Tang Zhenhua surely knew what Tang Xi said made sense, but he still felt sad at the fact that Xixi would disappear forever.

Knowing what Tang Zhenhua was thinking of, Tang Xi pursed her lips, sat beside Tang Zhenhua and said to him gently, “Grandpa, now the company is stabilized. When you get better, I’ll go abroad. I always wanted to get a Ph.D. in the US. Now I finally have a chance.”

“Ph.D.?” Tang Zhenhua looked at her and sighed. “Have you already made up your mind?”

Tang Xi nodded. “Yeah, and I’ve handled the procedures. I’m going to the US when I’ve arranged the affairs of the company. And I can teach Rourou how to manage the Empire Group via phone.”

“I still feel…” Tang Ya sighed and looked at Tang Xi. “As soon as I came back, you’ve decided to give the whole Empire Group to Rourou. It makes me feel as if I came back to get the properties of the Tang Family. I don’t feel comfortable about it. Xixi, you can manage the company remotely. You don’t have to do this.”

Tang Xi smiled and said, “I know it’s hard for you to accept it right away, but I have been planning this before you appeared, so Aunt, you don’t have to feel guilty.”

Tang Xi tried her best and finally persuaded Tang Ya.

In the police station, with the evidence Tang Xi provided, Tang Jieren’s confession and other evidence the police collected, it was simply impossible for Qin Xinying to deny what she had done, and Qin Benyuan was also brought to the police station.

Knowing that he had no choice but to confess, Qin Benyuan admitted what he had done.

The projects of the Qin’s Group and the Qin’s Consortium were almost all suspended due to lack of capital. And the Qin’s Group was in a great financial crisis as its president was arrested and its stock price had hit the bottom down.

It almost went bankrupt.

Dubai.

It had been a week since Lu Li received his operations. Although he no longer needed to stay in ICU, there were no signs of him waking up.

Outside the ward, Qiao Liang and Lin Yuan looked at the Lu Li who was still in a coma through the windows, and both of them looked worried.

Lin Yuan said, “I’ve found out that those people were working for a man called William who seemed to be from the agent island as well.”

Qiao Liang frowned and looked at Lin Yuan. “I’ve told you to cooperate with Xiao Yao to find out who was the traitor in our organization. How did that go?”

“Neither the traitor in our organization nor those in their organization have been caught. I think they might have hidden themselves. I came to talk to you about this matter. I think I’m a better choice than you to go catch the traitors.” Lin Yuan looked at Qiao Liang. Seeing he remain expressionless, he continued, “Long Xiao needs you. Besides, you have to take care of Lu Li…”

Qiao Liang took a look at Lu Li, then turned his eyes to Lin Yuan, and nodded. “Okay, keep in touch with me.”

Lin Yuan nodded. Then he seemed to think of something and said to Qiao Liang. “Are you really not going to tell Wen Ning about Lu Li’s whereabouts?” He sighed, paused and went on, “I think she didn’t do anything wrong. Although Lu Li was seriously injured this time, Wen Ning didn’t play a part in it. You’re just venting your anger on her. To be honest, I think it’s unfair to her.”

Qiao Liang looked at Lin Yuan and raised his eyebrows. “Do you think I’m picking on her?”

“Aren’t you?” Lin Yuan looked at Qiao Liang. “Don’t deny it.”

Qiao Liang lowered his head and it had been quite a while before he sneered. “Why didn’t Wen Ning know their plan against Lu Li? That’s because her superiors already knew of her relationship with Lu Li. If I let Wen Ning see Lu Li, those people will know Lu Li is still alive. I don’t want Lu Li to get hurt anymore.”

Lin Yuan looked at Qiao Liang hesitantly but nodded in the end. “Alright, it’s up to you. When will you go back to China?”

Qiao Liang shook his head. “No, I’m not going back to China anytime soon. Rourou is going to shoot her movie and my mother will spend the Spring Festival in the Yang Family. I don’t need to worry about them, so I will stay here to take care of Lu Li.”

…

After Tang Zhenhua was discharged from the hospital, Tang Xi ‘went abroad’ with the excuse of studying. Xiao Rou gradually took over the Empire Group and at the same time, she was busy working out and building up her body.

And she also found that her experience points had all risen.

After the spring festival, she began to shoot the movie and her acting career thus formally started.

Tang Ya and the others tried to stop her from shooting the movie, because they were afraid her body couldn’t afford the hard work, as she had to manage The Queen and the Empire Group at the same time, but Tang Xi insisted on taking this job and they could only give up in the end.

Tang Xi started to shoot her first movie.

After reading the script, Tang Xi was surprised to find that there were many Kung Fu scenes. She hurriedly went to ask Ning Yan, “Director Ning, there weren’t so many Kung Fu scenes in the former script. Why are there so many fighting scenes now?”

Could her body afford the workload?

Ning Yan took a look at her, shrugged and continued to talk with others. After he finished, he turned to Tang Xi. “That script is for He Wanyi and this is yours. I want you to get familiar with each other’s script.”

“….” Tang Xi looked speechlessly at Ning Yan. “But I can’t do these scenes!”

“I’ll give you a week to get familiar with this script.” Ning Yan tested his machinery and said without looking back. “I’ll hire a Kung Fu teacher for you. You can study Kung Fu from him during the daytime and read the script at night. The shooting will be formally started after a week.”

Tang Xi nodded helplessly. She didn’t know anything about movie shooting, so she could only follow Ning Yan’s instructions. Ning Yan introduced a Kung Fu teacher to Tang Xi later.

Although she experienced many setbacks, Tang Xi still tried to finish every shooting task perfectly.

During the three months, except asking for leave twice, Tang Xi spent all the rest of her time in the shooting and devoted herself to making the movie.

“Rourou, is something wrong with your brother? He hasn’t answered my phone calls or returned my messages for two months.” One day, after work, He Wanyi took Tang Xi to the side and asked in a lowered voice.
