"Hello, I'm Milan." She stood up, her slender figure like poetry and the distance, giving people a unique sense of beauty. She smiled at Xu Yuanmo, as if she had already regarded him as an old friend.

"Xixi," Xu Yuanmo walked up to Chu Xixi and introduced her, "You have also heard of Milan's name, right? She is the most outstanding drama director of this era and also a popular pop singer."

Chu Xixi was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Xu Yuanmo, and then looked at Milan, her eyes full of surprise. "Milan, you are..."

"Yes, I am the 'two-faced goddess'. I can sing and I can direct." Milan raised her eyebrows slightly, and her provocative eyes lingered on Chu Xixi's face. "I hope you can be a part of our drama."

Chu Xixi was speechless. How could the woman in front of her be the drama director who always hid under her coat and hat as she imagined? She looked away from Milan and looked at Xu Yuanmo blindly. She could only find a calm and indifferent expression on his face.

A sour feeling surged up from the depths of her heart to her throat and flooded her eyes. Chu Xixi stood up suddenly and said, "I need some time."

She left the private room and hurried to the toilet of the cafe. She washed herself in front of the mirror, and then the girl who had been randomly collecting her broken emotions calmed down.

This is undoubtedly a life challenge for her. She has to abandon the past and look at this world that is becoming unfamiliar with her from a new perspective. However, no matter what difficulties she faces, she will face them with strength.

She has always been tough enough.

Chu Xixi walked into the room, her voice and eyes revealing irrepressible excitement, as if she had seen an opportunity to break free from the shackles of the past.

Xu Yuanmo curled his lips, and seeing Chu Xixi being moved, he also felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. He knew that the director's talent and influence would definitely bring Chu Xixi new opportunities in her career.

Just as Chu Xixi was immersed in this moving atmosphere, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped. The woman slowly turned around, with a bright smile on her face, as if she could light up the whole room.

"Hello, my name is Milan." The woman stretched out her hand, and her voice was as sweet as her piano.

Chu Xixi responded hurriedly and held the soft hands: "Hello, my name is Chu Xixi." She could feel that this woman named Milan was no ordinary character.

"We finally meet, Miss Chu. Your story is admirable, and your tenacity is equally moving." The woman's praise was natural and sincere, which made Chu Xixi feel very warm.

"Thank you, but sometimes perseverance can also mean helplessness with nowhere to escape." Chu Xixi smiled, but there was an unspeakable bitterness in her heart.

"Sometimes, if you view a difficult situation as a play and imagine yourself as the master of the story, you will find that even an ant trying to shake a tree is full of fun. It is a game of gambling with fate." Milan's words were like a mysterious power, which made Chu Xixi feel that the pain in her heart seemed to be alleviated a little.

"Really? Sounds interesting." Chu Xixi's eyes were shining, and she could feel her anticipation for the future.

"So, Miss Chu, are you willing to be the heroine of my next play? Your experience is so exciting, I am sure that you will be the most dazzling person under the spotlight!" Milan's invitation made Chu Xixi's heart surge and it was really hard to resist.

"I do!" Chu Xixi had almost no hesitation, because she knew that this might be the key to reopening the door of her destiny.

When leaving the cafe, the sunset had completely sunk below the horizon, replaced by the bright lights on the street. Chu Xixi took a deep breath. This scene and this voice undoubtedly gave her a brand new revelation. An unprecedented inspiration began to arise in her heart...

Chu Xixi followed Xu Yuanmo into the private room, her heart beating faster due to nervousness. The beautiful singing voice came out gracefully, as if it had a kind of magic that made people want to find out more. The woman's back looked so elegant, and every movement exuded a charming glow.

The woman noticed the movement behind the door, slowly turned around, and her crystal clear eyes met Chu Xixi's. At that moment, Chu Xixi felt her heartbeat stop.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Chu, the rising star of our CR Group?" The woman laughed sarcastically, with a hint of contempt on her lips, breaking the previous tranquility, "Who is this person next to you?"

Xu Yuanmo took a step forward, his voice calm and firm: "I'm Xu Yuanmo, from CR Group."

A hint of surprise flashed across the woman's eyes, and then she regained her composure. She clapped her hands gracefully, with a hint of amusement in her smile: "Oh, so you are a big shot in the group. I am Milan, please give me your guidance."

Although Milan's attitude seemed peaceful, anyone could sense the provocation in it. Chu Xixi sensed the change in the atmosphere, and she knew that today's meeting would never be a simple gathering.

Xu Yuanmo stared at Milan, as if he was measuring her. Finally, he spoke and said, "We are here to discuss cooperation, not to fight. I hope Miss Milan can take it seriously."

Milan chuckled, and said frivolously: "Oh, discussing cooperation, I almost forgot. But do you think that with my current status, I will still be interested in the so-called cooperation of your CR Group?"

Chu Xixi frowned, and just as she was about to speak, Xu Yuanmo gently pulled her hand, signaling her not to be impulsive. Then he replied calmly: "Maybe you are not interested in our CR Group's cooperation proposal now, but we have an offer that you cannot refuse."

Milan's expression froze slightly, and her brows knitted slightly, as if she was curious about Xu Yuanmo's words. She stared at Xu Yuanmo, and after a moment of silence, she slowly spoke: "Oh? Really? Then I really want to know, what do you have to attract me."

Xu Yuanmo smiled slightly, as if he had anticipated Milan's reaction. He slowly took out a folder and pushed it in front of Milan. "Inside, there are our detailed plans and conditions. I believe you will be interested in some of the contents."

Chu Xixi looked at Xu Yuanmo in front of her. His calm and confident appearance made her feel a little respectful. At the same time, she was also full of anticipation for what was about to happen.

Milan slowly opened the folder, and as she flipped through it, her expression became more and more complicated. Until the last page, her fingers suddenly stopped. She looked up at Xu Yuanmo, with a hint of shock in her eyes...

Xu Yuanmo looked at the woman in front of him. She sat in front of the black and white piano keys, her face focused and decent. The cuffs of her shirt flowed with her fingers, forming delicate folds. The back of the chair behind her was like the fulcrum of the piano, helping her to play delicately in silence.

Chu Xixi's eyes suddenly became uneasy. She didn't know why Xu Yuanmo brought her to such a place, and she didn't expect to meet such a professional and free-spirited musician. In her heart, music and drama are her own gaps, and they are the parts that make her heartbroken.

The bright light illuminated half of the room, while the other corner was shrouded in darkness. It was at this junction of light and darkness that the woman stopped the song and turned to look at the two people at the door.

Xu Yuanmo smiled slightly, rolled up his sleeves, and walked over with gentle and powerful steps. The breeze blew across his shirt, and there was a sense of ease on his slightly serious face. He stood beside the piano, leaning stiffly against the back of the chair, with a subtle but clear expectation.

"Xixi, this is Milan. She is a very good director. I hope you can find back the part you once loved from her." Xu Yuanmo introduced in a calm tone.

Chu Xixi was in awe, unable to refuse, yet unsure whether she could accept. This challenge was something she had to face, because she had tried several times with that passion, but she could never forget it.

"Xixi, are you willing to try? Your life now should not be limited to that small stage, but should have your own world, which is a large, unpredictable, yet wonderful stage." Milan said lightly, his eyes looking out the window deep and charming.

Chu Xixi blinked and blurted out "I do." "Then, from tomorrow on, you will come here." Xu Yuanmo paused, and he patted Chu Xixi's shoulder happily, "That field needs you, Xixi."

Chu Xixi looked at Xu Yuanmo's brilliant smile, and unknown expectations and challenges surged in her heart. She picked up the thin bun on the piano cover, gathered it elegantly on the keyboard, and pressed it hard...

Until this moment, Chu Xixi had never felt a sense of pride that surged into her heart like a flood. It was the determination and strength to change her fate, to reverse the tragic ending, and to foreshadow a new life...

Some time ago, she suddenly saw an introduction of a famous director on a certain platform, and one of the comments on a play in the comment section attracted her. She was an orphan since childhood and had never seen her parents, so when she saw the description of a person's life experience in the comment section, she couldn't help but touch the softest part of her heart - the strong desire to know her own life experience.

So she impulsively sent a private message to the director, hoping to join his team. But she also knew that her idea was a bit naive, so she didn't hold out much hope after sending the private message.

After a while, when she almost forgot about it, the director actually replied to her. He said that he was preparing a new play about family and friendship, temporarily named "Meeting is Fate", and was selecting the heroine nationwide. The director felt that her image and temperament were very suitable for the role of the heroine in the play, so he was willing to give her a chance to audition.

At first, she couldn't believe her eyes until she had a video interview with the director and was sure it was true.

She couldn't explain why the director was willing to give such an important role to her, a newcomer with no acting experience, but when she saw director Milan, dressed in a neat suit and sitting calmly in front of the camera, she seemed to understand everything.

She didn't know how she left the cafe, but the melodious and touching monologue was like a ray of sunshine in winter, warm and bright, touching the softest part of her heart.

"You...you already knew that."

Faced with Xu Yuanmo's questioning, Chu Xixi became even more panicked in an instant.

Her mind was racing, and she suddenly remembered the "amazing news" that the fake bag she bought for five dollars in a second-hand luxury goods group a few days ago was identified as a genuine product by the group owner.

So she raised her eyes, pretending to be calm and met Xu Yuanmo's eyes, and said confidently: "Yes, I am here to buy a bag."

The sound gradually faded, and the image of the woman in the light was extremely clear. Her expression was calm, and the simple black dress highlighted her elegant temperament. Her eyes were like stars in the night sky, shining with a breathtaking light.

Chu Xixi swallowed, as if she was dragged into another world by the scene before her. Xu Yuanmo, why did he bring her to see this woman, a woman she had never seen before and had no contact with in her acquaintance?

The woman stopped playing the piano when she saw the two people coming in. She turned around gently, and there was a hint of admiration in her eyes when she looked at Xu Yuanmo. It was obvious that among the three of them present, Xu Yuanmo was the only one she respected.

There was a small round table on the open space next to the piano, and the table was piled with manuscripts. However, the woman did not look overwhelmed at all, but gave people the feeling of being experienced but still calm.

Xu Yuanmo introduced calmly, "Milan, this is Chu Xixi. Xixi, this is the famous drama director Milan."

The sound of Chu Xixi's heartbeat woke her up on the spot. A wave of surprise, like the surging waves, swept over her body - Milan, the director who once established his industry dominance with innovation, turned out to be like this.
