In the third year of their marriage, Shen Shuangmiao discovers that Zhu Jin loves her sister-in-law.
While she waits alone at home, Zhu Jin is celebrating his sister-in-law's birthday.
Chapter 10 A Solo Date
Shen Shuangmiao watched this scene quietly.
Zhou Wu held Zhu Jin's arm, and the two of them looked so well-matched standing together, which pierced her heart with pain.
Zhu Jin, who once doted on her, now obeys another woman's every word.
Even in a fit of rage, they can control their emotions.
"Fu Xuan, let's go."
She whispered to Fu Xuan.
Fu Xuan had wanted to take her away for a long time, and he couldn't wait to step on the gas.
Behind him came Zhou Wu's comforting voice to Zhu Jin, along with a man's deep response.
Shen Shuangmiao closed the car window.
The two remained silent the entire way.
"Shall we go to the studio?" Fu Xuan changed the subject.
He didn't ask why this loving couple had changed so much after only two years of marriage.
But a faint sense of anticipation began to creep into my heart.
Since Zhu Jin is not suitable for Chen Shuangmiao.
He might be a good fit.
Shen Shuangmiao nodded: "Adjust the plan. Another company's bidding meeting is tomorrow at eight o'clock."
Upon returning to the studio, Shen Shuangmiao immediately convened a meeting with the team.
She briefly explained the results of the bidding, then changed the subject: "We have a new opportunity: the renovation project of the three-star hotel by Lan."
The studio staff looked at each other, clearly not expecting Shen Shuangmiao to adjust so quickly after just experiencing a setback.
"Everyone should participate in the overall plan, and Fu Xuan and I will be in charge of the final approval." Shen Shuangmiao assigned tasks, her voice firm and powerful. "If we can close the deal this time, we will not only receive a bonus, but also a two-point commission for each of you."
The employees were shocked by these words.
These benefits were something they had never heard of before.
At first, they didn't believe that Shen Shuangmiao was capable of running the studio well, but now they all inexplicably felt motivated.
What was that saying again?
Take a gamble, and you might just turn a bicycle into a motorcycle and make a fortune.
After Shen Shuangmiao returned to her office, Fu Xuan followed her there.
"Did you arrange it this way on purpose? The plan doesn't need to involve so many employees; it only requires slight adjustments."
Shen Shuangmiao sat down at the table, smiling and nodding: "Yes, I want them to feel a sense of accomplishment, to see that as long as they work for me, they can get generous rewards. We must change the atmosphere of this lifeless studio."
She didn't want to face a group of unmotivated employees anymore, but she also knew that no one was obligated to improve their work enthusiasm for her sake.
Only money and sufficient benefits can make every employee loyal to you.
The entire studio was then filled with a lively working atmosphere.
Shen Shuangmiao personally oversaw the process, and at 8:00 AM the next day, she led her team to the client's bidding meeting.
Unexpectedly, the negotiations went exceptionally smoothly.
Founder Mr. Chen praised Shen Shuangmiao's design concept: "This is exactly what we wanted! It uses environmentally friendly materials to attract health-conscious customers, while still maintaining a good design."
To Shen Shuangmiao's even greater surprise, President Chen immediately decided to prepay one-third of the amount.
“I can see that you genuinely want to help us save money, so consider this money as a token of our sincerity.”
Leaving the building, Shen Shuangmiao let out a long sigh of relief, still feeling like she was in a dream.
The sunlight shone down.
She closed her eyes and felt a warm sensation all over her body, dispelling the gloom of the past few days.
She is not a canary.
They shouldn't be buried in marriage.
She should be an eagle soaring through the sky, just like the men in those industries, or even better than them, and defeat them.
Shen Shuangmiao and Fu Xuan exchanged a glance.
"Let's go, we should go back and announce this good news."
Fu Xuan nodded and opened the car door for her.
As soon as the two arrived at the studio, everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at them and their assistant, Gao Lan, with wide eyes.
"We did it!" Gao Lan jumped up excitedly. "President Chen is such a good person, much better than those snobs!"
Fu Xuan smiled and said, "This is all thanks to the boss. He insisted on environmental protection as the main principle, and the design was outstanding. Of course, people would appreciate it."
Shen Shuang smiled and said, "It's also thanks to the team. Everyone has worked hard. I'll treat everyone tonight to celebrate!"
The entire studio erupted in excitement.
They originally thought they would be stuck in this studio, earning a fixed salary and just waiting to die.
Unexpectedly, after Shen Shuangmiao divorced Zhu Jin this month and took over all the work, she directly increased their income by more than five times.
The morale of the studio soared immediately.
Several employees who had initially been hesitant about her and even considered resigning began to proactively suggest what proposals they should prepare for the next bidding process.
7 p.m.
The group chatted and laughed as they arrived at a high-end restaurant.
Everyone discussed various topics in a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
Seeing the satisfied and excited smiles on their faces, Shen Shuangmiao felt an indescribable sense of relief.
Fu Xuan smiled slightly, staring intently at her profile, unwilling to miss a single smile or frown.
"I guess I have good judgment, right? If I follow Boss Shen from now on, I'll have a powerful backer, and I'll never have to worry about food and drink."
Shen Shuangmiao was amused by his words: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm the one who needs to rely on you. As the studio gets more and more orders in the future, you'll be the main force."
Fu Xuan shrugged: "I wouldn't call it the main force. As long as I can help you develop the studio better and better, I'll be satisfied. That's your dream."
Shen Shuangmiao's smile froze.
She suddenly remembered that Zhu Jin had said something similar.
Support her dreams and the like.
Shen Shuangmiao slowed down her drinking, quickly dismissing the thought.
"I'm going to the restroom."
She got up and left her seat.
As I walked through the corridor, several waiters approached, followed by the restaurant's head chef, carrying exquisite dishes into a private room not far away.
Shen Shuangmiao had heard that the head chef of this restaurant was very famous, but rarely appeared in person to introduce the dishes.
There must be a very important guest in the private room.
Shen Shuangmiao walked over and glanced at the half-open private room.
Upon seeing the scene inside, she abruptly stopped in her tracks.
Inside the private room, Zhu Jin was holding a wine glass, leaning lazily against the table, while Zhou Wu, smiling radiantly, sat opposite him.
A birthday cake was placed on the table, surrounded by roses.
Zhou Wu covered her mouth and laughed: "What are you doing? You were in such a hurry to call me over, so you wanted to give me a surprise."
"I promised to celebrate your birthday separately." Zhu Jin raised an eyebrow. "I mean what I say."
Shen Shuangmiao remained frozen in place.
She hadn't seen Zhu Jin like this in a long time.
Since getting married, she has spent her birthday alone for two consecutive years.
Seeing how gently Zhu Jin treated Zhou Wu, Shen Shuangmiao finally understood why he had been so cruel to her.
She ruined Zhu Jin's happy life with his beloved.
How could he not hate?
Shen Shuang let out a breath and quickly turned around, only to bump into Fu Xuan, who had also come to the restroom.
Fu Xuan followed her gaze and his expression changed.
