The Rebirth of a Top Star

When they first met, neither of them was good with words. Xu Youheng was shy about speaking, and Gu Leyi was shy about showing her true self.

Over time, Gu Leyi came to know what the real Xu Youheng was like and gradually became familiar with him. She discovered that Xu Youheng was such an interesting person.

And that's how the two of them got together.

Xu Youheng never told Gu Leyi about his family's financial situation, and occasionally he would work part-time on weekends. Gu Leyi naturally assumed that Xu Youheng's family was not well-off, so she was too embarrassed to tell Gu Leyi about her own situation. The two of them just drifted along like that.

It wasn't until a few days before Song Shiyuan came to find Gu Leyi that the two of them discovered the situation on the other side, and they were instantly at a loss for words, both amused and exasperated.

Gu Leyi didn't care about Xu Youheng's situation. She believed that Xu Youheng didn't care about her conditions either, after all, their meeting was too dramatic.

Later, when they talked about their first meeting, Gu Leyi learned why Xu Youheng had asked her to add him on WeChat. It was originally a playlist of songs that Xu Youheng could perform well, but his roommate had deliberately played a prank and replaced the playlist with his own.

Xu Youheng was surprised that Gu Leyi had actually added him.

That's what led to the story that followed.

Life is such a wonderful thing.

The next day, when Song Shiyuan saw that only his mother was at home, he first criticized his father as usual, saying things like, "You have nothing to do and you're not at home with me."

Of course, it was said in a joking tone.

Song's mother didn't respond. Instead, she asked Song Shiyuan a question: When Song Shiyuan came back yesterday, the two elders had already rested. It was only because their son was about to leave that they were given the chance. Otherwise, they didn't know when they would see each other again.

Song Shiyuan, dressed in a well-fitting suit, looked at his mother and said, "Yes, I've called off the engagement."

Song Shiyuan knew what his mother wanted to ask.

He was straightforward.

Song's mother was not surprised. She knew her son best. "In that case, you don't need to wait for the girl next door anymore. It's time to find someone to keep you company."

This was truly unexpected. The engagement had just been called off, and his mother was already pressuring him to get married again. For a moment, Song Shiyuan thought to himself that he should have known better than to break off the engagement so cleanly.

Song Shiyuan felt he shouldn't stay any longer. He didn't reply, but stood up, shook his clothes, and said goodbye to his mother: "I'll come back when I have time. I won't disturb you and Father's time together."

Song Shiyuan was in a hurry to go back. He left without waiting for his mother to finish saying what she wanted to say.

The president is about to start another long day of hard work. Song Shiyuan didn't sleep well at home all night. He was thinking about many things and wanted to plan out all the possibilities for future development.

This was obviously impossible, so in Jing Tanqing's eyes, Song Shiyuan's fatigue was obvious.

Upon arriving at the company, Song Shiyuan instructed Jing Tanqing to summon Du Junyi from the branch office, as he had something to discuss in person.

This was the second time Jing Tanqing had taken the initiative to contact Du Junyi. After what happened last time, Jing Tanqing knew that they would likely be in frequent contact in the future, so he wisely added each other's contact information in order to handle things efficiently now.

Du Junyi was quite surprised when she received the call. She didn't understand why Jing Tanqing was contacting her. But when Jing Tanqing explained that President Song had something to ask her, Du Junyi understood. She found the file that belonged to Shen Nanqiao among her pile of documents, put it in her tote bag, and went out without applying any makeup.

She was personally received by Jing Tanqing.

The last time Jing Tanqing saw Du Junyi, he was fully made up and dressed in a specially designed business suit, looking very capable and professional. This time, the contrast was too great.

If Jing Tanqing didn't have face blindness and be extremely sensitive to people's facial features, she might have actually been able to mistake Du Junyi for him.

“Hello,” Jing Tanqing said to Du Junyi, “This way, let’s go upstairs.”

Du Junyi's simple and unadorned appearance drew Jing Tanqing's attention to his face. He was beautiful even without makeup, but he looked much younger than when he was wearing makeup.

Yes, she looks much younger.

Jing Tanqing wanted to ask, for the first time, an offensive question: Was it because your makeup skills were not good enough, or was it intentional?

However, Jing Tanqing couldn't bring herself to say it due to her professional ethics.

However, his emotions led him to unconsciously pay attention to Du Junyi; she was truly beautiful even without makeup.

Jing Tanqing wanted to offer praise, but the two had already reached Song Shiyuan's office door. He knocked and opened the door, letting Du Junyi go in by himself.

Following Song Shiyuan's signal, Du Junyi sat down opposite her. Seeing Song Shiyuan's embarrassed expression, Du Junyi seemed to have guessed what was going on. He took out Shen Nanqiao's file from his bag and placed it in front of Song Shiyuan.

However, the words he spoke were grand and imposing.

"This is information about the most popular actress in our branch right now. I believe this is what President Song wants to see." Du Junyi handed it over, and on it was written a small but eye-catching name: Shen Nanqiao.

Just as Song Shiyuan was wondering how to start the conversation, Du Junyi offered him a way out, and he had to admit that this was the power of a trump card.

He looked down at the information on the document and casually asked, "Are there any difficulties now?" For a moment, Du Junyi thought the president was asking about the branch company's difficulties, but when his eyes remained fixed on the document without him looking up, Du Junyi knew what to say.

“It’s just that Nan Qiao told me last time that two people seemed to be causing trouble, but we couldn’t find any specific clues. However, things have been going a bit wrong lately.” Du Junyi told me directly what he knew.

Upon hearing this, Song Shiyuan's eyebrows furrowed; he was unaware of the situation.

But isn't this easy to handle?

His eyes continued to linger on the documents as he casually remarked, "Would there still be any trouble if we just blacklisted those two?"

He hoped to hear a positive answer from Du Junyi.

Indeed, this was the case. Du Junyi first nodded, and then affirmed Song Shiyuan's approach, saying that it was simple, direct, and most effective.

Shen Nanqiao certainly didn't expect that while she was still struggling with when to guard against Wu Miaomiao, Song Shiyuan had already solved all the problems at the source.

Du Junyi walked out of Song Shiyuan's office. She hesitated for a moment before finding the direction of Jing Tanqing's office.

Song Shiyuan said that this matter could be resolved by contacting Jing Tanqing directly.

Regarding Shen Nanqiao's matter, Song Shiyuan still had some arrangements for Du Junyi. These were just casual remarks, but Du Junyi was already planning the future developments.

This is what a mature agent should do.
