Chapter 315 Huo Sinian, Do You Dare?

An hour later, the two finished their dinner together.

Huo Sinian went back to his study to handle work. Lin Tan originally planned to pretend to go and keep him company, but she received a call from her agent the moment she picked up her water glass.

She thought she was being asked to have dinner with President Sun to apologize for what happened last time.

Just as she was thinking about how to refuse, her agent's voice came through the phone, much calmer than usual: "Lin Tan, tell me honestly who you're with right now."

Lin Tan paused.

I didn't expect her to ask that.

Because Huo Sinian didn't like others knowing about their relationship, he never allowed her to acknowledge it in public.

Even her agent didn't know.

"Don't rush to deny it," the agent said bluntly, not giving her a chance to lie. "I've been in this industry longer than you have, so I have some guesses about your situation."

Lin Tan tightened her grip on her phone slightly.

The agent changed his previous attitude: "If you don't tell me, how am I supposed to help you with emergency public relations if it gets exposed after you become famous?"

"Fire?" Lin Tan was surprised to hear that word come out of her own agent's mouth.

She was a minor celebrity, one of many artists under the agent's management. However, she was given special attention because of her outstanding appearance and professional acting skills, so much so that she had high hopes for her from the moment she took her under her wing.

But ever since she was "shelved" after every film she made and refused to accept unspoken rules, I no longer have any hope for her.

"All the roles you had backlogged have been brought up." Her agent didn't mince words. "I checked the schedule, and your roles will start airing gradually starting next Wednesday at the latest."

Lin Tan was startled and subconsciously looked towards the study.

But she dismissed the thought in an instant.

It couldn't be Huo Sinian.

He didn't like her being noticed or discovered by too many people, and he didn't want to appear on screen and be told that he loved or liked her.

But who else could it be besides him?

“I can understand even if you go with someone else,” the agent said bluntly. “As long as you can become famous and popular, and don’t commit crimes, I can accept anything.”

Lin Tan knew, of course, that she could accept it; otherwise, she wouldn't have arranged a dinner with President Sun for her.

"Nobody's here." Lin Tan remained calm, not letting her emotions show at all. "I don't know what happened either."

"You really don't know?" the agent remained skeptical.

Lin Tan hummed in agreement.

The agent wanted to ask more questions.

Lin Tan asked her to help her find out who had helped her.

Unsurprisingly, her request was rejected by the agent. How could someone as obscure as her, who hadn't even appeared in a single film or television series, possibly expect such treatment?

Lin Tan knew this was the outcome; she had only said this to prevent Lin Tan from asking too many questions.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Tan stood in the room for a long time, her mind a turmoil of emotions.

She should be happy that all her roles are being promoted, but when she thinks about Huo Sinian's methods, she is not sure. Given his personality, he might expose her being kept by someone after she becomes a little famous, forcing her to leave the entertainment industry.

He never cared about the harm he caused her.

He will use every means to achieve his goal.

She couldn't say that the person who was keeping her was him. As an artist with no fame or family background, trying to provoke a business tycoon would only make her more ridiculed online.

Thinking of this.

She took her water glass to the study to find Huo Sinian.

She decided to take a gamble.

No one would release all of her scenes for no reason. Either they have a conflict with her, or they are deliberately trying to cause trouble for Huo Sinian. In either case, it is certain that the person who released the scenes without going through Huo Sinian is no ordinary person.

"Knock knock".

"Enter."

Lin Tan brought in the hot water.

She placed the water glass in front of him, then stood there motionless, seemingly wanting to say something but unable to.

Huo Sinian noticed her expression and pulled her into his arms: "Is something wrong?"

"Yes." Lin Tan looked at him with a complicated expression in her eyes.

Huo Sinian's warm fingers caressed her fingertips, his attitude as gentle and approachable as ever: "Go ahead."

Lin Tan: "Thank you."

Huo Sinian raised his eyebrows.

Lin Tan's eyes softened: "You're willing to let me continue working."

Huo Sinian asked, "What kind of job?"

“Your agent already told me, so you don’t need to hide it anymore.” Lin Tan said deliberately. She was an excellent actress, perfectly capturing all sorts of subtle emotions and expressions. “If it weren’t for you, who else would have released all my scenes?”

Rather than living in fear later, it's better to bring it out into the open now.

Either Huo Sinian intercepts her again, or she can avoid being universally criticized online and continue being a nobody celebrity.

Either Huo Sinian is unable to interfere, or her career officially begins.

Huo Sinian paused, his gentle eyes turning dark.

"Not you?" Lin Tan paused.

"Your agent told you that all your scenes have been released?" Huo Sinian's tone was unreadable.

Lin Tan: "Yes..."

Huo Sinian took her out of his arms and said, "You go and rest first, I still have things to do here."

Lin Tan hesitated for a moment, then finally said only one word: "Okay."

She didn't ask any more questions. She could never figure out Huo Sinian's personality. All she could do was gamble again and again.

It's either win or lose.

The study door closed, and Huo Sinian's aura suddenly turned cold. His long, gentle eyes were now shrouded in a deep, dangerous darkness. He picked up his phone and made a call.

One minute later.

He got the answer.

He called the person responsible for the incident.

Huo Zhizhou had just finished explaining things to Jiang Yu when he received the call, and he didn't say a word as he swiped to answer.

"You did what happened to Lin Tan." Huo Sinian's words were a statement of certainty.

Huo Zhizhou: "Yes."

Huo Sinian's tone was cold: "You should know that we have always kept to ourselves. I haven't interfered with you, so don't meddle in my business."

"Have you forgotten about how you ruined the software project last time?" Huo Zhizhou reminded him.

If it weren't for Huo Sinian's intervention...

With so much effort and care put in by Ruan Ruan, the Jingzhou project was already secured.

Huo Sinian did not deny it: "There was a reason for it, it was not intentional to make things difficult."

Huo Zhizhou readily admitted, "I did it on purpose."

"Huo Er." Huo Sinian's breath was cold, and you could tell he was angry about this. "Don't test my bottom line. You probably don't want things to get too awkward between us. If I really make a move, Jiang Ruan won't get away with it either."

"You can give it a try." Huo Zhizhou's tone was calm, as if he had already planned everything.

A deep look flashed across Huo Sinian's eyes.

Huo Zhizhou kindly reminded her, "Besides me, Ruan Ruan also has the Li family and Qin family of Haicheng as her backers. It's not impossible for you to take a gamble, but you will never have the chance to snatch the position of the head of the Huo Group from me in this lifetime."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Huo Zhizhou struck at his heart: "Huo Sinian, do you dare?"
