Seeing her suddenly pale face, Shangguan Lin asked anxiously, "Wu Bao, what happened?"

Shangguan Wu snapped back to reality instantly.

A hint of annoyance flashed in her eyes; she should have controlled her expression.

The truth cannot be told.

She stood up and said, "Dad, Mom, Ji Mingjing sent a message asking me to go over there again. I have to go now, I'll come see you later!"

She took advantage of this time to go to the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy to get medicine for her mother to regulate her body.

Shangguan Lin was worried about her health: "Don't come over tonight, go to bed early, it's the same if you come tomorrow."

"Okay." Shangguan Wu nodded: "Mm."

Qin Xiaoxian knew how important what her little girl was doing was, and although she was worried, she didn't stop her from going. She only told her, "Wu Bao, you have to protect yourself. Think about me, your dad, and Yun Zhen, okay?"

"Mom, I value my life very much. I always have bodyguards with me wherever I go," Shangguan Wu gently reassured her parents.

Qin Xiaoxian was relieved: "Okay, go ahead, don't keep people waiting."

Under the watchful eyes of her parents, Shangguan Wu walked out of the ward and left the hospital with Du Wei.

It was already dark, and the streetlights were on.

As soon as she got on the bus, Shangguan Wu took out her phone and called Kang Jie.

The call connected, and Kang Jie's voice came through: "Hello, boss."

Shangguan Wu asked casually, "What activities are the company's artists up to lately?"

Kang Jie was taken aback at first, then found the schedules of all the company's artists and reported them one by one.

After Mu Liangzhou's studio was transferred to Tiansong Company, the company signed seven more promising artists.

Because they were willing to spend money, these seven artists have had a fairly good career.

When Shangguan Wu heard that He Xiu was filming two dramas at the same time, she raised an eyebrow. He was so busy, he probably didn't have time to contact his older sister.

After a few seconds of consideration, Kang Jie on the other end of the phone finally spoke: "Boss, the male lead for He Xiu's other drama was originally intended for Mu Liangzhou, but Mu Liangzhou was focused on talent shows. He recommended He Xiu to audition, and He Xiu was originally selected by Director Xiao, which would have been a happy ending for everyone."

But He Xiu, because he was filming two dramas at the same time, took five days off in one month. I called He Xiu, and every time he verbally agreed, but he did it again. Yesterday, Director Xiao gave me an ultimatum: if it happens again, he'll replace him.

Kang Jie didn't want to complain behind his back.

He admitted that He Xiu's acting skills were very good and that he would definitely win an award in time.

But He Xiu got a little carried away.

Before the company changed owners, He Xiu was always available and never slacked off on any job he was asked to take on. After the change of owners, his contract was revised, and because his drama became a hit, he landed many endorsements and was flush with cash, so he became less attentive to his work.

For artists like this, appropriate reprimands are necessary, but Kang Jie couldn't figure out the boss's attitude towards He Xiu, which is why he kept dragging it out.

However, once Director Xiao replaces He Xiu, the media will definitely speculate, and rival companies will also try to take advantage of the situation.

Is He Xiu planning to retire?

Kang Jie was extremely troubled.

Shangguan Wu rubbed his forehead after hearing this.

Can power and status really change a person so easily?

And Mu Liangzhou, he's just a mascot for a talent show, is it really necessary for him to stay there every day?

They're all troublesome.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll talk to He Xiu myself. You go ahead with your work. Goodbye."

"It's not hard work at all, this is what I should do. Goodbye, boss."

After hanging up the phone, Shangguan Wu looked out at the colorful neon lights and thought about how to talk to He Xiu.

???

As evening fell, Yan Yirou returned home and, upon seeing Yan Yixuan in the living room, almost turned around and left.

But this is clearly her home, why should she leave?

Yan Yirou stood rooted to the spot.

"elder sister!"

Yan Yixuan seemed oblivious to Yan Yirou's dislike for her, and said excitedly, "I'm getting married! The wedding with Xianli is scheduled for May Day."

Is it still a marriage alliance with the Ji family?

Yan Yirou absentmindedly said, "Congratulations."

Yan Yixuan never expected that Yan Yirou would be so perfunctory towards her even though her wedding date had already been set!

Did she regret it?

Hmph, she even has Xianli's child, so it's no use for Yan Yirou to regret it!

"Sister, do you want to have a wedding with me? If we two sisters get married on the same day, it will definitely become a great story in the capital."

Yan Yixuan didn't want to cause herself any trouble, so she got straight to the point.

Yan Yirou was suddenly stunned.

After regaining her composure, she sighed, "Sigh, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that you know how special his job is, and we don't even know if he'll be able to come back for the May Day holiday!"

Yan Yirou regretfully shifted the blame to Gu Chenye.

Yan Yixuan said with a smile, "As long as you don't have any objections, I can talk to your future brother-in-law. Don't worry, he will definitely be willing to marry you."

What kind of communication is she supposed to have?!

Yan Yirou's face suddenly turned cold as she stared at her, enunciating each word clearly: "I'm not at ease!"

"What?" Yan Yixuan was dumbfounded.

Yan Yirou said sarcastically, "My relationship with my boyfriend is none of your business. Don't contact him either. I don't want another Ji Xianli!"

In an instant, Yan Yixuan's face turned pale with anger.

What does she mean?

Did she think she would seduce Gu Chenye?

Yan Yixuan was furious and about to explode when she noticed a figure moving at the door. She said aggrievedly, "Sister, you misunderstood me. I just wanted to tell my future brother-in-law that we sisters will have a wedding together, and he will definitely want to marry you as soon as possible."
