Pan-fried steak, roasted asparagus, and beautiful calves.

As Liu Shishi descended the stairs, Wang Weili's gaze swept over her shapely legs beneath her white skirt, feeling as if his eyes and mouth were fully satisfied.

"What are you looking at?"

Liu Shishi stood at the top of the stairs, hands on her hips, and questioned him.

She had just come out of the bath, and there was still a wisp of steam rising from her hair.

Her already slender body appeared even more delicate in the stairwell lights.

Wang Weili glanced upstairs: "Did you clean the shower filter after you showered?"

"what?"

Liu Shishi's momentum crumbled. She thought to herself that although it's a man's habit to change the subject when he's caught, this topic change was too abrupt.

Wang Weili, head down, cut his steak and said, "Your hair is quite long; if you don't clean the filter regularly, it will get clogged very quickly."

"...If it's clogged, call a plumber. Don't treat me like a laborer!"

Liu Shishi reaffirmed her status and prepared to come over for her dinner.

"Ding ding ding!"

Liu Shishi stopped and looked up at Wang Weili, who was tapping an empty glass.

Wang Weili slowly swallowed his steak and said, "The steak is delicious! I don't think you're the type to cause trouble. Do you really want a plumber to come?"

This kid is threatening me again! Every time we eat, he has to yell, "What's wrong with you?"

Liu Shishi clenched her fists, but when you're under someone else's roof, you have to bow your head.

"I'll clean up after I finish eating."

"Okay, Sister Shi, could you please bring a bottle of red wine over? The wine cabinet is next to the stairs."

Wang Weili pointed to the standing wine cabinet next to the stairwell and told Liu Shishi where the bottle of red wine he wanted to drink was.

Although she felt something was off, Liu Shishi still went over and took it, just curious that none of the red wines in the cabinet had labels.

"for you."

After placing the red wine on the table, Liu Shishi pulled out a chair to prepare for the meal.

Before I could even sit down, Wang Weili's annoying voice came over again.

"Both my hands are occupied right now, Sister Shi, could you please open the wine bottle?"

"you……"

"Please, you'd like to have a drink too, right?"

"..."

Liu Shishi glared at him through gritted teeth, while Wang Weili looked back with a pleading expression.

Ultimately, the stalemate ended when the one whose eye acting wasn't up to par couldn't hold on any longer.

With a pop, Liu Shishi pulled out the cork and said irritably, "Should I pour the red wine into the decanter again?"

"Let it breathe in the glass, a third of it, thank you."

Wang Weili pushed the wine glass towards Liu Shishi, truly treating her like a waitress.

Liu Shishi stood there, her face alternating between pale and flushed, and she had the urge to pour the entire bottle of red wine over Wang Weili's head...

"Sister Shi, have you considered the possibility of another outcome last night?"

To prevent Liu Shishi from exploding, Wang Weili steered the conversation back a little to divert her attention.

Liu Shishi was taken aback for a moment: "Hmph! What other outcome can there be? It'll just be finishing the drinks and Sister K taking me home."

"Then why did you go to a hotel?"

"What's it to you?"

"Business drinking parties usually have a clear purpose. If the two sides don't reach an agreement, drinking more alcohol won't make much difference. Why do you think that finishing the drinks will allow you to go home?"

Wang Weili didn't spell it out, but simply gave Liu Shishi a little light, guiding her to think for herself.

Liu Shishi remained silent, recalling that Sister K had organized the drinking party last night in order to help that CEO Liu smooth things over with the approval of "Ballad of the Desert".

Throughout the entire process, it seemed that Mr. Liu didn't express any intention to help. If she had been drunk at the time, and the other party had taken the opportunity to make some demands, would Ms. K have...?

Upon reaching this point in the logical deduction, Liu Shishi shuddered as if she were being stared at by a venomous snake.

"Don't you dare give this bottle of wine away!"

Wang Weili's tense voice brought Liu Shishi back to her senses.

She held the wine bottle and poured wine into the stemmed glass, not following the so-called one-third rule, and only stopped when Wang Weili told her to.

Wang Weili glanced at Liu Shishi, who was preoccupied with her own thoughts, and refrained from further provoking or guiding her. He then slowly swirled the wine in his glass to sober up.

The crimson wine, under the light, has the texture of bloodstone.

The glass was more than two-thirds full of red wine, and no matter how much I swirled it, not a single drop spilled; it was all under my control.

……

"I'm fine. That rumor was just made up by paparazzi. The company will clarify it in a few days."

Liu Shishi sat on the second-floor stairwell and sent a message to her concerned parents to let them know she was safe.

She selectively responded to inquiries from some friends in the industry.

When she clicked on the friend whose nickname was "(Fourth Master)", Liu Shishi hesitated for a moment and replied that it was nothing.

Then, the other party replied instantly, sending a long message, clearly wanting to expand the conversation.

However, Liu Shishi had no time to pay attention to it at the moment, and simply sent a message saying that she was going to take a shower and then stopped chatting.

She stayed up most night and squatted at the top of the stairs to keep an eye on Wang Weili below!

After dinner, Wang Weili said he had to meet some guests and hoped Liu Shishi could go upstairs and stay there without disturbing them.

Faced with such a request, Liu Shishi subconsciously felt that Wang Weili wanted to meet with other agencies in the industry to prepare for the termination of his contract.

As the top female sugar connoisseur, although she had some reservations about Cai Yinong's organization of the gathering last night, Liu Shishi felt it was necessary to defend the company's important newcomer.

So she turned the dramatic scene into reality and secretly started eavesdropping.

To avoid her nearsightedness becoming an obstacle, Liu Shishi found a pair of binoculars in a storage box on the second floor. They were a bit small, like they were for a child.

Now, within her sights, Wang Weili is bringing two young people into the studio.

These two people look so young!

Moreover, he was a bit reserved, completely lacking the flamboyant feel of people in the entertainment industry; instead, he seemed more like a programmer…

"Hello, Dawei, and Cai Mi too!"

Wang Weili shook hands with Liu Wei generously, but punched Cai Haoyu in the face.

Seeing this, Cai Haoyu chuckled and responded with a fist bump.

The three arrived at the reception area, and Wang Weili sat down behind the table opposite Liu Wei and Cai Haoyu.

Considering that everyone is a graduate of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, and that Wang Weili has been busy filming last year and Liu Wei and Cai Haoyu have been busy founding miHoYo, the three of them exchanged pleasantries as soon as they sat down.

Wang Weili chatted with them about campus life, shared his experiences in the entertainment industry, and inquired about miHoYo's recent activities.

He chose to attend Jiaotong University after finishing his college entrance exams, with the aim of getting on board with miHoYo.

Looking back at the history of mobile internet development since 08, there are very few truly successful grassroots startups; the vast majority are veterans from the PC era starting their own businesses again.

These people have long established their own circles, and venture capital has become a system, making it impossible for outsiders' money to get in.

Only miHoYo has only received one round of financing since its establishment, has a clear equity structure, and its founders are all graduates of Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

If Wang Weili wants to get a piece of the mobile internet pie, entering Shanghai Jiao Tong University is the best choice. Even if he awakens the system midway and prepares to take the path of role-playing, it will not prevent him from becoming a billionaire.

"OK, let's get down to business!"

Wang Weili announced the end of the pleasantries, and Liu Wei and Cai Haoyu also cast eager and expectant glances at him.

Wang Weili nodded in response and said, "We still need to go through the procedures we just completed. Did you bring the CIB and other relevant documents?"

"CIB?"

Cai Haoyu looked at Wang Weili with a blank expression, then looked at Liu Wei, who shook his head at him, and then looked at Wang Weili as well.

Wang Weili explained, "It's the equity structure table, the financing presentation documents, and the business plan—these three types of documents, plus other personnel introductions, asset valuations… You didn't bring any of them?"

"Um, I thought we were just here to talk about company plans and see how much money you're prepared to invest."

Cai Haoyu touched his ear, expressing his unease about the situation spiraling out of control.

Liu Wei touched his nose sheepishly; he was clearly aware of these things, but unprepared.

Wang Weili smacked his cheeks, his gaze shifting back and forth between them as if he were looking at two clueless newbies.

Okay, they are indeed just starting out, and their company hasn't even left campus yet.
