The Epic Entertainment had done extremely well within the first few months. It marked the presence of Yang Corporation in the big entertainment world of movies. Many stars now wanted to be a part of the Epic and the demand had increased so much that it was impossible to sign up all of them.
Wu Lina had only been recruiting more and more people as the company expanded. There were ten managers under her who were now having five to six stars to manage. It was becoming hectic and the work load had increased. She didn't know that the within a short time, the company would scale new height.
However, she had become extremely cautious as to which stars she would sign. In the beginning when she had approached them, they had rejected her outright, but now most of the ones who rejected her wanted to come to her. They liked the fact that she was extremely professional, there was no favoritism in the company and all stars were dealt with according to their performances, which was unlike most other similar companies where favoritism and nepotism was a norm. People had become tired of it and they wanted a change. Hence they were flocking to sign up with her. The B grade stars that she had signed up originally were afraid that she might annul their contracts after getting so many A grade stars, but no such thing happened and they were assured by her secretary Che Mingliang that they would be retained until their contract is valid. However, they had to now compete with the A grade stars.
Wu Lina would personally check the records of all the stars before signing them up and it was an ongoing lengthy process. All her managers were strict ones from various parts of the country. They had tons of experience and their track records were good.
However, for Yang Xinyu it meant that his wife would give him less time. He had started throwing tantrums at home. Wu Lina was in the seventh month of pregnancy. The babies would move a lot inside her, often giving her restless nights. Then there was Yang Xinyu who was himself becoming like a baby. She would wonder how would she manage four babies at a time.
One evening when she was back from office, Yang Xinyu was already at home, reading a magazine. He was sitting with the pillows propped up and legs stretched in front.
"Hey! You are so early today?" she was surprised and happy to see him.
Yang Xinyu didn't answer. He pouted his lips in anger and turned the page of the magazine to show his disp.l.e.a.s.u.r.e.
Wu Lina signed and went to the bathroom. When she came out he was still there reading the magazine intently. She shook her head and went and sat near him.
"Xini baby?" she asked softly stroking his lovely silky black hair.
But Xini baby turned to the other side and puffed his cheeks. "Don't talk to me," he said.
"If you won't speak as to why are you angry, how will I know what is wrong?"
Yang Xinyu stayed quiet. Wu Lina started to leave when he said suddenly, afraid that she wouldn't hear his complain again, "You are not paying attention to me! You are only worried about your new company. I don't want you to work so hard. I want you to be with me ALL THE TIME!"
Wu Lina went back to him and smiled. She held his face in her hands and turned it towards him. "Are you sure? Because you know how cranky I become when there is no work for me."
"Yes I am sure. I don't mind cranky Lina. At least I will have her all by myself."
Wu Lina smiled again. Holding his hand she brought it on her belly. Yang Xinyu could feel a kick on his hand. He eyes became wide and he brought another hand on her belly. All of a sudden there were so many kicks that he became excited.
He lowered his head to her belly and said, "Boys, stop playing so much around! Give your mom some rest. When you are out I will play with you as much as you want!"
Then he looked at Wu Lina and said, "Lina, my kids are playing inside. They are so active!" He spoke laughing like crazy.
She nodded and said, "Now tell me, with the three of them doing all that fun inside and you throwing tantrums on the outside, which baby am I supposed to take care of first?"
Yang Xinyu looked at her perplexed, "What do you mean? Of course me!"
"You will only take care of me Wu Lina. There is no competition here. I will take care of the kids while you look after me!"
She gave him an expressionless stare with a raised eyebrow.
Yang Xinyu ignored her and continued talking to his kids. And just like that his anger dissipated.
Ten minutes later he received a call from his father.
