Shen Zhiyi went out first, and Wang Senlin, whose smile had not yet faded, turned around to follow her.

"Uncle Wang."

Lu Zichuan's deep voice sounded from behind him, not loud, but carrying an undeniable coldness.

Wang Senlin paused, then turned around.

Lu Zichuan had already slightly risen from the boss's chair, his elbows resting on the table, his fingertips touching, and his indifferent eyes were quietly watching him, the atmosphere becoming slightly more tense.

"This matter," Lu Zichuan said in a low voice, each word distinct and clear, "do not tell my mother."

Wang Senlin, however, pretended not to hear the warning in his words, and continued to smile as he turned around and walked back a few steps, lowering his voice with the knowing tone of someone who had been through it all:

"Mr. Lu, I don't understand your young people's complicated ways. But how many years has your mother been waiting for this day? She's finally caught a glimpse of it; letting her know would fulfill her wish, wouldn't it?"

He paused, leaned closer, and a cunning glint flashed in his shrewd eyes: "Besides, don't think your Uncle Wang is senile. The way you looked at Miss Shen just now, tsk tsk, that's not the way you look at an ordinary employee, do you think I couldn't see it?"

Lu Zichuan leaned back in his chair, neither admitting nor denying it.

He simply repeated, his tone even more somber: "She's just my employee right now. Many things are still undecided. If you say anything now, it will only alert her and cause me a lot of trouble."

Those pale eyes lifted, their gaze falling on Wang Senlin's face as if trying to see through him.

Wang Senlin's heart skipped a beat when he saw her. He recalled the scene in the office earlier, where Shen Zhiyi sat quietly on the edge of the reception chair, while Lu Zichuan sat in the boss's chair. The two maintained a perfect professional distance, one silent and the other indifferent.

His earlier excitement about the impending good news cooled down considerably in an instant.

It turns out... it wasn't that the two were being reserved and hesitant, but rather that the young man was still in the hunting phase, and the girl was probably completely unaware!

His expression stiffened slightly, and he suddenly recalled He Shuyun's impetuous manner on the phone, his tone softening involuntarily:

"Well... Mr. Lu, I got so excited just now that I called Madam, and judging by the speed... she's probably already on her way here. I... couldn't stop her in time..."

Lu Zichuan frowned almost imperceptibly, raised his hand, and rubbed his temples wearily. He squeezed out a few words through his teeth, with a hint of helplessness: "...Okay, I understand."

He lowered his hand, his gaze returning to its coldness, and gave the order: "Take her to complete the onboarding process first. I'll handle my mother's situation myself."

"Okay! Alright!"

Wang Senlin then put on a smile again, but in his heart he was already planning how to casually praise Shen Zhiyi in front of Madam Lu later.

He turned around, then remembered something and added, "That Miss Shen has a steady temperament and good manners; she's indeed a good person..."

Lu Zichuan ignored him and picked up the documents on the table again. His profile was cold and hard, clearly indicating that he had no intention of continuing the conversation.

……

With Wang Senlin personally accompanying him, the onboarding process was completed at lightning speed.

The HR manager personally received Shen Zhiyi, who only needed to provide her ID card. The rest of the process, such as filling out forms, data entry, and card production, was handled by her subordinates.

In just over ten minutes, a brand new employee card was handed to Shen Zhiyi.

Wang Senlin chuckled as he handed over the card, his eyes brimming with affection and appreciation: "Ms. Shen, you can officially start work next Monday. There are many people in this company, so if anyone treats you badly, feel free to come and find me, Old Wang."

Shen Zhiyi keenly sensed the overly eager attention in the other person's eyes, and quickly accepted the gift with both hands, saying respectfully, "Thank you, Minister Wang, you're too kind. I will definitely work hard."

She carefully put the employee card into her bag, her fingertips touching the card, which still had a slightly warm feel to it.

Just as she finished putting it away, Assistant Liu, who had been waiting nearby, quickly stepped forward with a polite smile: "Ms. Shen, Mr. Lu instructed me to help you familiarize yourself with the company environment. This building is large and has many branching paths; it's easy to get lost if it's your first time here."

Shen Zhiyi smiled in response and nodded in agreement: "Then I'll have to trouble Assistant Liu."

As she turned around, she caught a glimpse of Wang Senlin still standing at the entrance of the personnel department, watching her back with a meaningful smile on his face, which stirred a subtle feeling in her heart.

Assistant Liu led Shen Zhiyi on a tour of the editing department first. As soon as Shen Zhiyi entered, many people turned around.

The rumors that President Lu brought a girl into the company had already spread throughout the company's internal group chat, and now that Assistant Liu had personally brought someone over, everyone knew that the person in front of them was the one next to President Lu.

"Everyone, please stop what you're doing. This is Shen Zhiyi. She will be joining our editing department as the chief editor next week. Please give her a brief introduction."

Assistant Liu clapped his hands, drawing everyone's attention.

But he didn't need to say anything; everyone was already looking at Shen Zhiyi.

Some people looked on with amazement, while others looked on with disdain.

Seeing how pretty she was and how young she was, several of the girls couldn't help but pout and silently typed in the group chat:

"This woman is really beautiful, no wonder she managed to hook up with President Lu."

"Why did you come to our editing department? Our job involves editing such a variety of videos every day, it's tiring and tedious, it's not something someone with connections can handle."

"Coming to the editing department? As the head? This guy's just a pretty face? He can't even tell the difference between project file extensions, can he?"

"Confirmed to be a favored employee! This job requires all-nighters and causes hair loss. Why is she suffering like this, someone who's never lifted a finger? She's just causing us trouble!"

"What do you know! This is called a honey trap; you only feel at ease when it's right under your nose."

"Pshaw, I bet she won't last a week. She'll be begging President Lu to transfer her to a dead-end job!"

Everyone wore friendly smiles on the surface, but their eyes revealed dissatisfaction. Shen Zhiyi pursed her lips. In the past, everyone who met her for the first time at work thought that she only had looks and no ability.

But she didn't mind. She simply greeted them and then turned and left with Assistant Liu.

The building was indeed huge, with a full sixty-six floors. Shen Zhiyi spent most of the day exploring it, but she hadn't even seen half of it.

Just as she was feeling that having Assistant Liu accompany her was a waste of his talents, Yu Meng'an's voice suddenly came from behind her.

"Sister Zhi!"

Yu Meng'an jogged up and immediately took her hand: "I've been looking for you for ages! You actually left us here all alone!"

She was followed by three or four colleagues from the film crew, who all greeted her.

Shen Zhiyi was slightly taken aback: "You guys are here too?"

"Of course!"

Yu Meng'an, quick to speak, lowered her voice and leaned closer, her tone tinged with indignation, "President Lu was quite generous, inviting the entire crew to visit and learn! He said it was to appreciate our film... but he specifically praised Su Manman!"

She mimicked Su Manman's smug expression, rolling her eyes: "Didn't you see? The moment President Lu specifically praised her acting skills, Su Manman's mouth stretched so wide it almost reached her ears! She really thinks she's a signed artist with Star Entertainment!"

"Just now, Su Manman posted in the group that she's in Director Xu's car and will be arriving soon, and she wants us to go down and pick them up."

"Director Xu also told us to gather downstairs. Sigh, the movie's over, and he still acts like he's in charge!"
