The video of the two at the airport immediately exploded online!
"Hahaha, this video has supplied me with a year's worth of laughter!"
"When Brother Yi appeared, both assistants were fully armed, afraid of being recognized by fans! But then... but then... hahaha..."
"This is them shamelessly riding their wife's popularity!"
"So what if they're riding her popularity? Our Brother Yi is rightfully seated as the number one husband material! No arguments accepted!"
Despite the laughter, the teasing was mostly good-natured.
After all, the film emperor's talent was undeniable. If it were any other male lead, it would be seen as him latching on. Who could blame them, given how popular Niang Niang was right now? Such a stunning enchantress was hard for anyone to handle, and it was a good thing the film emperor was so capable!
Fortunately, her drama had concluded, and her joint promotions with Su Yuxi were decreasing, with the CP also being unbound. Appearing publicly with Xiao Yi at this time wouldn't cause any trouble for the drama. Su Dan Novel Network.
Especially since that person was Xiao Yi!
Everyone in the company clearly noticed that after returning from Liujia Village, Xia Wei Liang's state had improved, and she had become more proactive in taking on work.
Director Du was very pleased with this.
Meanwhile, Xiao Yi rested at home for three days.
During these three days, he had Yan Zhi report his itinerary from the past year to him, including what events he attended, whom he met, and what he said.
Everything in detail.
Yan Zhi found it strange and cautiously asked, "Brother Yi, did you... have amnesia?"
Otherwise, why waste time reviewing all this?
Xiao Yi was reading reports about himself, without looking up, he slowly said, "Timely reflection will help you move forward better."
Yan Zhi was stunned. Although he didn't fully understand, he was deeply impressed!
Three days later, he finally "emerged," and his first act was to arrange a meeting with Han Jian Yue.
"Xiao Yi! Why are you looking for me? Haven't we settled everything between us?"
Han Jian Yue was quite intimidated by him. Outsiders didn't know the Xiao family's background, but he knew it very well!
Seeing the man opposite him pick up his tea and take a sip, looking bored, young master Han felt a pang of unease.
"Didn't we resolve everything at the club last time? What do you mean by this again?"
"Oh. Last time~"
Xiao Yi deliberately drew out his words, his lips curving slightly as he looked at him, "There were a few issues that were overlooked, and I wanted to confirm them again."
He looked at him warily, "What issues?"
"For example, 'Tong Zhou'."
"Tong Zhou?" Han Jian Yue asked suspiciously, "Did Xia Wei Liang tell you? She asked about it last time too, and I told her everything. It was people from that side who approached me to invest in them. I didn't think there was any major problem, but later, my old man brought Han Mo Yin back and, for some unknown reason, let him get involved in the business! Well, I didn't expect this kid to be quite capable; he closed several deals successfully, which delighted our old man! Now, he's in charge of almost all major and minor family matters, including the Tong Zhou experiment project."
Han Jian Yue finished speaking in one breath and took a sip of water. "But as far as I know, he probably didn't take it."
Xiao Yi stared at him and suddenly asked, "Do you know who took it over?"
Han Jian Yue, on the other hand, stared at him with curiosity. "You should know this better than I do, right?"
Xiao Yi's eyebrows subtly rose. "Why do you say that?"
"I heard that kid mention later that Tong Zhou had later contacted the Xiao family..."
Xiao Yi was startled.
The Xiao family?
However, he quickly lowered his gaze, returning to his usual demeanor, and then changed the subject. "From what you're saying, you're no longer targeting Han Mo Yin?"
"Heh heh..."
Han Jian Yue chuckled lightly and said unhurriedly, "What do you know! That kid looks easy to bully, but he's actually a wolf! Anyone who falls into his hands is guaranteed to be gnawed to the bone! The most infuriating thing is that he's especially good at playing the victim in front of our old man, talking about how hard his childhood was living with his grandmother, how he had to rely on scholarships to afford school... Pfft! He just knows how to milk our old man's tears all day!"
He was still full of resentment when he mentioned Han Mo Yin, but he had to reluctantly admit, "But this kid does have some ability. Many difficult tycoons are handled by him, and he can resolve them! My old man says he's naturally suited for this line of work! Heh, in that case, why should I bother? I'd rather have more children in that time. Maybe one of my sons can avenge me and seize the family business!"
After saying that, he nodded confidently, thinking he was a genius!
After Han Jian Yue left, Xiao Yi frowned slightly.
The Xiao family's business was large, but they rarely got involved in the pharmaceutical industry. Since Tong Zhou was using the guise of experimental drugs, the Xiao family shouldn't want to touch it, to prevent any under-the-table dealings.
It seemed he had to go back to the Xiao family.

Xia Wei Liang was at home reading scripts. Because of the popularity of "The Concubine," more and more scripts were being sent to her.
Although her acting hadn't reached perfection overnight, it had been recognized by the public, and her audience appeal was surprisingly good! Even though she and Xiao Yi had gone public, both of them were low-key and didn't cause trouble. Coupled with her reputation for being versatile, it didn't hinder the audience from shipping her with young male leads in dramas; Su Yuxi was a prime example.
Therefore, she had become the most sought-after female artist for young male leads to collaborate with, bar none!
As she read, she suddenly looked up and asked, "Why haven't I seen Brother Yuan lately?"
Nuomi pushed up her glasses. "I don't know either. Brother Yuan just said he took on an external job."
"External job?"
Xia Wei Liang suddenly remembered her dealings with Xiao Yu. "It's not over yet?"
She pulled out her phone and made a call. After a few rings, it was answered. "Something wrong?"
Brother Yuan lived up to his reputation. He never engaged in pleasantries, always so concise and genuine!
"Uh, Brother Yuan, I just wanted to ask if you're done on your end? Did that kid Xiao Yu mess with you? If he did, tell me, and I'll have Xiao Yi beat him up!"
Before Song Yuan could speak, she heard a smiling voice, "No way, sister-in-law, they say an elder sister-in-law is like a mother, and you're treating me like this?"
Xia Wei Liang hadn't expected Xiao Yu to be right there. The phone was then taken over by Song Yuan. "Go wash the clothes."
"Yes, sir."
Xiao Yu happily went to wash the clothes.
Xia Wei Liang was shocked. "Brother Yuan! You two..."
"Simply put, I'm pretending to be his girlfriend to help him placate his mother. His mother also treats me like family, assigning me all the dirty and strenuous tasks. Naturally, Xiao Yu has to bear them."
Xia Wei Liang held her phone for a long time before processing all the information. "...He really is obedient then!"
"Otherwise? She's his mother, his home. If he doesn't work, who will?"
"..."
Xia Wei Liang actually felt that what she said made sense!
"How is it progressing now?"
"His mother is probably increasing the difficulty of the tasks to eighty-one tribulations. I've probably just passed the first twenty-odd tribulations."
"...Brother Yuan, keep up the good work."
