Entertainment from Divorce

The warmth of the cozy weekend get-together still lingers as the gentle autumn sun unveils a new week.

On a Monday in September, the air was crisp and cool, the leisurely laziness of the weekend had faded, and the whole city was back to its fast-paced work rhythm.

The headquarters building of Brilliant Entertainment also lit up early, welcoming a busy workday.

At 7:30 a.m., Tan Yue and Chen Ziyu got up on time, and a hot breakfast had already been prepared at home.

The two elderly people looked after the little one, while the couple ate their meal quietly, occasionally chatting about their work schedule for the day; the atmosphere was peaceful and warm.

After breakfast, the two changed into smart business attire and drove to the company together. The black sedan drove smoothly through the morning mist, heading towards the dazzling headquarters.

Tan Yue was still wearing a well-tailored dark suit, his posture was upright, and he exuded the calm and composed aura unique to a CEO.

Chen Ziyu wore a hazy blue suit skirt, her long hair was neatly tied into a low bun, and her makeup was exquisite and appropriate. Her excellent postpartum recovery was evident. She exuded both the competence of a working woman and the gentle temperament. She showed no signs of being a novice who had just returned to the public eye. Instead, she appeared more composed and confident than before.

The car drove into the company's underground parking lot, and the two got out side by side, walking towards the elevator in tacit agreement.

Along the way, they encountered employees arriving at their posts one after another. Everyone greeted them respectfully, their eyes full of respect. The couple responded with gentle nods, showing no airs whatsoever.

Since Chen Ziyu's return, the atmosphere in the company has become more harmonious. Senior management performs their duties, and grassroots employees are full of enthusiasm. The whole building exudes an orderly and energetic atmosphere.

Upon arriving at the top-floor office area, the two parted ways in the corridor and went to their respective offices.

"Call me anytime if anything comes up this morning," Tan Yue whispered.

Chen Ziyu smiled and nodded, then turned and pushed open her office door to begin her Monday workday.

Tan Yue entered the president's office, where his assistant Chen Ye had already prepared the day's documents and meeting schedule, neatly arranged on the desk, along with a cup of warm tea.

"Mr. Tan, these are the documents that each department submitted urgently over the weekend, as well as the schedule for the department's online short meeting at 10:00 AM. In addition, Director Zheng from the film department said that he will come over this morning to discuss the final results of the script selection with you."

Chen Ye stood with perfect posture and spoke clearly as he reported on his work. He then quietly left the room, not wanting to disturb Tan Yue's work.

Tan Yue walked to his desk, sat down, rubbed his wrists, casually flipped to the top document, and quickly got into work mode.

Monday is always the busiest time of the week, with mountains of weekend summaries, weekly plans, pending approvals, and progress reports from various departments.

Fortunately, after Chen Tzu-yu returned, he took on most of the external cooperation affairs, and he only needed to coordinate the overall situation and control the core decisions, which greatly reduced the pressure compared to before.

He first quickly flipped through the weekly plans of each department, focusing on the core work arrangements of the program department, film department, and distribution department. When he encountered any questions, he immediately marked them with a red pen.

Then, I reviewed the revenue report and cost expenditure details submitted by the finance department last week, checked the data, and controlled the budget. I did everything meticulously and rigorously.

As the person in charge of the company, he knew that any small oversight could affect the progress of the project, so he never dared to slack off.

Meanwhile, in Chen Ziyu's office next door, she was also fully immersed in her work.

The desk was piled with recent cooperation agreements, invitations to industry events, and letters of contact with partners.

She first sorted out the priorities of the tasks, then replied to emails from overseas partners one by one, reviewed domestic cooperation agreements, and assigned work tasks to department employees. Her thinking was clear, her actions were efficient, and she was fully adapted to the pace of the workplace.

Just after finishing two cooperation agreements, the internal phone on my desk rang. It was Tan Yue calling.

"The industry association organized a business cooperation exchange meeting this morning. They just called again to confirm if you can attend," Tan Yue said gently, with a hint of concern.

“This is your first time attending a public event since your return. If you feel unwell or don’t want to travel, I can cancel it for you and have the deputy director attend in your place.”

This industry exchange meeting is a top-level business event in the industry, bringing together executives, partners, and investors from major film and entertainment companies.

This is not only a good opportunity to expand resources, but also an important occasion for Chen Ziyu to make a public appearance in the industry after officially returning to the workplace.

During Chen Ziyu's recovery period, these kinds of activities were originally handled by Tan Yue or other senior executives.

Now that she's back, the organizers specifically invited her to attend.

Holding the phone, Chen Ziyu said confidently and easily, "No need to push me. I'm ready. I'll take this opportunity to greet my industry partners and familiarize myself with the current industry trends. Don't worry, I'm in great shape and there won't be any problems."

The rest and work readjustment during this period have allowed her body and mind to recover to their best condition.

For her, this event was just a regular work schedule, and she felt no pressure at all.

Tan Yue sensed the composure in her tone, so he didn't try to persuade her any further. He simply gave her some careful instructions: "There will be a lot of people and things will be chaotic at the event, so please be careful. After the event, I'll have the driver take you directly to your room. If you feel tired, just call me anytime and I'll come pick you up."

"Okay, don't worry about your work, I'll be back soon." Chen Ziyu replied with a smile and hung up the phone.

She quickly organized the materials needed for the event, touched up her makeup briefly, picked up her handbag and briefcase, and went to Tan Yue's office to say hello.

Pushing open the door to the president's office, Tan Yue was reviewing documents with his head down. Looking up, he saw Chen Ziyu, who was all ready to go. He put down his pen and stood up: "Is everything ready? The driver is already waiting downstairs."

"Okay, I'm off. There are a few documents waiting to be signed in the office, I put them on the corner of the desk. If you have time, take a look at them for me. If not, you can wait for me to come back and handle them." Chen Ziyu walked to his side and said softly.

"Go ahead and don't worry, I'll take care of things here." Tan Yue straightened her clothes, his eyes full of trust.

"No need to rush back. You can rest for a while after the event and don't overexert yourself."

Seeing Chen Ziyu in excellent condition, his worries completely disappeared. His wife's competence and composure never required him to worry too much.

After giving a brief explanation, Chen Ziyu turned and left the company, then got into a car and headed to the event venue.

Watching her departing figure, Tan Yue withdrew his gaze, sat back down at his desk, and continued to bury himself in the work of various departments. Without the slightest distraction, his efficiency became even higher.

At 9:30 a.m., Zheng Tong, the director of the film department, arrived at the president's office on time, holding a well-organized script selection report, and began an in-depth discussion with Tan Yue. The two analyzed the feasibility of the three potential scripts selected, their production costs, market risks, and expected returns.

Tan Yue, drawing on his directing experience, offered targeted suggestions for revisions and shooting ideas.

Zheng Tong took careful notes, and the two hit it off immediately. They quickly finalized the project plan for a suspenseful crime script, while the team was tasked with further refining and optimizing the realistic script. The evaluation of the period drama script was postponed.

After seeing Zheng Tong off, Tan Yue convened a short online meeting for the department to hear work reports from the directors of each department, deploy the core tasks for the week, and coordinate and resolve inter-departmental collaboration issues. The meeting was efficient and compact, ending in just half an hour.

He then reviewed the agreements pending review that had been forwarded by the Department of International Cooperation. These agreements had all been preliminarily screened by Chen Ziyu and were rigorous and compliant with regulations. Tan Yue quickly signed and confirmed them before handing them over to Chen Ye for distribution.

After finishing the urgent work at hand, it was already past 11 a.m. Tan Yue rubbed his sore eyes, got up and walked to the French windows to stretch his body.

Sunlight streamed through the glass, warm and bright. Downstairs, the employees were busy and orderly, each performing their duties. Watching the company operate smoothly, he felt gratified.

He picked up his phone, checked the time, and figured Chen Ziyu's event should be halfway through.

Since I hadn't received any messages from her, it meant everything was going smoothly, so I didn't bother her. I simply had my assistant arrange lunch at the restaurant so that Chen Ziyu could have lunch with us when she returned.

Meanwhile, at the industry exchange meeting, Chen Ziyu handled various situations with composure and grace.

As soon as she arrived, she attracted the attention of everyone in the industry. Despite not having made a public appearance for a long time, she was still stunning. Her aura was calm and approachable. She chatted with executives and partners from various companies with ease, expanding resources and connecting cooperation intentions. Her speech was appropriate and her demeanor was generous, showing the style of the boss lady of Brilliant Entertainment.

Many industry insiders praised her for her excellent postpartum recovery and continued competence upon her return, to which Chen Tzu-yu responded gently.

In just one morning, not only were old cooperative relationships consolidated, but several new cooperation intentions were also finalized, yielding fruitful results.

Throughout the event, she showed no signs of fatigue and remained in top form, successfully completing her first public appearance since her comeback.

After the event ended at noon, the organizers hosted a banquet, but Chen Ziyu politely declined, thinking about her work at the company and her little one at home, and then took a car back to the company.

The driver drove smoothly.
Chen Ziyu sat in the back seat, not having a moment to spare. She took out her tablet and documents and used the time on the way to finish the work she hadn't completed that morning, reply to work messages, and review simple cooperation terms, making the most of her time.

Before they knew it, it was one o'clock in the afternoon. The car slowly drove into the headquarters of Brilliant Entertainment. Chen Ziyu straightened her clothes and documents, got out of the car and walked straight into the building, taking the elevator directly to the top floor.

Instead of returning to her own office first, she went to Tan Yue's president's office to report on the event.

Pushing open the office door, I found Tan Yue sitting on the sofa looking through documents. There were two packed lunches on the table, clearly waiting for me to come back.

Upon seeing Chen Ziyu enter, Tan Yue immediately put down his documents and stood up, his eyes filled with concern: "You're back. Are you tired? Did the event go smoothly?"

Chen Ziyu walked to the sofa and sat down. He took the warm water Tan Yue handed him, took a sip, and shook his head with a smile: "I'm not tired. The event went very smoothly. It was no different from before. It was just routine communication and networking within the industry. I met and chatted with old partners and also explored a few new cooperation intentions. There were no special circumstances."

Her tone was calm, as if this high-profile industry event was just a routine work meeting, without exaggerating her fatigue and difficulties.

"That's good. Hurry up and eat lunch, the food is getting cold." Tan Yue quickly opened the lunchbox, which contained her favorite light dishes.

"After you finish eating, go back to your office and rest for a while. Take a half-hour nap before dealing with your work. Don't push yourself too hard."

He felt sorry for her after running around all morning, and even though she said she wasn't tired, he wanted her to rest more.

Looking at her considerate husband, Chen Ziyu felt a surge of warmth in her heart, but she smiled and waved her hand, saying, "There's no need to take a special rest. I've already sorted out all the work I need to do this afternoon on the way here, and I've also reviewed the simple documents. The rest are just routine tasks that I can finish quickly without much effort."

She is always efficient and doesn't like to waste time. Plus, she's in really good shape and doesn't need any extra rest.

"Then eat slowly, don't rush." ​​Tan Yue had no choice but to go along with her and have lunch with her.

The couple chatted over their meal. Chen Ziyu briefly explained their cooperation intentions for the event, and Tan Yue listened attentively and offered suggestions. The lunch was both warm and efficient.

After lunch, Chen Ziyu returned to her office and, following the plan she had outlined on the way, handled her work methodically, coordinating resources for the event, compiling meeting minutes, and arranging follow-up work, all in a highly efficient and smooth manner.

Tan Yue continued to process the remaining documents and follow up on matters such as film project approval and program preparation. The afternoon passed quietly in his busy and fulfilling work.

At 6 p.m. sharp, the bell rang to signal the end of the workday, and employees in the top-floor office area left one after another, gradually quieting down the corridors.

After finishing the last document, Tan Yue tidied his desk and walked to Chen Ziyu's office door.

Chen Ziyu had just finished tidying up, turned off her computer, and picked up her handbag.

"You're off work now. Thank you for your hard work today." Tan Yue walked in with a smile and helped her pick up her briefcase.

"It's not tiring, you're the one who's been busy all day." Chen Ziyu stood up, took his arm, and the two walked out of the office side by side, taking the elevator downstairs.

As the sun sets and its afterglow spills across the streets, the rush hour traffic flows slowly. The couple sits in their car, relaxed and at ease, free from the tension of work.

"Today's event went so smoothly, we can compile the cooperation intentions later and have a meeting next week to refine them," Tan Yue said softly, gripping the steering wheel.

"Yes, I've already put together the first draft. I'll show it to you tomorrow," Chen Ziyu said, leaning back in the passenger seat with a relaxed tone.

“Actually, going back to work is great. It’s fulfilling and reassuring. My mom takes care of the little one at home, and we each do our part. Everything is just right.”

Tan Yue glanced at her sideways, a gentle smile playing on his lips: "As long as you're happy, don't overwork yourself."

The car drove smoothly towards home, the scenery outside the window slowly receding, and the busy day came to an end.

There are no earth-shattering twists and turns, only the stability of the workplace and the warmth between husband and wife. Monday's routine is ordinary but peaceful, which is the life they want most.

Returning home, the door opens to the adorable smile of my little one and the joyful laughter of my family. The fatigue of the workplace instantly vanishes, leaving only the warmth and peace of family reunion. (End of Chapter)
