The transmigrated wife is crazy and ruthless.

Chapter 216 Embarking on a Career as General Manager Qi

"My wife and I don't like the constant fighting and killing in the martial world; it's exhausting. That's why she brought me here. I never expected there to be so much treachery and deceit here."

Qi Yuxuan sighed.

Director An looked at Qi Yuxuan and sighed:

"Wherever there are people, there is a world of its own. There are good people and bad people everywhere. In ancient times and in modern times, here and there, isn't it all the same? There's no escaping it."

"If I had known this would happen, my wife and I would not have come here, and we wouldn't have had to separate."

Qi Yuxuan sighed.

"Alright, brother, don't overthink it. Since you're here, make the best of it. How about we work together? You play the male lead, and I'll help you find your wife. How about it?"

Director An said.

"It's good, but I don't want to film any movies while carrying any debt. It makes me feel uncomfortable."

"That's nothing. As long as you're willing to be my leading man and film a few more movies, you'll naturally earn the money back. I'm very confident about that."

“But if I go to act, I’ll just be an actor. Actors are looked down upon in our area. I don’t want to. Besides, what will happen to my Minglan if I go to act?”

"Hey brother, you don't need to worry about that. I'll ask Aunt Qin to help take care of things. Besides, people who act in movies here are very popular. They're called stars and have a high social status."

Qi Yuxuan shook his head again.

"Brother, what are you hesitating for? Think about it, once you become famous, your wife will definitely see it. Are you still worried about not being able to find her? She will come looking for you."

Hearing this, Qi Yuxuan thought it made sense and finally nodded.

Suddenly, there was a rapid knocking on the door. Director An frowned and got up to open the door.

A group of men with fierce expressions stood outside the door, the leader being a tall and burly man with an impatient look in his eyes.

"Director An, when are you going to repay the debt you owe us?"

The man in the lead shouted loudly, his tone full of threat.

Director An sighed, trying to remain calm:

"I'm trying to figure something out. I'll give you the money once the mortgage paperwork is done."

The group was clearly unwilling to wait, and the leader sneered:

"We can't wait any longer, we have to get the money out today!"

After saying that, the group of people forcibly pushed Director An aside and rushed into the living room.

They started ransacking the place, smashing furniture, and causing wanton destruction.

Director An tried to stop him, but was pushed aside by a burly man and fell to the ground.

What are you doing!

Qi Yuxuan stood up, his face ashen.

He quickly went to Director An's side and helped him up.

At this moment, Minglan was startled awake by the sudden noise and burst into tears.

Her crying made the atmosphere in the room even more tense. Director An glanced anxiously in Minglan's direction, his eyes full of worry.

Seeing all this, Qi Yuxuan could no longer bear it.

He took a deep breath, stepped forward abruptly, and stood between the group and Director An.

"That's enough!"

His voice was deep and powerful, "If you don't stop, don't blame me for being impolite!"

The leader chuckled dismissively, waved his hand, and signaled his men to continue.

However, at that very moment, Qi Yuxuan made his move.

His movements were as fast as lightning; he kicked the nearest burly man, knocking him to the ground.

Seeing this, the others gathered around.

But Qi Yuxuan was already prepared. He nimbly dodged the attacks while counterattacking with precise punches and kicks.

In an instant, the living room was filled with the sounds of fighting; those people were no match for Qi Yuxuan.

One by one, they were beaten until they were all knocked over and lay on the ground, unable to move.

Qi Yuxuan stood still, his gaze sweeping over the people on the ground, and said coldly:

"Can we leave now? If you come back next time, you'll have to bear the consequences."

The man in the lead covered his face, got up, and slunk away with the others.

Director An breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Qi Yuxuan gratefully:

"Thank you, brother. I don't know what would have happened if it weren't for you."

Qi Yuxuan patted Director An on the shoulder: "It's alright, it's good that everyone is safe."

He turned around, picked up Minglan who was still crying, and gently comforted her.

Minglan gradually stopped crying, her little hands tightly gripping Qi Yuxuan's clothes, as if she had found a sense of security in his arms.

Qin Ma also rushed out of the kitchen. Seeing that the situation had calmed down, she quickly brought a wet towel to wipe the sweat from Qi Yuxuan's forehead.

After the incident, the living room was a mess.

After coaxing Minglan to sleep, Qi Yuxuan returned to Director An's side.

At this moment, Director An was sitting on the sofa, his brows furrowed, looking very anxious.

"Director An, don't worry too much."

Qi Yuxuan comforted her, taking out a brocade box from his pocket and gently placing it on the coffee table.

"Do you think this is enough to pay off your debts?"

Director An opened the box with a puzzled look, and inside lay a luminous pearl emitting a soft glow.

His eyes widened, and he asked incredulously:

"This...this is a luminous pearl?"

"Yes."

Qi Yuxuan nodded.

Director An gasped and quickly said:

"This thing is priceless, you should keep it safe! Let's have an expert appraise it when it gets light."

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room, and Qin's mother had already prepared breakfast.

Qi Yuxuan and Director An took the luminous pearl to a renowned jewelry appraisal expert.

After carefully examining the luminous pearl, a hint of surprise flashed in the expert's eyes.

"This luminous pearl is of excellent quality. Based on its luster, size and historical background, its preliminary value is around 500 million."

The expert said cautiously. Hearing this number, Qi Yuxuan felt a surge of emotion.

He recalled what Huang Chao had done to his family and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

"Huang Chao, you killed my whole family, yet you left me such a precious treasure as atonement. In any case, this can be considered a favor to me."

Back home, Director An facilitated a connection with a reputable auction house, and the luminous pearl was successfully sold for 500 million.

After receiving the money, he first helped Director An pay off her debts, and then paid back the money Director An and Minglan spent on baby supplies.

"Take this money; it's a way of thanking you for your help during this time."

Qi Yuxuan said sincerely. Director An was moved to tears:

"Thank you, brother, I really don't know how to repay you."

After resolving his debt issues, Qi Yuxuan decided to make some plans for his future.

He spent 100 million yuan to buy the Lanye Villa as his and Minglan's new home.

The remaining 100 million was used to acquire Director An's company and renamed it "Ziyue Film and Television Company".

"I hope this new name will help me find my wife soon."

Qi Yuxuan stood at the company entrance, gazing at the brand-new signboard, his heart filled with anticipation.

Finally, he deposited the remaining 200 million yuan into a bank to ensure the safety of his funds in the future.

After doing all this, Qi Yuxuan felt an unprecedented sense of ease and peace.

From then on, Qi Yuxuan became President Qi of Ziyue Film Company, officially starting his career as both a boss and a leading man.

After the incident involving the luminous pearl, Director An was unable to calm down for a long time.

He stood in the living room, looking at Qi Yuxuan with eyes full of gratitude and admiration.

"I knew it! You're my benefactor!"

Director An said excitedly, his voice trembling slightly.

"If it weren't for you, I really wouldn't know what to do."

Qi Yuxuan smiled slightly and waved his hand:

"We're all friends, so helping each other is only right."

"No, it's more than just helping."

Director An shook his head, his eyes filled with sincerity.

“You are a god descended from heaven to help me through this calamity. From now on, I am willing to serve you wholeheartedly.”

Qi Yuxuan was deeply moved by Director An's words.

He knew that Director An was a person who valued loyalty and affection, and this trust and gratitude warmed his heart.

"Director An, you're too kind."

Qi Yuxuan said softly.

"Our friendship is more precious than any material thing. You don't need to do anything special to repay me."

No, this is what I truly feel for you.

Director An said firmly, "You saved my company and helped me pay off my debts. I will never forget this kindness."

To express his gratitude, Director An offered some practical suggestions:

"How about this: since you've already acquired my company, we can run it together. I believe that under your leadership, Ziyue Film & Television Company will definitely achieve even greater success."

Qi Yuxuan nodded:

"Okay, let's work hard together. The road ahead is long, and I feel very reassured with you here."

Director An clapped his hands excitedly:

"Let's begin!"

One evening, the two sat in the courtyard of the villa, while Minglan played nearby.

A gentle breeze brought a touch of coolness.

Qi Yuxuan told Director An about the deep friendship he had with Twilight City, Chu Yuqiu, Lu Yuanchangming, and Yin Lihen.

"Yu Xuan, do you know? My life has completely changed since you came."

Director An sighed,

“I used to feel very lonely and didn’t believe in friendship, but you showed me hope.”

Qi Yuxuan smiled:

"Everyone has their low points, the key is to have the courage to face them. And you, Director An, have always been very strong."

Director An looked up, tears welling in his eyes:

"Thank you, brother. I'm lucky to have a friend like you."
