Chapter 406: Something Happened

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

After Ji Chen’s explanation, Gu Xiao and Chu An completely forgot about the fact that Ji Chen had gifted a company to Jiang He.

From then on, Gu Xiao and Chu An’s lives seemed to have returned to a peaceful state.

Chu An was already completely used to the courses of the Weapon Systems and Engineering major. Even after National Day, when he was in a state of relentless pursuit in his studies, his learning progress faintly surpa.s.sed that of the original students in the Weapon Systems and Engineering major.

While Chu An’s progress made the teachers of the Weapon Systems and Engineering major happy, it also made the students shout that Chu An was abnormal, making Chu An’s reputation in A University even greater.

However, because Chu An had placed all his attention on his studies, matters that Tian Xian from Star Brilliance did not dare to completely decide alone were placed on Gu Xiao’s shoulders.

Fortunately, such situations were not many. They might not even happen once a month. This allowed Gu Xiao to complete her studies outstandingly even when she was still managing certain matters from the company.

As Gu Xiao and Chu An were busy, time seemed to pa.s.s very quickly. Before Gu Xiao and Chu An could react, the winter break of A University had started.

After a semester of study and busyness, winter break suddenly came, and their time was suddenly free. Gu Xiao and Chu An didn’t know what to do.

Just as the two of them were wondering if they should go to the company to take a look, they received a message from Mr Chu and Mrs Chu, hoping that the two of them could return to the Chu residence.

After discussing it with Chu An, Gu Xiao agreed to Mr Chu and Mrs Chu’s suggestion and agreed to return to the Chu residence.

However, not long after the two of them returned to the Chu residence, Tian Xian sent a new message. He said that there was a problem with a television drama that would be airing during the winter break.

On the phone, Gu Xiao and Chu An roughly understood the problem. After a few words of explanation to Mr Chu and Mrs Chu, they drove to Star Brilliance.

“Is this drama very important?” Chu An asked Gu Xiao as he drove.

After National Day, Chu An’s mind was completely focused on his studies. He only knew a little about the internal plans of Star Brilliance.

Now that he knew that something had happened to the company, he could only take advantage of the time on the road to understand the ins and outs of the matter.

There was a hint of coldness in Gu Xiao’s expression. “This drama is more important to both Star Brilliance and Mi Rui.”

After Mi Rui signed in under Star Brilliance, there just happened to be a good resource. Mi Rui’s conditions were more suitable, so Star Brilliance let Mi Rui be the female lead of this drama.

The plot of this drama was not bad. Roughly, it was about a wandering woman who was in danger every day during the era of Republic of China. She was picked up by a kind-hearted theatre troupe master and even taught to sing opera [).

Just as the woman felt that her life would no longer be like a rootless duckweed, because of the j.a.panese invasion, the home that took her in was destroyed in the flames of war. She was hidden away by the troupe master, and then she watched helplessly as the kind troupe master was cruelly killed by the j.a.panese soldiers.

After that, the woman went on stage. Because of her graceful figure and crisp voice, she quickly made a name for herself and also attracted the attention of the j.a.panese people.

After that, the woman used the excuse of performing to be socially active among the j.a.panese soldiers, and obtained a lot of news about j.a.pan. And she pa.s.sed all this news to the underground intelligence personnel.

And this woman was also betrayed by a traitor and died under the guns of the j.a.panese soldiers, dying on her stage. In the end, not even a corpse was left behind.

Although it looked like a very old story, the screenwriter’s ability was not bad. Even with such an old theme, he still wrote a very exciting script.

According to Tian Xian, when this script was circulating in the company, many young ladies had cried from watching it, and many young ladies had said repeatedly that they would definitely watch the television drama after it was released.

This television drama was Star Brilliance’s show of sincerity to Mi Rui, and it was also a television drama used by Star Brilliance to promote the other artists under them. Of course, more importantly, this television drama was the only television drama prepared by Star Brilliance for the winter break.

If there was a problem with this television drama, Star Brilliance would be completely idle during the winter break.

This was not what Gu Xiao wanted to see.
