Chapter 174: Your Male Assistant in Harmony

Since He Zhou had to stay in the capital to follow up on Xiao Yuan's issues, who should accompany Tang Fei to Qinxi for the filming of "Foster Mother"?

Xing Le? No way, he was like a ticking time bomb; who knew if he would hold a grudge?

Guan Mo? After the threat was lifted, he was as idle as a sloth; his presence would make no difference. A definite no! He could stay in the capital to act as a liaison between He Zhou and Mo Yin.

Zheng Haisheng? Not possible; Zhou Weichuan had just taken over Nine O'Clock, and the company still relied on him.

After considering all options, it seemed that the big boss, Zhou Weichuan, had to take charge personally.

What? If Zheng Haisheng was indispensable, why wasn't Zhou Weichuan?

Zheng Haisheng hastily asked, "Boss, if you go, what about the company's affairs?"

Zhou Weichuan picked up his ticket, grabbed his suitcase, and headed for the company entrance. "Let He Zhou be involved in Time Culture's management; you oversee it. The Nine O'Clock studios will be under the directors' control, so we don't need to intervene. You'll handle resource integration and internal coordination. Report directly to me on the 'Journey to the West' project. For public relations and marketing outside of artists, consult my father.

Each department will have its own leader handling their tasks."

Zheng Haisheng pleaded his case, "Boss, I'm just your assistant. If you do this, you have to promote me!"

Zhou Weichuan had already stepped out the door, his voice echoing, "Find another position to double up on yourself. Assistants can't shirk their duties."

Zhou Weichuan's deliberate exclusion of others as he accompanied Tang Fei on the flight was clearly self-serving.

On the large lawn outside the Zhou family villa, Zhou Xianfeng was riding his bicycle, playing a game of chase with Doudou. Xing Le, crouching by the side of the grass, said disheartened, "Old man, you've handed the family business over to Zhou Weichuan, and he'll sooner or later squander it all on that little star. Now you're sending him off to Qinxi alone.

Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

I can't even get close to Tang Fei to complete Sister Yi's mission!

As Xing Le finished speaking, Doudou, who had been chasing Zhou Xianfeng, turned its head and rushed towards Xing Le at high speed. It then pounced on him with a face-sitting landing. "Woof woof!"

Zhou Xianfeng stopped his bike. The nanny brought over a towel, and Zhou Xianfeng wiped his sweat, saying, "Your brother has always said I micromanage too much. He wants to fully mobilize the initiative of middle managers and delegate authority. Recognizing and utilizing talent is a leader's skill; personally getting involved is only suitable for small workshops with few people. Let's see how he messes things up – it's not like I can control him now anyway. As for that little star, I trust that Weichuan knows his limits."

"Who's your brother? Old man, my surname is Xing, his is Zhou.

How can there be any sense of propriety when the master is crooked? It'll all come crashing down sooner or later." Xing Le tried to push away Doudou, but the dog wagged its tail and tugged at his sleeve with its teeth, pulling him towards the lawn.

Xing Le tried to pry its mouth open with his hand, his body involuntarily following along. "This shirt was a gift from someone else, let go quickly."

It's a present from Sister Yi, don't damage it.

Doudou grew even more excited, wagging its tail happily. Zhou Xianfeng nodded. "Yes, you're indeed surnamed Xing. So what's the problem with me entrusting my business to your brother?"

Xing Le: "..."

...

On the plane, Tang Fei lay back in her seat, stretching her shoulders and neck. She held the outline of the college entrance exam key points and recited them aloud according to the list, with the completed test papers from yesterday beside her.

Zhou Weichuan sat down on her left and asked, "Studying so diligently? During the college entrance exam period, you were on set. Did that have any impact on these two aspects?"

Tang Fei looked up at him and made a slicing motion with her hand. "Of course it had an impact, but I'll eliminate that influence."

At this moment, Tang Fei was staring at the over three hundred fortune bags. If she opened them all at once, she should be able to obtain many Vitality Pills and Time Cards.

She had to rely on time to accumulate.

In fact, she could have entered the Time Palace to eliminate the effects of time, where time was infinite. However, after entering the Happiness Hotel scenario once, she subconsciously resisted going in again.

This aversion was hard for her to describe, but she no longer felt as close to the system from the bottom of her heart.

Tang Fei: "The chairman is personally overseeing me – I'm truly honored."

Zhou Weichuan: "The partner is still filming, so isn't it just part of the company's tradition for the chairman to accompany? We're all on the front lines together."

Zhou Weichuan's recent behavior always made Tang Fei's heart race and her cheeks flush. She found herself thinking about him more than usual.

Was he flirting? There was a layer of uncertainty she wanted to break through, but she was always afraid that doing so would ruin their friendship.

They still had to work together for a long time. If things became awkward, they'd constantly run into each other – that would be problematic.

So, were they playing with ambiguity?

Interpreted earnestly, wouldn't they both be labeled as unscrupulous individuals?

Was she leading him on, or was he leading her on?

In a way, weren't two scoundrels a perfect match for each other?

A fleeting smile tugged at the corners of Tang Fei's lips, but she quickly suppressed it. She was out of her mind! Rolling her eyes at herself, Tang Fei realized she was even finding sweetness in this situation.

Shaking off those chaotic thoughts, she changed the subject. "Are you against me using company resources to help Xiao Yuan?"

Zhou Weichuan replied, "From a corporate standpoint, I think you're acting impulsively. But as a partner, you have the right to do so, and I won't stand in your way.

Some ventures with both potential failure and success are acceptable.

If you can successfully lift her up, then you can do whatever you want in the future. I'll handle the board of directors and shareholders."

Tang Fei continued, "I sued the company first because I suspect that Xiao Yuan's company was colluding with her parents and brother. The forty million debt might be part of a joint scheme. I believe they wouldn't fall for such a trap under normal circumstances."

Xiao Yuan had never been a top-tier celebrity, nor had she starred in major film productions. Her family had no prior experience with film projects. Why would the company blindly invest 40 million based on her parents' suggestion? What was so worthwhile about investing in this?

Perhaps Xiao Yuan didn't want to suspect her own parents, but to me, this is a glaring red flag. There must be an inside connection at play."

Zhou Weichuan: "It's indeed suspicious, so you plan to sue the company first, guiding public suspicion towards them and preventing them from preparing their defense. This would facilitate evidence gathering."

Tang Fei: "You read me like an open book."

Zhou Weichuan: "Not only did I read you, but I also helped you orchestrate a public relations move."

Zhou blinks. Am I not considerate?

Activate the mode of the Chairman's devoted assistant.

It seems that you're looking for a continuation or a specific context to provide an elegant and appropriate English translation. Please offer more lines or the surrounding context from the novel so I may assist you with a precise and nuanced translation.

Xiao Yuan had cultivated an image of purity and cuteness in the public eye. When photographs surfaced across media outlets showing her in an intimate embrace with a portly, middle-aged man, it sent shockwaves through both the entertainment industry and the general public.

Within the circle, people sympathetically viewed Xiao Yuan as having offended someone and not caring for herself, a somewhat pitiful situation. Outside the circle, however, Xiao Yuan was seen as shamelessly clinging to wealthy sponsors, which was considered disgusting.

A significant portion of her fans had turned against her, bashing her relentlessly. Only a small fraction remained steadfast, arguing, "Is it not allowed to fall in love? One can still be in a relationship despite being unattractive or old!"

The incident was already explosive enough, but it escalated even further when Xiao Yuan entrusted her lawyer to file a lawsuit against the company, seemingly implicating that her own agency was behind the sabotage.

Someone had also captured a blurry video, showing Xiao Yuan accompanied by her pudgy boss, with an assistant and agent trailing behind.

Didn't the company know about this?

Was there some shady underbelly involved?

Public opinion swirled tumultuously. Gao Mang, upon reading these revelations, threw his phone in a fit of rage. "Stupid pigs! They're not satisfied with taking money from me and went after Xiao Yuan too. Posting those photos to ruin her, do they think they can still get their hands on the cash after destroying her career?

Working with such people is far too risky."

Turning to his assistant, Gao Mang asked, "Where's Xiao Yuan? Have you been able to reach her?"

Assistant: "Brother Mang, no luck. We can only contact her lawyer whom she has appointed."

Gao Mang: "Why has she suddenly become so resolute? Tell her if we can settle this privately. Is she going to ignore her parents' debts? I can give her more time. Lately, the pressure's been intense; I'll let her take a break when she returns."

Assistant: "How should we address the online public sentiment regarding the accusations of us selling celebrities?"

Gao Mang: "Didn't her fans say it's a normal relationship? Since they've caught us together, we might as well play along and say it's a normal relationship. It's fortunate that he's divorced; otherwise, there would be an affair scandal involving a minor."

Please get in touch with Mr. Du and issue a statement acknowledging Xiao Yuan as your romantic partner. Then, in two months' time, arrange a 'breakup.'

Assistant: "Certainly."
