The director is thoughtful, frowning, as if weighing the various possible consequences.

He walked slowly towards Huo Mingqi with heavy steps.

The noise around them gradually subsided, and people's eyes were focused on them, as if sensing something important about to happen between the two men.

The director stopped beside Huo Mingqi, leaned over slightly, and whispered, "Mr. Huo, take a step to speak, okay?" His tone was serious and respectful, making it impossible to refuse.

Huo Mingqi looked into the director's eyes and read a deep sincerity and urgency.

He nodded, motioning for the director to lead the way.

The director turned and walked towards a secluded corner, where there was no one else but the two of them.

He took a deep breath, as if preparing to say something extremely weighty.

"I want to talk to you about Lin Yi's treatment." The director spoke, his gaze honest and direct.

Huo Mingqi frowned slightly, waiting for further explanation from the director.

He didn't know why the director was talking to him about this topic at this time, but that didn't stop him from taking it seriously.

The director gave a general introduction to Lin Yi's situation and asked if she could stay in the crew.

Huo Mingqi stood quietly in front of the director, his eyes flashing with determination.

"I came up with a way to keep Lin Yi and enrich our plot at the same time." He said calmly.

The director listened intently, knowing that Huo Mingqi's suggestion might bring unexpected results.

"I can let Lin Yi play a villain." Huo Mingqi continued, his tone full of confidence. "She can play a sinister and cunning character, in contrast to Nanxi Xixi's character."

The director thought about it for a while, and this proposal does have its appeal, which will make the plot more complex and will also bring more surprises to the audience.

"We can design some plots so that Nan Xixi's character suffers some hardships in the plot, and Lin Yi's character can bring these hardships to her. It's going to add some drama to our plot." Huo Mingqi added.

The director nodded, he liked the idea. This will make the whole story more vivid and will also leave a lasting impression on the audience.

"I'll talk to the writers right away and see how we can incorporate this idea into our script." The director said, his eyes sparkling with new hope.

Huo Mingqi smiled and nodded, knowing that he had brought a new idea to the project, and that idea had the potential to make the show even more successful.

Nan Xixi and Lin Yi stood quietly aside, the hustle and bustle around them temporarily stopped, as if the sound of the world had been pressed the mute button at this moment.

Lin Yi glanced at Nan Xixi, her eyes revealing a little surprise and dissatisfaction.

Nan Xixi responded with her usual smile, which contained a little smug and lightheartedness, as if everything was under her control.

Lin Yi snorted softly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "You really have the ability to hook up with such a powerful investor."

Although her voice was soft, the dissatisfaction and jealousy in her tone could not be concealed.

There was a hint of imperceptible coldness in her eyes when she looked at Nan Xixi.

Nan Xixi turned her head and replied in a relaxed tone, "Thank you for the compliment, if you want, I can also help you introduce some investors."

Her answer made Lin Yi stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect her to answer like this.

Her eyes twinkled, as if she was thinking about something.

The atmosphere between the two is a little delicate, and the conversations and interactions between them are also somewhat unusual.

Nan Xixi looked at Lin Yi's expression, and was even more sure in her heart, she definitely couldn't let her know that this investment of the Huo Group was actually obtained by Bei Yichen's relationship.

At that moment, they saw Huo Mingqi and the director return to them together.

Huo Mingqi had a hint of tiredness on his face, but

It still exudes that unique charm.

His eyes shone with wisdom, as if he could keep a clear head no matter when and where.

The director also looked a little tired, but his eyes were unusually bright, as if he was full of enthusiasm for his work.

He clutched a stack of scripts in his hand, which was the focus of his discussion.

As they approached, Huo Mingqi smiled and nodded at them, as if the departure just now was only a brief parting.

His gaze lingered on everyone's face for a moment, as if looking for something, and then, his gaze fell on Nan Xixi's body, and he nodded to her.

The director looked at Lin Yi, and then said slowly: "That, Mr. Huo has already said just now, Lin Yi will continue to stay, but the scene has changed, Lin Yi, don't hurry up and thank Mr. Huo."

After hearing this, Lin Yi hurriedly said delicately, "Thank you, Mr. Huo, I ......."

Huo Mingqi heard her voice, as if it was a sound made by pinching his throat, and couldn't help but shudder.

He frowned slightly, and didn't say anything more to her, but turned his head directly to look at Nanxixi.

"I wonder if it's convenient to go and talk for a while?"

Nan Xixi heard his invitation, thinking that there was no reason to refuse.

She nodded slightly, "yes, okay."

So, the two men came to the other side.

"Xixi, there's something I've always wanted to tell you, but I don't know how to say it." Huo Mingqi sighed a little helplessly, looking at her with complicated eyes.

Nan Xixi frowned slightly, and her intuition told her that this matter might be related to Bei Yichen.

She looked at Huo Mingqi quietly, waiting for him to continue.

Huo Mingqi took a deep breath and seemed to be mustering up courage, "Actually, this time I came to you because of Bei Yichen."

Nan Xixi was stunned, and an inexplicable tension and expectation surged in her heart. She tried to keep her composure, but her voice couldn't hide the trembling light, "Bei Yichen? He knows it all?"

Huo Mingqi looked at her, his eyes full of struggle and contradiction, "I can't tell you."

Huo Mingqi gritted his teeth, he knew that he couldn't continue to hide it. He looked at Nan Xixi, his voice low and firm, "Because Bei Yichen asked me not to say it. He doesn't want you to know."...

Nan Xixi felt a heartache, she didn't know what secrets Bei Yichen couldn't let her know. She struggled to suppress her emotions and asked in a trembling voice, "Then why are you telling me?"

Huo Mingqi looked at her, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes, "Because I ...... I think you should know the truth."

Nan Xixi felt a shock and emotion, "He's afraid that I'll be angry if I know he's helping me behind my back, right?

I'm really a fool, how can I be angry, with my husband supporting me, it's too late for me to be happy."

"If I knew that my brother and sister were so sensible, then I wouldn't be so generous to save him such a sum of money."

Hearing this, Nan Xixi couldn't help but want to laugh a little.

Nan Xixi's smile froze on her face, "Mr. Huo, you ...... Are you betraying your brother?" Nan Xixi's voice was low and hoarse, like a lump in her throat.

Huo Mingqi didn't answer immediately, he was silent for a moment, his eyes flickering.

Nan Xixi thought that she had said something offensive to him, and just when she wanted to explain and apologize, she saw Huo Mingqi suddenly laugh.

"Okay, well, I'll tell you, the friendship between men, that's a word, brothers are used to sell."

Hearing this seemingly joking words, a trace of embarrassment flashed on Nan Xixi's face, and she didn't know what to say for a while, so she didn't say anything.

Huo Mingqi looked at Nan Xixi with a smile and waved his hand lightly, signaling that she could be casual.

He said gently, "Xixi, in fact, you can call me by my name directly, we don't need to be so restrained."

Nan Xixi listened, in her heart

Feel a touch of warmth. She nodded, smiled, and said, "Okay, Huo Mingqi."

Although it was just a simple change of title, it shortened the distance between the two.

Nanxi Creek felt a sense of ease and ease.

Nan Xixi began to try to have a more in-depth communication with Huo Mingqi, and she asked, "Thank you this time."

When Huo Mingqi heard this question, he immediately became serious. He thought about it for a moment, and then replied, "Then you say, how should you thank me?"

Hearing this, Nan Xixi couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and then asked tentatively, "Then what do you mean?"

Huo Mingqi pretended to look at her seriously, and then said, "In this way, you can call me brother instead of your family, how about it?"

Nan Xixi couldn't help but smile in her heart when she heard Huo Mingqi's request.

The thank you he wanted was so simple, just to let himself call him brother.

The request may seem trivial, even childish, but Nan Xixi understands that it may have special meaning for him.

Nan Xixi took a deep breath and looked at Huo Mingqi's eyes, her voice was gentle and firm, "Brother."

Her voice rose softly, as if the spring breeze was blowing across the lake, warm and soft.

This simple title contains the affection and trust between people, and also represents Nanxixi's respect and gratitude to Huo Mingqi.

When Huo Mingqi heard this title, a trace of emotion flashed in his eyes. He looked at Nanxixi, a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his heart was full of satisfaction and happiness.

This "brother" is Nan Xixi's gratitude to Huo Mingqi.

She felt something strange in her heart.

"Don't you think it's weird, then I'll tell you, that Bei Yichen is really unlikable, from childhood to adulthood, let him call his brother, you say that he doesn't suffer, but ah, I don't want to.

Now, with a brother and sister like you, I can be considered complete."

Hearing such an explanation, Nan Xixi couldn't help but laugh.

"It's only natural to call you brother, Brother Mingqi."

Huo Mingqi seemed to be very useful, grinning happily, like a child.
