Just then, the waiter came over with the dishes, interrupting the somewhat serious atmosphere of the conversation.

The fragrant dishes were quickly placed on the table one by one.

"Let's eat first, we can chat while we eat." Jiang Che tried to calm himself down and invited Chen Fei to start eating.

She ordered all of the restaurant's signature dishes, clearly not intending to skimp on hospitality.

Just then, a WeChat group notification popped up at the top of Chen Fei's phone screen.

It's a small group chat between Shen Shaoting, Lin Jingyi, and him.

Because she had just been showing Jiang Che the shop, she also saw the group name "Fei Ge is so handsome".

With her mood relaxed, a bit of curiosity arose in her, and she casually asked with a smile, "What kind of group is this? The name is quite interesting, can I take a look?"

Chen Fei smiled and casually replied, "This is a small group chat between me and two friends. We just chat randomly."

As he spoke, he casually opened the group chat interface.

What came into view were several photos that Shen Shaoting had just posted.

The background looks like a lively, bustling mala tang (spicy hot pot) shop.

In the photo, Shen Shaoting, Lin Jingyi, and Meng Sixian are leaning their heads together, smiling brightly at the camera.

Shen Shaoting and Lin Jingyi both flashed the classic peace sign, radiating energy, and their makeup was much more refined than usual.

Meng Sixian, who is usually a little reserved in the store, seemed to relax a lot under the influence of Shen Shaoting and the other person, and showed a carefree and happy smile.

The warm-toned filter filled the whole scene with warmth and joy.

"Wow," Jiang Che leaned closer, looking at the photo with a hint of amazement, "Wow, Chen Fei, you're really lucky. All the girls you know are so beautiful, and they all have different styles."

Her gaze lingered on Shen Shaoting's face for a second longer, finding the girl to have an inexplicable coolness.

Chen Fei didn't say anything, picked up his phone, and quickly tapped on the screen: "Not bad, you guys got along so quickly. The selfies are pretty, very beautiful."

After sending the message, he put down his phone and reluctantly explained to Jiang Che, "We're friends, it's normal to send each other selfies."

Jiang Che didn't ask any more questions, and the two started eating. The food was indeed worth the price.

During the meal, Chen Fei steered the conversation back to business: "Don't rush to make a decision about what I just said; you need time to process it. I'll compile it into a detailed document and send it to you later. You can study it for a few days, and then we'll discuss it further."

Jiang Che nodded quickly, feeling even more grateful: "Okay, thank you so much, you've really helped me a lot."

After saying that, she felt that her gratitude was not enough, and that she seemed to have gotten a great deal by cooperating with Chen Fei.

As she pondered how to repay him, she remembered the three girls in the photo, and a thought struck her. She asked:

"By the way, were those three in the photo... 'energetic young women'?"

She asked the question carefully, trying to avoid making her tone sound derogatory.

Chen Fei nodded frankly: "Those two who are making peace signs are right. They're not bad people, and they're quite loyal."

Jiang Che seemed to have made up his mind, and said:

"After listening to what you said, I feel that it's time to make some changes. I'm going to adjust the shooting plan for the new winter products and find some models to help. They don't necessarily have to be professional models; more natural ones would be better."

If your friends are interested, they can give it a try. You get 50 yuan for a photoshoot of one outfit. How about it? Consider it a part-time job.

Chen Fei was somewhat surprised by her decisiveness: "You decided so quickly? Changing models is a big deal. Also, they have some tattoos on their arms and collarbones, is that okay?"

"In winter, they all wear long sleeves and turtlenecks, and with down jackets covering them up, you can barely see them." Jiang Che had clearly considered this issue. "The main thing is that they have a kind of energy that's very infectious, and most importantly..."

She sighed, a weary, bitter smile on her face. "I do need to slow down a bit. This is the first time in my life I've felt so exhausted I feel like I'm about to die. I need to catch my breath."

"Okay, I'll go back and ask them what they think." Chen Fei agreed, feeling that this was indeed a good part-time opportunity, easy for Shen Shaoting and the others, and they could earn some pocket money.

The meal drew to a close in a harmonious atmosphere.

Jiang Che called over the waiter and ordered two more dishes, which were then neatly packed away.

Watching her practiced movements, Chen Fei asked, "Is this for the employees?"

"Yeah," Jiang Che nodded, "Even though I was paid overtime, I still feel a little bad about being busy so late. Bringing some late-night snacks home is just a small token of my appreciation."

Chen Fei couldn't help but sigh, "You're a really good boss. It makes me not want to start my own business anymore; I might as well work for you."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Che looked up at him, thinking that with Chen Fei's abilities, if he really joined her company, he would at least be a partner.

She tilted her head, her tone slightly probing, "If you come here, are you just content to be my employee?"

Chen Fei was taken aback by her question, then replied jokingly, "If you want me to be your boyfriend and live off you, I don't mind."

I thought Jiang Che would show some shyness after hearing this.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Che's reaction was completely beyond his expectations.

She didn't blush, wasn't shy, and didn't shy away in any way.

Instead, he leaned back easily, looking directly at Chen Fei with clear eyes and a knowing smile on his face.

"Okay, I think this suggestion is good," she said, counting on her fingers with an air of importance. "First, it can help me avoid some unnecessary trouble. Otherwise, there are always people trying to pursue me, and my family is always making me go on blind dates."

As she spoke, the cunning in her eyes almost overflowed, as if she had made a very profitable deal.

"Secondly, if you become my boyfriend, can I ask you questions anytime, anywhere? And you probably wouldn't feel comfortable accepting money from your girlfriend, right? So, it seems like I'm actually making a profit."

Chen Fei was genuinely surprised that Jiang Che would respond so decisively, even turning the tables on him.

He reacted quickly, laughing it off and steer the conversation back on track: "Let's talk about it after this collaboration! What if I'm just all talk and no action? You'd be at a huge disadvantage then!"

Jiang Che laughed, and the atmosphere became relaxed again.

The two discussed some details of their future collaboration before saying goodbye at the restaurant entrance.

Jiang Che's figure, carrying a takeout bag, walked towards the creative park building, appearing thin yet resolute in the night.

Chen Fei was standing by the roadside, preparing to call a taxi home to rest when the WeChat group called "Brother Fei is So Handsome" became active again, with message notifications ringing one after another.

He clicked on it and saw a noisy short video and several voice messages sent by Shen Shaoting.

The video features psychedelic lighting and powerful music, clearly set in a bar booth.

Shen Shaoting excitedly shouted at the camera, "Brother Fei! Look who we brought to see the world! It's Sister Sixian! Come quick, it's so lively!"

Chen Fei's brows furrowed instantly.

Meng Sixian? A bar?
