Chapter 30 All Night
Chapter 30 All Night
early morning.
Jingyuan Summer Residence.
Xia Jun frowned as he looked at Xia Jue, who walked into the restaurant reeking of sweat, and said, "You haven't slept again?"
Xia Jue casually grabbed a fried dough stick from the table and said, "What's the big deal? When I was on a mission in the army, it was common for me to go three days and three nights without sleep."
Xia Jun picked up the tofu pudding, took a sip of the soup, and shook his head, saying, "You should take advantage of your youth and ruin your body as much as you want. You'll regret it when you get older."
Xia Jue finished the fried dough stick in a few bites, then picked up the tofu pudding and poured it into his mouth in two or three bites, muttering to himself.
Why think so far ahead? Aren't you tired?
Looking at Xia Jue, who wasn't listening at all, Xia Jun sighed wearily: "When you have time, go to Yan Qing's place to check your pulse and ask him to prescribe some medicine for you to take good care of yourself."
Xia Jue picked up a fried dough stick, laughed nonchalantly, and said, "I'm so healthy, why would I need medicine?"
Xia Jue glanced around and asked curiously, "Where are Yao Yao and Xiao Xue?"
Xia Jun's face showed worry.
"Like you, Yao Yao also worked overtime at the company last night, all night long, and hasn't come back yet. As for Xiao Xue, cough cough, she hasn't gotten up yet."
Just then, Xia Xue, yawning and wearing her pajamas, came downstairs.
"Good morning, Father; good morning, Eldest Sister."
Xia Jue winked at Xia Xue and said, "What did you do last night that you only got up now?"
Mentioning this, Xia Xue glared at Xia Jue with a resentful look.
"fraud!"
Xia Jue glanced at Xia Jun, shrugged, and replied, bewildered, "What did I do to offend you? How did you become a liar?"
Xia Xue picked up the fried dough sticks on the table, tore them into a small piece, and threw them viciously into the tofu pudding. Staring at Xia Jue, she questioned, "Didn't you say that your experiences in the army, if written into a novel, could be read as a fantasy novel? Liar! Your main experiences in the army were all special operations, mainly using firearms. Even when capturing mutated beasts, those mutated beasts were just a little faster, a little bigger, and a little weirder in shape. They didn't have any superpowers or mystical arts. It wasn't fantasy at all."
Xia Jue touched her nose guiltily.
She didn't say that on purpose to get information out of Xia Xue.
Unexpectedly, Xia Xue was able to find out so much about her time in the military in just one night, staying in her bedroom at home.
What level is Xia Xue's superpower?
That's amazing!
Xia Jue chuckled twice.
"Oh dear, I got caught bragging to my face. How embarrassing!"
Xia Jue quickly said to Xia Jun, "I've finished eating. I didn't sleep all night yesterday. I'm going to get some sleep first."
Then, she put her hands together in apology to Xia Xue and said, "This time, I was wrong. I heard you want to enter the entertainment industry. Tomorrow, I'll introduce you to a big shot in the industry, and I guarantee it will save you a lot of trouble."
After saying that, Xia Jue yawned widely and said to the two of them, "I'm not talking anymore, I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep."
After saying that, before the two could finish speaking, he dashed upstairs and disappeared from their sight.
Xia Jun shook his head with a wry smile.
He really couldn't do anything with Xia Jue.
I don't know how I raised it, it's become this lazy and listless.
"How's the situation with Chenxi?"
Xia Jun looked at Xia Xue and asked in a casual, conversational tone.
"I only looked at the company structure and related personnel information once; I haven't had time to look at the rest yet."
Xia Xue replied while eating her fried dough sticks.
Xia Jun glanced at Xia Xue with surprise.
"Your speed is impressive."
He thought Xia Xue was a good-for-nothing.
Xia Xue lowered her head guiltily and drank her tofu pudding.
I actually watched these the night before last.
It was because she had seen this information that she was unwilling to take over Chenxi Entertainment at the time.
It's too complicated.
"How's the preparation for the short drama going?"
Xia Xue replied directly, "We've already chosen a director, but there's been no progress on the others."
Xia Jun looked at Xia Xue with surprise again.
"The director is the core of a drama. Once the director is chosen, the project is already more than half done."
Xia Xue nodded.
"I know that professional matters should be left to professionals. I only care about the money and the results."
Xia Jun's face lit up with surprise.
"This is the content of an internal open letter I wrote when I first took over Chenxi Entertainment. You even read this?"
Xia Xue touched her nose.
She didn't read Xia Jun's open letter, but rather, while searching for experience in producing short dramas, she crawled through a group of company chats and found that the directors and producers there all shared the same sentiment.
This is it.
So it was Xia Jun who said that.
Just then, Xia Yao walked in looking exhausted.
"Good morning, Dad. Good morning, Xiaoxue."
After sitting down, Xia Yao yawned widely, listlessly sipped her tofu pudding, and casually asked, "What are you talking about?"
Xia Jun handed Xia Yao a glass of water with a look of heartache.
"Don't just drink tofu pudding, it's too salty, drink more water."
Xia Yao took the water glass Xia Jun handed her, took a small sip, and then, as if remembering something, said to Xia Xue, "By the way, I have some novel copyrights here. I'll have Shen Yan send you a copy of the table of contents later. Just tell Shen Yan which copyright you want; consider it my opening gift to you."
This gift is so timely.
Xia Xue sipped her tofu pudding and thanked her, saying, "Thanks, sis."
Xia Yao took a couple more sips of tofu pudding, then couldn't help but yawn several times. She waved her hand and said to the two of them, "I'm so sleepy, I can't go on anymore. I'm going to sleep now. If there's anything, we can talk about it after I wake up."
After saying that, he yawned and walked upstairs with heavy steps.
Xia Jun withdrew his concerned gaze and sighed.
"Yaoyao's health has been poor since she was a child. Despite years of careful care, she is only slightly better than the average person. However, this child has no self-awareness at all and still stays up late all the time, which is really worrying."
As they were talking, Shen Weiyi's voice came from outside the kitchen.
"What do you mean by 'worried sick'?"
Shen Weiyi, sporting heavy dark circles under her eyes, yawned, squinted, and swayed as she walked in.
Seeing that Shen Weiyi looked like she might fall at any moment, Xia Jun quickly got up, ran over to her, helped her up, and gently scolded, "How old are you? Why are you still staying up all night? What are your students doing? If there's any work, assign it to them. You're a professor, what are you doing getting involved?"
Shen Weiyi yawned, her eyes barely open, and replied with a half-closed gaze, "I don't want to either, but they're so useless. If I don't keep an eye on them, they can't do anything right. It's driving me crazy."
As she spoke, Shen Weiyi yawned several more times. Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and waved her hand weakly, saying, "I can't take it anymore. I'm going to sleep for a while. If you need anything, tell me when I wake up."
Watching Xia Jun help Shen Weiyi upstairs, Xia Xue sighed softly:
"Xia Yao and Shen Weiyi are practically identical, no wonder no one suspects it."
