After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1326 - 1325: Confirming Suspicions
Previously on After Marrying the Officer...
Responding to the director’s statement, Guo Jiumin remained expressionless and simply responded with a smile, "There’s no need for that."
"It’s my privilege to assist Young Madam Huo," Guo Jiumin stated, then turned his gaze to Xia Chuyi. "I’ve been in the capital for a considerable period but have yet to experience a proper tour."
"I wonder if Young Madam Huo might have the time to act as my guide?" Guo Jiumin inquired unexpectedly. "I am genuinely interested in learning about the ’Youwei’ franchise model from Young Madam Huo."
"My reasoning is that I perceive Young Madam Huo to be remarkably forward-thinking in numerous aspects," Guo Jiumin remarked, his smile widening cheerfully.
Upon hearing this, the peculiar sensation within Xia Chuyi grew more pronounced.
"Mr. Guo, you flatter me," Xia Chuyi replied calmly, despite the burgeoning suspicion in her mind.
"Flattered?" Guo Jiumin’s eyes held a knowing glint as he looked at Xia Chuyi. "Or perhaps, you’d say it’s a well-deserved compliment?"
"Establishing the ’Youwei’ franchise model, making investments in two highly anticipated films prior to their release, and subsequently investing in the real estate market of G City..." Guo Jiumin elaborated, "Young Madam Huo, your foresight appears to be exceptional."
Xia Chuyi’s eyes flickered for a brief moment upon hearing his words.
What precisely was Guo Jiumin implying?
Could it be what she suspected?
Whether it pertained to the franchise model, the film investments, or the real estate ventures...
Each of these endeavors had been initiated by Xia Chuyi, some actively, others more passively.
However, a unifying factor among them was that Xia Chuyi had undertaken them based on the experiences from her previous life.
Therefore, did Guo Jiumin's statement carry an underlying, hidden meaning?
Did Guo Jiumin... possess knowledge of some of her secrets?
A sudden, intense sense of vigilance washed over Xia Chuyi.
This heightened awareness prompted Xia Chuyi to adopt a more circumspect approach in both her speech and actions. "Foresight?"
At this juncture, Xia Chuyi shook her head and articulated herself with increased composure, "What foresight could I possibly possess? It is merely that the nation’s policies have been favorable, and I have been fortunate enough to seize upon a few minor opportunities."
"Is that truly the case?" Guo Jiumin maintained his amiable expression. "Then I, Guo, must indeed seek a thorough discussion with Young Madam Huo."
"After all, Young Madam Huo’s remarkable luck..." With that, Guo Jiumin turned his attention to the director. "Director, is your film still being screened?"
"Young Madam Huo, did you enter into a profit-sharing agreement for this particular film?" While phrased as an inquiry, Guo Jiumin’s eyes conveyed an unwavering certainty. "Director, my congratulations; your film is destined for continued box office success."
The director, naturally pleased to hear predictions of his movie’s success, promptly responded, "Thank you, Mr. Guo, for your confidence!"
Guo Jiumin offered a casual smile. "Confidence? Indeed, I possess immense confidence in your production."
"Some time ago, I found myself intrigued enough to watch your film..." Guo Jiumin suddenly shifted his focus back to Xia Chuyi. "Ah, yes, it was quite coincidental; at that moment, I happened to be watching it during the same screening as your second brother, Second Young Master Ou."
"Following the conclusion of the film," Guo Jiumin continued, "I was already assured that you, director..."
"You will undoubtedly forge a significant path in the cinematic industry, eventually becoming an undisputed authority within Z Country’s film landscape," Guo Jiumin added, his tone laden with unspoken significance. "Furthermore, this film will be etched into history, recognized as an enduring masterpiece of Z Country’s cinema."
Xia Chuyi’s gaze sharpened, her heart now resolute: Guo Jiumin was, without a doubt, involved in something suspicious.
