A tow truck arrived at the Qin Corporation's parking lot. As usual, a driver hopped out and leisurely towed away a luxury business vehicle.

Many people saw this, but no one paid it any attention.

...

After leaving Qin Qiu's office, Chen Yang didn't go straight home but headed to the sales department instead.

Since it was the weekend, the vast office was deserted.

Chen Yang sat at his desk fiddling with his phone, waiting for Qin Qiu to get off work so he could go home with her.

However, after a short while, Chen Yang suddenly heard a noise.

Hm?

Chen Yang looked toward Zhou Yufei's private office; the sound was coming from inside.

Puzzled, Chen Yang stood up and walked over.

As he pushed open the office door, he saw Zhou Yufei, who was sitting at her desk, turn to look at him.

"What are you doing here?"

They both blurted out the same question at the same time.

"I'm here to handle something for my wife," Chen Yang said, looking slightly awkward.

Zhou Yufei stood up, her gaze filled with a trace of resentment. "I'm single, so I was bored at home. I decided to come to the company and organize some client files."

The implication was clear: since she had no one to keep her company, what difference did it make where she was?

How could he not understand what she meant?

"Oh." Chen Yang nodded. "If there's nothing else, you should head back early," he said as he started walking out.

However, Zhou Yufei dashed over, stretching her arms out to block his path. She pouted, "There's nobody else here, so what's the rush to leave?"

"It's awkward precisely because there's nobody else here," Chen Yang said bluntly.

"What's so awkward about..." Before she could finish, Zhou Yufei realized her words were inappropriate. She turned her head slightly, two blushes appearing on her cheeks.

"What are you thinking about?" Chen Yang said, exasperated.

Zhou Yufei rolled her eyes. "Who knows what *you're* thinking."

"By the way, you promised to go to the movies with me last time," Zhou Yufei said suddenly.

Chen Yang was clearly startled. "Did I?"

"Of course you did!" Zhou Yufei said arrogantly, a confrontational look on her face. "It was right here in my office, before you went to Tianque City. Don't even think about denying it!"

"Er..."

Chen Yang remembered, but he quickly realized something was wrong. "I only agreed because you said you wouldn't go to Tianque City with me."

"Exactly. You agreed."

Chen Yang was speechless.

"What, are you trying to back out now?"

With a dark expression, Chen Yang said, "But you *did* go to Tianque City with me."

"Did you take me? No. I went on my own, thanks to my thick skin and brilliant intellect," she retorted.

Chen Yang was at a loss for words.

How could this woman be so unbelievably unreasonable?

Seeing Zhou Yufei's smug, pouting expression, Chen Yang felt an urge to strangle her.

Does she have no shame?

This is simply outrageous!

Then, Zhou Yufei quickly pulled out two movie tickets and waved them in front of him. "Eight o'clock tonight. Zero Degree Cinema in the West Suburb."

"Don't worry," she said, playfully sticking out her tongue. "It's a very secluded and niche couples' cinema. They have private rooms for two, so we won't run into anyone we know."

Having no other choice, Chen Yang could only nod in agreement. After all, it was his own oversight that allowed her to exploit this loophole.

Zhou Yufei's eyes lit up with joy. "Eight tonight. See you there."

With that, she grabbed her bag and walked out.

He shook his head and sighed to himself. With his personality, once he decided against something, he would never have gone. Ultimately, though, he'd been moved by pity. Alas…

Chen Yang walked out of her office and sat at his own desk, shaking his head. Continuing like this was not an option. Sooner or later, it would cause serious trouble.

He wasn't a god; he was a flesh-and-blood man with emotions and desires.

So, is there a way to handle this without hurting anyone?

While Chen Yang was deep in thought, his phone rang. It was Qin Qiu.

"Honey, I'm waiting for you in the sales department. Are you off work?"

"Xiaomo called a moment ago," Qin Qiu said, "but the call disconnected right after I answered. Now I can't reach her. I don't know if her phone died or what, but could you please go check on her?"

Worry tinged her voice. "She had an interview today at a music company called Star Dream. Please go there and look for her."

"Alright," Chen Yang said as he stood up and headed out. "Honey, it's the weekend. Don't work too late. Go home and get some rest."

"I know. Now, hurry up and go."

「Star Dream Music.」

Chen Yang was familiar with the route, having just been here for Qin Mo not long ago.

He had an inherent dislike for entertainment companies like this one. To describe them as cesspools wasn't an exaggeration. He felt this way because he once heard the entertainment industry was very lucrative, so he had Yang Hu invest in a company. If it could turn a quick profit, that would have been great.

But as the business went on, its darker aspects gradually came to light.

It was fair to say that people in this circle would stop at nothing for their own gain.

Chen Yang shook his head, pushing the thoughts aside as he walked straight toward the music company.

「At the same time.」

Inside the Star Dream Entertainment Company, seven girls stood in a line within a huge photography studio.

Each of them was tall and pretty, and each had her own unique appeal.

At the moment, some looked excited, some were frowning hesitantly, and others had grim expressions, seething with anger.

And Qin Mo was one of the angry ones.

In front of them sat a row of middle-aged men, the judges for the audition. One of them, a sleazy bald man, spoke coldly, "You have all just signed contracts with Star Dream. It is written in black and white that you must cooperate unconditionally with all company arrangements."

"And right now, the company requires you to take off your clothes. Why are you not complying immediately?"

As he spoke, the bald man shot a pointed glare at Qin Mo. "Shy? Heh... You'll soon learn that shame is the most useless thing in the world!"

"Execute the order now!"
