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

"Bai Zhu and Su Muqing, congratulations!"

[Oh my god, this is explosive! The remaining few people...]

[Could it be that Zhou Ran and Yuan Xin have gotten together again?]

Have they all already formed groups?

Yes, Zhou Ran and Gu Ling teamed up in the first episode, but they didn't seem to have much chemistry.

I admit I'm being unethical; I just want to see Zhou Ran and Yuan Xin team up.

[I've already taken out my wooden fish; please forgive me, Buddha.]

……

Seeing the tense expressions on the faces of the remaining people, Director Wang didn't keep them in suspense any longer: "Among the four of you, Yuan Xin has the highest game score and will have the right to choose first."

"Yuan Xin, please make your choice."

"I choose Li Zhao."

Without even glancing at Zhou Ran, Yuan Xin blurted out that every second longer would be disrespectful to her.

"Li Zhao, do you accept?"

Knowing full well about Yuan Xin and Zhou Ran's situation, Li Zhao nodded: "Accept."

Although she knew that Li Zhao would most likely not refuse, Yuan Xin secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she heard those two words, and then smiled gratefully at him.

Director Wang glanced at the remaining two people and smiled, "Alright, then congratulations to Zhou Ran and Gu Ling on successfully teaming up."

Gu Ling had a bunch of things she wanted to say but had to keep smiling on the surface. She was so annoyed.

Before long, we arrived at the seaside resort without any problems.

Looking at the seaside villa, Shi Wanmeng whispered to Su Muqing beside her, "It seems the production team has really gone all out for this episode."

Su Muqing was already captivated by the villa in front of her and quickly nodded in agreement.

Compared to previous episodes, the accommodations this time clearly show that the production team put a lot of thought into them. It's not only the largest and most luxurious villa by the sea, but the exterior has also been renovated, with many flowers and balloons tied to the garden and windowsills, creating a very romantic atmosphere.

Standing on their other side, Huang Chen clenched her fist and covered her mouth, whispering, "Director Wang got a sponsorship. This episode has a title sponsor from now on. Didn't you know?"

Shi Wanmeng asked in surprise, "Really? I didn't see it?"

"Oh," Huang Chen thought for a moment, "then it's possible that the rollout will only begin today?"

"Then how do you know?"

Shi Wanmeng immediately sensed that something was wrong.

"Cough cough..."

"Say!"

Shi Wanmeng is cute and fierce.

"Uh, well, the investor he brought in is Yun Ting."

"Oh~oh~"

Su Muqing, who was eavesdropping nearby, spoke with a wavy tone.

What are those three doing together again?

Three elementary school kids huddled together whispering.

The three of you living a good life is more important than anything else.

Is that a demon in front of me? I can already picture it in my mind.

【I also……】

After finding their rooms, it was lunchtime, and without being reminded, Huang Chen went to the kitchen.

Recalling the previous egg feast, the others all followed.

"What? You're all going to cook?"

Huang Chen was puzzled.

"Uh, I can't leave you to do all the work."

Li Zhao spoke first.

"Yes, yes, I'll cook a couple of dishes too, haha."

Yuan Xin quickly followed.

Shi Wanmeng walked directly to the refrigerator, saw the ingredients inside, and took them out one by one.

"Chicken wings, green peppers, eggs, minced meat, cabbage, tofu, glass noodles..."

Su Muqing followed behind to count the items.

"Give me the eggs," Li Zhao quickly said, "I'll make some stir-fried eggs with green peppers."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him take the eggs away.

Huang Chen frowned and looked at the ingredients on the table for a while: "Then I'll make chicken wings."

Can you?

Shi Wanmeng's eyes were full of suspicion; this was one of the few meat dishes available.

"You doubt my abilities?"

Huang Chen was a little hurt.

"Uh... ok."

Before long, a simple five-dish meal with soup was served thanks to everyone's efforts. Huang Chen specially placed the chicken wings in front of Shi Wanmeng.

She looked at the dark chicken wings in front of her and hesitated: "This..."

"Aside from a bit too much soy sauce, there are no problems."

Huang Chen answered quickly.

Shi Wanmeng: "..."

"Hmm, everyone, come and have a taste, Da Huang made it especially for us."

It's better to share than to try it alone.

Everyone: "..."

Shi Wanmeng steeled herself and took a bite under Huang Chen's expectant gaze. Fortunately, apart from being a little salty, it didn't taste strange.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, the director spoke up at the right time: "Everyone, take a break at noon. The outdoor live broadcast will start at 2:30 pm. Please be prepared."

"What kind of outdoor live streaming can you do at the beach?"

Bai Zhu raised his hand to ask a question.

"It's a beach sports meet, so I suggest you take a good rest at noon to conserve your energy."

Upon hearing this, the entire room erupted in wails.

"Do I still need to exercise? Oh dear, I can't."

Su Muqing clutched her head and collapsed onto the sofa.

Yuan Xin, who had always been relatively unknown, also looked troubled.

In contrast to the reluctance of the female guests, Bai Zhu stood up, rubbed her arm, and asked impatiently, "What are the events, and how do we compete?"

Huang Chen also looked at the director and nodded in agreement.

Seeing their reaction, Zhou Ran didn't back down either: "Yes, what projects are there?"

Director Wang was very pleased to see the men's eagerness to try. He touched his clean-shaven chin and said with a smile, "I can't say now, so just rest well."

These words struck Su Muqing like a hammer blow. She jumped up from the sofa, staring blankly at the director. Director Wang felt a chill run down his spine and quickly made his escape.

【Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha】

Judging from this reaction, I don't know whether to sympathize with Su Muqing or Bai Zhu.

[I can't take it anymore, Qingqing, are you a comedian?! Mind your place!!!]

[Sun, beach, director, could you let them just wear swimsuits later? (ˉ﹃ˉ)]

[Ahhh, I support you!]

[Shorts, I want to see abs (ˉ﹃ˉ) I only saw a tiny bit at the gym last time]

Back in her room and lying on the bed, Shi Wanmeng couldn't fall asleep. She thought about what Huang Chen had said before, that Xie Yunting had invested in the show. So, the big show he mentioned that was going to be on Tomato TV must be the regular version of "Love Code".

According to her memory, the show and the platform were bound to become a huge hit.

So, selling the exclusive online streaming rights to "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" to him isn't out of the question. However, the specific price and revenue sharing are still negotiable, since the movie is likely to be a hit.

With her mind preoccupied with planning how to negotiate with Huang Chen, she somehow drifted off to sleep and had a sweet dream.

She stood beside the negotiating table, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, arms crossed, looking down at Huang Chen: "What do you say?"

Huang Chen huddled on the bench, trembling, and carefully took out the contract: "I...I'll do whatever you say."

Shi Wanmeng lifted Huang Chen's chin with her fingers and hummed softly, "Yes, that's more like it."

He picked up the contract and read it from beginning to end, nodded in satisfaction, and gave a wicked smile to the person whose eyes still had tears in them: "Be good, don't cry. From now on, you'll have a good life if you follow me."
