One by one, they went through the remaining offers, with Lixue swiftly deciding which ones to pursue and which to decline. She wasn't interested in spreading herself thin across too many brands—quality mattered more than quantity.
By the end of the discussion, most of the executives seemed satisfied. But even as they wrapped things up, she could still feel the weight of their unspoken curiosity.

As the meeting wrapped up, Lixue stood, smoothing out her coat as she prepared to leave. But before she could step away, a familiar voice called out to her from the doorway.
"Lixue," Shi Haoyue greeted, stepping inside with a clipboard in hand. His sharp eyes scanned the executives before settling on her. "You're needed for a quick rundown of your upcoming schedule."
Lixue exhaled lightly. "I'm guessing it's packed?"
Shi Haoyue smirked. "That would be an understatement."
