With global currency devaluation, I'll wear these back and take my whole family flying!

The next step is to draft a completely new contract based on the new terms proposed by Shen Ci, and this will be entirely entrusted to Sister Kuan.

Shen Ci's purpose in coming here was to help his sister negotiate a contract, and now he has successfully completed his mission.

"Sister, are you really leaving? Not even for a day?"

Shen Li was very reluctant to see her sister leave that very day.

Upon hearing this, Shen Ci pinched her sister's cheek and said, "What would I do here? You should focus on your work. I'll only distract you."

Shen Li knew that she had a lot of scenes to film these past few days, and almost every day she had night shoots. Since her sister was staying behind, she didn't have time to spend with her. So she could only nod and say, "Okay then, are you going back to Longcheng?"

"Well, it's rare to have a few days of peace and quiet when I go back home. I'm planning to just relax at home," Shen Ci said half-jokingly.

Shen Li smiled and said, "Alright, I left the gift I bought for you on your bed in your room. Try it out when you get back."

The two sisters hugged each other reluctantly, which brought smiles to the faces of those watching.

Kuan Jie also instructed A Pan and Xiao Yun: "You two should stay with Ali for now. After this movie is over, if Ali is willing to keep you, you can be her assistants. Do your best."

Upon hearing this, their eyes lit up, and they both nodded excitedly.

Every artist's assistant hopes to work with someone with a good temper, and Ali is simply a beautiful and kind-hearted fairy.

Sister Kuan then turned to Shen Ci and invited her, "Miss Shen, are you going to the airport? You can ride in my car!"

"Okay, thank you, Sister Kuan."

The stage manager came to urge Shen Li to prepare for the performance again, without even giving the two of them time to leave.

Shen Ci left the film set with Sister Kuan and Lawyer Lin, but was spotted by Xu Junhuan, who was fully made up and ready to go to the set.

Shen Ci's face, glowing in the sunlight, made Xu Junhuan recognize her at a glance.

His gaze remained fixed on them, and just as Shen Ci and the others were about to turn the corner and leave, he couldn't help but call out instinctively, "Sister Kuan!"

I didn't know Shen Ci's name, so I could only call her Sister Kuan.

The group stopped and turned around upon hearing the sound, only to see Xu Junhuan, dressed in ancient costume, arriving in a large entourage, escorted by four assistants.

Sister Kuan greeted her with a smile, "Junhuan!"

"Sister Kuan, what brings you to our set? There aren't any of your people working on this show, are there?" Xu Junhuan deliberately avoided looking at Shen Ci, as if waiting for her to recognize him and greet him.

Shen Ci simply looked at him calmly, her gaze devoid of any warmth, as if she were looking at a complete stranger.

So he chatted with Sister Kuan for a few words, pretending to glance at Shen Ci casually, and then feigned surprise, "Huh? It's you?"

Shen Ci frowned slightly, a look of confusion on her face: Huh?

Seeing her give him that look of not recognizing him again, Xu Junhuan felt a pang of guilt, but still forced himself to remind her, "Me, you don't remember?"

Shen Ci certainly remembered; she didn't have amnesia, she was just doing it on purpose.

Shen Ci narrowed her starry eyes and surveyed the scene for a few seconds before a look of realization dawned on her: "Oh... 'The Brooch Man'!"

Xu Junhuan's expression darkened. The brooch guy?

What is this name?

Sister Kuan looked the two of them up and down with some surprise and asked, "Do you know each other?"

Before Xu Junhuan could speak, Shen Ci said directly, "I don't know him."

Xu Junhuan choked, a strange sense of loss flashing through his heart, but then he forced a helpless smile.

Given how he treated her mother, it was understandable that she wouldn't treat him well.

"Junhuan, we need to hurry over there," the assistant urged in a low voice.

Xu Junhuan breathed a sigh of relief and said to Sister Kuan, "Sister Kuan, I'll head over now. I'll invite you to dinner again when I have time back in Longcheng."

Kuan Jie smiled and nodded. As Xu Junhuan turned around, he gave Shen Ci a deep look, but in the end, he left without saying anything more.

Shen Ci's reaction remained calm throughout, and she was not surprised to meet Xu Junhuan. She remembered that Xu Junhuan was reading the script for "Destined to Be a Phoenix" on the plane.

On the way to the airport, Attorney Lin sat in the passenger seat, while Shen Ci and Sister Kuan sat in the back.

Halfway through the journey, Shen Ci suddenly turned to look at Sister Kuan and whispered, "Sister Kuan, you came here with a mission, right?"

Sister Kuan was replying to WeChat messages when she heard this. She looked at Shen Ci curiously, then raised an eyebrow: "Oh? What mission do you think I came here with, Miss Shen?"

"We must sign Ali," Shen Ci stated bluntly. "President Lu has instructed you to sign Ali no matter what!"

Sister Kuan laughed: "Miss Shen is so clever. This is indeed President Lu's intention. I didn't expect you to see through it."

Shen Ci chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Your motives are too obvious. Even I think the requests I made were a bit excessive, but Sister Kuan agreed to them all. Outsiders might not see it clearly, but I'm part of your game, how could I not understand?"

At this point, Shen Ci simply revealed her true thoughts: "President Lu doesn't just want to sign Ali; he wants to tie me down by signing Ali."

Kuan Jie's smile deepened, but she remained noncommittal about Shen Ci's words.

Shen Ci continued, "President Lu is certain I'm willing to spend money on my sister, so he wants to use my sister to trap me as an investor, hoping to invest more in 'Golden Chance' projects in the future."

"Since Miss Shen thinks that way, why did you choose 'Golden Zodiac'?"

Shen Ci smiled wryly: "Because I don't care about money, I care about my sister. You agreed to my excessive conditions, which shows your utmost sincerity, so it's only right that I reciprocate. After all, I can't expect you to make such big concessions for no reason. I'll also take a few steps back, and if we reach an agreement in the end, it will be a win-win situation!"

These words caused a noticeable change in Sister Kuan's expression. She looked at Shen Ci with great interest and praised her, "Miss Shen, you have wisdom and courage beyond your years, and you are not just smart."

"Thank you for your compliment, that's certainly true."

Sister Kuan chuckled and nodded with a firm expression: "I think I understand why Miss Shen has been so successful at such a young age."

Shen Ci smiled without saying a word, glancing sideways at the receding street scene outside the window.

Around 5:15 PM, Shen Ci dragged her suitcase back to the "Ten Thousand Lights" villa. Since it was already the National Day holiday, Gu Lianxing was not at school.

Feeling a bit tired from all the travel today, Shen Ci casually tossed her suitcase aside and nestled into the comfortable sofa in the living room. Then she took out her phone and sent a message to Gu Lianxing: "Lianxing, I'm back in Longcheng. Let's hang out sometime."

Just as I was about to put down my phone and take a nap, Gu Lianxing's reply came swiftly: "Hey baby, why don't you come to my house later? My family moved to a new house today, and my parents are throwing a party. It's going to be so lively!"

Along with that came the location sent by Gu Lianxing. Shen Ci looked closely and saw, "Lights of Ten Thousand Homes"?
