When the two of them went out, I also mentioned Ye Guang's situation to him, feeling quite worried.
"You said that after Longwen married Mina, they settled in Hong Kong. At that time, Ye Guang definitely can't go with them. What will he do? Will he have to live with us?"
Xiao Minxing thought for a moment before saying, "Living together isn't a big deal. He knows about the electric Light Bulb, so he probably won't have any inappropriate thoughts about you like before."
I pinched his arm and said, "What are you talking about? He only sees me as a friend. When has he ever had inappropriate thoughts?"
Xiao Minxing glanced at me sideways and said, "He's even going to take care of your child; still just friends? I've never seen friends like that."
I immediately pulled back a bit and raised my voice, "How do you know about that?"
He just smirked slightly and then changed the topic back to Ye Guang, saying, "We'll see when the time comes. His situation is much better now than before. No matter where he is, it's fine. But I'm worried that he's been getting along well with Longwen. If he changes to a new environment, I wonder if there will be other issues."
"Yeah, but even if there are issues, we can't let him go to Hong Kong with them, right?"
Xiao Minxing concluded the topic by saying, "We'll talk about his matters later. But Mina really surprised me; she’s willing to give up everything she has now to parachute into an unfamiliar place."
Speaking of Mina made me feel sentimental.
She pursued freedom and refused to conform to others, yet in the end, she lost everything because of love.
From this perspective alone, I am not satisfied with Longwen. A man who takes everything away from his woman and leaves her dependent on him—what kind of situation is that?
But love has always been something no one can clearly define. We are just bystanders; we cannot make decisions for Mina or change their choices.
A nice meal turned bittersweet as I thought of Mina.
Xiao Minxing served me a plate of food and meaningfully said, "You think too much every day. Luckily your social circle isn't wide; you only know these few people. Otherwise, you'd be too busy worrying about others every day and wouldn't have time for anything else."
I replied unhappily, "I don't have grand ambitions; it's normal to think about my friends around me."
His gaze immediately darted to my chest, and he solemnly nodded, saying, "That makes sense; it seems like it's not very big."
I unceremoniously twisted his arm and said with a hint of resentment, "Now you think it's too small? Why didn't you say that earlier?"
Xiao Minxing replied seriously, "I'm not saying it's too small; I'm blaming myself."
I couldn't understand his words and asked him with narrowed eyes, "How is this your fault? The more you say, the less I understand."
Then this Good Fellow leaned closer to my ear and said softly, gently, and playfully, "If I massage it a bit more, wouldn't that improve things a lot?"
My face instantly burned up, and I hurriedly looked around.
He then leaned back in his chair, wearing a smug smile as if his scheme had succeeded.
Feeling unwilling, I thought about kicking him, but this Good Fellow had already put on a serious expression and said, "We're still in the restaurant; don't mess around. I need to talk to you about something important."
Fine, I pulled my foot back and stopped using my hands, looking at him with a serious expression.
"The transfer procedures for Zhi Xing have mostly been completed this morning. An assistant will handle the follow-up work, so from now on, I'll be coming to your studio."
Talking about this made my mood drop again.
It was fine for him to come here; what worried me was that this small studio might not satisfy his work desires. I felt quite idle there every day.
However, Xiao Minxing said, "I think your Office isn't small at all. We should separate it and create a separate room. That way, during lunch breaks or when we're tired from work, we can both go in and catch up on some work. Plus, I can help you massage anytime."
The sip of water I had just taken almost sprayed out if I hadn't covered my mouth quickly.
I tried hard to glare at him fiercely, but seeing the expression on his face made it hard for me to stay angry.
Forget it; he probably wasn't in a good mood either, which is why he was joking around with me. If talking like this could help him feel better about losing Zhi Xing, then I didn't mind.
In the afternoon, Xiao Minxing indeed spent time in the studio. However, he didn't really stay in my Office as he claimed; instead, he checked out several departments and then came back to discuss how to improve the studio.
The methods were quite useful. I had thought of them before but lacked experience in that area and was a bit timid. I always feared taking a step forward without knowing the depth of the situation. What if I messed up and fell into a pit? So I just stuck to the original things and slowly endured.
After Xiao Minxing shared his thoughts, he looked at me and asked, "If you do this, your workload will increase, and you might be busier in the future. Of course, your income will also be higher. In today's market, if you don't move forward, you'll fall behind. If you maintain the status quo for too long, you'll gradually find that your expenses exceed your income."
I nodded and said, "Then should we make a move?"
He sat there thoughtfully for a moment and replied, "If you're worried about getting too tired, we can take it slow for now. When I have more free time later, I can help you with this."
I looked at him and asked, "Aren't you free now? The company is gone; are you just going to stay home watching Xiao Zhe?"
Xiao Minxing laughed and then glanced at the documents on my desk. He said, "It seems like you already knew that Zhi Xing has many small subsidiaries underneath it, right?"
That's correct; I had heard about it. But if those companies are all under Zhi Xing, aren't they supposed to be given to the Xiao Family this time?
Thinking of this made my heart ache even more.
However, Xiao Minxing said, "Those companies have nothing to do with Zhi Xing. Saying they are subsidiaries of Zhi Xing is just forcing the Xiao Family to demand Zhi Xing sooner. In reality, those companies are all independent and have no connections. Once I settle all the data for Zhi Xing, I will merge those small companies."
I looked at him strangely, quickly processing the implications of what he had just said.
It took me a while to realize that Xiao Minxing had already sidelined Zhi Xing and was deliberately spreading news that he had many subsidiaries with a lot of money and potential profits. This way, the greedy Xiao Family siblings would see it as a rare opportunity. Plus, since Old Master Xiao harbored ill intentions toward Xiao Minxing, they would inevitably find an excuse to reclaim the company.
Just as Xiao Minxing said, that was his last connection with the Xiao Family. Once he handed it over, no one could take a single cent from him again.
