Xiao He left quietly before the two finished their conversation.
After all, accidentally overhearing someone poaching your agent... cough cough, it's quite embarrassing.
Of course, Xiao He didn't actually mind Shu Han poaching his agent.
As we can see from the conversation just now, Shu Han sought out Liu Rulan mainly to help her out, so his intentions were actually good.
Shu Han wasn't familiar with him, knew neither his character nor his abilities, so it was only natural for him to consider the matter from Liu Rulan's perspective.
However, hearing Sister Liu speak so highly of him still made him quite happy...
Xiao He walked around outside for a while, calculated the time it would take for the two to come downstairs, and then returned to the elevator entrance to meet them.
"Sister Liu, Teacher Shu," Xiao He greeted them as if nothing had happened, "Over here, the others are already waiting for us."
"Okay, just call me brother, no need to be so polite." Shu Han smiled and corrected Xiao He's form of address.
"You can just call him Brother Shu. He'll be coming back to develop his career in the future, so you'll have plenty of opportunities to meet him," Liu Rulan joked casually.
Xiao He nodded: "Okay, Brother Shu."
The group walked to the hospital's underground parking lot, then got into a car and left together.
Once they arrived at the hotel, everyone tidied up their own things. After Liu Rulan had recovered most of her energy, she invited Shu Han and Xiao He to have dinner at a nearby restaurant.
Everyone enjoyed the meal very much. Xiao He originally thought that Shu Han would be somewhat hostile towards him, but after spending time with him, he found that Shu Han was a particularly forthright person who spoke and acted very directly. He also had a kind of "loving" look towards Xiao He, like a senior looking at an outstanding junior.
It was during this meal that Xiao He learned the reason why Shu Han returned to China.
"The main problem is that it's too chaotic over there." Shu Han sighed. "It's hard to get by without capital, and even if you have capital, you're destined to be exploited by big capital."
"In the last film, that idiot director played those editing tricks on me, deliberately splicing together my scenes and lines to show off their righteousness. Luckily, when this film was outsourced, a friend of mine ran into it, otherwise I would have been really finished."
If the locals get involved with this stuff, they're all speechless, which can lead to a war of words and bloodshed. But for someone with his sensitive background like him, if he dares to get involved with it, all the years Shu Han has worked for would be for nothing.
They might be dragged into being a typical example by some political party, and then they won't be able to come back even if they want to.
Shu Han has come to realize that it's better to go back to China now, where he can earn money and keep his life safe, which is much better than living in fear abroad.
Moreover, Shu Han's contract with the company abroad had just expired, and he did not intend to renew it. After a legal "entanglement" with the previous production team, Shu Han chose to return to China quietly.
However, many people in China are still unaware that he has ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) returned to the country, and this news has not yet spread online.
Recounting his own painful history, Shu Han patted Xiao He on the shoulder and said sincerely, "I was forced to return to China in disgrace. Don't have too much of a romanticized view of that place. It's better to develop here now."
Liu Rulan smiled helplessly: "Xiao He has no plans to go abroad at the moment. He's still playing villains, so let's focus on establishing himself in the domestic market first."
Xiao He, on the other hand, was somewhat tempted.
If the criminals he films in the future have an impact that spreads overseas and becomes known to people all over the world, how many points would he get?
Enough said, if each person gave him one point, it would be enough for him to retire on the spot.
Hehe, just thinking about it is exciting!
"What are you thinking about now, kid?"
Liu Rulan called out to Xiao He, pulling him back from his beautiful reverie.
Xiao He immediately became serious: "I'm listening to Brother Shu."
After finishing this matter, Shu Han discussed the current situation of several companies in the entertainment industry with Liu Rulan. Xiao He listened in from the side, occasionally adding his own understanding of these companies.
After the meal, everyone was full, and they had also had their fill of gossip.
After resting well, Xiao He returned to the film crew the next day.
This time, however, the crew looked at him with much more respect.
After all, Xiao He was a ruthless man who dared to rescue people from a smoking oil tanker.
Who wouldn't be in awe of this!
After resting, Liu Rulan began to coordinate with the police regarding the car accident.
Everyone suffered heavy losses in this car accident. Although the culprit is now living a life worse than death due to inexplicable "phantom pain," he really has no money to pay compensation. However, the tanker truck driver's insurance company has provided compensation, which has relieved the pressure of medical expenses for many of the injured.
However, there are still a few people who may suffer lifelong disabilities, and this money is just a drop in the bucket for them.
After learning about the situation, Liu Rulan sighed and, after thinking for a moment, decided to guide public opinion online and prepare to raise funds to help these families who were in dire need of funds.
Meanwhile, the police are also working hard to follow the clues in Zhang Li's case to arrest all the staff who sold counterfeit drugs, and are holding onto their last hope to find out where the fraudulent money went.
Unfortunately, much of the money obtained by these fraudsters over the years has already flowed overseas. Once this money is overseas, it's like throwing mud into the sea—there's almost no hope of recovering it.
Even so, they did not give up. After all, Zhang Li's share of the money was included. If they could recover it, they could compensate the victims and help them get more treatment and opportunities.
As the police relentlessly pursued their investigation, a clear and traceable flow of funds actually emerged.
Fortunately, this fraud team was a small group and did not have such sophisticated money laundering methods. The police traced the flow of funds, reconstructed the money chain step by step, and actually found the whereabouts of the funds. They also successfully locked and froze the related accounts to prevent the funds from slipping away further under the operation of overseas accomplices.
So the final result was quite good. The police really won a great victory this time. They not only arrested all the people involved, but also recovered the money. This is a very rare thing in many fraud cases.
Although the technical staff in charge of the investigation had some doubts, feeling that the entire operation of finding clues and tracing the flow of funds was too smooth, as if divinely aided, and went to an unreasonable degree, they did not find any other suspicious traces after careful examination.
So he had no choice but to give up and happily go to claim credit for his work.
