Shi Luoqi's meeting with Zhou Lan lasted about an hour.
An hour later, the two women emerged from Shi Luoqi's office, their conversation and laughter still in the air.
Shi Luoqi personally escorted Zhou Lan to the door, an act witnessed by two passing staff members who spread the word.
Various rumors spread through the crew like startled little mice scattering in every direction.
Zhou Yun was waiting for Zhou Lan at the hotel.
When Zhou Lan arrived, Zhou Yun was lounging on a long chair reading a book, bathed in sunlight streaming through the window, looking very much like springtime.
"You sure look comfortable and at ease," Zhou Lan commented with a laugh as she walked in.
Zhou Yun put down the book and said, "What else can I do? Have you met with Shi Luoqi yet?"
