Chapter 56
After discussing the actors, they moved on to the singers.
Zhao Xinyu habitually tapped the table with her fingers. She had interviewed original singers. They should be working on compositions now. “Let’s talk about the singers. One by one.”
Agent Han Li: “Xun Xin is the best among the originals. I reviewed her work, and we can select two songs for her debut. For the other singers, my plan is to find professional writers.”
“Mhm. Have Xun Xin record her songs and send them to me. You must supervise their first work carefully!”
“Yes, Ms. Zhao!”
“Have the PR department on standby. I’ll await your good news.”
“Okay.”
Zhao Xinyu left the conference room and went straight back to the office. After the first test run, purchasing stocks and products has entered a normal fluctuation cycle. This Thursday and Friday should see another wave of product increases. If all goes well, she should earn at least 30 million more.
At noon, Sun Qianyi went to the studio and informed Cai Luo about her plans to prepare for pregnancy. The studio’s focus will now be primarily on the artists. She will temporarily stop taking on commercial performances and ads.
Having a child is no small matter. As an Alpha, she can feel how happy Zhao Xinyu will be, but she can’t fully relate to Sun Qianyi’s feelings. She asked Sun Qianyi seriously, “Are you truly sure?”
Looking at Cai Luo without hesitation, Sun Qianyi replied, “I’ve thought it through. I want to have a child with Xinyu.”
“Since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t say much else. If Zhao Xinyu ever treats you badly, you must come and tell me. I’ll beat her to death!”
Haha~ Ha~ Haha~ Sun Qianyi laughed. She knows Cai Luo cares about her. “Don’t worry. I trust Xinyu. She treats me very well.”
“That’s best. Then I’ll owe her fewer meals of crawfish.”
…
Zhao Xinyu took Sun Qianyi home in the evening. She discussed her plan with her parents. She wants to gain control of the Lin family’s lifeline. That way, if Lin Fanchen jumps the gun, she can stop him immediately.
Zhao Haizhou: “The manufacturers are all gathered by the Lin family now. If you want to seize control of his lifeline, there is only one option.”
Zhao Xinyu smiled and said, “Find another manufacturer that does quality work and intensely dislikes the Lin family, then finance them.”
Zhao Haizhou: “Hahaha~ Exactly. Finding the manufacturer is the primary step. Don’t look in A City. It would be best if we could turn that manufacturer directly into a Zhao family asset.”
“Pffft, Dad, you agree?!”
“Why wouldn’t I agree? That Lin family son is despicable and dared to insult my daughter! I won’t tolerate that!”
“Dad is the best~”
Ming Wenxin: “Ahem, am I not good?”
“…You’re both good, both good.” Zhao Xinyu buttered her up. She must treat Ming Wenxin well!
After Lu Qing returned, she messaged her friends, asking them to monitor Lin Fanchen’s whereabouts. If they had any news, they should message her immediately.
On the evening two days later, Lu Qing received a message from a friend saying Lin Fanchen went to a bar after having dinner with a collaborator at a hotel. She sent the friend a 20,000 yuan red envelope and set off for the bar.
She waited until 11:58 PM to see Lin Fanchen and a few others come out. Once everyone dispersed, Lu Qing instructed her bodyguards to beat up the dog Lin: “The other places don’t matter. The most important thing is not to forget to hit his face!”
“Yes, Miss!”
“Hurry, hurry!”
Lin Fanchen was waiting for the designated driver when two high-grade Alpha men suddenly appeared. They were wearing masks! They dragged him into an alley and immediately started beating him up without a word…
Damn it! Which shameless person hired people to beat him up! “Whose men are you? Don’t you know who I am!”
The bodyguard saw he could still speak fluently. Thinking he didn’t hit him hard enough, he punched Lin Fanchen’s face a few more times. Following Miss Lu’s instructions, he took two photos and then left.
Lin Fanchen: Damn it, no sportsmanship!!!
(Lu Qing: Do you deserve to talk about sportsmanship?)
Watching the bodyguard walk back, he handed her the phone directly. Lu Qing glanced at the photos. Hahahahahaha~ I can’t look. Oh dear, a beautiful picture of a bruised and swollen face!
She praised the bodyguard: “Well done!” She then forwarded the photos to Zhao Xinyu with a message: Don’t bother praising me. Just consider it my thank-you gift for buying that set of jewelry.
“Thank you for the compliment, Miss.”
“…Let’s go. Time to head home. I need to rest.”
“Yes.”
When she saw the message, Zhao Xinyu had just come out of the bathroom with the person who had showered…
Zhao Xinyu: Thank you, good brother. I will frequent your store more often.
Lu Qing: Why did you reply so fast?!
Zhao Xinyu: You guess~
Lu Qing: …Get lost. (I’m out here helping you teach that scumbag a lesson, and you’re at home…!)
The next day was Friday. Zhao Xinyu felt it was a little coincidental. She sold her products on Friday last time, and it’s Friday again this time. This time, Zhao Xinyu sold a few more products, earning a net profit of over 40 million. It was also time for the one-month period she discussed with the original owner’s parents and Zhao Xuan to end. It’s time for her to go home again.
At 3:40 PM, Zhao Xinyu messaged Sun Qianyi, informing her to come home that evening. She had something important to discuss.
Sun Qianyi’s matters were already arranged. She had nothing urgent to do, so she messaged Xinyu back: If you’re not busy, come pick me up now. I don’t have much to do, so we can go home early.
Zhao Xinyu: Okay. I’m coming over now.
After instructing Qin Langning to tidy up, she left the company first.
When she arrived home, Zhao Xuan wasn’t back yet. She first chatted with Zhao Haizhou and Ming Wenxin, briefly explaining her plan. She showed them the transaction records on her phone and the bank account transfer details. Zhao Haizhou’s understanding of the stock market is still rudimentary. Zhao Xinyu couldn’t explain it all clearly right away, so showing the account balance was the simplest way!
Zhao Haizhou: “Our family’s public welfare organization is run in conjunction with national officials. Xinyu, I fully support you using part of the money earned from the stock market for public welfare. However, you need to remain discreet for now. I’ll have the organization send someone to contact you. You can engage with them first and then commit to public welfare.”
This aligns closely with Zhao Xinyu’s plan. It definitely wouldn’t be good for her to step into the limelight immediately. “Dad is right. We’ll proceed as you suggested.”
“Mhm. You need to attend major public welfare sponsorships in person.”
“Okay, I understand~”
“Mhm mhm, alright. Come help me play two rounds of Canyon. I’ve already lost 10 games in a row!”
The sudden shift in topic was a bit much for Zhao Xinyu to adapt to! “…”
Ming Wenxin: “Xinyu, have you considered having a child with Qianyi yet?”
“Mom… Xinyu and I are considering it.” The question was a little too direct. Sun Qianyi wasn’t sure how to answer.
Hearing they were considering having a child, Ming Wenxin was overjoyed. It seems she’ll be holding a grandchild soon. “You must inform us immediately when you get pregnant. Be very careful during the first three months of pregnancy. Because Xinyu was the second born, I paid attention to everything during my pregnancy…”
Mother said a lot, and Sun Qianyi quietly took notes. She’s been using the pregnancy test sticks these past few days. It’s truly up to fate when she conceives. She can’t be sure.
After Zhao Xuan returned, they chatted for a while longer. Zhao Xinyu then discovered that Zhao Xuan had been quietly coordinating with the public welfare organization on charitable matters.
It felt like unlocking a new area after completing a level in a video game. Zhao Xinyu suddenly found it very interesting.
After dinner, Zhao Xinyu took Sun Qianyi back to their current residence. Because the movie was premiering the next day, Saturday, Zhao Xinyu needed to be at the company early in the morning to handle work.
These past few days, Xinyu has been busy until late every night. She clearly understands Xinyu’s hard work. But she doesn’t know what she can do to help Xinyu.
Because she’s preparing for pregnancy, her own work is very light now. It’s not like before when she took on commercial performances and had to choreograph and practice dancing all day.
Right now, the only thing she feels she can do is have a child that belongs to her and Xinyu.
Seeing Xinyu lie down on the bed, she leaned over and hugged her. “The movie is premiering tomorrow. Will you still be busy?”
“Mhm.” That’s right. The first screening of the movie is tomorrow night. The trailer promotion was very effective. Now, it depends on the audience’s acceptance and satisfaction. If people like the movie, the PR department only needs to cooperate with the general public opinion and do some minor promotion.
“You’ve worked hard~”
Zhao Xinyu stroked Sun Qianyi’s soft hair, her lips curved in a silent, doting smile. “I haven’t worked hard. The company employees and I worked on it together. Do you want to watch the movie?”
Watch the movie? Seeing how intense Xinyu has been these past few days, she hadn’t thought about watching the movie. “Sure~ I’ll call Cai Luo to go with me tomorrow.”
“Hahaha~ I doubt you can buy tickets now. If you want to watch it, come to the company with me tomorrow. I have a backup copy on my computer.” Projecting it onto the wall and watching it won’t be much different from watching it in a cinema. It’s a perfect opportunity for Qianyi to keep me company.
I didn’t realize the tickets were sold out! I haven’t even watched it yet! “Then I’ll go to the company with you tomorrow.”
“Okay~”
Sun Qianyi turned over, held Xinyu’s hand, closed her eyes, and kissed Xinyu’s lips.
Zhao Xinyu wrapped her arms around Sun Qianyi’s waist. Their bodies were almost pressed together. The fresh tea scent on Sun Qianyi was very tempting. Her breathing became hot. She returned Sun Qianyi’s kiss, sucking on Qianyi’s soft tongue, making her tremble slightly.
Tears welled up in Qianyi’s beautiful eyes. The flush on her cheeks warmed Zhao Xinyu’s entire heart. She gently cupped Sun Qianyi’s face, leading the kiss, taking in Sun Qianyi’s scent.
…
The next day, Zhao Xinyu brought Sun Qianyi to the company around 7 AM. The company employees were shocked. They felt CEO Zhao’s seriousness regarding the movie premiere.
At the same time, they are also very confident!
The internal employees of the company created a small group chat, dedicated to shipping CEO Zhao and CEO Zhao’s wife. Seeing Madam and CEO Zhao come in together so early made everyone restless.
(After many days, seeing Madam and CEO Zhao together again. That stunning beauty means I can eat an extra bowl of rice at lunch!)
(…I’m just purely shipping them. I found many pictures of Madam online and saved them all.)
(Same here. It’s absolutely amazing~)
(Same here. And dance videos too!)
…
Sun Qianyi felt coming in so early was an unwise decision. She could have totally come after lunch! “Xinyu, I want to rest now. I feel so tired…”
“The room inside is my lounge. Go in and rest for a bit.” The lounge was only just finished these past two days. The bedding was chosen based on the style Qianyi picked during their shopping trip.
“Okay, I’ll go rest now~”
“Mhm, go ahead~”
Author’s Note:
Zhao Xinyu: I don’t mind those few meals of crawfish.
Cai Luo: Alright then, you have to buy me all the crawfish I want!
Lu Qing: I’m out here beating up scumbags, and you’re…
Zhao Xinyu: This is truly natural human emotion… (I can’t make up any more excuses)
