Chapter 528: Chapter 528: He Is Huo Xishen
“Oh my gosh, Tao Wei, did that kid commit a crime? We don’t advocate these practices to make money.” Another old lady looked nervous.
“Yes, how can ordinary people earn so much money? It costs a bomb to buy our village. Besides, there are so many, are you lying to us?”
“Old Zhang’s son is said to be running a small business in the city, but I don’t see him earning that much. Is that kid…”
Everyone was asking about Huo Xishen and Tao Wei felt overwhelmed. Indeed, when a group of older people gossip, they are unstoppable.
‘He’s Huo Xishen! Isn’t it normal for Huo Xishen to be mega rich?’
“He runs a business and owns companies all over the country, as well as abroad. He’s the richest man in the country and is a proper businessman. He’s the one who’s investing in our film and those gifts are from him too.”
After saying that, Tao Wei secretly thought to himself, ‘What belongs to Second Young Mistress Huo is Mr. Huo’s too, so Second Young Mistress Huo’s investment is the same as Mr. Huo’s investment.’
The elderly villagers’ expressions became even more exaggerated after hearing those words.
Having lived for decades, they never thought that they would have the opportunity to meet the richest man in the country once.
Yan Jinyi knew that Huo Xishen was a wealthy man’s son who was born with a golden spoon in his mouth. She brought him to the room that she was temporarily staying in and subconsciously patted the chair to gesture for him to take a seat.
“That’s how things are in the village. If you’re bothered by it, you can just leave on your own.”
Huo Xishen glanced around the room to see that the decor was rather simple but tidy. He sat down, placed a hand on his desk, and knocked on it gently as he said in a deep and gentle voice, “Darling, I’ve spent a month living in the wilderness before.”
“Is that so?” Yan Jinyi raised her eyebrows, obviously a little surprised.
“Yes.”
Just as he was about to speak, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Yan Jinyi rarely brought her phone along with her when she went for filming. After taking a look, she realized that she had gotten lots of missed calls.
This time, it was a stranger from Shenyang who called.
After giving it some thought, he answered the call and put it on handsfree too.
Soon, Tang Qing’s unique voice came spreading from the speaker. “Miss Yan, I heard you go injured during filming. You’re an artiste of TG Entertainment and TG Entertainment is subsidiary to the Huo Group. You must have gotten injured because the crew failed to do a good job at preparations.”
After saying that, Tang Qing paused for a moment. “Miss Yan, why don’t you terminate your contract with TG Entertainment and let me pay for the damages for the breach of contract? Come join my company. How does that sound?”
Yan Jinyi puffed her cheeks up without saying anything. Instead, she turned to look at Huo Xishen.
Huo Xishen remained calm with his thin lips pressed together while glancing at the white cell phone in Yan Jinyi’s hand.
“Miss Yan?” Seeing that Yan Jinyi hadn’t replied yet, Tang Qing continued, “Did you pass out? Miss Yan, at a critical juncture, I’m still the most reliable person you can count on. A professional medical team is expected to arrive at the village where you are filming in half an hour. Miss Yan, are you touched? Will you consider divorcing that sly fox Huo Xishen and marrying me instead?”
Huo Xishen finally spoke up. “It seems that you try to seduce my wife very frequently when I’m not around, Mr. Tang.”
Tang Qing was clearly stunned. After a moment of silence, he finally retorted provocatively, “An outstanding and beautiful woman is bound to attract a lot of suitors. I admire Miss Yan so I’ve decided to woo her. What’s wrong with that?”
“As we all know, Mr. Tang, you are born into a family of rogues. It’s better for you to speak like a human.”
Yan Jinyi suddenly felt that Huo Xishen was actually very sharp-tongued even though he usually seemed like a gentlemanly scum.
