Liao Qicheng's laughter stopped abruptly.
Then he looked at Xu Fan and said, "What if I break my promise?"
Xu Fan shook his head and said, "That kid couldn't do anything about it."
Liao Qicheng looked doubtful, then smiled calmly and said, "So young, yet so unfazed by honor or disgrace. You are destined for greatness."
Then he glanced at Liao Fanxing beside him and said, "Fanxing, you should learn from Xiao Xu."
The change in Liao Qicheng's attitude—from "Mr. Xu" to "Little Xu"—slightly eased Zhao Feiyang's earlier tension.
After all, his presentation of the betting agreement between Xu Fan and Liao Qicheng was seen as provocative by anyone, but fortunately, Liao Qicheng didn't say anything.
Zhao Feiyang took a sip of tea, smiled sheepishly, and said, "It is indeed good tea."
Compared to the tea brewed by Chen Yuanyuan, this tea was truly not bitter; for him, tea that wasn't bitter was good tea.
Liao Qicheng picked up the kettle again and gently filled their teacups. Xu Fan picked up his cup, took a sip, and said, "It seems Mr. Liao has something else to say?"
Liao Qicheng nodded and said, "It can't escape your eyes."
Xu Fan said, "Mr. Liao, please just say it directly."
Liao Qicheng said, "Fanxing still needs to grow, and I hope he can learn more at your company."
Xu Fan and Zhao Feiyang were both taken aback.
Liao Fanxing was Liao Qicheng's adopted son. Although he failed to manage the company well in the later stages, leading to its near bankruptcy, he did not achieve his goal.
However, this has little to do with Liao Fanxing. It was because of some things that Liao Qicheng did that other companies had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Moreover, in the process that followed, Liao Fanxing also demonstrated his strong leadership ability in the company.
At this point, Liao Qicheng made such a request, but it was definitely not for Liao Fanxing to study.
After all, with Liao Fanxing's current abilities, she would be a good leader in any company within the Fanxing Group.
But Liao Qicheng did not do that; instead, he allowed Liao Fanxing to remain at Fanxing Film Studio.
Xu Fan's mind raced, and his first thought was that Liao Qicheng was pretending to admit defeat in the bet, but in reality, he wanted to use him to work for him.
But in an instant, he realized that he had been judging others by his own petty standards.
If I were to take over the business of Starry Night Pictures Agency directly, I would basically know nothing about it.
Hiring a professional manager would be an option, but they wouldn't be familiar with the company and it would take time to get to know them.
In addition, the talent agency, which seems large, is actually just one part of Starry Pictures.
It wasn't particularly important to either the Star Group or Liao Qicheng personally.
The only advantage is that Starry Sky Pictures has a number of signed artists.
However, these artists are not particularly well-known at present. At most, there are only two second-tier actors and singers, and one actor who is close to first-tier.
During the filming of "Lost and Found," both second-tier actors also participated.
The lead actor was on sick leave at home and was unable to participate.
Therefore, Liao Qicheng wouldn't care too much about such a brokerage company.
At this time, he was willing to keep Liao Fanxing at Fanxing Pictures for a simple reason: he hoped that Liao Fanxing could help him.
Thinking of this, Xu Fan said gratefully, "That would be best. President Liao is already familiar with Fanxing Pictures. It would be our honor if he could stay with the company."
Liao Qicheng laughed, knowing that Xu Fan understood his meaning, and said, "When Fanxing has learned enough, I will have him come back to work for me."
Xu Fan nodded and said, "Then thank you very much, Mr. Liao."
Liao Qicheng shook his head and said to Liao Fanxing beside him, "Fanxing, go and take the agreement to the conference room so that our lawyer and Xiao Xu's lawyer can meet. The content of the agreement will be based on the performance-based agreement we agreed on before. We'll come over to sign the contract later."
Xu Fan also asked Zhao Feiyang, "When will they arrive?"
Zhao Feiyang said, "They should be here soon. I just called and they've already set off. I'm going to check on them now."
Liao Fanxing and Zhao Feiyang left.
Only Xu Fan and Liao Qicheng remained at the tea table.
Liao Qicheng suddenly said, "When people get old, they don't care about so many things anymore."
Xu Fan looked at Liao Qicheng, not understanding the meaning of his words. Liao Qicheng continued, "I also watched your movie 'Lost and Found,' which was very touching."
Xu Fan thought this was a compliment, so he said, "Thank you."
Liao Qicheng continued, "I also saw Grandpa Zhou yesterday."
Xu Fan looked at Liao Qicheng, who continued, "He's old, and I'm old too. Fanxing is still young. I accept him calling me 'Dad,' but what's wrong with calling Lao Zhou 'Dad'?"
Xu Fan didn't know what to say, so he could only nod.
Liao Qicheng said, "I really don't know what's going on in your head. How did you write such a good script and direct such a good movie at such a young age? I heard from Lao Yu that you were involved in the whole process except after the beginning."
Xu Fan smiled awkwardly and said, "It's alright, I'm not that outstanding."
Liao Qicheng was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Interesting."
Xu Fan picked up his teacup, and Liao Qicheng also picked up his teacup.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
The tea is at just the right temperature, just like the temperature of a person's heart; behind a seemingly cold exterior, there is sometimes a lot of warmth.
Liao Fanxing is Liao Qicheng's adopted son, but after raising him for so long, he is also considered his biological son.
He also wanted to possess it all to himself, but alas...
You can't do that.
Zhao Feiyang and Liao Fanxing, along with their legal teams, drafted an initial agreement, which was then supplemented.
Once everything was almost ready, he invited the two to the meeting room.
The two sat down, and the lawyer read the contents of the agreement aloud. Neither party had any objections.
Once signed and sealed, the agreement becomes effective.
Starting today, Starry Sky Pictures belongs to Xu Fan, which includes only Starry Sky Pictures' management company.
Because the full name of Fanxing Pictures is Fanxing Pictures Entertainment Brokerage Co., Ltd.
When Xu Fan received the contract, he didn't feel much excitement or emotion; the agreement was a natural outcome.
Liao Fanxing is still employed by the company, serving as its executive CEO.
The company is operating normally, with no changes to other staff positions, and everything is running smoothly.
In addition, Xu Fan finally learned the number of artists in the Starry Night Pictures agency: a total of seventeen.
However, his fame was only average, so Xu Fan didn't care too much about it.
He only hired a lawyer to change the company's name after confirming that the transfer agreement was in effect.
Fanxing Pictures has been renamed Fanxing Pictures effective immediately.
No one objected to this point. Liao Fanxing was slightly disappointed, but he understood that this was only natural.
He was not upset that his father lost the company to Xu Fan in a betting deal.
Because he understood that without Xu Fan, the company might not have existed at all.
And most importantly, I might never have acknowledged my biological father, and the movie "Lost and Found" wouldn't have become so popular.
His biggest worry now is what will happen to him and Xin Shuangyu.
Liao Qicheng hasn't mentioned this matter at all these past few days, but he knows it will come to light sooner or later.
He also knew about his adoptive father's meeting with his biological father. He didn't know what they talked about, but these were things he needed to think about.
Therefore, he didn't really care too much about the company's transfer.
Xu Fan got his wish and acquired Starry Sky Pictures.
To be precise, it should now be called Fanxing Pictures.
He didn't rush to get involved in the company's affairs, and temporarily handed everything over to Liao Fanxing to handle.
On the same day this matter was resolved.
The Ministry of Public Security has once again issued a message that has shocked the entire nation.
The Ministry of Public Security has once again dealt a fatal blow to a group of human traffickers active in Guizhou, Sichuan and other provinces.
This news shocked the entire nation, and the internet was filled with condemnation, wishing the human traffickers a terrible death.
The main point of discussion among netizens is that the leader of this human trafficker group, nicknamed "Third Concubine," escaped during this incident.
The Ministry of Public Security has issued a nationwide arrest warrant. If you see him, please contact your local police immediately.

===Chapter 222 Third Aunt Runs Away (Please support QQ Reading's official subscription, thank you)===
The news caused a stir across the internet.
A human trafficking gang of over thirty people was apprehended, but the real ringleader escaped.
This news immediately angered countless passionate people across the country, who began searching everywhere. Those who had seen the movie "Lost and Found" were especially furious about this woman known as the Third Concubine.
Human traffickers are objects of hatred by everyone.
It's outrageous that such a large gang has been discovered, so many people have been arrested, and so many children and women have been rescued, yet this woman managed to escape after being surrounded.
A nationwide manhunt has been launched, and netizens are searching everywhere for clues.
A nationwide manhunt was launched, and the Ministry of Public Security ordered police across the country to conduct a thorough search in order to capture the human trafficker's third wife.
Meanwhile, shortly after Xu Fan returned home and saw the news, he suddenly received a call from a leader of the Ministry of Public Security.
Kong Zhiyong is one of the leaders of the Ministry of Public Security.
He was in charge of this arrest operation. It should have been a cause for celebration to wipe out the entire gang, but the ringleader managed to escape, which made him feel very embarrassed. So he had to do everything he could to capture the third concubine.
Of course, his main purpose in calling Xu Fan was not because he thought Xu Fan could help him catch the third concubine.
Instead, they had other ideas.
When the call connected, Xu Fan didn't know who the other person was, so he simply greeted them normally: "Hello."
A burly voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, is this Mr. Xu?"
