Ruan Jizhou followed Lu Zhiwei forward.

"Have you fully recovered?" he asked with concern.

She's been gone for the past few months, how could he not worry?

"Yes, otherwise why would we be out here talking about work? You said you wanted to come with me to recruit the theme song for 'Yunxi Ji', how could I possibly refuse?"

“The distribution license for this TV series has been granted, and it will probably be scheduled for broadcast on the platform at the end of the year. You are, after all, the producer who invested 200 million yuan, so you should take this into consideration.” Ruan Jizhou’s handsome eyes stared straight at her.

Although he knew that the chances of them being together were slim to none.

But as long as they can stay in touch through work, he believes there's still hope.

From childhood to adulthood, when he wanted to accomplish something, he didn't rely on the innate confidence of Shen Jinmo; he relied on a hundred times more effort than others.

"Have you found a satisfactory candidate?" Lu Zhiwei knew that he would never fight a battle unprepared.

"Yes, there is one. I heard she came to the event today, and I'd like to talk about her abilities."

The two chatted as they walked inside.

Qi Mingli is one of the organizers of the annual fashion summit. He single-handedly integrates the connections in the entertainment and fashion industries, making the annual summit a place of fame and fortune for facilitating business opportunities and project cooperation.

This year, Qi Mingli brought many stars from his company, including Song Anran, who volunteered to join him and signed a music management contract.

Leveraging Qi Mingli's ability and skill in cultivating top-tier superstars.

Song Anran debuted with a single "Nirvana" in just a few months. With her cool and stylish singing and dancing style in the music video, her debut song swept the newcomer music charts and topped the charts, making her the hottest new singer in the entertainment industry this year.

With three high-end brand endorsements, she receives a constant stream of business collaboration offers.

Her strength is self-evident.

Today she wore a black knee-length dress with a strapless design and a string of pearls outlining the edges, which accentuated her full figure and made her look charming and alluring.

Ruan Jizhou brought Lu Zhiwei over to greet Qi Mingli.

Qi Mingli was not surprised to see Lu Zhiwei here; he had already checked the list long ago.

"Where has your sister-in-law been hiding these past few months? Shen Jinmo and I have been searching for her for ages." Qi Mingli brought two glasses of red wine to Ruan Jizhou and Lu Zhiwei.

They accepted the wine glasses one by one.

Song Anran held a wine glass in her hands, her gaze slowly sweeping over Lu Zhiwei.

After not seeing her for several months, her complexion had improved dramatically, and her figure had recovered perfectly. She was like a queen who had put on her armor again, shedding her burdens and finally able to return to the arena to dominate the competition.

"President Qi, please be mindful of the occasion and stop calling me 'sister-in-law'."

Lu Zhiwei emphasized this repeatedly.

She really disliked that title.

Every time they call her that.

She was inevitably bound to Shen Jinmo.

"Alright, alright, Mr. Lu. Lu's annual financial report this year is really impressive, it makes us envious. Why don't you do us a favor and invest in a few more dramas so that I can have my company's artists audition?"

"No problem, we can collaborate if we have a suitable script."

The two clinked glasses and chatted amiably.

Suddenly, Song Anran interjected, "I heard that 'Yunxi Ji' is recruiting a singer for its theme song. Has the person been chosen yet?"

Lu Zhiwei turned her head and stared intently at Song Anran: "Miss Song, are you trying to recommend yourself?"

Song Anran raised her delicate eyebrows slightly. "Why not? I have the ability. Right now, I'm at the height of my popularity. Singing for 'Yunxi Ji' would be a win-win situation, a mutually beneficial collaboration."

Lu Zhiwei smiled and said, "Miss Song looks like she's about to collapse easily. 'Yunxi Ji' can't withstand a second round of turmoil."

"What do you mean?" Song Anran was angered by Lu Zhiwei's inexplicable provocation.

Lu Zhiwei sneered: "Colluding with your own hospital to issue false reports to pregnant women, that alone is enough to bring you down."

She didn't hold it against Song Anran only because her brother, Song Hanzheng, pleaded for her.

Qi Mingli was really afraid that Lu Zhiwei would reveal even bigger scandals.

He had just signed Song Anran, hoping this cash cow would make more money for the Qi family.

Lu Zhiwei is a troublemaker. After not seeing him for a few months, she came back and immediately picked up a knife, intending to cut down his cash cow.

"Mr. Lu, let's play some games. I've prepared games for tonight's summit, I guarantee you won't have a wasted trip."

Qi Mingli gestured to Ruan Jizhou to help him take the person away.

Ruan Jizhou always respected Lu Zhiwei.

If she wanted to make a fuss, he would play along; if she wanted to play, he would play along.

"Alright, I can walk by myself." Lu Zhiwei's warning to Song Anran was just a brief remark.

Gazing at Lu Zhiwei's beautiful and graceful back view.

Song Anran clenched her fingers tightly, holding back her anger with nowhere to vent it.

She thought that by getting rid of the child in Lu Zhiwei's belly, she would have completely defeated her.

But for some reason, she didn't feel as happy as she had imagined. She always felt that something was missing. No matter which industry she wanted to shine in, she would inevitably have to live in Lu Zhiwei's shadow.

A moment later, she turned and went backstage to meet the person in charge of organizing the summit.

The summit's discussion session has ended.

The entire venue then entered intermission game time.

Qi Mingli stood above the stage as the warm-up host, holding a microphone in his hand.

"Thank you to all the distinguished guests for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend today's annual fashion summit. The prizes for today's games include the most popular jewelry, watches, bags, clothing, and other high-end luxury items in Yunzhou this year..."

Next, I will have the staff give everyone a slip of paper with your name on it, which serves as your business card.

On the blank space on the back of the business card, please write down the talent you want to perform tonight. Try to write down what you're best at, and also write a number between 1 and 100 on the card to represent your lucky number.

As Qi Mingli explained, staff members were already handing out cards and pens to the seated guests.

Lu Zhiwei and Ruan Jizhou sat together, and the two of them took paper and pen and casually wrote a few words.

Just consider it participation.

Sitting in the last row, the melancholy Shen Jinmo did not leave.

He wasn't in the mood to attend any summit tonight; instead, he spent the whole night in a daze, staring at Lu Zhiwei's back.

Until Qi Mingli approached him, saying he could help him, and even wrote him a special card, telling him to wait for a surprise.

After everyone handed in their cards.

Qi Mingli stood on the podium again: "Now I'll start drawing lots."

Qi Mingli casually pulled out a card.

This was something he had specially prepared for Shen Jinmo in advance.

"Okay, today's lucky guest has been chosen. The card that was drawn says 'confess your love'."
