Tian Peng coughed at the side and thought, “How come you included me when scolding someone? I’m also a man, you know?”

Xu Yin completely ignored Tian Peng. Chu Yi’s current condition was indeed not good. Although she did not show any expression, Xu Yin knew that she probably could not take it anymore.

The last time Chu Yi went through a breakup with Yuan Hong, she was reticent for three or four months. Xu Yin was afraid that it would happen again.

Chu Yi remained silent, and after unlocking her phone, she quickly replied to Wan Yan’s message.

“Monday at 8:30 p.m. Let me know the location when you’ve decided.”

After seeing the message had been sent successfully, she turned off her phone.

Xu Yin hugged Chu Yi’s shoulders and said, “Chu Yi, don’t be sad for that scumbag. There aren’t any good men out there, and we don’t need them!”

Tian Peng finally couldn’t bear it any longer. “Hold on a minute, there are good men out there too. This guy is a dog, not a man.”

“Hmph, don’t insult dogs. He’s even worse than a dog,” Xu Yin said indignantly.

Listening to her friends defend against injustice for her, Chu Yi tried her best to calm herself down and said, “Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. Don’t we have a collaboration to discuss today? I don’t know if it will be successful, but if it is, our company might enter the entertainment industry. Who knows, we might even get to meet a celebrity!”

Seeing Chu Yi finally smile, Xu Yin quickly changed the topic, “Exactly, we might even see a popular young actor at that film company later. Look at those young hunks now, they all have eight-pack abs and are handsome, and know how to act cute…”

Listening to Xu Yin’s beautiful fantasy, Chu Yi thought about the collaboration again.

Who cared about Wan Yan? Making money was undoubtedly the most important thing. What was the use of a husband?

Perhaps it was because of frustration in love, their work seemed to be progressing more smoothly. When they arrived in B City, the three of them headed straight to the film and television company, and surprisingly, the collaboration went smoothly.

Initially, Chu Yi thought that the other party would try to lower their bid, but to her surprise, not only did the other party not negotiate on the price, but they even proposed a profit-sharing agreement.

The three of them were ecstatic that such a good opportunity had come their way.

The person in charge of the film and television company was a beautiful woman called Jiang Ling. She was straightforward and had excellent conversational skills. Initially, it was supposed to be a difficult collaboration to negotiate, but it was completed very smoothly.

“Are you three also planning to attend the comic convention?” Jiang Ling asked. Although Jiang Ling was almost 40 years old, she was still interested in anime.

The three of them nodded at the same time. No one in the comic industry did not like the comic convention. Furthermore, B City’s Cosplay was famous throughout the country. Even if they did not participate in the event, just taking photos would be delightful. They might even be able to purchase original merchandise!

Seeing that the three of them were interested, Jiang Ling quickly suggested, “Our company is holding a Cosplay event tomorrow morning. I believe the two young ladies are quite attractive. Would you be interested in being our cosplayers? Mr. Tian can also work as our staff. You will receive a salary, and I will cover your food and lodging expenses for today.”

Although Chu Yi was somewhat hesitant, Xu Yin’s eyes were already brimming with eagerness. “Really? What is the theme? Can I see the costumes and props first?”

Upon seeing Xu Yin so happy, Chu Yi and Tian Peng also agreed.

They had come here to relax, and now that their work had been sorted out, they decided to indulge in some cosplay as they did during their school days.

Xu Yin was intentionally showing interest in the event. Chu Yi was an expert at concealing her emotions, and since it was unclear whether she was upset about her impending divorce, it was good to distract her with some fun activities.

Chu Yi had not planned to be a cosplayer, but her eyes lit up when she saw the costume.

The Xianxia-style ancient costume was truly stunning, and it was evident that the company had invested heavily in the design. The embroidery on the clothes was also exquisitely detailed.

Jiang Ling also explained, “Our collaboration was part of this series of comics. Originally, the Dream Chang’an game was still quite popular. Now, we want to make it into an anime. The reason why I invited you to participate is to let you understand the game better. Perhaps you’ll have inspiration for your future creations.”

Jiang Ling didn’t say it explicitly, but she had taken a liking to Chu Yi at first sight. Chu Yi’s fair and somewhat naive appearance made her the perfect fit for the saintess role in the game.

With Chu Yi’s looks, costume, and style, she was sure to make a huge sensation at tomorrow’s cosplay event.
