Andrew arrived at the office and immediately got a call from Ethan. "Hello."
"Feeling sober now?" Ethan teased over the phone.
"If you have something to say, say it. If not, I'm hanging up," Andrew said impatiently.
Hearing that tone, Ethan thought to himself: looks like this guy isn't fully sober yet.
"There must be something. Otherwise, why would I call you?"
"It's about last night. When you were drunk, whose name did you shout?"
"What? Kath? A woman?" Ethan asked on purpose.
Andrew's eyes darkened. Did he really shout Katherine's name last night?
No way, how could he have called out her name?
"You said it yourself, I was drunk. There was no Kath. I never said that," Andrew denied.
"Hah, I knew you wouldn't admit it once sober. Next time, I'll record you and see how you deny it."
"Anything else? If not, I'm working."
Before Ethan could say more, Andrew hung up.
Ethan sat in his leather chair, tapping his phone on his hand. "Andrew, I just have to find that woman called Kath."
Then he suddenly remembered the photo he took last night but hadn't sent yet.
He opened WeChat and sent the picture to Andrew.
Andrew's phone on the desk vibrated. He picked it up and saw the photo instantly.
His expression turned cold. Though the photo was not very clear, Andrew recognized the person in it at once.
It was definitely Katherine.
She was wearing such a sexy outfit at Twilight. Her arm was even draped with…
If he wasn't mistaken, that was Joshua's suit jacket.
Andrew felt as if a heavy stone pressed on his chest, making it hard to breathe.
He pulled at his tie. Kath, are you really with Joshua?
At that moment, Assistant Ryan came in looking for Andrew's signature on some documents.
"Boss, this…"
Before he could finish, Andrew interrupted, "Assistant Ryan, announce on behalf of Xinyu Group that we will start a media company."
"Immediately invite Charlotte and sign her."
Assistant Ryan was stunned.
Is the boss still drunk from last night?
How does he keep coming up with such wild ideas?
He was more and more confused by his boss.
He carefully asked, "Boss, are you sober now?"
Andrew looked up coldly, "If I'm not sober, what else would I be talking about?"
"Nonsense," Assistant Ryan blurted, then quickly covered his mouth.
Andrew straightened up and leaned back in his chair. "Assistant Ryan, don't you want this job anymore?"
Assistant Ryan felt helpless. "Boss, this is serious, serious."
"I really don't understand why you suddenly want to start a media company and sign Miss Su."
"You know Kath knows about Charlotte. Shouldn't you keep your distance from Charlotte?"
Andrew's face grew dark. "What distance? Don't forget, Kath and I are divorced."
"I can do whatever I want."
"It has nothing to do with Kath."
Assistant Ryan hesitated. "That may be true, but you shouted Kath's name drunk last night. Don't regret it later."
After saying that, Assistant Ryan left.
Andrew took a deep breath. If Kath didn't care about him, why should he care about her thoughts?
The moment the announcement from Xinyu Group was released, the internet exploded.
…
Manager Qin ran excitedly into Charlotte's workplace. "Charlotte, did you see Weibo?"
"Xinyu Group just released a statement. They're setting up a media company, and the first artist they want to sign is you!"
Charlotte looked at Manager Qin in disbelief. "DanDan, is this real? Xinyu Group really said that?"
Manager Qin nodded quickly. "It's real. Absolutely true. Go check Weibo yourself."
Charlotte's heart was racing as she opened Weibo. When she saw it trending, she couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
She clicked on Xinyu Group's official account and saw there were already hundreds of thousands of comments.
Eagerly, she started reading through them. The netizens were all speculating about her and Andrew's relationship. She couldn't hide her happiness.
What is Andrew trying to do?
Manager Qin said from the side, "Charlotte, you'd better hold on to Andrew. If you sign with his media company, you'll get endless great roles."
Charlotte smiled faintly and responded modestly, "DanDan, nothing's set yet. Let's wait and see."
Just then, her phone rang. She answered, "Hello, this is Charlotte."
"Hi, I'm calling from Fengxing Media, the media company just established by Xinyu Group. My name is Mr. He."
"Hello, Mr. He. What can I do for you?" Charlotte asked deliberately.
"Miss Charlotte, Fengxing Media is interested in signing you. Would you be available to discuss it?"
Charlotte was thrilled, but she kept her calm voice. "Mr. He, I'll need some time to consider. Can I get back to you later?"
"Of course. If you have any conditions, you can bring them up directly with me."
"Alright, I'll hang up now."
After hanging up, Manager Qin asked quickly, "Charlotte, who was it?"
"Fengxing Media, the new company under Xinyu Group."
Hearing that, Manager Qin was overjoyed. "Charlotte, this is great. Since they approached you first, you have the upper hand."
Then she leaned close and whispered something into Charlotte's ear.
Charlotte looked surprised. "DanDan, should we really do that?"
"Absolutely. They came to you. With your current value, of course, we need to raise the price."
"If you're not comfortable negotiating, I'll handle it. I'm your manager after all."
Charlotte thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright, DanDan. I'll leave it to you."
Manager Qin patted her shoulder. "Don't worry. I'll take care of it."
A flash of pride crossed Charlotte's eyes. Katherine, if you knew Andrew created a media company just for me, wouldn't that drive you crazy?
At the same time, Vivi saw the announcement. She immediately ran to Madam Wan. "Mom, did you see Weibo?"
Madam Wan looked at her flustered daughter. "What's going on?"
"Mom, Xinyu Group just started a media company. Do you know who owns Xinyu Group?"
"Andrew. The most powerful man in the capital."
"Mom, you know how badly I want to be a star. Now's my chance."
"Fengxing Media is recruiting artists. We can go for an audition."
"If I get in, I'll finally be acting."
Madam Wan was excited too. "Then why are you still standing here? Get ready. I'll take you to the mall to buy some nice outfits for the audition."
Vivi nodded eagerly. "Okay! Mom, wait for me!"
Meanwhile, Andrew kept checking his phone. Deep down, he was hoping Katherine would reach out.
But instead, he got a call from Old Master Zhou.
