Host! I told you to do a task! I didn't tell you to bbb.

Lu Xingchen nodded, connected his phone to the office speakers, and pressed play.

Her clear and bright voice flowed out with the melody, and the vibrato in the chorus was more lively than the previous version.

Liu Yunshu tapped the table lightly with her fingertips in rhythm, a smile gradually spreading across her eyes.

He spoke only after the melody had faded:

"Great progress. The chorus is much more natural than before, and the breathy vocals perfectly match the delicate emotions in the lyrics."

Upon receiving affirmation, Lu Xingchen's eyes lit up, a smile appeared on his lips revealing shallow dimples, and his tone was full of joy:

"Really? I practiced it several times this morning, but I was always worried that I wouldn't have handled it well enough."

"Um,"

Liu Yunshu nodded, her fingertips tracing the music arrangement scheme on the tablet.

"However, the arrangement is still a bit of a drag; I'll have someone adjust it later."

"Okay! I'll do whatever Sister Yunshu says."

Lu Xingchen obediently agreed, his eyes full of trust as he looked at Liu Yunshu.

Shen Hanzhou, sitting in the corner, felt a pang of unease. He flipped through the documents in his hands, making a loud rustling sound, deliberately trying to get his attention.

He glanced at Lu Xingchen sideways, cursing inwardly: What's with the act of being obedient? It's just singing a lousy song, why are you so eager for praise?

Liu Yunshu seemed not to hear the deliberate noise and reached out her hand to Lu Xingchen.

He subconsciously squatted down and gently rested his head against her palm, like a docile little animal.

A hint of a smile flashed in Liu Yunshu's eyes. She gently ruffled his hair with her fingertips, her tone soothing:

"Don't rush, take your time, the finished product will definitely be outstanding."

Lu Xingchen's cheeks flushed slightly as she gently stroked the top of his head.

He gently rubbed his hand against hers, his eyes filled with joy and dependence.

"Yes! I will definitely practice hard."

Sister Yunshu is so gentle~ If only...

A thought quietly popped into Lu Xingchen's mind, and the temperature on his cheeks rose a few degrees.

She quickly lowered her eyelashes, concealing the shyness in her eyes, and whispered:

"I'll go practice singing now, and I'll come back for a rehearsal once the arrangement is finalized."

"Go ahead," Liu Yunshu said gently, withdrawing her hand.

Lu Xingchen, holding his guitar, walked briskly out of the office.

The office fell silent instantly, except for the rustling sound of Shen Hanzhou flipping through documents, which was even louder than before.

Liu Yunshu looked up at him and saw that Shen Hanzhou had his back to her, his shoulders taut.

A hint of a smile flashed in her eyes as she deliberately asked, "Assistant Shen, how's the progress? Fifteen minutes left."

Shen Hanzhou turned around abruptly, his eyes filled with lingering displeasure and jealousy.

"What's with the rush! There's so much data, how can we possibly finish organizing it in half an hour? Are you deliberately making things difficult for me?"

Liu Yunshu raised an eyebrow, put down the tablet in her hand, and slowly walked to his desk.

She leaned down and gently placed her palms on the edge of the table.

His gaze swept over the pile of documents that were only half-organized, and then fell on his tense profile and reddened ear tips.

"Is Assistant Shen being coquettish?"

"Who, who's being cute!"

Shen Hanzhou suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with a flustered stubbornness, like a child whose secret had been exposed.

"You gave us too little time, and the information was so disorganized; you were deliberately making things difficult for us!"

His voice carried a hint of barely perceptible grievance, and even the tip of his nose was slightly red, completely losing his previous arrogant demeanor.

Looking at his hypocritical expression, Liu Yunshu's eyes almost overflowed with laughter.

"Still saying you weren't being affectionate? Look at this hypocrite."

Liu Yunshu reached out and lifted his chin, gently stroking the lines of his jaw, her tone overflowing with indulgence.

"If you don't have enough time, you can say so. Why get worked up over the data?"

Shen Hanzhou froze, staring blankly at the face so close to his, his heart pounding like a drum.

The stubbornness in her eyes gradually faded into helplessness and confusion, and even the blush on her ear tips spread to her cheeks.

"I..." he managed to squeeze out a single word, his voice so hoarse that he couldn't even hear himself clearly.

Looking at him like this, Liu Yunshu's smile deepened.

She slowly released her hand, her fingertips gently smoothing his slightly disheveled collar.

"We can organize the remaining materials this afternoon."

She straightened up, her tone regaining some of its composure, yet still carrying a hint of gentleness.

"Come with me to the conference room first. There's an artist contract review meeting at 10 o'clock."

Shen Hanzhou was stunned for a moment, still not recovered from his daze.

He only snapped back to reality when Liu Yunshu turned and walked towards the door.

Her ears burned as she muttered "Damn it" under her breath, but she still quickly stood up and followed.

But as he walked, he couldn't help but glance at Liu Yunshu's back.

The image of her hooking her chin in his hand kept replaying in his mind, and his heart was pounding wildly.

The conference room was already full of people. When Liu Yunshu entered, everyone stood up to greet her.

When their gazes fell upon Shen Hanzhou behind her, they all showed expressions of surprise, and whispers rose and fell among them.

Shen Hanzhou felt uncomfortable under their gaze, but he still calmly raised his chin, adopting an arrogant posture.

Liu Yunshu naturally noticed the gazes of the crowd, but she didn't care at all.

He walked straight to the head of the table and sat down, pointing to the empty seat next to him: "Assistant Shen, sit here."

As soon as Shen Hanzhou sat down, he felt an exceptionally intense gaze.

He turned his head and saw Lu Xingchen, whom he had just seen in the office.

The boy held a pen in his hand, his eyes filled with curiosity and a hint of wariness, like a little animal guarding its food.

Shen Hanzhou snorted and deliberately raised an eyebrow at him, a hint of provocation in his eyes.

Lu Xingchen gripped the pen tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white, but he looked at Liu Yunshu with a pitiful expression.

Liu Yunshu gave him a reassuring look, then tapped the table lightly with her fingertips. "The meeting is starting."

Seeing this, Shen Hanzhou cursed inwardly, "You damn green tea!"

He deliberately moved closer to Liu Yunshu, leaning back lazily in his chair.

Lu Xingchen watched as Liu Yunshu deliberately moved closer to him, then lowered his eyes to hide the bitterness welling up inside.

His knuckles tightened, and the pen tip unconsciously drew a few messy marks on the notebook.

Shen Hanzhou caught a glimpse of Lu Xingchen's tense profile out of the corner of his eye, and a smug smile appeared on his lips. The frustration in his heart finally dissipated a little.

Once the meeting started, Liu Yunshu instantly switched to work mode.

His tone was calm and professional, and he analyzed the risks in the contract terms in a clear and organized manner.

He occasionally offers suggestions for revision, each word a gem, radiating confidence and charisma.

Shen Hanzhou was initially somewhat perfunctory.

But looking at her profile as she worked intently and listening to her resounding words, I found myself unconsciously captivated.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the conference room, falling on her hair and softening even her cold profile.

As Shen Hanzhou watched, a strange emotion inexplicably arose in his heart, as if something was quietly sprouting from the ground.

Although I didn't understand many of the technical terms, I felt a strange sense of admiration for Liu Yunshu as she handled things with ease.

After the meeting, everyone left one after another.

Before leaving, Lu Xingchen went to Liu Yunshu's side and whispered, "Sister Yunshu, I'll come find you again this afternoon after I've finished revising the arrangement."

After speaking, she glanced at Shen Hanzhou, as if to assert her dominance.

Shen Hanzhou chuckled and was about to retort when Liu Yunshu interrupted him: "Okay, I understand."

After Lu Xingchen left, Liu Yunshu looked at Shen Hanzhou with a smile in her eyes: "Assistant Shen, how did you like the meeting just now?"

"That's all there is to it." Shen Hanzhou turned his face away, stubbornly saying, "A bunch of boring terms, what's so interesting about them?"

Liu Yunshu could easily see through his insincerity, chuckled softly, and turned to walk towards the door.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the staff cafeteria for a meal, and you can try our company's food."

Shen Hanzhou was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously followed suit, but his words were sharp and sarcastic.

"Who cares about eating at your company's restaurant? I'm just... casually checking out your employees' benefits."

"Yes, yes, Young Master Shen is here to inspect the meals." Liu Yunshu turned to look at him, her smile barely concealed.

Shen Hanzhou felt his ears burning from her gaze. He stiffened his neck and turned his face away, but didn't slow down, following closely behind her.

The staff canteen was bustling with noise, but as soon as the two entered, the noisy atmosphere instantly quieted down, and all eyes turned to them.

Liu Yunshu went straight to the window to order food, with Shen Hanzhou following behind her.

Looking at the dazzling array of dishes in the window, I was somewhat at a loss.

He had never had to queue up for meals before, not even as a child.

Liu Yunshu turned her head and caught a glimpse of his stiff expression. A hint of a smile flashed in her eyes, and she took the initiative to ask:

"What would you like to eat? Sweet and sour pork ribs or steamed fish?"

"casual."

Shen Hanzhou turned his face away, feigning indifference, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Yunshu ordered the food, picked up her tray, and found a seat by the window.

Shen Hanzhou followed her over and sat down opposite her.

Just as she picked up her chopsticks, she saw Lu Xingchen carrying a plate and walking over, his eyes filled with expectation: "Sister Yunshu, may I sit here?"

Before Shen Hanzhou could refuse, Liu Yunshu nodded and said, "Please sit down."

Lu Xingchen immediately smiled and happily sat down next to Liu Yunshu, even moving a little closer to her.

As he served food to Liu Yunshu, he spoke softly about the details of his morning singing practice, his tone full of dependence.

Shen Hanzhou watched with a burning desire, his chopsticks shoving into the rice with a loud "thump, thump" sound.

Liu Yunshu glanced at him, her smile barely concealed, but she didn't say anything, only occasionally echoing Lu Xingchen's words.
