After listening to it for so many years, I can sing it with my eyes closed. The voice carries a touch of melancholy, making it incredibly beautiful. What touches the heart most is the deepest emotion, something that resonates deeply with the listener.

Xiang Wan thought of her original world, which resonated somewhat with the song. As she sang, tears welled up in her eyes. This was a genuine expression of her emotions, a reflection of her wandering through these worlds, unsure when it would all end.

After the song ended, the recording studio remained silent for a long time. Xiang Wan thought everyone had left, but when she slowly opened her eyes, everyone realized who she was talking to and gave her the warmest applause.

"Xiang Wan, I didn't expect you to sing so well."

"If you become a singer, I will definitely support you."

Xiang Wan smiled slightly and looked at Li Ying. Li Ying's face was very unpleasant; seeing everyone cheering for Xiang Wan, he called her aside.

"From now on, forget this song, and tell your friends not to talk about it outside. Remember, I am the original singer, there is no other possibility."

Xiang Wan was stunned when she heard this. How could someone be so shameless as to directly claim someone else's song as their own? Zhou Ziqi was at least a little more tactful; this person's actions were practically robbery!

"But this isn't my song. If I wrote it, I wouldn't mind giving it to you directly, Brother Li. But now, I..."

"Don't worry," Li Ying said, patting Xiang Wan on the shoulder like an older brother. "If anything happens, I'll take full responsibility. Since Zi Qi said you'll be our assistant from now on, you need to watch your mouth. Don't say what you shouldn't say, and don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

And so, Xiang Wan and her roommates became Li Ying and Zhou Ziqi's assistants. When they mentioned they were still university students, Xiang Wan clearly saw the calculation in Li Ying's eyes and the smile on Zhou Ziqi's lips. Xiang Wan sneered inwardly; who was the hunter and who was the prey was still uncertain.

Li Ying acted swiftly; after recording the song, she went around seeking sponsorships and advertising. The scene from the original story where Xiang Wan was forced to accompany someone for drinks reappeared, only this time with her roommates involved—four people in total. Xiang Wan never fought unprepared; with ample funds, she took the time to make quite a few nice things, ensuring each of her roommates had some, which led the three of them to hail her as the dorm leader. Being the leader meant also having to maintain the dorm's cleanliness, a role Xiang Wan declared she had absolutely no desire to be their leader.

System: Tsk tsk, speechless.

This dinner was to accompany a wealthy businessman named Wang Yuan. He was in his forties or fifties, slightly overweight and balding, and specialized in family planning products. He usually had a kind and benevolent appearance, but his eyes changed instantly upon seeing Xiang Wan and her three roommates. His eyes were filled with lewdness, which even his thick eyelids couldn't hide. Xiang Wan felt disgusted by him, let alone her three roommates. Treated as naive college students, they were ushered to their seats and then given various excuses to drink.

As the main figures, Zhou Ziqi and Li Ying naturally had to accompany them. However, the two kept bringing up Xiang Wan and the others in their conversations. Although they used coded language, Xiang Wan could tell that this was no legitimate drinking party; it was clearly a pimping operation.

"Brother Wang, you're used to eating big meals, would you mind if we had some simple porridge and side dishes instead?"

As Zhou Ziqi spoke, she moved the very appealing crab-flavored cabbage heart closer to Wang Yuan's plate, and then looked up to signal Xiang Wan to offer her a toast.

Wang Yuan chuckled, subtly sized up Xiang Wan and the other three, nodded, and said, "Not bad, not bad, it looks refreshing and delicious, but I wonder how it tastes."

"You'll know once you try it."

Zhou Ziqi's ambiguous glance made Wang Yuan feel great.

"Hahaha, Zhou Xiaomei really knows how to handle people. Compared to these bland and tasteless dishes, I'd much rather have a few more drinks with you, sister."

"Oh, that's my honor. Come on, let's drink to that."

Zhou Ziqi raised her glass and, seeing that Xiang Wan and the other three were a little awkward, hurriedly urged, "Hurry up and fill the glass, don't spoil Boss Wang's enjoyment."

The three roommates looked at Xiang Wan, who patted their hands reassuringly and said, "Sister Zhou, we are all college students, and the school rules prohibit us from drinking. But for Boss Wang's sake, let's each drink to our hearts' content, just to make friends."

Xiang Wan stood up, picked up her glass, and drank it all in one gulp. Her three roommates followed suit and finished their drinks as well.

"Good, good, good. As expected of Zhou Xiaomei's people, just based on their drinking capacity, they can be called heroines among women."

Wang Yuan spoke sweet words, but he didn't drink. Xiang Wan wasn't about to let him and Zhou Ziqi's scheme succeed, so she picked up the wine glass in front of him and handed it to him.

“Boss Wang is a man of great things, he can’t just let us young kids drink, can he? Come on, let us see Boss Wang’s magnanimity. They say a man who doesn’t drink has lived in vain. Boss Wang is a grown man, surely he can’t be less able to drink than us young ladies.”

Wang Yuan's lips twitched slightly. He hadn't expected to run into someone as eloquent as Xiang Wan. But seeing that they were all looking at him expectantly, he felt a little embarrassed, so he picked up his wine glass and said, "Since little sister has said so, then I'll have a drink."

Pah! Little sister, you big-headed devil! An old man like you, aren't you ashamed to say such things?

Zhou Ziqi took a sip of wine and put it down, but Xiang Wan didn't intend to let her off the hook either.

"Sister Zhou, Boss Wang finished it all. If you just take a small sip, wouldn't that be disrespectful to him?"

As soon as she said that, Li Ying glared at Xiang Wan.

Hehe, look at me again, and I'll make you drink a cup too!
