Looking around Chongyu, it seemed there was no one else there. Was it him who came to see her alone this time?

That's strange.

Come to think of it, apart from the first time we discussed cooperation, Chong Yu hasn't been to Xingyue since.

Chongyu looked at the person who came in, tugged at the drawstring of his hoodie, and looked like a college student with a slightly awkward expression. "This has nothing to do with my brother, it's just our family. Originally... but my brother told me to come by myself."

"Oh ho, what you're saying is as good as saying nothing at all."

After talking for so long, opening and closing his mouth, spitting out words, he hadn't expressed anything at all. What exactly did he babble about?

That's pretty impressive of you to be able to say it like that.

Chongyu: "..."

However, seeing that Chongyu wasn't wearing a suit now, which gave him a more sunny and boyish charm, she didn't say anything more.

Could this be considered a sign of trust in her?

"Come with me."

Inside the office, Wang De looked at the person who had been occupying his seat for so long, but didn't dare to say anything. "Boss, Young Master Chong, your coffee."

Qi Jiu looked at the person in front of her. Even though he hadn't explained anything clearly just now, she still understood something.

"Want to cooperate?"

Chongyu nodded. "Mm."

"But didn't you stop managing the Chong Group before? Why are you managing it again now? Are you personally handling all the collaborations?"

He didn't care about the Chong family's affairs at all before, and followed Qi Silin around every day. Anyone who didn't know better would think he was the second young master of the Qi family.

However, no matter what, Chongyu's strength cannot be ignored.

Having followed Qi Silin for so long, he would be perfectly capable of taking over the Chong family now.

"I don't know." Chong Yu seemed a little confused as well. "I didn't care before, but a few days ago my parents suddenly called me back and asked me to handle this cooperation. I didn't want to agree at first, since they'd already given it to Chongming, but I am, after all, a member of the Chong family..."

As he spoke, his voice grew softer and softer.

Suddenly, he hissed.

She suddenly looked at Qi Jiu and said, "Do you think my parents only sent me to act as a mediator after they found out we have a good relationship? Is that how they can facilitate cooperation between our two families?"

That idea is still somewhat plausible, right?

But upon hearing this, Qi Jiu laughed first. "Do you think your parents are that kind of people?"

Chongyu shook his head without hesitation. "No."

Although he often argues with his family, it doesn't stop him from shaking his head now. The arguments are due to their unhealthy way of interacting, but his parents' character is perfectly fine.

The Chong family has come this far without ever taking a wrong turn.

Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of Chongyu, she didn't bother to say anything more. "Alright, alright, let's get down to business. I won't ask anything else."

Anyway, they knew nothing about it when asked.

When Chongyu left Xingyue, it was already getting dark.

Chongjia.

Chongming looked at the person who had just returned, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Ayu's back? Hasn't he eaten yet?"

Hearing such a voice, Chongyu was taken aback.

Looking up at the person in front of him, his deep eyes held a hint of evasion and unease, but now that the person was back, he couldn't just leave, so he could only nod.

"Um."

As the aroma of food wafted out, Chongyu's mother came out carrying the dishes. "Xiaoyu's back? Perfect timing, wash your hands and eat. Mom made your favorite food."

The attitude of Chongyu's father seemed quite different from that of Chongyu's mother; he didn't say much about his concern.

"Have you discussed the contract with Xingyue?"

"We talked, and we reached an agreement."

Chongyu looked at his father, his expression somewhat complicated.

They've argued countless times over Chongming's matter, and now they probably have nothing nice to say to each other.

But... for some reason, he suddenly thought of Qiqi's words.

Should we ask clearly? Should we ask clearly or not? Now is an opportunity, but…

Without realizing it, the relationship between the family members had deteriorated, and perhaps it was time to talk things out.

The end of the college entrance examination allowed Chen Sisi, who had been under a lot of tension, to finally relax. On the first day of her vacation, she slept until noon.

After that, they were like little devils, exploring places they'd never been before and doing things they'd never done before. Every day was spent either shopping with girls or playing video games.

One day, I even found myself happily munching on Wan Zhou's album.

Qi Jiu looked at the person who had been acting strangely for several days and suddenly laughed. "Wan Zhou's new album? You're a die-hard fan, but... where are you collecting color charts, kid?"

Looking at the photos on the table, Qi Jiu suddenly smiled.

There are quite a few photos of Wan Zhou on this table. Goodness, it seems like they've tried every hair color imaginable, and they've tried to get every album in every color imaginable.

Looking at this, Qi Jiu seemed to suddenly remember something. "Have you decided what color to dye your hair?"

The innocence and the identity of 'student' have suppressed them for too long. Now is the time for them to vent. After this period, they will be fine and they will become normal.

After all, who doesn't go crazy after the college entrance exam?

"Hmm... what do you think of this blonde hair?" Shen Sisi looked at her expectantly, her eyes fixed on her.

Seeing that she had chosen the most challenging hair color right away, Qi Jiu wasn't worried at all.

"I think it looks pretty good."

Chen Sisi has fair skin and is pretty; her black hair turning blonde is quite a unique look.

Having received the girl's affirmation, Shen Sisi became even more certain, clutching Wan Zhou's blonde photo and grinning like a fool.

Qi Jiu had assumed that the cooperation between Chongshi and Xingyue would proceed smoothly, but unexpectedly, an uninvited guest appeared in her office that day.

"Falling Star?"

It's been so long that I've almost forgotten this thing even existed.

Previously, Luoxing fled in a very sorry state with its tail between its legs; it's unclear what it can do now.

The person opposite nodded. As a fellow Easterner and a representative of the Falling Star, he now looked at Qi Jiu with a strange emotion in his eyes.

"President Qi, I believe that the terms we can offer are definitely better than those of Chongjia, and by a significant margin. Cooperating with us is your best choice."

The representative sent by Luo Xing this time was a typical Eastern beauty. Her yellow skin made her look much more pleasant, but there was something wrong with her facial expression and overall demeanor.

"indeed."

The girl held the contract in her hand and nodded quite seriously.
