"Haven’t heard from her for quite a while, what’s up?"
Director Tang: "She wants to leave the industry."
"Leave the industry?" Yan Yueqing looked at him in shock, "Are you sure it’s Li Manman?"
"I’m sure." Director Tang sounded a bit helpless, "I found it quite unexpected too. After confirming several tis... she truly wants to retire from the industry."
"Are the procedures already underway?"
Director Tang shook his head: "Not yet."
Yan Yueqing pondered: "You’re telling today because you want to persuade her?"
"Not exactly." Director Tang sighed, "Just felt... I should let you know."
Back when Zhongxing needed thorough cleaning, Yan Yueqing had fully supported Li Manman, and now Zhongxing is moving towards a brighter future, yet she’s considering leaving? No matter how you listen to this, it feels odd.
Director Tang isn’t worried about Li Manman leaving the industry, what he’s concerned about is the potential scheming involved.
Yan Yueqing understood: "Alright, I’ll talk to her."
Director Tang nodded: "I’ll go handle work first, see you at the base tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow."
She had plans for the afternoon, initially wanting to grab a bite at the Xingyue cafeteria. But after finalizing her trip to P City, Zhou Jue proactively took over Xingyue’s tasks, letting her breathe a sigh of relief.
When she returned to the manor, a row of kids ran over.
Minister Mu had so family affairs, and two days ago sent soone to bring Mu Nian back. So now, besides her own two kids, there’s Tang Tang and Ji Li, making four little ones.
Aunt Fei, the manor’s chef, whipped up a fantastic al. After the feast, Yan Yueqing gathered the kids in the study.
"I have a last-minute trip to the P City film base for a ribbon-cutting tomorrow. Are you four staying at ho or coming with ?"
Knowing them well, Yan Bao and Tang Bao would likely stick close to her and want to co along. Wang Bao doesn’t particularly enjoy bustling places, but given his short ti back, he probably wouldn’t want to miss being with her.
As for Ji Li... Yan Yueqing isn’t quite familiar with his personality yet.
But with the three little ones going, he’d most likely tag along.
To her surprise, Jun Yan raised his hand first: "Mom, how long will you be gone? If it’s just a day, I won’t go."
Tang Tang followed quickly: "Godmother, I want to stay here and play."
Yan Yueqing was taken aback: "You’re not coming?"
Jun Yan nodded, with a very earnest expression: "Yeah, mom, we’re not going."
Yan Yueqing crouched down, looking at them eye-to-eye: "That’s odd, don’t you all just love the hustle and bustle?"
Jun Yan nestled into her arms, softly whining: "Mom, we have other important things to do, even more than joining the excitent~"
Seeing Yan Yueqing pause, he blinked his beautiful big eyes and sweetly changed his tune, "But if... if mom is going for several days, then I won’t stay ho, I’ll go with you~"
His cheeky comnt made her laugh: "I won’t be gone long. I’ll be back by tomorrow night, are you sure you don’t want to go?"
"Mm mm~" Jun Yan looked confident, as if plotting sothing big.
Tang Tang nodded along.
Yan Wang, dressed in a well-tailored small suit, remained very quiet. His beautiful big eyes seed to harbor unspoken emotions, as if he wanted to say sothing but stopped.
As for Ji Li, he was so silent it was as if he wasn’t there, not paying any attention to the conversation.
"Alright then." Yan Yueqing didn’t force them.
Jun Lii wouldn’t miss such a good chance to be alone and imdiately volunteered: "I’m free tomorrow, I’ll go with you."
Yan Yueqing waved him off decisively: "Better not, you wouldn’t be suitable there."
The ribbon-cutting ceremony at the film base would certainly invite plenty of dia journalists for promotion.
Though the base hasn’t been officially announced, once it goes into use, dia will be invited over to help create buzz.
Tomorrow will surely be lively. She’s the founder of the base, and since the project belongs to Zhongxing, her presence makes perfect sense! But bringing Jun Lii along would be akin to publicly revealing the Jun family’s involvent in the project!
Low profile?
Jun Lii’s deanor hardly suggests he aims to be low-key!
Seeing her purse her lips in thought for a few seconds, Jun Lii chuckled.
He knew exactly what Yueqing was considering.
However, she often tends to overlook her influence.
The Jun family’s current reputation is indeed good, ranking among the top in Hua Country. But compared to the colossal Jiang Family, the Jun Family is insignificant.
Unless Yueqing never ntions the Jiang Family, any slight reveal of her identity would be enough to stun people.
And the Jiang Family, if he rembers correctly, during their last eting, Aunt Jiang had ntioned the notion of "returning to one’s roots."
