Chu Zi glanced at Gu Xiao, who was busy in the kitchen, and then at Chu An, who was clearly sitting in front of him, but the latter’s mind was completely focused on the kitchen. He shook his head in amusement.
“Alright, you should go in and accompany your Xiaoxiao! 1’11 just sit by myself for a while.”
Hearing this, Chu An turned around and glanced at Chu Zi. His eyes lit up, and he stood up without hesitation.
“Then sit for a while, Brother. I’ll go and check on Xiaoxiao.”
Chu Zi sat in the living room and couldn’t hear what Chu An and Gu Xiao were talking about. However, when he saw Chu An leaning intimately against Gu Xiao, and how Gu Xiao didn’t reject him, he knew that Chu An was living very well here.
This was because he saw a blissful smile on Chu An’s face that he had never shown when he was in the Chu residence.
Chu Zi observed for a long time while eating. After confirming that Chu An was living happily enough, he stood up in satisfaction and prepared to leave.
Just as Chu Zi went out, Chu An handed Chu Zi a bag of things.
“Don’t you like Mom’s pickled radishes? Xiaoxiao said that we have a lot of them here, so she gave you some.”
When Chu Zi heard this, a hint of a smile appeared in his eyes when he looked at Chu An. He took the bag from Chu An without hesitation and then looked at Gu Xiao.
“Xiaoxiao! It’s all thanks to you this time. If it weren’t for you, this kid wouldn’t have spat out what was already right in his pocket.”
Chu Zi had already decided that if Gu Xiao really joined their Chu family in the future, he would treat her well.
Gu Xiao was the only one who could really suppress that brat Chu An!
Gu Xiao smiled as well. “This is what I should do.”
After all, Mrs Chu had prepared too much food, especially pickled vegetables and pickled radishes. Even if they ate them every day, it would probably take a long time to finish them.
However, if things like pickled radishes were kept for too long, they wouldn’t be crispy and wouldn’t taste so good. They might as well give them away.
Satisfied, Chu Zi left Chu An’s villa with the things Gu Xiao gave him.
After Gu Xiao and Chu An confirmed the direction they were going to start their company, they got busy during the time they were not spending on studies.
After the various documents for opening the company were completed, the two of them had to confirm the celebrity they needed to invite.
“Does Xiaoxiao have someone she likes?”
Chu An held his phone in his hand and continuously searched online for celebrities who were relatively famous but had the possibility of joining their company. However, no matter how he looked, he couldn’t find anyone suitable.
Gu Xiao put down her phone with a hesitant expression.
When Chu An saw this, he sat up straight and quietly looked at Gu Xiao with his bright eyes.
“Xiaoxiao already has someone in mind?”
After a few seconds, Gu Xiao nodded. “1 don’t know if 1 can sign him over.”
“Who?”
“Huang Tu’s Jiang Xi.”
Upon hearing this name, Chu An frowned slightly, and a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes.
“Huang Tu’s Jiang Xi? Why would Xiaoxiao think of him? He can be considered a celebrity that Huang Tu is focusing on nurturing, right? He shouldn’t be interested in a small company like ours.”
Huang Tu was one of the more established entertainment companies in the industry. It had produced a lot of celebrities and was one of the entertainment companies that many celebrities wanted to enter.
And Jiang Xi was one of the celebrities that Huang Tu was focusing on nurturing. Huang Tu also spent a lot of resources on Jiang Xi. Under such circumstances, it was almost impossible for Jiang Xi to abandon Huang Tu and the resources they provided.
Gu Xiao also knew Chu An’s scruples, but she still wanted to give it a try.
“Can you reach him?”
In her previous life, she had some impression of this Jiang Xi.
Jiang Xi came from a talent show and had a good singing and dancing foundation. He also knew how to write music and choreograph dance. His ability was very good and his fans were very loyal.
Huang Tu indeed valued Jiang Xi and was focusing on nurturing him.
A good singer would soon turn into the acting field. Huang Tu wanted Jiang Xi to act, but Jiang Xi only wanted the stage and music, and compose albums.
Huang Tu gave no concern to Jiang Xi’s opinion and told him to act, but that had touched Jiang Xi’s reverse scale.
Therefore, after the disagreement in opinion with Huang Tu and negotiating to no avail, Jiang Xi could only choose to terminate the contract. However, Jiang Xi’s penalty fee for contract breach was extremely high. If he took the initiative to terminate the contract, he would not have the funds to set up his own studio.
Moreover, because of Huang Tu’s domineering behavior, Jiang Xi was unwilling to hand himself over to any management company, so the matter of contract termination was delayed.
In her previous life, Jiang Xi did not break away from Huang Tu in the end. After that, Huang Tu even noticed his intention to terminate the contract and Huang Tu even used their power to get him boycotted. They even sent him to the bed of a producer as a gift.
In the end, Jiang Xi couldn’t stand this humiliation and felt that there was no hope, so he committed suicide.
It seemed like this was the time that Jiang Xi and Huang Tu had a conflict..
