"Do you know something about President Lu again?"

Assistant Wang slowly straightened his tie, deliberately put on a stern face, and put on a mysterious air, saying to Assistant Liu in suspense, "It's a secret that can't be revealed."

Assistant Liu's face, which had been beaming with gossip, instantly fell flat, like a puppy whose bone had been stolen: "Old Wang, after all these years of friendship, you wouldn't even tell me this little bit of inside information?"

Assistant Wang remained smiling, a meaningful curve at the corner of his mouth, but did not say a word.

It wasn't that he didn't want to say it, but seeing how smug President Lu was lately, he would probably make an official announcement on his own soon, so why should he say anything more?

He hasn't had much time to enjoy this exclusive gossip all to himself yet, so of course he'll save it for later and savor it all by himself.

Meanwhile, downstairs, on Shen Zhiyi's side...

She is usually gentle, but she has lost her temper before, especially on basic professional issues, where Shen Zhiyi takes things extremely seriously.

If someone makes even the most basic operational mistake while editing, she can berate them until they cry.

Today, when Lao Zhang, who is known for his professionalism, handed in the editing draft, Shen Zhiyi immediately noticed that he had delayed by two seconds in the most basic freeze-frame shot, a mistake that even a novice would not make.

Old Zhang had been serving in the military for five years. Today, he was so exhausted from taking care of his child who had a fever until midnight last night that he was momentarily distracted and didn't notice.

After being singled out by Shen Zhiyi, he was so ashamed that his old face turned a deep shade of liver color. He resigned himself to standing in front of her, waiting for the expected scolding.

However, the expected barrage of insults did not materialize.

Shen Zhiyi, on the other hand, patted his shoulder with a smile, her tone relaxed: "Old Zhang, this kind of mistake isn't something you would make. What happened yesterday? Look at your dark circles, they're almost drooping to your chin. Go back and fix this, get some rest tonight, and don't make this kind of silly mistake again tomorrow."

Old Zhang felt as if he had been granted a pardon. Clutching his edited video, he scurried back to his seat, still shaken.

Yang Chun'er, who had been watching from the sidelines the whole time, propped her chin up and looked Shen Zhiyi up and down for a while. Something was wrong. No matter how she looked at it, something was wrong.

Shen Zhiyi felt a chill run down her spine under her gaze and tentatively asked, "W-what's wrong?"

Yang Chun'er pulled her stool forward a few steps and leaned closer to ask, "Did you and Xu Zhesheng successfully divorce?"

"There are still three days left in the cooling-off period."

"So you've struck it rich?"

Shen Zhiyi thought that she would only truly become rich after divorcing Xu Zhesheng, so she shook her head.

"So, which super handsome guy asked for your WeChat last night?"

Shen Zhiyi was taken aback.

Lu Zichuan was indeed a super handsome guy, but they had already added each other on WeChat, so they shook their heads as well.

Hearing her denial, Yang Chun'er frowned even more, took another step closer, and carefully examined her.

Shen Zhiyi's face was rosy and glowed with a radiant sheen. Her already beautiful face was even more hydrated than usual, and she was captivating simply by sitting there.

Moreover, from the morning onwards, Shen Zhiyi had a smile on her face the whole time she was doing things. Whether she was eating or drinking, the smile never left her face, and it was clear that she was in a very good mood.

But she guessed several times and still couldn't guess right. Aren't there just a few things that make a woman happy?

Yang Chun'er tilted her head and suddenly blurted out a question that would scare Shen Zhiyi half to death: "So you're in a relationship?"

Shen Zhiyi paused, her pen still in her hand, the smile on her lips almost flying away in fright: "What nonsense are you spouting? I'm not even divorced yet, what kind of relationship are you talking about?"

She tried to remain calm, but her heart was pounding wildly.

If Yang Chun'er found out that she and Lu Zichuan had officially become a couple, wouldn't that girl tear her apart?

Yang Chun'er looked like she'd seen a ghost: "It's not this, it's not that, so there must be some reason why you're so happy today, right?"

Shen Zhiyi touched her face: "Am I happy today?"

Yang Chun'er nodded emphatically, pointing at her face and saying, "It's not just happiness, it's the kind of happiness that comes from receiving the greatest good news. Since I saw you this morning, the corners of your mouth haven't drooped once."

"Old Zhang made such a basic mistake just now, and you didn't scold him. Instead, you were all smiles. Something just doesn't seem right."

Shen Zhiyi thought to herself, she had only just confirmed her relationship with Lu Zichuan. Although she was quite happy, she shouldn't be so happy as to let others see it. Yang Chun'er must be trying to sabotage her.

She pursed her lips. "Cough, you're overthinking it. I just noticed that Old Zhang had such dark circles under his eyes. He must have had something going on yesterday. There's no need to scold him."

Yang Chun'er raised her index finger and shook it from side to side: "I'm not the only one who thinks this way, see for yourself."

She tossed her phone in front of her; it showed a small group chat created by their department, but Shen Zhiyi wasn't in it.

"What's wrong with Zhi-jie today? Why does she look so smug?"

"Yes, she even greeted me this morning, her eyes crinkling with laughter."

"We haven't been paid either..."

Everyone inside was trying to guess her feelings.

Shen Zhiyi: "..."

I feel guilty, but I can't say it.

She adjusted her posture and pushed the phone back in front of Yang Chun'er: "I think you guys have so little to do all day, that's why you're so free. Even though the weather's nice today, does that mean we can't be in a good mood?"

"Go away, instead of gossiping, help me send the edited content to the top floor."

She casually pulled out the USB drive and tossed it to Yang Chun'er, giving her instructions.

Upon hearing this, Yang Chun'er's gossipy face instantly fell: "Seriously! Zhizhi! I'm leaving this job on Friday, can't you just deliver it yourself?"

She still felt extremely annoyed whenever she thought about Lu Zichuan and that mysterious mother and daughter. Unfortunately, the security measures at the amusement park that day were so good that she couldn't get the surveillance footage even after using her authority. Otherwise, if she knew who that woman was, she would definitely become a hater and keep an eye on her every day!

Shen Zhiyi kept her eyes glued to the screen and didn't turn her head: "It's precisely because you're leaving that I'll be using you more."

"Besides, didn't you want to get closer to President Lu in the first place? Now that you're leaving, shouldn't you take the opportunity to see him a few more times?"

Yang Chun'er: "..."

Well, although Lu Zichuan is a bit of a scumbag, he is undeniably good-looking.

Just go.

On the top floor, Lu Zichuan had just finished approving a project proposal. During his break, Shen Zhiyi's face flashed through his mind. In the past, he could only endure when he missed her, but now that they had officially started dating this morning, he had a legitimate reason to contact her.

He picked up his phone, tapped her profile picture, and his thumb flew across the screen:

"What are you doing? Girlfriend."
