<...The skills she learned in her twenties, Zhou Tian understood when she was eighteen or nineteen.
After successfully completing the task, Song Yunxi started browsing Chi Li's WeChat Moments.
Surprisingly, this seemingly victorious figure in a palace intrigue drama had such a "clean" social circle. Her days were filled with nothing but eating, drinking, and merrymaking. Forget the cutthroat competition in the business world; there wasn't even a trace of anything related to the Chi Group. Song Yunxi even wondered if she had the wrong person.
Dong Jia arrived late after changing into her dress in the lounge. Ji Yanchu greeted her with a smile, leaving Mu Chen alone by the glass railing on the rooftop, overlooking the dazzling lights below.
"The night view of Seoul is also beautiful, but unfortunately I have never seen such a beautiful view before."
A gentle voice reached his ears, and Mu Chen turned his head to see Song Yunxi standing beside him, smiling and looking into the distance.
"Why?"
Song Yunxi smiled and raised her glass to Mu Chen: "Because the mood is different when you see the scenery with different people. So thank you, Mr. Mu, for accompanying me to see the scenery today."
Mu Chen smiled and gently clinked glasses with her.
"It's a good thing that President Mu also came to the party, otherwise I don't know what I would do if President Lang left me here alone."
"With your cheerful personality, Miss Song, many people will naturally want to be your friend."
He was sitting among a group of girls, chatting and laughing, and showed no signs of being abandoned.
Song Yunxi tilted her head slightly. "Did you look at me just now?" Her eyes were fixed on Mu Chen, with that gaze that seemed to see right into his heart.
Seeing that Mu Chen did not answer, Song Yunxi smiled and turned back to gaze at the lights and stars stretching into the distance where the sky met the earth.
"Actually, I prefer watching the stars quietly with President Mu to engaging in lively discussions in a crowd."
Jiang Hailang, who was still feeling a little guilty for leaving Song Yunxi alone, was searching for her in the crowd. He turned around and saw the two of them standing side by side on the edge of the rooftop, looking up at the starry sky.
The scene was so beautiful that he couldn't bear to disturb it.
Mu Chen's phone beeped. He opened it and glanced at Jiang Hailang's WeChat. Inside was a photo of him and Song Yunxi standing side by side, looking at the stars.
I don't know if I should praise Jiang Hailang's photography skills? A photo he casually took with his phone actually looks like a professionally edited image.
Mu Chen glanced at Song Yunxi standing on the right, and she leaned closer as if to understand.
Her loose hair brushed against her cheek as she lowered her head, obscuring her view of her phone screen. Song Yunxi tilted her head, reached out and gathered her hair, gently tucking it behind her ear.
After that, she carefully studied the photo, and when she looked up at Mu Chen again, her face was full of surprise, and even her eyes seemed to brighten.
In the darkness, Mu Chen, dressed in a sharp dark suit, stood with one hand in his pocket and the other holding a glass of red wine, exuding an air of refined elegance. Song Yunxi, on the other hand, wore a light purple backless dress, its cinched waist perfectly showcasing her stunning figure.
Song Yunxi said, "It's so beautiful, can you send it to me?"
"Of course." Mu Chen agreed and quickly sent the photos over.
Song Yunxi looked at Mu Chen with a smile on her face and a light in her eyes. She seemed to have something to say, but hesitated to speak.
Before their gazes had even left each other, a soft, sweet female voice entered their ears. "President Mu."
Zhou Tian stood two or three meters away from them and called out softly, probably unsure whether she should disturb the couple who looked so pleasing to the eye.
"Mm." Mu Chen nodded gently. Then he introduced Song Yunxi: "This is Zhou Tian."
Song Yunxi smiled sincerely at Zhou Tian. "Miss Zhou is even more beautiful in person than in the photos."
In the morning, after checking Chi Li's information, she also checked Zhou Tian's information.
The nineteen-year-old girl had only been in the industry for a little over a year. Her face, full of collagen, had a touch of baby fat, and her bright red, pouty lips were curved in a full arc. Her big, innocent eyes, which looked like they had been wearing contact lenses, were gazing at Mu Chen, making her appear soft and pure.
A girl like that, let alone a man, even she herself would want to pamper her.
Song Yunxi felt that Zhou Tian had already mastered the skills she had learned in her twenties when she was only eighteen or nineteen. Truly, the younger generation is formidable.
"Thank you." Zhou Tian smiled happily after hearing Song Yunxi's praise.
Song Yunxi turned to look at Mu Chen, "Then I won't disturb you two any longer."
Afterwards, just as she had returned Mu Chen to Fu Meilin during the day, she returned him to Zhou Tian again.
Seeing that Song Yunxi had walked away and Mu Chen was still looking in the direction she had left, Zhou Tian spoke apologetically, "Did I disturb you?"
"It's alright. Let's go, I'll have the driver take you home." After saying that, Mu Chen strode towards the exit with Zhou Tian.
Song Yunxi sat on the sofa watching the two leave side by side, and sighed softly. She brought the champagne in her hand to her lips and took a small sip.
A deep, weary voice came from beside me: "I'm sorry."
Song Yunxi turned her head and saw a man leaning against the sofa next to her, his head bowed. He was resting one hand on the back of the sofa and the other on his forehead, looking very uncomfortable.
Song Yunxi quickly got up to help him. "Are you alright?"
The man seemed to lack the strength to support himself, so Song Yunxi reached out to help him, and he collapsed onto her.
The sudden pressure caused her to lose her balance, and the two of them tumbled into the soft sofa.
"I have low blood sugar," the man said, bracing himself against the sofa as he tried to get off Song Yunxi.
"Please wait a moment."
Song Yunxi struggled to push away his body that was pressing down on her, and then slowly pulled her skirt out from under him. Then she turned around and went to the food counter to get some desserts and juice.
Sweets are incredibly effective for treating low blood sugar. Song Yunxi sat on the sofa opposite, watching the person in front of her drink juice and eat a few bites of dessert before slowly recovering.
Gone is the weak and disheveled appearance from before; the man spoke again: "I'm sorry, my apologies."
Song Yunxi smiled, "It's alright."
The man before me was dressed in an impeccably tailored suit, wearing narrow-rimmed silver glasses, his hair swept back and meticulously combed. He sat upright on the sofa, exuding maturity and elegance in every gesture.
He took out his business card and handed it to Song Yunxi with both hands: "I am Tantai Yi. Thank you for your help earlier."
Song Yunxi was stunned for a moment. She thought to herself, "Why does this person look so familiar?" It turned out to be him.
After taking the business card and seeing the title of Chairman of Heyi Consulting, Song Yunxi said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Tantai. I am Song Yunxi."

As they took the elevator downstairs, Zhou Tian turned to look at Mu Chen more than once, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.
Mu Chen spoke up: "Speak."
"Mr. Mu, I'm a little hungry. Could you take me to get something to eat?"
Knowing she was going to a cocktail party that evening, her agent hadn't let her eat much since noon, saying he was worried she wouldn't look good in her dress.
Mu Chen glanced at her, said nothing, and pressed the button for the second floor. When the elevator doors opened, he stepped out first.
"Order whatever you want," Mu Chen said calmly.
"Mmm." Zhou Tian took the menu from the waiter, her face beaming with a happy smile like a child.
She ordered a few light and easy-to-make dishes, and since there weren't many customers at that time, the dishes were served quickly.
Mu Chen sat opposite Zhou Tian, watching her eat with satisfaction. He suddenly thought of Mu Xian when she first entered the entertainment industry. Was she also scolded by her manager and not given enough to eat? Because back then, she was really, really thin.
Here, have this pudding.
Zhou Tian handed one of the two caramel puddings that the waiter had brought over to Mu Chen, her tone carrying the charming and playful nature unique to young girls, looking like an innocent and naive girl.
Mu Chen glanced at her without any emotion, but did not reach out to take the pudding.
Zhou Tian didn't insist. She stood up and placed the pudding on the table in front of Mu Chen across the dining table.
Afterwards, Zhou Tian faced Mu Chen and smiled as sweetly as her name suggests.
After they finished eating, Mu Chen still escorted Zhou Tian downstairs and instructed the driver to take her back to the address she had given him.
"Mr. Mu." Zhou Tian reached out from the lowered car window and gently grasped Mu Chen's suit sleeve. "Can I still come to eat with you in the future?" Her big eyes blinked, and her tone was so gentle that it almost took one's breath away.
"No need. I'll talk to your agent and they won't restrict what you eat anymore." After saying that, Mu Chen subtly pulled his sleeve back from Zhou Tian's hand, took a step back, and signaled the driver to start the car.
As he took the elevator upstairs, he made a phone call to Pan Zhe: "Tell Zhou Tian's agent that Zhou Tian doesn't need to be sent here anymore."
As for whether her manager allowed her to eat, Mu Chen felt it wasn't necessarily his responsibility to interfere. Although Zhou Tian had complained of being hungry and ordered quite a bit of food, it was all low-calorie, and she ate it in small, restrained bites. It didn't seem like her manager was unilaterally restricting her eating.
When Mu Chen returned to the party, some guests had already left.
Jiang Hailang sat down on the sofa opposite Mu Chen and handed him his phone. "Mr. Mu, what are your thoughts?"
It's Song Yunxi's WeChat Moments.
After Mu Chen sent her that photo, she immediately posted it on her WeChat Moments with the caption: "The Milky Way shines brightly, the twilight illuminates the dawn."
The first half of the sentence describes the night view they saw while standing under the starry sky, while the second half subtly alludes to the homophones of the names of Mu Chen and Song Yunxi.
Mu Chen thought carefully about what he thought before slowly saying, "Miss Song's Chinese is quite good."
The evaluation is very fair.
Jiang Hailang almost laughed at him. He hummed softly and then gave Mu Chen a thumbs up.
Mu Chen hadn't told Jiang Hailang yet that a few seconds after Song Yunxi posted on her WeChat Moments, she held her phone up to Mu Chen again, without saying anything, but her phone wallpaper had already been changed to a photo of the two of them from behind.
If Jiang Hailang knew about Song Yunxi's series of actions, he would definitely exclaim, "Damn, she's so good at flirting!"
Mu Chen asked, "Where is she?"
Song Yunxi was not seen among the few remaining guests at the party.
Jiang Hailang asked knowingly, "Who?"
Mu Chen rolled her eyes at him and said directly, "Miss Song."
"She left with Tantai Yi."
Mu Chen repeated uncertainly, "Tantai Yi?"
Tantai Yi, the chairman of He Yi Consulting, who became a top marketing expert in Asia at the age of 35; Tantai Yi, whom Rui Yan missed his lecture at Lan University and regretted for a month.
"You've already taken Zhou Tian with you, so why can't Song Yunxi leave with someone else? You can't be so hypocritical."
As the waiter passed by, Mu Chen casually placed the wine glass back on the tray in the waiter's hand. Then he sat back on the sofa, crossed his legs, and looked at the distant starry sky, ignoring Jiang Hailang.
