"The twentieth—that's still a few days off. Let me work out the timing and get there as soon as I can," Wei Zhao said.
"Oh, that's right—I hear you're working as a close guard for a star? Xiao Jiu says she's already arranged with an entertainment company and plans to invite her over here to discuss a film collaboration," Yang Qiqi said.
"Huh? A film?" Wei Zhao was slightly taken aback. Xu Shilan had always built her career in the music world; a superstar of the highest rank she might be, but in film and television she had achieved little. In truth this was because the ancient Feng family's influence was limited and they had no well-connected people to push such matters, so Xu Shilan had remained confined to the music scene.
"Yes. This company's visual effects and professional post-production are largely handled by several of Xiao Jiu's disciples—some of them owe Xiao Jiu favors, so when the request was made, the company's chairman readily agreed." With that, Yang Qiqi named a highly renowned company.
Wei Zhao was somewhat surprised, but on reflection it made perfect sense! For an entertainment company to produce special effects and post-production work that stood out from the rest, it had to engage highly professional individuals or firms and outsource the business. After all, each craft had its specialists: the company was good at making films, but its post-production effects might not match those of the professional houses.
"That is good news. With a company like that backing Xu Shilan, her acting career can take another step forward," Wei Zhao said with a nod.
Yang Qiqi, for her part, was not especially put off by the whole business of stars. How many women there were at Wei Zhao's side—she did not particularly care, and this had to do with the world she had grown up in. Her father had several wives, one of them a star as well, so Yang Qiqi did not much mind, so long as Wei Zhao was her Brother A-Yi.
After hanging up, Wei Zhao gathered everyone in the villa into the living room. Since he was going out, he naturally had to tell Xiaoshu and Wang Xinyan as well.
"Wei Zhao... you're going to Europe..." Hearing his words, Wang Xinyan was at once a little disappointed. It looked as though the plan to travel through Southeast Asia with Wei Zhao had fallen through—he certainly could not go now.
"That's right, Xinyan. Why don't you and Xiaoshu come along too?" Wei Zhao suggested.
Wang Xinyan's heart gave a stir at once, and she turned to look hopefully at Shen Yushu.
Shen Yushu wanted to go as well, but she could not. Yuyi had sent word: the day of that plan was drawing nearer and nearer. Lately the people behind Yuyi had begun to move and negotiate with increasing frequency. Shen Yushu, perhaps, would soon have to leave.
"I won't go, Sister Xinyan. You and Brother Arrow Brand go and have fun—don't worry about me. I'll stay here at home. Who knows, maybe Sister Yaoyao will come back for a visit?" Shen Yushu found herself an excuse.
"Ah... so you're not going..." Wang Xinyan was instantly disappointed. If Shen Yushu would not go, it hardly seemed right for her to go either, so she said, "Then I'll stay home and keep you company. Wei Zhao, why don't you and Xiaohan go together?"
"All right, then." Wei Zhao knew Wang Xinyan felt uneasy about leaving Xiaoshu home alone. Han Jingyi had already gone to the Yanjing office to plan the market launch of the second-grade automatic medicinal cauldron, so naturally she could not stay at home to keep Xiaoshu company.
