As she turned her head, Qin Huaixin had already taken a seat opposite her, following her line of sight towards the direction of the private room, "Who were you just looking at?"

"Nobody, just someone I’ve seen before."

"Oh, did you come back today?"

"Yesterday afternoon. You order first, I’ve already decided what I want." Zhuang Shuqing handed the menu to her and then fell into deep thought.

Qin Huaixin muttered softly while browsing the menu, "I think I just saw Tan Biyang. She was wearing sunglasses, but her air of superiority was unmistakable. By the way, did anything happen on your way back today?"

It was only then that Zhuang Shuqing snapped out of her thoughts, "I’m afraid I’ll have to change jobs. You already knew about this when you called me last time, right?"

Qin Huaixin didn’t answer, instead, she called the waiter over to order, then slowly turned to her, "I guessed from the entertainment news, but I didn’t expect your editor-in-chief to act so hastily."

"You should have told me first."

"Are you stupid? The thing has already happened, why would I tell you in advance just to add to your troubles? I’m your best friend, not your enemy."

Seeing Qin Huaixin getting worked up, Zhuang Shuqing couldn’t help but laugh out loud, "Got it, my bestie."

Qin Huaixin glared at her, "Things are like this, and you still can laugh."

"What, should I cry instead? It’s just changing jobs."

In the middle of their conversation, the waiter served Zhuang Shuqing’s pasta, and Qin Huaixin, watching her eat with gusto as always, couldn’t help but feel pained for her.

"Shuqing, there must be someone backing Tan Biyang. She’s here right now, shall we go dig up her secrets?"

Just as the waiter brought over Qin Huaixin’s steak, Zhuang Shuqing immediately replied, "Eat your food, there’s no rush. I have my own plans."

Qin Huaixin gave her a look but didn’t say anything.

After paying the bill, Qin Huaixin said to her, "I have to head back to the office later. My dad’s not in today, if you’ve got nowhere to go, do you want to come back to the office with me?"

"No, I will walk around nearby and then go home."

"Alright then, if you haven’t gone home by the time I finish work, call me and I’ll come to pick you up."

"Okay."

After Qin Huaixin left, Zhuang Shuqing planned to browse the mall. As she turned around, she bumped unexpectedly into someone’s arms. The person seemed caught off guard, stumbled, and ended up embracing her tightly.

Before she could react, a familiar voice with a hint of disdain sounded at her side, "Are young girls nowadays so skilled at throwing themselves into someone’s arms?"

Zhuang Shuqing quickly pushed away from the embrace, murmured an apology without looking at the man, then turned her head towards the woman who had just spoken and immediately smiled.

"Isn’t this the Actress Tan Biyang?"

Tan Biyang apparently did not expect to be recognized and was at a loss for how to react.

Zhuang Shuqing continued, "It seems the rumors are true that you’ve been blacklisted recently, and moreover, you can’t even resist meddling in things happening on the street."

At those words, the man standing by who hadn’t said a word slightly raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhuang Shuqing. Although he hadn’t intended to get involved, he now took a step back, looking on with interest.

Tan Biyang: "It’s you!"

Just now, she had only seen a figure and hadn’t paid attention to what the woman looked like. When she looked up, she saw the woman who had emerged from the presidential suite that night standing right in front of her.

Tan Biyang panicked inwardly, subconsciously stepping to the side, and only when she saw Zhuang Shuqing’s back towards the man did she slowly let out a sigh of relief.

The thought of showing off using this man disappeared in an instant.
