"Manager Hao, it's so late, I hope I haven't disturbed you?"
Manager Hao smiled. The bar was very quiet, with the occasional melodious sound of a saxophone drifting through the air. Even if he took a phone call, the people next to him could hear it.
Fang Han, who was standing to the side, looked up at him with some surprise. He was about to bring a glass of whiskey to his lips when he silently put his hand down.
Manager Hao asked in a low voice, "What are your instructions, Miss Jiang?"
"Help me investigate someone," Jiang Can said softly. "Find out all her background information! I don't want the official information online... Manager Hao, you understand, right?"
"Okay, I'll take care of it right away. May I ask who Miss Jiang wants to investigate?"
"Qingshan Entertainment Company, Cheng Xuerou."
Manager Hao paused for a moment, then looked at Fang Han with suspicion.
He's quick-witted and knows Jiang Can well; he wouldn't bother investigating her if he had nothing better to do.
He had heard of Cheng Xuerou; she was a rich and beautiful woman who had recently been signed by Qingshan Entertainment.
So it seems that Jiang Can investigated Cheng Xuerou either for Lin Yuqing's sake or for her own?
Fang Han's expression changed. He knew the inside story, but the young master had instructed him not to let the secret leak out, and he was determined not to say it.
But this caused Jiang Can to misunderstand!
Fang Han was determined to protect his master, gesturing frantically with both hands to Manager Hao, urging him to explain to Jiang Can that Cheng Xuerou had absolutely no relation to Huo Zhixing.
Manager Hao frowned, completely baffled as to why he was gesturing so wildly.
During the silence, Jiang Can immediately sensed something was wrong.
"Manager Hao, do you have someone with you?"
“Um, Miss Jiang, this…” Manager Hao was a straightforward person, so he didn’t hide anything from her. “I had nothing to do tonight, so I invited Brother Fang Han out for a couple of drinks.”
"Oh, so Fang Han is with you?"
"Yes."
Fang Han covered his face and slumped onto the table, utterly dejected. This Manager Hao is such an honest man!
Jiang Can smiled and said, "Put the phone on speakerphone, I need to say a few words to Fang Han."
Manager Hao obediently did as instructed.
“Miss Jiang…” Fang Han scratched his head with one hand and quickly dug a hole in the table with the other.
"Did you hear what I just said to Manager Hao?"
"Listen, I heard it!"
"You know the person I'm investigating?"
"Um...I know." Fang Han knew that denying it was useless.
"Very well." Jiang Can smiled, her voice soft but her aura commanding. "If you dare tell these words to your young master, you'll see what the consequences are!"
"However... if you keep your mouth shut and help me with my business, I won't treat you unfairly."
"You can decide for yourself how to proceed!"
Fang Han was already sweating profusely, and his heart was pounding.
One heart seems insufficient to keep up with this couple.
He quickly agreed, and the instant he hung up the phone, he said to Manager Hao, "I have Cheng Xuerou's background information and resume, I'll send them to you right now!"
...
Jiang Can did not intend to do anything to Cheng Xuerou.
The investigation was simply to gain a better understanding of the situation and be prepared for any eventuality.
Lin Yuqing was right about one thing: even if Huo Zhixing had no ulterior motives, it couldn't be guaranteed that the woman was just as innocent.
After receiving the documents, Jiang Can smiled slightly, carefully saved them, and then quietly went to bed, nestled in Huo Zhixing's arms, and fell asleep peacefully.
For several days in a row, everything was calm and peaceful.
Preparations for the new film are nearing completion, and filming will begin soon. However, Tang Yilan is not in high spirits and has been absent from several meetings.
Jiang Can asked her out for coffee, but she only took two sips before putting it down and looking out the window, lost in thought.
Jiang Can had a vague feeling that this expression was exactly like the way female protagonists in movies and TV dramas look when they are heartbroken.
As she thought about it, her heart skipped a beat.
If Tang Yilan really breaks up with her boyfriend, what will happen to the film's progress? She knows that for someone like Director Tang who relies on his talent, mood and inspiration are extremely important.
She wanted to offer some advice to Tang Yilan, but since the other person didn't bring it up, she didn't feel comfortable asking.
Jiang Can was bored, so she took out her phone and browsed around. Suddenly, a video caught her eye.
The video shows a very beautiful and ethereal girl playing the guitar and singing. Her voice is melodious and pleasant to listen to. Fans keep giving her likes and tips, and the number of people watching her sing has exceeded 100,000.
"Heh," Jiang Can smiled faintly, "I didn't expect Cheng Xuerou to be so influential. Brother Xia Shan is going to make a fortune."
"What?" Upon hearing the name Cheng Xuerou, Tang Yilan jumped up as if she had been electrocuted and sat down next to Jiang Can.
She stared intently at the screen, her little fists clenched.
"Ha...what is that!" Tang Yilan scoffed. "His singing is nothing special."
Jiang Can glanced at her.
Director Tang, who is usually very tomboyish, showed a girlish jealousy on his face at this moment, but it wasn't the kind of jealousy that was intense. Behind the slight jealousy, there was also a hint of disappointment.
Tang Yilan lowered her head, picked up a tissue from the table, and tore it into strips.
Jiang Can was taken aback. "I only said that he had a lot of influence, why are you reacting so strongly?"
Jiang Can should be the one with the strongest reaction, because she is Huo Zhixing's ideal woman!
"I……"
Tang Yilan took a deep breath, held it in for a long time, and finally stammered out, "I... I just don't like you praising her! I have a lot of influence too!"
“Yes, you are.” Jiang Can blinked. “But you’re a director, and she’s a singer. You’re in different fields. How can you compare?”
"Anyway, you're not allowed to praise her anymore!" Tang Yilan pouted. "Not even a single word!"
