Qin Yue spoke on the phone, “Mr. Gu, Yuan Xi said that Zhong Xiaoyi has a secret crush, it seems you didn’t know? I was hoping to find out who her secret crush is and invite him as a surprise guest; maybe it could lead to a good marriage.”

Gu Hanchen scoffed, “How good can a little girl’s taste be? Forget it, find someone else—each celebrity gets cursed as soon as they join reality TV. Zhong Xiaoyi is young and new to society; she can’t handle cyberbullying.”

Qin Yue said, “I just want to make a reality show where handsome men and beautiful women date without conflict or scripts, broadcasting 24 hours a day. We’re all from Jiang City, we won’t edit maliciously.”

Gu Hanchen replied, “You would do anything for money. You promise no scripts now, but when it comes to ratings, you’ll edit maliciously. You won’t be the one dealing with the cyberbullying, so of course, you don’t care. I’m hanging up.”

Gu Hanchen didn’t give Qin Yue any face at all.

Pushing a wheelchair, Gu Hanchen arrived at Zhong Xiaoyi’s door and knocked.

Zhong Xiaoyi came out to open the door and asked, “Mr. Gu, what’s wrong?”

“Yuan Xi said you have someone you secretly love. Who is it?”

Zhong Xiaoyi frowned, “Mr. Gu, that’s my personal privacy.”

Gu Hanchen snorted, “Personal privacy? I thought you insisted on going to Australia for a reason. Who is in Australia, then? Your secret crush?”

“Why are you also obsessed with romance now? Forgot the agreement you signed when you joined Mi Chen?”

Zhong Xiaoyi said, “I’m resigning.”

Feeling a wave of irritation, Gu Hanchen couldn’t pinpoint the exact problem but instinctively sent a message to Chu Lin, “Jiangye!”

Chu Lin quickly replied, “Not keeping focus?”

Gu Hanchen sent a voice message, “Hurry up and pick me up at Jiangjing No.1, no backtalk!”

Zhong Xiaoyi, inside the room, heard Gu Hanchen closing the door behind him as she looked out at the bustling night view of Jiang City from her modest room.

She scrolled through her private Moments where there were photos of her with Gu Hanchen, and started deleting them one by one…

Her unrequited love from senior year in high school had lasted six full years, and now it was time to end it.

All her wistful, bittersweet hopes were deleted one by one.

In the private room at Jiangye,

Chu Lin watched as Gu Hanchen sulkily drank, “You’re still healing from your injuries, why drink alcohol? Let’s go out and play some games.”

Gu Hanchen replied, “It’s dull. I finally know what it feels like to have a sister. I used to be envious that you had a sister, now I’m not envious at all.”

Chu Lin raised an eyebrow, “You used to be envious of me having a sister?”

Gu Hanchen said, “Of course. Before Yuan Xi came to your house, Chu Yan was obedient, just a bit spoiled and a princess at worst—her real colors showed later. I used to want a sister, but now I think a disobedient sister could drive someone to death!”

Chu Lin laughed, “Yuan Xi has annoyed me plenty too.”

Gu Hanchen said, “Although we grew up as brothers close as can be, I must speak the truth—Yuan Xi annoys you and you totally deserve it.”

Chu Lin: “…”

Gu Hanchen sighed, “Still, a disobedient sister is indeed annoying.”

Chu Lin looked at Gu Hanchen, “When did you get a sister?”

“Zhong Xiaoyi, didn’t you know she’s incredibly frustrating?” Gu Hanchen sighed lightly, “She wants to quit her job and go study in Australia over a man she secretly loves. Ask her about the person she loves, and she calls it privacy!”

“Privacy? She dares to talk to me about privacy!”

“What’s more frustrating is that Yuan Xi even knows about her crush.”

Chu Lin said, “Zhong Xiaoyi is already a college graduate—it’s normal for her to have a secret crush. If she wants to study abroad, let her go. She’s an adult and can be responsible for her own choices.”

Gu Hanchen continued to drink his wine, “Ugh, so annoying.”

In Jiang City’s June, the heat was suffocating; as soon as you stepped outside during the plum rain season, your face would be pasted with dampness.

Early in the morning at Mi Chen headquarters, Zhong Xiaoyi was already busy. She went to the coffee machine to grind beans and brew coffee, organizing Gu Hanchen’s schedule.

Gu Hanchen didn’t show up until noon.

Looking at Zhong Xiaoyi, whose makeup couldn’t hide her swollen eyes, Gu Hanchen asked, “Have you been crying?”

Zhong Xiaoyi replied, “No!”

Gu Hanchen pointed at Zhong Xiaoyi’s very swollen eyes and said, “They’re swollen like this, and you haven’t cried? What? Did you fail to confess your love to the person you’ve been secretly admiring last night?”

“Even if the confession failed, that’s a good thing. Just stay peacefully in the country, don’t keep dreaming about studying abroad.”

“You’re not Huo Shiyuan, who can send abroad eight different cuisines’ chefs; if you go to study abroad, you’ll starve sooner or later.”

Zhong Xiaoyi murmured softly, “I can cook, and I cook quite deliciously, whether it’s Western, Chinese, Japanese, or Korean cuisine…”

Gu Hanchen said, “So, should I also praise you by saying ‘well done’?”

Ignoring Gu Hanchen’s sarcasm, Zhong Xiaoyi took a document nearby for Gu Hanchen to sign, “The administrative department has finalized the secretary’s trip abroad. We are going to the Maldives, the management office will go in two batches, departing in a week.”

Looking at Zhong Xiaoyi, Gu Hanchen said, “You’re about to resign, you won’t be able to enjoy the company’s trip abroad.”

Zhong Xiaoyi: “…”

Zhong Xiaoyi returned to her desk handling the busy and tedious work, assisting Gu Hanchen in filtering applications on the OA system first.

Mi Chen recently was busy introducing new spokespersons for several games and launching two long-awaited new games for beta promotion.

The busy work also briefly made Zhong Xiaoyi forget her ridiculous little thoughts.

The Forest Pursuit’s spokesperson shooting took place on the hill beside Ruohu Lake in Jiang City, with Gu Hanchen demanding that the spokesperson shoot in real locations and add effects.

On the day of the shoot, Gu Hanchen specially drove there.

The rainy and stuffy mountain weather was just as oppressive.

Shooting was torture for Yan Ke; under the drizzly rain, she had to wear the costumes from the game and perform movements directed by the martial arts guide, which was indeed very challenging for her.

In the gloomy, drizzly weather, although the atmosphere was fitting, it was torture.

Gu Hanchen sat in the car, watching Yan Ke’s shooting.

Zhong Xiaoyi, sitting in the passenger’s seat, looked back at Gu Hanchen and said, “Mr. Gu, don’t you want to go check on Lady Yan? She seems to be in a lot of pain.”

Gu Hanchen replied, “I’m paying her ten million to be the spokesperson, why should I go and show concern?”

Zhong Xiaoyi said, “But don’t you want her to become Mrs. Gu?”

Gu Hanchen replied, “I gave her three days to consider whether she wants to be my wife, and today is the fifth day. Her lack of response essentially means she’s declined. There’s no need to feel sorry for her. Making ten million this easily is quite enviable.”

Zhong Xiaoyi whispered, “If you’re so envious, you could also become a celebrity, Mr. Gu. With your own popularity and topics, becoming a celebrity might actually earn you perhaps 2.08 million a day.”

Gu Hanchen said, “That won’t do, only earning 2.08 million a day? I can’t even imagine how anxious I’d be living such a poor life.”

Zhong Xiaoyi: “…”

Zhong Xiaoyi now felt that if Gu Hanchen was ever hung on a street lamp one day, it would be his own doing.

Yan Ke shot take after take, and the director kept calling cut after cut.

Yan Ke suddenly showed her heiress temperament, “Why do we have to shoot live, on such a hot and rainy day, the makeup is all melting. It’s just a promotional video for a game, not like we’re shooting a big director’s movie!”
