Jiang Can was taken aback. "Attorney Ye?"

Tang Yilan quickly changed her tune: "Oh, it's nothing, I was just asking! Isn't Attorney Ye your boss Huo's best friend? I just guessed that wherever Huo is, Attorney Ye would be there too!"

Jiang Can nodded, a vague sense of unease creeping over her.

Tang Yilan knew that Jiang Can, with his intelligence, might have figured something out.

So she forced a relaxed smile, trying to cover it up, "Um... actually, I have something I want to talk to Attorney Ye about! I want to consult him about the legal provisions regarding film copyright, and also, you know..."

"Film copyright?" Jiang Can was taken aback again. "You don't need to worry about that? Yufeng Media's legal department is very professional; they've already prepared the contract!"

"..." Tang Yilan was stunned, her face turning red as if she had a fever.

Jiang Can chuckled softly.

Normally, Tang Yilan wouldn't talk so much, nor would she get caught up in any particular person's thoughts.

But today, Tang Yilan has a side that is not known to most people.

“Attorney Ye should be there,” Jiang Can said softly. “If you have any questions, just ask.”

Tang Yilan hurriedly nodded and drank the cold coffee in one gulp.

...

Cheng Xuerou sat in the dressing room, attentively listening to the various tasks her agent had assigned her.

Since returning to China, she has been busy non-stop, signing contracts and releasing albums. Fortunately, her busy life has finally paid off.

She became a dark horse in the music scene, gaining hundreds of thousands of fans in a short period of time.

In addition, the marketing was well done, and the team gave her the persona of a creative and talented woman who was also a returnee from overseas. She usually had a quiet and humble smile in front of the camera, which made her very popular with the audience.

But as her exposure increased, she became somewhat arrogant and no longer cared about ordinary announcements.

So when her manager Nancy read out the fifth item, she put down her lipstick impatiently and turned to look at her: "Nancy, what are all these?"

"The boss arranged it for you!" Nancy smiled helplessly.

"What kind of singing competition judge would they let me be a judge of that level?"

“Xiaorou, you’ve only just started making your mark in Yangcheng, so there are some things you should do according to the company’s arrangements!” Nancy flipped through the handbook and crossed out a few events. “How about this… I’ll help you decline the ones that aren’t really meaningful, but you have to be a judge for the event. The organizer is a good friend of our CEO Lu.”

"Oh, I see." Cheng Xuerou thought for a moment. "Alright, let's just consider it a way to make our presence known to President Lu!"

“That’s right!” Nancy smiled and continued looking at the manual. “There’s also… the Yao family’s celebration banquet this weekend.”

Cheng Xuerou's eyes lit up when she heard this. She had thought that a newcomer like her would not have the opportunity to participate in the activities of the four major families.

"Happy, aren't you?" Nancy raised her eyebrows. "I had a lot of trouble getting this invitation!"

Cheng Xuerou's lips immediately softened, and she showered Nancy with admiration and praise.

While they were abroad, the two of them relied on each other for survival. In reality, life abroad was far from as good as they described. Cheng Xuerou had released a few albums, but in the Western music scene where white singers dominated the charts, her albums didn't even make a ripple.

That's why she sheepishly returned to Yangcheng and marketed herself as a talented woman who had returned from overseas, which finally garnered attention.

Like her, Nancy returned from abroad because she couldn't make it overseas. She wore a disguise and her mouth was full of carefully crafted lies.

"By the way, Sister Nancy," Cheng Xuerou asked, "Huo Zhixing will probably be attending this banquet too, right?"

“Yes.” Nancy saw through her thoughts. “What, do you mean you want to…”

Cheng Xuerou smiled meaningfully.

“Xiaorou, I don’t think this is appropriate.” Nancy frowned. “Attorney Ye has been a great help since we came back this time. Even if you want to find someone to rely on, it should be him! Young Master Huo, he…”

"Don't worry, I have a plan!"

Nancy sighed, "You have to be careful with every step you take now. We don't know much about the situation in Yangcheng! Especially not about Young Master Huo!"

"Anyway, he's not married. I already knew that!"

"But... what about Attorney Ye?"

Cheng Xuerou pouted.

She had known Ye Chen's feelings for her since they were in school, and over the years, she knew that Ye Chen had never forgotten her.

But she didn't think much of Ye Chen.

The Ye family was merely a scholarly family, far inferior to powerful families like the Huo and Bai families.

She was the most beautiful girl in school, and a beautiful girl should marry someone exceptional!

“Xiaorou,” Nancy said with a hint of worry, “Do you really want to get involved with Huo Zhixing? But I think Attorney Ye is also a good person, at least he is sincere to you… while Huo Zhixing is unpredictable, I’m afraid you can’t handle him.”

"What are you saying!" Cheng Xuerou glared at her.

Nancy pursed her lips and said nothing more.

She knew that Cheng Xuerou was talented and ambitious.

It's probably just bad luck that's kept me from making it big all these years.

If we could really get in touch with Huo Zhixing, that would be a viable option...

Nancy sighed softly, patted her shoulder with her hand, and gave a bitter smile.

“This road is not easy,” she said, looking at Cheng Xuerou, “but if you insist on taking it, I can only support you.”

"Thank you, Sister Nancy!" Cheng Xuerou smiled. "Don't worry, no matter how difficult this path is, I will keep going! After all, Huo Zhixing and I still have our friendship from our school days!"
