Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

The setting sun shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing the studio in a golden glow.

The sound of keyboard typing gradually subsided, and people who had been tense all day finally felt a sense of relaxation.

Just then, Lin Muxi's phone rang at an inopportune moment.

She picked up her phone, and the two words "Qin Yao" flashing on the screen made her pause slightly, then a smile spread across her face.

She immediately pressed the answer button.

"XiXi!!!"

The next second, Qin Yao's voice exploded in her ear.

Lin Muxi subconsciously moved her phone a little further away and rubbed her ears, which were itchy from the vibration.

"Yaoyao, shouldn't you be sleeping at this time?"

She glanced at the time on the screen; it was a little past six.

This time in China is exactly 2 or 3 a.m. abroad.

Given Qin Yao's lazy personality—"never getting up early unless absolutely necessary, and never sitting if she can lie down"—this time of day should be when she is sleeping the most soundly.

"Sleep?! Nothing is more important than your business!"

Qin Yao shouted confidently on the other end of the line, her tone carrying a hint of barely perceptible excitement.

"I heard that our 'Fantasy Studio' has signed a cooperation agreement with Mingqi Technology?!"

Lin Muxi looked up at the bustling traffic outside the window, her voice carrying a hint of a smile:
"Yes, it's signed. Yan Zihao was the one who made the connection; he has quite a few connections in this area."

"Yan Zihao?" Qin Yao's voice suddenly rose, filled with disbelief and a hint of... disdain? "That good-for-nothing 'second-generation rich kid' who only knows how to ride motorcycles and go to bars all day long?"

She emphasized the words "second-generation rich kid," her tone filled with suspicion.
"Xixi, how did you manage to get him to act as a go-between? Is it reliable to get resources introduced by someone like him? What if you end up not only losing money but also getting scammed!"

It's no wonder Qin Yao thought that way. Mainly, Yan Zihao's original portrayal of a spoiled brat was too successful.

It's impossible to believe he's changed in such a short time.

Lin Muxi had anticipated Qin Yao's reaction and patiently explained:
“Yaoyao, that’s prejudice. Although Zihao may seem… well, a bit cynical, he’s very reliable when it comes to serious matters. He has a keen eye and his network is exactly what we need right now.”

He played a significant role in facilitating this collaboration with Mingqi Technology, contributing greatly in the process.

"Tch, what prejudice? I think he's just a spoiled brat who got lucky!"

Qin Yao clearly didn't believe it, her tone still carrying a hint of disdain.

"Anyway, you guys be careful! I've heard a bit about Mingqi Technology; their boss is no pushover, he's incredibly shrewd. Don't let your little studio get eaten up completely!"

"Don't worry, we know what's going on."

Lin Muxi comforted her, knowing that Qin Yao was just worried and confused.

“Zihao and Chen Chen aren’t stupid. We’ve carefully studied the contract terms, and they’re very favorable to us. Besides, we’re only responsible for the initial sample production, so there’s still a lot of room for negotiation later.”

"So that's it."

Hearing Lin Muxi say this, Qin Yao finally felt relieved.

But soon, she let out a wail.
"I really want to go back to China and work hard with you all."

Qin Yao's voice was filled with genuine longing and a hint of barely perceptible melancholy:

"You have no idea how boring I am! Every day I'm either in class, in the library, or dealing with endless gallery openings and parties."

Everyone around me is either discussing which brand's newest bag or bragging about which sea area their yacht has sailed to. I'm so tired of hearing it! (End of Chapter)
