Huayu: We're asking you to act, and you're playing a superhuman?

Reba quietly sniffed the pomegranate scent in the private room.

This smells like her hometown.

In the past, Dilraba's attention would have been drawn to it long ago, but today, her eyes remained fixed on Yang Mi.

She could see the alluring curves of Yang Mi's body as she unconsciously swayed her waist, and she also noticed the seductive gesture of Yang Mi licking the corner of her lips from time to time.

All these actions, driven by hormones, were because of Wang Weili sitting opposite him.

He wore a black vest and a knitted hat. None of his clothes had any brand logos, yet they fit him perfectly and were comfortable, making him look relaxed and at ease.

This wasn't the first time Reba had seen Yang Mi eating with a man, but Yang Mi isn't usually the type to get easily agitated, so it's unclear what's wrong with her today.

While paying attention to Yang Mi, Dilraba was also keeping an eye on Wang Weili.

After finishing the last sip of mushroom soup, Wang Weili elegantly wiped his mouth and suddenly looked up at them.

"Honey, how was the meal? Is it hot? Would you like anything else?"

"I don't need it anymore."

Reba quickly turned her head and waved her hand, indicating that she was just an accessory and did not need to be paid too much attention.

Yang Mi withdrew her gaze from her sideways and turned to Wang Weili, saying, "You want to end this so soon?"

"Aren't you busy filming Tiny Times? Dilraba should also get back to school as soon as possible."

Wang Weili smiled and nodded at Reba.

According to Yang Mi, this meal was originally not supposed to involve anything special.

However, Wang Weili felt it would be strange to eat alone with Yang Mi, so he invited Reba along.

Seeing Wang Weili's gaze, not daring to spoil the eldest sister's mood, she quickly said that she was not in a hurry to go back to school.

Yang Mi smiled smugly: "She's not in a hurry to leave, and I haven't eaten yet either. You're not thinking of abandoning us and leaving alone, are you?"

"May I?"

Wang Weili always manages to ask these unexpected questions with a straight face.

Yang Mi's smile froze on her face, and anger flashed in her eyes, but she only pursed her lips in resentment.

"No! Since it's a dinner invitation, we have to wait until the guests have finished eating before we call it a day."

"Oh, please feel free, I've already finished eating."

As he spoke, Wang Weili began to fidget with the napkin on the table, as if studying how to fold it back up.

Is having dinner with me that boring?

Yang Mi clenched her teeth, feeling a tightness in her chest that she couldn't release.

If it were anyone else, even a major investor, she would have already stormed off.

But... seeing Wang Weili folding the napkins more and more seriously, Yang Mi felt that she should say something sooner rather than later.

"Cough cough."

"Um?"

Wang Weili looked up at Yang Mi, thinking of asking her if she wanted some pear syrup.

Dilraba bit her straw, her gaze shifting back and forth between Wang Weili and Yang Mi, then unconsciously scratching her palm with her meticulously manicured nails.

Yang Mi stared intently at Wang Weili and asked, "Are you interested in cooperating with me?"

"Aren't we cooperating now?"

"I mean in the future! You will continue to make TV series and movies, but the return on investment cycle is so long, you can't keep investing in the projects you star in."

"Well, you might as well put it more clearly."

Wang Weili put down his napkin and looked at Yang Mi with great interest.

Yang Mi took a deep breath, suddenly feeling a little afraid to look directly at Wang Weili, but she still stubbornly tensed her muscles, preventing her neck from turning.

"I'd like to formally invite you to join my studio, so we can build a business together!"

Dilraba's mouth was slightly open as she looked at Yang Mi, whose eyes seemed to be burning with fire. She thought to herself that even she could be so nervous and eager for someone's reaction.

"...I feel a little surprised."

Wang Weili carefully controlled his expression to prevent himself from losing control and causing an overly awkward situation.

Yang Mi, however, took it unusually seriously and even brought out a bunch of prepared remarks.

"Instead of going it alone, let's work together! Through our collaboration on Gujian Qitan, I know you are a smart and talented person."

"I think that as long as we work well together... it's not impossible to run the company like Huanrui or Tangren in the future."

"Furthermore, I'm not inviting you by signing you as an artist. I've already discussed it with my partners, and if you're willing to join, we can give you shares."

Wang Weili was a little speechless because she wasn't joking.

Reba was secretly and nervously watching Wang Weili, afraid that he would agree at any moment.

Seeing Yang Mi getting a little anxious and trying to stand up, Wang Weili said first, "Sister Mi, thank you for your high regard, but I still have to refuse you."

Reba instantly relaxed and leaned back in her chair, slowly letting out a long breath. Her long, manicured nails loosened, revealing her red and purple fists.

Yang Mi was stunned and looked over, clearly unconvinced.

"You rejected us without even hearing our terms?"

"Acting is just a part of my life; it's somewhat important, but not that important."

Seeing that Yang Mi still didn't quite understand, Wang Weili continued to explain:

"I don't even have an agent. I choose and arrange all my own work. My only assistant is a human phone and data collector. Do you think I would need the constraints of an agency?"

Yang Mi understood, but was a little unwilling.

"A talent agency isn't all about constraints; we can provide you with suitable resources..."

"Honey, if we keep talking like this, things will get awkward."

Wang Weili raised his hand to stop Yang Mi, not wanting to make the situation too ugly.

Considering that he had previously used her to win the business battle with Hangzhou Express, and these two assignments, Wang Weili steered the conversation back a little.

"If you have any ideas about your career, feel free to share them, and I'll offer some advice within my capabilities."

"Um……"

Yang Mi frowned and pondered Wang Weili's words.

While she was naturally displeased that her suggestion was rejected, Yang Mi wasn't particularly surprised, considering Wang Weili's consistent style.

The reason she reacted so strongly was because of the unspeakable feelings she had in her heart.

However, Yang Mi is, after all, in the entertainment industry.

For her, personal feelings still have to give way to work and career.

Having made up her mind, Yang Mi asked with a serious expression, "If I wanted to make a name for myself in the entertainment industry, what advice would you give me?"

No one knows the answer to this question better than you.

Wang Weili spoke in a gentle tone and with a sincere look in his eyes, uttering a seemingly pointless statement.

According to his understanding, Yang Mi will still resort to the gambling agreement system in the future.

Without the constraints of family, she will only work even harder at acting, and she will naturally be able to fulfill the betting agreement, so there is no need for any good advice.

Yang Mi didn't understand these intricacies; she simply thought: "That brat is trying to fool me again!"

"If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it! Just pretend I didn't ask."

Yang Mi stood up, turned her face away, and walked straight towards the door without even saying goodbye to Dilraba.

Reba hurriedly got up, gave Wang Weili an apologetic smile, and followed Yang Mi with a sense of joy in her heart.

Just as Yang Mi grasped the doorknob, preparing to push the door open and leave, Wang Weili's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Sister Honey, if you truly want to succeed, I believe you already have a sense of certainty in your heart!"

Yang Mi's body trembled, and she froze on the spot, stunned for a few seconds.

Reba curled her lip, thinking to herself: What's so special about this? It's just a motivational quote.

The door opened, and Yang Mi walked forward with her head held high, casually tossing out a reply.

"I'd much rather work with you!"
