Shen Ci's words were loaded with meaning, causing Hui Yang to gasp in shock.

Could it be that the story of Wang Su's domestic violence has been leaked?

Otherwise, why would Miss Shen be so determined to replace an actor she's never met before?

Huiyang dared not gamble; faced with the greater good, he naturally had to sacrifice his personal interests.

“Alright, since Ms. Shen has said so, our company will contact Mr. Sun Zhe, but we can’t guarantee that he will come.” Hui Yang relented.

If Wang Su can't get the job, then "Liyang" will definitely keep Sun Zhe's project contract in their hands.

Lu Jinzhao had no objection to this.

Shen Ci smiled calmly and said, "I think no one would refuse a project of this scale."

Thus, the investment project was successfully completed at the dinner party, thanks entirely to Shen Ci's generosity. In the past, it would have always taken a second investment to make things happen.

"Ms. Shen, thank you so much. I really don't know what to say." Lu Jinzhao was extremely excited and moved.

Regardless of Shen Ci's inner thoughts, Lu Jinzhao felt extremely honored to have an investor who supported his project so unreservedly; it was like a dream come true.

Shen Ci smiled gently and said calmly and generously, "This isn't the first time I've covered for President Lu. You don't need to be so polite."

"Ms. Shen, rest assured, I have complete confidence in this project and guarantee that you will make money."

Shen Ci raised an eyebrow and nodded: "Of course, I wouldn't invest money if I didn't think it was a good investment. I have my own judgment."

After saying that, Shen Ci picked up the juice in front of her and walked leisurely to Boss Yang's side under everyone's watchful eyes.

This action surprised even Boss Yang. He subconsciously turned to the side and stood up: "What's this, little beauty?"

Shen Ci covered her mouth and laughed: "Please don't keep calling me 'little beauty,' it makes me feel quite embarrassed. Boss Yang is much older than me, I'll call you 'uncle,' and you can just call me Shen Ci."

"A bit too formal, isn't it?" Boss Yang seemed quite pleased with Shen Ci's sudden initiative, and his tone became joking: "What's your nickname?"

“Aci, Uncle Yang calls me Aci.”

"It sounds nice; you can tell she's a beautiful woman just from her name."

Shen Ci picked up the juice in her hand, looked up and smiled, "I am the junior, so regardless of whether Uncle Yang drinks this glass with me or not, I should toast you. I will definitely punish myself with three more glasses when I have the chance in the future."

After saying that, Shen Ci gracefully finished drinking the juice in her glass.

Shen Ci, who had just shown his swordsmanship, suddenly offered a sweet treat to Boss Yang.

But she spoke eloquently and gave Mr. Yang plenty of face, so Mr. Yang was naturally pleased.

"Oh dear, Uncle Yang was just joking with you. From now on, Aci can drink whenever she wants, or not drink whenever she doesn't want to," Boss Yang said with a hearty laugh.

Then, as if afraid that Shen Ci was so busy talking to him that he would neglect the other big shot, he took the initiative to say, "Have a drink with your brother Xizi. If you want to have a comfortable life in Longcheng in the future, you will have to rely on your brother Xizi for help."

After saying that, he proactively poured Shen Ci a glass of juice, and then patted Yan Wenxi on the shoulder: "Come on, brother, stop looking so grumpy, let me toast you."

Shen Ci, holding his cup, walked around to the other side and said respectfully, "May I call you Brother Xizi?"

Yan Wenxi's expression was somber, but he poured himself a glass of wine before slowly standing up: "Whatever, some people call me King Yama, whatever you like."

Shen Ci was not afraid at all, but was amused by Yan Wenxi: "Then I will still call you Brother Xizi. I am new here, so please take good care of me in the future."

Yan Wenxi simply nodded slightly, and before Shen Ci could make a move, he downed his drink.

Seeing that Brother Xizi and Boss Yang had been drinking and chatting with Miss Shen, the others became less reserved and raised their glasses to greet and toast Shen Ci.

Having more friends always means having more options, and in their eyes, Shen Ci's identity must be extraordinary.

Shen Ci's trip was successful; she added Boss Yang and Brother Xizi on WeChat, as well as a group of big names in the investment banking industry in Longcheng, further expanding her network.

She knew from the beginning that no one would be the first to show her goodwill. Even though she possessed astonishing wealth, there were many things she lacked besides wealth. She never intended to offend anyone, nor could she afford to offend anyone. Moreover, only by taking the initiative herself could she get what she wanted in this situation.

After one game ended, these people obviously wanted to go to a second one to have some fun.

Shen Ci could only politely decline: "I won't go. Have fun, and I'll treat everyone to dinner next time."

"Miss Shen, why don't we join together? Even if we can't drink, we can still sing some songs and chat."

"That's right, that's right. I'm so happy to have met Miss Shen today. Let's go together."

When someone strongly urged her to go, Dai Sirong stepped forward and said, "I'll go with everyone. Miss Shen said she wants to go back to school, so please don't make things difficult for her."

Surprisingly, Boss Yang also relented and let the newcomer go in the second round, and she was a pretty young girl: "Alright, let Aci go back. Do you think I don't know what you guys are planning to do in the second round? Aci is still young, it would be embarrassing for her if she saw you like that. Don't scare her!"

Shen Ci could never have imagined the entertainment industry controlled by capital.

She gave an awkward laugh and waved her hand, "You guys go ahead, I'm leaving now, otherwise the dorm will really close."

“Miss Shen, shall I have the driver take you?” Lu Jinzhao offered.

Shen Ci did not refuse, and then said goodbye to Boss Yang and Brother Xizi separately before leaving.

Boss Yang kept watching Shen Ci's back. She was wearing a long black dress, and her figure swayed gracefully in the neon lights of the night, which was truly pleasing to the eye.

Yan Wenxi glanced at him and said coldly, "They at least call you Uncle Yang, can't you put those thoughts aside?"

"You..." Boss Yang looked at Yan Wenxi with impatience: "You're so naive, you see everything as dirty. What did I do?"

Yan Wenxi snorted coldly, his sarcasm unspoken.

On the way back, Shen Ci opened the car window and let the night breeze of Longcheng blow in, finally easing the tension in her body and mind.

Yes, she appeared to be in complete control and at ease throughout, but in reality, she was constantly on edge.

In such situations, even the slightest misstep in words or actions could drastically alter the final outcome, but fortunately, Shen Ci was very satisfied with the final result.

Just as she was lost in thought, her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw it was her senior brother, Luo.

He answered the phone unhurriedly: "Hello, Senior Brother Luo?"

The next second, Luo Tianrui's excited voice came from the other end of the phone: "Junior sister, it's done! We did it!"

Shen Ci was surprised to hear this: "The test was successful?"

"That's right, it was a success! The project was a success!"

Shen Ci's eyes lit up immediately, and she quickly instructed the driver, "Sir, we're not going back to USTC!"
