At ten o'clock in the morning, the president's office of Tangxi Media.
"Jingjing, we are short of funds for our new movie. Go and ask Shen Aotian for a few billion!" A voluptuously curvaceous woman with large wavy hair walked through the door. She was another partner in Tangxi Media and Tang Jing's best friend, Zhou Xige.
"Do you think a few billion is just a few bucks? My relationship with him hasn't reached a point where I can borrow billions from him!" Tang Jing glanced at her, and said disgruntledly.
"You've been sharing a bed with him for three years, and you still can't solidify the relationship, look at your unambitious self!" Zhou Xige glared at her disapprovingly.
Three years ago, Tang Jing's grandfather suddenly passed away. Her biological father contested with her for the right to run the company, which led Tang Media to the brink of bankruptcy.
At that critical juncture, Tang Jing didn't ask Shen Aotian for help.
Zhou Xige couldn't stand by and watch, she resigned and invested in Tang Media with the dowry her mother gave her, helping Tang Jing regain control of the company. Tang Jing voluntarily renamed Tang Media to Tangxi Media.
Now, the mere lack of funds for a new movie has her pulling in investments, rather than asking Shen Aotian for help.
Tang Jing casually suggested while supporting her cheek with one hand. "Or, I can just kick Shen Aotian out. You can find me a rich guy to invest in our new movie?"
"Worn out, aged, and with a hot temper, what rich man would dare to take you? If you really divorce Shen Aotian, I'll support you with both hands and feet! Take half of his property, wouldn't you have money for filmmaking?" Zhou Xige said excitedly.
Tang Jing feigned anger and retorted, "I'm only 26, how am I 'worn out'?"
"Should I take you to the dojo to see the fresh young faces? Full of clean-cut, beautiful 16-17 year olds, with faces so attractive, you can't tell their gender. Do you still think you are young? If you want to divorce, you should do it soon. Drag it on for a few more years and you will be thirty." Zhou Xige mercilessly retorted.
Tang Jing laughed self-deprecatingly. "These three years as Mrs. Shen was indeed frustrating. But I, surprisingly, do not want to give my place to Qin Lanxin!"
"It's just a man, is he worth it?" Zhou Xige put away the documents, knocked on the table, and smiled ingratiatingly. "Can you temporarily foster Xiaomi and Xiaochiwen for a few months while I'm away on a business trip?"
"Zhou Xige, your taste is truly unique, even keeping earthworms?" Tang Jing was amazed. "Xiao Mi eats cat food, may I ask, what do earthworms eat, mud?"
"They eat meat!" Long Jianqiu suddenly popped out from behind the couch.
Only then did Tang Jing notice that there was an additional person in the office.
Her gaze settled on Long Jianqiu's face, feeling at first glance that the boy in front of her had very fair skin, the kind of clean whiteness.
His hair was very short, jet black and shiny, and his facial features were as finely carved.
His black eyes were clear and bright, and underneath his tall nose, his lips were thin. The line of his chin was exceptionally aesthetically pleasing.
"This young man, he’s very good looking!" Tang Jing couldn't help but exclaim, lightly nudging Zhou Xige, "Your new flame?"
Zhou Xige glanced at her, "Can you talk properly?"
"Where did he have his face done?" Tang Jing immediately stood up, deciding to take a closer look.
Today, Tang Jing wore a navy blue suit with the button just below her full chest, paired with a white shirt inside.
She wore a high waist fishtail skirt that perfectly highlighted her figure, and the endless possibilities of her long legs, coupled with the high heels she wore...
The rhythmic sound of her high heels increasingly neared, heading towards Long Jianqiu.
Facing Tang Jing's inquisitive gaze, Long Jianqiu curved the corner of his lips and proudly said: "My face was done when I was still in my mother's belly."
His voice was incredibly clear, very pleasing to the ears.
Especially when he smiled, his cheeks revealed a shallow dimple, very pleasant to the eyes.
Tang Jing leaned close to his face, and Long Jianqiu felt his heart racing. Just as he thought she was about to kiss him, she suddenly straightened her waist and distanced herself, "No signs of plastic surgery, Princess, you've got good taste this time!"
Zhou Xige was momentarily astounded, "He is my younger brother, Long Jianqiu."
"I am Little Earthworm!" Long Jianqiu cheekily shrugged and added, "Also, I don't eat dirt!"
"Hehe..." Tang Jing felt so embarrassed, "What on earth have I done?"
She knew Zhou Xige had a half-brother, but she never expected him to be so handsome!
"Your mother's remarriage has significantly improved the genes, he's better looking than you!" Tang Jing whispered into Zhou Xige's ear.
"I am also very pretty, okay!" Zhou Xige glared at her and asked again hesitantly, "I trust you with Little Cutie and Little Earthworm while I'm away on business for three months, will that be okay?"
"No problem!" Tang Jing locked her gaze on Long Jianqiu's face, her inner talent scout surfacing, "Little Earthworm, do you want to make a debut? Sister can help you!"
"Is your friend trying to bed me in exchange for making my debut?" Long Jianqiu crossed his arms protectively in front of his chest, as if Tang Jing were a predatory female.
"You're overthinking, she is into older men and is already married. Her husband could mistreat her a thousand times, and she would still adore him. So, you can completely relax!" Zhou Xige patted Long Jianqiu's shoulder reassuringly.
"A devoted little wife?" Long Jianqiu tilted his head and squinted at her.
Tang Jing felt a surge of heartache at his words.
She is indeed a devoted wife!
"Such a pity, Shen Aotian prefers innocent women. There's no future in being devoted!" Zhou Xige shook her head and left with her documents.
At the sight of her leaving, a shadow passed across Tang Jing's face. Just then, her phone rang - it was Shen Aotian!
"What is it?" Tang Jing managed to calm herself and answered the phone with a cool composure.
"Today is Friday!" Shen Aotian's voice came through the phone.
Tang Jing laughed bitterly at herself; at least Shen Aotian remembered their premarital agreement to have dinner at home every Friday and not to sleep out.
"I got it. I will go home early." After Tang Jing hung up the phone, her gaze fell on the handsome young man sitting on the sofa, "Little Earthworm, Sister will treat you to dinner tonight!"
