Chapter 415 - Summary of Chapters from 399 to 415

The story follows Linton's large-scale maid recruitment campaign in Hong Kong, which unexpectedly evolves into a nationwide talent discovery. Initially, Linton arrives in Hong Kong with Miguel Herrera and meets his contact Lin Hao, to finalize the hiring of domestic staff for his estate. However, Miguel's overenthusiastic execution turns the process into a beauty pageant-like event, attracting thousands of young women. After several elimination rounds, 128 women remain -- many with performance and arts backgrounds.

Linton reviews detailed profiles presented by Lin Hao and Miguel, discovering names that would one day become famous in the entertainment world -- Li Xiaoran, Sophia Hu, Yan Danchen, Zeng Li, Gao Yuanyuan, Yin Tao, Michelle Dong, Qin Lan, Ni Hong Jie, Zhang Ziyi, Xu Jinglei, Li Bingbing, and several others.

Recognizing their potential, he decides to nurture them instead of restricting them to domestic work. He holds meetings to discuss acting, career development, and the realities of the film industry, offering mentorship and structured training programs while stressing the value of discipline and authenticity. His candid speeches encourage the women to think seriously about their ambitions, sparking both admiration and private competition among them. Linton's Hollywood background and influence impress many recruits, some of whom begin to see him as both a mentor and a potential partner capable of shaping their destinies.

Among them, Xu Jinglei, ambitious and confident, attempts to gain Linton's favor through charm and intimacy, hoping to secure her future in the industry. Similarly, Li Bingbing, driven by hardship, seeks his mentorship and support, leading to a relationship built on trust, sensuality, and ambition. Li Xiaoran expresses her dream to follow Linton to America as an assistant, promising to work hard and learn English. 

Linton refines the training curriculum for his recruits, emphasizing English proficiency, etiquette, and discipline.

Xu Qing, a poised and mature actress, with family ties to Lin Hao helps Linton with logistical arrangements and culinary recruitment while becoming his cultural guide and romantic interest. Their shared travels and thoughtful conversations deepen into a meaningful relationship.

Outside these professional endeavors, Linton explores Hong Kong's antique markets with Lin Hao, searching for cultivation treasures. Using his spiritual senses, he successfully identifies a hidden artifact -- a stone concealing a powerful spatial ring. 

After securing treasures and overseeing recruit training, Linton embarks on a scenic journey across China with Xu Qing. They visit natural and cultural landmarks, deepening their emotional and physical relationship while Linton quietly searches for additional cultivation artifacts. Although his spiritual quest yields nothing, the experience strengthens their bond.

Returning to Beijing, Linton attends high-profile meetings with China Film Group executives Han Sanping and Sun Tao. Their discussions focus on importing Hollywood blockbusters into China, fostering cross-cultural exchange and strengthening Linton's influence in the Chinese film industry. Demonstrating generosity and foresight, he offers free television broadcast rights for all of his films, winning respect and building key alliances.

To conclude this stage of his journey, Linton and Xu Qing purchase an exclusive villa in Beijing -- a symbolic and emotional milestone reflecting both their deepening relationship. Linton gifts Xu Qing a phoenix quartz pendant, representing affection and spiritual harmony.
