"Me?" Jian Yichen looked down at his hands, gave a self-deprecating laugh, "Actually, there’s nothing much to say, just blaming my youthful arrogance and poor judgement of character." In such a setting and atmosphere, Jian Yichen could have shared his experiences with the Shuangshi couple, but he chose not to. He neither spoke of the villain’s evils nor his own sufferings; restrained and dignified, which most people couldn’t achieve. Thus, Shi Lan became even more certain of Yan Shixiu’s discernment; to earn his approval, one must be quite exceptional in certain respects. Therefore, Shi Lan did not pry further, and the matter was considered closed. During the meal, they discussed many aspects of cinema, touching on some insights into the film industry. Jian Yichen had to admit, although the girl in front of him was young, her views on the whole industry were clear and rational. Whether it was about establishing Diamond Film or planning to produce a movie, she wasn’t just talking air; she had a complete set of operational steps.

Throughout the meal, the group enjoyed engaging conversations, and soon it was time to leave. Jian Yichen knew that Shi Lan approaching him was a risky gamble, but since others had placed such great trust in him, he certainly wouldn’t let them lose the bet. "I won’t make any promises, I’ll just show you the results when the time comes." In fact, Shi Lan didn’t believe in people’s promises either: "I look forward to your good news." The trio said their goodbyes at the entrance of the private restaurant, when suddenly a woman and a child he didn’t know where they came from ran towards Jian Yichen. Jian Yichen picked up the child and draped his arm around the woman’s shoulders, nodding slightly to the Shuangshi couple across the street. "His wife and daughter?" Shi Lan asked Yan Shixiu. "Yes," Yan Shixiu nodded. "Jian Yichen didn’t want this, the child makes it hard for the adult to focus on work, and his wife...it’s a long story, I’ll tell you on the way," Yan Shixiu took the young lady’s right hand, leading her to the car. "Actually, Jian Yichen comes from a decent family, and his wife has been his childhood sweetheart. Because their relationship was good, they married young. Not long afterwards, Jian Yichen met Zhou Yi, who introduced him to the screenwriting circle. He then began working in Zhou Yi’s team." "At first, Jian Yichen was full of hope, because Zhou Yi always deceived him, saying he would soon make a name for himself in the screenwriting world and could sign his own works, but he always swindled his scripts and marketed them as his own, driving himself crazy with ambition. In fact, several of his acclaimed works came from Jian Yichen." "Later, Jian Yichen saw Zhou Yi’s true nature. He demanded Zhou Yi give him credit, but how could Zhou Yi agree? So, he conspired with his financial backers to ruin the Jian family’s business and even kidnapped Jian Yichen’s wife, indirectly causing his mother-in-law’s death." "Jian Yichen was despondent for a long time, collected evidence everywhere but to no avail, and kept being suppressed by Zhou Yi." "And yet, you still dare to use him." Listening to Jian Yichen’s story on the car, Shi Lan thought that she had been too merciful the night before. And the piece of evidence in her hand... was quite interesting, but now was not the time to reveal it prematurely. Zhou Yi must have thought that she showed him the full version, but according to Miss Shi’s usual way of handling things, holding back a little was definitely what she would do. After all, she was used to retaliation, and Zhou Yi’s days were numbered. "Of course, I dare to use him. Even heaven couldn’t stop me." Miss Shi’s empathic abilities were quite poor, but she knew that Zhou Yi had to be dealt with. "Now that we’ve talked about others’ affairs, isn’t it time to discuss ours?" Yan Shixiu pinched Shi Lan’s waist to remind her of the debt, "I took good care of you last night, and I found the talent you needed. Isn’t it time for the young lady to fulfill her promise?" "What would you do if you were Jian Yichen?" Miss Shi was skilled at changing the subject, to Yan Shixiu’s displeasure.
