Because Xu Fan was certain that he could handle it well for himself.

Now Xu Fan finally understood why Xu Yixue cared so much about Xinghai Media, facing even the Heishui Investigation Company head-on. It turned out it wasn’t just about preserving the family business; she had also staked both herself and Tongtong in this bet.

Originally, Xu Fan had ignored the Xu Family, not bothering with them; if they made trouble, he wasn’t afraid. Let them come to Zhonghai and stir up trouble; Xu Fan wasn’t the least bit intimidated.

But now the situation had changed. Xu Fan still didn’t take the Xu Family seriously, but after all, Xu Yixue came from the Xu Family and had an agreement with them. If they fell out completely over this, it would be harmful to both Xu Yixue and her family members.

Therefore, Xu Fan could only play by their rules, putting a lot of effort into the bet. As long as he won the bet, the Xu Family would naturally shut up.

With this thought, Xu Fan’s eyebrows relaxed, and he said with a light and breezy tone, “Doubling the profits of Xinghai Media is no problem with me here.”

“Don’t underestimate this matter,” warned Xu Yixue, gathering her hair at the side of her face and pursing her lips.

“Although Shi Yu is a top-tier actress, she has been out of the limelight for several years. Even though she still has many loyal fans, it still takes time and outstanding work to completely restore her popularity. The company might use Shi Yu to gain fame, but that won’t immediately reflect in the profits. Wanting to double it within six months, there’s still a long way to go,” Xu Yixue reminded.

Xu Fan was reminded of the recent mass resignations at Xinghai Media and the exodus of artists, which must have had a significant impact on Xinghai Media. Chen Shiyu must have been invited by her to take charge. So this was her backup plan.

With Chen Shiyu’s participation, Xinghai Media’s fame shot up, which also helped to stabilize morale among the ranks.

So, Xu Yixue was actually quite strategic. No wonder she could lead a listed company at such a young age. She truly had exceptional capability and unique insights.

Feeling her presence acknowledged, Chen Shiyu busily assumed responsibility, “Xue’er, don’t worry. Since I’m making a comeback, I’ll give it my all to help you, not just for you but also for myself. Rest well today, and we can hold a press conference tomorrow afternoon to formally sign with Xinghai Media. From now on, I’ll leave all my arrangements to you. Oh, and that new song I’ve been planning for a long time can also start recording. I’ve poured a lot of effort into it and have full confidence it’ll be a hit and soar in popularity. We’ll first earn a wave of popularity.”

Deeply moved, Xu Yixue couldn’t help but say, “Shi Yu, I’ve wronged you this time. But I believe that one day Xinghai Media will be able to accommodate a great Buddha like you.”

Chen Shiyu rolled her eyes in feigned annoyance and said unhappily, “Xue’er, if you keep acting so formal, I might just change my mind.”

“Alright, my mistake,” Xu Yixue admitted.

Chen Shiyu immediately flashed a graceful smile, “Just scaring you, you know. How could I be capricious at such a critical juncture? Besides, I indeed want to make a comeback. Many top entertainment companies have been contacting me, but it doesn’t matter where I go since I’m not lacking money.”

“Well, welcome aboard,” Xu Yixue joked.

“I don’t have a choice. Among all the companies, only you won’t take advantage of me,” sighed Chen Shiyu, pretending to be very helpless. She combed through her hair with her fingers, showing the classic smile of a goddess, “They say beauty is a curse; I’m just too beautiful, and that always brings so many troubles around me.”

“Hee hee!”

Xu Yixue laughed, hugged her by the shoulders, and lightly sniffed her neck, her face filled with bashful affection.

In fact, Xu Yixue understood right away. Although she hadn’t set foot in the entertainment circle, her family business had always involved this field, so she was no stranger to the industry and knew that it was fraught with many messy dealings.

Of course, to the average person, they only see the glamorous side of celebrities and know very little about the hard work, compromises, and concessions they make behind the scenes.

However, as time passed, the rise of paparazzi began exposing many scandals within the entertainment circle.

The public then realized that many of the pure and beautiful female stars had actually had to deal with hidden rules to get to where they were, and that many of the top figures in control of the entertainment resources, seemingly upright, were in fact heartless, educated thugs dressed in sheep’s clothing.

As Chen Shiyu’s close friend, Xu Yixue knew her situation very well.

In short, Chen Shiyu’s success was solely due to her innate talent and diligence. If she had been willing to compromise, she wouldn’t have receded from the limelight for five years and would likely already be a household name, hugely famous.

But even so, there are always many ill-intentioned people in the world who constantly spread harmful rumors about her.

There were also many who lusted after Chen Shiyu, hoping to score with her, but they were wary of the family she came from, otherwise Chen Shiyu’s troubles would have far exceeded her complaints.

Chen Shiyu had been in retreat for so many years, in part due to fear of this aspect.

After all, even Xu Yixue was facing a forced marriage from her family; her family wasn’t a behemoth, and there were times when they felt powerless against the big figures in the entertainment industry.

With this in mind, Xu Yixue stroked Chen Shiyu with some sympathy, “Shi Yu, with me here, I’ll never let you suffer in that way.”

“Humph, otherwise I wouldn’t have come to you so eagerly,” Chen Shiyu reached toward Xu Yixue’s flat belly, pretending to be lecherous, “Xue’er, if we join forces, we can definitely make a name for ourselves in the entertainment industry and prove ourselves.”

“Okay, then let’s work hard together!” Xu Yixue’s heart pounded excitedly at the thought of her dreams.

“Xue’er.”

“What’s up!”

“I want to kiss you.”

“What?”

“Just kidding!”

“Damn it, if the demon dares to take liberties with me, I’ll take them right back.”

The two women quickly became entangled with each other, amid cheerful laughter and a spring-like atmosphere, and for a moment, Xu Fan saw an expanse of white and his head spun.

“Alright, that’s enough, you must be tired today, I will definitely take good care of you tonight,” said Xu Yixue, panting with a flushed face.

“Yeah!” Chen Shiyu said dominantly, lifting her chin with her hand, “I shall cherish you as well.”

Then, the two women, holding hands and swaying their hips, went back to their room, while Ye Xiaoning made a face at Xu Fan before she too returned to her room.

Xu Fan sank into the sofa, feeling the residual warmth left by the two women, inhaling the pleasant fragrance, and felt somewhat lightheaded.

Perhaps, the life of an ordinary person is also beautiful.

However, after learning about Xu Yixue’s bet with the Xu family, Xu Fan felt he couldn’t just stand by and do nothing.

He had grown accustomed to the presence of Xu Yixue and didn’t want to see her get hurt.

After pondering for a long time, he finally made a decision.

Xu Fan, thinking of Xu Yixue and Tongtong’s smiles, couldn’t help but smile as he fell into a deep sleep with a contented expression.

That night, he didn’t want to practice cultivation at all; he just wanted to completely relax his mind, have a pleasant dream, dreaming of Tongtong’s mother!

With his ability, suggesting such a dream to himself was easy as pie.
