Reborn to bury love, I can reach for the stars.

Shi Wanmeng hesitated for a moment: "Then what about the penalty for breach of contract on your end..."

Su Muqing waved her hand: "This is nothing. My contract was about to expire anyway. When I signed the contract, the company knew my identity and treated me like I was just here for fun, so the terms were quite lenient. Even if I terminate the contract now, I won't have to pay much."

Shi Wanmeng nodded: "If you've made up your mind, then I won't try to persuade you. I'll study my original contract in the next few days and have a good talk with Chi Yun."

"Chi Yun doesn't know yet?" Su Muqing suddenly perked up: "Then I'm the first to get the news? Hehehe~"

“No, not exactly,” Shi Wanmeng bluntly shattered her illusions: “I mentioned it to him before, and now I have to be serious. It would be best if he could come here with me.”

"Why am I not the first one..." Su Muqing was a little disappointed, but she quickly cheered up: "Brother Chi is great, we must bring him over, if you can't, I will!"

Shi Wanmeng laughed and said, "Hahaha, great! If Brother Chi knew that both of Daji Dafa's bosses wanted him, he would be very happy!"

"Yeah, just thinking about it makes me feel so proud. In that case, our company definitely needs to hire more people; the current few people are definitely not enough."

Hearing her words, Shi Wanmeng also frowned: "Yes, it costs money everywhere, sigh."

Su Muqing didn't seem to care: "Don't worry, based on the current trend, the revenue from this movie, even after deducting your breach of contract penalty, will be enough for us to run for a long time. If all else fails, I have some more."

Shi Wanmeng gently shook her head. Just like in her previous life, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" successfully became a dark horse, leaving everyone else in the dust. It achieved both critical and commercial success. With Daji Dafa's deliberate marketing, this time, the movie has been pushed to another level.

"No need. There are many investment opportunities available now. I just hope for quick returns so that I have sufficient cash flow and won't be in a passive position. It's not at the point where I need you to invest more money."

Today is only the third day of the film's release, and the company has already started to make a profit. There's still a long way to go. Moreover, she has already reached an agreement with Huang Chen to exclusively license the film to Tomato TV for online streaming after its theatrical run, which will generate a significant amount of revenue.

The Su family's attitude had already been made clear from Assistant Yao's previous intentional or unintentional remarks. She herself regarded Su Muqing as a true friend rather than a money bag, and did not want her to invest any more money unless absolutely necessary.

"Alright then, things will work themselves out," Su Muqing comforted her. "Besides, with the two of us working together, how could we not make money?"

Shi Wanmeng nodded: "Well, let's not think about that too much for now. Let's take it one step at a time. I'll sort out the contract issue first. By the way, when do you plan to terminate the contract?"

Su Muqing said, "Let's wait until this drama wraps up. It'll only be a few days. I'll talk to my agent first, and I won't be taking on any more work for the time being."

"Alright, then you should start preparing in the meantime," Shi Wanmeng said. "By the way, do your family members know about your plans?"

Su Muqing's face stiffened upon hearing this: "Um, I don't know yet, but they shouldn't disagree with my decision..."

Shi Wanmeng disagreed. In the few times she had interacted with the Su family, she could feel how much they valued this daughter: "You said you used to do ideological work, how can you be so careless? Family members should still talk to each other."

Su Muqing's cheeks flushed slightly. She nodded and said somewhat shyly, "I know. I've been busy filming and recording shows lately, and haven't been back for a while. Last time I finally had a break and wanted to go back for a few days, but my older brother dragged me and Mom and Dad to an amusement park for two days. We even had the whole place to ourselves. I don't know what got into him..."

Su Muqing's voice grew softer and softer until she finally shut up under Shi Wanmeng's complicated gaze.

"Are you showing off?" Shi Wanmeng raised an eyebrow slightly, her tone indifferent.

Remembering her background, Su Muqing was afraid that she would misunderstand, so she immediately raised her hand in a gesture of swearing: "No, Wanmeng, I never meant that."

Seeing how nervous she was, Shi Wanmeng immediately broke character and laughed, saying, "Just kidding. I bet your brother saw you like doing these things on the show, so he did it on purpose. You really are..."

Su Muqing stared wide-eyed, speechless. She had never thought of it this way before. After Wanmeng said that, she didn't know whether to be surprised that her workaholic brother still had time for his own show, or to be moved by the whole family's effort to clear the amusement park.

Seeing her like this, Shi Wanmeng didn't say anything more and changed the subject: "If we want to grow bigger and stronger in the future, we will definitely need more talents. If we both sign up for Daji Dafa, we need to plan some things in advance."

"Yes, I know," Su Muqing said absentmindedly. "That's easy to say. I'll ask my brother to borrow Assistant Yao later..." After saying that, she felt guilty again. It seemed that she still had to talk to her brother about terminating the contract first.

The two chatted about the company's future development plans, and as they talked, it got late.

Su Muqing checked the time and said, "It's almost time. Let's go. I know Yuntang well, I'll drive."

“Okay.” Shi Wanmeng didn’t stand on ceremony and stood up to pick up the packaging bag beside her.

Su Muqing glanced at it curiously, then asked uncertainly, "This isn't a gift for Huang Chen, is it?"

When she heard her ask this, Shi Wanmeng bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Hmm, what's wrong?"

"No, nothing," Su Muqing was also a little confused by her reaction: "I didn't even think of preparing a gift. You're so thoughtful."

Upon hearing this, Shi Wanmeng immediately raised her voice and emphasized, "It was Brother Chi who insisted that I prepare it!"

Seeing her like this, Su Muqing understood everything and secretly laughed out loud, immediately receiving a glare from Shi Wanmeng.

The two got into the car together and drove towards Yuntang.

On the way, Su Muqing couldn't help but tease, "Do you think Huang Chen would be moved to tears if he knew you had prepared a birthday present for him?"

The image of Huang Chen crying while holding the bag flashed through Shi Wanmeng's mind, but she denied it, saying, "I was just doing what Brother Chi asked me to do."

"Okay, okay, it's Chi Yun's idea," Su Muqing chuckled. "Brother Chi is so unfair. He didn't even remind me beforehand. It seems I have to go buy something too, otherwise it would be embarrassing to go empty-handed."

After saying that, Su Muqing saw a cake shop ahead. He found a parking spot and said to Shi Wanmeng, "Wait for me for a few minutes, I'll be there in a bit."

A short while later, she returned with a cake, smiling as she said, "Luckily, the shop had a ready-made one. Although it's not big, it's enough for Huang Chen."
