Jiang Can frowned slightly.

Before he could say anything, the assistant's expression changed instantly.

"Oh my, Reporter Feng!" The assistant rushed out from the front desk to greet him, beaming. "What brings you here? Hahaha..."

The shrill laughter made Jiang Can extremely uncomfortable.

The assistant practically ran to greet the reporter. Jiang Can glanced at him; the man was a well-known senior in the industry, with close relationships with many celebrities.

"Please come in quickly!" the assistant said with a smile. As he passed by Jiang Can, he suddenly bumped her hard with his shoulder, whether intentionally or not.

"Reporter Feng, you've finally arrived! You don't know how many overconfident tabloid reporters always come here to cause trouble! Haha, luckily my Nie Xin is free today, just waiting for your exclusive interview!"

"Your writing is so brilliant, every single one of your articles becomes a bestseller! Haha..."

The two went inside, while Jiang Can stood outside, her small hands clenched into fists.

Huo Zhixing stepped forward, took her hand, and smiled gently, "Let's go."

Jiang Can followed him out.

She was in a bad mood, her head hanging low. When they reached a milk tea shop on the street, Huo Zhixing asked her, "Sago pudding or grass jelly, which do you prefer?"

"Um?"

Jiang Can looked up and met the person's gentle smile.

When they were in Jiangzhou, on the first day after their marriage, she asked him the same question when she bought milk tea.

She laughed, pointed to the taro balls on the sign, and emphasized that they should be served frozen.

She desperately needs something ice-cold to calm the fire in her heart!

Huo Zhixing nodded and calmly went to buy milk tea. However, when he returned, Jiang Can discovered that the milk tea was still warm...

"you?"

"You're not allowed to drink anything cold." Huo Zhixing glanced at her.

Jiang Can was stunned; the day hadn't come yet!

"No matter what, you're not allowed to drink anything cold." He held her small hand. "Shen Xiao said you have a weak constitution and need to keep warm, so you're not allowed to touch cold drinks from now on, understand?"

“But…” Jiang Can pouted.

However, she knew that acting cute or being unreasonable wouldn't work; once this man got serious, he wouldn't listen to either.

She sighed and slumped onto the table, dejected.

Huo Zhixing ruffled her hair, a look of doting affection appearing on his sharply defined face.

"Now you know how fierce his assistants are, right?" Jiang Can said softly. "I'd heard that Nie Xin was known for his good relationships and how much he doted on his fans, but he actually has this kind of group of people behind him! His career is in jeopardy..."

What was meant as a sigh was interpreted by Huo Zhixing as something else entirely.

His eyes darkened, and he said in a low voice, "You're worried about him?"

Jiang Can, biting her straw, froze. "No!"

He gave a muffled "hmm," realizing that his jealousy was indeed rather unreasonable...

Huo Zhixing looked down at his phone without saying a word. After a short while, a middle-aged man came in through the door, stood respectfully by the table, and nodded slightly with a smile.

"Third Young Master!"

Jiang Can was somewhat surprised.

Huo Zhixing smiled and said, "This is Manager Hao from Huaguang Media, who is currently in charge of the company's overall business."

"Oh." Jiang Can nodded.

Huo Zhixing looked at her, a warmth emanating from his deep eyes, and held her small hand in his palm.

"He'll take you in in a bit. Your interview outline that you stayed up all night working on won't be wasted."

"What?" Jiang Can's eyes widened.

The middle-aged man in front of me looks honest and kind; he doesn't seem like someone who works in the entertainment industry at all.

"Don't worry," Huo Zhixing chuckled softly, "Manager Hao is very experienced."

After finishing her milk tea, Jiang Can stood at the entrance of Nie Xin's studio.

She took a deep breath, strolled inside, and continued to face the assistant's eye-rolling.

"Sigh," the assistant sneered while cracking sunflower seeds, "Some people are like flies, you can't shake them off!"

"I already told you that Nie Xin is unavailable, why aren't you leaving?!"

“But I just saw a reporter go in,” Jiang Can said, her tone neither humble nor arrogant. “Besides, I just want to schedule a time and hope Mr. Nie can give me an interview opportunity…”

"You think you can compare to them?" The assistant glared at him, his face full of sarcasm.

Yes, there's no comparison; he's a journalist.

Jiang Can pursed her lips and said softly, "Excuse me, does Actor Nie know that he has such a scheming assistant in his studio?"

"What do you mean?"

"If he knows, it means he's not a very good person, and I'd rather not do this interview! But if he doesn't know, I'm very worried about his future. I'm afraid all his hard work over the years will be for nothing, and his reputation will be ruined by you!"

"you……"

Just as the assistant was about to lash out, a voice came from not far away: "Manager Hao!"

Jiang Can paused for a moment as the man rushed over to the middle-aged man beside her. The man smiled kindly but refused the man's enthusiastic hug, only shaking his hand.

That person seemed to be someone of some status or position; otherwise, the assistant wouldn't have looked intimidated when she saw him.

"I was unaware of Manager Hao's presence; I have not been so welcoming! Ah... I wonder what brings Manager Hao here today..."

"It's about the interview." Manager Hao took a step back and stood respectfully next to Jiang Can. "Ms. Jiang, this is the head of the studio and Nie Xin's agent, Xu Yan."

Xu Yan pushed up his glasses, looked Jiang Can up and down, his gaze complex.

"Our Miss Jiang just wanted an opportunity to interview the Best Actor, but your assistant kept blocking her way. I saw it all just now!"

Manager Hao smiled, but his words were like pebbles thrown at them.

"If Mr. Xu doesn't want to arrange this interview with Actor Nie, that's fine with me. However, our Huaguang Media belongs to the Huo Group, and the Huo Group allocates tens of billions of yuan to us every year for film and television development."

"It seems that Actor Nie's team doesn't care about such small productions or investments."

"Therefore, we will not consider collaborating with Actor Nie on the next few new films developed by Huaguang!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yan became anxious, and then saw Manager Hao making a move to leave, and respectfully extending his hand to let Jiang Can go first...

He glared at his assistant and hurriedly chased after him.

"Manager Hao, please wait!" Xu Yan said with a forced smile. "This...this is really sorry, it was my fault! I may have offended Miss Jiang in any way just now, please forgive me!"

“Ms. Jiang,” Manager Hao turned to Jiang Can and bowed, “what do you think?”

Jiang Can replied softly, "I just wanted to schedule an interview."

"No problem," Xu Yan said quickly. "I'll arrange it for you right away!"

"That won't do," Manager Hao laughed. "Some people said my young lady isn't qualified to interview Actor Nie, and even told her to take a look in the mirror and see what she really is, saying she's like a fly that you can't shake off... Ha, we can't just let these things go!"
