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

In the afternoon, Shen Zhiyi borrowed several books from Lu Zichuan, took them home, and immediately immersed herself in them.

Time always flies when you're reading. She was so engrossed in her annotations and insights that she didn't come to her senses until it got completely dark outside the window.

She had eaten too much at the rooftop at noon, so she didn't feel hungry at all and simply boiled two eggs to tide her over.

Looking up at the time again, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

She sent Tan Gui a message: "When are you coming back?"

There was still no response from the other end until she finished washing up and lay down in bed.

Shen Zhiyi vaguely sensed that something was going on with Tan Gui, but she hadn't slept well last night and was feeling sleepy, so she fell asleep before receiving a reply.

When Tan Gui woke up the next morning, her room was still empty.

But on the table was a breakfast package, from the steamed bun shop that only opens in the morning.

Shen Zhiyi reached out and touched the bun; it was still warm, indicating that Tan Gui had only been gone a short while.

As a close friend of many years, Shen Zhiyi knew Tan Gui's personality all too well. This person who could sleep until noon would never get up early to buy breakfast herself.

The only explanation is that she didn't come back last night at all, and I made a special trip back this morning to change my clothes and brought her breakfast.

Shen Zhiyi couldn't help but smile, and picked up her phone to send a message: "How was last night?"

It took a full ten minutes for them to reply with an emoji: a kitten sitting on the ground covering its mouth and giggling.

Shen Zhiyi understood immediately and quickly typed on the screen: "Let's talk in detail tonight."

After sending the message, she packed her things and prepared to go to work.

I spent the whole day reading yesterday, and every single one of them had Lu Zichuan's dense annotations.

It's like she not only read the original work but also the practical insights of a top professional, and the gains were much greater than she had expected.

Today is the perfect day to apply these new ideas to actual editing.

"bite"

The elevator stopped on her floor.

When the door opened, Shen Zhiyi was stunned for a moment.

Lu Zichuan was standing in the corner, wearing a tailor-made black suit that accentuated his sharp and upright shoulders, giving him a cool and elite aura.

This was the first time she had encountered him in the elevator.

"So early?" Lu Zichuan saw her, raised his hand and glanced at his watch. There was still an hour before work, and it only took twenty minutes to get to the company's Jiangxing Building from here.

Shen Zhiyi nodded and replied with a smile, "Yes, the subway is less crowded if you go earlier."

"Really?" Lu Zichuan glanced at her thoughtfully, then said, "If you don't mind, you can walk with me in the mornings from now on."

Shen Zhiyi was taken aback, then quickly waved her hand, "Isn't that inappropriate? If people at the company see this, they'll gossip."

"You can't stop other people from having opinions." Lu Zichuan's tone was calm, but it carried the arrogance of someone who had long held a superior position.

Shen Zhiyi thought about it for a while, but still felt it was inappropriate.

She's just a lowly employee, riding in the CEO's car to work every day? What kind of talk would that be?

Reversing the Heavenly Stems.

"Really, it's not necessary, thank you, Mr. Lu," she insisted.

Seeing her resolute attitude, Lu Zichuan didn't try to persuade her further, simply giving a faint "Mm": "Whatever you say."

Neither of them spoke again as the elevator descended.

Shen Zhiyi noticed out of the corner of her eye that Pei Jin was not with Lu Zichuan today.

However, when she left yesterday, Pei Jin was still on the top floor, so she must have gone back by herself last night.

Thinking of the two of them, a strange feeling welled up in her heart.

Given Lu Zichuan's status, is it possible that he can't even be openly and honestly with the person he likes?

"Oh, right," Lu Zichuan suddenly spoke, interrupting her thoughts, "Xu Zhesheng is coming to the company today to discuss the release arrangements for his movie. You..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Zhiyi already understood what he meant.

Avoid it.

She nodded: "Okay, I understand."

She has a lot of work to do today, and will spend most of her time in the editing room, so she probably won't run into Hsu Che-sheng.

Seeing that she understood, Lu Zichuan didn't say anything more.

The elevator reached the first floor, and Shen Zhiyi stepped out first, turning around to wave to Lu Zichuan: "Then I'll be going now."

"good."

Inside the elevator, Lu Zichuan nodded slightly, his gaze following her departing figure, his eyes deepening.

To improve efficiency, Shen Zhiyi had already made a list of the key projects to be promoted today while on the subway.

8:30 AM, official start of work.

She held a brief morning meeting, outlining the key points and division of labor for today's film editing.

These past few days, although her teammates still had some reservations about her sudden arrival, they could only swallow their grievances because she had casually modified a few shots last time and broken through the bottleneck that the team had been struggling with. Her strength was undeniable, and they could only keep quiet about it no matter how unwilling they were.

But today, Shen Zhiyi clearly felt that the atmosphere in the office was much more somber than usual.

No one raised any objections during the meeting, but as soon as the meeting ended, everyone gathered in twos and threes and whispered among themselves. She could also feel several malicious gazes sweeping over her from behind from time to time.

Her fingers paused slightly as she typed, and her brow furrowed slightly.

Just as she was wondering what was going on, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and Yang Chun'er stormed in angrily.

"Where's Shen Zhiyi?! Tell her to come out here!"

Her voice was high-pitched and shrill, particularly jarring in the quiet office area.

She was dressed in the latest Chanel suit and carrying a Hermès crocodile handbag. Her entire outfit was exquisitely tailored, and she looked every bit the pampered heiress.

But this demeanor doesn't seem like someone coming to find someone; it looks more like someone coming to beat up a mistress.

She called out, but her eyes were already precisely locked onto Shen Zhiyi's workstation.

She strode over, her high heels clicking, and slammed her expensive bag onto Shen Zhiyi's desk with a thud, looking down at her condescendingly.

"You, come out with me!"

Shen Zhiyi was reviewing materials and didn't look up: "I'm working right now. If you need anything, we can talk after I'm done."

Yang Chun'er was so angry at her attitude that she took a deep breath, but she wasn't annoyed. She casually pulled over a chair and sat down with an air of authority.

With his right foot crossed over his left and his arms crossed over his chest, he adopted a "I'm all in" stance.

"Okay, then I'll sit here and wait for you. Don't even think about slacking off!"

The two didn't spend much time together, but Shen Zhiyi knew that Yang Chun'er was beautiful but really silly, and sometimes her actions were so cute that they made people laugh.

Considering the way people looked at her at the company today and Yang Chun'er's angry arrival to confront her, Shen Zhiyi quickly came to her conclusion.

However, with her work at hand, Shen Zhiyi wasn't in a hurry to explain. She glanced at her colleagues who were still waiting for their scenes and said in a cold tone, "I don't care about the working hours of the generals, but if you don't finish the tasks I assigned you today before you leave work, then all of you will stay and work overtime."

"If you have any objections, you are welcome to confront me at any time. If you are still not satisfied, we can go directly to the HR manager or talk to General Manager Lu."
