Five years without pregnancy means you're too weak; I remarried a powerful man and had triplets

Although Su Manman wasn't an editor, she had been on set for so long that she knew it was absolutely impossible for Shen Zhiyi to finish by 5:30.

She gave such a harsh timeframe simply because she wanted to see the girl panic and cry, begging for mercy.

She imagined herself as a high and mighty Guanyin Bodhisattva, able to decide life and death with a wave of her hand, which was one of the reasons why she was determined to attach herself to Xu Zhesheng.

The director is the most authoritative person on set!

She's had enough of being a small-time actress; all she wants is power!

In addition, Shen Zhiyi occupied her bed at noon, so she was determined to teach her a lesson!

Without even looking up at her question, Shen Zhiyi replied calmly, "It hasn't started yet."

His unhurried attitude made Su Manman's smile freeze.

"It...it hasn't started yet? What have you been doing all day?"

"Shen Zhiyi, did you do this on purpose?"

She spoke very softly the last sentence, so softly that only she and Shen Zhiyi could hear it.

"Ms. Su, not everyone is as free as you. I have a lot to do every day and can't be around you all the time. If you're not satisfied, you can ask Director Xu to let someone else cut your hair."

Shen Zhiyi said.

There is more than one editor on set; each person has their own dedicated editor.

As the chief editor, Shen Zhiyi didn't actually need to assign individual editing tasks to each person. She only needed to review the final cut and the overall effect.

But not long after filming began, Xu Zhesheng personally approached her, saying that Su Manman had powerful connections and that for the sake of the film, he hoped she could do a special editing job for her.

Shen Zhiyi never says no to his requests, as long as they aren't too unreasonable.

Therefore, she agreed.

Her workload increased, but her salary didn't increase at all, yet she didn't complain.

She used to think that she should suffer some losses for Xu Zhesheng, but now that he has betrayed her first, why should she continue to make sacrifices?

Not only do they have to increase her workload, but they also have to control her time. Shen Zhiyi is not a servant, how can she give orders like this?

"you!"

Su Manman not only didn't see Shen Zhiyi bowing to her, but also received such an answer, which made her so angry that she wanted to slam her fist on the table and get up. However, there were so many people around, and she didn't dare to lose her temper here.

"But didn't you promise me at noon...?"

"If you have any objections, you can raise them on the spot. Why did you promise and now tell me you can't do it? Ms. Shen, I never expected you to be such an unprofessional person!"

Su Manman's eyes darted around, and she began to find fault from another angle.

At this time, Xu Zhesheng also finished checking today's shooting. With Shen Zhiyi's guidance, he was very satisfied with both the lighting and the details.

Therefore, the resentment that I had towards Shen Zhiyi at noon has mostly dissipated by now.

Shen Zhiyi's professional competence is indeed beyond doubt.

He noticed Su Manman standing in front of Shen Zhiyi, looking aggrieved and seemingly saying something, so he walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"

Upon seeing Xu Zhesheng, Su Manman leaned towards him as if her spine had been removed: "Zhesheng, Sister Zhi clearly agreed to my request at noon, and it's already five o'clock, but she told me she hasn't started editing my video yet, so there's no way I'll see it today!"

"I don't care about anything else, but this is work! How can she be so careless!"

As she spoke, her eyes reddened, and she looked incredibly pitiful.

Shen Zhiyi remained seated, showing no remorse whatsoever in the face of Su Manman's complaint.

"Director Xu, you are the director, you should know how busy I am. 5:30 is too rushed, I can't finish. If you mind, I can find someone to be in charge of Su Manman's editing, or I can quit everything else and just focus on editing her all day."

When Xu Zhesheng met Shen Zhiyi's eyes, he suddenly felt a jolt in his heart and subconsciously pushed away Su Manman, who was leaning closer, to create distance between them.

However, Shen Zhiyi was in charge of editing Su Manman's scenes, which he had promised Su Manman long ago. Moreover, Shen Zhiyi's editing skills from the source material and AI were more reliable than others. If he were to change people now, who knows what trouble might arise later.

He could not agree to change the editor.

As for other matters...

Xu Zhesheng frowned. He knew Shen Zhiyi had a lot on her plate, but he believed that the workload he gave her was within a reasonable range. He had given her even more before, and she hadn't said anything. Why was she making a fuss today?

He looked deeply into her eyes and felt that she was still throwing a tantrum.

But she has threatened him silently far too many times from yesterday to today.

Xu Zhesheng felt that if things continued like this, Shen Zhiyi would become lawless.

He frowned: "Shen Zhiyi, editing is your job. Besides, you already promised Manman at noon, so you should have kept your word. It's too late today, but this is a one-time exception. Starting tomorrow, no matter what important things you have, Manman's editing must come first. Do you understand?"

His attitude was equally unyielding.

"If you promise something, are you obligated to keep it?"

Shen Zhiyi lowered her head, seemingly pondering the words.

Her thoughts seemed to drift back to many years ago, to when Xu Zhesheng married her. At that time, his feelings for her weren't very intense, but since he had already married her, he had made a promise to her.

"Zhizhi, now that I've married you, I will never do anything to hurt you. From now on, I will learn to love you and treat you as my wife and my responsibility. I will never cheat on you, so you can rest assured."

He spoke with absolute certainty back then, and Shen Zhiyi has always kept those words deeply in her heart. Because of this, she has never doubted him over the years.

But now, not only is he cheating on me, he's also showing off his pregnant mistress in front of me.

She tapped her hands absentmindedly on the table, and her sleeves rode up slightly with her movements, revealing the marks from when she was pinched at noon.

The area had turned from red to purple, and her already pale skin looked particularly eerie.

She glanced at it and felt utterly ironic. From yesterday's heartbreak to today's physical injuries, it was all his doing.

Why can't he keep his promise?

If Shen Zhiyi had been holding back her anger since noon, wanting to make Xu Zhesheng and Su Manman unhappy, then now she had lost all her strength.

"I understand."

She answered.

Xu Zhesheng kept staring at her, and with her movements, he clearly saw the injury on her wrist. His pupils suddenly contracted. He was indeed a little anxious at that time, and he did not control his strength well, but he really did not expect it to be so bruised.

He seemed to want to say something; his lips moved, but in the end, he didn't utter a word.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

A somewhat unfamiliar voice came from behind, causing both Shen Zhiyi and Xu Zhesheng to look up at the same time.

Lu Zichuan, dressed in a black casual outfit, was leaning against a pillar. His gaze fell on the redness and swelling on Shen Zhiyi's wrist. His gaze deepened for a moment, but then vanished just as quickly.
