Chapter 500: A Thousand-Person Concert Scene, the Whole Venue Erupts!

"If I had such an outstanding friend by my side, I could just look at his face every day and wouldn't need to date any other guys—I'd be happy just with that!"

"Look at how lovey-dovey they are—anyone who didn't know would think the two of them are a couple!"

Mei Mei had been gazing admiringly at the live broadcast of the awards ceremony, but she hadn't expected such a shot to be zoomed in on by the director's team.

"Please don't be angry—the director's team will do anything for their own ratings!"

The agent hurriedly brought over a glass of water.

They were in the final stage of officially recording the documentary, so her mood couldn't be affected.

"As long as you hold steady in your current state, once we finish the documentary we won't be this busy, and I'll definitely be able to stay home and keep Xu Can company often!"

Mei Mei shook her head.

"I know Xu Can likes women who have careers, likes capable women. I won't just stay home obediently as a housewife. I want to be a woman who balances career and family, and make sure Xu Can's heart stays with me forever!"

Anyone who could stay by Xu Can's side must have some real ability.

She had a clear understanding of what she should and shouldn't do.

After the awards ceremony ended, under the escort of the program team, they returned to the rest room.

"We were about to leave—what do you mean by this?"

"I'm really sorry, Director Xu Can. Our boss insists on meeting you—how about a casual meal sometime?"

Xu Can hurriedly stood up and straightened his suit.

"No need, I still have work to attend to. I don't have time to linger here!"

Howard arrived on the scene just as Xu Can was about to leave.

"What's the rush? Can't we sit down and have a proper chat?"

Xu Can looked up.

The expression on his face had already betrayed his inner thoughts.

"Coming to our little awards ceremony must mean you want to continue working with us. Besides, you've gained quite a few benefits too!"

"From the moment you announced your follow-up plans at our ceremony, I knew you were using our awards show to get traffic and free publicity. You've reaped all the benefits—shouldn't I get some too?"

Behind that seemingly smiling and calm expression, a hint of danger was actually showing through.

Xu Can could see it at a glance.

"You say I've reaped all the benefits? Then let me ask you—using my name to attend this awards ceremony, how much sponsorship ad fees did you actually take? Just the ads displayed on the red carpet alone should have earned you tens of millions of dollars, right?"

That was quite a hefty sum of income.

Using Xu Can's name to get so many high-exposure ads—these companies aren't fools. Wherever Xu Can is, more reporters will show up, and having the brand name appear on screen is a publicity opportunity for them in every way!

"And the music that played at your event must have been requested by the other party. Especially the background music when I went on stage—you didn't use music from our company, but from another company instead. You definitely took money for that!"

Xu Can could see their intentions at a glance.

Instead, Howard was left momentarily stunned by Xu Can's words.

"Let's leave it here. I won't say more. This time I used you, and you used me too, so we're even. If there's a chance to work together in the future, we'll talk then!"

He reached out and easily pushed the man in front of him aside.

He swaggered out the door, threatened by no one.

If anyone wanted to take advantage of him, it had to be with Xu Can's knowledge—and he would absolutely never be the one to lose out!

Finally, the day came for the film to be released in theaters.

Mei Mei curled up in Xu Can's arms.

"Honestly, you—after all the trouble to feel the enthusiasm of a live audience, you went and booked the whole theater again. It's just the two of us watching my own documentary in a cinema. Isn't that a bit boring?"

Those who wanted to buy movie tickets couldn't get any, yet Xu Can waved his hand grandly and booked the entire theater, just to watch the documentary alone with Mei Mei!
