Chapter 55 Charity Gala
When Meng Weiyuan heard the voice, he chuckled softly, "Still not up?"

Yuska suddenly looked up, took the phone away from her ear, and glanced at the name displayed on the call screen. She exclaimed, "Ah, no, I've already gotten up. I just accidentally fell asleep again..."

Yuska spoke those last words with a hint of uncertainty.

Just because she's asleep doesn't mean she hasn't been awake since last night, right?

Soon, Yustia heard a soft laugh beside her ear.

The sound seemed to travel along with an electric current, stimulating her eardrums and somewhat disturbing her mind.

“After being out for more than half a month, it’s easy to get tired. Take a good rest.” Meng Weiyuan’s voice came from the other end.

These words immediately calmed down the little lion, who was almost furious just now, and made him feel strangely calm.

"Oh." Yustia nodded obediently. "Then why aren't you getting some rest?" She glanced at the time. "You haven't been busy since this morning, have you?"

A smile appeared in Meng Weiyuan's eyes. You Sijia guessed correctly; he had indeed been busy since morning. Even his lunch was brought in from outside by his secretary, and he only ate a few bites.

"No, not really," Meng Weiyuan said. He had also drunk water and eaten, so he wasn't exactly busy until now. "I was a bit busy this afternoon, which is why I didn't see your message."

Yusjia said "Oh" again, then picked up her phone, unsure of what to say.

When she was with Meng Weiyuan before, they didn't talk much. In the last few days, they did more than they talked. But now, You Sijia didn't want to hang up the phone like that.

Meng Weiyuan seemed to sense her thoughts and asked proactively, "How was your work today?"

It took Yu Sijia two seconds to realize that Meng Weiyuan was referring to her updating comics on the comic website. She couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Didn't you see it yourself?"

“No,” Meng Weiyuan said. “May I see it?” he asked.

He believed that this was both Yuska's job and her privacy, and he would not pry into her work and privacy without her consent.

Yu Sijia was somewhat surprised, yet Meng Weiyuan's actions were also within her expectations.

After thinking about it, especially when Yu Sijia thought about the name of her new work, she felt that Meng Weiyuan shouldn't see this. Otherwise, who knows how proud he might feel inside.

“Then you’re not allowed to look,” Yustia said.

Meng Weiyuan didn't ask why, he just nodded, "Okay."

When Yu Sijia heard that he agreed so quickly, and that Meng Weiyuan had helped her with the previous contract, her current request seemed a bit like "using someone and then discarding them" or "crossing the river and then burning the bridge."
"I'll show you after I finish drawing, but you can't peek in the middle," Yuska said matter-of-factly and domineeringly.

Meng Weiyuan hummed in agreement. "Okay, I promise."

After ending her call with Meng Weiyuan, You Sijia rubbed her eyes and logged onto the website.

She signed a contract with the comic book publisher the night before last, uploaded some of her drafts yesterday, and also told her few fans on Weibo that she would be updating on a different platform.

The comic book homepage features a list of newly signed authors, each receiving a certain amount of exposure. Whether an author can capture homepage traffic depends entirely on the appeal of their work.

Yu Sijia had been told by an editor that her current subject matter and style weren't mainstream and might not have a large audience. However, the fans attracted by her niche style were mostly die-hard supporters, so we'll have to wait and see how it goes.

Surprisingly, when I checked her backend, the response to her work published yesterday was quite good. In particular, the part about going to Neuschwanstein Castle attracted quite a few readers.

"So sweet! It reminds me of when I was in college, I asked my boyfriend to carry me up to the stands, and that bastard just threw me over! Damn it, I don't even weigh 100 pounds!"

"Followed! It's a new artist! I've never seen this art style before, it's so cute."

"I understand you, sister upstairs. My dog ​​is the same way. He even said I was fat? Good heavens, if a man can't even lift or carry his girlfriend, shouldn't he reflect on how weak he is? Don't blame everything on girls, okay?"

"Reading these slice-of-life comics is so therapeutic! Please update more, ma'am!"

Yusijia looked at the comments in the backstage and couldn't help but smile.

Manhui truly lives up to its reputation as a leader in domestic comics. With the help of this platform, its exposure has skyrocketed, and even You Sijia's Weibo account has suddenly gained a lot of followers.

Yusjia read every comment carefully. Overjoyed, she picked up her drawing tablet and became even more motivated, sketching the fireworks display that had illuminated the entire southern city the previous night.

In early November, there will be a charity gala in the southern part of the city.

Yu Kui-ching went to Hong Kong to meet a client, and Yu Szu-chia and Jiang Ling-yu attended together.

The focus of these charity galas is still on the socializing of young ladies and wives.

Tonight, Yusjia changed into a dark purple fitted dress, a piece from Armani's runway show this year, looking both ethereal and aloof. Her long, curly hair was all pulled back into an updo, revealing her smooth, full head.

When Jiang Lingyu saw her, he couldn't help but glance at You Sijia's chest.

"Where are you looking!" Yusjia keenly noticed Jiang Lingyu's gaze and glared at the person next to her with her round almond eyes.

Today, Jiang Lingyu and You Sijia looked like two gothic sisters. She wore a tight black dress and a small hat, and her smoky makeup made her look even more unapproachable than usual.

However, when facing You Sijia, Jiang Lingyu grinned without any attempt to hide it. Just as she was about to say something, she caught a glimpse of a couple walking hand in hand in her peripheral vision. She suddenly stopped and didn't say anything to tease You Sijia.

You Sijia thought she had changed her mind, but when she turned around following Jiang Lingyu's gaze, she saw Jiang Lingyu's second brother, Zhou Qichun, standing beside him.

Recently, Jiang Lingyu's life has become even more exciting than You Sijia's.

After returning to China from New York two months ago, Jiang Lingyu joined Kotei Pharmaceuticals. Even if Jiang Lingyu didn't publicize it, since they are all people in the same circle, her presence at Kotei Pharmaceuticals was already quite eye-catching, and it was impossible for no one to talk about it.

Jiang Lingyu's family naturally learned of this news, but when they tried to find her, she had already moved out of the house.

Jiang Lingyu owns quite a few houses, but she currently lives in a small apartment. Apart from You Sijia, no one knows her, and the Jiang family has been unable to locate her.

However, Jiang Lingyu was caught twice.

Yu Sijia knows that Jiang Lingyu has fallen out with her family, but she hasn't had a proper talk with Jiang Lingyu since she just returned from abroad, so she doesn't know the specifics.

But now, Yu Sijia clearly felt a gaze on her. She couldn't help but look in the direction the gaze came from, and then she met the eyes of Zhou Qichun, who was next to Wei Mingshu.
