Chapter 49 Invitation
Chapter 49 Invitation
"The Blood Sea seems to have undergone some unknown changes because of the existence of the Dragon Ball."
Xia Xue sensed that this change was for the better, so she stopped paying attention to it.
"In addition, the Dragon Balls can also suppress the flow of fortune."
From now on, it will be impossible for others to use feng shui formations or other methods to absorb her luck as they did last night.
"The harvest is complete."
Xia Xue turned her head to look in the direction of the island in the middle of the lake.
"Next up is the feng shui formation."
She doesn't have the habit of staying in someone else's home turf.
……
Around 8 a.m.
Xia Xue yawned and walked downstairs.
"Good morning, Father; good morning, Eldest Sister; good morning, Yao Yao."
Xia Xue walked into the restaurant and saw that everyone was there except for Shen Weiyi, who spent all her time in the laboratory. She yawned and greeted them.
Seeing Xia Xue yawning repeatedly, Xia Jun teased, "Why do you always look so sleepy? Are you busy saving the world at night?"
Xia Xue pouted.
She's much busier at night than during the day.
Especially last night, she was so busy that she barely slept.
However, the harvest was excellent.
It's worth the hard work to achieve this.
"Father, is this the only house we own? Can't we live anywhere else? Do we have to live in Jingyuan?"
After Xia Xue sat down, she nodded her thanks to Zhang Ma and then asked while fiddling with the bowls and chopsticks.
Xia Jun was puzzled: "Isn't Jingyuan nice? What's wrong, are you uncomfortable living here?"
Xia Xue picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful of rice porridge, blew on it, took a sip, nodded, gave Zhang Ma a thumbs-up again, and then said, "It's nothing, just asking."
Xia Jun always felt that Xia Xue wasn't the type of person to ask such questions casually.
"We own quite a few properties, but we live in Jingyuan because Jingyuan is different from other places; many of our business partners live here."
Thinking of the East Suburbs Horse Ranch, that's Jingyuan's property.
However, the horse farm in the eastern suburbs was managed by Xia Jun's men.
Xia Xue said thoughtfully, "Is Jingyuan another group that Father secretly controls?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Jun paused for a moment, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
Xia Xue is such a bright child; she understands things instantly.
Xia Jun shook his head and smiled, "You can't say that outside. Jingyuan belongs to everyone. Everything I do is to protect the interests of Jingyuan."
That sounds like just polite talk.
Xia Xue pretended not to hear, picked up a steamed bun, tore off a piece, ate some vegetables with her chopsticks, and put the bun in her mouth. While chewing, she nodded perfunctorily and mumbled, "I know."
After all that talk, it all boils down to one sentence.
The interests involved are too great; we can't move it.
Seeing that the conversation had ended, Xia Yao casually said, "I've already taken care of things with the clan. If they cause trouble again, just come to me and I'll handle it."
Xia Xue blinked and nodded, saying, "Okay."
Xia Yao acted as if she hadn't said anything at all, and then casually started drinking her porridge.
Xia Jue glanced at Xia Yao and shook his head.
Her proud and arrogant younger sister.
Xia Jue said directly, "Xiao Xue, since you don't have anything to do anyway, why don't you come to Black Shield with me today?"
Xia Xue looked at Xia Jue with a suspicious gaze.
"Big sister, I have a feeling you have ulterior motives."
Xia Jue's smile froze.
How come Xia Xue's senses are so sharp?
Are these people from the Xuanmen sect?
How terrifying.
Xia Jun glanced at Xia Jue and shook his head: "Xiao Xue, if you're free, go visit A Jue. You can shoot guns there."
Upon hearing this, Xia Xue's eyes lit up, and she immediately replied, "Okay!"
She's really interested in playing with guns.
Xia Jue was stunned and secretly gave Xia Jun a thumbs up.
Xia Jun gave her a basic, nonchalant look, letting her figure it out herself.
Xia Yao took in everything and muttered something under her breath.
"childish."
With Xia Xue's keen hearing and observation skills, she naturally saw through everything. However, she always just laughed off anything that posed no threat to her.
Just then, Xia Xue's phone rang.
"Lu Yuan?"
Xia Xue glanced at the number and raised an eyebrow.
He swallowed what was in his mouth, got up, went outside, and answered the phone.
"Xiaoxue, what happened next?"
As expected, Lu Yuan's first words were exactly what she had anticipated.
Xia Xue chuckled and shook her head: "Did you call just to ask me to gossip?"
Lu Yuan chuckled twice: "I couldn't help myself for a moment. I won't do it again next time. By the way, I have something important to discuss with you. How's the short drama project you mentioned going?"
Xia Xue was surprised that Lu Yuan was even more enthusiastic than her.
It's currently being prepared.
Lu Yuan said bluntly, "Don't try to fool me, I want to know the specific progress."
Xia Xue shrugged and said, "The director and company have been confirmed, and we are currently selecting an IP."
Lu Yuan bluntly exposed, "I'm the director, right? And the company is your Chenxi Entertainment, right? So you haven't prepared anything yet?"
Xia Xue smiled and said, "Do you know the traditions of our Xia family?"
Lu Yuan paused for a moment, then asked, "What tradition?"
Xia Xue cleared her throat and said, "Leave professional matters to the professionals. We're only responsible for providing the money and looking at the results."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan remained silent for a long time before saying, "Alright, based on what you just said, this collaboration is settled."
Xia Xue blinked, not expecting Xia Jun's words to be so impactful.
Hmm, it seems doing business isn't so difficult after all.
Lu Yuan said decisively, "Let's finalize the cooperation today. I'll be waiting for you at Gu Garden."
"Gu Garden?"
Xia Xue had just mentioned Jingyuan when she quickly thought of another function of Guyuan.
Is this yet another business alliance named after a villa district?
Lu Yuan's tone was unusually displeased, and she coughed twice to explain.
"I have some things to discuss today, so I stayed at Gu Garden yesterday."
Lu Yuan, Gu Yuan.
Lu, Gu.
Xia Xue instantly understood.
"Did you go see Wei-liao, the person who proposed, yesterday?"
Lu Yuan's tone suddenly became urgent.
"Don't make wild guesses, I really have something to do."
Xia Xue thought of the title of the work and roughly guessed what it was about. She smiled and shook her head, saying, "I'm not guessing. I'm not interested in your private life. See you at Gu Garden."
Xia Xue returned to the restaurant with a smile on her face, as if she had just finished eating melon.
Xia Jun asked curiously, "Whose call was it?"
Xia Xue replied, "Lu Yuan, she agreed to cooperate with me, and we've scheduled a signing ceremony for later."
Xia Jun wiped his hands and said, "Do you need me to arrange legal services for you?"
Xia Xue thought for a moment and said, "We don't need it for now. It's probably just a letter of intent. The formal contract will probably take some time."
Xia Xue didn't think Lu Yuan would call her specifically for a short drama.
Xia Xue is a very insightful child.
Xia Jun gave Xia Xue an appreciative look and said, "Call me if you need anything."
Xia Xue nodded.
Xia Jue became anxious upon hearing this.
"Xiaoxue, didn't you promise me you'd go to Black Shield? Why did you change your mind?"
Xia Xue looked at Xia Jue, confused: "Didn't you say you were 'fine' and going to Black Shield? I was 'fine' just now, but now I'm 'in trouble'."
Xia Jue wished she could slap her own mouth, which had caused all this trouble, a few times.
Why would she say something like that just because she's so concerned about saving face?
Now look what's happened; the cooked duck has flown away.
Xia Yao turned her head to face Xia Jue and muttered something under her breath.
"Serves you right."
