Chapter 270

~4 min read 652 words

But if there's any unreasonable request...

So what if she's the Know-It-All King's daughter? Xu Can would rather deal with the hassle than indulge her.

He pressed the Andong Sect doorbell, and Ivanka stood at the door in a black silk nightgown, exuding allure.

"Come in." She still looked at Xu Can with that cold, aloof gaze, then casually returned to the sofa in the living room.

Xu Can closed the door and went over, seeing two glasses of red wine on the coffee table.

"Have a seat. This is a '92 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon dry red I just opened. The taste isn't bad, try it."

Whoa, 500,000 US dollars popped open just like that — worthy of a Young Lady indeed.

Xu Can didn't stand on ceremony either; the $500,000 red wine went down like iced black tea, drained in one gulp.

"Speak, what's wrong with the script?"

"I feel that in the story you're deliberately elevating CNSA and smearing NASA."

Ivanka swirled her wine glass, her whole body leaning against the sofa, charming yet still elegant.

"The future described in the story is just a reasonable inference based on facts. Where does the 'smearing' come from?"

Xu Can said with a half-smile,

"Besides, this is to make a promotional film for CNSA. Promoting CNSA's strength is perfectly normal, isn't it?"

Ivanka furrowed her delicate brows slightly and shook her head.

"You know, my father has some social activities, and he needs to maintain good relations with his colleagues..."

Ivanka carefully considered her wording and said earnestly,

"If you really film according to this script, our whole family will be labeled, my father will be seen as one of your people, and he might be attacked by opponents or colleagues. You understand, right?"

Xu Can understood what Ivanka meant.

No matter which country one holds office in, one can't avoid 3.7 the fancy attacks and scheming.

Any trivial reason could drag a group down from its horse.

Ivanka and the Know-It-All King behind her being cautious is understandable.

But this is not a reason for her to interfere with his creative work.

After listening, Xu Can showed no reaction, merely rising calmly.

"The red wine is very good. You can slowly finish the rest yourself. I'm going back to sleep."

"Wait, it's just modifying the script, no need for that, right?"

Seeing this, Ivanka, rarely showing a hint of urgency, grabbed Xu Can's arm.

"Princess Ivanka, when you first invested I emphasized that film creation is my territory, and no one can interfere. Understand?"

Xu Can turned his head, his piercing gaze making Ivanka's delicate body tremble as she stepped back half a pace.

Seeing Xu Can insist on leaving the room, Ivanka went up again and grabbed his shoulder.

"We can still discuss... ah!"

But in a flash of lightning, Ivanka let out a startled cry — she had already been slammed against the nearby wall by Xu Can.

Everything happened too fast, catching her completely off guard!

"Young Lady, is this the attitude for discussion?"

Xu Can said softly in her ear with a sinister smile.

At this moment, the originally gentle and gentlemanly Xu Can was practically comparable to assassin John Wick, or the Joker!

Ivanka's hair stood on end in horror!

Having lived a life of luxury and comfort for years, she had never experienced such a dangerous moment.

Her instinct was to scream for help... but!

Xu Can's whisper in her ear inevitably brought back memories of the last meeting room experience.

Though clearly very afraid, she also felt an indescribable... thrill!

Xu Can had originally just wanted to make her realize the Yan Zhongxing of the problem and stop throwing her Young Lady tantrums.

Looking at her pale, frightened pretty face, Xu Can felt the heat was enough — she should be able to lower her stance now.

Wait... why is your face red?.
