Chapter 20

Listening to her hesitating, Orange couldn't understand anything. "Friendly reminder, your vacation is already halfway over."

"No hurry, no hurry..." Wen Zhenni felt guilty. "It's getting late. Go to bed quickly. Good night!"

The voice was hung up decisively, and her shoulders slumped as if she was deflated.

I was no longer sleepy, so I climbed out of bed and rummaged through boxes and drawers looking for the script.

Ciheng unbuttoned her shirt and watched her rummage through the drawers and cabinets, bustling about. "Are you planning to study late into the night?"

Wen Zhenni said confidently, "Looking at a few lines is still better than not looking at anything at all."

What is this called? Is it mainly for psychological comfort?

Ciheng shook her head and pulled the script she'd requested from under the sofa throw. "You should probably work on your forgetfulness."

Holding the script in my hand and flipping through it, what caught my eye were restricted scenes.

He frowned, and there was an indescribable look in his eyes.

"Don't look!" Wen Zhenni pounced on him, but she didn't control her strength well and knocked him onto the sofa.

The script fell to the carpet with a rustling sound, and Wen Zhenni fell into his arms.

The forehead hitting Ciheng's chin was very precise. The dull pain in the back and the dull pain in the chin were like two critical hits.

Ci Heng raised her head helplessly and let out a long sigh, "You want to smash me to death and find a new husband?"

Wen Zhenni looked apologetic, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."

After that, he retorted unconvincedly: "Who told you to read my script without permission?"

"You'll see it sooner or later." Ci Heng supported her waist with one hand and pinched her face with his thumb. "The lines are dry. What's the point of reciting them again and again? Only practice can bring true knowledge."

He patiently encouraged her, "In other words, you can ask me to practice with you and help you rehearse your lines in an immersive way."

“…” After turning such a big corner, I found out that he was waiting here.

But all she wanted to do tonight was sleep.

"I'm sleepy. I'll read the script tomorrow."

If you continue talking, you will get into trouble.

She quickly climbed up from Ciheng, got into the quilt, and wrapped herself like a silkworm cocoon again.

This woman is becoming increasingly difficult to deceive.

Ciheng picked up the dropped script with a regretful expression, took off his shirt and went to the bathroom.

When he came back from taking a shower, the person on the bed had already occupied the entire bed and was fast asleep, leaving no room for him at all.

The consequence of working too much overtime during the day is that you miss the alarm and oversleep the next day.

Looking at the shocking time of 8:30, Wen Zhenni screamed and jumped out of bed.

She lifted the quilt too quickly and her ankle hit the bed leg. The pain made her cry, but she still had to endure the pain and jump to the bathroom.

"I have to go to work today, why didn't you call me?"

There were at least twenty people in the villa, but no one offered to wake people up in the morning.

Wen Zhenni wailed, giving herself one minute to brush her teeth, wash her face, change her clothes, and then rushed downstairs with the shark tongs in her mouth.

Knowing that she didn't have time to put on makeup, the maid helped her prepare a makeup bag and packed breakfast and sent it to the car.

As a result, the owner couldn't even handle himself. He ran around in a panic and two buttons on his collar were misplaced.

At the servant's reminder, she buttoned her clothes again and jumped to put on her shoes. Only then did she realize that she hadn't seen Ciheng since she got up. "Where is the master? Why is he gone so early in the morning and why didn't he wake me up?"

The servant explained: "The master received a call at the last minute and went to the company at seven o'clock."

Xingxing glided over, holding a candy in its robotic arm, and circled around Wen Zhenni, "Mommy, have some candy."

Robots are cute, but now is not the time for parenting.

Wen Zhenni casually stuffed the candy into her pocket and got into the back seat of the car.

The Panamera drove out of the villa area like an arrow and merged into the traffic flow.

Xiao Su was a good and steady driver. Wen Zhenni finished her breakfast in the car and finished her makeup.

In order to save time, she asked Xiao Su to drive the car directly into the underground parking lot of the headquarters.

Xiao Su parked the car and asked her, "Madam, do you want me to pick you up after get off work?"

"No need." She was too rushed this morning, otherwise she would have driven herself. "You can get off work. I'll go home by myself in the evening."

Wen Zhenni checked her makeup in the mirror, made sure there was nothing wrong, then pushed the door and got out of the car.

There were not many people in the parking lot at this time, and several elevators were still on the upper floors. She ran towards the stairs with her bag, and a Maserati just happened to drive over from the side.

I caught sight of the license plate number and it looked very familiar, a bit like Ci Yu's car.

When the butterfly-wing door was opened, it was really Ci Yu!

"Xiao Yu." She called out.

Ci Yu probably didn't hear it, so he took two steps at a time without even turning his head.

Wen Zhenni suddenly remembered Ciheng's friendly reminder that if she saw her brother-in-law in the morning, it would mean that she would be gloriously late.

She secretly cried out that she was doomed, and ran all the way to the hall, recognizing the face at the last second.

The two of them clocked in one after the other and entered the elevator. Ci Yu leaned against the car exhausted, wiping the sweat off his face. "My hard-earned money is finally saved."

Wen Zhenni looked at him with a hint of sympathy. "How about I talk to your brother and ask him to at least raise...the base salary?"

Ci Yu smiled with despair, "My brother is a notorious cold-blooded devil at work, he won't give in."

Is it really that scary? Perhaps Wen Zhenni has never worked directly with Tzu-Heng and hasn't experienced the power of the devil.

"Sister-in-law, is Xingxing easy to use?"

Before the elevator arrived, Ci Yu asked for feedback on the robot's use.

Wen Zhenni nodded: "It's good, I like it very much."

Everyone calls her mommy, so of course a mother will praise her child in public.

"That's good."

The elevator dinged, and we arrived at the institute's floor. Ciheng said goodbye to her, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to work now."

"Yeah, okay."

It's time to go to work, and it's time for her, a slave, to work hard and earn some money.

Wen Zhenni went to the president's office first to finish what she needed to do. When she returned to the president's office, there was still a pile of data waiting to be sorted out at her workstation.

She was so busy the whole morning that she didn't even have time to drink a sip of water.

"Has our company always had so much work?"

When she went to the cafeteria for lunch at noon, she couldn't help but ask Lucy.

Lucy shook her head. "Not really. The situation is special right now. The resort is a key development project for the company, and President Ci has just returned to take over. The procedures set by the previous president are definitely not applicable. Everyone is still in the adjustment period, so mistakes are inevitable."

She comforted Wen Zhenni, "It won't take too long. It will be fine after this busy period."

What you said seems to make sense.

But her life is so hard because she has to work overtime every day.

When Wen Zhenni thought about it, she felt uglier than crying.

Seeing her dejected look, Lucy couldn't help laughing. "Work has to be done, and fish have to be caught."

Wen Zhenni poked the fish on the plate and sighed softly, "I don't know how to fish either."

"I'll teach you."

Lucy, ever willing to help, shared her own slacking technique with her. "Know in advance when your boss will be around most often, don't use your phone, open multiple windows—novels, entertainment, whatever. Keep a serious expression, keep your hands on the keyboard, and occasionally type a few words to cover up. If someone walks by, switch back to your work window. But be quick; if you're not, you're done."

"There's still time to get water and go to the toilet, so you can do a lot of things."

She has a lot of experience. Although Lucy looks honest, she is actually an old hand at slacking off.

Wen Zhenni didn't notice and was a little surprised. "I thought you were the kind of poor little guy who works hard and never complains."

Lucy finally realized it. If she had any connection with Mr. Ci, wouldn't she have exposed herself?

Thinking of this, his ears suddenly turned red. "In my heart, work always comes first. I rarely slack off."

Seeing her anxious to explain, Wen Zhenni just smiled and focused on her lunch. "After lunch, I have to go confirm the mission with President Ci. I don't know where President Ci is. I haven't seen him all morning."

"Don't you know?" Lucy looked surprised. "Boss Ci went to inspect the construction site early this morning."

The resort was in the suburbs, a four-hour round trip, not too far. It was just a one-sentence thing, and this bastard didn't even tell her, causing her to almost be late that morning.

Wen Zhenni became more and more depressed the more she thought about it, and sent him a WeChat message to ask if there was anything that couldn't be solved by phone or WeChat.

A few seconds after the message was sent, Ciheng called back, which scared her so much that her heart started pounding.

I'm going to die. Who are you trying to scare to death by calling me all of a sudden?

I turned off the mute function and was about to hang up, but my hand shook and I pressed the connect button instead.

"Why are you calling?"

She was full of reason and her tone was firm, "It's working hours now, employees do not accept personal calls."

Ciheng replied succinctly, "It's convenient."

I think he is used to being domineering and authoritarian.

Wen Zhenni muttered something in her heart, but when she heard his slightly tired voice, her tone softened a bit, "Do you have anything to tell me this afternoon? If not, I need to concentrate on my work."

Hearing her eager tone to hang up, Ci Heng raised an eyebrow and said, "Yeah, I'm on my way back."

Wen Zhenni said "Oh".

Who cares whether he comes back or when he comes back.

The man on the other end of the phone snorted and laughed, "Do I have a lot of work in the office? You still want to be lazy?"

Are these unscrupulous capitalists going to stop until they have squeezed every last drop out of the oxen and horses?

"Don't worry, even if it's just a temporary job, I will fulfill my duties and do my assistant job well."

Wen Zhenni finally understood the internet meme: No one falls in love with their boss. No one!

Not wanting to say more to him, Wen Zhenni hung up the phone and continued with the work at hand.

Ciheng returned to the company at four o'clock in the afternoon. At that time, Wen Zhenni was staring at various forms. General Assistant Lu Fangyang suddenly came to the president's office to notify of an emergency meeting.

"It's almost time to get off work, aren't you going to work overtime again?"

As soon as Lu Fangyang left, wailing broke out in the office.

Wen Zhenni looked at the piles of information at hand and really wanted to pass out.

He has a lot of things to do, but he goes to a meeting as soon as he comes back. Is he a donkey, pulling the mill from morning to night without a break?

Wen Zhenni was wondering in her heart, and was pulled up by Lucy with a numb face. She dragged her heavy feet into the small meeting room with everyone.

The author has something to say: I have 80,000 words left in manuscript, and I’m halfway done with it.

I hope you can give me a ranking list tomorrow so that I can get on the clip as soon as possible and have a chance to update more. [Poor]
