She quickly picked up her phone and called her fiancé, Zhao Guangbai. After the line beeped twice, Zhao Guangbai's concerned voice came from the other end of the line: "What's wrong, Xiaozhi? Are you still not feeling well?"

Jiang Baizhi said with a hint of grievance, "I'm fine. I just checked Weibo for a while. Many people online said that I was born with bad luck and failed to complete the recording twice, but I clearly didn't..."

Zhao Guangbai comforted her gently, "Be good, don't cry. I know you're not that kind of person. You're my lucky star. If it weren't for you, the Zhao and Jiang families wouldn't be doing so well in business."

In fact, during the two years she had been in the novel, Jiang Baizhi had made full use of the plot's golden fingers to help the Zhao and Jiang families complete many large businesses. Therefore, both companies regarded Jiang Baizhi as a lucky star.

"But I don't want to see so many comments directed at me..." Jiang Baizhi's voice still contained a hint of sadness.

Zhao Guangbai quickly said, "I'll order someone to delete all these bad comments. Be good, don't bother yourself, and get some rest. You've only just recovered."

Jiang Baizhi nodded obediently and said, "Yeah, I understand. You should also go to bed early. Don't keep dealing with work and forget to take care of yourself."

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I have something to do here, so I'll hang up first. Love you." Zhao Guangbai's voice was full of pampering.

"Yeah, I love you too." Jiang Baizhi said and gently hung up the phone.

Jiang Baizhi leaned quietly against the headboard, patiently waiting. Not long after, she picked up her phone and checked Weibo again. To her surprise, all the negative news about her had vanished. A smile suddenly spread across her face, and she couldn't help but hum a cheerful tune.

After this joyful moment, Jiang Baizhi's thoughts drifted back to the events of the third season of the original novel. She clearly remembered that at that time, the fake daughter in the original novel had been kicked out of the program. Without the hindrance of the fake daughter, the heroine immediately embarked on a career path. In this episode, the heroine's painting skills would be recognized by the master painter Tao Huaixi, and he would accept her as his disciple.

To connect with Tao Huaixi, Jiang Baizhi had been studying painting for a long time. She often practiced diligently in the Jiang family's studio, all for this moment. She was confident in herself and had no concerns that Tao Huaixi would dislike her paintings, because she had made all the necessary preparations.

The next morning, sunlight streamed through the windows, casting patches of light onto the ground. After gently seeing Su Jingmo off to work, Qu Qingdai returned to her studio as usual. Gently picking up her brush, she traced lines across the pristine white canvas, her expression focused and serene, lost in her own world of painting.

Meanwhile, Su Jingmo was invited by the heirs of various wealthy families in Hai City to attend a grand chamber of commerce. Rumor had it that a prominent figure from Jing City was coming, and he was ready to see who this figure was.

At this time, in the banquet hall of a five-star hotel in Hai City, it was very lively, and the young masters and young ladies from various wealthy groups gathered there.

Many of these people looked familiar. There was the elegant Bai Ren, with his tall stature and distinguished demeanor; there was the handsome Zhao Guangbai, with his smile and a confident look; and there was Zhao Chenxiang, dressed in a gorgeous gown and delicately made-up, like a blooming flower. They moved about the banquet hall, exchanging pleasantries...

"By the way, brother, I heard that people from Beijing will also attend the banquet today. Is this news true?" Zhao Chenxiang asked Zhao Guangbai curiously, with anticipation flashing in her eyes.

"Well, there is such a saying, but it may not be accurate. However, we must be fully prepared and leave a good impression on the other party, so that we can rely on our connections in Beijing in the future." Zhao Guangbai said seriously, adjusting his collar as he spoke.

"Don't worry, brother. I will definitely behave well. By the way, how is my sister-in-law doing recently? I haven't visited her recently, and I don't know if she has recovered from her illness."

"It's not a big deal. She's been discharged and is now back home resting. But that Qu Qingdai is really quite capable. I see everyone praising her online."

"Humph, what real abilities can someone who grew up in an orphanage have? I think she only knows some petty tricks to frame others."

"Indeed. After the variety show is over and Bai Zhi's reputation improves, we'll find someone to send her abroad and tell her never to come back."

"I totally agree. It would be best if she never comes back."

"Okay, let's not talk about her anymore. The party is about to start. Let's go."

"Uh-huh!"

Zhao Chenxiang nodded, followed Zhao Guangbai, and walked into the bustling crowd in the banquet hall.

At this time, in the private room on the second floor of the banquet hall, Su Jingmo was meeting with his good friend Shang Lu.

"Why are you here?" Su Jingmo looked at Shang Lu and asked with some confusion. He really didn't expect that the so-called big shot was Shang Lu in their circle.

"I heard that our perpetual bachelor finally got married and came to the city where his sweet wife lives. I had to come and see her." Shang Lu said with a smile, a teasing look on his face.

"Where did you hear that?"

"Oh! It was the bar's little prince Du Zhong who said that. A friend of mine accidentally overheard his conversation with Gu Senyu and told me."

"Hmph, that's him. It seems like sending him to Jing City to help was a wrong decision. Who knows about this now?"
