Chapter 13 His Thoughts Are Unfathomable
My phone vibrated; it was a message from Fu Xuan asking how the conversation with Shen Shuang went.
Shen Shuangmiao stared at the screen for a long time before finally replying: Success.
As for Zhu Jin, as an investor, who will also be involved in this project in the future, she didn't know how to talk about it on her phone.
As Shen Shuangmiao was hesitating about whether to call Fu Xuan now, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure walking straight past her.
She didn't pay any attention and was about to reach for a taxi when she heard a familiar voice.
"Fog."
Zhu Jin's voice was deep and had an unusual gentleness to it.
Shen Shuangmiao was taken aback when she saw Zhu Jin next to the Maybach.
She then realized that the person who had just passed by was Zhu Jin.
Wuwu? When did he start calling Zhou Wu such an intimate name?
"Okay, I'm done with my work now. I'll go with you to pick out a gift at 3 PM this afternoon."
Zhu Jin continued, "That jewelry store from last time? Sure."
Shen Shuang curled her fingers, pretending not to hear, and was about to turn and leave when Zhu Jin suddenly put his hands in his pockets and looked over leisurely.
Their eyes met.
In the sunlight, a glint of light flashed across Zhu Jin's tie.
Shen Shuangmiao then noticed that a silver lapel pin on his tie was reflecting light.
It was a birthday gift Zhou Wu gave him last year.
At the time, Zhu Jin received the gift and took it home, but just casually put it down and never wore it.
Therefore, for the past two years, despite being troubled by Zhu Jin's cold attitude, Shen Shuangmiao never considered that it was because he was dissatisfied with her forcing her into marriage.
Until Zhou Wu announced last time that the vigil for Brother Zhu Jin had ended.
Zhu Jin suddenly made a high-profile appearance at Zhou Wu's birthday party, engaging in various interactions and showing his affection.
Now, he can't wait any longer and no longer avoids suspicion, taking out the gift Zhou Wu gave him last year and wearing it.
Shen Shuangmiao was stunned for a moment, staring intently at his tie.
Zhu Jin noticed where her gaze was fixed, said into the phone that he would talk to her later, and then hung up.
Shen Shuangmiao then came to her senses and decided to walk over directly.
"Stop." Zhu Jin called out to her.
Shen Shuangmiao paused, turned around, and looked at him quietly.
Why wasn't I sent the project report for this collaboration?
Shen Shuangmiao turned around and looked him straight in the eye: "According to the contract, I only need to send work reports to Mo Yun's project director. If President Zhu wants to bypass his level, he can apply through the formal process."
Zhu Jin narrowed his eyes: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
"I'm stating the facts." Shen Shuangmiao glanced at her watch. "I'm in a hurry, but I can still find time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Since you don't have anything to do this afternoon and can go shopping, you should be able to get the divorce certificate before we go, right?"
She remained calm and showed no sign of distress.
Just like the matter of divorcing Zhu Jin and getting a marriage certificate, it was simply a work-related issue that urgently needed to be resolved.
Zhu Jin didn't agree, but instead took a step closer.
"Do you always carry the divorce papers with you?"
Shen Shuangmiao's breath hitched.
She nodded: "Of course, I'm always ready to divorce you."
Zhu Jin sneered: "I don't have time these few days. I'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau next week. Until then, don't bother me again."
"Can't it be today?" Shen Shuangmiao couldn't help but ask, "Since you're free..."
"I'm busy today!" Zhu Jin interrupted her. "I have an appointment with Zhou Wu."
Shen Shuang's delicate fingertips pinched into her palm.
"Can't we even take an hour to discuss a divorce?"
“Shen Shuang is amazing.” Zhu Jin looked at her coldly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
He looked down at him condescendingly: "Now you're in a hurry? When you were always seen with Fu Xuan, why weren't you this eager?"
After saying that, Zhu Jin straightened his suit and said casually, "Don't bother me, otherwise I don't mind postponing it to next month. Anyway, this matter can be handled sooner or later, I'm not in a hurry."
He opened the car door, got in, stepped on the gas, and drove off.
Shen Shuangmiao stood there, as if the warmth of his breath still lingered in her ears.
She didn't understand.
Shouldn't it be Zhu Jin who's anxious?
After Zhou Wu finished his vigil, he dissolved his marriage with his deceased brother Zhu Jin.
Now that one is single and the other is about to get divorced, getting a marriage certificate should be an urgent matter for Zhu Jin.
Shen Shuangmiao couldn't understand what Zhu Jin was thinking.
Or perhaps Zhu Jin still harbors resentment towards her and is deliberately wasting time trying to make her unhappy.
Feeling a bit tired, Shen Shuangmiao waved and hailed a taxi. Upon arriving at the studio, she informed everyone that the project had been finalized.
The news of the collaboration came from the company, and the staff had already received the notification via online email.
The studio is getting so many great projects every day that it's overwhelming everyone.
Seeing their salaries skyrocketing, everyone was incredibly grateful to Shen Shuangmiao and treated her with utmost respect.
Shen Shuangmiao also sensed the change in everyone's attitude towards her, and felt very happy and gratified.
Clearly, if everyone works together as a team and does their job well, how can the work not reach a higher level?
However, the grand ambition of opening this studio was set by her and Zhu Jin.
Now, several years have passed, and so much has happened; everything has changed.
She's the only one who still carries on with her original dream and is trying her best to keep this job going.
She and Zhu Jin had already drifted apart long ago.
Shen Shuangmiao gave Fu Xuan a wink, signaling him to come to her office so they could talk alone.
Fu Xuan frowned. After entering, he saw her sitting solemnly at the table, as if she had something to say.
He frowned and asked softly, "What's wrong? Wasn't your business deal going smoothly this time? Or did something go wrong?"
Shen Shuangmiao looked up at him and said, "I was just about to tell you about this. The company I went to was opened by a friend of Zhu Jin's friend. He is now involved in the project as an investor. We will likely run into him when we bring our team to report to him in the future."
"I'm telling you this so I can let you know in advance, so you won't be caught off guard and get a shock when you see him."
Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan frowned deeply, unable to utter a single word.
Seeing his continued silence, Shen Shuangmiao couldn't understand what he was thinking at this moment.
She asked, "What's wrong with you? You look strange. If there's anything you want to say, feel free to tell me."
Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan gave her a deep look.
"Actually, I don't have much to say. I just didn't expect that you and him have gotten to this point. You're still in contact at work. This must be affecting your mood, right?"
Shen Shuangmiao pursed her lips: "It does have an impact, but it's okay. Making money and getting the studio up and running well are the most important things right now. No matter how much it affects me, it can't change my determination to complete the project perfectly. You don't need to worry."
Fu Xuan hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and sighed softly.
For some reason, he had a premonition.
Zhu Jin doesn't seem to be completely in love with the woman who is his older brother, and he doesn't seem to want to sever ties with Shen Shuang.
He couldn't even quite figure out what the man was thinking.
Even though they were both men, he could easily sense the thoughts of his fellow man.
But Zhu Jin is just that unfathomable.
