When Xu Chen parted Xia Zhiyi, he still looked somewhat dazed.
Xia Zhiyi didn't speak too bluntly, but his sharp gaze, so different from usual, gave Xu Chen a sense of dread, like facing a beast about to be unleashed.
In that instant, Xu Chen felt as if he understood what murderous intent was.
However, it only lasted for a moment before Xu Chen regained her senses—though it could also be because Xia Zhiyi wasn't actually after her.
However, although it's unclear why, it's true that Xia Zhiyi has a grudge against Huanyu.
As Xia Zhiyi's manager, Xu Chen had no intention of advising Xia Zhiyi to tone down her brilliance—because Xia Zhiyi was not only his artist and future boss, but also a young person who did not need anyone's protection.
He is young, but he is also very strong.
Xia Zhiyi possesses sufficient self-protection capabilities, Xia Zhiyi also has a solid backer.
Xu Chen, who works under Fu Chi, never doubts his boss's abilities.
Xu Chen felt that as long as the two of them weren't suddenly out of their minds and about to do something illegal or criminal, whatever they decided to do would likely be successful.
Moreover...
Xu Chen watched the vehicle carrying Xia Zhiyi gradually disappear from sight until it was completely out of sight before slowly exhaling. He murmured to himself, " Huanyu has been having a lot of trouble lately. I guess that's why they're trying to cooperate with others as much as possible to stabilize the situation."
"I had suspected before that someone was sabotaging Huanyu, and now it seems I was right... I just didn't expect that it would be our own company's boss who made the move, even though everything was calm and nothing had happened inside Tianhuan."
Well, it's not like nothing really happened. Huanyu Entertainment was in turmoil, affecting everyone from management to artists. Several collaborations were canceled. Well-informed people in the industry seized the opportunity, and Tianhuan also picked up some scraps and gained some benefits.
However, because the company owner adheres to the philosophy of valuing quality over quantity, those minor, less prestigious collaborations simply didn't come into their view.
As for the high-end lines that collaborate with artists under Huanyu, the brands behind them are unlikely to abandon them just because of a little turmoil, and are probably still observing the situation.
Xu Chen touched her chin; her exposed fingers were red from the cold, and touching them felt like being touched by an ice pop, making her shiver. After regaining her senses, she withdrew her hand. "Even so, Huanyu is a large company. Stealing a script is possible, but bankrupting the entire company shouldn't be that easy, right?"
"Forget it, what does this kind of thing have to do with me, an agent?"
Xu Chen straightened his clothes, calculated the time, and figured Fu Yunyi should be done soon too. He turned and quickly returned, saying, "I'll keep an eye on that kid Fu Yunyi."
Well, Huanyu and such, unless the boss specifically asks her to cooperate, Xu Chen should just stay put.

Xia Zhiyi first took Ming Taotao to her residence before returning to the Fu family.
Xia Zhiyi was originally expected to return before Fu Chi, but she actually arrived home after Fu Chi had already come home.
During this time, Fu Chi has returned to his post and continues to be a diligent and domineering CEO working for the group.
As for those people who were eager to cause trouble recently just because Fu Chi had a car accident, and who were foolish enough to jump out and cause trouble after a little drama, they were all dealt with quickly after Fu Chi returned to the company.
As for those ambitious individuals who might have some ulterior motives but kept them hidden and didn't step forward in this matter, Fu Chi wouldn't interfere.
As long as he's still around, everyone, no matter who they are, has to work honestly.
The first few days after Fu Chi returned to the company were undoubtedly the busiest time. After handling the important matters, Fu Chi managed to free up time for himself to go home after work—at least he didn't work overtime at the company until midnight.
"You're back." Hearing the noise, Fu Chi came out of the kitchen, looking at Xia Zhiyi with gentle eyes. "The food is almost ready. Go wash your hands; it's almost time to eat."
Xia Zhiyi a little surprised. "You're cooking today?"
If Fu Chi work at a normal time, there probably won't be enough time to get back to his residence from the company and then cook.
Fu Chi shook his head. "No, I just got back not long ago. I asked the housekeeper to prepare the ingredients in advance and cook two dishes."
Fu Chi said with a slight smile, "You've worked hard. Welcome home."
Upon hearing this, Xia Zhiyi immediately understood that Fu Chi was cooking today entirely because of him.
A warmth filled his heart, as if an invisible current of warmth had silently flowed into his body, rapidly spreading throughout his entire being in a very short time, washing away all the fatigue that no one else could perceive, leaving only ease and warmth.
Just then, Old Master Fu's voice rang out from behind. " Xiao Xia's back! That's good, that's good. You've been working hard for a few days, get some rest now."
He spoke in a completely caring tone, like someone concerned about a younger person, and his words were full of concern.
Xia Zhiyi's eyes held a smile as she exchanged a glance with Fu Chi, then turned to look at Old Master Fu. Before she could speak, a small figure rushed towards her and threw herself into his arms. "Brother!"
It's Xia Zhen.
Xia Zhiyi a little surprised, but still gently patted the little girl's head. "Yes, Xiao Zhen is here too."
Old Master Fu chuckled and said, "You've all gone to work, and I'm bored at home alone, so I had your sister bring your younger sister over to keep this old man company."
Old Master Fu really likes Xia Wanyi.
Although it was initially because of Xia Zhiyi, the old man felt very comfortable with Xia Wanyi only a few short interactions with her. He even regretted having two sons instead of a daughter when he was young.
Daughters are so wonderful, so thoughtful and gentle, unlike his two sons and grandson, who become stiff and unyielding as soon as they grow up, showing no consideration whatsoever, and even arguing back at him. Tsk.
If Xia Zhiyi hadn't started dating Fu Chi, Old Master Fu would probably have wanted to adopt Xia Wanyi his goddaughter.
But it's okay now. Xia Zhiyi is family, and so is Xia Wanyi. They're all family, so it's alright!
"Hmm, my sister is here too?" Xia Wanyi a little surprised, but considering her sister's personality, it wouldn't be surprising if she came at the old man's invitation.
Old Master Fu nodded. "Yes, she's very popular. In just a few days, she's become quite friendly with the young ladies next door and the girls from the house next door and the house next door. This afternoon, they went shopping together."
"We were originally going to take Xia Zhen with us, but Xia Zhen caught a cold and had to stay home."
