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

Professional matters should be left to professionals. Huang Chen couldn't offer Shi Wanmeng any legal assistance, so he could only nod and say, "Okay, let me know if anything happens, and feel free to ask if you need anything."

Attorney Zheng explained in more detail before Huang Chen let him go.

In the following days, Chi Yun did not assign any work to Shi Wanmeng, allowing her to focus all her energy on terminating the contract. Although she said she wanted to rest, she was still a little unaccustomed to suddenly having so much free time.

"I wonder when Xingyuan will give us a reply. What are you planning to do these next few days?" Chi Yun looked at the documents in his hand, then looked up and asked, "Don't tell me you're just taking a break."

Shi Wan dreamed for a moment, realizing that she hadn't told Huang Min about the collaboration between Daji Dafa and Huang Min yet, so she said, "The company will have a cross-industry collaboration later, which has been preliminarily confirmed, but the specifics of how to do it haven't been discussed yet, so we may spend some energy on this in the next few days."

Huang Min messaged her yesterday, asking when it would be convenient for her to go to Manyun with Su Muqing to discuss the collaboration. Unfortunately, she is preparing to terminate her contract, and Muqing is still filming on set. No one has time, so it can only be postponed.

"Crossing boundaries?" Chi Yun became interested upon hearing this: "How far have you crossed boundaries?"

Shi Wanmeng thought for a moment, then asked somewhat uncertainly, "Is crossing over into the fashion industry and collaborating with Manyun considered far-fetched?"

Chi Yun was so shocked by her answer that she couldn't speak. After a long pause, she finally found her voice: "Which Manyun?"

Shi Wanmeng was speechless at his question: "How many Manyun do you know?"

Chi Yun's eyes widened. He stood up and looked Shi Wanmeng up and down several times before finally realizing it with a mixture of disbelief and sudden realization: "I knew you had something to do with Manyun! The dress that suddenly arrived from there was so strange. Oh, so you have such a powerful backer and you didn't even tell me?"

It's important to know that Manyun is a top company in the fashion industry. Last time, when Shi Wanmeng wore that dress, it caused a huge uproar, and he had to deal with countless negative press releases that followed.

Shi Wanmeng smiled, unsure how to explain: "It's just luck, I guess."

"Do you take me for a fool?"

Seeing the undisbelief written all over Chi Yun's face, Shi Wanmeng touched her neck and kindly said, "What I'm about to say might be a bit shocking. Did you bring some nitroglycerin pills?"

"Are you looking down on my mental fortitude as a professional agent?" Chi Yun said dismissively.

“Okay,” Shi Wanmeng coughed lightly, “Actually, Huang Chen is the young master of Manyun Group.” Feeling that her words might be a bit ambiguous, she added, “He’s my biological son.”

Chi Yun: "..."

Seeing his increasingly shocked expression, she continued, "I didn't know before either. Mu Qing told me that the Su family also has a partnership with them, and Huang Chen is the third young master of Manyun."

Chi Yun felt her worldview crumbling: "So you?"

"I only found out later," she said, then added to his words of comfort, "not much earlier than you, really!"

"And the party at Manyun last time was the same..."

Shi Wanmeng nodded somewhat shyly: "Yes, he stepped in and resolved the issue after he found out about the invitation last time, and he even sent a dress along with it."

"Damn it, give me a break!"

Chi Yun remained silent for a long time, as if time itself had frozen. His gaze was fixed on Shi Wanmeng, his eyes growing increasingly strange, revealing an indescribable expression.

This strange gaze made Shi Wanmeng feel uneasy. She couldn't help but wonder and even looked back at herself. Was there something strange behind her?

Filled with questions and unease, Shi Wanmeng asked uncertainly, "Brother Chi, what are you looking at? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Chi Yun did not answer her question immediately, maintaining that strange look in his eyes. For a moment, a subtle and tense atmosphere filled the air.

“池哥？”

Chi Yun sighed, hesitating to speak: "You... so you went on this show... really..."

Shi Wanmeng: "..." She seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand.

Shi Wanmeng smiled helplessly: "I chose to appear on Love Code simply because I thought it would be popular, not for any other reason, and I didn't know Huang Chen's identity."

"Then why do you think it will become popular?"

This question stumped her; she couldn't very well talk about her past life's experiences, could she?

“It’s just… intuition, I calculated it,” Shi Wanmeng clapped her hands, “Yes, I calculated it, I just did a quick calculation!”

Chi Yun patted his forehead, thinking to himself that he was starting to act strangely: "I didn't expect my artist to be so powerful. How about you tell my fortune?"

"Hey, I was going to give you a reading last time, but you didn't believe me," Shi Wanmeng said, laughing to herself. "Let me tell you, if you come with me, I guarantee you'll reach new heights in your career, no doubt about it!"

Chi Yun chuckled, neither confirming nor denying.

"Alright, thanks for your kind words. I'm full of energy now," Chi Yun stood up, picked up his bag, and said, "I'm going back to Xingyuan. I guess there will be another round of gunfire. I wonder if I'll be able to get compensation."

"You absolutely have to get it, and if you do, you'll treat me to dinner!" Mentioning this made Wanmeng grit her teeth: "Your money probably came from me!"

She goes into battle mode the moment money is mentioned. Chi Yun left speechlessly, leaving Shi Wanmeng alone at Daji Dafa.

She sat down in her chair, turned on her computer, took a deep breath to calm herself down, and focused intently on the bits and pieces of information about fashion trends that were swirling in her mind.

She was very clear that this collaboration with Huang Min was of paramount importance, so she had to seize this excellent opportunity no matter what.

She first carefully studied and analyzed the fashion trends of the past few years, especially delving into the works of Manyun. She couldn't help but admire Huang Min's talent in this area.

Even viewed from the perspective of aesthetic standards ten years from now, these designs are still just as good, and some of them may even become timeless classics in the future!

She didn't have the skill to draw design drafts, so she could only write down some of her ideas and summarize them into written descriptions.

Shi Wanmeng kept typing on the keyboard, turning her ideas and thoughts into words in a document. The more she wrote, the more excited she became, as if she could see models confidently walking the runway in her designs at a future fashion show.

Before she knew it, night had fallen. Shi Wanmeng stretched and loosened her stiff body. She looked at her document, which was full of creative ideas, and smiled with satisfaction.

After shutting down my computer and walking out of the company gate, I noticed that the ground was damp.
