"Do you know that arrogant young man?" Tao Boli asked.
“Yu Xiangming is the heir apparent of Tianyu Media,” Shi Xi explained. “He’s currently filming a movie with me.”
Tao Boli noted down the name and then asked carefully, "Have you often encountered this kind of thing before?"
Shi Xi smiled faintly, "There are those who openly or secretly want to take advantage of others. But he's the first one to be so arrogant."
Tao Boli breathed a sigh of relief. "In the future, if you encounter any problems that you can't solve, come to me."
"Okay," Shi Xi agreed, then asked, "Are you being so nice to me because of Rui An's orders?"
Tao Boli was slightly taken aback, then said, "Before I returned to my country, the eldest prince did indeed instruct me to take good care of you."
Shi Xi sighed, "You're so good to Rui'an. When I was in the palace, I heard the maids gossiping that you wanted to be the Queen's favorite husband, which is why you're so devoted to Rui'an."
Tao Boli: ...
Shi Xi, thinking that Tao Boli was getting old, quickly added, "It's just gossip. Now that you're back in China, they'll definitely know it's not like that."
Tao Boli explained, "I have always assisted the eldest prince and am not actually familiar with the queen."
Shi Xi nodded, thinking about the gossip that would probably be circulating in the palace now: the Queen loved Mr. Tao but could not have him, so she banished him from the palace.
After finishing his meal, Tao Boli wanted to take Shi Xi home.
"No need, my driver is waiting for me downstairs." Shi Xi declined gracefully, saying, "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Tao. I'll treat you next time."
“We’re so familiar with each other. When you got married, I even walked you down the aisle with flowers on the path. There’s no need to be so distant,” Tao Boli said slowly.
"Then, Uncle Tao?" Shi Xi asked tentatively.
Tao Boli initially wanted Shi Xi to call him "Dad" directly, but after thinking it over, he said in a calm tone, "I don't have any children. When I saw you off on your wedding day, I already considered you my daughter. If you don't mind, you can be my goddaughter from now on, okay?"
Shi Xi looked conflicted. "Ah, I still need to discuss this with my parents."
Tao Boli nodded, "I was too radical, I'm sorry."
"It's nothing." Shi Xi said goodbye, "Then I'll be going now. Goodbye, Uncle Tao."
Tao Boli saw Shi Xi into the car before getting into his own.
As the car started, Tao Boli coldly ordered, "Stop all of Yu Xiangming's work and place him on indefinite leave without pay. Do the same for the vice president."
He needs to deal with each of the people who came today.
Assistant: "Yes."
The world has changed.

After returning home, Shi Xi simplified the situation and told Xie Yunzhou about it.
Shi Xi omitted what the vice president and the others said.
The main point is that Tao Boli acquired Tianyu Media.
"Tianyu Media?" Xie Yunzhou had never been involved in the entertainment industry before, but since getting together with Shi Xi, he had paid more attention to it. "It's a big company, how could it change hands so quickly?"
“Yes! I didn’t expect him to acquire Tianyu Media either.” Shi Xi asked, “How much do you think he spent?”
“To acquire Tianyu Media, you need more than just money; you also need power,” Xie Yunzhou guessed. “He must know quite a few people.”
Shi Xi nodded. "He looks very capable."
Having held a high position for a long time, his every move exudes composure.
envious.
"Praising other men like this in front of me? Aren't you afraid I'll get angry?" Xie Yunzhou pinched the girl's cheek.
“He’s over forty years old; it’s only right that he’s achieved success and fame,” Shi Xi said seriously.
