Back in his room, Cheng Si had just fallen asleep on the bed when his phone, which was on the bedside table, rang.

He frowned subconsciously, reached out and picked up his phone, pressing the answer button directly, "Hello?"

"My dear Boss Cheng, what are you busy with again? Didn't you say you'd be back in the next couple of days? Why haven't we heard from you again!" Zhao Ting's exasperated voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Huh?" Cheng Si was slightly taken aback, his expression still a bit confused, and he didn't react for a moment.

"You haven't forgotten that you have a variety show to participate in, have you?" Zhao Ting's tone was full of helplessness.

Cheng Si opened his eyes wide, and the last bit of drowsiness disappeared.

He ran a hand through his hair, sat up in bed, and yawned. "I'd really forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it."

"Hehe, I knew it!" Zhao Ting took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, and was already prepared to break the contract again, but still asked hopefully, "So when exactly are you coming back?"

Cheng Si leaned against the headboard, not answering his question, but suddenly said, "Xiao Zhao, I've found my sister."

"What?" This time it was Zhao Ting's turn to be stunned.

Cheng Si ignored him and continued talking to himself, "You can guess who she is."

"How am I supposed to guess?" Zhao Ting came to his senses and said incredulously, "No, really? How did you find it?"

Cheng Si smiled, his expression quite pleased. "Of course it's true, and you know them too."

Zhao Ting really couldn't guess. "Wow, stop being so mysterious. I know so many people, how am I supposed to guess who it is?"

Cheng Si stroked his chin, thought for a moment, and said, "Here's a hint, someone I just met recently."

After a few seconds of silence, Zhao Ting slowly voiced his guess, "Don't tell me your sister is Shi Miao?!"

Cheng Si gave a light "hmm," and said, "Not too stupid, Xiao Zhao."

Zhao Ting was completely shocked, but she still couldn't quite believe it and couldn't help but ask him again, "Boss, you're not kidding, are you? You and Shi Miao are really siblings?"

Cheng Si raised an eyebrow and said calmly, "If you really don't believe me, you can ask her."

He paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered something, and his expression became serious. He continued, "Xiao Zhao, I have to thank you for this. If you hadn't helped me submit my resume for the promotional video extra role, I wouldn't have found her so easily. We might never have crossed paths again. Anyway, thank you."

Hearing this, Zhao Ting had no choice but to believe that what Cheng Si said was true. "My God, this is unbelievable! How did you find out that Shi Miao is your sister?"

Cheng Si: "It's a long story. I'll tell you when I get back."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ting had no choice but to temporarily suppress the many questions in his mind. "Okay, then when exactly are you coming back?"

Cheng Si figured he had nothing to do here, so without much thought, he simply said, "I'll go back tomorrow."

Zhao Ting said calmly, "Alright, boss, I'll trust you one more time."

After saying that, he added, "This is really the last time!"

Just as Cheng Si was about to hang up, Zhao Ting called out to him again, "Wait!"

Zhao Ting coughed lightly and continued, "Since Shi Miao is your sister, then signing a contract with her is a natural progression, isn't it?"

Cheng Si raised an eyebrow, surprised that Zhao Ting was still thinking about this. "I'll ask her about it later."

Zhao Ting nodded, feeling a sense of bright future ahead, and said cheerfully, "It's up to you, boss. The success of our company hinges on this."

Cheng Si clicked his tongue lightly, "Promising."

He hung up the phone after saying that.

After making that phone call, Cheng Si had no desire to sleep anymore. He scratched his head, threw off the covers, and got out of bed.

After getting dressed, he left the room.

He first went downstairs to the living room, but when he found that Shi Miao was not there, he went back upstairs to her room.

After stopping at Shi Miao's door, Cheng Si raised his hand and knocked twice.

Soon, the door was opened.

When Shi Miao saw who it was, she was slightly surprised, thinking it was Butler Shi. "Brother, what's wrong?"

Cheng Si stood still, not intending to go in. Without wasting words, he said succinctly, "Zhao Ting sent me to ask you if you still want to sign the contract."

Shi Miao raised an eyebrow, clearly having forgotten about the matter. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Okay, you can arrange it as you see fit."

Although she had approached Cheng Si under the guise of signing a contract, she couldn't back out now that the matter had been brought up.

Moreover, it's a company started by my own brother, and it seems he really wants to expand and strengthen it, so naturally I should contribute my share.

“Okay.” Cheng Si was a little surprised. He thought she would refuse. After all, he knew that Shi Miao was not interested in these things. She only agreed to sign the contract in the first place to get his hair.

"By the way, I'm going back to the capital tomorrow."

A hint of surprise flashed in Shi Miao's eyes as she asked, "So fast? What happened?"

Cheng Si curled his lips slightly, his voice tinged with amusement, "It's nothing major, just participating in the recording of a variety show."

Shi Miao nodded, her voice clear and slightly hoarse: "I see."

Looking at her obedient and docile appearance, Cheng Si's eyes revealed a faint smile. He suddenly ruffled her hair with his large hand and asked, "When are you going back?"

Shi Miao ignored his ruffled hair, her clear black and white eyes sparkling. "I'll stay for two more days before going back."

Cheng Si hummed in response, didn't ask her any further questions, greeted her, and then turned and left.

...

After returning to his room, Cheng Si bent down, picked up his phone from the bed, and dialed Zhao Ting's number.

The phone was answered after ringing twice.

"Hey, what do you mean?" Zhao Ting asked eagerly.

Cheng Si walked to the window, looked at the view of the manor outside, and said lazily, "I agree."

"Great! Great!" Zhao Ting suppressed his excitement and said, rubbing his hands together eagerly, "I'll post this on Weibo right now!"

Cheng Si raised an eyebrow and said casually, "People don't run away."

Zhao Ting coughed lightly, "Of course I know, this is just to drop a bombshell on the industry as soon as possible."

Cheng Si slowly withdrew his gaze, turned around and walked to the single sofa in the room to sit down. "Ask her first before you send it."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ting calmed down a bit and realized that he had been too hasty. He had been so excited that he had forgotten to ask Shi Miao's opinion first. "You're right. I'll go ask her now. I'll hang up now."

Cheng Si: "Mm."
