After leaving Yun Shudai's room, Li Miaomiao went to her good friend Yu Qing's place.

I heard she gave the character promotional photos to Yun Shudai, and I asked curiously, "Can she draw? Is she a professional?"

Li Miaomiao raised an eyebrow and said proudly, "She is very professional. She drew the opening credits for the upcoming movie 'Demon God II,' as well as the character stills for 'Demon God I,' and the popular drama 'The Journey of Fallen Mountain.' Her current asking price in this industry is two million."

"So tall? Haha, as an actress, she has such professional skills. It has to be said that she is very excellent. You're keeping the good stuff in the family."

"No, no, this doesn't cost anything at all?"

Yu Qing laughed and said, "You don't want to be a vicious boss who exploits his employees, do you?"

"It's not that bad. Everyone in the industry knows how good my boss is. Because our biggest investor, Mr. Bai, is her husband. With that relationship, there's no need to bring up money; it would only hurt feelings."

"Her...husband? You mean Bai Muyin?" Yu Qing was clearly unaware of this relationship before.

"Oh, look at me, I've been so busy lately that I forgot to tell you. They just got their marriage certificate and are planning to have their wedding next year."

"We just got our marriage certificate, was it... before or after I met him?"

Who are you referring to seeing?

"Bai Muyin".

"Well, afterwards, the two of them made an appointment, saying it was the time when they first met. It was quite romantic. Watching them date, I suddenly had an urge to find someone too. Qingqing, what do you think, Qingqing?"

"ah?"

Are you even listening to me?

"Sorry, I was a little distracted."

"Is it because you've been working so hard right since you arrived here? Are you under too much pressure?"

Yu Qing forced a smile and said, "Maybe. I'm very curious how the two of them met. The Bai family in Ye City is one of the top merchant families on the entire Blue Star, right? Is the Yun family the same?"

"No, that's not it. The Yun family isn't in business. Her parents are both university professors, so they're a scholarly family. They're... Qingqing, you've never been one for gossip, so why are you suddenly interested in them this time?"

Yu Qing gave an awkward laugh, touched her forehead, and said, "I'm just... quite curious about the criteria these rich kids use to choose a partner. The rich kids I know usually marry someone based on mutual benefit. I wonder if the Bai family is after Yun Shudai's celebrity status?"

"You're really wrong about that. The Bai family has been developing for nearly a century. Their ancestors made their fortune in shipping, and it continues to this day, with businesses involved in all aspects of the industry. Over the years, they have always remained private and have never actively participated in business activities in Yecheng. In the 1990s, foreign capital took a liking to their family and tried every means to set them up. The head of the Bai family was very smart and refused to fall for it. He kept dealing with these capitals and carefully moved forward step by step. Later, when the capital saw that they wouldn't fall for it, they began to isolate, slander, and attack them. For those few years, they seemed to disappear. After about five years, they made a comeback. Moreover, they grew bigger and bigger, and even acquired many small shipping companies. Now, they have developed into the largest and most powerful shipping group in the country. It's just that their family has always kept a low profile, and the brothers in the family are all very united."

Yu Qing felt a lump in her throat. In their previous conversations, Bai Muyin had never mentioned his family background. She never expected that he would be married when they met again.

"You seem to know their family very well."

"After all, they are partners, so naturally we need to know more about them."

Yu Qing raised an eyebrow but did not tell her that she and Bai Muyin were high school classmates.

She was also Bai Muyin's crush during high school.

Actually, she only found out about this when she returned to Yecheng last year and went back to her old house to deal with the old house left by her parents. She accidentally flipped through her high school books and found the love letter in the books.

Actually, she liked him back then, but she was too shy in high school to confess.

Whenever I'm quiet these days, the image of that sunny, cheerful boy from high school pops into my mind.

I originally came back at a friend's request, just to try my luck and see him.

I never expected things to happen so coincidentally, that she would run into it.

But... was it ultimately too late?
