Mysterious Assistant of the Washed-Up Queen

After leaving the room, Wei Liangxiao was also a bit angry. He was already in his thirties, yet his own dad still treated him like a child, giving him no face at all. Who wouldn't be angry in his shoes?

"Dad, you went too far! I had so many friends there. Who does that, coming up and twisting someone's ear right away?"

Wei Chuan turned his head and gave him a sideways glance, then patted his head, annoyed, as he said, "Enough already. You're this old and still such a handful. I won't twist it next time. First, I have a few things to ask you."

"What's so important that you had to ask me out here?"

Wei Liangxiao knew his own father well. He wasn't an idiot. He had noticed his father's strange behavior earlier, so he wasn't surprised at all.

"Well, about that Chu, President Chu of your company... tell me about him in detail."

The moment he heard it was about Chu Tian, Wei Liangxiao's interest was immediately piqued. He looked at Wei Chuan with a sly smile and said, "What's up, Dad? Don't tell me you want to join our company too? That'd be great! If you come over, we'd be colleagues, right? Then we could treat each other as equals, couldn't we? Brother Wei, when do you plan on coming over?"

Seeing Wei Liangxiao's cheeky grin as he raised an arm to sling around his shoulder, Wei Chuan kicked him sharply and said, "You little rascal, are you trying to start a rebellion? Still want to be my equal? You think you can take a beating?"

After reprimanding his son, Wei Chuan didn't waste any more time. "I hear this President Chu of yours is quite talented. Tell me about your company. Do you have any plans to make movies? Has President Chu ever written a film script?"

Hearing Wei Chuan's questions, Wei Liangxiao immediately understood what he was getting at.

Come to think of it, Dad hasn't made a film in half a year, has he? His last few movies either had poor reviews or bad box office results. In Dad's own words, he'd hit a bottleneck and needed to 'polish his skills.' Rushing things wouldn't produce good work. Actually, wasn't it just a lack of good scripts? Looks like he's got his eye on my boss. Well, 'got his eye on him' might be too strong. At most, he's just a little intrigued, right?

However, Wei Liangxiao did know a bit about the company, especially that it was initially established for IP operations. They might not have much else, but the company certainly had a lot of copyrights. As for whether they'd produce TV series or movies, he wasn't really sure. But from his previous conversations with Chu Tian or Hou Yichuan, he could clearly sense that both of them had great ambitions. It was just that their current resources weren't sufficient. Once they were, making movies would be inevitable.

Since that was the case, giving Dad a heads-up wasn't a big deal. It wasn't a secret or anything that needed to be kept confidential. At most, it would just be an interested party paying a little attention. Besides, it was keeping business within the family.

So, he told Wei Chuan what he knew, which wasn't much—just that the company had copyright reserves and intended to make movies.

Wei Chuan nodded in understanding. Then, with a thoughtful expression, he said, "In that case, go ask your President Chu if he has any films he wants to make. Let me know afterward, and I'll see if I'm interested."

Seeing his father's pretentious act, Wei Liangxiao secretly curled his lip, feeling critical. Still putting on airs like this. He's really good at posturing. But this was his own father. He didn't dare say too much, or he'd surely get a beating—so he could only agree obediently.

Just then, the two people they had been waiting for finally arrived, fashionably late. Upon entering, they immediately saw Wei Liangxiao and his father talking.
