Mingmei got up in the morning, she saw her phone, she was shocked to see her phone flooded with notifications and messages. Yifeng called her.

"Meimei, have you seen the news?" he asked.

"What's so serious Xiaofeng, I know it would be about yesterday" she said.

"Yes, it is, but are you not excited" he said.

"We knew this would be coming!" she said.

By now, Mingmei has got habitual with all this online stuff, news, so she was quite calm.

"What do you want me to do, as your manager?" he asked.

"Do what you have been doing always, manage it in your way. But remember, don't drag Wang Lie in it" she said.

"Ok, got it. So, are you going to office or what?" he asked.

"Yes, I'm. I can't ignore my work for my personal stuff" she said.

"Ok, then you continue with your work. Bye" he said.

She hung up the phone, got ready and left for the office.

As she reached the office everyone was cheering for her, clapping for her.

"Meimei, I'm so happy! My friend is a celebrity!" Yaya hugged her.

"Thank you, I'm not a celebrity, I'm just a writer," said Mingmei.

"But your writings are quite popular, and on the top of that is you are Wang Lie's girlfriend. You've been all over the internet now!" said Yaya.

"Thank you!" said Mingmei.

Everyone went back to work. Zhang Wei called Mingmei to his office.

"Boss, you asked me?" she said.

"There's an important project I want to talk about" he said.

"And what's that?" she asked.

"It's a movie launch event" he said.

"Ok, and what are the details?" she asked.

"For details, they are gonna contact me later today. So, if everything goes right, then we'll have a meeting in two days" he said.

"Although we don't have experience about this yet, but this can be a good opportunity to enter the entertainment field" she said.

"That's right. This kind of project is new for us" he said.

"Hm" she said nothing.

"Anyways, let's talk about you, you have quite secrets, Starbird!" he said.

"Speaking of that, I..." She was nervous.

"It's ok, you don't need to give an explanation, I'm happy, that I follow you" he said.

"You follow me...? Like my writings?" she asked.

"Yes, I like them all, especially the recent one" he said.

"Thanks" she was shy.

"Well, can I get your autograph?" he asked.

"Ah…?" she was surprised.

"I'm your fan, so, this isn't odd to ask for!" he said.

"Boss, you... sure." She was nervous.

"Thanks a lot" he said.

She left. He kept on looking to the autograph for some time, then placed it in his private diary.

His phone started ringing.

"Hello?" he asked.

"Hey, it's Zixin! I hope you remember me." she said.

"How are you...? haven't met since we are back" he asked.

"I was thinking of the same. It's been days, we've been in the city, but haven't seen each other" she said.

"Been caught with the work recently" he said.

"How about meeting tonight?" she asked.

"Sounds good! I'll come pick you" he said.

"Ok. I'll wait for you then. Bye!" she said.

Mingmei was already feeling like being popular now, as her phone was continuously filled with notifications. Suddenly she sees a notification about Wang Lie's new project.

Wang Lie's new television drama!

"Oh my god! New series! Who's the actress?" some user commented.

"It's Feng Tao! I heard it's their second series together" another user replied.

"I'm so excited to see them together! Waiting for launch event!" another user commented.

While she was watching these comments, she gets call from Wang Lie.

"Hello, congratulations to you!" she said.

"Thanks, dear. I was about to call you for the same" he said.

"I just saw! It's everywhere on internet" she said.

"So, do you have time to meet later this evening?" he asked.

"Hm, I'm sorry, I can't say that for sure. There's a new project ahead, so I'll be quite busy even after office hours" she said.

"It's ok, then let me know when you are free" he said.

"Ok. I'll talk to you later then" she said.

"Bye" he said.

She hung up the call and went back to work. These days are busy for her, as this is something new for her and everyone else. It was evening, Zhang Wei was about to leave when he saw Mingmei was still working.

"Wrap it up now, work on it later, we still have one more day" he said.

"I know, but it's always good to be well prepared" she said.

"Fine, then let's do it together!" he said.

"It's ok, I can finish it, you will be packed up tomorrow!" she said.

"That's the very reason, I should work too! After all, chairman won't spare my mistake either!" he said.

While working, Mingmei's phone rings. Both forgot about the time, they kept working until midnight.

"It's late now let's call it a day." he said.

"Yes, it's quite late, major work's done, some of the minor points left only, shall fix it tomorrow" she said.

"Let me drop you, it's quite an hour now, it's not safe for you to be alone" he said.

They left. After reaching home, she did not waste a single minute and went to sleep. A day later, her phone rang in the morning. She just received the call as she could barely open eyes and see.

"Hello, Meimei...?" said Yifeng.

"What's the matter early in the morning?" she asked.

"Why are you still sleeping!? Haven't you seen my message? Regarding the new project and meeting." he asked.

"What message?" saying so she just checked her phone and got up shockingly.

"Ahh!! I'm sorry, I didn't check the phone, I was so worn out, these days have been busy" she said.

"It's ok, just get ready, I'll come pick you up" he said.

Saying so, she got up, got ready and soon left with Yifeng.

After reaching the producer's office, his assistant came to greet them and asked them to rest for a while before starting the meeting. Meanwhile, Zhang Wei reached there, and everyone was quite surprised to see each other there.

"Hello boss why are you here?" she asked.

"That supposed to be my question. Well, I'm here for a meeting regarding our new project, and you?" he said.

"I had some work to discuss with Mr. Chang regarding adaptation of my story for television" she said.

"Sounds good, so we might be here related to same thing, but with different reasons" he said.
