Su Lan deflected Huang Shan’s suspicions with a calm demeanor, accepting the benefits of their cooperation without revealing her true intentions. Meanwhile, Qin Miaomiao, intrigued by Su Lan’s unusual maturity, received photos of Su Lan visiting a cemetery. The location, where Rong Lan is buried, struck Qin Miaomiao as a significant coincidence, deepening her suspicion that Su Lan harbors deeper secrets and prompting her to order discreet surveillance.

Qin Miaomiao reflected on Su Lan's recent compliant behavior, noting how the newcomer followed the company's activity arrangements without differentiating herself from others. Qin Miaomiao considered if new ideas were forming in Su Lan's mind.

She held the photograph, gazing at it for a time before Rong Lan's image surfaced in her thoughts.

Carrying a bouquet of yellow and white chrysanthemums, Qin Miaomiao made her way to the cemetery. Her visit felt destined, especially after dreaming of Rong Lan the previous night.

Upon placing the flowers before his grave, she noticed another bouquet already present, its blooms looking somewhat wilted and less fresh.

"It appears I'm not the only one who remembers you," she murmured.

Qin Miaomiao's gaze lingered on the chrysanthemums. She surmised the other bouquet belonged to a friend of Rong Lan from his lifetime. Despite his reserved nature and low profile, he had maintained good relationships and avoided making enemies.

Deep in contemplation, she acknowledged a genuine sense of longing for Rong Lan.

"The company has been exceptionally busy lately, with two productions commencing this month. My confidence level is only at fifty percent. Rong Lan, had you been here, you undoubtedly would have offered some sound guidance."

Qin Miaomiao spoke her thoughts aloud, a multitude of burdens weighing on her heart. She recognized the saying that open attacks are easily parried, but hidden daggers are treacherous. Even with extreme caution in her words and actions, offending someone in the entertainment industry felt inevitable. Her concern wasn't about confronting someone magnanimous, but rather dealing with a malicious or insidious individual, a situation she wasn't sure how to handle calmly.

"Truthfully, half of my assurance stems from Lu Qing. I am aware that he will offer his unwavering support, show me endless tolerance, and serve as my most steadfast pillar, regardless of my choices."

After an extended period of self-reflection at the cemetery, Qin Miaomiao eventually departed.

The journey back was far from peaceful, as her unresolved thoughts and the lack of a definitive answer lingered. It was then that her assistant contacted her with news of Su Lan's actions.

"Just tell me directly what Su Lan has done," Qin Miaomiao instructed over the phone.

As she absorbed her assistant’s report, Qin Miaomiao's expressive eyes clouded over. "Are you absolutely certain?"

While she had been wary of Su Lan, she hadn't anticipated her connection to Huang Shan. Huang Shan had not crossed her mind previously; their paths had never intersected, and their age difference made a friendship unlikely.

"Why Huang Shan, and not someone else I've never encountered?"

Qin Miaomiao harbored no fondness for Huang Shan.

The reporter had previously damaged Hua Tiantian's reputation solely for sensational headlines, a grievance yet unsettled. The revelation of their acquaintance was unexpected, suggesting a potential friendship between them.

"Huang Shan and Su Lan... they're actually friends."

Despite her reluctance to believe Su Lan harbored ulterior motives for joining the company, Qin Miaomiao could no longer contain her disbelief. It now seemed her suspicions were not unfounded, nor mere flights of fancy.

"It appears my suspicions have materialized. Su Lan’s objective in joining Yao Guang Entertainment is far from straightforward. Furthermore, she entered the company with a specific target in mind. But what precisely is her endgame? Does she truly believe her youthful appearance and charm can deceive everyone? She significantly underestimates me."

Qin Miaomiao resented being perceived as naive or foolish; she possessed considerable intelligence. Su Lan's underestimation left her deeply perturbed.
