Xu Tingchuan held meetings for several hours before finally bringing the work to a temporary close.
He had truly underestimated Li Rui. He had thought that after being beaten and bedridden for months, Li Rui would finally calm down, but it turned out he had been scheming all along. From Xu Jiayue's background to his company's important projects, Li Rui's meticulous planning and composure were truly remarkable.
The plan was well-thought-out; they wanted to unleash these events once he was in trouble. Unfortunately, Li Rui overestimated himself.
He and Shen Muzhi are both safe now, and Li Rui's previous petty actions can only pose some obstacles.
Aside from Jia Yue's matter...
Xu Tingchuan frowned as he thought of this; this was the most troublesome matter.
He wasn't sure what Jia Yue was really thinking.
Just then, his phone rang. He glanced at it and saw it was Ni Sitian calling, so he answered it.
After finishing the phone call with Ni Sitian, I got up and left the office.
When he walked out of the building, all the lights were already on in every home, so he drove straight home.
Ni Sitian had prepared a table full of dishes, and after reheating them a second time, Xu Tingchuan opened the door and entered the house.
She went up to him, took his briefcase, and asked, "Why are you working overtime on a Saturday?"
"I'm busy with a project." Xu Tingchuan casually brushed aside the trouble he had encountered, took off his coat and hung it up, unbuttoned his shirt cuffs, washed his hands, and sat down at the dining table.
Ni Sitian handed him a bowl and chopsticks, served him soup, and then sat down herself.
"If I'm not back in the future, you should eat first, don't wait until I'm starving." Xu Tingchuan had told her this many times, but she hadn't changed her ways unless he told her in advance that he wouldn't be back until very late.
"I enjoy eating with you." Ni Sitian smiled, pursed her lips, and picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs for him, asking, "Did you go see Jiayue this afternoon?"
Xu Tingchuan shook his head and said, "I only went to Pei Yang's place to confirm that she was there, but I didn't see her."
"It's good to let her calm down and think it over." Ni Sitian felt that if this happened to her, she probably wouldn't be able to handle it at all. On one side are her biological parents, and on the other side are her adoptive parents who raised her for many years, with such hatred mixed in. If it were her, she probably would go crazy.
Xu Tingchuan lowered his head and ate in silence.
"I received a notice from Producer Chen that I have to leave with the crew on the 2nd. The crew will be filming there for about two months, and I will stay for at least a month." When Ni Sitian said this, she was afraid that Xu Tingchuan would not agree. After all, they had just encountered danger, and he was keeping a close eye on her now, so she was a little cautious.
"Yes, work is more important." Xu Tingchuan didn't object. He himself had two tough battles to fight, and he was afraid that if he left Ni Sitian behind, she would worry and not be able to sleep.
Ni Sitian was surprised that things went so smoothly and happily put another piece of meat on Xu Tingchuan's plate.
"I'll arrange for someone to go with you." Although Xu Tingchuan wanted to keep Ni Sitian away for a while, he was still worried about her going so far alone.
"I'm going with the crew, is it really appropriate to bring someone along?" Ni Sitian said timidly.
"It won't take up any of your crew's resources, it's just to protect you. It won't be anything special, you can just treat it as an assistant." Xu Tingchuan already had someone in mind, thinking of calling Shen Muzhi later to ask for a secondment.
Having heard him put it this way, Ni Sitian naturally couldn't object, so she nodded and continued eating.
The only slight regret is that she couldn't be with him on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the day they got their marriage certificate.
