The day after the banquet ended, Murong Qiao received an unexpected gift.

A book of holdings for the horse ranch.

“For me?” Murong Qiao blinked blankly.

She stared at her name on the paper. She hadn’t expected the gift to come so quickly.

“I promised to give it to you.” Murong Chuan replied in a low voice.

It wasn’t easy for him to find a gift that his Little Sister would like. Murong Chuan moved quickly and prepared the gift overnight before delivering it to Murong Qiao.

Hearing Murong Chuan’s serious and sincere tone, Murong Qiao knew that he really wanted to give it to her. She pursed her lips and looked at the certificate in her hand, feeling a little in disbelief.

The certificate was Murong Chuan’s first gift to her.

“Thank you, Third Brother.” Murong Qiao smiled and thanked him.

Perhaps Murong Chuan didn’t think that the ranch he gave her was that big of a gift, but Murong Qiao appreciated Murong Chuan’s intentions and gradually realized that her Third Brother was just cold on the surface.

Murong Qiao, who had finished attending the banquet, was different from the others who enjoyed their university days. Even if she had free time, she would spend it on the company. Whenever she was free, she would go to the company every other day.

Not to mention that the company had just entered the budding stage. The talents had to be taken care of. Murong Qiao had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she came to the office to discuss with Jiang Chi.

“The company has just started recently. Please keep an eye on it,” Murong Qiao reminded him as she sat on the chair and read the information.

Jiang Chi agreed, but he couldn’t take his eyes off his boss.

She was clearly still in her youth, but the girl had become the boss of a company with such an overly beautiful face, as if she had matured too early.

“The people you asked me to recruit last time are not bad.” Jiang Chi reported their recent situation. “They’ll be ready to debut after some training.”

“Shi Yang has a unique style and is very liked by the vocal teacher. The company plans to let him partic.i.p.ate in some talent show programs. Xu Xiuzhu on the other hand, is very experienced in acting, but he still needs to learn professional skills. Fortunately, he’s talented.” Each of the four people chosen were very promising. When Jiang Chi spoke of them, his expression was relaxed. “Cang Nanrong has been undergoing systemic training. Chi Hanjing’s acting skills are very good and she managed to get casted as a second female lead.”

The four talents had received the best nurturing and were shining towards the future step by step.

Murong Qiao divided her attention to listen to Jiang Chi’s report and planned to look for An Nuo. Last time, she was only focused on letting her sign the contract and had not planned for the other party’s training.

“Alright, I’ll leave it to you.” She stood up and pushed open the door. “Let me know if anything happens.”

The company was usually managed by Jiang Chi, which saved Murong Qiao a lot of trouble. After giving him instructions, she walked out of the office and went to the training room planned by the company.

She had arranged to meet An Nuo here.

“Qiao, your company is so big!” Murong Qiao pushed open the door and was pounced on by An Nuo. “I really have a powerful backer!”

An Nuo’s eyes lit up as she spoke. She stuck to Murong Qiao and chatted like a little bird, but no one would think that she was noisy.

“I hope you’ll still like this place when you start work in the future.” Murong Qiao also teased her with a smile. She then knocked An Nuo’s head with her finger, indicating for her to let go and stand properly.

She didn’t call An Nuo over to chat this time. When Murong Qiao came in, she brought a teacher with her.

“This is Teacher Guan. She’ll teach you how to perform in the future.” She changed the topic to the woman behind her.

An Nuo looked at the person Murong Qiao introduced curiously and saw a gentle woman standing behind Murong Qiao elegantly. She even smiled kindly when she met An Nuo’s gaze.

She didn’t look like a teacher at ail.

This was An Nuo’s first impression of Teacher Guan.

Little did she know how much she would wail because of Teacher Guan’s training in the future.

“h.e.l.lo, Teacher.” When it came to serious business, An Nuo obediently greeted Teacher Guan.

“h.e.l.lo, An Nuo.” Teacher Guan smiled and nodded. “From now on, 1 will be your acting teacher.”

Although An Nuo was still in university, the professional training arranged by the company was going to be more advanced than the lessons in university. It would allow An Nuo to improve faster.

Murong Qiao didn’t treat An Nuo as a money making tree, but she had other considerations for An Nuo.

After Fearless, Wulin Universe was also very popular. Everyone knew that it was a bar of gold, and they were just waiting for someone to adapt it into a drama.

Murong Qiao arranged a teacher for An Nuo and calculated the time. By the time she’s ready, Wulin Universe would probably be accepting auditions.

After settling the matters at the company, it was almost time to go back to school. Thinking that her Fifth Brother was focused on filming and the two of them had not seen each other for a long time, Murong Qiao went to the production team.

The location of the production team was the same as last time. Murong Qiao was already familiar with the way. She arrived at the entrance of the production team in less than two to three minutes after getting out of the car.

The guard saw that it was Murong Qiao and let her in without a word.

“You—” The staff outside the production team was about to greet Murong Qiao.

“Shh.” Murong Qiao gestured for him to keep quiet.

She wanted to give her Fifth Brother a surprise, so she didn’t let anyone inform Xian Yu of her arrival.

However, when she reached the door of Xian Yu’s dressing room, she realized that the atmosphere was not right. Before Murong Qiao entered, she heard her Fifth Brother’s slightly irritable voice coming from inside.

“Don’t even think about having me endorse for a year! Is he worthy of me working for him?” Xian Yu looked impatient and was obviously unhappy.

The manager’s expression wasn’t good either. Seeing Xian Yu’s reaction, his head hurt even more.

“I know you’re unwilling to do these things, but that director is not easy to talk to. He already had a problem with you when you skipped work to visit your Little Sister last time.” The manager was also just stating the truth. “This is also the best condition I can demand for you. Moreover, endors.e.m.e.nts for a year can be considered as a way to increase your popularity. It definitely won’t be a loss to you.”

The entertainment industry was neither big nor small, and there were only a few famous people. Everyone would b.u.mp into each other every now and then, and the manager didn’t want Xian Yu to ruin his own path.

“Would 1 care about the bit of popularity 1 can get from him?” Xian Yu scoffed with a disdainful expression. “Let him do whatever he wants. It’s not like he’s the only one who can give me work.”

His words were meant to let his manager know his att.i.tude.

Knowing Xian Yu’s temper, the manager didn’t know what to say for a moment. He was afraid that if he continued, he would make Xian Yu angry.

‘Although the manager admired Xian Yu’s fearless courage, he was still worried as the director did have a powerful backer. The manager was also worried that Xian Yu’s reputation would be affected in the future, so he agreed to the endors.e.m.e.nt request as a form of compensation to the production team to appease the director.

Unfortunately, the little master didn’t want to do it.

“Alright, I understand.” The manager sighed and stopped trying to mention this matter again.

Actually, both the manager and Xian Yu knew about this. They had already discussed the compensation when he skipped work previously. Xian Yu was indeed in the wrong first, but the production team was still harping on this matter. It was obvious that they were not satisfied with the benefits from before and wanted to squeeze Xian Yu for more benefits.

Since they were trying to bully him now, Xian Yu naturally wouldn’t sit back and let them.

Murong Qiao, who was standing at the door and listening to the whole story, pushed the door open and happened to see Xian Yu’s cold face.

“Qiaoqiao?” Xian Yu instantly straightened up. “Why are you here?”

Like ice melting into spring, Xian Yu’s cold expression disappeared in the blink of an eye and was replaced by a happy smile.

His change in att.i.tude was so fast that the manager beside him was stunned..
