Xu Fan waved his hand and said he agreed.

Liao Fanxing was secretly delighted. He said this only to test how much Xu Fan had a grasp on box office performance. That was one reason.

Another reason, as he himself said, is that the company's market value looks high now, but its actual liquid funds are pitifully small.

Next, we'll be filming a movie, which involves a lot of expenses for the team, actors, costumes, makeup, and so on. We need to save as much as we can in the early stages.

So when Liao Fanxing saw that Xu Fan had agreed, he asked, "What is the third request?"

Xu Fan looked at Liao Fanxing's blatant gaze, which was like the gaze of someone looking at newly sprouted tender chives, and couldn't help but say, "Don't look at me like that, it'll make me blush."

Liao Fanxing coughed awkwardly and looked away.

Xu Fan said, "Thirdly, I hope you can go to the hospital to see Mr. Zhou in person."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Fan saw Liao Fanxing's eyes suddenly change, and her entire aura seemed to change.

Liao Fanxing frowned deeply and took a long time to speak before saying, "We are discussing business. There's no need to involve my personal matters in this."

Xu Fan chuckled and said, "If it weren't for this personal matter, do you think I would choose a sunset industry? Starry Sky Pictures is facing more than just the failure of a few films. There is also pressure from other major film companies. Do you think I chose your company because of your strength?"

Liao Fanxing was speechless for a moment, so he had to change his approach and said, "Fanxing Pictures is indeed facing many problems right now, but as the old saying goes, even a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Our strength is beyond doubt; we've just reached a bottleneck."

Xu Fan snorted and said, "But as the saying goes, a plucked phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken. I think Fanxing Pictures is basically facing paralysis now."

Liao Fanxing shook her head and said, "Don't worry about that. Although Fanxing Pictures is indeed facing some difficulties right now, I believe there will be a rainbow after the storm."

Xu Fan said, "In that case, Mr. Liao still doesn't want to visit Mr. Zhou next week, right?"

Xu Fan steered the conversation back on track, and Liao Fanxing sighed helplessly.

Xu Fan looked slightly helpless and asked, "Mr. Liao, is something on your mind? Is there some unavoidable reason?"

Liao Fanxing shook her head and said, "I need to think about this."

Xu Fan said, "Mr. Liao actually knows that although he has not raised you, he has always been thinking of you. He has been searching for you for decades and finally found you, but he still cannot hear you call him 'Dad'. Now the old man's health is deteriorating day by day. Do you want him to close his eyes with regret?"

"Stop talking," Liao Fanxing said, shaking her head. "I need to think about this. If Mr. Xu has nothing else to say, you may leave now."

Xu Fan stood up but did not pick up the script.

He knew that everything had to be done gradually. Liao Fanxing actually cared about Grandpa Zhou, but for some reason, she was unwilling to acknowledge him.

Xu Fan left the office.

Liao Fanxing plopped down in his chair, his eyes instinctively glancing at the two words on the cover of the script.

"Lost and Found"

He suddenly remembered decades ago, when he was only five and a half years old. He remembered his father riding a bicycle, and him sitting in the back seat to go to the market.

The sky was a bit overcast that day; it probably didn't rain.

He couldn't quite remember, but he remembered that a kind-looking older sister came out and gave him a lollipop, and he tried to tug at his father's sleeve.

But the father kept his head down, buying himself a beautiful red rattle drum.

The rattle drum sounded, but he was picked up by the older sister holding a lollipop and walked away into the distance.

He started calling for his father as soon as he heard the sound of the rattle drum!

His father chased after him frantically, but the older girl pulled him into a car.

It must have been a three-wheeled vehicle; the dirt road was extremely bumpy.

He was a child, and he kept crying.

That vicious woman started hitting him, trying to stop him from crying.

He cried even harder as he watched his father chase after him on his bicycle, and the woman beat him even more severely.

The father did not catch up, and he was transformed by those people several times.

Then he came to the home of a man surnamed Liao, and from then on, he only remembered that his surname was Liao.

His memory began to falter, but he remembered his father chasing after him on his bicycle, and he remembered his father's unwilling shouts.

===Chapter 62 Liao Fanxing's Choice (This chapter is free)===

He had already forgotten what that vicious woman looked like.

But he remembered that his father liked to use a rag as a belt, and he remembered that there was a stream where he lived, and the surrounding riverbanks were very wide. It would freeze in winter and the ice would melt in summer.

He only remembers these things; he has forgotten the rest.

The father, surnamed Liao, treated me very well. He never hit me, encouraged me to study, and bought me delicious food.

But he remembered in his heart that his father's surname was Zhou.

He heard his father crying, so when he grew up, he searched for his father, and more than once.

But those scenes in my memory have become less clear. Using rags as a belt was something that happened more than ten years ago. Would Dad still keep that habit?

Will not.

He remembers that the riverbank beside the stream was very wide, but he was so small back then.

So he couldn't find it.

Moreover, he had been secretly searching for all of this, and he never dared to tell his father, Liao, about it.

He could only keep it to himself.

Until a few years ago, he suddenly heard that a man was riding a motorcycle from the Northwest to Zhonghai, traveling from north to south across most of China, just to find his lost child.

He cried for a long time when he heard the news that day.

The child that person was looking for looked just like himself! That person was carrying a rattle drum, and it made a sound wherever he went.

He secretly went to see that person; his aged face made it impossible to tell his age.

Time has left its cruel marks on him.

He couldn't recognize whether it was his father or not.

The elderly couple couldn't recognize their children. Looking at each other, they already knew the outcome deep down, but they couldn't believe it.

They went to the hospital and confirmed the diagnosis.

On the day the results came out, he saw the old man jump for joy in the hospital.

After searching for more than ten years, I finally found my child.

But he didn't show up that day.

He didn't answer the old man's call; he just silently apologized countless times.

He missed his father very much, but he also harbored some resentment towards him.

Why did you ignore me when I tugged at your sleeve that day?

This was his biggest question, but seeing him searching for him with a rattle drum made him very sad.

But he still didn't go to see him because Liao's father called him that day.

Then he went to see his adoptive parents.

The conversation after they met made him realize one thing: he could only have the surname Liao.

Only in this way can he inherit all of the Liao family's assets, and if any accidents occur, the Liao family will have no connection with him.

Only in this way can one live a more fulfilling life and truly become a superior person.

He knew he was selfish, but he wasn't vain. Although he had lived a life of luxury since childhood, he still longed for the carefree days his father spent with him.

But when he saw his father still wearing that cloth belt, he chose to give up.

They cannot recognize each other.

Of course, it's not that he looks down on his biological father, nor would he be the kind of person who abandons his adoptive parents for his biological father. Liao's father has never hit him since he was a child. Now that he's over thirty, Liao's father always calls to ask if he's eaten.

Liao's father had no other children besides himself, so he wouldn't let Liao go and acknowledge his biological father.

Perhaps Mr. Liao was a little selfish, but he could understand that the Chinese tradition of carrying on the family line seemed to have always existed.

Another reason he refused to acknowledge his father was that he wanted the best for him, and that meant he had to be more successful himself.

Because he knew that Liao's father had discovered his search for his father, which was why he so strongly insisted that he could not reunite with his father.

He wasn't angry; he began to try to take control of Starry Sky Pictures, and his strength and abilities grew stronger and stronger.

But at this moment, some bastard suddenly posted a message online claiming that he was not Liao Fanxing's biological son. This seemingly fabricated but actually true message excited many netizens.

Meanwhile, some peers also began to speak out.

Then they gradually started kicking and punching, and Starry Night Pictures began its decline.

Meanwhile, his father, Liao Qicheng, is now enjoying his retirement and has gone on vacation abroad with his wife.

Before leaving, she only left him with one sentence: he must not meet his biological father, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

He didn't know what the consequences would be, so he dared not acknowledge her.

Xu Fan approached him twice, but he still couldn't make a decision, simply because Liao's father had given him some instructions.

He actually didn't want to believe in these superstitious things.

But sometimes, certain special circumstances seem to confirm the existence of this matter, just like when he met his father, but because he lacked the courage to be firm, he did not acknowledge him.

But since then, my abilities and strength have grown stronger and stronger, but the company has only been developing for a little over a year before it started to decline.

Therefore, he was afraid.

He was even more afraid when he heard Xu Fan say that his father was critically ill.

He was afraid that if he recognized her, they would separate again.

This feeling is hard to describe, but it truly comes from the bottom of my heart.

Liao Fanxing could no longer hold back in his office. This grown man in his thirties began to cry incessantly, tears streaming down his face.

Xu Fan returned to the hospital.

Dou Shui'er remained seated on the stool, her little mouth opening and closing.

Xu Fan walked in quietly and heard Dou Shui'er telling a story to Grandpa Zhou. As he approached Dou Shui'er from behind, the old man saw him and said softly, "Xiao Fan, you've come."
