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

His matter-of-fact tone almost made Shen Zhiyi feel as if she had returned to the time when she had devoted herself to him wholeheartedly.

He spoke to her in the same tone back then.

But at the time, she never felt anything was wrong. She only thought about doing things well, making and editing the movie, and then accompanying him to do the movie promotion.

As long as his career improves and he's in a better mood, she feels it's all worthwhile.

But now, a sense of imbalance welled up inside her.

The words "there is nothing" were still deeply etched in her heart.

Over the years, everything she did was just what he was supposed to do; he never took it to heart.

So why should he come to her now that he's facing a problem?

"I'm sorry, Director Xu, the film has already been edited. You and Su Manman personally reviewed all the footage and said there were no problems. It also passed the review. The deadline has passed, and I am not responsible for after-sales service. Please find someone else."

Even though she was still angry, Shen Zhiyi maintained her composure and refused with reason and evidence.

However, Xu Zhesheng sneered after hearing this, "As the editor, you have an obligation to point out problems when they arise in the film, instead of just going through the motions to finish the job to please us. Besides, even if it was finished at the time and problems arose later, didn't you make changes before? Why can't you do it now?"

"Before, it was because you and I were husband and wife, and I wanted to see you well. So no matter how difficult or time-consuming it was, I was willing to do it because I wanted you to be happy."

"But now, I'm sorry, we're about to be strangers, and everything about you means nothing to me."

"Now, please open the door. I've finished get off work and it's my break time."

Shen Zhiyi said calmly.

Her voice was neither loud nor soft, but it sounded like thunder to Xu Zhesheng.

She used to be... truly wonderful. To elevate his films, she would work overtime until the early hours of the morning, alone in the editing room, meticulously crafting every frame and every line of dialogue. During the day, she would also participate in all his projects, from the positioning of each lighting technician to the emotions of the actors, offering her own ideas.

He used to find it troublesome, and sometimes he would even get impatient.

That's his movie, what right does she have to stand up and criticize?

Several times he refused to listen to her suggestions for revision, but she became stubborn when it came to work-related matters. Even if she filmed two versions at her own expense, she insisted on having all the staff come over to judge which version was better.

In fact, Xu Zhesheng already knew at that time that Shen Zhiyi's idea was better than his, but he was too proud to admit it.

This time, persuaded by Su Manman, he felt that he was the boss in the film shoot and why he should listen to Shen Zhiyi in everything. Therefore, he secretly dismissed her from her position. Surprisingly, she did not argue with him as before. He was happy, thinking that this time he could finally give full play to his strength.

He was very happy when the movie was released, thinking it would definitely fetch a good price.

However, Lu Zichuan's company's assessment dealt him a heavy blow, clearly stating that this approach was unacceptable.

He must change.

"Shen Zhiyi, don't give me any of that high-sounding advice. You edited this movie yourself. Your name is written in black and white on the final editing confirmation document, and it's also clearly stated in the contract that you have to take full responsibility if there are any problems, whether it's revisions or re-editing."

"Now the publicity team thinks the movie is bad, and all the clips from beginning to end are in your hands. I demand that you redo it."

Xu Zhesheng waved his hand, bringing out the contract to intimidate people.

He knew that Shen Zhiyi was the one who valued rules the most.

Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Shen Zhiyi frowned and pondered the truthfulness of his words.

Those contracts were all drafted by Xu Zhesheng. Back then, their interests were intertwined, and she trusted that he wouldn't harm her. Therefore, when he received them, he signed them directly without even reading them carefully.

She really didn't have any recollection of his proposal regarding follow-up responsibilities.

She used to do it willingly, but now she doesn't want to. However, if it's written in the contract, she seems to have no right to refuse.

She pursed her lips but didn't agree immediately. She looked into Xu Zhesheng's eyes and said, "If the contents of the contract are true and have legal effect, then no problem, I can do it."

"But now, you haven't provided anything, so I don't trust you."

"If there are any problems, you can bring the contract directly to Jiangxing tomorrow, and we'll take a good look at it together with President Lu to see if this contract is valid."

A glint flashed in Xu Zhesheng's eyes.

Unexpectedly, Shen Zhiyi has become smarter in such a short time since they separated.

She used to believe everything he said.

"You don't believe me at all now, only that guy surnamed Lu?"

His voice rose slightly, tinged with disbelief and annoyance:

"What kind of mind-control drug did he give you to make you trust him so much?"

"Shen Zhiyi, you've been with me for the past ten years!"

Xu Zhesheng's voice rose slightly.

"It's because I've been with you for ten years that I realize there were signs that you've become the way you are today!"

"I've exhausted all my energy over the past ten years!"

Shen Zhiyi retaliated without backing down:

"Recently, I've come to see you more clearly as someone who will stop at nothing to achieve his goals. I no longer dare to, and am unwilling to, trust you."

"President Lu has helped me many times, he would never harm me."

"That's it. If he tells me tomorrow that the contract clearly states that I am obligated to revise the subsequent editing, then I will revise it."

"If not, I'm sorry, you'll have to find someone else."

After saying that, Shen Zhiyi was about to close the door.

However, Xu Zhesheng's hands were still firmly gripping the door frame.

A flash of impatience crossed Shen Zhiyi's eyes, and her voice turned completely cold: "Take your hand away!"

Xu Zhesheng bit his lip and looked intently at Shen Zhiyi.

The hand gripping the door frame tightened unconsciously, the knuckles turning white.

"I will take the contract to him tomorrow, but you must cut out a version for me tonight. Time waits for no one. If the publicity period is delayed, all losses will be deducted from your share of the property."

"Xu Zhesheng, is this your first time editing a movie? You expect me to finish editing a two-hour-plus film in one night?"

Shen Zhiyi almost laughed out of anger at him, and seeing how anxious he was, she knew what was going on.

That contract definitely doesn't contain the clause he mentioned.

He's just bluffing her now.

"Besides, let me tell you clearly and plainly, I will not cut a single second or even a single frame of your film until I confirm that the contract is genuine. If you are in a hurry, you can find someone else, or you can hire me to cut it for you at market price. But are you just looking to get something for free?"

She looked at him with icy eyes and said, word by word, "Sorry, it's impossible."
