Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 470 The Journey to the West

"Boss, if you don't come back soon, I'm going to call the police."

Bai Bing just picked Liu Jing up from the airport. The boss went there on October 28th and returned on November 8th.

The trip was originally scheduled for a week, but it ended up taking eleven days, and there was still no word from them.

She knew what her boss was doing there a few days ago, but his itinerary became increasingly mysterious afterward. He wouldn't reply to her messages, and when she answered the phone, he would only say a few words before hanging up.

This feeling is terrible. The assistant feels insecure, like a wild goose separated from its flock, a lone goose without its mate, a person separated from their loved ones, a pair of ducks without their companion, or a hen that has lost its eggs.

The longer it went on, the more panicked Bai Bing became, imagining all sorts of possible scenarios for her boss.

My boss used to be away from me all the time, but I could always reach him; though we were far apart, we were always close.

Now it's not working. She's restless, has no motivation to work, finds no fun at work, and feels like life is meaningless. She always feels like something is missing.

She went to find Gao Yuanyuan, who knew nothing about Liu Jing's situation over there, but was not worried at all and did not want to ask.

Finally, I couldn't hold back any longer and went directly to Boss Min to apply for a flight to South Korea, worried that the boss might not adapt well to the environment there.

Min comforted her, "Your boss is having a great time over there. His movie is about to start filming, and if you run off again, Yuanyuan won't be able to handle it all by herself."

Bai Bing felt a little relieved, but she still felt that President Min's smile was mysterious. How could he be so carefree and relaxed? Could it be that the boss has entered the jungle of the times?
Now that she felt safe, she became curious about what her boss was doing in South Korea.

Feeling anxious and worried. Thinking it over and over again, full of concerns.

She studied law and often reflected on her recent gains, losses, and state of mind. Suddenly, she realized that she, who had never believed in love, was completely in love.

When she first met the boss, she had ulterior motives; she wanted to take advantage of his position to make a name for herself.

Now that they've gained the advantage, they've lost their heart and can only flit around the boss.

"The police can't handle that area," Liu Jing said lazily. His experiences these past few days had truly been bizarre.

The scene at Li Yinxin's house was full of twists and turns, and it was also the beginning of something mysterious.

The little princess expressed her desire for a child, which was nothing in itself, and Liu Jing wouldn't have been offended by it.

But when she said that, her gaze was so intense that it almost burned through him.

Liu Jing wasn't surprised that Li Yinxin knew about the child; this girl often lurked on the Chinese internet.

He grumbled inwardly, "Sissi, why do you tell your best friend everything? You should be wary of your best friend. It seems you haven't learned your lesson enough."

“Sister Min is Sister Min, and you are you. It’s not the same,” Liu Jing argued dryly.

“We’re all women, what’s the difference? She can give birth at forty, I should be fine at thirty,” Li Yinxin retorted.

"Sigh..." Liu Jing sighed, "It's a long story. My relationship with Zhang Min is really different from yours. She plays many roles in my life; without her help, I wouldn't be where I am today."

To you, I am your savior, I am your friend who has been through thick and thin with you.

But for me, I was just following the system's instructions; we're just good friends.

"You don't think I'm sick or infertile, do you?" Li Yinxin asked suspiciously.

"I don't feel anything." Liu Jing quickly shook his head. This illness is undetectable; even the most skilled traditional Chinese medicine doctor can't diagnose it.

“Oh, so you’re sick…” Li Yinxin concluded immediately.

"You're the one who's sick, I'm perfectly fine," Liu Jing retorted, "We have successful examples," then shook his head and smiled wryly, "Why would I tell you all this?"

"Oh."

“Mengdie, you’re Qianqian’s best friend, you two are good friends, I don’t want to hurt her because of this,” Liu Jing said bluntly. He added that Zhang Min’s values ​​were problematic, and Li Yinxin’s were also problematic. Sleeping with her best friend’s man, and yet she spoke of it so confidently.

“Before I returned to Korea, Sisi was filming scenes in a snow mountain fortress, and we even went snowmobile chasing each other. That day, we visited Banff National Park, and it had just snowed, so the snow was very thick. I mentioned this to her, saying, ‘You have good genes, so your child will definitely be outstanding.’ Sisi pondered for a moment and readily agreed. She also said that Min-jie is now a parenting expert and that I should consult Min-jie more.”

"How could that be?" Liu Jing didn't believe it. Qianqian wasn't that generous. You can't just say one thing and she'll agree to us getting together.

“You’re my good sister, and I want you to be happy. Your situation is a bit special, and having a child definitely requires considering various factors. My husband, Mu Tou, is a good choice; he won’t covet your family’s wealth. But let me make this clear: if you do have a child, don’t get involved in my family’s troubles. Our family is already chaotic enough. If you get involved, we can’t be sisters anymore; we’ll only be enemies. Also, you must keep the child’s father. No one except the three of us, or your father, can know who the father is.” Li Yinxin opened her phone, and Qianqian’s voice rang out.

This is a recording. Facing Liu Jing's unfriendly gaze, Li Yinxin explained, "I know that people in your line of work hate being recorded. This is a recording that Qianqian asked me to make, as a testimony and a warning to me."

Liu Jing sighed, "Qianqian is selling me out like this? I'm a person, not a tool."

He suddenly realized something was wrong. He had used to treat these women as tools, but could they also treat him as a tool?

Because of their deep sisterly bond, Xixi sold him to Li Yinxin.

Some time ago, the assistant sold him to Huo Wenxi because of a producer title.

"Let me make this clear first, this matter cannot be accomplished in one attempt."

"It's okay, just do it, I have a way." Li Yinxin said confidently.

Liu Jing shook his head. Yang Mi had always been confident, but after several years, she hadn't achieved anything. If it weren't for Xiao Xue, Yang Mi would have given up entirely.

Li Yinxin thought Liu Jing was embarrassed, so she smiled slightly and said, "You don't need to move, I'll take care of it. If you feel embarrassed, you can wear an eye mask."

"No need." Liu Jing shook his head even more. Being a seed planter is fine, but if you take the initiative, wouldn't I lose even more face?

He stepped forward, hugged Li Yinxin, and bowed his head to stamp the document.

Li Yinxin's eyes widened, she struggled a few times, and then gave up.

The little princess's bedroom, which she had never allowed outsiders to set foot in, and her bed, which had never been touched by a man, now had a new guest.

"I'm leaving the rest to you. Let's see what you can do." Liu Jing was very curious. Shamanism in South Korea has permeated all levels of society and has formed a huge industry chain. He wondered if they would have to use some kind of means.

“There was a way, after all, South Korea not only has a developed plastic surgery industry, but also excellent medical skills.” Lee Yoon-hyung chuckled twice, then changed the subject, “But now there’s an even better way, and without suffering, you can enjoy it like this…”

"What do you mean?" Liu Jingxin's expression suddenly turned somber as she realized something was wrong.

"So that's how Zhang Min got pregnant. You've put on quite a show for the world. All three are professional actors, winners of Best Actor and Best Actress awards. I never expected the truth to be even more exciting than the movie," Li Yinxin exclaimed.

"Your original plan was to learn from others and then do IVF?" Liu Jing's face turned ugly. This was a huge misunderstanding. No wonder he made me wear a blindfold.

When Li Yinxin mentioned that she was the same as Zhang Min, he never even considered the possibility of IVF. He knew all too well what had happened to Xiaoxue. He assumed Li Yinxin knew the truth and wanted to follow suit. Little did he know that she was indeed following suit, but only the publicly known truth.

Li Yinxin also made some optimizations, not wanting to go to the sperm bank for matching. She believed that Liu Jing's genes were excellent, making him the best person to learn from, and she even consulted Qianqian's opinion.

"It's not like we're really going to do anything," Sisi thought for a moment and then agreed.

Sisi also had her own considerations. If Li Yinxin really did something serious, she couldn't stop her, and she didn't believe that anyone could resist temptation.

Instead of doing that, this seems to solve some problems.

That's how it is. From the very beginning, the two of them were talking over each other, and their conversation flowed perfectly together.

Only after the seam was truly closed did Li Yinxin realize that Liu Jing had misunderstood, but she neither stopped him nor explained, and instead let everything happen as it was.

“I’ve arranged everything for the pilgrim. You’re interested in Run’e, right? I’m going to have her handle it. She’s fresh and delicious, and I specifically picked her out; she was originally meant for you. You know, ever since that incident, I’ve developed androphobia. If a man gets close to me, I get goosebumps all over, I feel extremely uncomfortable, and I even have a somatization reaction,” Li Yinxin explained softly.

"My approach to you wasn't just a simple matter, and I haven't seen any reaction from you."

“Yeah, I was curious too. My body instinctively tried to push you away, but then I found that my body didn’t reject me. Maybe you’re my savior, or maybe I just didn’t see you as a man,” Li Yinxin said with a smile.

"What a disaster!" Liu Jing clutched his hair. How was he going to explain this to Qianqian? He couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River; the only option was to jump into the Yalu River.

"I'll handle things with Xixi; I'll make her happy. Besides, it's just a change in method; the result won't change. She'll care, but not that much." Li Yinxin knew a lot about Liu Jing's romantic history and was also aware of Xixi's situation.

"Ugh……"

"I hope you stay in Seoul for a few more days and tell the public that New Star Films is preparing a film."

"You want to put me under house arrest?"

"You're overthinking it. Today is a safe period. You can leave after the danger period is over."

What else could Liu Jing say? If his birthday wasn't coming up soon, he might have stayed in South Korea for a few more days.

Thinking back on my week in South Korea, it was like being a king. I was waited on hand and foot, and everything I ate, wore, and used was top-notch. I even took so many supplements that I got nosebleeds.

There was also a maidservant who served him diligently and meticulously, even more so than at a high-class brothel. Compared to Lin Zhiling, she was still somewhat immature, but her looks and youthful energy made Liu Jing fall head over heels for her.

Li Yinxin was even jealous; the master's experience points were less than those of the maidservants.

"Ugh……"

A sigh lingered in the car for a long time.

If it weren't for Xixi's phone call, which made him so engrossed in his pleasure that he forgot all about home, Liu Jing would have loved to become Liu Shan (the last emperor of Shu Han).

Filming for "Inception" wrapped up at the end of November, and Sisi originally planned to return to China around the 20th. Now that her scenes have been completed ahead of schedule, she's eager to go back to China to celebrate his birthday.

Liu Jing felt that Qianqian should know by now; the reasons given on the surface could not cover up some of the facts.

"Boss, Ms. Min said you're doing something big in Korea." Bai Bing glanced at her boss's expression. She didn't know how big the matter was, but it was definitely something.

"Yes! New Life Films is going to film a Korean version of 'My Love from the Star.' I'll help them adjust the script and do some preparatory work as well."

Liu Jing wasn't lying; it really happened.

"Didn't we say we'd wait until the domestic version was released, see how it went, and then talk about the Korean version?" Bai Bing asked, surprised. Going back on their word wasn't the boss's style. The boss had said he'd wait before filming "Painted Skin 2," and countless people had approached them, but the answer was always the same: wait.

"I'm planning to start a company that specializes in producing Korean dramas. 'My Love from the Star' is just a trial run. We can't let the Korean wave keep blowing over here and them keep coming here to make money. We'll include some of our own projects in the drama. On the surface, it's Korean style, but at its core, it's Chinese style." Liu Jing considered it for a few days, because of Korean dramas, because of Jang Nara, and because of Im Yoon-ah, and that's how he came up with the idea or made the decision.

"No joint venture?" Bai Bing frowned; this was a risky move.

"Give New Life Film & Television a 30% stake, who do you think is suitable to take charge of this business?"

As soon as Liu Jing finished speaking, Bai Bing answered without hesitation, "Tang Yan."

"Why? Is she naive and innocent?" Liu Jing asked curiously.

"Because she is Yan Huai's person, and she is also your person."

That's absolutely right, and very powerful.

Actually, Liu Jing was inclined towards Yang Mi, which happened to coincide with the recent establishment of his studio.

He had asked Xixi before, and Xixi's answer was also straightforward, the same as Bai Bing's.

But the reason was completely different: because she's my best friend, and because it was her turn.

"I've been away from the country recently, has anything happened?"

"After you left, everything was calm and nothing happened. Movies were released, TV series were broadcast, and the only hot topic was Huayi's IPO." Bai Bing changed the subject, "But the company has a lot of things to do. Young Master Wang set an example, and recently Jiahe's doorstep has been almost worn down."

"What did he do this time?" Liu Jing frowned. Just thinking about Wang Shuo gave him a headache. He was good for nothing but good for doing shady things.

Thanks to Young Master Wang, even Li Yinxin believed he was a "fake father".

"When you went to South Korea, news of his father buying the rights to 'Nie Xiaoqian' spread like wildfire. Distributors in Southeast Asia rushed to Golden Harvest to discuss buying the rights, each offering a higher price than the last." Bai Bing smiled brightly; she was always like this when it came to making money.

"Spread like wildfire?" Liu Jing murmured.

"Sao Yuan deliberately leaked this; she's in charge of Golden Harvest's distribution business. Boss Wang's purchase of the Australian rights gave her the idea. Your Sao Yuan is cunning; she arranged for shills in advance, but they were basically useless. These distributors are offering even higher prices than the shills. 'The Message' has now grossed 540 million at the box office, breaking records again. In Taiwan, it grossed over 150 million New Taiwan Dollars in half a month. In Hong Kong, it grossed over 20 million Hong Kong Dollars in just over 20 days. Although it's not doing well in Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, this is 'Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio,' which has a better market than 'The Message.' The enthusiasm of these distributors has exceeded the company's expectations." Bai Bing became more and more excited as she spoke, almost swaying the steering wheel.

"How enthusiastic are they?" Liu Jing asked curiously.

“Boss, I’ll show you the information when we get back. You’ll be absolutely shocked. Chen Jiashang and Xu Ke have been working like crazy lately, actively preparing for ‘Nie Xiaoqian.’ Especially Chen Jiashang, he almost dropped the ‘Painted Skin’ TV series.” Bai Bing’s smile was brighter than the sunshine today. She was the co-producer of this film.

If she had known that "Nie Xiaoqian" would be so popular, she really wouldn't have cared about the empty title of producer of "The Myth 2".

"Has filming started for the TV series?"

"Hmm! Boss, don't be scared when you get to the company tomorrow. Directors Jiang Wen, Stanley Tong, and Wang Jing have been asking you every day when you're coming back, wanting to learn from you about publicity strategies."

"No experience."

Bai Bing blinked her big eyes. Why was the boss reacting so strongly?
