Xu Chen: "Now that President Fu is awake, what about Fu Yunyi...?"
Xia Zhiyi glanced at Xu Chen, knowing that she also wanted to drag Fu Yunyi back to his previous work, and said helplessly, " Sister Chen, how about you just consider it giving Fu Yunyi an early winter vacation?"
Xu Chen: "... Celebrities don't have winter breaks."
Rather, it's when students are on vacation that this industry is busiest.
If we don't work hard during peak traffic periods, when will we?
Especially since Fu Yunyi is currently in the rising phase of his career, cutting ties at this time, even with the Fu Yunyi's Fu family, will still have some impact on his future career.
Moreover, Fu Yunyi is currently the top star of Tianhuan Entertainment. As a new company, Tianhuan needs Fu Yunyi to build its reputation in the industry. In other words, Fu Yunyi is not only working for himself, but also promoting the company.
Xia Zhiyi wasn't unaware of these things, but...
Xia Zhiyi coughed lightly and said to Xu Chen, " Fu Chi's injury this time is also quite serious; he may need to stay in bed and recuperate for a while."
Xu Chen looked a little distressed. "But the New Year is just around the corner, and it would be a real shame to miss some of these announcements."
Putting aside other things, the Spring Festival Gala and such...
Xu Chen asked, "How long does President Fu to rest?"
Before Xia Zhiyi answer, she added, "Is it possible before the Spring Festival Gala?"
Xia Zhiyi somewhat surprised. "Did Fu Yunyi receive an invitation?"
"Um."
Xia Zhiyi: "He's quite impressive."
Xu Chen was both amused and exasperated. "Why do you make it sound like it's strange that he was invited?"
Xia Zhiyi smiled and said, "No, it's quite normal for him to be invited if it were him."
Xu Chen: "Well, anyway, if President Fu is able to resume work, please let me know in advance so I can make arrangements for Fu Yunyi's work."
Xia Zhiyi curiously, " Fu Yunyi probably told you about this, Sister Chen, right?"
Xu Chen sneered, "I'm afraid that after he's done with his work here, he won't want to work anymore."
Xia Zhiyi thought about it and felt that Fu Yunyi wouldn't give up being an artist just because he stayed in the company for a while. After all, in the story, he took over the entire Fu family and still shone brightly in the entertainment industry, working himself to death to fulfill his dream of becoming a star.
However, there is indeed a possibility of a slight slackening in the short term.
"I understand. I'll tell Sister Chen about it later."
Xu Chen nodded in satisfaction.
After parting ways with Xu Chen, Xia Zhiyi bought a sandwich from a coffee shop before heading back to the hospital.
However, just as he stepped out of the coffee shop, he saw a few people passing by on the other side of the street, one of whom happened to be someone he recognized.
The other person, seemingly unintentionally, or perhaps noticing Xia Zhiyi's gaze, turned their head and glanced in this direction, a hint of surprise on their face.
Xia Zhiyi smiled, met his gaze, and then looked down to take out her phone and typed a message.
Then, without looking any further, as if he had only glanced at it casually, he left in the direction of the hospital.
Across the street, Li Jing subconsciously stopped in his tracks. He looked away as Xia Zhiyi lowered her head, and when he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, he refrained from looking at where Xia Zhiyi had gone.
However, the people traveling with him quickly noticed his pause and turned to look at him.
The young man in the lead asked, " Li Jing, what's wrong?"
Li Jing smiled. "It's nothing, I just suddenly had a bit of inspiration. When are we going back?"
They were just out for some fresh air, and before they knew it, they had wandered up to Xia Zhiyi.
Afterwards, Li Jing checked and saw a hospital not far from that section of road. His expression twisted somewhat. "As expected of you, Xia Zhiyi."
They actually moved the person to a military hospital; no wonder I ran into them.
[A: Tell me about the progress when you have some free time. Even though you have the framework, things haven't been going so smoothly for you, have they?]
[M: Still under discussion.]

After that, Xia Zhiyi stayed with Fu Chi in the hospital for a few more days. During that time, Assistant Li would come to the hospital every day to report to Fu Chi.
After Assistant Li, Fu Yunyi finally finished arranging things and went to the hospital to visit his dear uncle.
When Fu Yunyi saw the cast on Fu Chi's left hand, his expression was just like seeing his own father injured—shocked and saddened, almost as if he wanted to rush over and hug Fu Chi and cry his heart out.
Xia Zhiyi, watching this scene from the side, had a complicated expression. "Although I know you're not exactly a decent person in private, this contrast is just too much."
Fu Yunyi was inwardly bitter, but before complaining, he retorted to Xia Zhiyi, "Hey, even if you're considered my elder now, you can't talk to me like that! What do you mean I'm not a proper person? I'm as proper as can be!"
Xia Zhiyi smiled. "Really? If you say so, then it is."
Fu Yunyi: "..."
Damn it, even though he knew Xia Zhiyi was teasing him on purpose, Fu Yunyi didn't dare to be too rude to Xia Zhiyi in front of his uncle.
Xia Zhiyi composed herself, pulled up a chair, and gestured for Fu Yunyi to sit down beside the bed. "Alright, I know you two have something important to discuss. I'll go downstairs to buy something; you two talk."
Fu Yunyi looked at Fu Chi.
Fu Chi nodded. "It's a bit boring in the hospital, you might as well go for a walk."
Although there wasn't much to see around the area, there was a sanatorium behind the hospital, but it wasn't a place you could just walk into.
But it's better than being locked in this room with him.
Xia Zhiyi smiled, waved to Fu Yunyi, and left.
After Xia Zhiyi left, Fu Yunyi said somewhat awkwardly, "Uncle, are you alright now?"
Fu Chi: "Hmm."
Fu Yunyi: "That's wonderful! Uncle, get well soon and come back to the company. I've had enough of those people."
Upon hearing this, Fu Chi raised an eyebrow, looked at him, and asked, "Has someone been looking for you?"
Neither of them said it explicitly, but they both understood what the other meant.
Fu Yunyi leaned back in his chair, looking somewhat listless. "Yeah, there are a few uncles. I didn't realize it before; I thought they were really close to you. Every time we met, they would always praise how amazing you were to me."
"As it turns out, this time I was just a tool, with my grandfather backing me up. I've only been gone a few days, and some people are already getting restless."
"I knew before that people talked about our family behind our backs, but I never imagined that after all these years, they would still believe it."
Fu Chi: "What conditions were offered?"
At this point, Fu Yunyi couldn't help but sneer, "What? They wanted to instigate me to seize power while you were away from the company, Uncle, but all they wanted was to talk and no action, without offering any real benefits."
"Not only that, I think they're even trying to use this 'helping the emperor rise to power' to ask me for favors."
What a beautiful dream.
