He lured her deep into his trap, using both overt and covert methods to seduce her.

"Child, I'm talking to you on purpose, why are you spacing out?"

As Xiao Wan spoke, she gently waved her hand back and forth in front of Song Zhi's eyes.

Song Zhi slowly came to her senses, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes, and muttered, "Huh, what did you just say?"

For the past two days, Fu Lu's words have been constantly on her mind, to the point that she has become absent-minded and unable to concentrate at work, with her mind filled with nothing but Fu Lu.

She couldn't remember how she got back to her small apartment that night. The only thing she remembered was that when Fu Lu brought her back, he told her to think it over carefully.

Seeing Song Zhi's expression, Xiao Wan's face showed obvious dissatisfaction: "I said so much just now, and you didn't even listen to a word. I'm really impressed by you."

Song Zhi smiled awkwardly and quickly said, "Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I was thinking about something else and didn't notice you were talking to me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wan's curiosity was instantly piqued: "Speaking of which, you've seemed absent-minded these past two days. What have you been thinking about? Tell me quickly."

Song Zhi shook her head, not intending to reveal the matter.

"It's nothing, really nothing. By the way, what did you just say?"

"Hey hey, I'm having lunch with a cute guy, wanna come with me? Give me some advice!"

Xiao Wan said this with a look of pure joy on her face.

Song Zhi knew that she had been chatting intimately with a boy online during this time, but she didn't expect that it was just online chatting and they hadn't met in person yet.

Song Zhi looked at her infatuated expression, her lips twitching slightly, and couldn't help but retort, "What 'little brother'? Didn't you say you were going to cut off all love and relationships? Have you already forgotten?"

Xiao Wan chuckled, her face beaming with happiness and sweetness, and said, "Oh, that's all in the past! How could I possibly be so heartless and cut off all love? Come on, come with me, and help me check things out while you're at it."

As she spoke, Xiao Wan pulled Song Zhi's hand and swayed it from side to side.

Song Zhi instinctively wanted to refuse, saying, "Let's forget it. It's not appropriate for me to go along with you two when you're being lovey-dovey. Besides, I have a lot of work to do."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wan immediately pouted, looking aggrieved, and said, "Oh, it's just a meal, it won't take up much time. Besides, we're good friends, shouldn't you give me some advice?"

Song Zhi was speechless at what she said, but she didn't want to directly refute it.

She sighed inwardly. Xiao Wan was a complete love-obsessed person, only knowing how to talk about love all day long and completely ignoring everything else.

Thinking about this, Song Zhi couldn't help but regret agreeing to cooperate with Xiao Wan to open a studio.

Song Zhi frowned slightly, feeling somewhat helpless. After hesitating for a moment, she finally spoke her mind.

"Wanwan, our studio is just starting out, and there's still a lot to do. I think we should focus on doing our job well first, and not forget our original reasons for starting this business..."

However, Xiao Wan seemed not to hear her earnest advice, waving her hand dismissively and lightly interrupting Song Zhi.

"Oh, don't make such a big deal out of it! I promise you, I will never let dating interfere with my work. I will be careful to keep things in check, so don't worry."

Seeing Xiao Wan's nonchalant attitude, Song Zhi felt a surge of inexplicable annoyance, but she still suppressed her emotions and patiently explained again:

"That's not the issue. What I mean is that we are in the early stages of our business, and at this time we should devote ourselves fully to the development of the studio."

"We can talk about other things after we're on the right track and everything is stable. Why rush things?"

Xiao Wan remained unfazed, a faint smile on her face, and said in a light tone, "It's okay, it's okay. At worst, I'll just apologize to my family and go back to work at my old company."

Upon hearing Xiao Wan's words, Song Zhi felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, chilling her to the bone.

Before she could say anything, Xiao Wan eagerly continued, "I've already made plans with them, I'll be there in a bit, let's go together, okay? Please, just this once."

Song Zhi sighed deeply, as if that sigh carried all her weariness and disappointment.

He finally nodded and agreed to Xiao Wan's request.

When Xiao Wan saw that Song Zhi had agreed, she was overjoyed and excitedly reached out to hug Song Zhi.

"I knew it! Sisters are the best! I'll tell him then!"

Song Zhi remained expressionless and silent.

When Xiao Wan let go, Song Zhi's eyes showed undisguised disappointment.

At first, she didn't want to start a business; she just wanted to find a stable job.

She only agreed to join because Xiao Wan persuaded her.

Now she regrets it.

Xiao Wan has a backup plan and can do whatever she wants, but she's different.

Thinking about this, Song Zhi seemed to have made a decision. She picked up her phone, hesitated for a moment, and finally dialed Gu Lechi's number.

The phone had barely rung twice when Gu Lechi's cheerful voice came through: "Hey, Zhizhi, what made you think of calling me?"

Hearing Gu Lechi's voice, Song Zhi took a deep breath, sorted out her thoughts, and slowly said, "I may not be able to do the thing you asked me to plan for you before."

If Xiao Wan continues with this carefree attitude, their hard-earned studio will inevitably face closure sooner or later.

Rather than letting this situation continue to worsen, it's better to end it all on my own initiative. Although I'm inevitably a little reluctant, it's the best option right now.

Gu Lechi paused for a moment, his voice revealing a hint of surprise: "What happened? It looked fine to me, just missing the set setup. What went wrong?"

After a moment of silence, Song Zhi finally decided to tell Gu Lechi the truth: she planned to find a job on her own and did not want to start her own business anymore.

Instead of wasting time and energy like this, it's better to find a job and start doing it.

Xiao Wan had a way out, but she didn't; she couldn't afford to gamble, and she couldn't afford to lose.

Gu Lechi remained silent.

Song Zhi pursed her lips slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in her eyes, before continuing, "How about this, I'll send you a detailed list of the props you'll need, including their specifications, dimensions, and approximate price ranges. This way, you can be more targeted when you go shopping and avoid buying the wrong thing or something too expensive."

She paused for a moment, then added, "It's free. Just consider it a friendly favor, and everyone's happy."

Gu Lechi asked curiously, "Zhizhi, didn't your studio just open? Why are you suddenly thinking of closing it down? Is business not doing well? How about I introduce some of my friends to you so they can patronize your business?"
