Xie Sui had people watching both families. Liu Xuan was talented, and his boldness and insight in approaching Xie Sui alone were quite impressive.
Du Feiyang also admired the young man, seeing his ambition and believing he could be of assistance.
"Brother Xie, this way the Liu family will be in internal conflict, and something will quickly happen with the Meng family. When they are both in a panic, do they still dare to be arrogant? Liu Xuan is quite a good kid, I'll bring him along to have some fun later."
Xie Sui said, "No, keep your distance from him. Someone who can harm his own father and brother, do you think he'll be good to you? He's using you, and you're both getting what you need. He's fine as a partner, but not as a friend. When we deal with the Liu family in the future, if you're friends, how will you be able to act?"
Du Feiyang replied, "Brother Xie, isn't this enough? What else do you want to do to the Liu family?"
"Naturally, to bankrupt them. The ten major families of Hong Kong should have a new ranking."
Du Feiyang fell silent. Brother Xie's ambition was even greater than he had imagined.
"There's an awards ceremony in the next couple of days. Both previous films were huge hits. You and A Chao should go. Protect the actresses well, don't let anyone take advantage of them."
"Aren't you going?"
The entertainment company was finally showing signs of life. With the release of several films, the voices of those who were just watching from the sidelines gradually faded. Who said President Xie didn't understand movies? A newcomer director and newcomer actors had produced blockbusters, performing better than directors from the older generation. They won awards galore. What was even more commendable was that Xie Sui treated his artists very well, never resorting to casting couch tactics, and offering high profit-sharing percentages. Top stars even received a fifty percent split, a very high ratio at the time. For Guan Zhizhi, he directly gave seventy percent, meaning the company barely made any profit. Guan Zhizhi instantly became the envy of countless actresses. Married into a wealthy family and having such a good employer, she could choose her own movie scripts. She was truly a winner in life.
Because of the previous incident, Lin Wanwan had been hiding at home, unwilling to go out. It was alright if she suffered some grievances, but she was afraid of hurting the baby. Xie Sui also felt guilty and had almost moved the company to their home, staying with her and taking care of their two children to allow Lin Wanwan to rest better. These days, Lin Wanwan had recovered significantly. Hearing about the awards ceremony, she told Xie Sui to go with confidence, not to let her delay his normal work.
Xie Sui actually wanted to go, not to see beautiful women, but to poach the stars under Lin Tianxiang's banner. Xie Sui still remembered that man. Call him petty and vengeful, but Lin Tianxiang had been constantly causing trouble for him. If he couldn't completely crush him, Xie Sui would always bear a grudge.
"There will be so many beautiful women at the awards ceremony. Aren't you afraid they'll pounce on me? My small frame will be torn apart if they do."
"If they tear you apart, that's good. It'll let you know women can be terrifying too. Go, don't let me delay your important business."
"Alright, I'll go later. I'll say a few important things and come back."
"It's fine, I'm not a tigress who will strictly control you. Every time you go out, people look at me as if I'm leashing you."
"Am I a dog? That you have to leash me? What kind of analogy is that?"
Xie Sui's face darkened. What was he being compared to?
"Why are you angry? It's just a metaphor. Don't you want to be my little puppy?"
Xie Sui: "..." How could he answer this? In his previous life, many people referred to men as dogs, like "single dog," "little wolf dog," "little milk dog." It felt like men weren't even considered human. He disliked it. However, since his wife asked, Xie Sui no longer cared about his pride. "Then I'll be your most loyal little milk dog."
Lin Wanwan became happy. "I was just teasing you. How are you like a cute little milk dog?"
Seeing her happy, Xie Sui was also happy. What was a man's pride compared to his wife's happiness?
"I'll go pick up the children. What do you want to eat tonight? I can go after having dinner with you. These parties are just for drinking, not for eating much."
"I want to eat cornmeal pancakes."
Xie Sui sighed. Cornmeal wasn't rare here and could be bought, but it was mostly eaten by common people. In the past, they relied on cornmeal to survive due to poverty. Why would she want to eat this now? "Okay, I'll have someone buy it and make you pancakes."
A pregnant woman's tastes are fickle. Some people insist on eating coarse grain buns. He couldn't understand it, but they couldn't control themselves; they just wanted to eat them, and they would be miserable if they couldn't. When a woman is pregnant, it's not just her who suffers, but also the man. Xie Sui could only resign himself to serving her. After this baby is born, he'd insist on contraception. Lin Wanwan was fine, but he was going crazy. Forget about enjoying life; he was entirely serving the children.
