Rebuilding the Film and Television Department Depends Entirely on the Two of You

The first thing that caught the eye was a pair of slender legs encased in gradient black silk stockings. Moving further up, there was a black waist cincher and a black trench coat.
Wearing a trench coat in the middle of summer!
Anyone who wears a trench coat in summer must have something wrong with their head.
However.
Chen Fang certainly couldn't say those words out loud.

Xi Yuanyuan looked at Yue Mi, who had just pushed the door open, a flash of displeasure crossing her eyes. "This is my private office. Didn't you know to knock before coming in?"

Chen Fang leaned close to Xi Yuanyuan and said in a low voice, "She is Yue Mi."

Hearing this.
Xi Yuanyuan froze for a moment.
She had never met Yue Mi before, so naturally, she didn't recognize the short-haired woman standing before her.

"You know my name."
"It seems you investigated me after going back last night."
Yue Mi's voice was very cold.
Yet it didn't sound forced.
It seemed as though her personality was just naturally this freezing.

Chen Fang didn't respond. Even though Yue Mi was the granddaughter of a powerful figure, Chen Fang had no interest in her. She was far too cold, completely lacking any warmth of human nature. Besides, wearing a trench coat in the dead of summer clearly showed that her constitution was terribly weak.

Seeing this.
Chen Fang had no intention of lingering here.
"I still have some business with President Qian, so I'll leave you two to chat."
Chen Fang smiled in greeting and walked toward the office door.

As he brushed past Yue Mi, Chen Fang could feel the bone-chilling cold radiating from her body. It seemed Yue Mi's aloofness wasn't just a matter of personality; her physical body was terrifyingly cold as well.

Suddenly.
Chen Fang felt a freezing sensation on his arm.
A fair, delicate hand firmly grabbed his arm, even exerting a slight grip.

Chen Fang frowned slightly.
This woman is surprisingly strong!
You must know, his physique had been enhanced by two bottles of physical-strengthening fluid. Aside from having health vastly superior to ordinary people, the hardness of his muscle tissue was also far better than that of the average person.
Even so, Chen Fang still felt a faint twinge of pain.

"Does Miss Yue need something?"
Chen Fang asked.
Damn it!
Chen Fang tried shaking his arm a couple of times, but surprisingly, he couldn't shake Yue Mi's hand off.

A trace of displeasure arose in Chen Fang's heart. He was, after all, Future Starlight's pillar of strength. Even if she was a distinguished guest invited by Qian Youlai, did she have to lack even the most basic manners?

"Do you resent me?"
Yue Mi turned her head to look at Chen Fang.
At this moment.
Only thirty centimeters separated Chen Fang and Yue Mi.
Chen Fang could detect a hint of puzzlement and annoyance within Yue Mi's azure eyes.

Likewise.
Yue Mi also caught the starlight gleaming in Chen Fang's eyes.
For a moment.
Yue Mi was slightly dazed.
This man's eyes... were so remarkably attractive, even more captivating than her own naturally blue pupils.

"I simply have matters to attend to, I don't resent you," Chen Fang explained. Yue Mi was, after all, the granddaughter of a heavyweight figure; it was best not to offend her if possible.
In the entertainment industry, interpersonal relationships were everything.

The corners of Yue Mi's lips curled into a cold sneer.
This woman could actually smile.
How rare!
Chen Fang had assumed a woman this aloof maintained the exact same expression even when using the restroom.

Xi Yuanyuan could no longer sit still. Right in front of her, flirting with an artist under her management—this was completely disregarding her presence. "Miss Yue, Chen Fang is an artist now, so please mind your manners and behavior."

Hearing this.
Yue Mi fell silent for a few seconds before letting go of Chen Fang's arm.
Yue Mi glanced sideways at Xi Yuanyuan, a subtle edge of confrontation filling the air. "Xi Yuanyuan, I know you. When we were kids, your dream was to become a painter, yet now you've ended up as a manager. You certainly are fickle."

Xi Yuanyuan arched an eyebrow.
Well, look at that!
Sister, what is the meaning of this?
Is this supposed to be a catfight with me?
However, considering the friendship between Yue Gusi and the Xi family, Xi Yuanyuan's words weren't as sharp as Yue Mi's. "I had plenty of dreams when I was a kid. If I had to fulfill every single one of them as an adult, I truly would be a genius."

Yue Mi narrowed her eyes slightly, her aura remaining icy cold.
Xi Yuanyuan, with her shock of red hair, was passionate and unrestrained.
In a sense.
These two women represented completely contrasting styles.

"Ice and Fire?"
Chen Fang muttered inwardly, clicking his tongue.
These two women seemed to intensely dislike each other.
Yet according to Xi Yuanyuan, they supposedly had never met before, making today their very first encounter.

Yue Mi's gaze didn't linger long on Xi Yuanyuan before turning back to Chen Fang. "I've come for you. Come with me to see Uncle Qian."
"Alright."
Chen Fang thought for a moment and didn't refuse.
Anyway, he was heading to see Qian Youlai too.

Xi Yuanyuan smiled as she stood up and walked over to Chen Fang's side. "I happen to have some matters to report to President Qian as well. Let's go together."
Rather than staying by Yue Mi's side, Chen Fang much preferred being with Xi Yuanyuan.
Yue Mi was far too cold.
Chen Fang felt as though he were standing next to a refrigerator rather than a human being.
Xi Yuanyuan was definitely much better.

Chen Fang and Xi Yuanyuan walked side by side toward the exit.
Meanwhile, Yue Mi said nothing at all, following closely behind them.

"Has she taken a fancy to you?"
Xi Yuanyuan asked in a soft whisper.
Chen Fang found it rather strange as well. "Including today, this is only my third time seeing her."

The third time?
Xi Yuanyuan's eyes flickered with a dangerous light.
Oh?
You scoundrel!
You haven't seen her for a day or two, and you've already hooked up with another woman.

Chen Fang looked thoroughly innocent. "What kind of look is that? I'm a decent guy. The first time I saw her was when she went on a blind date with a friend of mine; the second time was yesterday at the company's film and television department; and today makes the third."

Xi Yuanyuan's eyes lit up.
A blind date?
Gossip like this definitely demanded her full attention.

Chen Fang lowered his voice and recounted the story of the blind date.
Xi Yuanyuan clicked her tongue in amazement. "I thought someone like Yue Mi, who grew up abroad since childhood, would eventually marry a foreigner. I never expected her to return to the country."

Chen Fang didn't understand Yue Mi, so he didn't comment further.
In Chen Fang's mind.
Yue Mi and An Tinghan belonged to the same category.
They were both people he couldn't afford to provoke right now.
Therefore, Chen Fang preferred not to get entangled with such individuals.
Should any trivial action of his displease them one day, a single word from their family members could easily get him blacklisted. Although Chen Fang possessed a system, there was no need to take such unnecessary risks.

"Stay away from her," Xi Yuanyuan warned.
Chen Fang nodded in agreement.

Not long after.
The three of them arrived at Qian Youlai's office.
Qian Youlai was currently on the phone, seemingly discussing matters with someone. Upon seeing the three enter his office, he first instructed his secretary to serve tea, while he himself got up and walked into the lounge to finish his call.

A few minutes later.
Qian Youlai returned, wearing a broad smile.
"You've all introduced yourselves to each other, right?"
"Get to know each other better in the future. The three of you are peers, so you'll definitely have plenty to talk about."

Yue Mi remained silent.
Chen Fang responded with a smile. "President Qian, the reason I came here today is actually to discuss something with you. I want to rebuild the company's film and television department."

Qian Youlai pointed toward the quietly standing Yue Mi. "I asked Mimi to come over precisely for this matter. Since we are a prominent entertainment company in the industry, we must have our own film and television department."

As expected!
Chen Fang smiled knowingly.
Qian Youlai had the exact same thought about rebuilding the department.

"Mimi is someone I specifically invited to help rebuild the film and television department as my assistant. Since you share the same idea, you two should coordinate closely behind the scenes. I'll just provide the funding, and I'll leave the rest to you both," Qian Youlai said with a hearty laugh. Truth be told, Chen Fang and Yue Mi made a handsome and talented pair, quite pleasing to the eye when placed together.

Just as Chen Fang was about to decline, Yue Mi suddenly spoke up.
"Alright, Uncle Qian."

Chen Fang turned his head in astonishment.
No other emotion or color could be read within Yue Mi's azure eyes, leaving Chen Fang with a nagging doubt: Could this woman actually have taken a liking to him?
