Shen Huai had a few rare moments of peace, but Chu Meibo could rest on the sidelines. As her manager, he didn't have that right, since that was part of her job, and many connections were built up during these kinds of times.
So he only stayed there for a short while before returning to the social scene.
Once away from Chu Meibo, Du Yuping reverted to her talkative nature.
Shen Huai, mindful that this was a senior, could only exercise more patience.
Fortunately, after talking for a while, Du Yuping got a little bored because no one responded, so he started drifting around again.
Compared to Ye Cang and Chu Meibo, he wasn't too obsessed with being resurrected. Anyway, floating around was quite fun. The only downside was that he couldn't leave Shen Huai's side by more than five meters, which made him a little depressed. But his range of activities had expanded a lot, and maybe he could even go on a trip with him in the future.
Du Yuping was envisioning the future, while Shen Huai finally found some peace and quiet and seized the opportunity to start socializing.

Morden Hotel, 16th floor, Presidential Suite.
Song Yimian struggled to open his eyes and found himself lying on a large bed in a hotel. His expression changed, and he tried to get up, but his body went limp and he fell back down.
His previous memories slowly returned to his mind.
After his falling out with Hua Rong, he went to prepare for his new film. Unexpectedly, Hua Rong called him again, saying she wanted to discuss renewing his contract. Song Yimian thought about how good Hua Rong had been to him since he joined the company, and feeling a little soft-hearted, he returned to the company.
However, he was still somewhat wary. If Hua Rong was too enthusiastic towards him, he would probably be more cautious. But when he arrived at the company, Hua Rong did not see him immediately, but instead asked him to wait outside.
Hua Rong used to like using this method to intimidate Song Yimian, who was used to it and didn't care.
He waited in the meeting room for several hours, and feeling a bit thirsty, he took a sip of water that his assistant had poured for him. Not long after, he fainted.
When I woke up again, I was in this place.
Now that things had come to this, Song Yimian had guessed what had happened, and his face showed anger and resentment.
Even when Hua Rong scolded him, refused to sign him, and scoffed at his dreams, he had never hated her like this. His more than twenty years of docility seemed to have vanished in this moment.
He pinched his thigh hard, the pain bringing him back to his senses.
Song Yimian was panting heavily, and he could faintly hear the sound of water in his ears. He dared not delay any longer and tried to get off the bed, but he fell heavily. Fortunately, there was a thick carpet on the floor, so he was not injured, but his arm still hit the cabinet next to him.
The pain struck, making him gasp, but it also made his mind even clearer.
Song Yimian stumbled to his feet and ran towards the door, knowing that if he could get out, he would be saved.
Just then, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"Trying to escape?"
Song Yimian was startled and turned around abruptly, only to see a man wearing a bathrobe walking out.
His height was similar to Song Yimian's, and his appearance was not bad either; in fact, he could be described as handsome. Although he was a bit overweight, he would be considered a successful person with good conditions in public. It was completely unexpected that he was doing such a thing in private.
Song Yimian bit his lip hard, using the pain to regain his senses, and said, "Mr. Guo... I didn't do it willingly. I was drugged. Please... call the police for me..."
"puff!"
President Guo laughed out loud, "Where did Hua Rong find this treasure? You're too naive! Don't you think I wouldn't know? Who would dare let you in without my permission?"
Song Yimian's heart sank, but he still insisted, "This is illegal..."
Mr. Guo laughed even more heartily: "I've done plenty of illegal things, it's not like I haven't done them before! -- Alright, stop nagging, just serve me well and I'll give you whatever resources you want..."
His words were interrupted by the small knife that Song Yimian took out.
This is the fruit knife that Song Yimian picked up from the table when he passed through the living room.
He pointed the knife at Boss Guo, his voice trembling, and forced himself to say, "If you come any closer, I'll get rough with you..."
"Oh! You're using a knife now?"
Unexpectedly, when President Guo saw this, he became even more excited: "It's good that you're not polite. I like it when you're not polite. What's the point of being too obedient? It's more interesting to have some personality..."
As he spoke, he lunged at Song Yimian.

The top floor, the celebration party for "Honey".
Shen Huai weaved through the crowd, with Du Yuping following beside him, chattering incessantly.
"Oh my! This must be an Australian lobster! Goodness, it's not cheap! Sigh, these people are really... If it were me, let me tell you, I could socialize and eat and drink without any problems. Not only could I meet people, but I could also eat my fill. That's a real art in social situations..."
Shen Huai turned a deaf ear.
"Ugh, this is so boring, you young people..."
Du Yuping was speaking when he suddenly fell silent.
Shen Huai thought the old man was tired and was about to rest for a while, but when he turned around, he found that Du Yuping had disappeared from his side at some point.
Shen Huai was taken aback, then realized something, and his expression immediately changed.
Chu Meibo, who was resting in the banquet hall, also stood up. Just a moment ago, she saw Du Yuping's soul suddenly disappear from the banquet hall.
The two exchanged a glance and realized that something was wrong.
Based on Shen Huai's experience, it is highly likely that another suicide occurred in the hotel, and Du Yuping has possessed him.
Shen Huai immediately apologized to everyone and walked out of the banquet hall. Chu Meibo followed him. The two entered the elevator, and Shen Huai pressed all the buttons while calling the hotel front desk.
