Song Mimi goes back down forced to talk to other people interested in investment after her conversation with Lei Xiqi even though she initially planed to avoid them all.
"It's been very nice meeting you. If there's anything else you need you can definitely see my assistant for help or further inquiries."
She walks away as Zhou Sheng catches up to her handing her a glass of champagne.
"You look stressed by all this."
"That's because I don't get close to people that much. They're too much."
"It should be over very soon then. All jewels showcased today have been purchased. You've made great sales tonight. And I've also handled things much better at Black Cosmetics since you thought me a thing or two."
Zhou Sheng took a sip of her champagne as a particular figure approached her. It was none other Zhuge Xing's wife, Yu Lan with Xun Yujin.
"Ms Zhou... hi it's a pleasure to meet you. You don't know me but I was introduced to you by a friend of mine. This must be the lady in black then. It's a pleasure to meet you as well."
Yu Lan and Xun Yujin both looked at the two youthful women with soo much respect in their eyes. Song Mimi just turned to them with the same indifferent expression on her face.
"It's about time we left. I don't have time to exchange pleasantries with you."
Song Mimi walked away with Zhou Sheng only to be stopped again by a male figure this time around with a dominant aura almost the match of hers. Someone worthy finally caught her eye other than Xiao Juhan.
"Gong Siye from GongMeng group."
He extended his card which was taken by Zhong Hu who came out of nowhere.
"I've heard of GongMeng group. You've trained many models who are now the faces of countless prestigious magazines."
Song Mimi said coldly but elegantly. And if anyone had a third eye, they would definitely see the surge of dominant power fighting each other.
"I think your girls have a lot of potential and I'd like to offer them a job."
"You're straight forward and I like that. It still doesn't mean I'll give you permission right away. You can speak to my assistant later and he will fix you a date. As of now I have to leave. Zhong Hu make sure they're home safe and sound."
She walks past him finally leaving the hotel as Zhong Hu got the car.
"I was wondering when you were gonna come out. Even thought of going in there to get you out myself."
Song Mimi sighed as she had to run into someone else again even after leaving. She turned to see Xiao Juhan calmly leaning against the wall waiting for her.
She actually didn't quite notice him until now and neither did she notice how handsome he looked that night in his turtle neck shirt and suit along with his black kick sneakers.
"I didn't think you were leaving that early?"
Feng Nanxing said approaching her as she took in a deep breath to calm herself.
"Yeah, this is already over but people still chose to stay for other reasons which are not my concern. Zhong Hu will take care of things here while I'm gone. Thank you again for coming to support. Really... it meant a lot."
She gives him a slight smile as Zhong Hu arrives with the driver getting off. Feng Nanxing takes the opportunity to get the door for her as she enters with Zhou Sheng.
"Take care then. I'll see you again."
Song Mimi gives him the same slight smile as the glass rolls up and the driver takes off with Xiao Juhan still looking as she didn't even turn to him once. His face gives off a broken smile as he gets into his Ferrari and leaves right away.
Feng Nanxing stood there with a proud smile on his face as he had won this battle seeing Xiao Juhan with only little chance to pursue Song Mimi unbeknownst to him, the universe has its own way of getting them together even through harsh ways.

The next day came by soo fast, and as usual we find Song Mimi in her favorite place engrossed in her work fully as Zhou Sheng sat on the couch busily scrolling down on her phone as Zhong Hu barged in with a tablet in hand.
"Ms Song... something... something happened."
Song Mimi looked at him pissed as he placed the tablet down in front of her with a video playing as Zhou Sheng got up to have a look.
The shock which devoured her right then made her drop the tablet.
"What happened? Is something wrong?"
She asked looking at the two clueless. Song Mimi was still in a state of shock unable to believe it.
"Xiao Juhan... his father got hit by a speeding car in front of a local restaurant... and he happened to be there. Unfortunately the news couldn't be stopped from leaking out."
Zhong Hu answered her right.
"Well then do everything to stop the media from poking their nose into his business any further. He shouldn't be in a state to tolerate them right now."
Zhong Hu nods picking the tablet from the floor as Song Mimi snapped out of her shock going out right in a hurry.
"Ms Song...?"
"Let her go. She wants to be there with him right now."
Zhou Sheng said stopping Zhong Hu as he stood there still before getting back to his pending work assigned right then.

Meanwhile at the hospital, the director of the hospital tended to Mr Xiao himself in the operation room as Xiao Juhan turned to be reckless in a frustrated state.
His white shirt and jacket were stained with his father's blood as well as his hand walking to and fro unable to sit when a soft hand held him out of nowhere. He turned to find none other than Song Mimi standing behind him.
"Can you please leave? Your presence frustrates me more."
He frees himself from her grip still pacing as Song Mimi watched him feeling an unbearable pain in her chest seeing him soo devastated. She hurriedly hugs him tightly even though he refuses to hug her back.
"Please calm down. You like this... it hurts me very much. Please calm down Xiao Juhan."
He pushes her away for the first time making Song Mimi scared. Then the lights go out as the director comes out right then with an expressionless face.
"I'm truly sorry Xiao Juhan but..."
Song Mimi's heart sank hearing those words the doctor said.
"... your father is dead."
He gently pat his shoulder before leaving in disapointment.
