MTL - The Actress is My Favorite-Chapter 9
Just kidding, neither Xia Shutong nor Qian Lingling thought that Yun Feiwu would come to Wutong.
Although Wutong can be regarded as a leader in the industry, in the film industry, he is at best a newborn baby. Although Yun Feiwu occasionally makes TV dramas, he mainly develops in movies, so there is no need to come to their company to try and make mistakes.
And now there is only one week before Yun Feiwu terminates the contract. If she decides to leave the original company, she must have already negotiated with the next company.
However, Wutong has not received any news for the time being. Of course, Yun Feiwu's new company cannot be Wutong.
Xia Shutong felt inexplicably regretful.
It seems that since the first time she saw Yun Feiwu on TV, she was attracted by her appearance and temperament, wanted to know her better, wanted her to come to her company, wanted to know her and get close to her.
…why?
Xia Shutong checked, and she and Yun Feiwu did, as Qian Lingling said, have no intersection - not even business cooperation.
In the end Xia Shutong could only attribute it to the charm of this little actress.
Xia Shutong originally wanted to stay at home for a while and return to the company after she had a thorough understanding, but her father Xia Hongtao suddenly returned to Tianjun at this time, and Xia Shutong also had to bite the bullet and go back to face him.
After Mr. Xia retired, Xia Hongtao had been the president of Tianjun until he suffered a serious illness three years ago. He was bedridden for only three months, and the company was almost taken over by Xia Shutong.
And Mr. Xia also clearly stood on Xia Shutong's side, directly asking Xia Hongtao to give up his real power, and only kept part of the shares in his hand.
In the past three years, with the "care" of Mr. Xia, Xia Hongtao had never set foot in Tianjun. Now that he returned to the company, it was obvious that he had Mr. Xia's approval.
Xia Shutong's mind turned quickly, and she realized almost immediately that Mr. Xia was urging her to go back and manage the company.
Wutong Pictures belonged to Xia Shutong, but Tianjun Media was founded by Mr. Xia alone.
Xia Shutong rested for nearly a week, and Tianjun had no leader this week. Although it was still operating normally, Mr. Xia couldn't stand it any longer.
Xia Shutong didn't remember what kind of person Mr. Xia was, but after reading the materials for so many days, she vaguely guessed something.
Xia Cha is a shrewd, cold-blooded businessman. He doesn't value blood relationship, nor does he care about the gender of the heir. The only thing he cares about is the ability of the heir.
Xia Hongtao is Xia Cha's only son, but he is really... a little helpless. That's why Xia Cha strongly supported Xia Shutong, and kicked Xia Hongtao out of the company after Xia Shutong grew up.
But now, Xia Shutong had a car accident and might not be able to continue managing the company, so Xia Cha brought his son out again.
—Since you, Xia Shutong, can't do it, let Xia Hongtao come.
If Xia Hongtao was really allowed to regain control of Tianjun, would it still be worth it?
So after getting the news, Xia Shutong and Qian Lingling immediately rushed to Tianjun.
As the industry benchmark of traditional paper media, Tianjun Media is located in the center of Haicheng, less than 500 meters away from Xia Shutong's apartment.
So when Xia Shutong arrived, Xia Hongtao hadn't even sat warmly in the president's seat.
Xia Shutong didn't knock on the door, just pushed the door open and walked in, with arms folded across his chest, leaning lazily by the door, with an undisguised smile in his eyes.
Compared with the nervousness when facing Xia Yuansi the first time, Xia Shutong was much more comfortable this time.
She deduced two pieces of information from the information: first, her father Xia Hongtao was not smart; second, Xia Hongtao did not have a trace of his father's majesty in front of her, in other words, Xia Hongtao was also afraid of her.
When the managers who were reporting the company's recent situation to Xia Hongtao saw Xia Shutong, they stood up almost reflexively: "Mr. Xia, you are back."
Xia Hongtao's face also instantly became ugly.
Xia Shutong nodded, and said in a low voice, "Go to work first, Lao Xia and I always have something to talk about."
Several managers breathed a sigh of relief as if they had been granted an amnesty, and withdrew from the president's office.
You know, when President Xiao Xia took over the company, the first thing he did was to beat up the employees of the old President Xia's party, and even drive them out of the company.
But Mr. Xia came to visit suddenly today, they can't pretend they didn't see it, can they?
Fortunately, Xia Shutong didn't intend to pursue it, and they didn't have time to say anything to Mr. Xia.
After Qian Lingling closed the office door, Xia Shutong sat on the sofa, raised one leg, raised her chin slightly: "Father."
Xia Shutong had a proud expression, her apricot eyes were smiling, but the fingers holding her arm still tightened unconsciously.
Qian Lingling immediately stood diagonally in front of her, half blocking Xia Hongtao's sight.
On the way to the company, they discussed it. When Xia Shutong and Xia Hongtao were negotiating, if something went wrong, Qian Lingling would stand aside and remind her with gestures.
"Shutong, you... your body has recovered?" Xia Hongtao smiled sarcastically, without any intention of getting up from the president's seat.
"Yes." Xia Shutong licked her lips, "During the time I was resting at home, I never saw my father visit me."
"Didn't Yuan Si make a special trip to the hospital? I'm old and my legs and feet are inconvenient. Please be considerate." Xia Hongtao looked away and stopped looking at Xia Shutong.
Xia Hongtao has always been afraid of his own daughter.
Xia Shutong...too much like her mother.
Incredibly good.
And no matter in appearance or character, Xia Shutong didn't look like him at all.
Xia Shutong was fine when she first arrived home, she was just a cold little girl who didn't want to talk much. However, after staying by Zhang Yirou's side for a year, her temperament completely changed.
After Zhang Yirou passed away, Xia Hongtao married his little lover into the house, and finally he was able to straighten up at home.
However, Mr. Xia deliberately cultivated Xia Shutong, and took her to the old house for a period of time. After returning, Xia Shutong's character became even more surly and terrifying.
Even he, the father, couldn't help feeling scared.
Xia Shutong is like an emotionless monster, like a machine that doesn't care about anything except work, like a crazy lunatic, she doesn't fear, doesn't care about blood relationship, and doesn't care about her own body.
Even in this car accident, he had only recuperated at home for less than a week before rushing back to the company.
No, she still has feelings, as evidenced by the ever-present playful smile in her eyes.
That kind of laughter... is like the perverted pleasure of admiring the prey's dying struggle when a carnivorous animal is hunting, it makes people feel chills in their hearts.
Apart from being afraid, Xia Hongtao also had an inexplicable jealousy towards his daughter.
Under the supervision of Mr. Xia, Xia Hongtao worked hard for most of his life, barely managed to control Tianjun, but he never expected that Xia Shutong would easily take the company away from him, and in less than three years, Tianjun's development would be even higher. Floors.
Xia Hongtao has always liked Xia Yuansi, and he wanted Xia Yuansi to be able to control the company, not because he was patriarchal, but because Xia Yuansi was too similar to him.
Equally incompetent, equally cowardly, equally short-sighted...Of course Xia Hongtao would not think so. In his heart, his son was just like him, "with great ambitions but no place to display his talents." At first he was suppressed by Zhang Yirou, and now his son is being suppressed by Xia Shu. With Tong stepping on his feet, he would unconsciously wish... If his son could take Xia Shutong's place, that would be great.
Thinking of this, the fear in the depths of Xia Hongtao's eyes faded, and a little anger arose instead.
Xia Shutong squinted his eyes and carefully looked at Xia Hongtao's expression.
Xia Hongtao looked very similar to Xia Yuansi, except that there were a little more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. At this time, the wrinkles were tightly squeezed together, obviously angry.
But Xia Shutong didn't feel scared.
She recalled one day when she was a child, she accidentally saw two feral cats fighting.
The thin one couldn't beat the other one, so it could only jump back into the owner's yard, howling angrily to provoke the other cat, but didn't dare to take a step out of the yard.
The current Xia Hongtao is like that cat.
impotent rage.
So Xia Shutong's face became even crazier: "Oh, it's not convenient for my father to go to my house, but it's convenient for me to come to the company? And father, I'm afraid you have forgotten that now I am the president of Tianjun, should you start from that position?" Are you up?"
Sure enough, Xia Hongtao's momentum weakened in an instant: "I'm not worried about your illness and want to help you manage the company?"
"I'm not seriously ill, it's okay." Xia Shutong smiled lightly, "Father, your legs and feet are inconvenient, and your brain is not working well when you are old, so don't worry too much, just rest at home. right."
After Xia Shutong finished speaking smoothly, she looked at Qian Lingling calmly.
She was a little afraid that she would act too much. After all, scolding her biological father for being a bad brain...isn't it too much?
Qian Lingling blinked dully.
Just now she almost thought that Mr. Xia's memory had recovered.
Xiao Xia's tone, movements, demeanor, and even the words he said are all the same as before. This is not something that can be done by "acting out", right?
While Qian Lingling was in a daze, Xia Hongtao was also trembling with anger, but he didn't dare to stand up and confront his daughter.
Xia Shutong panicked instantly... Could it be that she really said the wrong thing?
At this time, a phone rang suddenly, breaking the sudden silence in the office.
Qian Lingling picked up the phone: "Hello, how are you?"
A few seconds later, she handed the phone to Xia Shutong with a strange expression: "Mr. Xia, someone said that I made an appointment with you to meet today."
"Who?" Xia Shutong looked up.
"...clouds are not fog."
