Miss Si's feigned innocence went too far, and the aloof Mr. Bo was easily swayed.

After Si Yuan and Gu Yinhe finished editing the video, they handed it directly to the news team.

Whether or not it can be broadcast during prime time on Beijing TV is not something Si Yuan and Gu Yinhe can decide.

7 PM.

Gu Yinhe and Si Yuan sat in front of the computer, waiting for the news to be broadcast.

The news broadcast was almost halfway through, and there was still no information about the global technology exhibition. Gu Yinhe was extremely anxious.

Si Yuan, on the other hand, seemed quite calm.

Seeing Gu Yinhe pacing back and forth, Si Yuan pressed her down into a chair. "Yinhe, you need to learn to be calm, and more importantly, you need to learn to accept that things may not always go as planned."

Gu Yinhe held Si Yuan's hand tightly. "I know... I don't care about myself, but you've put in so much effort, and I don't want your efforts to go to waste."

"For me now, the process is actually more important..."

Si Yuan was already very happy to have such an opportunity.

She gained a lot of unexpected things in the process, which is enough for her at this stage.

As for whether it will make the news.

She would be happier if she went up there.

But she wouldn't feel bad if she couldn't get on.

Gu Yinhe looked at Si Yuan with admiration, "A Yuan, you are the most perfect person I have ever met."

If Lu Xiao really manages to win over A Yuan, then the Lu family will be incredibly lucky.

"Thank you for the compliment, little princess, but I actually have many flaws..."

"Um?"

"I am selfish, self-serving, and only consider my own interests in everything I do, never caring about the life or death of others..."

"No way—"

Gu Yinhe was a little unhappy. "A-Yuan, you're not allowed to talk about yourself like that. In my heart, you are the most innocent, the cutest, the most outstanding, and the most versatile person..."

The third global technology exhibition was held in Beijing...

Upon hearing the host's voice, Si Yuan and Gu Yinhe exchanged a glance.

"Wow……"

Gu Yinhe excitedly grabbed Si Yuan's hand and jumped up, "A Yuan, we did it!"

"Yeah, we're really good."

Gu Yinhe hugged Si Yuan excitedly, then took out her phone to call her parents.

Meng Huaijin was also following the news. After seeing the clips of the technology exhibition, he came out of his office and walked up to Si Yuan.

With a smile of satisfaction on her face, she said, "Ah Yuan, you're amazing. I'm so proud of you."

"Thank you, teacher... This is the result of the joint efforts of Yinhe, the cameraman, and me."

Meng Huaijin nodded and looked at Gu Yinhe, who was standing by the window making a phone call.

She was laughing happily, as if she were showing off to her parents, her face full of pride and smugness.

Meng Huaijin said quietly, "This Miss Gu is much more quick-witted than her older sister."

Before Si Yuan could realize why her teacher had made such a remark, Si Qingwan called.

"teacher……"

Meng Huaijin nodded. "Go ahead."

Si Yuan went to the rest area and answered the phone, "Mother..."

"Ah Yuan, your Aunt Shu Qing and I just saw you on TV. You're amazing, so talented!"

Hearing praise from Si Qingwan is harder than climbing to heaven.

From a young age, Si Yuan longed for Si Qingwan's approval, but no matter how well she did, her mother never praised her.

This is the first time.

Many things I've always wanted, but once I actually got them, they seemed just so-so.

"Thank you, Mother..."

"You've worked hard these past few days. Come home early tonight, and your Aunt Shuqing and I will cook dinner for you ourselves."

Si Yuan was silent for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "Okay."

The past is the past; the present and the future are what matter most.

No matter how strict my mother was with me in the past, no matter how eager she was for quick success, she was still the one who raised me.

She wanted me to be healthy and happy, not to sacrifice everything for the Si family.

This news episode broke the record for the highest viewership rating for Beijing TV in nearly ten years.

In particular, the twelve seconds that Bo Yusen appeared were repeatedly edited and posted online.

The leader was pleased and rewarded Si Yuan and Gu Yinhe.

Everyone was happy, except for Gu Mingyue.

Gu Mingyue has been busy flying around lately. She was already convinced that Si Yuan would ruin the event, and even thought that she could see Si Yuan make a fool of herself when she got back.

To everyone's surprise, Si Yuan and Gu Yinhe actually made a contribution.

What surprised her most was that Bo Yusen actually appeared in the shot.

Damn it, if she had known it would turn out like this, she should have gone herself instead of giving such a good opportunity to Si Yuan.

Now things are much better. Si Yuan's abilities are obvious to all, and even Gu Yinhe, who only knew how to have fun, has become successful.

Overjoyed, the father posted three messages praising Gu Yinhe on his WeChat Moments.

Even though she was outstanding, her father never boasted about her.

Gu Mingyue clenched her fists angrily and made a phone call.

"Aunt Ji, it's me..."

With Gu Yinhe as an inside man, Lu Xiao was able to know Si Yuan's movements at all times.

Upon learning that Si Yuan was free on Friday afternoon, Lu Xiao happily rushed to the flower shop and bought a bouquet of red roses.

She then retrieved the microphone she had already custom-made for Si Yuan and placed it in an exquisite box—

He planned to go and confess his feelings to Si Yuan in one go.

After taking a shower, Lu Xiao put on what he considered his most handsome clothes and even sprayed on a perfume that would seduce women.

Standing in front of the motorcycle, Lu Xiao looked at his handsome figure in the rearview mirror and smiled confidently.

"Ah Yuan, wait for me..."

Just as I got on my bike and was about to start it, my phone suddenly rang.

It was Su Ren calling.

Lu Xiao felt that receiving a call at this time was not a good thing, so he hung up the phone immediately.

As a result, Su Ren called again.

Lu Xiao: "..."

The other party seemed determined to keep calling if he didn't answer, leaving Lu Xiao no choice but to pick up the phone.

"You'd better have something really serious to tell me..."

"This is a huge deal. The boss just received a call from Huanyu Group, saying they want to invite us to be the spokespersons for their products."

Whether you're in the entertainment industry or the business world, as long as you're associated with Huanyu Group, your future is basically bright.

Although the band Raven Ashes has a considerable fan base, there are many other talented bands in China, so their foundation is not very solid.

But with the Universal Group as a backer, things would be different.

Su Ren: "The boss wants us to go to Huanyu Group to sign the contract now. We're already on our way there, so hurry up too."

Lu Xiao looked at the roses in his arms and the exquisitely packaged gift box: "..."

In the end, Lu Xiao arrived at Huanyu Group first.

When he arrived, the other four members of the Raven Ashes band were already there.

Everyone was stunned when they saw Lu Xiao.

"Didn't you say you were going to sleep in all day? Why are you dressed up so flashy to sleep?"

With his confession plans disrupted, Lu Xiao looked terrible and felt even worse.

"Damn, we're so lucky to get an endorsement deal with Huanyu Group, it's something to be happy about, why are you making that face?"

Su Ren raised an eyebrow, put his arm around Lu Xiao's shoulder, and asked, "Aren't you planning to confess to A Yuan?"

Lu Xiao impatiently removed Su Ren's hand. "Hurry up!"

When the five of them were out, they acted quite carefree and irresponsible.

Upon entering the CEO's office, everyone stood ramrod straight, as if in military training.

Bo Yusen's aura was enough to terrify these children with just a casual glance.

"This is the endorsement contract. Read it carefully and sign it if you think it's okay."

Su Ren carefully read through the contract. Putting aside any traps, the benefits and price offered by Huanyu Group were simply top-notch in the industry.

"I'm fine on my own..."

Su Ren then handed the contract to other people, letting them pass it around and take a look.

Everyone else examined it carefully before it reached Lu Xiao's hands.

Lu Xiao flipped through it casually.

After all, everyone thought there was no problem, and some even looked like they'd won the lottery, so there must be no problem.

until--

He inadvertently saw the words in bold—

[During the endorsement period, all members are prohibited from dating or engaging in disorderly private lives; otherwise, they will be required to pay three times the amount as a penalty for breach of contract.]

Lu Xiao looked at Bo Yusen, "Mr. Bo, this one..."

"What's wrong?"

The air conditioning in the top-floor conference room was blasting, but it couldn't suppress the low air pressure permeating the air.

Bo Yusen clasped his hands together, his posture seemingly casual, but his back was ramrod straight. His well-pressed dark suit outlined the sharp lines of his broad shoulders and narrow waist. The platinum pin buckle peeking out from the cuff flashed with a cold light, so dazzling that one dared not look directly at it.

Like Gu Yinhe, Lu Xiao wasn't particularly afraid of Jiang Zhe, but he was very afraid of Bo Yusen.

Lu Xiao nervously swallowed, and thinking of Si Yuan, he mustered his courage and said, "We're not idols, there's no need to stipulate that we can't date, right?"

Bo Yusen held a fountain pen between his fingertips, his well-defined fingers gently rotating the pen. The metal barrel rubbed against his fingertips, producing a barely audible sound, each tap like a tap on the heart of everyone present.

"You are not idols, but most of your fans are female. If you want them to spend money, you need to have professional ethics."

His voice was deep and steady, with an unquestionable tone, "Of course, if you find this clause unacceptable and want to be in a relationship more than your future, then don't sign it."

Bo Yusen's dark gaze swept over the others one by one. "Or, you guys can discuss it some more."

This wasn't something that could be done by one person alone, and Lu Xiao was immediately put in a difficult position.

Outside the CEO's office.

Su Ren was trying to persuade Lu Xiao, "It's just for one year. We not only have money, but also all sorts of resources that we can't access before."

Others also tried to persuade Lu Xiao, "Yeah, Lu Xiao, in just one year, A Yuan won't run off with someone else. Once the contract ends, the brothers will help you chase after her."

"Mr. Bo is right. Our fans are all female fans, especially your die-hard fans and girlfriend fans. If they find out that you are in a relationship, not only will our band suffer, but A Yuan will probably be beaten up by them."

"Let's take it one step at a time, focus on our careers first, then on love, okay?"

"Besides, you can't expect to succeed just by confessing your feelings. What if you fail, and we don't get the endorsement deal? Wouldn't that be a double loss?"

"..."

Lu Xiao was extremely frustrated. For a moment, he really wanted to call Si Yuan and ask her how she felt about him.

If Si Yuan says she likes him too, he will definitely go to find her no matter what.

But upon calming down and thinking about it carefully, he realized the band wasn't just his own; several members came from disadvantaged backgrounds, and Arno's mother was still in the hospital.

He can't let others lose such a good opportunity just because he wants to date.

"Gentlemen, have you reached a decision?"

Lu Xiao clenched his fist, made up his mind, and said, "Alright."

The group then went into the president's office and signed the contract.

The moment Bo Yusen saw Lu Xiao put down his pen, he looked up at him, his thin lips parted slightly, his voice low and magnetic, yet each word clear: "Pleasure doing business with you."
