"Why are you glaring at me?" Jiang Can was both amused and exasperated by his expression.
"Can Can, you..."
He was halfway through his sentence when he hesitated, unsure how to continue. Should his tone be soft or firm? Should his attitude be assertive or did he try to negotiate?
How should I advise her tactfully, and how should I choose my words carefully...?
Huo Zhixing pouted, his already cold and stern face becoming even more gloomy.
"Okay, I know what you want to say." Jiang Can smiled, reached out her small hand and lightly intertwined her fingers with his, looking at him innocently.
"This is your mother's idea. She insists on signing Nie Xin to our company no matter what, no matter how harsh the conditions are, we have to agree to it."
"On what grounds?" Huo Zhixing suddenly raised his voice.
Jiang Can was stunned and stared at him blankly.
Huo Zhixing coughed twice, "What I mean is... there's more than one Best Actor in the entertainment industry, why does it have to be him?"
If possible, he desperately wanted to kick Nie Xin out of the entertainment industry!
"Yes, there are many award-winning actors, but he's the only one who has acting skills, generates buzz, has popularity, and a huge fan base!"
Huo Zhixing really wanted to roll his eyes.
"The predecessor of Yufeng Media was always lukewarm at best. Although it was backed by the Huo family, it never really took off," Jiang Can said softly. "The current Yufeng Media is just getting started, but it can't compete with the other entertainment companies that emerged around the same time..."
"Therefore, we really need a heavyweight figure to uphold the company's image!"
Huo Zhixing remained silent.
Jiang Can knew that he was angry, but he was holding back his anger.
"Zhixing," she said softly, "I only went to see Nie Xin to discuss work. You wouldn't be so petty, would you..."
She regretted it as soon as the words left her mouth.
What do you mean he's petty? Put yourself in his shoes. If Huo Zhixing told her now that he was going to meet Yao Manning for a meal and to discuss work tomorrow, she might be even more petty.
Moreover, she might get extremely jealous and might push him a couple of times or pinch him a few times.
But he could only keep his anger inside, and he couldn't even bring himself to say a few words to her.
Jiang Can smiled happily, snuggled into his arms, wrapped her little arms around him, and clung to him like an octopus, refusing to let go.
Huo Zhixing softens whenever she tries to cheat.
He reached out to poke her little head, but then, afraid of hurting her, he gently scratched her little nose instead.
"Don't worry, I'm not that petty." He smiled—the subtext being: You can go, but I'll have to send someone with you.
"Where to meet? I'll arrange it for you." — I need to know your whereabouts.
Jiang Can smiled and honestly gave him an address.
Why would they arrange to meet at the Minghuang Family Mansion?
Huo Zhixing nodded. Ha, he didn't even need to get involved himself.
"Don't worry, I'll inform the hotel manager and have him make the best arrangements." Huo Zhixing's lips curled up. "In any case, I also have shares in Yufeng Media, so I should do my part." — In short, if Nie Xin dares to plot anything, I will do everything I can to make him disappear from the entertainment industry.
Jiang Can looked at him with innocent eyes. At this moment, in her eyes, Huo Zhixing was elegant, cultured, knowledgeable, and broad-minded. He was not easily jealous, and when he was jealous, he would immediately regain his rationality. He gave her 100% trust and was simply a perfect man.
"Husband..." she said softly, "How can you be so good to me?"
He gently stroked her hair and chuckled softly.
"Didn't you always say I was Superman?"
"Yes, that's right."
"So when you have a request, Superman only has two words: 'That is...'"
He whispered in her ear in a low, husky voice, "Yes, ma'am."
...
Yao Manning returned to the Yao family home in a fit of rage.
As soon as she entered the door, she swung her high heels around, one in the front and one in the back.
The servants, seeing her pale face, dared not provoke her, but the old butler who had always taken care of her had to step forward and say, "Miss, a Miss Jiang has been waiting for you in the side hall for quite some time."
Miss Jiang?
Yao Manning was furious and had nowhere to vent her anger, so this was the perfect opportunity!
She strode into the side hall, pushed open the door, and slapped Jiang Yao across the face, leaving her dizzy and disoriented.
Although Jiang Yao's background was inferior to hers, she had never suffered such humiliation since childhood! She screamed and glared angrily at Yao Manning, "What are you doing?"
"Ha, I'd like to ask you what you're planning!" Yao Manning said arrogantly, pressing closer. "Jiang Yao, I'll give you a studio and fulfill all your demands. Do you think I'm a fool? I'm giving you all this in exchange for your information, not to listen to your nonsense!"
"I..." Jiang Yao looked bewildered. "What nonsense did I talk about?"
"Jiang Can clearly speaks French, and quite fluently at that!" Yao Manning roared, "But what have you been telling me!"
"No...no way!" Jiang Yao panicked. "I grew up with Jiang Can and we went to the same school. Her grades really do fluctuate a lot, they're not good!"
"Really?" Yao Manning gritted her teeth. "How did she do on the exam?"
"That's the strange thing!" Jiang Yao looked at her. "This little bitch, she's usually not much, but she gets all fired up during exams and knows everything!"
"you……"
Yao Manning was furious.
No wonder Jiang Mingyuan, even her own father looked down on her!
With a brain like that, it's hard to say how long the Jiang family will last if it falls into her hands!
"Miss Yao," Jiang Yao finally realized, "it didn't work out today?"
Yao Manning let out a long sigh. "Success? Ha," she sneered. "I've lost all face in front of everyone!"
She slowly walked to the sofa, sat down wearily, and put her feet up on the footstool.
She wanted to drink, but was too lazy to get it herself, so she asked Jiang Yao to do it.
Jiang Yao pouted. Although she was furious inside, she still had to be polite to her on the surface. After all, she would need Yao Manning's help to get rid of Jiang Can in the future!
"Miss Yao, you...you don't have to rush!" Jiang Yao's first plan failed, so she came up with another. "It's very simple to deal with that little bitch. Young Master Huo still has a card he hasn't played yet!"
"What?"
"Gu Mang!"
Yao Manning paused, then thought, "This might actually be a good idea..."
But she was also worried that bringing Gu Mang along might anger Huo Zhixing, and then the entire Huo family would dislike her.
"Let Gu Mang ruin Jiang Can, that's a good idea." Yao Manning smiled coldly.
She looked up and saw Jiang Yao, who was standing in front of her tremblingly. She gestured for Jiang Yao to squat down and massage her legs.
Where is Gu Mang?
“At my house,” Jiang Yao said with a smile. “The Second Master and the Eldest Young Master instructed us to find a safe place for Gu Mang, in case he needs it in the future!”
"Hmm." Yao Manning sneered, "Isn't this going to come in handy soon?"
