In the evening, Xu Yu was sorting out information with Sister Yun in the company. Whenever he looked up, he could see the shining "Happy birthday to Xu Yu!" on Anding Building 

The illusory things relieved his fatigue and made him feel better. 

As the night deepened, the nightlife of Lincheng gradually began, and everywhere became lively.

"It's been an hour and a half. Why is it still hanging up?" Sister Yun stretched out and said with a smile, "You have a rich fan."

Xu Yu shrugged his shoulders and continued to look at the computer.

The words outside Anding Building were charged by the minute, which was not a small amount, nor could just anyone use them.

Not long after the blessing appeared, Sister Yun called to ask about it. She rarely got into things like these. She asked for a long time and talked to a lot of people.

In the end, she only found out that the blessing was indeed for Xu Yu beside her, but as for who wrote it? Or how long it would last, she couldn’t get any information.

Xu Yu also asked Xu Weichi. Xu Weichi said he didn't know about it, and he expressed his happiness for Xu Yu on the phone, saying that he had become so popular now.

Xu Yu did not know how to explain it, but could only say that it was OK.

He was not very popular. His Weibo fans were less than 3 million. Every time he posted a Weibo, his comments were less than 1000.

There are some iron fans and some familiar IDs in the comments, but few of them really liked him.

Thinking about it, Xu Yu looked up and saw the birthday wishes in the distance. Now, these words had changed into red, dazzling in the night, and dimming the stars.

Sister Yun walked back from the printer and handed Xu Yu a document: "Look at this, you can sign it."

Xu Yu hummed and took it over.

Sister Yun pulled aside her chair and sat down. The matter at hand came to an end. She also had a moment to rest.

"I went to Weibo to have a look at this birthday wish shortly after it came out, and it was really popular." Sister Yun propped her head and looked at Xu Yu's side face: "The key word is Xu Yu's happy birthday."

Xu Yu smiled, put his finger on the second paragraph of the document, and made a finger bookmark.

"I also read it. It stayed on the hot search for a few minutes, and soon it disappeared." Xu Yu released her finger, but after looking at two lines, he put his hand on it again: "There are also some private letters from fans asking whether they are my blessings when my birthday is not here yet."

Xu Yu asked Sister Yun, "Is this considered as cheating?"

Sister Yun laughed and said, "What kind of deception is this that can be explained? Besides, you didn't do anything with your birthday."

Xu Yu nodded and suddenly said, "When this is over, I want to get a studio."

Sister Yun immediately clapped her hands and said, "I have the same idea!"

Xu Yu met Sister Yun’s gaze and the two smiled in tacit understanding

The happy birthday of Xu Yu in Anding Building lasted for two hours. After it disappeared, Xu Yu's happy birthday was briefly on the hot search.

An unknown netizen directly confirmed on Weibo that the blessing was for Xu Yu, and then attached Xu Yu's Weibo account to show you the way.

Some people said Xu Yu may have been blessed by his golden owner, others said it was his company, while others said it could have been Zhou Jie.

Xu Yu's Weibo fans had risen a little, but not much.

Because of his low fame, these topics were not discussed very much. By the way, the melon in the program was exposed by the marketing account three years ago, but it didn't make much of a splash. Everyone cheerfully discussed a few topics and it soon passed.

The termination of the contract was not as difficult or as slow as expected.

Maybe because he had made up his mind and made adequate preparations in all aspects. Xu Yu, Sister Yun and the lawyer they hired had been busy together for a while, and finally, he had terminated his contract with the company.

It was a fine day with cloudless skies.

At noon, Xu Yu walked out of the company's gate and finally said goodbye to the place that had bound him for three years.

"Lawyer Zheng, thank you." When he came down the stairs to the roadside, Xu Yu politely shook hands with Lawyer Zheng and thanked Lawyer Zheng and his assistants: "You've worked hard." 

Sister Yun also shook hands with the lawyers and thanked them.

Lawyer Zheng nodded politely: "This is what we should do. You are welcome."

Lawyer Zheng's car has stopped at the roadside. Xu Yu and Sister Yun say goodbye to them at the side of the car and watched them leave the street.

It was still spring, and the sun was not so dazzling. Sister Yun put her mobile phone away and turned to see Xu Yu with his hands in his pockets, looking in the direction of the lawyers.

Even after working together for three years, Xu Yu's beauty still felt it was worthy of appreciation. Xu Yu often frowned when he was busy canceling the contract these past few days. In retrospect, it gave off the feeling of a melancholic little prince.

Now the little prince was not so melancholic. The gentle sunshine hit his hair, the white long coat reflected light, the soft jaw line, the white neck had some shadows cast on them.

Now he was the noble little prince.

"Let's go and have something to eat first. What do you want to eat?"  Xu Yu turned to ask Sister Yun.

Sister Yun regained her composure and looked up at Xu Yu's eyes: "How about hot pot?"

Xu Yu nodded, "OK."

After getting in the car, Sister Yun began to review the job offers she had received recently.

However, according to her understanding of Xu Yu, he was not interested in these things.

She flipped through it and suddenly let out a sound: "Ah! I suddenly remembered, JSS asked you to shoot a commercial a few days ago, I wonder how it's going."

Xu Yu raised his head and said, "JSS?"

"Yes, but I didn't receive any notice. It was Shao Hui who told me at that time." Sister Yun smiled: "She probably didn't know that you were canceling your contract. She was still there to congratulate me."

Xu Yu lowered his head and said, "The company will not give it to me."

"Yes," she sighed softly, "for this kind of big brand cooperation, the company is the first to be contacted. Alas, you just happened to cancel the contract at this time." Sister Yun leaned back and said, "Cool."

JSS was an international luxury brand that had become popular in recent years. It originated in China and was headquartered in Lincheng.

It had bags, perfume, cosmetics, clothing, etc., although it couldn’t be said that everyone had heard of it, young people were the most familiar with it.

It didn’t take long to arrive at the hotpot restaurant. The two of them didn't eat very well these past few days. They picked a lot of dishes within seconds of getting the menu.

Xu Yu and Sister Yun seldom talked about things outside of work, thus this meal was quiet.

Occasionally, when there was any relevant news on Weibo, Sister Yun would tell Xu Yu he should say a word or two, and he basically ate the rest of the time.

At the end, Sister Yun's mobile phone suddenly rang.

She wiped her hands and connected the phone.

"Hello, how are you?" Sister Yun greeted politely.

Whatever was said on the other side made Sister Yun suddenly sit up straight.

Sister Yun: "Hello, hello, I'm, en, you said."

While Sister Yun was talking, she quickly turned off the hot pot and put the phone on loudspeaker.

"... we had previously spoken to your company regarding the advertisement of clothing in the next quarter. I'm calling here to ask if you are willing?"

"Who is it?" Xu Yu mouthed to Sister Yun.

Sister Yun moistened her hands with a drink and wrote three letters, "JSS", on the table.

Sister Yun: "En, we had planned to contact you."

The person on the other side laughed, and their tone eased a little: "Just in time. If you’re interested, we would like to meet Mr. Xu Yu first."

Sister Yun: "Yes, what time?"

The other side said, "If it is convenient, can you spare time today? Otherwise, we can schedule it for for next week."

"Yes," Sister Yun blurted out, answering so sharply that she startled herself, she looked up at Xu Yu and coughed, "We might be a little busy next week."

Xu Yu smiled.

There was a voice: "Good, I will send you an email later, and you can follow the address mentioned."

Sister Yun: "OK."

After hanging up, Sister Yun looked at Xu Yu with wide open eyes in surprise. She shook her mobile phone and said, "JSS ah!"

Xu Yu smiled and nodded, "Yes."

"Wow."  Sister Yun sat in her seat for a few seconds, then immediately put down her chopsticks and stood up, "Better hurry up, the interview is this afternoon, we have to prepare."

Xu Yu looked up at Sister Yun and said, "Prepare what?"

Sister Yun looked at Xu Yu from head to foot: "It seems that you don't need to prepare anything. You are in good shape today, but your hair is a bit long." Sister Yun reached out and touched Xu Yu's soft hair.

Xu Yu raised his eyes and looked at his hair. Then he pursed his lower lip and blew at it, blowing away the strands that covered his eyes.

"If this advertisement deal pushes through, it means that the road ahead after our termination will be very smooth."  Sister Yun shook her fist at Xu Yu.

Sister Yun was superstitious occasionally, but this time Xu Yu chose to believe her.

Because of this phone call, the two people's moods and the atmosphere became better.

Ten minutes after the call ended, the email was sent over. Sister Yun checked the email account and confirmed that it was the working email address of JSS.

The appointment was set for three o'clock in the afternoon. There was still some time. Sister Yun looked at the route in advance and then went downstairs to buy a bottle of hairspray to help Xu Yu get his hair done.

"Well," said Sister Yun, putting down the bottle and looking at Xu Yu's hair and face, "who is this beautiful man? Oh, my god, he is so handsome. Who can stand it?"

Xu Yu laughed, "No need for that."

There was no further delay. They set out ahead of time and arrived downstairs 15 minutes earlier.

The front desk has been informed, and the two walked over before they could even ask, the person at the front desk politely told them how to go upstairs.

They said thank you and went upstairs.

On the 18th floor, they turned a corner through the corridor and arrived at the door of the meeting room. Sister Yun checked her mailbox and nodded to Xu Yu, "Yes, it's here."

Before entering, Sister Yun helped Xu Yu tidy his hair. 

Sister Yun: "OK."

Xu Yu nodded and smiled at Sister Yun. 

Sister Yun frowned and shook her head. "You’re so handsome."

Xu Yu smiled helplessly.

Xu Yu went to the door first and knocked. A second later, there was a very deep voice: "Come in."

Xu Yu stepped forward and pushed the door open.

He looked at the people inside with a smile for a second.

Xu Yu: "...?"

Xu Yu stepped back and closed the door again.

Xu Yu: I pretend I do not see.
