This matter should not be allowed to escalate too much.

Tao Zidong had already shown great sincerity, and Xiao He wouldn't be ungrateful and immediately take advantage of the opportunity.

Although he couldn't completely seize the opportunity to acquire the "Cangyue Tribulation" project with Jiaxing Entertainment, he still managed to get quite a bit. Now that the main party has come looking for him, Xiao He isn't feeling guilty at all. Instead, he takes this opportunity to get even more.

Tao Zidong wasn't angry at all. Instead, he gave up some of his share and had a pleasant conversation with Xiao He, exchanging contact information with him.

Tao Zidong returned from studying abroad. Among that group of wealthy young men, he was the type who didn't spend money extravagantly, but he was quite wild in his pursuit of pleasure.

Especially his extreme sports and adventure activities, which are so popular that if he posts videos of them online, he'll be met with a sarcastic comment like "rich people just love to die." This is one of the reasons why he's returning to China to inherit the family business. The Tao family is afraid that their "good-for-nothing" second son might one day fail in a big adventure abroad and they won't even be able to find his body.

Coincidentally, Xiao He now possesses considerable expertise in these extreme sports. Thus, with one being interested and the other willing, their conversation naturally expanded into a shared topic.

"Ah, I was thinking of going on that European tour before too."

Tao Zidong's face showed undisguised surprise.

"I was invited by the Lederola team to have the opportunity to try my hand at the event, mainly because my teammates were great."

Xiao He answered tactfully.

"Hey, no need to be so modest—"

Tao Zidong immediately smiled and patted Xiao He on the shoulder, asking in a friendly manner, "Shall we find a place to compete another day?"

Xiao He refused outright: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tao, I'll probably be busy with work for a long time."

"The Record of Chasing the Wind" and "The Calamity of the Moon" have basically filled Xiao He's work schedule for the second half of the year, and he really doesn't have time to deal with this young master.

"Oh, I see. Let's talk again later."

Tao Zidong had just taken office and probably hadn't been in office for long, so they simply brushed this matter aside as a polite remark.

Only after the person was officially seen off did Xiao He finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at the few files left on the desktop, he sighed with some emotion: "This second half of the year is really going to be busy."

Tao Zidong showed great sincerity this time, directly offering two important investment projects from Xingchen Pictures for the second half of this year and the first half of next year, and expressing his willingness to reserve a place for Linghui Entertainment.

This is much more sincere than simply giving Xiao He a script and asking him to work on their project.

Liu Rulan also came over: "Then you need to be mentally prepared. I think filming for 'Cangyue Jie' will resume soon, and you'll probably be running back and forth between the two places."

Although both film crews happen to be nearby, they should be able to make it by coordinating according to their schedules. However, Xiao He will definitely have a very tough time.

Xiao He had expected this, but he sighed and said with a helpless self-deprecation, "I said before that I would film something relaxing and take a break, but here I am, two period dramas, one martial arts and one fantasy, and both of them involve flying around. I'm really juggling multiple projects this time. It seems I'm destined to be a workaholic."

Liu Rulan shook her head helplessly: "This second male lead role shouldn't be too difficult for you. I'll discuss it with Deng Lei from 'The Legend of Chasing the Wind' and try my best to adjust the filming schedule for you."

Fortunately, they now have a share in "The Legend of Chasing the Wind," making them one of Deng Lei's "bosses," so it's not too much to ask them for this.

"I will also negotiate with the producers of 'Cang Yue Jie' to help you secure the most favorable public opinion."
