Jiang Chen returns home late after mediating an argument between Pei Yunxi and Luo Li'er. He confides in Li Shuru that Pei Yunxi is in a relationship with a K.E Group executive, a secret she has kept from her sister and the public. This revelation is presented as a major development that CX Entertainment plans to manage discreetly to avoid public backlash.

"Paris is actually quite unkempt, Junior Sister Li; you shouldn’t be swayed by online portrayals. It’s less a paradise for travelers and more a haven for the destitute."

"Paris has perpetually been a destination I’ve yearned to visit. To hear Luoxue describe it this way is truly disheartening."

"Not entirely. The Louvre remains a worthwhile excursion."

"You seem remarkably acquainted with Paris, Luoxue?"

"Moderately so."

"If I ever have the occasion to visit Paris, would you guide me around?"

"Certainly... Apologies, Senior Sister Li, but that may prove difficult in the immediate future."

The following day dawned, and it was already midday when he awoke.

Upon descending, Jiang Chen observed Xu Siyi engaged in animated conversation with someone in the main chamber.

Who could that be?

It was none other than Luo Li’er, who had arrived late the previous night.

He had managed a brief respite before stepping in as peacemaker.

Doesn’t this young lady require sleep?

"What’s the situation? Weren’t you employed in Paris?"

"She was dismissed."

Jiang Chen’s declaration captured the attention of both women.

"Senior!"

Luo Li’er appeared annoyed, her delicate features etched with displeasure. "Who was dismissed?"

"It’s still quite early; aren’t you planning to rest?" Jiang Chen inquired.

Early?

Xu Siyi wore a puzzled expression.

Most regular office employees would be nearing their lunch break by this hour.

"What time is it? I’m no slumbering creature."

Jiang Chen didn't interpret her statement as mere sarcastic muttering; rather, it was an expression of youthful exuberance. He recalled Luo Peng once setting a record by staying out consecutively for four days, leaving everyone concerned for his well-being.

"Luoxue even brought fruit specially," Xu Siyi pointed out.

Jiang Chen settled himself and asked, "Isn't that exceedingly thoughtful?"

"It was arduous for you, Senior."

Jiang Chen offered a wry smile.

This young lady.

She certainly possesses excellent etiquette.

Mere hours have passed, and she has already presented gifts as a token of appreciation.

"What clandestine exchange are you two engaged in?"

Xu Siyi, completely unaware of someone’s late-night excursion, possessed an instinct that the conversation between the senior and junior felt somewhat peculiar.

"Securing my current position owes a debt to Senior’s assistance, thus this is but a small gesture, correct, Senior?"

"It was of no consequence."

Jiang Chen maintained a detached demeanor before turning to Xu Siyi. "Shall we find something to eat?"

"I have already partaken in a meal." Xu Siyi replied innocently.

"As have I," Luo Li’er added.

Jiang Chen remained unmoved. "I have not yet eaten."

It appeared Xu Siyi then comprehended and rose, hands gripping her knees. "Very well, my liege."

Jiang Chen remained silent.

Luo Li’er observed Xu Siyi depart.

"Senior, you are truly impressive!"

Jiang Chen adopted a modest posture. "There’s no need for such formality in the future; we are practically family now."

Previously, it was maintained for the sake of senior-junior camaraderie.

And now.

This young lady is practically his future sister-in-law.

"I was concerned you might encounter difficulties."

Luo Li’er softly stated.

"What sort of trouble could possibly arise?"

"I feared Senior Sister Li might misinterpret the situation, so I came to offer my support in this matter."

"..."

Jiang Chen let out a chuckle.

"You underestimate my capabilities. Furthermore, you don’t truly grasp Senior Sister Li’s magnanimous nature; at times, I feel I don’t measure up to her character."

Luo Li’er nodded and sighed. "Senior possesses discerning taste."

"Have you extended an apology to your sister?"

"Indeed. I stayed the night at her residence yesterday."

Jiang Chen feigned surprise and teased, "An adult still sharing a bed with her sibling; aren’t you embarrassed?"

"She is my sister; what is there to be embarrassed about? We used to share baths as children. Is Senior harboring any jealousy?"

"What grounds would I have for jealousy?"

"Hehe."

It was quite apparent.

Someone had already breached the defenses of this campus belle. Luo Li’er treated him like kin, despite their lack of blood relation; otherwise, how could she jest so freely?

"Moving forward, ensure open communication to resolve any disputes. You are an adult now; learn to empathize with others’ circumstances; your sister… is also facing her own trials." Jiang Chen advised gently.

"Mm."

Luo Li’er’s expression grew serious. "I sincerely apologized to her."

"Treasure your sister. Once she is truly wedded abroad, seeing her will become a rare occurrence."

To strengthen their sisterly bond, considerable effort had been expended.

"It is merely a courtship. Whether it culminates in marriage remains uncertain."

Luo Li’er accepted the present reality while maintaining a hopeful outlook.

Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh, shaking his head. He opted not to press the matter further, inwardly pondering if this young lady, upon learning the truth, might conclude that her sister could equally consider a foreign partner.

"Eat up."

Xu Siyi’s actions were swift. Considering the man might be famished, she presented a bowl of boiled noodles in just over ten minutes.

Mm.

An egg was included.

Boss Jiang isn’t one to fuss over details; acknowledging a courtesy is different from treating someone as a permanent domestic helper.

Jiang Chen began to savor his noodles.

He had certainly exerted himself quite a bit the previous night.

"Is Senior Sister Li currently on vacation?" Luo Li’er inquired of Xu Siyi.

"I’m the one who’s out of a job now," Xu Siyi responded with a smile that carried a hint of self-deprecation and bitterness.

Luo Li’er, possessing a keen intellect, avoided the typical reaction of other girls who might pry with "What happened?" and delve into juicy gossip. She asked no further questions.

"Is Senior Sister Li interested in fashion design or anything fashion-related?"

"Why do you ask?" Xu Siyi was curious.

"Senior Sister Li could come work with me," Luo Li’er offered.

"Go to Paris?"

"No, not abroad for the time being, just within the country." Under Pei Yunxi’s guidance, K.E. had made a significant entry into the Shen Zhou Market, and the company also maintained a branch within the nation.

"But… I have no experience."

"Lack of experience is fine, as long as there’s interest," Luo Li’er stated reassuringly.

"This…" Xu Siyi was taken aback but appeared intrigued.

The most effective method to banish sorrow is by redirecting one's attention. Immersing oneself in a career is indeed a commendable approach.

"Senior Sister Li, you can mull it over and provide me with a response after giving it some thought."

"Isn't it a bit improper?" Xu Siyi still maintained a degree of courtesy.

Indeed. She was well-acquainted with Li Shuru and Boss Jiang, but her connection with Luo Li’er was, at most, that of fellow schoolmates.

"No problem at all," Luo Li’er replied with a sweet smile. "My sister happens to be K.E.'s global spokesperson; this minor matter is a piece of cake for her."

Jiang Chen let out a silent chuckle inwardly. Firstly, it was due to the young lady's inherent kindness. Secondly, it stemmed from her astuteness. It wasn't about leveraging her sister directly, but rather about skillfully employing the influence and clout of that Chen Jiang.

Precisely. Your cousin's boyfriend. Why not utilize such an advantage if the opportunity arises? Whether one harbors affection for them is a separate issue entirely.

"If you're interested, you absolutely could give it a shot," Jiang Chen chimed in between bites, his chopsticks poised.

She clearly wished to steer clear of the finance world moving forward and likely wouldn't return to manage the dance club with Jin Jin. Exploring a different life path seemed a more appealing prospect.

Witnessing those around you enhance their lives or attain improved circumstances due to your influence provides a satisfaction that transcends even the pleasure derived from accumulating wealth. This phenomenon explains why certain individuals, after attaining power, might even elevate stray village dogs to the status of police dogs, providing them with government-issued rations.

To a certain extent, it resembles a creator's engagement with their game.

This is because such influence invariably shapes, alters, and even dictates the destinies of others.

"Then… I will give it some thought." The "creator" then lowered his head to resume slurping his noodles.
