After all the playful days, Noland finally started focusing on the RM collaboration project. It was time to get down to business.

Jin Shiya, while greeting Noland in RM’s reception area, still found the situation hard to believe. Chen Zichen, who was accompanying them that day, couldn't help but feel that there was something... off about how close Jin Shiya and Noland seemed.

They had just met, hadn’t even begun discussing work, and yet the two of them were already huddling together, discussing something about milk tea.

Jin Shiya, in a tone of playful disdain, teased Noland, “You're a grown man, and you like strawberry yogurt?”

“You’re not only foolish but also sexist. What’s wrong with strawberry yogurt? Don’t like it?” Noland shot back, but Jin Shiya, who secretly shared the same taste, decided to drop the subject. Instead, she became busy with other things.

“Can you help me place this order on WeChat? It’s almost done, just one more, and I’ll get a red envelope. That’ll save me five yuan!” she requested.

“...You really need this five yuan?” Noland replied.

Jin Shiya gave him a side glance. “What are you talking about? Every little bit helps.”

Reluctantly, Noland pulled out his phone and tapped the link Jin Shiya had sent him. As he scrolled through, he saw the numerous links Jin Shiya had shared. It was clear that their bond went beyond just business; they were united by a “milk tea revolutionary friendship.” Even though Noland muttered that saving five yuan wasn’t worth the effort, he still did it with a resigned sigh, tapping the screen with his long, delicate fingers.

The heir of a powerful conglomerate, and the mysterious man with immense influence behind her—yet here they were, squabbling over milk tea that barely cost thirty yuan. Chen Zichen couldn't help but think this world was turning upside down.

The closeness between them was so evident that it didn’t feel like two business professionals meeting for work—it felt more like... two best friends deciding on milk tea. Chen Zichen kept this thought to himself, realizing that if Noland ever heard it, the two collaboration proposals they were working on would go straight out the window.

Once the milk tea was ordered, the two sides finally got down to serious business.

The first collaboration proposal didn’t need much explanation. However, the second one, which seemed to drop out of the sky, required careful consideration. RM had given it their utmost attention, but the collaborators, besides Noland and Sherman, were absent. No director or screenwriter was present.

Chen Zichen raised a concern about this.

Noland, however, simply replied, “It’s fine. I’ll make the final decision.”

Chen Zichen could only nod.

He knew just how much power Noland Harris wielded. Even if someone dug up information on him, they would be immediately warned to stop or face the consequences.

What could RM possibly want from Noland’s massive family?

Chen Zichen’s gaze drifted, almost unconsciously, towards Jin Shiya. Could it be… for her?

The thought amused him. While Jin Shiya was indeed attractive, she wasn't the type of woman who could bring a kingdom to its knees with a single smile. If Noland were to favor her, she’d have to be someone more like those legendary beauties who could cause turmoil in a country, not just a pretty girl. After all, even Chen Zichen had met countless women who were more beautiful than Jin Shiya.

For example… Jiang Shiyu.
