As for Zhang Huan, Aray, and Lulu, although they chose to disband later due to their sudden rise to fame and different future career plans, they were still signed to Jin Shu Company.

During this period, numerous larger and stronger brokerage firms came to poach him with high prices, but without exception, none of them succeeded.

Today is Jin Shu's thirtieth birthday. She had just finished packing up at the company and was leaving when she saw Zhang Huan, dressed in a leather jacket, driving a supercar parked downstairs. His triangular sunglasses were exaggerated and strange in shape, but they looked incredibly harmonious and fashionable on her face.

In the back seat of the sports car were Aray and Lulu.

The three have always had a good relationship. Even though Lulu has now ventured into filmmaking, Aray has bravely ventured into the European and American K-pop scene, and Zhang Huan has solidified her position as an Asian pop diva, despite their vastly different life plans, the three of them still frequently get together for meals.

After all, they're all under the same company, so there will be plenty of opportunities for them to get together.

The one festival that the three of them celebrate every year without fail is Jin Shu's birthday.

For the past five years since she joined the company, Jin Shu has spent every birthday with them.

It turns out that spending a lot of time with girls really does make you more lively and cheerful.

The three individuals have different personalities, but they are all sincere and kind, providing ample emotional support while also paying attention to your every need.

Jin Shu also enjoys being with them. Even though most of the time she just sits quietly to the side watching them laugh and joke, life becomes much more interesting.

Jin Shu celebrated her birthday with the three of them again this year.

Since all three are now extremely wealthy women, the gifts they give out are naturally not as expensive and extravagant as before.

Zhang Huan gifted her a necklace made entirely of diamonds, a style that is virtually unavailable on the market, and its price is naturally immeasurable.

Seeing this, Aray deliberately said something sarcastic.

"We're not as rich as Sister Huan, boss, please don't look down on us."

Aray and Lulu jointly bought a watch.

Zhang Huan glanced at it.

"You two are ganging up on me every day, and your watch, worth over three million, is still crying here."

The three of them started arguing again.

Just then, Jin Shu's phone rang.

It was attacked by the Jianghuai people.

He was filming abroad at the time. This film was a world-renowned director's production that Jin Shu had secured for him, and it was also an opportunity for Jiang Huaizhi's career to reach a new peak. So, three months ago, he went to the filming location with the crew and began a six-month filming period.

Happy birthday! I've had the gift delivered to your home. I hope you like it.

"Received, thank you."

"I'm sorry, I can't come back to celebrate your birthday in person this year."

Every year on her birthday, after Jin Shu finished her dinner with her three sisters, she would always see Jiang Huaizhi waiting for her at the door when she returned home.

The two of them will then stay on the large terrace of Jin Shu's house, drinking beer and chatting while enjoying the night view.

Over time, the two went from being superior and subordinate to friends.

At least, that's what Jiang Huaizhi thinks.

Therefore, he faithfully fulfilled his duty as a good friend every year, and whenever he had time, he would visit Jin Shu to spend every important holiday together.

The two have similar life experiences.

Like Jiang Huaizhi, Jin Shu also had no family.

So for the past five years, the two have lived like family, calling each other and checking in on each other's safety.

"What's the big deal? Business is the most important thing. Besides, I have someone to celebrate my birthday with."

"Your birthday is important to me."

"Alright, alright, is there anything else?"

"No, that's all. I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday."

Jin Shu sighed softly.

"I understand, I received your blessing, and I also wish you a smooth filming process and an early wrap-up."

"Yes, I will definitely go back as soon as possible and make it up to you then."

Jin Shu sighed softly.

"Okay, sure."

After hanging up the phone, I looked up and saw three people on the other end of the line looking at me with different expressions.

Zhang Huan took a sip of wine and said with a smile.

"Did Brother Jiang call you?"

Aray laughed from the side.

"Who else but him? Every year on his birthday, besides us, it's always him who celebrates the boss's birthday."

Lulu glanced at Jin Shu silently, then leaned closer and whispered a question.

"Boss, you and Brother Jiang... you two have such a good relationship, have you ever thought about... taking it to the next level?"

The three of them stared intently at Jin Shu, their eyes burning with gossip.

Jin Shu smiled.

"I treat him the same way I treat you."

Upon hearing this, Aray frowned and his tone became more blaming and resentful.

“Brother Jiang doesn’t think that way. We’ve all seen what he’s done over the years.”

Since I entered this circle, I've met so many men, and 99.9% of them are hypocritical, sanctimonious, and secretly do incredibly dirty things.

But Brother Jiang is the only person I've ever met who is truly consistent inside and out.

Moreover, we all know that his feelings for you have never changed over the years!

Lulu nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes! The four of us were drinking together that day, and when we talked about this, Brother Jiang even... even cried."

Even Zhang Huan, who had remained neutral on the matter, chimed in with a few words.

“Indeed, boss, if you need to find someone to spend the rest of your life with, Brother Jiang is a good choice.”

The three of them still remember that day when Jiang Huaizhi won the Best Actor award and they all gathered together for a celebration banquet.

Jin Shu returned to the company midway through the drinking session due to work reasons, leaving the four of them to continue drinking.

So Aray, who is always outspoken, asked Jiang Huaizhi directly.

"Do you like our boss?"

That night, outside the window, cars and people were bustling about. Facing this prosperous and lively scene, the man silently lowered his head, and a tear rolled down his cheek.

This stunned the three of them.

It was just a simple question, and no one expected Jiang Huaizhi to cry.

Zhang Huan frowned and asked.

"Why are you crying? It's so strange."

In her view, men only shed tears for one thing: to trick women into booking hotel rooms.

Therefore, she utterly despised men showing their true feelings in front of her.

At this moment, Jiang Huaizhi slowly raised his head and looked at the three of them.

"Yes, I like it. I've always liked it."

"Why don't you tell her you like her? And why are you crying?"

Zhang Huan looked at him with disdain.

"Because I like her so much, so much, so much that my heart aches with love, I dare not tell her."

I'm scared.

The sight before him instantly erased all the disdain in Zhang Huan's eyes.

Because it was the first time she had seen that truly liking someone could actually be frightening.

Because I like him so much, I'm also even more afraid of losing everything I have now if we make our relationship clear.

After that night, the three of them never teased Jiang Huaizhi about it again.

Because joking about such sincere feelings would send you to hell.
