Song Xuanhe had kept his joint studio business with Feng Tong a secret from the Song Family this whole time. During the day, he would work at the Song Company. After work, he’d work at the studio. This kind of schedule had started in February and had been going on for three months now. It seemed like it would persist for the foreseeable future.
Although it seemed like there was still ample time to prepare for September’s Fall Fashion Week, a team that had just gotten together needed time to get used to working as a unit. Moreover, everyone was still young. Therefore, it was inevitable that there would be some bumps along the way. On top of that, Song Xuanhe had yet to find a suitable model. This only added to his hectic work schedule. jBMsAK
In April, when “Fortune” had released their list of the top 500 US companies, a new dark horse attracted a small proportion of the people’s attention. However, Song Xuanhe, who had no interest in finance, hadn’t noticed its rise until May 16th. On that day, “Year 2066’s Top 100 Most Valuable Brands” was published, and RE company had ranked fifty-five on that list. This caused the whole world to stir.
There was no way Song Xuanhe wouldn’t have heard about such sensational news. He had found out about it, because a magazine interview had been leaked onto the internet. Although there were no photos, the interview had exposed the new energy company’s president’s identity—Xiao Yuanmu, an orphan who had grown up in China, a man who possessed a sensitive nose when it came to finance, and a graduate from China’s top university.
Thus, there had been a period of time in which everyone and their mom would come to Song Xuanhe and inquire about Xiao Yuanmu.
RE company had been established last September. In less than half a year, they had successfully started to sell stocks. In ten months, they had entered “Fortune’s” list and managed to rank 55th on a marketing research list of top companies in the world. It was so incredible that it left people flabbergasted.
The Song Family had had the most intense reaction. Aside from Song Guochao, even Song Xuanlin hadn’t been able to resist giving Song Xuanhe a call and ask him whether or not RE’s president was really Xiao Yuanmu. 1xfetd
When Song Xuanlin’s call had come in, Song Xuanhe was in the studio. He put the call on speaker, hands still tailoring the articles in his hands. He gave the same answer he had given to a million people a million times before.
“I don’t know.
“The company was founded last September. Xiao Yuanmu had still been in China. It’s probably not him.”
“There are so many people with the same name as him. Besides, the magazine is in English. If we look at it in Chinese, maybe the characters are different. I can’t confirm whether it’s Xiao Yuanmu or not. dK6tY3
“I already told you, we broke up. Obviously we’re not in touch anymore.
“I didn’t say that it isn’t him. I just said that I can’t confirm whether it’s him or not.
“Ge, I’m busy. I’m going to hang up.”
Song Xuanhe placed his tools down. Before the next call could come in, he turned his phone off. He then continued to work in peace. There were still going to be some models coming in to audition at five. He had no time to deal with this. Whiotv
Feng Tong knocked on the door. When he heard Song Xuanhe tell him to come in, he quickly entered and shut the door behind him, thereby blocking the view of other people in the studio.
“I have a feeling that we won’t have to worry about the big magazines not coming to our fashion show during September’s Fashion Week.”
Song Xuanhe didn’t bother looking up. He gave the other a half-assed sound of acknowledgement. It was obvious that he hadn’t been listening.
Feng Tong laughed when he saw this. He had only been planning on teasing Song Xuanhe a little bit as the reason he had actually come over hadn’t been for this. Therefore, he quickly changed the subject and began to discuss what materials he would be using this season. IMelD2
The two of them would always end up completely immersed whenever they talked about work. They hadn’t paid any attention to time at all. In the end, they had only stopped when they heard someone knock. Song Xuanhe called for them to enter and checked the time. He then raised his hand to let Feng Tong see the time as well.
Six twenty-seven. Nearly an hour and a half had passed since the time Song Xuanhe was supposed to meet with the models.

The person who had knocked earlier stuck his head in cautiously. “Song laoshi
Song Xuanhe paused and said, “If you don’t really like him, don’t bother him.” FS8M2q
“F*ck, you’re the one saying this?”
Zhou Nan widened his eyes in shock. He didn’t come back to himself for a long time. It wasn’t until he was met with a spray of exhaust fumes to the face that he snapped out of it. He clicked his tongue. “Has the sun risen from the west? Is Xiao Yuanmu some kind of supernatural entity? Don’t tell me you suddenly realized you loved him after you had broken up.”
The author has something to say:
The economic ranking and anything that seems to clash with reality were made up by me. But Fortune magazine and the top 100 most valuable companies worldwide list does indeed exist. If you’re interested, you can look it up. Anything that seems unrealistic, just pretend it’s a made-up setting that’s different from reality. GU3su1
Kara: Heh. Xuanhe’s not the one who realized he loves the other after “breaking up,” Zhou Nan. (灬º 艸º灬)
Eve: Hi everyone, not a major announcement or anything but I thought I should let you guys know that I’m going to be restricting myself from looking at comments on this novel for a bit, which means that I might be late in replying to questions. If there’s an urgent comment or question, feel free to ping me on discord. I’ve always struggled with very bad anxiety and negativity only exacerbates it. I understand that everyone is entitled to their own opinions and don’t want to censor anyone. I also understand that these comments are not an attack on myself. But knowing this in my brain isn’t the same as knowing it with my heart.
Every negative comment about the story and characters I love affects me on a normal day, let alone on a day where my mental health is at its lowest. I know there are countless of kind comments and I thank you all for leaving me such encouraging words. But a single negative comment can severely diminish my joy and will to translate. So I thought that it would be best if I just didn’t read any for some time. I might catch up on comments on this novel once a week or at some other frequency, but I definitely won’t be reading them every day anymore. I started to translate to share the novels I love with other fans who love them the same and I want to continue to do that. So I hope that this break will help me find that love again. To anyone who read this far, thanks for supporting me and this novel. Updates will continue as per usual.n2tRaZ\nn2tRaZ\n
