Chapter 56

Xiao Yang sat at his desk, motionless.

She had been holding this posture for a while, her muscles were a little stiff, but she was unaware of it and was still immersed in her own world.

After Jiang Zhuoyan's wedding, she had put the question of "who the princess was" behind her and hadn't pursued it further. After all, gossiping was pointless, and work had to go on as usual.

But something that happened a few days ago completely broke her inner peace.

The company's newly signed anchor is named Shen Fengni.

Isn’t this the name Jiang Zhuoyan called out on the wedding day?

And it's no wonder that she felt the name "Feng Ni" was familiar. She had seen Shen Feng Ni's live broadcast on the "Moments" app before and was impressed.

The person who married Jiang Zhuoyan was Chen Fengni, so it was obvious that they were a couple!

As Jiang Zhuoyan's assistant, she knew her boss's temperament too well. If she didn't really like him, there was no way she would have the slightest bit of ambiguous relationship with him, let alone getting married in the game.

Xiao Yang felt like she'd uncovered some terrifying secret. If she told it, she'd be silenced, but if no one shared it, she'd suffocate. So, she tormented herself for days. It was fine when she was busy, but whenever she had some free time, it was all she could think about.

At this moment, her cell phone vibrated several times in a row and she came to her senses.

It’s a message from the small group.

Xiaojuaner: Eat whatever you want for lunch!

Zhizhiberry: I don’t know. I’m hungry.

Xiaojuaner: Me too!

Xiaojuaner: I heard the cafeteria has a new order of crispy pork belly today!!

What followed was a series of fantasies and discussions about lunch, and even a vote was initiated, with a level of seriousness comparable to that of an international academic conference.

Xiao Yang: ...Why would three of us vote?

Sometimes she really envied these two heartless friends, who just wanted to eat and drink well and not take anything to heart.

It was clearly the three of them who were discussing who "feng ni" was at the wedding, and were caught red-handed by the bride. However, the two of them had the memory of fish and forgot everything in a blink of an eye, leaving her alone to suffer.

After the wedding, Zhizhi Meimei was politely worried for a few days, but later she found that the wedding blessings she had copied randomly did not seem to be seen by Jiang Zhuoyan, so she completely put the matter behind her.

Seeing that the conversation in the group had moved from lunch to afternoon tea, Xiao Yang narrowed his eyes. He really couldn't bear to see them so happy.

A little lamb: Chen Fengni, you two know, right?

A little lamb: She is the princess.

The discussion in the group came to an abrupt halt. There was silence for five minutes, and then the two friends got angry at the same time.

Zhizhiberry: What?? What did you say???

Xiao Juaner: What the hell is going on? Tell the truth!

The soft cold brown long hair was tied into a beautiful bun strand by strand. Xu Weiyi took a half step back, looked at the effect in the mirror, and then pinned a red camellia on Shen Fengni's temples with satisfaction.

She patted the person in front of her and said, "Look, how is it?"

Shen Fengni looked at herself in the mirror.

Fresh and sweet girlish makeup, light eyeliner slightly lengthens the end of the eye, eyelashes are long and curled, and cherry red lip glaze is smudged into a natural bitten lip makeup.

The bright afternoon sun shines on the delicate camellia, making it lively and full of vitality.

She smiled, "It looks good."

"Wow, Weiyi, you're amazing." Song Manman, who had watched the whole process, opened her eyes wide. "It's even better than the previous professional makeup artist."

Originally, the company assigned a makeup artist to Shen Fengni, but just two days ago, the makeup artist suddenly resigned. When they were worried, Xu Weiyi came.

Whether she's wearing makeup or not, Chen Fengni is always beautiful. But Xu Weiyi's makeup amplifies this beauty and takes it to the next level.

Xu Weiyi was also quite proud, "I just researched it when I had nothing to do. Who knew it would come in handy?"

That day, Jiang Zhuoyan suddenly asked her if she wanted to change jobs, which surprised her. She thought there was a vacancy in the company's kitchen cleaning position, and seeing that she was hardworking, she came to him.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhuoyan asked her if she was willing to be Shen Fengni's personal assistant.

At that time, Xu Weiyi thought he had misheard. He looked around and found that no one else was around. He raised his finger and pointed at himself, "Are you asking me?"

Jiang Zhuoyan said firmly, "I'm asking you."

Xu Weiyi: "But I only went to junior high school."

Jiang Zhuoyan: "It's not important."

So Xu Weiyi was recruited without knowing why. Although she was just an ordinary outsourced contract worker, her salary was much better than when she was a waitress.

Furthermore, Shen Fengni arranged for her and Song Manman to live together in a safe and formal youth hostel near the company, paying for half a year's rent directly. She would bring them along whenever she ordered takeout or afternoon tea. The company cafeteria was also cheap and delicious, basically providing food and accommodation, and it was of high quality.

Xu Weiyi had never found such a comfortable job before, and she was so happy that she worked even harder. She found that the job of an assistant was just a chore, and there was no educational requirement. As long as she was dedicated, she could quickly get the hang of it.

Later, the makeup artist suddenly resigned, and she volunteered to take over, which amazed everyone, so the makeup for Chen Fengni's daily live broadcast was also given to her.

At this moment, the office door was knocked and then pushed open.

Jiang Zhuoyan walked in with a few bags in her hands and placed them on the table next to the refrigerator.

The office is large, divided into two areas: one half is used for live broadcasts, and the other half is for work and rest. It's fully equipped with all the essentials, including a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and other common items. There's also a large snack cabinet filled with a wide variety of snacks, which are immediately replenished when needed, making it comparable to a canteen.

This table is where they eat, and the takeaway food and afternoon tea they usually buy are also placed here.

So as soon as Jiang Zhuoyan put the food down, everyone knew they were in for a treat today.

Song Manman went to greet him attentively, "Mr. Jiang is here, what delicious food did you buy?"

In the past few days since I started working, Jiang Zhuoyan has come almost every day, sometimes to bring food and drinks, and sometimes just to say hello.

Song Manman was nervous when she first saw her, but Jiang Zhuoyan was always gentle to her and cared about her health, so she was now used to Jiang Zhuoyan's presence.

Jiang Zhuoyan replied: "Sea salt cheesecake and fruit tea."

There was a lunch meeting at noon, and the cake shop that Shen Fengni liked was next to the hotel, so I bought a few cakes.

Song Manman was very happy, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang!"

Jiang Zhuoyan nodded in response, looking past Song Manman at the person walking towards her behind her.

Chen Fengni was bathed in the bright sunshine, her light-colored skirt was as white as a light cloud.

In the blink of an eye, the person was in front of her and looked at her with a smile, "Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Zhuoyan was dazzled by that smile and paused for two seconds before saying, "Why don't you ask me to be Nian Nian?"

As soon as she said this, she was scared herself.

When she was in the company, Shen Fengni always called her "Little Jiang" no matter in front of others or behind their backs, and she would always ask the same question in her heart.

Perhaps it was because Shen Fengni was so beautiful today, and her possessiveness made her say it directly.

Shen Fengni was stunned, looked at the two assistants around her who were equally surprised, and couldn't help laughing.

She lowered her voice, and it was hard to tell whether she was being coquettish or complaining, "Now?"

Since changing her address, she had nearly called out "Nian Nian" in front of her colleagues several times, but luckily she managed to stop herself at the last moment. Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhuoyan suddenly brought it up today, catching her off guard.

Jiang Zhuoyan ignored the others' gazes and said stubbornly, "Yeah."

After much hesitation, Chen Fengni finally decided to satisfy his girlfriend's request.

She said softly, "Okay, thank you Nian Nian for the afternoon tea."

After a pause, he asked again: "Do I have to call you that from now on?"

Although she has not been working here for long, anyone with a discerning eye can see that she and Jiang Zhuoyan have a special relationship. She doesn't care, but she is afraid of causing trouble to Jiang Zhuoyan.

Jiang Zhuoyan thought about it and said, "Okay."

He is so stubborn and willful again, but I have to admit that he is very cute.

Shen Fengni was helpless, "I know."

Jiang Zhuoyan curled his lips and showed her today's afternoon tea, "It's all what you like."

Shen Fengni wanted to pull her to sit down, "Would you like to eat something together?"

"No, I have a meeting at three o'clock, so I need to get ready."

Jiang Zhuoyan glanced at the time and said with a hint of regret, "Are you still broadcasting until six o'clock today?"

Shen Fengni: "Almost."

Jiang Zhuoyan: "Okay, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Chen Fengni: "Let's eat something light. The private restaurant we ate at last week was pretty good."

…

The two people were chatting casually, as if no one was around.

Song Manman huddled aside, pretending to eat cake, but the doubts in her heart seemed to be boiling on the fire, bubbling and surging, and about to explode.

This kind of conversation is too common, just like a casual chat between close friends.

Thinking back carefully, Mr. Jiang's attitude towards Shen Fengni was indeed very special. Not only did he arrange a perfect office next to his own, but he also came here every now and then.

And when Shen Fengni contacted her for the interview, Xiao Jiang was also with her...

After Jiang Zhuoyan left, Song Manman hesitated for a while, and finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

She hesitantly approached Shen Fengni, who was drinking fruit tea, and asked, "Fengni, are you on good terms with Mr. Jiang?"

Shen Fengni was silent for a moment, then gave a vague answer, "Yes, very good."

She didn't mean to deliberately hide her relationship with Jiang Zhuoyan, but she felt there was no need to publicly announce it, and should just let it flow. And at this rate, the fact that she and Jiang Zhuoyan were in a relationship would soon become unconcealable.

Song Manman asked cautiously, "How good is good?"

Shen Fengni was speechless for a moment, "That's it..."

It’s so good that whenever I encounter anything, I want to share it with her first; it’s so good that as long as I think of her, I no longer lack the courage to face the future; it’s so good that I want to do many interesting things with her and spend the rest of my life together.

No matter how many words are used to describe what Jiang Zhuoyan means to her, they would still seem insufficient.

"Okay, okay, stop chatting nonsense."

Xu Weiyi's voice sounded not far behind them, interrupting their conversation.

She urged: "It's time to work, everyone, take your positions."

Shen Fengni breathed a sigh of relief, took the fruit tea and stood up, "Then I'll go over first."

Song Manman was anxious and spoke faster than her brain, "Wait a minute, then you and Nian Nian..."

Before he could finish his words, Xu Weiyi patted his head lightly.

"You were the one who called me Nian Nian, right?"
