Xia Zhiyi came in person this time for two reasons: first, to confirm the safety of Xia Wanyi and Xia Zhen, and second, for work-related matters.
Previously, the game " Jianghu " had hired Xu Zixu as its spokesperson. Xu Zixu's side asked Xia Zhiyi if she wanted to participate in the filming of the game's promotional MV. At that time, Xia Zhiyi did not give a direct answer. Instead, after learning about the game company behind " Jianghu " and combining it with relevant information from the original plot in her mind, she asked Xu Chen to help negotiate.
Xu Chen is a very capable agent, and since Xia Zhiyi has already made her intentions clear, she naturally wouldn't mess things up.
Initially, the game company didn't pay much attention to Xia Zhiyi, whom Xu Zixu recommended. They probably saw Xia Zhiyi as just another internet celebrity who happened to be related to Xu Zixu. The game company's original plan was only to have Xu Zixu as the spokesperson, and they were even thinking of choosing a cosplayer for the MV shoot. Changing it to Xia Zhiyi.
Only after Xu Chen made contact with the other party did they begin to understand what kind of person Xia Zhiyi really was.
Then... and then I vaguely found my way to Hangu Group.
There are barriers between different industries. Generally speaking, it's like being in a completely different world when you're in a different industry. This means that if two people from vastly different industries don't actively seek information from each other, then... well, it's almost like meeting a complete stranger.
However, if you take the initiative to learn, it's not difficult to obtain some information if you pay attention.
Putting aside other matters, the relationship between Hangu Group and Tianhuan Entertainment can be found out if one is willing to do so.
Fu Chi simply wasn't interested in going around saying that he owned Tianhuan Entertainment, but he didn't try to hide it either; anyone who wanted to could find out.
The reason why Tianhuan Entertainment did not attract the attention of most people in the business circle in the early stages was firstly because Fu Chi was a low-key person whose whereabouts were mysterious. Even the few people who were watching him might not be able to figure out his movements, let alone the majority of people who could not even get in touch with him.
Secondly, the entertainment industry is a place that's neither too big nor too small. Every year, new companies emerge one after another, all wanting a piece of the pie. But the result is that beneath the glamorous surface, there are many gullible people who try their luck and get burned.
Some new companies, though registered as companies, are actually just small studios.
Yes, it's still the small workshop kind.
Then there are those outsiders who think it's easy to make money here, so they rush in without knowing anything, excitedly start a company, mess around with things, and then... and then nothing happens.
In short, for various reasons, before the so-called new company gained any traction, Tianhuan Entertainment was insignificant in the eyes of those companies that had already taken the lion's share of the pie.
And then, when everyone later discovered that Tianhuan Entertainment was actually founded by Fu Chi...
At first, everyone thought: Oh, just another amateur messing around trying to make money.
Then...
Everyone: Damn it, is this the level of the King of Hell in the business world?!
The current situation is that, without Fu Chi's cover-up, the game company behind " Jianghu " vaguely knows that Xia Zhiyi's entertainment company is a small company, it has a powerful backer, and Xia Zhiyi's agent, Xu Chen, is also a top agent, which shows that the company values him highly.
Therefore, while the previous disdain has not been completely eliminated, it has been largely eradicated.
Furthermore, the fact that Xia Zhiyi real kung fu couldn't be investigated, which actually fit the martial arts background of " Jianghu " quite well, so the collaboration was settled smoothly.
Xia Zhiyi came to see Xia Wanyi of completing her work while taking her older sister and younger sister on vacation.
"Hmm? Are you going to take me and Xiao Zhen along? Won't that disturb your work?" Hearing Xia Zhiyi's purpose, Xia Wanyi frowned slightly and asked softly.
Xia Zhiyi shook her head. "No, the filming location is a tourist attraction. There are guesthouses and hotels there. You and Xiao Zhen weren't traveling with the crew."
"I'll cover all the expenses, and it's not related to the team. We're just passing by, and I won't be contacting you during work hours," Xia Zhiyi said with a smile. "However, since it's a tourist attraction, although they rented the venue from the locals, they're not wealthy enough to book the whole place. So, as tourists, you and Xiao Zhen can still watch from the sidelines."
Although they are family members, they eat and spend their own money. They just live close to Xia Zhiyi. As long as it doesn't interfere with their work, no one can say anything.
Xia Wanyi somewhat tempted.
As the year draws to a close, Xia Wanyi isn't exactly free, as preparing her thesis takes up a considerable amount of her time.
Xia Wanyi had a lot of free time. Her supervisor was very lenient with her. As long as Xia Wanyi completed the project within the stipulated time, whether she stayed at school to complete it or traveled while doing so, her supervisor had no objection.
After all, you're a graduate student, not a baby anymore; professors won't be watching over you all the time.
That's why Xia Zhiyi was able to come over so excitedly without prior notice, and wasn't worried about Xia Wanyi rejecting her.
"Traveling..." Xia Wanyi murmured, looking down at the little girl beside her, patting her head, and asking, " Xiao Zhen, do you want to go?"
Xia Zhen had been sitting quietly to the side the whole time, listening to the conversation between the siblings without interrupting.
Only when Xia Wanyi looked down and asked did she blink and obediently nod, "I want to go."
Traveling isn't important; what's important is being able to go with my sister and brother.
I can also see how the older brother works, how exciting!
Xia Zhiyi said, "While Xiao Zhen hasn't gone to school yet, take her around to see more of the place. That way, she can have something to talk about with others when she starts school."
Xia Wanyi made a lot of sense, so she hesitated only slightly before nodding in agreement. "Okay, I'll pack my bags when I get back tonight."
And that was the end of it.
After returning home, Xia Zhiyi chatted with Xia Wanyi for a few minutes, then looked around the guest room Xia Wanyi had prepared for her before taking her clothes to wash up.
Xia Wanyi then took Xia Zhen to prepare their luggage for the trip.
Xia Wanyi of packing; Xia Zhen mostly just checked what she needed to bring or helped hand over something.
As Xia Wanyi folded the clothes and put them into her suitcase, she asked Xia Zhen, " Zhiyi has his final exams coming up soon. He says he's taking it easy, but I bet he's actually quite busy. It'll be good if he can spend half a day with us. Don't blame your brother, Xiao Zhen."
Xia Zhen nodded obediently, "It's okay, I can watch my brother go to work."
