Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lin Yu hazily felt someone strangling her neck, and it suddenly became difficult for her to breathe. She took a look and saw that it was Han Yuan strangling her, the woman shrieking, “I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!”

Lin Yu fearfully watched as Han Yuan’s expression gradually turned savage, and she couldn’t breathe. ‘She’s going to kill me!’ Lin Yu thought and struggled hard.

* Thud* Lin Yu fell from the chair and suddenly woke up. ‘It was a dream, a nightmare.’ she realized. a thin laver of cold sweat on her forehead.

Lin Yu got up from the floor. Xi Cheng, sleeping on the sofa, turned over and continued to sleep. She carefully picked up her overturned chair and sat back down on it. Looking at Han Yuan’s face before her and thinking about the dream she had, Lin Yu couldn’t help but shiver.

The machines around them were making monotonous and steady sounds, showing that Han Yuan’s bodily functions were returning to normal, and she would wake up at any moment. ‘ Would she want to strangle me immediately if she woke up? Lin Yu thought.

She looked toward Xi Cheng, who had his back to her. His breathing was even, and he was sleeping soundly. Lin Yu was surprised that the commotion just now didn’t wake him. ‘Orperhaps he woke up and is too lazy to move.’ Lin Yu smiled bitterly. ‘I shouldn’t hold any hopes or expectations ofXi Cheng. Tharll only lead to disappointment.’ n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Her gaze fell on Han Yuan’s intravenous drip. ‘I can’t let her wake up. She mustn’t wake up. There’s no need for her to wake up again!’

Yun Liu stared darkly at the television screen in front of her. On-screen, Yun Nan, Fang Xi, and Shi Xiu sat in a broadcast studio for an interview.

“Director Yun, I heard that you’re best at making documentaries,” the host stated politely.

Yun Nan smiled and nodded. “Yes, I prefer making documentaries. I like to capture the details of the characters and events in the process of development.”

The host asked Fang Xi, “What about you, President Fang? I heard you two have been partners since your university days and have quite the tacit understanding. ”

Fang Xi’s crutches were beside her seat, and her hand unconsciously stroked the handle of her crutches as she smiled charmingly and replied, “Yes, the tacit understanding between us is unparalleled. We’re very proud of it!”

“Unparalleled, you say? Does that include the understanding between you and your husbands?” the host teasingly inquired.

The two smiled and nodded in unison. “Of course.”

Shi Xiu chuckled, “We’re all extremely envious of their divine friendship. We even specially tested the tacit understanding between them.”

“Oh?” The host stated, interested. “How do you test that?”

Shi Xiu answered, “We did that by asking them the same questions when they weren’t in the same place. Gosh, they usually don’t even hesitate when they answer. It’s simply incredible.”

The host asked Yun Nan and Fang Xi for confirmation, but the two just smiled and didn’t say a word. Seeing this, the host then inquired, “So, did you guys also decide to have Shi Xiu be the host of your newest documentary at the same time?

Fang Xi smiled. “It’s fine for Yun Nan to decide on this matter alone. I support her unconditionally.”

“And you, Shi Xiu? Why did you decide to host this show?” the host asked.

Shi Xiu playfully batted her eyes as she replied, “Because I want to increase my public exposure! I’ve just finished filming my new movie, and there are still a few months before it airs. I have to get active; I heard a manager tell her artiste on set that, in this era where traffic is king, you have to frequently appear before the audience for them to remember you. That’s why I’ve been busy making full use of my time between acting, see?”

Shi Xiu laughed out loud after saying that. Yun Liu’s face was livid; the manager Shi Xiu was talking about was Tan Ning, and she had indeed told Yun Liu that, but Yun Liu didn’t expect Shi Xiu to go to such lengths to belittle her with these comparisons!

‘My nemesis was originally only Yun Nan alone, and now there’s another: Shi Xiu!’ Yun Liu inwardly raged. ‘Argh, how frustrating! And that Liang Han’s as slippery as an eel. He hasn’t replied in all this time after he’d read ourproposal, and then he turns around to invest in Yun Nan and Shi Xiu’s show instead. He’s truly not giving us any respect at all.’

Tan Ning pushed open the door and came in. Yun Liu threw the pen holder beside her straight at the opposite wall, catching Tan Ning off guard and giving her a shock.

“What’s wrong with you?” Tan Ning reflexively snapped.

Yun Liu pointed at the television screen. “See for yourself! Look how creative they are, and compare it with our shows! Our planning and publicity department staff are a bunch of trash! Fire them all and recruit a new batch of people! I want creativity! Originality! I don’t want those outdated things; they won’t be able to attract investments at all! Those guys are a bunch of trash!

What’s the use of keeping them on my payroll?”

Tan Ning silently let her vent and rant. After Yun Liu finished, Tan Ning said, “Calm down. Take it easy.”

“How can I take it easy? They’re already making jibes at us in their pre-show publicity! Shi Xiu is truly shameless. Not only is she—the daughter of a wealthy family—snatching jobs from ordinary people like us, but she’s also publicly mocking us.. How shameless! It’s simply too much!”
