Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 1219 - 1218: Giving You a Chance

President Yang sighed, feeling especially sorry, especially for this kind-hearted kid Lan Tian, who encountered such misfortune. Anyone else would sympathize as well.

Meanwhile, Xu Ke glanced at Lan Tian, indeed noticing Lan Tian’s potential for period dramas. However, in that moment, Xu Ke hesitated.

"Here’s the thing, I’ll give you an opportunity. Our company is promoting an anime recently, and you can take on this task!"

Upon hearing Xu Ke’s words, not only Lan Tian but the other two people were also stunned. Especially President Yang, who had greatly admired the renowned president of this branch. Unexpectedly, this president was now making rash decisions.

Almost everyone knew Lan Tian was a fallen artist. Having him as a spokesperson seemed downright crazy.

Xiao Keyi furrowed her brows, considering how Lan Tian was already struggling to protect himself. Pushing him into the spotlight could not only do nothing for their anime but might also negatively impact them. Had Xu Ke lost his mind today?

Lan Tian’s face showed delight but, fearing something, he could only bite his teeth and refuse: "Thank you for the invitation. Although I really want to, I know I’ll just bring you trouble. So thank you for your kindness. If you still invite me after these issues pass, I’ll be there."

Seeing Lan Tian so understanding, Xu Ke was even more unwilling to let him miss such a chance. After all, having met Yang Meili, he couldn’t bear to see Lan Tian fade away.

After Lan Tian’s words, Xiao Keyi sighed in relief, thankful he had some self-awareness. Otherwise, their branch’s anime might face trouble.

Lan Tian bitterly smiled inside, having waited so long for redemption, only to find salvation from this stranger. He didn’t want to trouble this stranger further.

"No, I think you resemble one of the main characters in my anime a lot. So this time, it’s really got to be you.

As for the gossip and criticism you mentioned, I don’t care. Moreover, justice comes eventually. We just have to wait."

"Never lose confidence in yourself. If you don’t have confidence, then who will? Keep it up, come to the branch tomorrow for the audition."

After Xu Ke spoke, a flame ignited inside Lan Tian. Could he really do it? As he watched Xu Ke and Miss Xiao leave, he was about to say something, but President Yang shook his head at him.

"Lan Tian, I know President Xu took pity on you, so he’s giving you this chance. But you should know President Xu has a lot on his plate. Don’t make things hard for him. You’re a good kid and should understand this, right?"

Hearing President Yang’s words, Lan Tian could only nod, feeling his head heavy. The chance thrilled him, but President Yang advised him to give it up.

As Xiao Keyi saw them leave, she couldn’t berate Xu Ke in front of others, but with him alone, she had to voice her thoughts.

"Are you crazy? He’s already a fallen artist. What’s the use of bringing him back? I know you pity him; so do I. But it’s all futile. Instead, think about the next artist we need. Our company worked hard in the anime market, and now you want to throw it all away for this?"

Xiao Keyi knew the hardships Xu Ke faced, especially with their significant investments backed by her grandfather. Sacrificing everything for one person seemed unfair and harsh to others.

Hearing Xiao Keyi’s words, Xu Ke pressed his lips, aware of his rash decision but believing Lan Tian could bring miracles, choosing to trust his instincts.

Seeing Xu Ke silent, Xiao Keyi grew furious and poked his arm.

"Say something! Your silence won’t solve any problems. If needed, I’ll ask my friend to help. An artist like him doesn’t aid our anime promotion but might harm our game launch. Understand? If you want to help him, there’s time later!"

Feeling parched from speaking so much, Xiao Keyi hoped Xu Ke would understand, only for him to shake his head, rejecting her entirely.

She appeared disappointed, realizing Xu Ke refused to heed her advice, sticking with his own decisions while she felt unwarranted concern.

Thus, with a deep gaze at Xu Ke, she grabbed her bag, got in a car, disregarding what he thought.

Meanwhile, Xu Ke puzzled over Xiao Keyi’s anger. It was just one artist. Their anime already had strength in promotion. Though minor, Xu Ke believed justice awaited Lan Tian.

Then, Xiao Keyi’s bag started ringing. Seeing the name, her brows relaxed, and a smile crept—her dear friend.

"Hey Yiyi, it’s surprising to hear from you since graduation! We all studied acting, but you went into family business. I’m envious. Had you stayed, how could I have stood out?"

Hearing the other end, Xiao Keyi finally relaxed, yet pouted. Her friend was one of the Four Darlings, Jiang Na.

"How could I forget you? I’ve hit a snag lately. By the way, are you free recently? If not, represent our anime for a campaign?"

Hearing her friend’s request, Jiang Na laughed, genuinely busy these days. Yet for a friend, she waved her assistant away to clear her schedule.

"Sure, it’s rare for you to ask, so I’m in. Besides, I’ve got nothing much lately. Maybe you’ll help me get fame!"

Hearing her friend’s words, Xiao Keyi couldn’t help but chuckle. Her famous friend, already so popular, wouldn’t need her help for fame!
