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

Despite their complaints, everyone obediently followed them down to the first floor.

Xu Zhesheng and Su Manman were already waiting at the front desk, hand in hand, looking like a harmonious couple.

The two only separated when they saw everyone had arrived, seemingly to avoid suspicion, but everyone knew the truth in reality.

When Su Manman first entered Jiangxing Entertainment, she was filled with longing just by looking at the magnificent building from the first floor.

It's so luxurious! No wonder it's China's number one entertainment company. The moment you walk in, you feel its extraordinary presence.

She had worked hard for many years, and had been with two ordinary talent agencies, but neither of them combined was even half as impressive as the one in front of her.

Thinking that she was about to become a member of this company, she straightened her back and said like a lady of the house:

"Honestly, you guys are really something! Director Xu and I haven't even arrived yet. You should have been waiting for us on the first floor before we went in together. Why are you running around like headless flies? It makes people think our crew is unsophisticated, without any rules or regulations, and that Director Xu can't control anyone!"

Yu Meng'an stood beside Shen Zhiyi. She disliked Su Manman to begin with, and knowing about her disgraceful deeds, she looked down on women who climbed the social ladder by relying on men even more. Hiding behind others, she exaggeratedly imitated Su Manman's grimacing expression, which made Shen Zhiyi smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Su Manman spotted Shen Zhiyi laughing in the crowd at a glance. She didn't look at her on purpose, but her laughter seemed to have a kind of magic, instantly attracting people's attention.

Looking at Shen Zhiyi's face, which was ten times more beautiful than her own, Su Manman felt a pang of jealousy and retorted, "Especially your editing department! You should know that you were only able to visit Jiangxing thanks to Director Xu. Otherwise, how could you possibly have gotten a spot?"

"Shen Zhiyi, as the head of the editing department, you don't properly regulate your subordinates, letting them run around and ruin our crew's reputation. Can you take responsibility for that?"

"How dare you laugh? How can you be so shameless!"

Here, Shen Zhiyi didn't want to argue with Su Manman, so she lowered her eyes and withdrew her smile.

Assistant Liu was instructed by Lu Zichuan to know that the film crew was coming to visit.

At first, he was puzzled. Since its establishment, Star Entertainment had never allowed visitors to come and go. After all, there were many outsiders and the company had many popular artists. If they happened to see something they shouldn't have, it would be troublesome.

But after witnessing firsthand how special President Lu was to Shen Zhiyi, he realized that these people were only able to come because of Shen Zhiyi.

Seeing Su Manman publicly criticize Shen Zhiyi, Assistant Liu straightened his tie, stepped forward, completely ignoring Su Manman, and said to Xu Zhesheng, "You must be Director Xu. President Lu specifically instructed that your crew would be coming today and asked me to treat them well."

"By the way, Mr. Lu specifically mentioned that Ms. Shen's film editing skills are quite good, but her vision needs improvement. Since you haven't arrived yet, I took them on a tour beforehand. Please don't mind."

By saying this, he not only acknowledged Lu Zichuan's approval of Shen Zhiyi, but also subtly criticized Su Manman for labeling people without distinguishing right from wrong. Most importantly, he completely ignored Su Manman and shifted his focus to Xu Zhesheng.

He didn't say a word, but he had already slapped Su Manman in the face without her even realizing it.

Xu Zhesheng frowned at him. The person who brought him here last time was Assistant Wang, but he had never seen this man before: "You are...?"

Assistant Liu smiled gently and shook hands with him: "Hello Director Xu, I am President Lu's personal assistant. Assistant Wang is on leave today, so I'm filling in."

As he spoke, he called to the receptionist, "What are you all standing there for? Why aren't you bringing water to Director Xu and his group? Don't let the people with rules and regulations think that our star is so stingy, coming all this way and not even giving them a bottle of water."

He deliberately emphasized the "rules and regulations" in his tone.

Su Manman immediately understood that he was making sarcastic remarks about her, and her face flushed red with anger: "You! Who do you think you are? What are you doing, a mere assistant, making sarcastic remarks like that!"

"Did I say something wrong?"

"Manman!"

Just as she was about to say a few more words of dissatisfaction, Xu Zhesheng raised his voice slightly, silencing her.

He then apologized to Assistant Liu and nodded, saying, "Manman was just anxious and worried that our crew would leave a bad impression on you. Please forgive her, Assistant Liu."

Assistant Liu shrugged indifferently.

At this time, the front desk staff also had water brought over and distributed it to everyone.

Su Manman took the water, but the words she hadn't finished saying were still stuck in her throat. She had been personally praised by President Lu today. Once Xu Zhesheng told Lu Zichuan, she would be able to sign a contract with Jiangxing. With her current fame and the subsequent release of the movie, her status in the entertainment industry would definitely rise. How dare this assistant talk to her like that? Her eyes reddened with grievance, but she couldn't lash out with Xu Zhesheng here. She could only gulp down the whole bottle of water to vent her anger.

Xu Zhesheng glanced at her again, then quietly took the bottle from her hand and whispered a few words in her ear. Only then did she reluctantly nod and swallow her grievances.

Assistant Liu then instructed someone to take them on a tour of the company.

A film crew is divided into several teams, with actors, directors, post-production staff, and editors each led by different people.

However, Xu Zhesheng noticed that although Assistant Liu did not participate in leading his employees on the tour, he always followed behind Shen Zhiyi.

Others might not know, but he knew from his previous visit that these assistants, though nominally just assistants, were actually people who followed Lu Zichuan and were definitely high-level executives in the company. Why was he bringing Shen Zhiyi instead of himself?

Xu Zhesheng felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about the scene of Lu Zichuan personally bringing Shen Zhiyi over in the parking lot.

If Lu Zichuan wanted to get closer to him, he could have just gone to him directly. Why did he have to try to win over Shen Zhiyi?

His gaze darkened, and he called out, "Shen Zhiyi, come with us."

He had always been reluctant to talk to Shen Zhiyi in front of others, fearing that they would discover their relationship. This time, when he spoke up, not only was Shen Zhiyi taken aback, but everyone else also looked at him strangely.

Yu Meng'an asked curiously, "Director Xu, you're here to visit the actors' and directors' equipment area. Sister Zhi is from the editing department, so your areas are different. What's she doing with you?"

Su Manman clenched her fists immediately, but she didn't say anything. Her eyes shot towards Shen Zhiyi like laser beams.

Shen Zhiyi refused without even thinking: "Director Xu, An'an is right. We're not on the same page. I won't see anything if I go with you. I'll stick with the editing department."

I just had a tug-of-war with him in the screening room, and we agreed to go our separate ways. What is he up to now?
