Huo Zhenyang slightly raised his eyelids, sat on the sofa, stretched his legs, picked up a tablet, and while looking at the news of the day, said indifferently, "How are things at the group."

The day after returning to Yunling, Huo Zhenyang had instructed George to secretly investigate the current state of the Huo Group.

George reported word by word:

"Ever since the Boss resigned from the CEO position and left the group, the business in China has been entirely managed by Su Yan. Using the old man’s poor health as an excuse, she has kept this hidden from the old man, so he still doesn’t know that you have resigned as CEO. These past few days, our investigation found that although it appears Su Yan is managing the group, behind the scenes, it is the Second Young Master who is in control. I think it won’t be long before Su Yan reintroduces the Second Young Master to the board and the old man, and then the Second Young Master will rightfully return to the group. Your departure from the group and the Second Young Master taking the CEO position was only a matter of time. It seems this is their wishful thinking."

Huo Zhenyang’s eyes flickered slightly: "How is the old man’s health now?"

"Hmm. According to the servants at the Huo Mansion in America, he has improved a bit. According to the doctors there, in about a month, if his condition stabilizes, he will be able to travel by plane."

A sinister light appeared in Huo Zhenyang’s eyes, and he crossed his hands: "Good, let those two enjoy themselves for another month then."

George understood the Boss’s intention; he wanted to wait for the old man’s health to improve, personally invite him to China, and then expose and strike against the Second Young Master and Su Yan face-to-face.

Then, the two of them would have no chance of turning things around.

"Yes. Boss.": George complied.

After a pause, he raised his head and couldn’t help asking: "Boss has returned to Yunling, should I go and speak to the young mistress, and bring her back?"

Bring her back?

Would she be willing?

Thinking about the attitude of that little woman towards him in the bodyguard’s car outside the airport, Huo Zhenyang felt a headache coming on, his eyes narrowing, revealing a barely perceptible sinister look.

Of course, he would bring her back.

But it will be in a way that she comes back willingly and obediently.

Haodu Building.

The high-level office.

Su Yan, feeling unsettled, dialed Huo Zhenxuan’s phone.

As soon as the call connected, she couldn’t wait, "Huo Zhenyang has returned to Yunling, do you know?"

Huo Zhenxuan furrowed his brows, surprised he had come back, hearing the panic in Su Yan’s voice, he scoffed, "What’s there to be nervous about? If he’s back, then he’s back. He’s already resigned as CEO of the Huo Group, even stepping down as the mayor, just an idle person, what’s there to be afraid of?"

Despite saying this, Huo Zhenxuan also felt somewhat uneasy.

This statement was more like he was comforting himself rather than addressing Su Yan’s concerns.

Su Yan was still uneasy: "He disappeared from Yunling mysteriously a few months ago, no one knew where he went, and now he suddenly returned, and moreover very discreetly, very few people outside know about it, it is said that he arranged for bodyguards in advance, and as soon as he disembarked, he was escorted by bodyguards, secretly returned to Disheng, and it seems he also brought a friend back with him... aren’t you afraid he found some evidence that could trip you up?"

She and Huo Zhenxuan were in the same boat.

If Huo Zhenxuan falls, she certainly wouldn’t benefit.

She knew a bit about how Huo Zhenxuan had turned his fortunes around in Mexico these years.

If Huo Zhenyang knew, he would definitely use it to retaliate against them.

Huo Zhenxuan raised an eyebrow: "He brought someone back? Who?"

"I don’t know, the people from the security agency are extremely vigilant. When Huo Zhenyang and his party disembarked from the private jet, they were quickly arranged in cars, and these days, the security agency has the villa tightly guarded, it looks like Huo Zhenyang is protecting that person very strictly."

Big brother... who did he bring back?

What exactly does he want to do?

But regardless of what he intends to do, he definitely wants to send a message..."

Huo Zhenxuan had initially been indifferent, but now Su Yan’s words also started to disturb him, he pondered for a moment:

"During this period, have someone keep an eye on Disheng, find out who exactly he has brought back, and report any developments to me immediately."

"Yes."

The early morning sunshine on the weekend is splendid; the weather is great, a perfect day to stay in bed.

However, Jiayi woke up very early today.

Ever since she designed cheongsams for the drama group Lock Linglong a few months ago and successfully secured her first business deal with them, her shop started to gain fame in the drama community.

Afterward, several drama groups approached her shop for collaboration.

Recently, a well-known film crew required custom costumes for some of their actors, and they conducted a bidding process among the clothing companies in Yunling to select a satisfactory collaborator.

The movie being prepared for shooting is an action film, tentatively titled "Island Warrior Spirit."

From the action director to the main male and female stars, all are international celebrities; even the supporting actors are A-listers.

Seeking a pure and natural setting, the filming location was chosen on a deserted island near Yunling.

Because this movie is a significant project, there were many competing clothing companies.

Jiayi, based on the film crew’s requirements and the characters’ personalities, quickly prepared design drafts overnight and sent them to this crew.

There are too many clothing enterprises in Yunling, all industry leaders, such as Yundu where Jiayi previously worked.

Therefore, she didn’t hold much hope.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, the crew invited her, expressing interest in her shop’s styles and acknowledging that Jiayi had previously designed for other crews, inviting Jiayi to bring sample garments to participate in the bidding.

Jiayi was overjoyed at that moment.

If the collaboration was successful, the income from this deal could match the annual revenue of a bridal shop.

Thus, she prepared to personally deliver the finished sample garments today.

After getting up, Jiayi made breakfast for Zaizai and Anya, who were still snoring, and went to the children’s room to kiss Little Baozi.

Then she packed several sample garments into a large coat bag and drove to the port area of the seaport district.

The filming location is on a nearby island; naturally, the entire crew would be accommodated on the island during the filming period.

She parked her car at the pier and switched to a ferry to cross the sea.

Less than twenty minutes later, she landed on the island where the filming was located.

It was a deserted island, lush and green as far as the eye could see, with many mountains and hillocks.

Yunling is a coastal city; there are many such islands nearby, usually very desolate, with no human presence—usually places where birds don’t even poop.

For the purpose of filming, the crew rented the entire island.

Jiayi followed the signs on the island and found the shooting location.

The main personnel of the crew were staying in a large villa on the island during the shoot.

"It’s practically working while vacationing, no wonder it’s a big production movie..."

Jiayi, carrying the sample garments, sighed at such a comfortable filming environment.

"Miss Chu from F.Wang, right?" a crew member approached.

"Yes." Jiayi put away her appreciative thoughts and quickly responded.

"Please follow me inside. The directors will be selecting from the competing firms one by one, then choose the collaborator."
