Chapter 16

When they arrived at the headquarters building, as usual, the two separated at the subway station.

After their first encounter yesterday, Li Wei had figured out her background, and today she naturally treated her like a beast of burden to be driven at will.

Wen Zhenni had just arrived at the office and hadn't even sat down when a pile of folders was placed in front of her.

"The resort project is about to begin. These are the data and information compiled by various departments. Please organize them and create a database."

Li Wei's nail-painted fingers tapped at the files that were nearly overwhelming the computer. "And this, check this a few more times to make sure there are no errors. Check with the various departments regarding the key points highlighted in red."

Wen Zhenni gestured, surprised at how thick the pile of documents could be. "So many?"

"If you can't finish the work, you'll have to work overtime. That's how everyone gets by."

After saying that, Li Wei folded her arms and returned to her workstation.

Wen Zhenni flipped through a book at random. She knew every word, but she couldn't understand them when they were put together.

Seeing her puzzled expression, Lucy leaned over and said, "Approvals, drawings, contracts, and so on should be kept in separate folders. Both paper and electronic files should be archived."

"Oh, okay." Wen Zhenni, who had never attended an administrative class, nodded in confusion, but in fact, it was as if she was listening to a foreign language.

But then again, she wanted to attend the class on her own initiative, so there was no way she would back out.

She can recite lyrics by heart after reading them a few times. She has made it to the top of the entertainment industry, so you wouldn’t believe that she can’t even finish a document.

She opened the form confidently, then froze for three seconds.

Well, it's still a bit complicated.

The workload was heavy and Wen Zhenni was unfamiliar with the business. She was overwhelmed and did not go to the cafeteria with Lucy and the others for lunch.

Xi Miao sent her a message asking her to go shopping after get off work. Wen Zhenni felt like her bones had been pulled out. She lay on the table in despair and replied with a GIF expression of "dying", complaining to the eldest daughter in the family.

[I can't go. I definitely have to work overtime tonight.]

[I was wondering why the workstations were so large, it turns out they were just used to store documents.]

[…By the way, do you know how to organize files? ]

Xi Miao was shocked: [Sister, do I look like I've worked before?]

Of course, in Miss Xi's opinion, there is nothing that money can't solve.

If one dollar doesn’t work, then one hundred thousand.

So Xi Miao started to come up with bad ideas: [Why bother? I'll find you ten gunmen right away.]

Wen Zhenni: [Miss, this is an internal company document, not an elementary school student's homework.]

Xi Miao: [……]

A few seconds later, a link came over: [I can only help you here, you can slowly polish it yourself.]

Wen Zhenni clicked on the link, which was a collection of learning videos, each one lasting an hour.

"There's so much to learn..." Her heart sank.

Let’s eat first. After all, only when you are full will you have the energy to continue working.

She quickly turned off the computer and arrived at the cafeteria. The peak meal time had passed and the restaurant seemed a little empty and deserted.

No matter how tedious her work was, she never skimped on her food. She'd ordered a plate of fragrant dry-pot pork ribs, but it wasn't enough, so she ordered a plate of beef tenderloin with tea tree mushrooms. The waitress, noticing her resemblance to Wen Zhenni, even secretly added a steamed sweet potato.

She had completely accepted the result of her makeup failure and accepted her younger sister's compliment without blushing or beating her heart.

She found a random seat and just sat down when a figure came with a tray and sat down opposite her neatly.

"sister in law."

Wen Zhenni looked up and saw that it was her brother-in-law. She was a little surprised and asked, "You're coming to eat at this time too?"

"I'm used to it." Ci Yu pushed an extra iced drink in front of her. "It's ice cold, it'll refresh you."

"Oh, sister-in-law." Ci Yu suddenly remembered something, "I asked Secretary Lin to drive the car you asked for back to Zijin Bay."

Wen Zhenni picked up a tea tree mushroom and put it in her mouth, saying vaguely, "Okay."

His eyes met Wen Zhenni's slightly haggard face, and Ci Yu said with concern, "It's only been two days, sister-in-law, and you already feel like a regular."

Wen Zhenni took a sip of her drink and said, "I've been sorting through documents all morning."

"Tsk, worthy of my brother, not letting go of even a drop of water."

After Ci Yu finished speaking, he thought of himself, his shoulders slumping, and he complained, "Sister-in-law, can you believe it? My brother only gave me a base salary of 1,000 yuan, which is more than that in fifth-tier cities. He said he was training at the grassroots level, but it was actually just family bondage, pure exploitation of cheap labor like me."

Wen Zhenni remembered that Ciheng had told her that this brother-in-law had a base salary of 1,000 yuan and a full attendance salary of 20,000 yuan.

In terms of misery, he is the most miserable.

Wen Zhenni suddenly felt comforted.

As a sister-in-law, she couldn't control Ciheng and could only offer her spiritual sympathy. "Your brother, the devil, has his way. I can't help you. You're on your own."

It's difficult for the sister-in-law and the uncle, each has their own troubles.

After dinner, Wen Zhenni went back to the office for a nap, and the work in the afternoon went unexpectedly smoothly.

Although I still had to work overtime for an hour, at least I got the work done.

Colleagues left one after another. Wen Zhenni rubbed her swollen temples, took off her glasses, and stretched comfortably.

Rubbing my neck and looking out the window, the evening sky was like a cup of gradually getting stronger latte, slowly spreading across the horizon.

Wen Zhenni was about to get up when she suddenly kicked something with her foot.

She looked down in confusion and saw that it was a silver robot!

He was just knee-high, chubby, and the electronic eyes on the screen kept changing like emojis.

What a cute robot!

She squatted down, poked her eyes, and then hugged her round head, looking left and right. The robot actually tilted its head and moved around to follow her movements.

"Little thing, can you speak?"

The first time Wen Zhenni came into close contact with the robot, she was so curious that she couldn't help poking its round head.

"I can speak."

The eyes on the display screen appeared in cute shapes, and the childish electronic sound was particularly clear in the quiet office.

"I'm the third-generation companion robot, Tianxing. Mommy, you can call me Xingxing."

The robot tilted its head back, spinning around and rubbing against her calf. "Mommy, the star has many functions. It can even play Sweety's classic songs."

Wen Zhenni: "Do you also know sweety?"

"The stars know, it's Mommy's song."

Wen Zhenni was amused by the little thing. She found it hilarious to see the robot spinning around awkwardly. "Xingxing, are you a vacuum cleaner or a robot?"

Xingxing replied seriously, "Xingxing is a third-generation companion robot, but it can also sweep the floor. Let me show you."

As it spoke, it started spinning on the ground. Its round body moved in sync with the sound of the motor. Although it was a little clumsy and funny, it was also extremely cute.

After the demonstration, he circled around her legs again.

"Mommy, can you play a game of shell picking with Xingxing?"

A pixel-style mini-game popped up on the screen. It was a simple two-player mini-game.

Wen Zhenni was bored anyway, so she just played a few games with it.

When Xingxing loses, his eyes will turn into tearful poached eggs, and he will use a robotic arm to wipe away the non-existent tears.

When she wins, she laughs out loud, and she also makes fun of her when she loses.

Wen Zhenni was so excited to chat with it that she simply sat on the ground, took a photo with it, and showed it the photo.

The two figures, one big and one small, leaned against each other, just like two children having a good time.

"You really are able to chat with anyone."

Ciheng leaned against the glass door, folded his arms, with a smile on his lips, and he didn't know how long he had been there.

Wen Zhenni got up from the ground and pointed at Xingxing to introduce him to him: "It's a very cute robot, right? It's called Xingxing."

"I know, it's the robot Ci Yu gave you, number 002."

Xingxing grumbled as she walked to Ciheng's feet. Ciheng bent down and flicked Xingxing's head. "What did you call me?"

Xingxing called out in a baby voice, "Daddy."

Ciheng's eyes showed satisfaction, and he turned to ask her, "Is the work done?"

"I finished it. I saw a star and played with it for a while."

Wen Zhenni looked at the time and saw that it had been two hours since she got off work. She took a deep breath and asked, "You haven't been waiting for me all this time, have you?"

Ciheng: "I wasn't waiting for you. I was waiting for the lights in the building to turn off."

“…”This guy’s mouth!

Wen Zhenni smiled wryly and took the bag. "After get off work, after get off work. To apologize, let's go eat grilled squid."

Oh, and there are stars. "What should I do with the stars?"

Ciheng: "It doesn't need anyone to take care of it. It was already here before you came, and its service is longer than yours."

Xingxing knew that the two were discussing it, and raised her head, "Mommy, I can go home by myself and recharge myself."

After saying that, he twisted his short and fat body and went out mumblingly.

Along the way, I could still hear its sweet, yet somewhat cold and ruthless voice, "Please make way for me, I want to go home."

Wen Zhenni was so touched by the little figure's back that she took out her cell phone to take a photo, but Ciheng quickly grabbed her arm.

"I'm not going to eat, let's go."

He turned off the lights, carried the man out of the building and into the car.

The grilled squid restaurant she often went to was right on the way home, in the famous night market.

The store is not big, hidden in a small alley. Because of its good taste, it is well-known and is crowded with people after get off work.

There was no place to sit in the room, so Wen Zhenni pulled Ciheng, who looked very resistant, to sit at a small table that had been set up outside.

The squid skewers and pork belly were grilled to perfection and were still sizzling with oil when served.

"When I was on the set, this was what I wanted most."

Wen Zhenni squinted her eyes because of the drifting smoke, but she didn't care about the heat and took a bite of the pork belly impatiently.

"It's a pity that my agent is watching me too closely, so I can only secretly order takeout at night." His voice was unclear due to the heat, and his cheeks bulged out like the cheek pouches of a squirrel storing food.

Before getting married, Ciheng was dragged into this snack street by this girl. At that time, it was still a greasy plastic shed.

Even though I've eaten them countless times, I still don't think these foods have any magical properties.

She likes sweets and spicy food, there is nothing she doesn't like.

Oil and cumin powder stained her cuffs. Ci Heng pulled a paper towel in front of her and said, "Are you tired of the food made by the chef at home so quickly?"

"It's delicious too, but I just want a change of taste once in a while."

Seeing him using silver chopsticks to pick away the burnt edges and put the barbecued meat on the plate, Wen Zhenni became anxious, "It has to be eaten on skewers to have the soul."

She raised the grilled squid in her hand to Ciheng's lips and said, "Try it."

The strong smell of chili peppers rushed into my nose, accompanied by chili powder falling down.

Ciheng leaned back subconsciously.

He hid, but she chased him.

The charred and plump squid trembled slightly, and a little chili powder still rubbed against his lips.

"Eat by yourself and go home after you're done." He wiped his mouth and reminded, "Be careful if anyone sees it, or it'll be trending on the Internet tomorrow."

"I know." Wen Zhenni didn't insist on him eating it, she just wanted to see him take off his noble disguise.

You know, this person lives a life of luxury. He feels like signing a document when pinching a skewer and like tasting a delicacy when swallowing fast food. There is almost nothing that can make him lose his composure.

She held up her face, staring intently at the way he was cutting the meat, when she suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Qianqian?"

Wen Zhenni looked over and saw Lucy standing opposite her, waving at her.

Her expression was stunned and her mind was blank.

It’s over!

But Lucy had already walked over, "From a distance it looked like you, it really is you."

Seeing that the person sitting with his back to her was Ci Heng, Lucy's pupils were shocked and her voice became softer, "President Ci is here too."

Ciheng just nodded.

Lucy was so shocked that she was incoherent. "Um...you guys are...coming out to eat."

These two people not only seem to know each other, but their actions are also very intimate, which doesn't seem like an ordinary relationship.

However, Mr. Ci publicly stated that he was married, and his wife seemed to be the daughter of the jeweler Jin family.

Oh my god, her filter is broken.

They say that rich people play with flowers, have countless lovers, and have illegitimate children everywhere... Can even a ruthless devil like President Ci not avoid falling into clichés?

Did she discover something incredible?

Lucy was extremely embarrassed. She didn't know whether to leave or not.

Wen Zhenni finally reacted and explained, "After I finished working overtime, I happened to run into Mr. Ci and invited him to have barbecue with me."

It’s hard to say that it was Tzu-Heng who treated us, otherwise how can we explain that the helmsman of Taihua actually treated his employees to a meal at a roadside stall.

That makes people seem stingy.

"Oh." Lucy secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I was shopping with a friend and happened to pass by here."

"...Well, my friend is still waiting for me, so let's not talk for now. See you tomorrow."

If she stayed any longer, she would be killed, so Lucy quickly looked for an opportunity to slip away.

Ciheng sat as steady as a rock in the plastic chair from beginning to end, but the expression on her face was quite mocking.

"No rush, you still have one night to think about what excuse to make to fool them tomorrow."

The barbecue on the plate was piled up like a small mountain, and Ciheng began to enjoy his dinner slowly.

"This is what it means to use countless lies to cover up one lie."

Wen Zhenni: "..."

Can I return the goods to such a husband?

Maybe someone saw her and Ciheng’s intimate behavior last night, but when she met Lucy downstairs the next day, she looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated.

Before entering the office, Lucy specifically assured her, "Qianqian, don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

This is a big misunderstanding.

Wen Zhenni wanted to explain, but the timing was not right. If she didn't explain, the misunderstanding would probably continue to deepen.

Before she could think of what to say, the elevator dinged and stopped at the president's office floor.

As soon as they arrived outside the office, they heard laughter inside.

Everyone gathered together, not knowing what they were filming.

"It's so lively, what are you looking at?"

Lucy came over, and the others hurried to greet her and Wen Zhenni.

"Lucy, Qianqian, come and look at this third-generation companion robot developed by Huanxing. It's so cute."

"And it can even call out each of our names accurately. It's much better than my rebellious son."

Before Wen Zhenni came out from behind Lucy, the chubby robot had already squeezed through the crowd, walked to her side with a gurgling sound, and greeted her in a very crisp voice.

"Good morning, Mommy."

“…”

The office suddenly fell silent.

Everyone's eyes fell on Wen Zhenni's face.

Wen Zhenni's eyes twitched, and she was sweating profusely. "I saw it last night. It might be because of the first sight complex."

Do you believe it?

Actually, I don’t believe it myself.

Fortunately, Director Wang arrived in time and saved her from social ruin. "It's already 9:31. Why aren't you at work yet? Don't you want this month's performance bonus?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the colleagues who were still watching in surprise immediately scattered, some turning on their computers, some organizing their files.

Xiaoyuan also switched to the sweeping robot mode and rubbed the shiny floor next to Wen Zhenni's workstation.

The director glanced around suspiciously, not noticing that a robot pretending to be dead was rolling its eyes on its display screen.

He said to Wen Zhenni, "Qianqian, bring the documents you sorted out yesterday to the office."

Wen Zhenni was as if she had been pardoned. "Okay, I'll be right there."

As soon as the two left the president's office, the WeChat group "88th Floor Intelligence Team" began to bombard them with information.

[The robot developed by Huanxing actually calls Qiao Qianqian "Mommy." Is this normal? Is it reasonable?]

【Unreasonable! 】

Is there a bug?

[Do you think she has a hidden identity? For example, the girlfriend of a high-ranking official at Huanxing.]

Li Wei: [I inquired about it on my first day at work. Her family runs a small business, so she's not a wealthy woman. Her designer bag was given to her by a friend.]

Lucy, who had been lurking in the dark, emerged silently: [Um, I mean, is there a possibility that Qianqian is really the invisible boss?]

Li Wei: [Impossible, I bet.]

After replying this sentence, the group quickly fell silent and no one spoke anymore.

Li Wei was feeling annoyed. When she saw Wen Zhenni coming back, she picked up a stack of documents and put them on her desk.

"These are what you need to sort out today. Finish them as soon as possible."

"Also, Fang Sheng's people will come to discuss the project plan this afternoon. Remember to make coffee for Mr. Jiang."

Wen Zhenni flipped through it and found that it was indeed the part of the work she was responsible for.

If Li Wei deliberately exploited her, she would not be the scapegoat.

Don't be fooled by her amiable and easy-going personality. If she really encounters workplace bullying, she will not be a soft persimmon and let others take advantage of her.

With yesterday's experience, today's work efficiency has been significantly improved.

In the afternoon, people from Fangsheng Group came over. Wen Zhenni temporarily put down her work and went to the conference room to bring coffee to Jiang Lin.

In the small conference room, the blinds were half open, and the afternoon sun was shining brightly.

Ciheng sat opposite the screen, with his back against the floor-to-ceiling window, flipping through the pages of the resort plan with his fingertips.

After a moment, he took off his glasses, his gaze fell on the screen, and he said in a deep voice, "The resort is linked to the local cultural tourism, but that's not enough. We've decided to introduce film and television cooperation to further integrate commercial and cultural resources."

The project manager received a glance and pointed the laser pointer at the screen. "In Fang Sheng's proposal, we hope to have experts in charge and craftsmen guide the restoration of the ancient building structure to achieve a true restoration."

Jiang Lin nodded. "No problem. We will strictly control this aspect."

When it was break time, Wen Zhenni knocked on the door and came in, put down Jiang Lin's coffee, and also made a cup for Ciheng.

Just as he was about to give it to him, Ci Heng pushed the cup and saucer away and said, "Please change me a cup of hot water."

"Okay." The particular young master.

Wen Zhenni muttered something to herself, put the coffee cup back on the tray, and went to get some hot water.

"He doesn't like coffee." Jiang Lin said this with a smile, but with the attitude of questioning a subordinate, "Assistant Qiao, don't you know what President Ci likes?"

Wen Zhenni met her gaze, "Mr. Jiang seems to know Mr. Ci very well?"

Jiang Lin raised her eyebrows, but because the person involved was present and there were other senior executives around, she didn't say anything else, but the meaning in her eyes was very clear.

After being classmates for many years and spending every day together, it is difficult not to understand someone's preferences, let alone someone of the opposite sex you have always had a good impression of.

However, Wen Zhenni had to admit that she didn't know Ciheng well enough and didn't know whether he liked coffee or not.

Because at home, he eats whatever she gives him.

He suddenly acted like a demon just to order her around.

"Boss Ci, I'll go change the hot water!"

A minute later, she returned with the hot water and just in time heard Jiang Lin ask, "Why is President Ci suddenly so interested in film and television entertainment? Or does Taihua have plans to enter the film and television industry?"

Ciheng said frankly: "Because my wife is in the entertainment industry."

Not sure whether it was intentional or unintentional, but when he said this, his fingers touched Wen Zhenni's hand where she placed the cup.

Wen Zhenni trembled a little, but fortunately the movement was not big, so it was not considered a loss of composure.

Jiang Lin was unusually stuck because of his frankness.

The marriage between the Ci family and the jeweler's daughter was not news, but it was the first time she knew that his wife was an actress.

There are many female celebrities with the surname Jin in the entertainment industry, but what is certain is that none of them are very famous, and they are probably just small-time celebrities.

In comparison, Jiang Lin, who graduated from a prestigious university, seemed more confident. "As a female celebrity, Mrs. Ci must be very beautiful. I wonder if I'd be lucky enough to meet her?"

"Of course, when the opportunity is right, I will introduce you to everyone."

Ciheng's voice was like summer bubbles, floating gently and hitting Wen Zhenni's heart.

Wen Zhenni lowered her eyes to hide the corners of her mouth that were already curled up.

As they left the meeting room, she noticed that he kept turning the wedding ring on his hand.

Wen Zhenni's heart almost jumped out of her throat. She patted her chest all the way and went to the bathroom to splash cold water on her face.

She had finally calmed down when her cell phone suddenly vibrated, startling her again.

Press the power button and Ciheng’s WeChat will float on the lock screen.

【Walking so fast, is the dog chasing you?】

It also comes with a mean panda emoticon.

Wen Zhenni was stunned for three seconds: [I'm afraid you'll give me away.]

Fortunately, he remembered to send WeChat, which is also a big improvement.

Wen Zhenni continued to reply: [You work hard to earn small goals, I'm going to go earn some small money! ]

After thinking about it, I gave her a GIF of a pink rabbit pounding its abdominal muscles.

The reply came quickly, and she clicked on it in surprise.

Tzu Heng: [My abdominal muscles are not that ugly.]

Wen Zhenni: "..."
