Shen Cang withdrew his hand, lowered his head, and looked into those beautiful, large eyes as if he were peering into a galaxy.
Shen Cang had intended to get angry or at least scold the little one sternly.
But seeing her cute little demeanor, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
Shen Cang’s eyes were filled with helplessness as he sighed softly, "From now on, you cannot disclose anything about the Special Department."
Little Taotie cocked her head, her eyes brimming with confusion.
Seeing that she was unaware of her mistake, Shen Cang had to make himself even clearer, "I’ve seen the Time-Space Monster Management Bureau, and the design of the castle is too similar to the Ancient Castle of the Special Department, the office area as well. It wasn’t your idea, was it?"
Little Taotie blinked, then blinked again, her gaze flitting about, not daring to look at him any longer.
When the screenwriters gathered everyone to discuss in a meeting what the headquarters of the Time-Space Monster Management Bureau should look like - whether it should be a modern skyscraper towering into the clouds, an antiquely charming brick and tile house, or a cave in a deep forest...
Little Taotie blurted out, "Like the castle in Snow White!"
To her surprise, the screenwriters immediately decided on that.
Little Taotie didn’t know that the screenwriters actually thought the castle was a bit too extravagant considering the expensive rent, but when they thought about Little Taotie being a Little God of Wealth and that her suggestions were sure to make the show popular, they bit the bullet and made the decision.
Seeing Little Taotie lower her head and anxiously fidget with her hands, Shen Cang knew she realized her mistake and sighed once more, "We, need to move."
"Ah?" Little Taotie raised her head, her eyes full of astonishment and incomprehension, "Because the show used a castle, we can’t use it anymore?"
"Never underestimate anyone. It could lead people to make the connection to this place. Even if no one makes the connection, for safety and confidentiality, we need to be cautious."
"It’s all my fault..."
"What’s done is done, think of a way to make amends."
Little Taotie lowered her eyelids, her little mouth pursed and the corners of her eyes reddening, "I... I will make amends!"
Shen Cang’s lips twitched upwards for a moment but then straightened again as he asked, "Do you have a plan?"
Little Taotie clenched her little hands, somewhat at a loss.
But she knew that when you do something wrong, you must find a way to make it right!
Otherwise... it would weigh too heavily on her heart, and she would be unable to sleep...
"I... I’ll find a way."
"Good, I’ll give you a chance. Three days, I hope you come up with a solution."
Little Taotie returned to the villa without eating and went straight to her room.
Her unusual behavior worried everyone at home as they all turned their gaze to Hua Jinyan who had come and gone with her.
Hua Jinyan hesitated for a moment.
This was a matter of the Special Department, and by rules, he should not inform them.
But faced with their concerned looks, he still told them.
Cheng Guodong slammed his hand on the table, "What does this have to do with my sister! Can’t a variety show use a castle as a backdrop? The Special Department is being too domineering!"
Gu Yixing’s face darkened, "There are so many castles in the world, does it bother him that much? I think he’s just making things difficult for her!"
Qin Xin was calmer than both, sipped his coffee, and spoke evenly, "This is not the time for helplessness, anger, and pointing fingers. We should also contribute and think of a way to help her make amends."
Cheng Guodong shouted angrily, "She’s done nothing wrong, what is there to make amends for!"
Qin Xin spread his hands, "What’s the point of yelling at us? If you have the guts, go to the Special Department and rant at Shen Cang, that old coot."
Cheng Guodong pursed his lips, thought of that white-haired old monster, and felt intimidated, immediately backing down.
He coughed awkwardly, "Let’s think of a way to make amends."
