Chapter 471: Crazy Philip

Hu Xiaoxiao then did nothing else but wait for news about the film "Magic Contract." If Philippe's side of things went smoothly and he secured investment, there would be some rumors circulating. Perhaps there would even be some hype to get the film going.

At the same time, Dong Peiyu called Philip every one or two days to analyze the progress of the matter from Philip's words.

Even though Philip was unwilling to reveal the inside story of Hamlet Company to Hu Xiaoxiao and spoke evasively, Hu Xiaoxiao still got what he wanted based on various clues.

When Philip finally succeeded in obtaining additional investment, and the investment amount was twice the original investment, even though he was always very calm, he couldn't help but show a bit of smugness.

Philip opened a bottle of rare red wine for himself, lit a rare cigar with exquisite patterns and luxurious appearance, and enjoyed it quietly.

Holding a glass of red wine in one hand and a cigar in the other, Philip sat on the luxurious and comfortable sofa, slightly closing his eyes, listening to the beautiful music in ecstasy.

"Mr. Philip." When Hu Xiaoxiao arrived at Philip's residence, this was the carefree scene he saw.

Philip opened his eyes, "Miss Xiaoxiao, you are here too?"

He only thought that it was Dong Peiyu who came to discuss things, but he didn't expect Hu Xiaoxiao to come along. This was the most proactive Hu Xiaoxiao had been since he knew her.

Did Hu Xiaoxiao come to him on his own initiative? Philip felt strangely happy: Was he showing his goodwill after hearing the news of the huge investment amount? Was he afraid of losing such a big production?

In this way, he has the upper hand.

Thinking of the previous times when Hu Xiaoxiao had made things difficult for him, Philip became angry with a vengeful mentality. He did not greet Hu Xiaoxiao warmly and politely as before and said words of praise. Instead, he continued to sit on the sofa without even changing his movements.

"It's rare for Miss Xiaoxiao to visit us. Please take a seat." Philip said politely, but his actions showed no sign of it. He didn't even give the guest a hint as to where to sit.

Moreover, after Philip took a slow sip of the wine, he slowly took a puff of his cigar.

Hu Xiaoxiao seemed oblivious to Philip's arrogance, smiling as usual, and said, "I didn't want to come here originally, but I thought that since I've known Mr. Philip for so long, it would be a bit rude not to say hello to Mr. Philip before returning home. So, seeing that Sister Dong was coming to discuss something with Mr. Philip, I followed Sister Dong here to say goodbye to Mr. Philip."

Philip was suddenly surprised: "Goodbye? You want to go back home?"

Everything has been discussed and agreed upon, the start time has been set, and she actually wants to go back to her country?

Such sudden news caught Philip off guard, and the cigar in his hand almost fell to the ground. Without caring about anything else, he stood up and asked again in shock: "Miss Xiaoxiao, it's already this time, and you want to return home?"

Although he felt very proud of obtaining additional investment, the implantation of two major brands was the main condition for him to obtain additional investment. If Hu Xiaoxiao suddenly quit the show and returned to his country, what would happen to the subsequent work?

The contract signed by the two major brands with Hamlet Company specified Hu Xiaoxiao. Once Hu Xiaoxiao leaves, the two major brand companies will immediately withdraw their investments.

Philip just wanted to manipulate Hu Xiaoxiao to get back at him for the insults he had suffered several times before. He didn't want Hu Xiaoxiao to quit. The film preparations were already in the final stage, and he couldn't withstand such a blow.

Hu Xiaoxiao didn't seem to notice Philip's shock. She still smiled elegantly and calmly, took out the plane ticket from her bag, and said, "Yes, I have booked a ticket back home tomorrow. I came here today to say goodbye to you."

At this moment, Philip had no time to enjoy himself, nor to save face. He threw his wine glass and cigar on the table, walked over to take Hu Xiaoxiao's plane ticket, and saw the time was tomorrow.

"Ms. Xiaoxiao, the film is about to start shooting. What do you mean by this?" Philip suppressed his anger and asked, "Are you dissatisfied with the current costumes again? But didn't you say you could handle the costumes yourself? Are you dissatisfied with your current treatment? If you are dissatisfied with anything or want something, just tell me!"

Hu Xiaoxiao said with a puzzled look on his face: "How could that be? I'm very satisfied!"

"Then why do you want to return home?"

Hu Xiaoxiao leisurely found a sofa chair and sat down, then asked again in confusion, "Mr. Philip, why are you so excited? I said I wanted to return home, not quit."

"But the movie is about to start!" Philip was so anxious that he wanted to kneel down to this lady.

"It is precisely because the film is about to start shooting that I want to return to China."

"you……"

When Philip was about to go crazy with anxiety, Hu Xiaoxiao finally told him the reason for returning to China: "I came back for the costumes. Although the costumes in the movie are provided by the brand, in order to create oriental elements and fit the image of an oriental wizard, I need to go back to China to select a costume and props."

"Are you returning home for this?" Philip's heartbeat was so intense that it seemed to have died in an instant. It stopped for a few beats before it started beating again.

He was scared to death!

It was because of this.

Hu Xiaoxiao asked him curiously, "What else does Mr. Philip think I'm returning to China for? Oh, is he worried that I won't wear the brand's costumes, which would lead to a breach of contract? Don't worry, when I was negotiating with Mr. Felix, I had already discussed the costumes with him. Mr. Felix knew about this oriental costume and took the initiative to recommend a few inner wears for me. So Mr. Philip, don't worry, we have already agreed on the costumes and we won't change our minds."

Philip wiped his forehead, and was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat.

He no longer dared to make trouble, so he personally took out his treasured wine, poured a glass for Hu Xiaoxiao, and handed it to Hu Xiaoxiao. He also poured a glass for Dong Peiyu, and his attitude returned to its previous gentleness and politeness.

"Miss Xiaoxiao, this is a fine wine I've treasured for many years. Please enjoy it," Philip said sincerely. "If I had known Miss Xiaoxiao was coming, I should have prepared more precious food to welcome her and celebrate our cooperation. I've never met a partner as beautiful, capable, and compatible as Miss Xiaoxiao. I'm so lucky. I heard that Miss Xiaoxiao is a gourmet? That's great! Besides work, I love to eat. In this regard, Miss Hu Xiaoxiao and I share the same interests and hobbies, which shows that we are destined to be together. There's a Michelin three-star restaurant I often go to that has excellent food. I wonder if I would have the honor of inviting Miss Xiaoxiao to share a meal with me?"
