When Shi Xu asked Shi Xi such a question, he actually wanted Shi Xi to inherit the Shi family's shares.

By having Shi Xi work under him, Shi Xu can always protect her.

In this way, no one will look down on Shixi anymore.

It's just that Shi Xi was unwilling to inherit the shares, so Shi Xu used a more tactful approach.

He asked Shi Xi to go to the company to help him...

He didn't need Shi Xu's help; he just wanted a reason to keep Shi Xi by his side.

Shi Xi smiled and said, "Big brother is so capable, what help do you need from me? Besides, there's nothing I can do."

She just wants to make money in the entertainment industry.

Shi's mother chimed in, "The bigger the family business, the harder it is to maintain. They may appear diligent and respectful on the surface, but who knows how much money they've embezzled behind the scenes!"

Father Shi nodded in deep agreement, “Even if it’s family, you can’t trust them.”

"You're still young, let's talk about it after you graduate." Shi Xu changed the subject and asked, "What are your plans after this drama wraps up?"

Perhaps in a few years, Shi Xi will understand his good intentions.

Without mentioning the shares, Shi Xi breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes shining brightly. "There's a variety show coming up soon."

"Won't this interfere with your schooling?" Shi's mother was worried about Shi Xi's studies.

Shi Xi calculated the time and said, "Don't worry, it won't be delayed."

She had told Han Chuan that no matter what, her studies should take priority.

"As long as it doesn't interfere with my studies."

The Shi family did not object much to Shi Xi's decision to enter the entertainment industry.

After chatting in the living room for a while, Shi Xi went upstairs to rest.

While I was taking a bath, my phone vibrated; it was a video call from Tao Yuxuan.

Shi Xi immediately switched to voice call and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Let me ask how you've been!" Tao Yuxuan asked. "Where are you?"

"At home." After saying that, Shi Xi added, "The Shi family."

"Hey! You're finally back!" Tao Yuxuan exclaimed in delight. "I knew it! You've been with the Shi family for eighteen years. Even if you're not their biological daughter, you should still receive some compensation. Now that you're back, I hope Ning Yu didn't bully you?"

Shi Xi said helplessly, "Nobody bullied me."

Everyone is very kind to her.

The good things made her feel that she was the worst.

"Then you should be careful too. Ning Yu seems to be very scheming. She might be plotting something!" Tao Yuxuan never hesitated to assume the worst about others.

Especially speculating about Ning Yu.

Shi Xi simply changed the subject: "Where are you? When are you coming back?"

"I just met a tall, handsome guy with eight-pack abs on Naples Beach! I guess I won't be able to go back anytime soon." Tao Yuxuan's tone gradually became infatuated. "He's so handsome, and his voice is so charming. He can also play the guitar! I'm going to see his bar performance tomorrow."

Shi Xi: "Bar... drink less alcohol."

"Don't worry, I'll only have one drink, then I'll pretend to be drunk, hehe." Tao Yuxuan smiled knowingly, then added, "By the way, I might miss your birthday, don't be angry, I'll bring you a present!"

Shi Xi was overjoyed, "It's okay, it's okay, you can have fun outside, have a few more days!"

It's best not to come back!

Without Tao Yuxuan stirring up trouble, her birthday party would have been a peaceful affair.

Tao Yuxuan: "If I can make it back, I will try my best."

Shi Xi: "Try to get to know as many handsome guys as possible."

Don't come back and cause trouble.
