Chapter 404: Chapter 245: New Year’s Recording Ends, Rushing Back to Xinghai Overnight, Only Consistent Effort Can Move a Royal Sister_4
For instance, if you grasp the opportunity during the Spring Festival Gala’s branch venue, you have it; if you hesitate, you won’t know when the next chance will be.
Life’s choices… sotis they can be pretty helpless.
But all in all, the three of them, including the people around them, are moving in a positive direction. That’s enough; gains and losses will only lead to pain.
He is a pragmatist, focusing only on the present.
After waiting for about half an hour, Pei Muchan’s video call ca through. After connecting, he saw her weaving through the crowd, likely having just left the studio.
They chatted briefly before hanging up, waiting for her to return to the hotel before she called again.
“Did everything go smoothly today?”
“Yeah, it went pretty smoothly.” Pei Muchan nodded as she packed her things, with her suitcase laid open on the floor, “We finished recording everything this evening; I’ll be leaving soon.”
Xu Qingyan, following the cara, caught a glimpse of her intimate wear in the suitcase and couldn’t help but look away.
“Why the rush?”
“Sothing happened here; there was a breakfast delivery at the door this morning.” Pei Muchan spoke calmly, her voice betraying no hint of urgency.
“Hm, then what?”
“I didn’t order it. He Xiu always did, but we specifically canceled the breakfast the night before the recording.” Pei Muchan finished packing her clothes, “But the next day, there was a breakfast outside the door of both my and her rooms.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Qingyan was taken aback for a few seconds, his pupils constricting.
“Soone deliberately left it there?”
“Seems like it. At noon, there was even a boxed lunch sent over from the director team.” Pei Muchan continued to pack her luggage, her voice sowhat elusive in the room.
“I didn’t eat it, nor did I let He Xiu eat it; in any case, we’re leaving right after the recording.”
“Where are you now? Have you bought your plane ticket?” Xu Qingyan began to feel anxious. Normally, it could be a coincidence or a misunderstanding, but he couldn’t afford to take that risk.
“I bought a ticket last minute; I’ll be taking a taxi in five minutes.” Pei Muchan seed to sense his mood and reassured him, “It’s nothing, there’s a direct route from the hotel to the airport.”
If it had been Xu Qingyan dealing with this situation, he wouldn’t have been afraid at all. He would even spend money to find out what was going on, and if there was foul play involved, he would make sure to uncover it.
But if sothing like this happened to Pei Muchan, and he was so far away and without friends in Xiangnan, then he would be quite powerless.
Without figuring it out, he couldn’t just call the police, although it wasn’t an option…
This was also why Xu Qingyan had decided to start a film and television company; songwriting didn’t make much money. In many respects, it fell short; facing situations like this left him at a loss.
What’s the use of having money? It’s nothing but a wealthier family.
He had to get onto the poker table, beco one of the big sharks of capital, and have his own influence. Possessing a gem incurs cri; if he couldn’t even protect the person he cared about, what was the point of accumulating wealth?
In that mont, he even thought about making money fast, a large sum of it. Then he’d rally the young and strong of his southern clansn village, get them insured, and start making money.
Being taken advantage of while having money, should they not band together rather than waiting to be hit?
Beat the hell out of them, let them learn a lesson they won’t forget.
Xu Qingyan quickly cald down, “Can you keep your phone on from now on? I’m heading to the airport now, I’ll be in Xinghai to pick you up.”
“No need, I have work tomorrow.” Pei Muchan comforted him, whooshing as she lifted her suitcase, “It might be an overreaction, and I’m leaving now anyway.”
“I can take a leave of absence, don’t worry about it.” Xu Qingyan cut in.
In reality, these past few days the director team was very busy, with the end of the month approaching. There was too much to handle, even Gan Wenchang could only squeeze out a day to take leave.
In a few days, at the start of January, the central broadcast van would arrive at the Chang’an branch venue.
Actors from all over would start arriving at the branch venue one after another, preparing unified rehearsals with the central broadcast team; they might rehearse three to five tis in total.
From around January 20th until the beginning of February, which is the Eve of the Lunar New Year.
But ti is like a sponge, there’s always so to be found when squeezed.
He didn’t know if there would still be flights at this hour, but he spoke up anyway. Fortunately, he managed to buy a ticket, hailed a cab, and rushed to the airport, with Pei Muchan doing the sa.
Their flights took off at different tis, with approximately the sa duration; Pei Muchan would arrive first.
On the way, there were no issues on Pei Muchan’s end. She packed up and left the hotel in a taxi, using her Bluetooth headset to keep the conversation going with Xu Qingyan.
Not until she was nearly boarding the plane did they finally hang up, after several hours of back and forth.
Xinghai.
Pei Muchan was the first to get ho, while Xu Qingyan didn’t arrive until almost dawn.
Knowing that Pei Muchan was safe, he didn’t go through the underground parking to sneak in, but instead imdiately headed upstairs. He started calling her from the gates of the complex.
He looked up at the dimly lit complex and said.
“Co downstairs, pick up.”
“Okay, got it.”
Actually, from the mont Pei Muchan boarded the plane, the safety alarm had already been lifted. If it were soone else, they might already be relaxing, perhaps even having booked their return ticket.
He didn’t relax, instead, he first contacted Gan Wenchang to cover for him there. Most work-related issues were recorded by him, and Gan Wenchang could handle them following the process.
Gan Wenchang was confused, “Boss, what’s this about… waking people up in the middle of the night?”
“I’ve got sothing going on, just got to Xinghai,” he said.
“What?” For Gan Wenchang, sleep was suddenly out of the equation as he rubbed his eyes in bed, “We just had dinner together this afternoon, where are you saying you are now?”
“Xinghai.”
“Aren’t we still before New Year’s eve? Damn, dude, did you just ti travel?” Gan Wenchang life questioning, “You an to say, you are in Xinghai?”
