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

Shi Wanmeng spent a long time forcing a smile before finally extinguishing Chi Yun's anger about working overtime.

"Alright, I've arranged an interview for you. Get ready," Chi Yun sighed helplessly. "Make sure you say everything you need to say."

"You still need to ask for leave?" Even if Director Tan is in a good mood lately, he can't treat people like this, can he?

"What are you thinking? Online is fine!"

After hanging up the phone, Shi Wanmeng lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, and soon drifted off to sleep.

The story went viral online for several days. Thanks to Chi Yun's guidance, the situation didn't turn sour. With the timely release of the interview, Huang Chen and Shi Wanmeng's extraordinary romance became a hot topic of conversation again. She is now undoubtedly the most popular female celebrity in the entertainment industry.

When filming for "Wild Mountain" wrapped up, Shi Wanmeng and Su Muqing emerged from the mountains, as if stepping into a new world.

Chi Yun didn't give them any time to rest. He placed a pile of scripts in front of them, his face full of undisguised smugness: "Come on, take your time to choose. I'll contact you if you find one you like."

Shi Wanmeng picked up a book at random, glanced at the title, and asked somewhat uncertainly, "Shall we just pick one?"

"Hmm, with your current popularity, any production team would welcome you with open arms."

“Sigh,” Shi Wanmeng sighed, and casually put down the script in her hand: “The changes are too fast.”

Knowing what she was lamenting, Su Muqing sat down next to her, holding an apple, showing no interest in the pile of scripts: "Isn't the entertainment industry just this realistic? Whoever has the most popularity is the boss, and they're masters at stepping on the powerful and flattering the weak."

Shi Wanmeng nodded gently. How could she not know these things? It was just that she had experienced them firsthand and couldn't help but feel emotional.

"Take your time choosing, there's no rush," Chi Yun said, looking at their slightly thin faces with a pang of sympathy. "I'll give you three days off, take your time looking."

Su Muqing paused in her apple-eating motion, looked at the pile of scripts, and cleared her throat: "Um, I have something to announce."

Seeing that both of them were looking at her, Su Muqing shifted uncomfortably and said, "Well, I'm not taking on any more roles for now."

Her words were ambiguous, but Shi Wanmeng instantly understood her meaning, while Chi Yun did not.

"What do you mean? You want to rest now?"

Su Muqing shook her head and said seriously, "It's not about taking a break. I want to enjoy life for a while. My acting skills still have many shortcomings. I've felt this deeply during this period of filming. Maybe this path isn't right for me right now."

Chi Yun was taken aback and asked in confusion, "Who told you that? Director Tan has praised you a lot in front of me."

Then, he tentatively asked, "Were you too tired from filming before?"

Su Muqing took a bite of the apple and said firmly, "No, actually I've had this idea for a while now. Recently, the company's business has been increasing, and I want to shift my focus."

Chi Yun was about to say something more when Shi Wanmeng quickly interrupted with a smile: "She actually told me about this before, and I think it's a good thing. Anyway, the company is hers, so she'll have plenty of opportunities to act in the future."

Hearing this, Chi Yun could no longer persuade him and could only nod helplessly.

"Alright, since you've made up your mind, let's do as you say. I'll help you with the public opinion."

Su Muqing glanced gratefully at Chi Yun, then her eyes darted around and she said, "Thank you, but I'd like to wait for the right moment to announce that I'm the boss of Daji Dafa. Don't you think that would be too exciting? Hey, Wanmeng, do you want to come along?"

Shi Wanmeng was startled and waved her hands repeatedly: "I don't want to be so high-profile, go play by yourself."

Chi Yun's eyes lit up: "That's a good idea. It can generate a lot of buzz, which will be beneficial for you whether you return to the entertainment industry or manage company affairs later."

Su Muqing chuckled: "That's what I was thinking too, but I need to plan it out carefully, because if this news gets out, it will definitely be a bombshell."

Shi Wanmeng looked at Su Muqing with some worry: "Are you really sure? This could cause a lot of trouble."

Su Muqing shrugged nonchalantly: "What's there to think about? I've never been one to hide things. Where's that boy band show going lately? I heard there are a few handsome young men with good looks?"

"What are you going to do?" Shi Wanmeng's eyes widened. Suddenly, she remembered someone's boastful words about starting a male model company. Alarm bells rang in her mind. Yes, they were ringing for Xie Yunting.

"Of course I'll sign her! She's good-looking and can make money for me, isn't that great? What are you thinking?"

Su Muqing stared with her clear, big eyes, which made it seem as if Shi Wanmeng's mind was full of filth.

"Hehe, no, it's nothing." Shi Wanmeng chuckled dryly, then decisively changed the subject: "Have you told your family about your plans?"

Upon hearing this, Su Muqing immediately wore a speechless expression and waved her hand, "Don't mention it. My brother has been busy causing trouble for Xie Yunting lately and has no time to care about me. Besides, they support whatever decisions I make."

Shi Wanmeng imagined the scene, then burst out laughing. She patted Su Muqing on the shoulder and silently lit a candle for Xie Yunting in her heart: "Okay, it's up to you to decide."

When Huang Chen came to pick up Shi Wanmeng from get off work that evening, he saw her carrying a large stack of scripts and quickly helped her load them into the car. Even while working, he kept talking: "Why are you carrying so many? Are you going to join another production? Chi Yun is so cruel, she doesn't let you rest at all!"

Shi Wanmeng looked at the sour water that kept gushing out of someone's mouth and laughed, "Stop nagging, Master, Brother Chi is about to sneeze. He just told me to take a look and pick things out when I have nothing to do at home."

"Nothing to do at home?" Huang Chen keenly grasped the key point: "He gave you time off? For how many days?"

Seeing his expectant expression, Shi Wanmeng's heart stirred, and she decided not to keep him in suspense any longer. She gently raised her hand and slowly extended three slender fingers, waving them gently in front of his eyes.

As the three fingers danced in front of Huang Chen's eyes, he stared wide-eyed at the fingers in Shi Wanmeng's hand, his face quickly lighting up with surprise. Seeing Huang Chen's excited reaction, Shi Wanmeng couldn't help but laugh along.

"Hehe, then come stay at my house for the next few days, okay?" Huang Chen helped her fasten her seatbelt, his tone carrying a hint of flattery.

Shi Wanmeng's smile immediately froze on her face. She couldn't help but struggle for a moment, and asked knowingly, "Which family?"

"Of course it's at my parents' place," Huang Chen said matter-of-factly, leaving her no room for illusion.

Shi Wanmeng's expression turned somewhat troubled: "Is this...?"

Seeing what she was thinking, Huang Chen patted her hand: "They're all looking forward to you going, and..." He suddenly lowered his voice, "And my house has plenty of rooms, you don't need to be shy... cough cough, hey, don't hit me, don't hit me~"
