I rely on unlimited life extension

Just then, Yang Mi returned with a rather unpleasant expression, plopped down on the chair next to her, her chest heaving slightly, clearly angry.

Cheng Yi quickly handed over the chrysanthemum tea she had only taken a few sips of: "What's wrong?"

Yang Mi took it, gulped down a large mouthful, and said angrily, "These bastards! I donated five million to charity, just wanting the title of charity ambassador, but they kept making excuses. They must have already decided on someone else!"

Cheng Yi chuckled and reached out to ruffle her hair: "It's nothing, no need to get angry. Getting angry is bad for your health. By the way, don't they know you're the spokesperson for the largest shareholder of Huaxia Fashion Media Group?"

Yang Mi's cheeks flushed slightly. She secretly glanced at Liu Tao beside her and said in a low voice, "The authorization letter was only signed a week ago. Apart from Resha, I... I haven't told anyone else..."

"Hey, when did our boss Yang become so low-key?" Cheng Yi teased her deliberately, pinching her cheek.

Yang Mi pouted reproachfully, glanced at Liu Tao beside her, then suddenly leaned close to Cheng Yi, lowered her voice and said seriously, "I want to replace her."

"Huh? What do you mean? Who did you replace?" Cheng Yi raised an eyebrow.

“Su Mang, the host of tonight’s banquet.” Yang Mi’s eyes were filled with anger. “That woman is too snobbish. The way she talked to me just now made it sound like I was begging for five million. I find it annoying.”

Cheng Yi smiled and said, "Didn't I already transfer the supervisory and advisory powers to you? You have the right to make any decisions without asking me."

“But…” Yang Mi hesitated, twisting the hem of her skirt with her fingers, “This could very well negatively impact Bazaar. Su Mang has been in the fashion industry for so many years; he has a wide network and resources…”

Cheng Yi took her hand and gently stroked the back of it, his eyes becoming serious: "The fact that you can think this way proves that you have begun to shift your mindset from that of a celebrity to a manager, which is very good. However, you also need to know one thing."

Yang Mi looked at Cheng Yi's face and for some reason, she felt that Cheng Yi's face seemed to be glowing at this moment, which made her heart skip a beat.

"As a manager, we must of course think about the interests of our company. Only when the company thrives can we make more money."

Cheng paused, his gaze falling on Yang Mi's face, his tone filled with undeniable doting affection, "But, for Yang Mi, I'll do anything as long as you're happy. Even if the Fashion Media Group goes bankrupt tomorrow, even if we lose everything, it's no problem. As long as it makes you happy, I'd replace not just one person, but everyone from top to bottom. It's only a few hundred million, it's not like I can't afford to lose it."

In an instant, Yang Mi felt her whole body heat up, as if all the blood was rushing to her face, making her cheeks so hot they could fry an egg.

If it weren't for Liu Tao being right next to her, she would have loved to throw herself into Cheng Yi's arms and give him a big hug.

This man always manages to say the most touching things to her in the most nonchalant tone.

Cheng Yi chuckled and pinched her nose, jokingly saying, "I knew it! I could never be emperor. Otherwise, I would definitely be like King You of Zhou, who played with the feudal lords by lighting the beacon fires."

Liu Tao, standing to the side, was secretly swallowing hard, his fingers trembling slightly as he held the champagne glass.

The conversation between these two was incredibly explosive. Of course, she knew that this Mr. Cheng was wealthy and extravagant, after all, he was willing to spend 500 million US dollars to help her, someone she had never even met, get a divorce.

The Bazaar Charity Night, hailed as the "premier celebrity banquet," is so popular that countless stars in the entertainment industry would kill to get in, and the status of the organizer, Harper's Bazaar magazine, has also risen accordingly.

What Liu Tao couldn't imagine was that this magazine, or rather the fashion media group behind it, was just a small company that Mr. Cheng didn't care about at all among his many businesses.

What she found most unbelievable was that this Mr. Cheng could actually make the decision to replace the magazine's editor-in-chief, Su Mang, just to win a smile from Yang Mi.

Who is Su Mang? In the entertainment industry, she is known as the "fashion godmother." Even if she doesn't have connections everywhere, she is still a very influential figure. Countless celebrities would do anything to get a piece of her work.

But how could such a person be so easily replaced just because Yang Mi said "I find him annoying"?

However, upon closer reflection, it seems reasonable that he could casually spend five hundred million US dollars on himself.

At this moment, Liu Tao became even more determined to hold onto this golden opportunity.

With Cheng Yi around, not only would paying off the debts be easy, but even regaining a foothold in this world of fame and fortune, or going even further, would seem to be no problem at all.

As for your ex-husband? Haha, I've cleared all your debts, isn't that enough?

Yang Mi was amused by Cheng Yi, and her anger subsided considerably.

She glared at Cheng Yi, stood up, and said, "I'm ignoring you. I'm going to find Fan Binbin."

As he turned around, he couldn't help but smile – with him around, even the biggest problems seemed insignificant.

Cheng Yi watched her retreating figure, then glanced at the guests in the room. He picked up the chrysanthemum tea that Liu Tao had poured for him, took a slow sip, and his gaze swept across the entire room. Suddenly, he noticed several photographers carrying long lenses and short cannons filming the whole place. Their lenses occasionally swept across the smiling faces of the celebrities, clearly recording the grand occasion of this charity night.

He stroked his chin; the occasion was more lively than he had imagined.

Just then, a tall, beautiful woman walked towards them, wearing a smart black suit and skirt, exuding a powerful aura.

She was clearly familiar with Liu Tao. When she walked to the table, she nodded to Cheng Yi as a casual greeting. As soon as she sat down, she took Liu Tao's hand and whispered to him. The two of them were very close together, talking about something, and occasionally they could be heard laughing softly.

Cheng Yi wasn't in the mood to listen to their conversation. The feeling of fullness from the big meal was gradually fading, and her stomach was starting to feel empty again.

He got up and walked to the food section, his eyes scanning the dazzling array of pastries on the counter.

In the corner were some oddly shaped pastries. One of them, a crescent-shaped thing, looked like a banana. He was about to reach for the clip next to it when a small, fair hand snatched it away first.

Cheng Yi turned his head and saw a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a pink princess dress with a fluffy skirt, like a blooming flower.

Her eyes were round and bright, like two black grapes. Although she wore light makeup, she couldn't hide her youthful energy, like a freshly picked peach.

The little girl didn't even notice Cheng Yi next to her. Her eyes were fixed on the colorful snacks. She carefully picked up a piece with tongs, put it on the plate, and immediately smiled sweetly, just like a little mouse that had stolen some oil.

Cheng Yi couldn't help but chuckle. He picked up another pair of tongs and used it to pick up a few snacks for himself. Then he saw several car models made of dark chocolate on the side. They were exquisitely crafted. One of the Rolls-Royce models looked a bit like his own car, so he casually picked it up and put it on his plate.

Wow, chocolate!

A soft gasp rang out beside her, and the little girl's gaze was immediately drawn to the chocolate model.

She reached out her little hand, picked up the Rolls-Royce model, and without thinking, bit off half of the front of the car. She squinted her eyes and exclaimed with satisfaction, "High-purity chocolate is so delicious!"

Cheng Yi was amused by her appearance. He walked to the juice fountain, got a cup of coffee and a cup of milk tea, and then slowly returned to the table in the corner.

No sooner had he sat down than the little girl followed him over, casually sitting down in the chair next to him and saying in a familiar tone, "Hey, big brother, can I sit here for a while? I won't sit here for nothing, here, I'll treat you to some snacks."

As she spoke, she pushed a macaron from her plate toward Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi pointed to his plate and smiled, "Thank you in advance, but I've already taken it myself."

The little girl wasn't embarrassed at all. She withdrew her hands and happily ate a small snack in each hand, her cheeks bulging out like a little squirrel hoarding food.

At this moment, Liu Tao's friend in the suit stood up, extended his hand to Cheng Yi, and said with a polite smile, "Mr. Cheng, right? I am Liu Tao's classmate, Qin Hailu."

Just as Cheng Yi was about to reach out in response, Yang Mi's voice came from behind Qin Hailu: "Oh, Sister Hailu, what brings you here? I thought you were off to the Spring Festival Gala rehearsal!"

Qin Hailu turned around and saw Yang Mi and Fan Binbin walking towards her side by side.

Yang Mi strode forward and stood naturally in front of Cheng Yi. She grasped Qin Hailu's hand and shook it vigorously, saying with a smile, "Sister Hailu, it's been a long time. You're still so beautiful."

Qin Hailu's gaze swept between Yang Mi and Cheng Yi, a hint of inquiry in her eyes, before she said nonchalantly, "I heard Liu Tao came to One Meter Sunshine, so I came to say hello. We little actors will have to rely on a big spender like you for support in the future."

Yang Mi smiled and waved her hand: "Sister Hailu, you're being too polite. Sister Liu Tao's presence at our Sunshine is a godsend. Our newly established small company needs such a good actress to lend its support!"

Qin Hailu chuckled and said, "Mr. Yang, please don't be modest. Director Xu's 'Lost in Thailand' is aiming for the Spring Festival box office champion. The trailers released these past few days have already garnered a lot of attention and buzz. Who doesn't know that 'One Meter Sunshine' is now a formidable force?"

Yang Mi patted her chest and sighed with feigned distress, "Don't mention it, Sister Hailu. Our One Meter Sunshine is losing money to gain publicity. To be honest, we've been living off our savings since we were founded, and we haven't really made much money yet. If it weren't for our big boss not caring about how much money we make and just keeping pouring money in, my makeshift team would have gone out of business long ago."

Qin Hailu's gaze fell on Cheng Yi again, with a hint of scrutiny: "This must be the backer of One Meter Sunshine, right?"

Fan Binbin stepped forward at the opportune moment, subtly blocking her view, and said with a smile, "Sister Hailu, the charity auction is about to begin. I just saw your agent looking for you everywhere."

Qin Hailu's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her smile, glanced at Liu Tao, and said, "In that case, I'll be leaving now. Liu Tao, call me if you need anything."

After saying that, he turned and quickly left.

Fan Binbin turned to look at Liu Tao, his tone becoming more serious: "There's no need to discuss company internal matters with outsiders."

Liu Tao inwardly groaned, realizing he had spoken out of turn, and quickly bowed slightly, saying, "I'll remember."

Yang Mi added with a smile, "Sister Tao, Mr. Cheng is not in the entertainment industry, and I don't plan to let him step into the limelight in the future. If possible, I hope his identity will remain a secret."

Liu Tao then realized that she had just broken a taboo. She was about to explain when Fan Binbin gave her a wink and said, "Alright, President Yang, don't scare the child."

Yang Mi then noticed that there was a little girl sitting next to them, staring at them with wide, round eyes, looking completely dumbfounded.

She quickly put on a gentle smile and asked, "Young lady, which company do you work for? You look familiar."

The little girl swallowed the pastry in her mouth, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said nervously, "Sister Mi, I'm your fan! Oh no, my name is Song Zuer. My manager brought me here to broaden my horizons. I...did I see something I shouldn't have seen?"

As she spoke, there was a hint of caution in her eyes.

Cheng Yi chimed in, "Aren't you afraid we'll kill you to silence you?"

Yang Mi glared at him reproachfully, then turned to Song Zuer and smiled, "Song Zuer, right? You do look familiar. Did you play Nezha?"

Song Zuer smiled awkwardly: "Yes, Sister Mi, it was filmed a few years ago."

Fan Binbin laughed too: "A child star! You definitely have potential for future development. Would you like to join our 'One Meter Sunshine' team?"

It was meant as a joke, but Song Zuer pouted and said seriously, "I really want to change agencies. My current manager is mentally ill. If he hadn't threatened me with my mother, I really wouldn't want to be here."

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi's expression changed immediately. Just as she was about to ask a few more questions, she saw a man in his thirties rushing over with a worried look on his face. He grabbed Song Zuer's arm and said, "My dear aunt, what are you doing here? I almost broke my legs running!"

Song Zuer shook off his hand with a look of disgust: "I just came here to eat something. I didn't even have time for dinner. It won't interfere with anything."

Even so, she stood up and prepared to leave with her agent.

Only then did the man recognize Yang Mi and Fan Binbin. His eyes lit up, and he quickly pulled out several business cards from his pocket, handing them out to the people present with a big smile: "Miss Yang Mi, Miss Fan Binbin, and this gentleman, I am Joey's manager, Yang Jun. Please take care of me in the future."

Cheng Yi reached out and took the business card. The moment his fingertips touched Yang Jun's, a system notification sounded in his mind:

[System notification: Your talent "Precognition" has been activated. Ten years from now, this agent, Yang Jun, will have a falling out with Song Zuer, repeatedly suing her and causing Song Zuer's career to plummet.]
