Chen Yutong heard Zhan Yangyi's words, her eyes filled with a smile.
She truly felt that the way they interacted had changed, and she liked this feeling very much.
However, seeing that Zhan Yangyi still seemed a bit worried, he hesitated and said, "Although I shouldn't interfere too much with your work, I hope you can still tell me if you encounter any problems."
Chen Yutong nodded, "Mm, I will."
As she spoke, she also lightly kissed Zhan Yangyi on his cheek.
Recently, Zhan Yangyi's company had also received a lot of attention due to the previous incident. For a time, both family and career began to develop in a good direction.
Because the misunderstanding between Zhan Yangyi and Chen Yutong had just been resolved, their relationship was like that of a couple who had just gotten married.
Even though Zhan Yangyi's career was at its peak, he was willing to spend more time accompanying Chen Yutong.
Therefore, the reason Chen Yutong proposed to go to work herself was also to prevent Zhan Yangyi from delaying his work for the sake of their relationship.
Zhan Yangyi naturally knew this, he just didn't say it out loud.
Soon, Chen Yutong contacted her agency and received her first job since her comeback.
When Chen Yutong saw the content of the job, her expression was not good.
This job required her to attend a banquet, and this banquet was hosted by Wang Mingyang.
Although the Wang family was not a prominent family in Pengcheng, their family held a significant position in the entertainment industry.
Even their words could send any celebrity to trending topics, and whether the trending topic was good or bad depended on the Wang family's mood.
"Do I have to go?" Chen Yutong frowned.
The agent sighed helplessly, "Mr. Wang specifically asked for you, so we have no choice. You know his status in the circle; even our company boss can't do anything about him."
Chen Yutong disliked Wang Mingyang from the bottom of her heart.
Before she met Zhan Yangyi, Wang Mingyang had openly expressed his admiration for her.
He even used his status and power to try and get Chen Yutong to be with him.
But at that time, Chen Yutong's heart was solely focused on Zhan Mohan, and Wang Mingyang actually had countless girlfriends.
Therefore, Chen Yutong disdained dealing with Wang Mingyang even more.
"Yutong, I know you don't want to go, but this time, for the sake of our company, you'll have to bear with it."
The agent also looked distressed as she spoke. If it were possible, who would want to be threatened by someone like Wang Mingyang?
The agent's attitude made Chen Yutong realize something: "The reason you insist on me going, is it because he has some leverage over us?"
The agent then said, "Do you remember the things I helped you with before? I don't know where he found out, but those have become our bargaining chips."
Chen Yutong now felt that she had been more of a hindrance than a help back then. If she hadn't been blinded by her infatuation at that time, she wouldn't have caused a series of chain reactions.
She took a deep breath. Since this matter originated from her, she had no choice but to step forward.
"Okay, I'll go."
The agent's worries did not disappear: "The banquet is in two days. A car will pick you up from the company."
"Okay, I understand."
Chen Yutong clenched her fists. This time, no matter what Wang Mingyang intended to do, she had to be prepared to deal with him.
Chen Yutong was not the only one who received a banquet invitation; Wei Yumeng also did.
Wei Yumeng looked at the invitation in her hand, feeling a bit puzzled. She had never had much to do with the entertainment industry.
If anything, she had only filmed one movie with Chai Yanyu.
However, due to those incidents, that movie had still not been released.
Beside her, Zhan Mohan looked at Wei Yumeng's somewhat distressed expression and simply said, "If you don't want to go, just decline."
But Wei Yumeng did not make a decision immediately: "I feel like there's something strange about this matter. Let me think about it."
Zhan Mohan didn't say anything further. No matter what Wei Yumeng chose, he would support her.
It wasn't until the day before the banquet started that Wei Yumeng finally made up her mind to go and see.
As for the reason why, she couldn't quite explain it.
It was already strange for someone like her, who wasn't in the entertainment industry, to be invited. If there was something strange about it, then perhaps something unexpected would happen.
And to find out what would happen, she could only go.
At Zhan Mohan's request, Wei Yumeng had Fang Xun personally drive her to the banquet venue.
Even as she got out of the car, Fang Xun conveyed Zhan Mohan's message: "Mr. Zhan said that the entertainment industry is full of undercurrents. If Madam encounters any trouble, do not engage with them and contact Mr. Zhan immediately."
Wei Yumeng nodded helplessly: "I understand."
After all, Zhan Mohan had told her this many times.
Fang Xun couldn't enter the venue, so he drove his car to the parking lot alone, planning to pick her up after the banquet.
Wei Yumeng looked at the celebrities entering the venue one after another. She felt that the Wang family was indeed quite powerful.
Most of the attendees at this banquet were currently popular stars.
From movie emperors to singing kings, almost everyone Wei Yumeng could think of was present.
Wei Yumeng felt that such a scene made her seem out of place.
She even began to regret her decision to attend the banquet.
Chen Yutong had already arrived at the banquet hall. As expected, as soon as Wang Mingyang saw her, he walked directly towards her.
"Miss Chen, it's been a long time. You're as beautiful as ever."
Chen Yutong did not give Wang Mingyang any pleasantries: "Mr. Wang is too kind. It's you who hasn't changed much over the years."
"Isn't that a good thing? How many people wish they could maintain their youthful looks forever."
Hearing this, Chen Yutong's lips curled into a mocking smile: "I take back what I just said. Mr. Wang has indeed changed, for example, your thick skin seems to have become even thicker."
However, Wang Mingyang didn't care at all. He simply leaned closer to Chen Yutong's ear and said, "Actually, what Miss Chen said earlier was also true. My feelings for you have never changed."
Chen Yutong quickly stepped back a few paces, maintaining a distance from him: "Shameless."
Wang Mingyang's smile widened. He loved seeing Chen Yutong like this.
Not far away, Wei Yumeng saw their interaction. She could feel from her heart Chen Yutong's disgust towards that man.
And this banquet invited Chen Yutong and also invited her. Was this truly just a casual gesture?
And Wang Mingyang, who was already infamous, she began to worry about Chen Yutong's situation.
