Ying Xuan walked through the company's doors with light steps. Sunlight filtered through the glass curtain wall, casting a golden glow on her. Since she was already here, she thought, why not take a look around? The front desk staff, already informed, greeted her warmly and directed her to the top-floor offices. Ying Xuan's first impression of the company was one of vitality and hope. She felt as if she were entering an environment brimming with opportunities and challenges.

The elevator slowly ascended, the view unfolding outside the window. The hustle and bustle of the city seemed isolated on the other side. Ying Ni's heartbeat quickened, knowing that the upcoming meeting would determine many things. The elevator door slowly opened, and she stepped out. Before her was a large glass door with the words "Yan Shu's Office" engraved on it. This door seemed like a threshold, separating her from the opportunities and challenges she was about to face.

Yan Shu was already waiting in the office, standing by the floor-to-ceiling windows, her gaze fixed on the view. Hearing footsteps, she turned and greeted Ying Ni with a smile. After a few pleasantries, they began discussing the company's current situation. Yan Shu's voice was steady and powerful, her passion and confidence evident in every word. She detailed the company's current status and future development plans, providing Ying Ni with a deeper understanding of the company.

After the conversation, Yan Shu signaled to his secretary to show Ying Wan around the company's various departments. The secretary led her down the long corridors. With each department, she could sense the bustling yet orderly work atmosphere. Ying Wan meticulously observed every detail, feeling a deep admiration for Yan Shu's management skills. Seeing the employees' focused eyes and efficient work ethic, she understood that none of this was possible without Yan Shu's leadership and management.

Guided and accompanied by her secretary, Ying Xuan carefully toured the company's marketing, R&D, and human resources departments. In each department, the department heads and employees enthusiastically briefed her on their respective work, ongoing projects, and future development plans. Ying Xuan listened attentively, nodding frequently, demonstrating deep interest and understanding. This visit gave her a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of all aspects of the company's operations, and she is filled with confidence and anticipation for Yan Shu's leadership and the company's future development.

"Are you ready to leave?" Yan Shu asked softly, his eyes revealing complex and subtle emotions. Ying Ni smiled faintly and nodded in affirmation, her eyes revealing determination and composure. "Yes, although this place was created on a whim, my world is far more than this." Her voice revealed a calm and confident attitude.

Ying Xuan's holdings spanned nearly every industry, from food, clothing, housing, and transportation. She also owned countless properties, from skyscrapers in bustling cities to idyllic villas in tranquil rural areas. Her life was vibrant and filled with endless possibilities and choices. She turned to Yan Shu, her eyes gleaming with determination. "Don't worry, we'll meet again," she said, her words filled with anticipation for the future and a cherished sense of friendship.

Yan Shu sighed softly and nodded in understanding. She knew Ying Ni's decision was a well-considered one, irrevocable. But she also knew that no matter where Ying Ni was, their friendship would always shine like the brightest star in the night sky. Yan Shu smiled and offered a blessing: "Then I wish you a safe journey. I look forward to our next reunion." Her blessing was filled with well-wishes for Ying Ni and a cherished appreciation for their friendship.

Ying Lan smiled and nodded. She turned with confidence and grace, leaving the office with a leisurely pace. In the warm sunlight, her figure stretched across the ground, appearing exceptionally graceful and composed, as if she were striding towards an even brighter and more glorious future. Yan Shu stood there, watching Ying Lan's receding figure, her heart filled with boundless longing for the future and a deep appreciation for this precious friendship. She knew that although Ying Lan was about to embark on a new journey, an unknown journey, their bond and shared memories would be forever etched in their hearts, becoming an indelible part of their lives.

Ying Ni stood before the familiar, unfinished building, the afterglow of the setting sun casting a shadow on her pale face, illuminating her resolute expression. She sat atop the pavilion, the air thick with dust and dampness, a silent reminder of the desolation and loneliness of the place. Ying Ni recalled the question Yan Shu had asked her during the day, and she realized clearly that her two close friends had noticed a change in her. Since her return from the Xuanming Continent, her life, Yan Shu's, and Wen Hui's had trajectories diverged dramatically, each inhabiting a completely different world, like two parallel universes, unable to intersect.

Yan Shu and Wen Hui's world is peaceful and stable, filled with certainty and security, like a tranquil haven. Ying Ni's world, however, is filled with uncertainty and change. Her opponents are the heavens and the mysterious forces hidden behind the scenes. The challenges and difficulties she faces are unimaginable. All she can do is hold on to their childhood dreams and strive hard to live freely, unfettered by any constraints.

Yan Shu and Wen Hui also sensed the change in Ying Li. They knew it was beyond their control, a fate unavoidable, the price of growth. Since Ying Li did not want them to intervene, did not want them to share her heavy burdens, they chose to turn a blind eye, unwilling to become a burden. All they could do was silently support her, sincerely wish her well, and pray for her. As they had promised in childhood, they did not seek to live or die together, but only to carry each other's wishes and move forward, bravely walking on the path of life.

Ying Ni stood by the French window, gazing out at the bustling nightscape of the city, yet a surge of worry welled up in her heart. She knew all too well the complex and volatile nature of the entertainment industry, and the future of Yan Shu and Wen Hui was filled with uncertainty. She took a deep breath, picked up her phone, and called Shan Zhizhi.

"Uncle Shan, this is Ying Ni." Her voice was calm and firm, as if she had made all the preparations at this moment. On the other end of the phone, Shan Zhizhi's voice was a little surprised: "Ni Ni, it's so late, what's going on?"

Ying Xuan took a deep breath and said slowly: "I have a request. I hope that China can protect Yan Shu, Wen Hui and our Ying family within its rights." There was a hint of pleading in her voice, but more of it was firmness and determination.

Shan Zhizhi was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Niannian, you know, the power of a nation is great, but it's not unconditional. I don't have that right, but I can negotiate with the nation on your behalf. Tell me your bargaining chip." Yingnian smiled faintly, a glint in her eyes. "I can protect China for the rest of my life. As long as I live, this promise will remain valid forever."
