Chapter 210: The Time Management Master Goes Online! The Golden Globes Are Going Crazy!

Due to his addiction to playing Dou Dizhu, Kristen Stewart indeed stayed overnight at Sister Stone's house that day.

However, Xu Can's bold idea never got the chance to be implemented; Kristen was arranged into the guest room.

Hearing the commotion next door, Kristen didn't sleep well all night, momentarily not knowing whom to envy.

Back in Los Santos, Xu Can was mainly busy with the post-production of "Dying to Survive" and "Inception".

Since his studio, Star River Digital, was established, it had accumulated sufficient experience through many blockbusters like "Iron Man", "Spider-Man 2", and "The Dark Knight Rises".

By the time of the new "Inception", their technology had approached future maturity, sufficient to produce films with more complex special effects.

Soaking in the studio every day, a whole day would pass in a flash until Christmas arrived.

Xu Can's inevitable calamity arrived.

"Baby, come back with me for Christmas this year?"

Sister Stone was very expectant; she had long wanted to take Xu Can back to meet her family.

This was a signal of willingness to develop further, heading towards marriage.

If there were no one else, Xu Can would have gone; being with Sister Stone was comfortable, nothing bad about it.

But there was also Taylor Swift, making things difficult to handle.

Xu Can seemed to stand at a turning point of the game again, and an important turning point affecting the world line!

Unless he could advance the hidden plot, he could only choose one; he must select one line to advance.

Because Taylor Swift said so too.

"How about coming home with me? My mom really wants to meet you; her lasagna is simply superb, you must try it!"

Taylor Swift strongly recommended her future mother-in-law's cooking skills; her eyes shining with light looked like stars.

Facing this situation, Xu Can could only use that move.

The management technique.

"Great, I'd love to go; I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

He replied to both of them with the same words.

The problem was, Taylor Swift's home was in Nashville, Tennessee, near the East Coast.

Sister Stone's hometown was in Yalisangnazhou, Scottsdale near Phoenix, equivalent to the West Coast.

Flying from Nashville to Scottsdale takes over 5 hours; driving takes at least hours.

It seems doable, but this is Christmas!

Major airports across North America will be packed to the brim! Comparable to the Spring Festival travel rush!

Fortunately, this difficulty didn't stump Xu Can.

"Vanessa, help me book a Gulfstream private jet; from Nashville to Scottsdale on Christmas Eve night."

"Boss, private charter business between these two places is relatively rare; the price might be a bit higher."

"How much higher?"

"Uh, if flying from New York to Los Santos, it only costs 100,000. Flying from Nashville, it might cost around 180,000."

Huh? Only 80,000 dollars more expensive?

Xu Can probably drinks away 80,000 on a single bottle of wine now.

"Arrange it."

"Understood."

Vanessa instantly understood; these two places weren't just the hometowns of the two female stars?

Her boss was about to perform a limit operation: accompany Taylor Swift on Christmas Eve, then fly to Yalisangnazhou that night to spend Christmas with Sister Stone?

Of course, having worked for Xu Can for so long and being deeply trusted by him, she naturally wouldn't let anyone know about this matter.

Vanessa, a college student from an ordinary small town, had in less than two years almost become an executive at Star River Entertainment.

From a poor girl who couldn't even afford a bicycle to now driving a Camaro Bumblebee with an annual salary of one million dollars, all thanks to Xu Can.

She would naturally fulfill all of Xu Can's requests without hesitation, never speaking a word more.

On Christmas Eve, Xu Can first accompanied Taylor Swift to her hometown, Nashville.

Originally born in Pennsylvania, she moved her whole family to Nashville at age 14; like Pennsylvania, this was also a quiet small city.

The entire city block was even smaller than a fourth or fifth-tier town in Huaxia, with sparse population.

Taylor Swift's home was in a relatively edge suburb, with woods and large farms surrounding it.

Growing up in such an environment, no wonder she debuted as a country music little diva.

Upon arriving at Taylor Swift's home, her whole family was already waiting at the door to welcome them.

Her father, Scott Swift, was a stockbroker; dressed in a suit and tie with gold-rimmed glasses, he looked like the standard image of a successful person in North America.

Her mother, Andrea, was a housewife; with a plump appearance, she beamed with joy upon seeing Xu Can.

It truly was a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law; the more she looked, the more she liked him.

Her brother, Austin, was slightly less handsome than Xu Can; his work was mainly photography and performing in stage plays.

Austin was quite interested in the film industry and treated Xu Can with considerable politeness.

In short, the family's enthusiasm made Xu Can feel like he couldn't hold it together.

Fortunately, he had the eloquence of Jamie, the male lead in "Love and Other Drugs"; he spoke human language to humans and ghost language to ghosts.

Taylor Swift's family's evaluation of Xu Can rose exponentially; they almost wished for the two of them to get married on the spot.

Finally, after finishing a meal, Taylor Swift pulled Xu Can out, strolling along a country lane.

"Did my family scare you?"

Taylor Swift held Xu Can's arm, feeling somewhat apprehensive.

"Pretty good, they were all really warm and friendly."

"That's great." Mei Mei was overjoyed, her fox-like eyes curving into crescents.

"Oh right! Come with me!"

She suddenly thought of something, grabbed Xu Can, and started running.

Xu Can was dragged by her for two whole blocks, arriving in front of a quaint, distinctive two-story villa.

The villa had a bit of a 19th-century style, but the walls and decor were all brand new.

Both the front and back had sizable lawns and gardens, and the backyard also had a swimming pool.

Stepping inside, the interior was all European-style decor and furniture, as if Xu Can had been transported into the home of 19th-century court nobility.

"So, do you like it?" Mei Mei asked with a mysterious grin.

"Pretty nice. Are you thinking of buying this place?"

"Already bought it!"

Mei Mei could no longer hold it in and announced happily.

"Huh?"

"This is your property now, Mr. Homeowner."

"Wait... mine?"

"Yep, under your name. It cost me nearly five million dollars."

Mei Mei deliberately put on a pitiful look, but the delight at the corner of her eyes could no longer be hidden.

Xu Can was surprised, but also a little touched.

Although Mei Mei had risen rapidly over the past two years, becoming a powerful force in the Western pop music scene, this year's income was only about ten million.

Take Madonna, the ceiling of the music world — her peak income in 2004 was fifty million dollars.

It would take several more years before Mei Mei would slowly become a rich woman with a billion-dollar fortune.

Half of her income this year had actually been spent on this property — and it was a gift for him!

Xu Can truly felt her sincerity.
