Major newspapers, while eye-catching, maintained a certain level of restraint. However, the sensationalist tabloids, eager to stand out, used titles designed to provoke curiosity and grab attention.

The headlines touched on many sensitive topics, greatly stimulating readers' interest, causing newspaper sales to surge. Newsstands across the city saw their owners grinning with delight.

In addition to these articles, there were numerous reports related to the "Millionaire" program.

**"Millionaire Program Tops First Broadcast, 'Happy Tonight' Becomes a Stepping Stone!"**

**"First Broadcast Rating Peaks at 36.7%, A Masterpiece Emerges!"**

**"TV Stations Battle: Global TV on the Offensive!"**

Such news sent shockwaves through the industry. Many realized that Global TV was making a serious play, signaling significant trouble for Wireless TV. After all, "Seven Dragon Balls" had already dominated its timeslot, and it was rumored that three other major anime were also in production.

But before the anime had even aired, "Millionaire" emerged, directly challenging Wireless TV's flagship program "Happy Tonight," and succeeded in overshadowing it.

Moreover, Global TV was reportedly investing heavily in filming a series of record-breaking shows, with "The Legend of Qin" leading in influence. Wireless TV was clearly struggling to keep up.

This realization made many tremble, understanding that after Global TV's change in leadership, it was now armed with powerful new resources, ready to make a big splash in the television industry.

Another group that reacted strongly were the advertisers. Upon receiving invitations for advertising slots in the "Millionaire" program, they rushed to invest, excited by the program's success.

Everything was moving in a promising direction.

After approving Huang Xizhao's request for the "Millionaire" program to air four times a week, Xia Yu checked his watch and, looking at Li Qian, who was smiling at him with her chin resting on her hand, said, "Qianqian!"

"Xia Yu, are you ready?"

Li Qian, brought back to reality by Xia Yu's warm gaze, felt a sweet sensation in her heart and replied gently.

"Yeah, let's go. It's about time!"

With that, Xia Yu stood up, and Li Qian also rose to help adjust his clothes.

"Did you bring everything?"

Xia Yu gently touched Li Qian's delicate face and asked softly.

Li Qian nodded, her face showing a hint of hesitation as she said, "Xia Yu, do you think the gift for my sister might seem a bit too modest?"

Seeing Li Qian's troubled expression, Xia Yu smiled inwardly and comforted her, "Your gift is carefully prepared. How could it be modest? It's filled with your heartfelt intention and is quite valuable!"

"Alright, stop overthinking. Let's go!"

"Mm-hmm!"

With Xia Yu's reassurance, Li Qian sighed in relief and flashed a sweet smile.

Soon, Xia Yu and Li Qian arrived at the pier. Within two minutes, a yacht docked, and a few bodyguards escorted a young woman down the ramp.

Xia Yu and Li Qian made a striking pair—one handsome and the other stunningly beautiful—accompanied by bodyguards. Naturally, ordinary people kept their distance. The young woman, dressed in a pink dress, hurriedly descended the yacht and joyfully ran towards them.

"Good morning!"

"Mm-hmm!"

"Xia Yu, Sister, thank you for coming to pick me up!"

The young woman, with eyes full of affection, greeted Xia Yu and then looked at Li Qian, who was dressed in a white gown. Her eyes also reflected surprise and admiration as she called out, "Sister," to the smiling Li Qian.

Li Qian, relieved by the warm welcome, smiled gently and said, "Hello, my dear. I'm Li Qian. It's a pleasure to meet you!"

"I'm very happy to meet you too, Sister!"

Seeing this harmonious interaction, Xia Yu couldn't help but smile, sensing a promising future.

At this point, the bodyguards quietly surrounded them. When Xia Yu glanced at them, they all bowed respectfully, clearly aware of his prominent status.

Turning to her bodyguards, the young woman said, "You can go back. I'm safe here."

"Miss, the master instructed us…"

The lead bodyguard, showing some hesitation, was cut off by Xia Yu's authoritative voice.

"Alright, I'll be responsible for her safety. If anyone asks you, just say that I instructed you. You won't be blamed."

Hearing this, though reluctant, the lead bodyguard knew Xia Yu's influence and could only respectfully agree, "Understood, Mr. Xia. We'll leave Miss in your capable hands."

With that, the bodyguards departed.

Seeing them leave, the young woman, clearly happy, asked Xia Yu, "Xia Yu, where are we going?"

"It's getting late. How about we find a place for lunch first and then go for a walk in the afternoon?" Xia Yu suggested, glancing at his watch.

"Mm-hmm!"

"Sounds good!"

The three of them got into a car, with Xia Yu intentionally taking the front seat while the two women sat in the back.

The other bodyguards drove two additional cars, and soon, the three vehicles set off towards Central Hong Kong.

Initially, the two women didn't know what to say, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Xia Yu noticed through the rearview mirror that both seemed eager to speak but hesitated. He realized he needed to help.

"You both have prepared gifts, right? Qianqian, as the elder sister, don't be shy."

Xia Yu encouraged with a light smile.

Li Qian seemed invigorated by Xia Yu's words. She carefully took out a delicate bracelet from her bag and said softly, "Sister, this bracelet is handpicked by me, and I also prayed at a temple for it. I hope it brings you safety and makes you even more beautiful!"

"Thank you, Sister!"

The young woman accepted the bracelet, put it on her wrist, twirled it around, and sweetly smiled, "Sister, it's beautiful. I really like it! Thank you for your blessing!"

"I'm glad you like it!"

Li Qian said gently.

"Sister, I also have a gift for you!"

She took out a finely made sachet and, under Li Qian's curious gaze, explained, "This is a sachet I made myself, filled with jasmine flowers. I hope you like it."

"Thank you, little sister. It smells so nice. I really like this fragrance."

Li Qian joyfully accepted the sachet, took a moment to enjoy its scent, and displayed a content expression.

Knowing that jasmine flowers symbolize friendship, Li Qian felt reassured by the gesture, appreciating the friendly intent behind the gift. 

Watching everything through the rearview mirror, Xia Yu smiled with relief. Both women followed his advice, and though the actual value of the gifts was minimal, they carried significant personal meaning, marking a good start.

After exchanging gifts, the relationship between the two women seemed to improve significantly. They began chatting softly and laughing, and the atmosphere in the car grew cheerful.
