Chapter 1106: Chapter 1075: The Glamour of the Entertainment Industry

If it weren’t for a good cause, He Tiantian wouldn’t have sought her out.

Moreover, before the year’s end, He Tiantian had already discussed it with them in advance, and after careful consideration, they decided to invest.

"I’m in too," said Qi Xiaoyan. She had invested together with He Tiantian and could make a fair amount of pin money every year.

With her two sons and husband earning money, she treated it as a good deed to bring blessings to her family.

Qi Zhengmin was about to give birth, and Yuan Hua had also found out she was pregnant, so feeling empathetic, she agreed too.

Seeing her suggestion endorsed by everyone, Wang Ying was very happy, one step closer to her goal. She said, "Seeking out the children one by one might be challenging. Why don’t we start from the disabled children’s welfare institutes and orphanages in Yanjing? Once we find a more effective method and develop more staff and volunteers, we can then expand to other areas."

"Yeah, not bad," He Tiantian agreed. "Since we’re gathered here, why not come up with a name?"

Yuan Hua thought for a moment and said, "Every child is an angel sent by God. How about we name it the Angel Charity Fund?"

Qi Zhengmin nodded in approval, "That’s a great name."

The name Yuan Hua proposed was unanimously approved by everyone.

Tang Qian came to pick Qi Zhengmin up to go home. On the way, Qi Zhengmin told him about the initiative.

"You ladies are really something!" Tang Qian said. "But you’re all kind-hearted. Since we have the capacity to help, let’s help those poor children. It will be like accumulating blessings for our unborn child."

"Yes, that’s what I think too," Qi Zhengmin said. "Tang Qian, you go and handle the relevant procedures."

"No problem," Tang Qian said with a laugh. "Once my entertainment company starts making money, I’ll also allocate some profits to the Angel Rescue Fund."

After returning, the women discussed the matter with the men in their families.

It was money they had earned from their own businesses, so as long as the women were willing, the men had no objections.

Later, Wang Ying and Tang Qian started working on this cause.

Even though the Snake King didn’t help, he still kept an eye on the Huo Family’s past issue.

It was only after the matter concluded that the Snake King realized the Huo Family was quite decent and also remembered that Li Mingkai was the educated youth from Qijia Village.

"Li Mingkai was too clever for his own good and harbored ill intentions," the Snake King said. Always seeking shortcuts, he never considered that there might be more traps along the quicker path.

A free lunch is often the most expensive one.

"Exactly, like hunters always setting traps along the paths where prey must pass to reach the water. If the prey takes a detour, it might escape," He Tiantian said. "Such people think they’re smart, but they only display petty cunning."

"By the way, I remember there was another woman quite similar to him, what was her name?" the Snake King knew a lot about He Tiantian’s affairs and his own, but he didn’t pay much attention to other people who were of no consequence.

"Lin Xiaoru, she’s also quite the troublemaker," said He Tiantian. "Though this woman wasn’t directly involved in the matter, her ambiguous relationship with Li Mingkai must have been intertwined. Now we have countermeasures, and these people won’t likely be reused. They were just being exploited without knowing the Huo Family’s secrets, so even if people used them to spread rumors, no big issues would arise."

"Oh, I see," the Snake King nodded. "As long as there are no threats, that’s good. Although the Huo Family got into trouble this time, it has proven their integrity, and probably no one will dare point fingers at them over economic matters anymore."

"Yes, consider it a blessing in disguise," He Tiantian said with a smile. "But it was really frustrating at the time."

"That’s what humans mean when they say, ’In the world of martial arts, one can’t help oneself,’" the Snake King remarked. "Since the Huo Family is involved in politics, having allies means having enemies—it’s inevitable."

"Yeah, that’s why we’re so cautious," He Tiantian said. "By the way, I’ve been so caught up with family matters recently, I haven’t had the chance to ask how you’re doing. How are things with you?"

"I’m doing well. The person Tang Qian has arranged for me is very capable. Now, I just have to do runway shows. I’ve received many offers to act in TV series, all of which I’ve declined, thinking them too tacky and nowhere near as cool as foreign productions," the Snake King said fastidiously. "I’m quite happy like this."

"Er, the kind of films they’re making now don’t really suit you," He Tiantian laughed, envisioning the haughty and carefree Snake King, perfect for those ethereal fairy-tale roles.

However, with the current special effects technology not yet mature, that probably wasn’t feasible.

"If you like acting, you could try martial arts dramas," He Tiantian suggested. "A modeling career can only last so long. Even if you stay forever young, you can’t do it for too long, or you’ll attract attention from all over the world. They might even want to catch you and study you in a lab."

With the matter resolved, He Tiantian spent time joking around with the Snake King.

Shrugging, the Snake King said, "You’re right, I really like the entertainment circle right now. But I can only do cool catwalks, not acting."

"That’s easy, you can take some time to learn acting at a film academy," He Tiantian smiled. "I used to teach at one of those schools. If you’re really interested, I can make arrangements for you."

"Sure, help me enroll in a class. Even being an auditing student would be fine," the Snake King replied. "Then, I might become a big star."

With the Snake King lightening the mood, He Tiantian felt much better. Huo Yingjie wasn’t surprised at the prospect of the Snake King becoming a star.

"Aren’t you curious?" He Tiantian asked. "Did you ever think a Spirit Serpent King would want to be a big star?"

"What’s so strange about that!" Huo Yingjie chuckled. "Li Xian’s nature is to enjoy being the center of attention. Plus, he’s good-looking and finds the hustle and bustle and excitement of daily life to his liking. He would never last a day doing experiments like I do."

"Yeah, it’s probably a matter of personality," He Tiantian agreed. "Either way, it’s good that the Snake King has found something he likes to do. Not only is he not bored, but he is also bringing profits to Tang Qian’s entertainment company. Now that the company has expanded, the expenses are considerable. Currently, the Snake King is the only one making money, but hopefully, Xiao Yan’s cassettes will sell well too. Then there will be two earners, and the company’s financial pressure will ease. Making money will also prove that they have a bright future and the confidence to keep going."

"It should work out," Huo Yingjie said. "Don’t worry about Li Xian. As for Xiao Yan, her releases are not just patriotic songs but also include popular elements and other good music, which should be marketable."

Currently, openly singing about romance was not feasible, so they chose songs that were grand, catchy, and had a popular appeal as an experiment.
