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

The others in the meeting room were already packing up and leaving. They hesitated for a moment when they saw the two people coming in, thinking there was another meeting. Shi Wanmeng waved her hand and said, "You can all go back to work." She paused for a moment and then added, "Sister Zhong, please stay."

Sister Zhong, currently the head of public relations and publicity at Daji Dafa, knew more about Shi Wanmeng than the others. She nodded and stayed put. Seeing this, the others quickened their pace, and soon only the three of them remained in the meeting room.

Shi Wanmeng glanced at the two people beside her, cleared her throat, and spoke first: "I will go to the company to terminate my contract in the next couple of days. I don't expect it to go very smoothly, and I may encounter more problems later."

Chi Yun nodded, his expression somewhat serious: "Xingyuan won't let you go easily. Even if they agree, they'll skin you alive first."

Sister Zhong didn't speak, but tapped a few times on the keyboard. Then she turned the computer screen towards the two of them, pointed to the page, and said, "These are some of the negative press releases. Chi Yun just said that he has almost brought them under control. However, based on the trend of the past two weeks, if the contract is terminated, there will probably be more and more of these kinds of news later."

“I understand.” Shi Wanmeng calmly looked at the news on the screen. “So we must develop a response plan as soon as possible. Sister Zhong, please contact other media companies to see if there are any suitable cooperation opportunities. We also need to continue to monitor public opinion and deal with any unfavorable news in a timely manner.”

"Okay." Sister Zhong nodded and smiled again: "I have a request. My department needs to add more people."

"No problem, we'll definitely arrange that."

Shi Wanmeng agreed readily, as this was already part of her plan. Previously, when Daji Dali was just starting out, everything was kept simple. Although the public relations department already had the largest number of employees, the total number of people in the entire company could be counted on two hands, and everyone wore multiple hats. Now, to expand the business, they definitely needed to hire more people.

Chi Yun took out a USB drive and a stack of documents from his briefcase, placing them all on the table: "These are all the contracts and documents that involve you. We need to study them carefully and minimize all risks."

"Wait a minute, I'll make a call." Shi Wanmeng picked up her phone and dialed Su Muqing's number, but it rang for a long time without being answered.

Shi Wanmeng hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and guessed that Mu Qing was probably filming, so she could only say, "Mu Qing isn't answering the phone, she's probably busy. I need a reliable lawyer right now, do you have any recommendations?"

Sister Zhong shook her head, and Chi Yun also looked troubled: "I do know a few lawyers, but I wouldn't say I'm particularly close to any of them, and besides, this matter is rather urgent..."

Before he finished speaking, Shi Wanmeng understood that good lawyers aren't like watermelons on the street, waiting to be bought and found whenever you want.

Shi Wanmeng sighed, "Then we can only rely on ourselves now." She sat down, opened the document, and began to read it carefully.

Chi Yun patted her shoulder, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "There's someone who can definitely help you."

"Who?"

Chi Yun smiled and said, "Huang Chen."

A hint of surprise flashed in Shi Wanmeng's eyes. She had indeed forgotten about Huang Chen, but if she asked him for help...

Chi Yun saw her concerns but didn't try to persuade her, letting her make her own decision.

After thinking for a moment, Shi Wanmeng nodded as if she had made up her mind.

"I'll give him a call and see." Shi Wanmeng stood up, took her phone, and went outside.

Watching her walk away, Sister Zhong raised her head, which had been buried in front of the computer screen, and asked with some curiosity, "What's the situation between her and Huang Chen now?" She quickly added, "I'm not gossiping, I'm just talking about work."

Chi Yun coughed lightly and lowered his voice, saying, "Um, keep your expression to yourself."

Seeing that Sister Zhong's face turned serious in a second, he smiled and said, "I'm not sure either, but it looks like it should be okay."

Sister Zhong nodded, and was about to ask another question when Shi Wanmeng pushed open the door and walked in.

"So fast?" After blurting it out, Sister Zhong immediately added, "How was it?"

Shi Wanmeng smiled and nodded: "Yes, he said he'll have his company's legal counsel come over this afternoon."

Chi Yun breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

With the help of professionals, the three of them felt relieved and began to carefully review the contract terms, looking for potential loopholes and risks.

Time passed slowly, and the conference room was quiet, save for the occasional sound of turning pages and hushed discussions.

After some time, there was a knock on the conference room door, and Xiao Yang, the administrator, poked his head in with an barely suppressed smile: "Wanmeng, someone is looking for you."

Shi Wanmeng looked up, glanced at the time, guessing that Huang Chen's legal representatives had arrived, and turned to say, "Bring them in and pour them a cup of tea."

Xiao Yang's smile grew increasingly strange: "So I let them in, huh?"

After saying that, she pushed open the office door. Shi Wanmeng was still pondering the unusual part of her words when she saw Huang Chen walk in with a middle-aged man.

Shi Wanmeng stood up in surprise: "What's wrong with you...?"

Huang Chen glanced at her and introduced her with a smile, "This is our company's top legal counsel, Attorney Zheng. I didn't have anything else to do, so I came along with him." He said this without any guilt, since Xie Yunting couldn't hear him anyway.

Attorney Zheng stepped forward, a slight smile appearing on his previously serious face: "Ms. Shi, hello."

Looking at the meticulously dressed person in front of her, Shi Wanmeng realized that he perfectly matched all her stereotypes about lawyers.

"Hello, Attorney Zheng, please have a seat. Thank you for coming all this way."

Attorney Zheng shook his head, skipped the pleasantries, glanced at the table, and asked, "It's nothing. Are these contracts on the table?"

Chi Yun then explained the current situation in detail, and Attorney Zheng quickly grasped the key point: "So you want to terminate the contract while minimizing your losses?"

“Hmm,” Shi Wanmeng scratched her head, “It’s not just about money, but also about public opinion and these collaborations.”

Attorney Zheng nodded knowingly and began to look through the documents one by one. Chi Yun and Sister Zhong cooperated by telling him about their previous findings.

In a quiet conference room, Huang Chen sat down next to Shi Wanmeng and asked in a low voice, "Why do you suddenly want to terminate the contract?"

Shi Wanmeng pinched her brow and sighed, "It's not sudden. I've had this idea for a while. I was originally planning to take it slowly, but now there are some circumstances, and I feel like I can't wait any longer."

Seeing Huang Chen's puzzled expression, Shi Wanmeng continued to explain, "The situation within the company is very complicated right now, with fierce infighting between the various factions. Sister Hong, oh, that's my former manager, she's now signed with Lu Ye..."

Before Shi Wanmeng could finish speaking, Huang Chen suddenly interrupted her loudly: "Who did you just say?"
