This is a very handsome man with high brow bones, deep-set features, and a rugged yet wild air about him. He is the kind of tough guy that was very popular a few years ago.

Xiao He already had a deep impression of this face without Liu Rulan needing to introduce it further.

—Shu Han, an artist previously managed by Liu Rulan, had a very successful career in China before jumping on the Hollywood bandwagon and moving to the United States.

This person is arguably the most noteworthy in Liu Rulan's career as an agent, and is considered one of the most accomplished individuals in her resume.

Unlike the other two artists, who forgot their roots after parting ways and cut ties with Liu Rulan, Shu Han and Liu Rulan have always had a very good relationship. They keep in touch during holidays and chat on the phone about their lives and careers in their spare time.

This can be considered a rare example of an amicable parting in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Xiao He was surprised to learn that Shu Han had actually returned to China.

I don't know when they came back—it seems that since Hollywood's development has gradually declined in recent years, many stars and actors who went abroad back then have gradually disappeared from the public eye. Most of them have either switched to capital or returned to China, focusing their attention back on the domestic entertainment market.

Xiao He has paid less attention to news about Shu Han in the past year or two.

Upon suddenly seeing him appear, Xiao He was momentarily taken aback.

Liu Rulan slapped her forehead and said regretfully, "Look at my memory! You mentioned to me a while ago that you were going back to China, but I've been too busy lately and forgot about it."

Some time ago, Liu Rulan was busy trying to persuade Zhuang Hongyi and Ning Jiaqi to help Xiao He get a script, so she accidentally forgot about this matter.

"It's nothing. I didn't say in detail when I was coming back. I originally wanted to come directly to see you and give you a surprise," Shu Han replied with a smile. "I didn't expect you to give me such a big scare first! I saw the news of your car accident as soon as I landed. I was so worried. Are you alright?"

"It's alright, we're all getting ready to be discharged," Liu Rulan said, while asking with concern, "You rushed over as soon as you landed, haven't you eaten yet?"

"I ate on the plane."

Shu Han looked at Xiao He, scrutinizing him seriously from head to toe: "Not bad, you're an excellent young man. I've seen all the news about you. You dared to go to the tanker truck to save people at that time. You're really brave. I really admire you."

"Sigh, let's not talk about this anymore. I haven't even had a chance to properly lecture this brat yet." Liu Rulan walked over to Xiao He and poked his forehead helplessly. "You should be more careful when you save people in the future! If I hadn't been dizzy at the time, I really wanted to drag you down and give you a good beating."

"I was wrong."

Xiao He slid to his knees with great ease, while also playing the victim: "Sister Liu, my mom called and scolded me yesterday. I promise I won't do it again!"

Liu Rulan sneered: "I see now, you were wrong this time, but you'll dare to do it again next time."

Xiao He glanced around and met the amused expressions of the others in the room. Feeling quite embarrassed, he chose to "escape": "I'll go take care of the formalities. Teacher Shu, you and Sister Liu can catch up. Xiao Chen, hurry up and get Sister Liu's medicine!"

"Okay."

Xiao Chen ran very fast, while Fan Congwen also took the initiative to walk outside: "I'm going to the parking lot to prepare the car."

After everyone left, the once empty ward returned to quiet.

Liu Rulan gestured for Shu Han to sit wherever he wanted, and then she casually sat down on the edge of the bed herself.

"Sister Liu, are you really alright?"

Shu Han took off his hat and looked at Liu Rulan with some concern in his eyes.

"I'm really fine." Liu Rulan shook her head. "But you, are you leaving again this time?"

Hollywood is not doing so well these days, especially since the prevailing "correctness" there is rapidly stifling the creative energy of its creators. Although there are still good scripts and movies being released, these opportunities are almost nonexistent for these people.

To put it bluntly, these days, if you're looking to photograph a pet cat, the first choice is definitely a black or white cat, or a good-looking mixed-breed cat, while purebred Chinese domestic cats are not as popular.
