The Billionaire's Mischievous Sweetheart-Chapter 644 - 641: The Story Moves to the Big Screen
Of course, he didn’t want this to affect Candy’s studies. However, if Candy could pursue this interest while still excelling in school, he would certainly be willing to let her try it out. No matter the circumstances, he would strive to cherish and fulfill their wishes—to realize his child’s dreams, to realize his own, and to bring the stories they loved to the big screen, allowing even more people to fall in love with them.
Qi Longbing’s eyes shone as he looked at Hua Xiaomo, managing to squeeze out a smile.
Back then, I really loved Hua Xiaomo, truly cherished her, because I felt that she genuinely loved me, he thought. Well, regardless of who cherished whom more, what mattered was that their hearts were in harmony—an unbreakable bond, a testament to their connection.
"Okay, I’ve almost finished with everything. Just give me another ten minutes," Qi Longbing said, a smile playing on his lips. "By the way, regarding your game company, I’ve already had the sales department manager prepare a summary. It will be on your desk first thing tomorrow morning. Just give it a look, and if there are no issues, you can sign it. Then, when I promote my new movie, I’ll promote your game alongside it. That way, it’s a win-win for both of us!"
At that moment, his eyes were full of an indescribable care. Working together with Hua Xiaomo like this feels incredibly good, he thought, much better than the old work model at Qi Imperial Court.
Qi Imperial Court was like a massive, cumbersome grinding stone—difficult to operate and exhausting to manage. Running a smaller entertainment company, however, feels comparatively easier. Besides, Hua Xiaomo and I are now mutually promoting each other’s businesses. Her company is right next to mine, fostering a supportive and encouraging environment. Moreover, Hua Xiaomo’s game company is doing exceptionally well; leveraging that success, our entertainment company has climbed even higher. Our first movie achieved excellent box office results, already surpassing 1,000,000,000. That was a truly pleasant surprise, making me feel successful in this new industry. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
I feel capable in any field, but now that I’m venturing into entertainment, I’m fully committed. I plan to help Hua Xiaomo’s game company grow even bigger and better. I even envision integrating my film production company with her game company to form a conglomerate. That would signal the rise of a new cultural industry hub in City B, significantly impacting our market presence there. Furthermore, while Qi Imperial Court in City A is involved in many sectors, its foothold in the cultural industry isn’t yet substantial. If we can establish such a major cultural enterprise from the outset in City B, it would be like conquering another significant domain of capability—the cultural industry. Then, we would dominate across all sectors.
The future holds even broader horizons. With the cultural industry, City A and City B can support and benefit each other, offering only advantages. Plus, with my younger brother, Qi Lingfeng, managing affairs in City A, I have peace of mind. Essentially, our companies will thrive everywhere, performing excellently.
For now, my work focus has merely shifted temporarily from City A to City B, Qi Longbing mused. As for the future, it’s hard to say. Perhaps I’ll stay in City B, maybe even permanently, co-managing our cultural empire with Hua Xiaomo. In time, I believe we’ll forge an even more powerful conglomerate kingdom—a united domain of City B and City A: Qi Imperial Court, Hua Xiaomo’s Purple Demon Immortal Inquiry Company, and my Qi Film Industry. These three formidable companies will undoubtedly integrate, forming an entire industrial chain, an irreplaceable group. Then, whether it’s Hua Xiaomo’s game company or the Qi family’s enterprises, we’ll always be one family. That... that would be true happiness. And Candy will be the princess of this kingdom. This is my ultimate vision, my dream of creating a vast empire.
However, he had only broached this idea indirectly with Hua Xiaomo, without delving into specifics.
Certainly, Hua Xiaomo has no demands of her own, he reflected, feeling his love for her deepen to an astonishing degree. She often cooks late-night snacks for me now and even prepares full meals. All these things touch me deeply.
When Hua Xiaomo saw Qi Longbing laugh, his eyes brimming with smiles, his expression was one of pure happiness. He understands me, she thought, a warm feeling spreading through her. He truly loves me. He genuinely loves our child, and we’re living so happily. Even if things stay this way, I feel incredibly content. Even if I don’t have an official status, even if this is the only way we can be together, I accept it. I have to.
Yet, deep down, I still hope Qi Longbing will give me an official status, and give our child an official status too. After all, when Candy grows older, she’ll realize he’s her father. Of course, such a situation would make Candy feel wronged, sad, and unhappy. I hope Candy can have a truly happy family environment.
Candy deserves a happy outcome, Qi Longbing affirmed to himself. No matter what, she is my child, and she should have the very best happiness. Regardless of anything, I must give Candy an official status. Because she is my child, I can’t let her bear the stigma of being illegitimate or a burden. That wouldn’t be right. It might not affect me much, but for a child, it’s a lifelong wound. Therefore, I believe she deserves the greatest possible happiness; I shouldn’t cause her any harm whatsoever.
