Tao Yuxuan knew that Shi Xi liked strawberry pudding, so she made some fruit pudding.
Besides strawberry pudding, I also made watermelon and peach pudding. All sorts of flavors, they look absolutely delicious.
After making the dessert, Tao Yuxuan delivered it to the two of them.
As soon as she reached the study door, she saw Shi Xi walking out dejectedly.
Tao Yuxuan sensed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your brother?"
Shi Xi nodded, then shook her head. "It wasn't an argument, I made him unhappy."
Tao Yuxuan comforted him, "He's just so self-righteous, don't take it to heart."
"Who are you calling arrogant?" Shi Xu came out of the study just in time to hear this.
Tao Yuxuan, holding the dessert, smiled awkwardly and said, "I... I said this dessert is really delicious, would you like to try some?"
"No need." Shi Xu looked at Shi Xi and said, "Think carefully about what I told you, and give me an answer when you've thought it through."
After saying that, Shi Xu went back to his room.
Looking at the closed door, Tao Yuxuan asked softly, "What did Shi Xu say to you?"
"It's nothing, let's have dessert first." Shi Xi sighed inwardly.
…
After eating the pudding, Shi Xi felt much better.
Back in her room to rest, Shi Xi received a call from Han Chuan.
Han Chuan cut to the chase: "President Shi just called me and said he's canceling all your schedules. Do you know why?"
Helpless, Shi Xi recounted the conversation she had just had with Shi Xu.
Han Chuan fell silent after hearing this, and after a long while, he said quietly, "So, you're retiring from the entertainment industry to go back and inherit the family fortune?"
Shi Xi hesitated, "But I don't want to work for the company!"
Han Chuan couldn't quite understand Shi Xi's feelings, nor could he comprehend them.
But this is not the time to talk about feelings.
Han Chuan asked, "So what do you want to do now?"
Shi Xi: "If I don't agree with my brother, can you still help me get more gigs?"
Han Chuan hesitated for a moment, "To be honest, President Shi is actually my direct superior."
Shi Xi felt utterly hopeless.
Han Chuan added, "However, you own shares in Quick Snow and are also part of Quick Snow's management team."
“But my brother has more power than me.”
Shi Xi was upset and confused.
On the one hand, she didn't want to stray too far from the storyline and wanted to survive independently on her own.
On the other hand, Shi Xi also knew that the plot had been changed. Even if she lived a life of idleness and idleness, she would not suffer the same fate as in the original story.
Han Chuan added, "Actually, there's something else I wanted to tell you when I called."
Shi Xi asked, "What's wrong?"
Han Chuan: "Pei Kai is unavailable."
Pei Kai will still play the male lead in "Genki Girl 2". If he is unavailable, the production team cannot start filming.
Shi Xi asked in confusion, "Didn't they say the production team was all set and just waiting for me to join?"
"So that's how it is," Han Chuan said. "But since you haven't come back for a long time, Pei Kai's job can't be left empty, so we got him a new drama role."
Shi Xi: "..."
"Also," Han Chuan added, "Lou Ruicong broke his ribs while skiing the day before yesterday and was hospitalized. He'll probably be bedridden for a month or two."
Misfortunes never come singly; they add insult to injury.
Shi Xi said with a headache, "Does that mean that 'Energetic Girl 2' can't start filming?"
Han Chuan nodded, "Yes."
Now we have to wait for the male lead and the male supporting character.
"Or, let Pei Kai film multiple projects simultaneously," Han Chuan suggested.

"Simultaneous filming" refers to an artist taking on multiple projects at the same time. This involves finishing filming one project on one set and then rushing to another to film a different project on another set.
