Even a great beauty like Shi Shi couldn't withstand such a deadly shooting angle.

Hang Yi remembered a joke online that said a woman goes through all the trouble of plastic surgery, but it's still not as good as her boyfriend's photography skills. It's like a magic mirror, making her photos look like fog, rain, and wind—just not human.

Hang Yi's photography skills are very high. He used to not understand why anyone could take such ugly photos. Now he has seen it for himself.

Fu Yingzhou was very cold towards Hang Minmin. Even after Shi Shi came to call them, Hang Minmin didn't get a chance to strike up a conversation.

Hang Yi glanced at his watch and raised an eyebrow. "Finished so quickly? Sister-in-law, you're amazing!" This was a genuine remark; he had initially thought that if it took any longer, he'd leave Hang Minmin here alone so he could slip away. He wanted to let this brat see through his wishful thinking. He hadn't expected it to be finished in just over an hour.

Shi Shi, fearing Hang Minmin might cause trouble, took a precaution and led them directly to the rehearsal room. The quality of a song is hard to judge; it's purely a matter of personal feeling. She sang it directly to avoid Hang Minmin finding excuses to complain!

The moment Shi Shi walked to the piano and opened the lid, her demeanor changed.

If your eyes

To be able to come to me for a moment

If you can hear

The sound of a heart breaking

Her voice was captivating, instantly drawing you into a bittersweet world.

The onions at the bottom of the plate resemble me.

Always a condiment

I'm secretly watching you.

"Secretly hiding oneself"

Hang Minmin could naturally tell whether the song was good or bad. Besides, the song was about unrequited love! Wasn't it a veiled criticism of her?

"If you are willing to go layer by layer"

Peeling open my heart layer by layer

You'll feel a lump in your throat and tears will well up in your eyes.

As long as you can hear me

"See my wholehearted dedication"

As the lingering sound of the piano keys faded, Hang Yi clapped.

"She truly deserves the title of 'talented woman from Peking University'! My sister-in-law is amazing!"

No wonder Fu Yingzhou was so infatuated; he's even starting to admire his ex-husband now. He's willing to divorce someone like that—he must be someone who can get things done!

He turned to Hang Minmin and said, "What do you think? Let's go with this one."

Hang Minmin was a little embarrassed: "The vocal range of this song may not be suitable for me."

Shi Shi had never heard Hang Minmin's songs before, so she was a little curious and started tapping the low register of the piano to let Hang Minmin test the sound.

After the test, both those who knew the song and those who didn't fell silent.

Shi Shi: You're quite the smooth talker, aren't you? Not being able to sing high notes means it's not my vocal range.

"Minmei, you don't have to be in this industry." Hang Yi wanted to say, "Let's go home. How did someone with this level of skill even debut as a singer?!"

Hang Minmin was so disheartened by her brother's words that she was completely discouraged. Unexpectedly, it was Shi Shi who spoke up for her.

"If it exists, it has a reason. Understand? This song, 'Onion,' is really not suitable. I have a song I wrote before that's practically tailor-made for you."

Actually, it didn't sell. It was a sweet little song called "I Miss You." She promoted this song twice, but compared to the other songs she presented, its long, repetitive lyrics and simple melody made the person feel it lacked depth.

Little did they know, catchy pop songs are the most addictive. They spread far more widely than complex songs! Shi Shi refused to lower her standards. This song was expensive, but lacked substance. Thus, she became a "veteran employee."

No wonder Shishi felt good things were going to happen today; isn't this just something tone-deaf people are prone to? Compared to that song "Onion" just now, what good would it do for Hang Minmin to hire a million-dollar sound engineer? Wouldn't the live version be a disaster? Thanks to the government for cracking down on lip-syncing, her business is booming!

After listening to "Onion," the three of them listened to "I Miss You" and there was a noticeable difference in their feelings. Hang Minmin, on the other hand, made a decision quickly.

"Okay, let's go with this song. I'll have my manager come over tomorrow to discuss it."

After saying that, Hang Minmin took out sunglasses from her bag, and Xiao Hei put them on, acting like she didn't care about anyone! It's over, no more pretending!

If I had known it would turn out like this, why would I have bothered to pretend like that for so long? It's exhausting!

Hang Minmin walked away in her high heels, clattering along like a little donkey wearing horseshoes.

Shi Shi and Fu Yingzhou looked at each other in bewilderment.

Hang Yi gave an awkward smile and pointed to his head: "Hehe, she's not very bright, don't take it to heart." After saying that, he left Fu Yingzhou with a promise to meet another day.

Only Shishi and Fu Yingzhou remained in the room.

"My brother Niu is still the most charming. Even though he's over fifty, he can still get young girls to spend money on him."

Fu Yingzhou knew that he was angry!

"I'm only 18 years old."

Have you no shame?

"Men care about age too. Besides, I'm the kind of man they can't have."

"Do you have many suitors as cute as you?" Shi Shi's expression was overly solemn and serious.

Fu Yingzhou tensed up: "Absolutely not."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Shi's expression changed slightly...

Why do I feel a little disappointed?

Shi Shi: There's only one God of Wealth, what a pity.

Fu Yingzhou took Shi Shi's coat and draped it over her shoulders, saying, "Now that you're all done, I'll take you somewhere."

"Where is it?"

You'll know when you get there.

Shi Shi muttered something mysteriously and didn't ask any more questions.

Wanyun is a handmade custom clothing shop. The owners are an elderly couple. The husband is an excellent cheongsam maker, while his wife has impressive tailoring skills for suits. The shop isn't very big, and most of its customers are regulars.

"Oh, Mr. Fu is here!" Mrs. Luo, the shop owner, greeted Fu Yingzhou.

"I've come to pick up the cheongsam."

"Is this your girlfriend? You two are such a perfect match! You're so lucky."

"Thanks."

Mrs. Luo led them into the inner room. She then turned to fetch her cheongsam.

"Do you come here often?" Shi Shi asked curiously.

“When I was little, my mom really liked wearing cheongsams. She would always bring me here. Later, when I started working, I came here to have my suits and shoes made. This shop is run by the three of them. The husband and wife make suits and cheongsams respectively, and their daughter makes shoes.”

Shi Shi nodded knowingly, a hint of anticipation in her eyes. To ordinary people, he seemed to have very high standards for quality of life. But Fu Yingzhou had lived a privileged life since childhood; those high-quality things were simply part of his daily routine.

The fact that this shop owner can retain such customers shows that he has some skill.

A moment later, Mrs. Luo came out carrying a large brocade box. She said warmly, "It's made from your mother's fabric. Only this young lady's figure could do justice to such a beautiful cheongsam."

Shi Shi pulled her hand back as she was about to reach out.

"Using Auntie's fabric? That's not really appropriate."

Fu Yingzhou shook his head indifferently: "She stopped wearing cheongsams after she got older. If we keep leaving them out, the fabric will lose its luster sooner or later. Only when she wears them will they truly complement each other."

Mrs. Luo's hand holding the box stiffened for a moment. Thank goodness she had a daughter. What's the use of having a son!

The moment Shi Shi took out the cheongsam, a lyric came to mind.

The sky is the color of rain and mist, and I am waiting for you.
