Thinking of that, Xia Xingcheng replied to the fans’ comments, using Gu Xingxi’s Twitter account: "I am going to work hard. But please don’t stay up late, it’s not healthy for girls."

After replying to a few tweets, Xia Xingcheng logged out and decided to continue replying later. After all, fans being replied could also create trends.

And the few fans who had been replied were walking on the air of course. They started to capture the screenshots for commemorating and forwarding, feeling extremely happy and lucky.

After dealing with these things one by one, Xia Xingcheng took a look at the time. It was already noon.

Suddenly she felt hungry. Xia Xingcheng decided to go find Gu Xingxi and dine with him together. After all, bread was the staff of life.

As she was just walking to the door, suddenly came a person. A flash of disgust appeared in Xia Xingcheng’s eyes after she saw that person.

It was none other than Zhou Daiwei, who had been at odds with her.

Zhou Daiwei also saw Xia Xingcheng, his face turned for a moment. He was filled with anger.

He just saw the news on Twitter. He knew in his heart that it was not difficult for Gu Xingxi to become famous with his own merit. Because Zhou Daiwei had been burying Gu Xingxi for several years.

Now it seemed that Zhou Daiwei really underestimated Xia Xingcheng. If it weren't for Xia Xingcheng who messed up his plan, Gu Xingxi would be in his arms by now.

Thinking of that, Zhou Daiwei's face became more and more gloomy. He said with a smile: "Oh, isn't this Miss Xia? Now you are so full of yourself that you even walk differently."

Seeing the ridicule on Zhou Daiwei's face, Xia Xingcheng had already expected, and presumably, his words would be even worse if they were not at work.

Xia Xingcheng waited for the elevator and said dismissively: "Mr. Zhou has a lot of spare time, huh? You are really paying attention to my business."

Zhou Daiwei was angry already, and seeing Xia Xingcheng being so dismissive, he said ambiguously: "I can't compare myself to you. Now Gu Xingxi really grabbed a lot of attention under your management. How did I not see that Gu Xingxi was an uncut diamond? Or do you have some other means that you can teach me?"

To sneer at Xia Xingcheng, Zhou Daiwei's intention was to sound out if Xia Xingcheng had someone helping her secretly.

But Xia Xingcheng was not tricked by him. Instead, she looked at Zhou Daiwei coldly and said with disdain on her face: "Mr. Zhou, you are kidding me. What means could I have? By the way, I have you to thank for. If it weren't for you, I won't be able to dig out his talent, right?"

She was in a good mood today and did not want to have a fight with Zhou Daiwei. Although she did not like Zhou Daiwei, she did not discriminate against him because he was gay. She just couldn't sit around and watch Zhou Daiwei burying a talent like Gu Xingxi using such despicable means!

Zhou Daiwei was provoked by Xia Xingcheng's words, his face became red. He was going to humiliate Xia Xingcheng some more, but suddenly remembered in a few days at the company party, she would be facing the consequences. This thought eased his anger a little.

Zhou Daiwei held his temper and switched to another subject: "By the way, Miss Xia, it's the company party in a few days. You must attend on time. Don't be late."

Xia Xingcheng wondered: "What party? Why don't I know about this?"

"You are too busy to notice. The company party happens once a year, and the big boss will attend. You don't want to be late!"

After saying that, Zhou Daiwei did not engage with Xia Xingcheng anymore. The elevator arrived just in time, Zhou Daiwei went in directly and left.

Xia Xingcheng felt like Zhou Daiwei was lying to her about the company party. After all, if there was a party like this, she would know.

So she did not put this matter in mind. After getting off the elevator, she found Gu Xingxi and had lunch with him casually at the cafeteria.

On their way back, Xia Xingcheng thought of the party and asked Gu Xingxi finally: "Xingxi, do you know there is going to be a company party a few days?"

Gu Xingxi nodded: "Yes. There are several parties actually every year. It's just… I don't usually attend, so I didn't tell you."

Xia Xingcheng nodded. She couldn't help but feel sorry for him. Presumably, he was suppressed by Zhou Daiwei, and had been in the corner where no one paid attention.

Generally, such a party would have a few reporters present to create publicity and gossip.

"Well, be confident. I promise you'll show your face this year. Not only that, maybe it's your time to shine." Xia Xingcheng said confidently.

Hearing this, Gu Xingxi’s mood gradually turned better. The haze in his heart was swept away. "I understand."

They casually chatted for a moment, Xia Xingcheng suddenly remembered an important matter.

"Oh, no. I have to wear a gown for the party, right? I just remembered I didn't have a gown." Saying this, Xia Xingcheng was feeling regret. She blamed herself that she did not take a few gowns with her when she returned to the country. She used to attend a lot of banquets abroad and had a lot of gowns.

"What will you do? You must wear a gown." There were concerns on Gu Xingxi’s face.

Xia Xingcheng smiled it off: "It doesn't matter. Tomorrow is the weekend, I’ll just buy one then. No big deal."

Gu Xingxi nodded and said nothing more. His dropping eyelids covered his thoughts, he memorized this matter secretly.

In the afternoon, Gu Xingxi planned to continue his training. But Xia Xingcheng meant to let him spend more time with his sister. Gu Xingxi did not insist and left the company early.

There's no work for today anymore, Xia Xingcheng left the company early too. She needed to relax before "Love Through Time 2" started shooting in some time.

Otherwise, when the shooting starts, not only would Gu Xingxi be tired, but she too.

She went early to pick up Bao at the kindergarten. Xia Xingcheng found that today Bao seemed particularly happy. She guessed probably because the children were becoming friendly to him again.

Seeing Bao was happy, made Xia Xingcheng happy too. As she was about to take Bao to leave, a parent suddenly said hello to Xia Xingcheng.

"Xia Xingcheng, hello. You are picking Bao up?” That parent looked a few years older than Xia Xingcheng but appeared a lot more decrepit.

"Yes, I came to pick up Bao."

Although Xia Xingcheng was suspicious, she greeted the parent out of politeness.

"Last time I saw your husband picked you up. He didn't come today?" That parent continued her ask curiously.
