Chapter 153 is tough!

Zhong Wan nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, please be careful on the road."

Just as she finished speaking and was about to get up, Wang Jia Hui stopped her.

"Don't move, you're not an outsider."

"All right."

Zhong Wan reluctantly agreed, and besides, she was still feeling sore and weak, and really didn't want to get up.

So he didn't argue with her, but turned to look at Lin Yan'an, just about to speak.

Zhong Yang quickly said, "Sister, I'll go see my brother and sister-in-law off. Let your brother-in-law stay with you."

"I'll head back to school right after I drop them off."

"Anyway, you have my brother-in-law here, just call me if you need anything."

Although he was a little reluctant, the brother-in-law his sister had chosen blindly was actually quite reliable.

Especially when dealing with his sister,

Zhong Wan nodded: "Okay, then you go and comfort your older brother and sister-in-law, see them off to their car, and then go back."

He Liqun quickly waved his hand: "No need, no need, we can go there ourselves."

Lin Yan'an also got up to see them off, and said while picking up his phone, "Then I'll contact the driver and have them take you there."

"Oh dear, why bother calling him a driver?"

Pei Xingyu ran over quickly: "I'll go. I drove here anyway. After dropping off my uncle and aunt, Zhong Yang and I can go back to school together."

Lin Yan'an put down his phone and nodded in agreement: "Okay, then I'll leave them to you."

"no problem."

Seeing this, Grandpa Zhou nodded and said, "Then let Xiaoyu take you there. Come visit us often in the future."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhong Yang and warmly invited him, "Yangyang, don't be shy. Your sister is here. You can come anytime. Send your ID card to your brother-in-law later, and I'll have him talk to the security guard so it will be easier for you to get in."

Zhong Yang quickly thanked him, "Thank you, Grandpa Zhou."

"We're family, no need to be so polite."

Grandpa Zhou waved his hand generously: "From now on, you can just call me Grandpa, just like Wanwan."

Zhong Yang was taken aback upon hearing this and subconsciously turned to look at Zhong Wan, but unexpectedly Zhong Wan did not see him. Instead, Lin Yan'an nodded to him.

Zhong Yang hesitated, but looking at the kind-looking old man in front of him, he nodded in agreement.

"Okay, Grandpa."

Well, although he has a grandfather, he has never met him.

In his memory, the terms "grandpa" and "grandma" simply referred to those two small mounds of earth.

So he didn't feel any psychological burden when he shouted.

After saying goodbye to everyone in the living room, Zhong Yang turned around and followed Pei Xingyu into the car.

After watching the car slowly drive away, the room returned to a brief silence.

Zhong Wan thought that things would finally calm down today,

The sudden ringing of the telephone broke the silence in the room.

And it's not just one phone.

Zhong Wan couldn't help but look at him curiously.

Cheng Yanzhou's, Pei Xubai's, and Lin Yan'an's.

"Mr. Lin, it was Mr. Chen's secretary who called."

Because Lin Yan'an's schedule had changed, Cheng Yanzhou quietly went upstairs to handle their work on the computer.

The moment he saw the phone ring, he frowned, grabbed his phone, and rushed downstairs.

There's disharmony within the company, at least with that General Manager Chen...

Thinking of this, he subconsciously quickened his pace.

"Um,"

Lin Yan'an nodded: "I understand, you don't need to worry about it, you can hang up now."

"OK."

Cheng Yanzhou was taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly agreed.

Pei Xubai walked over with his phone, his expression turning serious: "It's a call from the board secretariat."

"Me too."

Lin Yan'an hung up the phone, then looked at Pei Xubai and gave him a meaningful look.

Pei Xubai rolled his eyes speechlessly and answered the phone: "Hello."

The voice on the other end of the phone was clearly audible, especially since Pei Xubai had turned on speakerphone.

"President Pei, where did you and President Lin go?"

"We've just received a last-minute notice that the company's board of directors is holding a meeting, and you're the only ones missing."

Upon hearing this, Pei Xubai subconsciously exchanged a glance with Lin Yan'an and said in a deep voice, "Where's President Zhou? Has he returned as well?"

The person on the other end paused, then explained, "We can have the meeting online on Monday. Would you like to decide whether to have it online or come in person?"

"However, Mr. Chen knows you've already returned to Kyoto, so it would be best if you came over."

"The meeting was about the 'Blue Robe' project."

The project "The Man in the Green Robe" is the film project they are currently preparing for, which has just suspended filming.

The meaning of this phone call right now...

Lin Yan'an lowered his eyes and pondered, then said, "I understand, we'll be there right away."

After hanging up the phone, he looked up at Pei Xubai and said in a deep voice, "There's a high probability that the company's reserve funds are off-limits, and..."

At this point, Lin Yan'an paused, then continued, "Perhaps there will be other requirements."

Pei Xubai subconsciously glanced at Lin Yan'an, and in that instant, they both understood each other's meaning.

This battle will be tough.

“Brother-in-law, it’s time to make a decision.”

Lin Yan'an's eyes were resolute, and his face was serious: "I plan to withdraw. I'd rather do it myself and keep quiet."

"Um."

Pei Xubai pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Lin Yan'an didn't dwell on this with him; instead, she walked up to Zhong Wan.

Zhong Wan asked worriedly, "Is it very troublesome?"

Lin Yan'an shook his head, bent down and squatted down, looking at her worried eyes with a smile to comfort her, "Don't worry, it's no trouble, trust me, okay?"

"Then I'll go out with my brother-in-law for a bit, and we'll be back soon."

His tone was relaxed, as if he were simply taking a casual stroll.

"Okay, then be careful."

Zhong Wan reached into his chest pocket and took the small card holder. After opening it and seeing the lucky characters inside, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She reached out and put the item back in its place, then patted his shoulder casually: "Go ahead and don't worry, I'll wait for you to come back."

"Um."

Lin Yan'an nodded, took her small hand in his, looked up into her eyes and asked, "How about I take you back to your room first so you can get a good night's sleep?"

"Go ahead, let Wanwan lie down and rest for a while, she's been sitting for half a day."

Before Zhong Wan could reply, Old Master Zhou had already spoken up to shoo him away: "I'm going back to lie down for a while too. I'll have Old Zhao bring lunch in later."

Alright, the old man has arranged everything.

Lin Yan'an carried Zhong Wan back upstairs, and Pei Xingyao was also sent home by Liu Hua through Pei Xubai's request.

After settling in, Lin Yan'an and the other two hurriedly drove away.

Star Entertainment Company conference room

The secretary waiting at the conference room door breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Lin Yan'an and Pei Xubai approaching side by side, and quickly turned to push open the conference room door.

"President Pei, President Lin, you've finally arrived."

"Um."

Pei Xubai nodded and patted his shoulder: "You've worked hard."

"Oh, our busy actor Pei and screenwriter Lin actually know to come back to the company?"

As soon as the two arrived at the door, they heard a familiar, sarcastic voice coming from inside.
