    The voice on the other end was silent for a fraction of a second, before steadily replying, “I know.”


    He paused before adding, “Don’t worry.”


    Those simple words from him were like an anchor for her. Immediately, it stilled the wild thumping of her heart.


    She drew a deep breath and spoke, “Okay. Where are you?”


    “At a business meeting,” his answer was concise.


    “And is it going well? Qiao Lian asked casually.


    Then she heard the ring of soft, deepughtering from the other end. After a pause, he said, “Xiao Qiao, are you worrying that I won’t be able to feed the family?”


    She kept silent at his teasing and hung her head with a disheartened smile.


    He had thrown out 50 million without batting an eyelid.


    She was moved by his love and friendship.


    She cleared her throat and looked up. “It’s okay. If a timees that you can’t feed the family, I’ll work and keep you well-fed.”


    “I have to say I’m grateful to my great wifey.”


    She found herself turning bright scarlet at his teasing remark as she walked down the street.


    She lifted her hand to touch her burning cheeks.


    Great wifey.


    Why did those words make her feel so shy all of a sudden?


    She looked ahead, her vision unfocused and distracted. “You keep working then, I’ll hang up now.”


    “Ok.”


    In the top management meeting at the office.


    Shen Liangchuan was standing at the corridor. The smile on his face vanished at once the moment he hung up.


    Song Cheng stood behind him, frowning as he reported, “The two artists with whom we signedst month have asked for termination of their contracts. I’ve done some asking around. They’ve been poached by a newly-established entertainmentpany called NQ. They paid a high price and indicated that they would aggressively promote the artists.”


    Upon hearing this, Shen Liangchuan’s expression darkened.


    NQ.


    Nan. Qiao.


    He cast his gaze down to hide the mockery in his eyes.


    Indeed, Lu Nanze was aggressive. It had only been a few days, but he had already set up apany?


    Nodding, Shen Liangchuan said, “We won’t keep people who have no loyalty. But make sure they pay their full penalty.”


    Song Cheng nodded to show he understood, however, he had a worried expression. “But what should we do now?”


    They only had a few artists under their belt.


    It was extremely pitiful.


    Shen Liangchuan thought for a moment before he said, “I recall that Mo Xicheng’s contract is about to expire.”


    Song Cheng’s eyes lit up.


    At this point, his cell phone suddenly rang.


    He picked up the line, spoke respectfully for a short while and then hung up the line with a heavy expression on his face. He looked at Shen Liangchuan and said, “We’re finished! The investor that we struck a deal with two weeks ago wishes to withdraw their capital now. At the moment, we don’t have much cash flow. We were depending on the money from this investor to pay our staff’s sries.”


    The 50 million they had had initially were Shen Liangchuan’s personal funds and they were meant to go into investing in thepany. However, it had now been used to pay the costly penalty for terminating his filming contract.


    This had caused a shortage in thepany’s cash flow.


    And now, disastrous consequences were striking them.


    Song Cheng sighed. He looked up and nced at Shen Liangchuan, but saw that there had been no change in his expression.


    Song Cheng cleared his throat. “If we can’t resolve this... Shall we ask the Shen Family to invest?”


    At this suggestion, Shen Liangchuan looked up and gave him a deadpan look.


    Song Cheng immediately lowered his gaze when his eyes met with Shen Liangchuan’s. “Forget what I just said.”
