Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Lacking Men

“I… I can do it!”

She just didn’t believe it; couldn’t she lose ten pounds without eating and drinking?

“Because my film also has martial arts content, you’ll need to start training early. I know some martial arts instructors and I’ll introduce them to you to help you learn those moves. Are you available? You know, I have quite some money myself, so I don’t need to pull in investments everywhere, plus I have my own team, so the preparation time will be much shorter. If you’re willing to accept, I’ll sign a contract with you later on. Given your current popularity, riding the wave of this variety show could be beneficial too, but it depends on how your agency arranges things. Also, I have a suggestion for you…”

“What is it?”

Mao Ziyang asked persistently.

She was beginning to feel uneasy inside.

She could really earn a lot now, but she had no signature work to her name. It would be easy for her to be a flash in the pan in the entertainment circle. If she could film Director Mu’s movie, even if it were a horror film, she would be the female lead.

Relying on Director Mu’s popularity.

Along with his filming techniques and his ability to train actors.

She was sure to have a representative work and her acting skills would definitely improve, as would her status!

But the company might not be willing.

Because she only had a one-year contract with the company now.

Director Mu’s movie would take at least a year to finish. The company could sense that she didn’t want to renew the contract and certainly wouldn’t consider her future.

“I suggest you consider signing with Dan Heng Entertainment. If you signed with Dan Heng Entertainment, they would certainly make time for you to shoot films and let you stay with the team without exhausting you.”

“But… Dan Heng Entertainment… is hard to get into.”

Mao Ziyang naturally understood.

Dan Heng Entertainment was a good company, but they were very strict about signing artists.

“I have already talked with the head of Dan Heng Entertainment. They will arrange for someone to look for you soon, so just keep an eye out for it.”

“Really, really?”

Mao Ziyang felt like she had been hit with multiple pies falling from the sky.

“Yes.” Mu Ran nodded.

“I…” Mao Ziyang was at a loss for words.

Mu Ran saw her like this and said nothing more, just opened his phone, letting her calm down.

When she looked at the phone, she found that Xiao Yu’an had contacted her.

Asking if they could have a meal together.

Mu Ran: “Get lost!”

Xiao Yu’an, who had been staring at his phone tirelessly from last night until noon today, finally saw this precious reply.

Get lost!

Xiao Yu’an thought about his previous refusals, lowered his head, and apologized, “It was due to personal issues before that I didn’t have time for a meal, can I treat you this time as compensation?”

Mu Ran: “No need, I don’t lack a meal.”

Xiao Yu’an: “Then I’ll treat you to some drinks.”

Mu Ran: “I don’t lack a bottle of wine either.”

Xiao Yu’an: “What do you lack then?”

Mu Ran hesitated, thinking if she said she lacked a man now, would it make her seem perverted.

Better not.

“A man!”

If it’s perverted, so be it. What’s wrong with that?

Back then she was captivated by his face, and now she wanted his body too. Lust is natural; there’s nothing wrong with that.

Xiao Yu’an fell silent.

His fingers hovered over the phone screen.

Finding it hard to press the button.

She truly was a shameless woman, trying every way to get a man!

This is too much!!!

“Forget it then.”

Mu Ran: “Hmph.”

Xiao Yu’an: “Why are you laughing?”

Mu Ran: “Nothing, just laughing at myself.”

She surely hadn’t dated in 23 years, that’s why she craved a man so much. When she returned to Hai City, she’d visit Dan Heng Entertainment to see if there were any handsome young guys to have fun with.

So she wouldn’t be led by the nose by him.

Xiao Yu’an looked at the darkened phone screen.

He kind of regretted it!

It’s just a kiss; he wouldn’t lose out, and maybe he’d get familiar with Mu Ran quickly, and then meet Xiao Jin.

He had to ensure the child’s safety.

“Xiao Yu’an, are you in the dorm? There’s a package for you.”

A classmate knocked at the door.

Xiao Yu’an opened the door, took the package, and thanked them.

Inside the package, there were photos tracking his activities at school, like the sender wanted to tell him, all your actions are within my sight!

And the last photo was of a pool of blood.

A very obvious threat.

Xiao Yu’an stared at the photo, which was plainly the work of the original host’s brother.

Only he would be so childish!

Before, he couldn’t even be bothered to deal with Xiao Baocang, even if he was an illegitimate child, even if he would inherit the Xiao Family’s property, it didn’t matter, because he wasn’t the original host.

But now…

He had made a move on him.

When he had nothing to do, he could tolerate it a bit; now he wanted to learn business, and he got scared.

Want to kill him?

Xiao Baocang wasn’t even qualified!

Xiao Yu’an wasn’t particularly gifted in business, but the IQ of a War God couldn’t be low, could it? As long as he wanted to learn, mastering a skill was a breeze.

Moreover, a key aspect of doing business is leadership.

He led thousands of troops to win every battle.

To him, the Xiao Family’s fortune was merely a rich family’s assets, insignificant compared to his wealth in Daqi.

That’s why he didn’t care about the Xiao Family.

His money once supported thousands of troops, protected the nation!

He only wanted the people to live in peace and prosperity.

And now, it’s the same.

It’s just that someone didn’t know to stay in line and sought trouble.

Then don’t blame him!

Xiao Yu’an’s eyes flashed coldly, and the fragile photograph was instantly destroyed.

Leaving a pile of debris.

*

Xiao Baocang was working diligently in the Xiao Family when someone suddenly informed him.

Several of the businesses he secretly ran had been shut down.

“How could that be? We didn’t do anything wrong!”

“That’s just the way it is, we can’t figure it out either. Maybe you should come and take a look, otherwise, we’re going to lose a lot of money!”

“Alright, I’m heading over right away!”

Xiao Baocang arrived at the entrance of the club while still on the phone with a friend: “Can you help me find out why suddenly someone is investigating?”

“I already started looking into it when I got the news. I heard someone directly submitted evidence, and the matter has reached Mr. Xiao’s ears, who said he wouldn’t intervene.”

“Damn it!”

Xiao Baocang’s eyes were filled with malice.

Even as an illegitimate child, he was still a child of the Xiao Family.

Did that old man think that now that Xiao Yu’an is starting to learn business, he’d actually learn it?

Or did he think he was better than him!

He had been with the company for so long, managed so many projects, and never once had he been praised!

Is bloodline really that important?

If it truly was, then he would make Mr. Xiao beg him to inherit this vast fortune!

Because Xiao Yu’an must die!

If he doesn’t die once, then try twice.

One day, he will send Xiao Yu’an into the Eighteen Layers of Hell!!!
