After a long silence, Nie Xin simply said, "Let's talk about this later."
"What do you mean, we'll talk about it later?" Huo Zhixing's deep voice came from behind.
"If Can Can tells you to do it, then do it right away! Dragging it out like that, is that how a man acts?"
Nie Xin: "..."
You're so aloof, but you've got a man's spirit!
It's not like your wife wanted airplane food in the middle of the night, so you went and brought over the catering company.
Nie Xin rolled her eyes at him and let out a soft snort.
"I need to go to drama school for further studies, so I'll be going now!"
"I said you..." Before Huo Zhixing could finish speaking, Nie Xin had already started running.
Jiang Can smiled helplessly.
"Don't worry, honey, his visa has been extended," Huo Zhixing said softly.
"What?" Jiang Can was taken aback. "How did you know?"
Mr. Huo said smugly, "It was me who had it done for him!"
"So, he has more time to think carefully about whether or not he should help Sang Qing!"
President Huo smiled and nodded.
Before Jiang Can could even praise his efficiency, Nie Xin called.
"CanCan, what's going on? My agent told me I have to stay in England for another two months?!"
"Um...yes."
The actor's voice trembled with excitement: "My visa was supposed to be for only one month, but now it's been extended to three months?! If I don't return to Yangcheng for three months, don't produce any work, and have no exposure, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Jiang Can didn't know how to deal with him, so Huo Zhixing grabbed the phone.
"I've extended your stay, is there a problem?"
"..."
"Nie Xin, as your boss, of course I hope your acting skills can be further improved! So I enrolled you in two more courses at the drama academy, giving you two extra months. Study hard and hone your skills!"
"..."
"Don't worry," Huo Zhixing smiled, "Although you're a top influencer, there's a fundamental difference between you and other popular celebrities! Their popularity drops if they don't have exposure for a long time, but you're different! The more mysterious you remain, the more anxious your fans will be. Three months is the optimal period for their patience from a fan's perspective! Once three months are up and you return to Yangcheng, you'll find they're even more enthusiastic than before!"
"..."
Nie Xin's head was buzzing, and she took several deep breaths.
He couldn't beat Huo Zhixing at cards, and he couldn't argue with him either.
At this moment, he suddenly remembered the four words that Lu Lishan often gave to Huo Zhixing: "You son of a bitch!" So he secretly gave him those four words verbatim in his heart.
"Alright, you're an artist under the company, just follow the company's arrangements! Why all the nonsense?"
After saying that, Huo Zhixing hung up the phone.
Nie Xin stared dumbfounded at the blacked-out phone screen, then exploded: "Huo Zhixing, you're so arrogant, so powerful! You son of a bitch!"
His men from Southeast Asia were all confused, but they all rushed forward to stop him just as he was about to smash his phone.
"Young Master Xin, calm down, calm down!"
...
As soon as Sang Qing opened her eyes, she saw Jiang Can taking care of her.
She quickly stood up, "I can't accept this! Sister, you're pregnant, you don't need to take care of me!"
But because I got up a little too suddenly, I felt dizzy and almost fell back onto the bed.
Jiang Can placed a cushion behind her and gently helped her lean back.
"Are you feeling better now? I've had the kitchen heat up some milk and muffins; you can have some later."
Sang Qing looked at her with pleading eyes, like a pitiful kitten.
"You're here with me now, everything is in the past!" Jiang Can grasped her hand. "Luckily, Nie Xin found you with her men, otherwise..."
“Sister Jiang Can!” Sang Qing suddenly remembered something. “The man who arrested me, his name is James. He’s the one who collects protection money on that street. I know he works for a boss, but that boss also speaks Chinese, and his accent… sounds a lot like Brother Ye!”
"People from Yangcheng?" Jiang Can frowned.
“There was a woman with him!” Sang Qing’s voice trembled slightly. “I…I heard them say that they were going to launder money, and that woman even said that the Fu family would cover for them!”
"Sister, there's only one Fu family in Manchester, right?"
Jiang Can's heart tightened, and a bad premonition welled up inside her.
"What's the leader's name? Did you get a good look at what they look like?"
Sang Qing thought for a moment, then shook her head apologetically.
She remembered that the woman called out the boss's name, but she was too flustered to remember clearly.
As for her appearance, she was blindfolded and couldn't see it at all.
"Sister, am I...am I really useless?"
Jiang Can patted her head gently and said softly, "It's okay, don't worry about it. You should rest well, have a good meal, and then settle down here peacefully, okay?"
"Um."
Sang Qing nodded.
These past two days, she has been trying her best to recall every detail of being kidnapped to the eldest son's house, hoping it will help Jiang Can.
After all, this concerns the Fu family, so we can't be careless in the slightest.
Huo Zhixing also found it strange. Although the Fu family had a large business, they had never offended anyone in the area. How could they be involved in money laundering?
"Could it be that someone deliberately framed us?" Jiang Can asked.
Huo Zhixing frowned slightly. "What's the reason for framing us? My mother and grandfather are both passionate about charity and donate a lot of money to the Manchester charity every year. Even if someone doesn't like us, they wouldn't resort to such methods."
“Zhixing,” Jiang Can remembered something else, “Sang Qing said that the man also spoke Chinese, probably with a Yangcheng accent, and with a hoarse voice!”
"So investigate this man, and all the problems will be solved."
Huo Zhixing patted her big belly and smiled indulgently.
Originally, she was sent here to rest during her pregnancy, but I never expected that she would have to face so many things.
"I'll handle this. Don't worry about it," Huo Zhixing said in a deep voice. "Now that I'm further along in my pregnancy, we need to be extra careful with everything."
"What, are you worried about your son?" Jiang Can smiled playfully.
"I don't feel sorry for him, I feel sorry for you."
The baby kicked hard inside Jiang Can's belly, and Jiang Can cried out and bent over.
"It's all your fault, he heard you talking badly about him!"
"That bastard, just wait until he gets out, I'll teach him a lesson!"
"...He kicked again! Okay, stop talking!"
...
At the Fu Group's board meeting, Fu Xiuyu was discussing the annual plan for the media sector.
"Yufeng Media in Yangcheng is developing rapidly. If the new movie is co-produced with Fu's, the effect will definitely be better!"
Among the board members were former members of Sun Meifen's faction, who made disdainful and sarcastic remarks.
"Mr. Fu, I don't know where you get your confidence from, thinking that the audience will praise this kind of script?"
