Chapter 711 (2/2)

While sitting on the sofa with leg tilted, Tang Xiu released a stream of True Essence and wrapped the cigarette ash to throw it outside the window. The ashtray was not provided in a world full of women, and smoking here was similarly inconvenient.

Not long after, Zhang Xinyue, who had just left, returned to the office along with Zhang Xinya. When Tang Xiu saw the duo’s identical looks, he could not help but secretly admire the mystical creator. With the similarities of these sisters, it was no wonder that someone would probably recognize them mistakenly no matter how familiar they were with them.

“Tang Xiu.”

Zhang Xinya looked unusually happy after seeing Tang Xiu. She walked over with a brisk pace, put her bag on the sofa nearby and then sat next to Tang Xiu, saying, “You called me yesterday and said that there’s something you need to discuss with me, what is it? Also, how did you know that I was in Shanghai? I rarely go out since coming here, and neither have I attended any commercial events.”

“I didn’t know that you were in Shanghai, in fact.” Tang Xiu smiled. “It was Qin Shaoyang who told me. Also, the reason I came to find you is kind of working as a lobbyist for him.”

Qin Shaoyang?

“The owner of Kande Club in Beijing and the sole heir of the Qin Family?” Asked Zhang Xinya, surprised.

“Yeah, him.” Tang Xiu nodded.

“So, what kind of lobbying are you doing?” Asked Zhang Xinya with a confused expression.

“Well, Qin Shaoyang and I, along with Chu Yi, have set up a type of literature and cultural entertainment company. I invested 1 billion yuan in it and own 30% of the company’s shares, while Chu Yi invested 500 million that accounts for 15% shares, whereas 10% of the shares will be reserved for the company executives in the future. Qin Shaoyang himself owns 45% of the remaining shares on the account of the 1.5 billion yuan he invested in the company,” explained Tang Xiu with a smile. “Of course, Chu Yi and I will not intervene in the affairs of the company management; Qin Shaoyang will take care of it. Anyways, he learned that your contract with your agency has expired, so he asked me to invite you to join our company. Other than offering you 1% of the company’s shares, there’s also a much better treatment for you compared to your previous contract.”

“I agree,” said Zhang Xinya without hesitation after hearing it.

“No, you can’t.” Zhang Xinyue immediately interrupted.

Tang Xiu glanced at her and understood what she had in mind. Instead, it was Zhang Xinya who frowned and turned her head toward her, asking with a confused expression, “Why do you not agree, Sis? I never planned to set up my own studio, and I got nothing to do now. You also know that I’m short on money recently, and I’ll soon be asking for your support. What can I do if I don’t have a job? Besides, Tang Xiu has shares in this company, and I’m sure that he won’t let me suffer a loss.”

Zhang Xinyue secretly criticized inwardly,* It is because Tang Xiu has shares in this company that I don’t want you to agree. The more you can avoid him in the future, the more chance you have to meet others and the better it will be.*

However, she could not say what she thought and could only brace forward, “Sis, I think you have been too tired in the past few years, so it’s better for you to take a break for now. Besides, don’t you still have me? I can still support both of us even if you want to take a break for eight or ten years.”

Her sister’s words made Zhang Xinya feel warm inside. However, even though she was touched, she did not want to live off her younger sister, so she firmly said, “Xinyue, you don’t have to persuade me. I’ve decided to join this entertainment company.”

Zhang Xinyue knew her sister’s personality. She may look tender and gentle on the outside, but once she decided on something, only a few people could change her decision. However, after she gave it a thought, she changed her mind since Tang Xiu would not be involved in the affairs of this entertainment company. In such a situation where her sister was kept busy, the chances of them meeting would be very few.

Therefore, she could only force a smile and say, “I’ll respect your decision since you already made up your mind, Sis. But don’t work too much, okay? Besides, money isn’t everything.”

“Don’t worry, I know,” said Zhang Xinya with a smile.

After obtaining Zhang Xinya’s reply, Tang Xiu did not want to stay there for long, so he got up to leave and said with a smile, “Anyways, I still have other things to tend to, so I’ll take my leave. Xinya, I’ll text you Qin Shaoyang’s cell number, you can contact him later!”

“Leaving so soon? Let’s have some time together,” said Zhang Xinya hastily.

Tang Xiu casually glanced at Zhang Xinyue and immediately replied with a smile, “I have many pressing things, so I must go. But I’ll contact you again after I’m done dealing with some matters.”

Although Zhang Xinya was a bit unwilling and felt reluctant to part with Tang Xiu, she was also afraid that she would delay and disturb him in dealing with his business, so she could only nod in disappointment.

Ring, ring, ring…

At this moment, Tang Xiu’s mobile phone rang. When he took it out and saw that it was a call from Mo Awu, he immediately put it through and asked, “What’s the matter, Awu?”

“Boss, there’s an accident…”

In an instant, the smile on Tang Xiu’s face disappeared, replaced with a grim and solemn expression.
