Chapter 17

At that, Wenren Jing remembered something else. "The market is such a mess right now. Has your company been affected?"

Wenren Yan shook his head. "Not too badly. In the few months since I returned to the country, Yan Feng Capital hasn't invested much in concept stocks. Most of our investments are in industrial groups whose market values have been severely undervalued. Although the market will definitely hurt short-term returns, our projects are all long-term holdings. I can afford to wait out this loss."

Wenren Jing nodded. After pondering for a moment, he asked, "So you're still going back to that production to act?"

Wenren Yan smiled. "You have to see things through from beginning to end."

Wenren Jing said, "I heard that the capital firms that targeted you before also suffered heavy losses in this market crash."

Wenren Jing knew his son's temperament well. He appeared gentle and refined, but he was actually one to repay every slight. He did not believe that, with things having reached this point, his son would refrain from kicking them while they were down. Besides, from what he knew, that kid Zhao Zhao had already infiltrated the enemy camp.

Wenren Yan smiled. "No rush."

Wenren Jing shook his head and muttered something under his breath. Wenren Yan did not catch it. Wenren Jing repeated himself, "Come to your dad if you need anything. In this country, my connections are still stronger than yours."

Wenren Yan smiled. "Thank you, Father."

After a pause, Wenren Yan suddenly said, "If I have the time, can I bring a friend home?"

No one knew a son better than his father. Wenren Jing immediately asked, "That big star you're filming with?"

Wenren Yan nodded.

Wenren Jing's gaze instantly deepened. "Have you made up your mind? It's him?"

Wenren Yan nodded.

Wenren Jing was silent for a long while, still somewhat unwilling to give up. "Have you really decided?"

Wenren Yan continued nodding.

Wenren Jing let out a long sigh. His son had already come clean to him and his wife the year he went abroad to study. But over all these years, their son had been busy with school and work and had never been in a hurry to date, so Wenren Jing and his wife had not taken it too seriously. They had assumed the child had merely said something rash during adolescence.

Unfortunately, from childhood to adulthood, Wenren Yan had never been someone who spoke carelessly.

After struggling with it for a long time, Wenren Jing finally said helplessly, "Then bring him back for us to meet."

Author's Note:

The General Transmigrates into a Green Tea Bitch is an upcoming novel. If you're interested, please add it to your favorites.

After dying on the battlefield, Su Bai transmigrated.

He became the vicious cannon-fodder green tea bitch in a novel about a scumbag top and a wretched bottom.

This green tea bitch constantly sowed discord and drove wedges between the scumbag top and wretched bottom. After his deeds were exposed, everyone despised him. His parents even threw him out of the house.

General Su, who had always been open and forthright and had never even drunk green tea, said, "..."

Rumor had it that the notorious green tea Su Bai had turned over a new leaf and become a new man!

He no longer meddled in other people's relationships and instead worked diligently to start his own business.

Someone said, "I heard President Su is starting a business. I'd like to discuss a big deal with President Su."

Su Bai asked, "What deal?"

Someone said, "Marry me, and I'll give you half my assets."

Su Bai shuddered. "Get lost!"

Chapter 17

By July, filming for Immortal-Demon Duel had entered its final stages. Wenren Yan and Ao Qingyuan had also grown increasingly close. On the day filming wrapped, the production held a wrap party. Yan Donglin even found time in his busy schedule to come and treat everyone. Though he said he was there to treat them, Yan Donglin did not stay at the party for long. As the boss of Canghai Media and the investor and producer of Immortal-Demon Duel, his presence made even the director and actors feel uncomfortable if he stayed too long. So Yan Donglin only symbolically drank a few glasses, handed out wrap bonuses, and left.

Before leaving, he did not forget to tease Wenren Yan. "Want the big boss to give you, the little actor who came in through the back door, a ride?"

Wenren Yan glanced at Yan Donglin. Ao Qingyuan also looked at Wenren Yan eagerly for some reason. He did not want Wenren Yan to leave with Yan Donglin. Ao Qingyuan frowned in conflict. Before he could figure out why he had such a strange thought, he heard Wenren Yan wave Yan Donglin away. "You go on ahead."

Yan Donglin raised a brow and looked at Wenren Yan suspiciously. It was one thing for this kid to suddenly insist on acting for no apparent reason, but now filming had wrapped and he still refused to leave. There was definitely something fishy going on.

Wenren Yan looked perfectly composed. Uncle and nephew stared at each other in a deadlock for quite some time. Yan Donglin nodded. "Fine! Have fun on your own, then. Enjoy yourself."

For some reason, Ao Qingyuan suddenly felt much better and unconsciously curled his lips into a smile.

After several rounds of drinks, everyone left satisfied. The little assistant supported Ao Qingyuan, whose cheeks were flushed red from drinking, and prepared to return to the hotel. The moment they reached the entrance, Wenren Yan intercepted the person he was carrying.

The little assistant looked at Wenren Yan in confusion.

Grinning foolishly, Ao Qingyuan rubbed his head against Wenren Yan's neck and waved happily at his assistant. "You go! Go on! I'm going out to play with Wenren Yan."

In his drunken haze, Ao Qingyuan accidentally revealed Wenren Yan's real name. The little assistant's eyes widened in shock. Everyone knew that Yan Donglin's Canghai Media was the largest investor in this production. And no one was unaware of the marriage ties between the Yan family and the Wenren Group. When Wenren Yan had joined the production under the fake name "Yan Shu," everyone had wondered whether he had marital ties to the Yan family. Now that Ao Qingyuan had called out Wenren Yan's real name, the connections involved were easy enough to sort out.

Seeing that his identity had been exposed, Wenren Yan did not care much. He directly stuffed the drunk big cat into the car and ordered the driver to set off.

More than two hours later, the car arrived at the seaside. Wenren Yan woke the already sleeping Ao Qingyuan and asked gently, "I want to take you out to sea. Are you willing?"

Ao Qingyuan gave a muddled response. Wenren Yan smiled and directly helped him aboard the boat.

When Ao Qingyuan woke the next morning, he was already surrounded by a vast, boundless sea.
