Zhou Yanci stopped abruptly, a hint of wariness flashing in her eyes: "What did you say?"
The subordinate said, "Miss Shang asked Shang Yunshen if he wanted to get out as soon as possible, and also asked him to write down the events of that year on paper, without omitting any details. She will send someone to pick it up later."
"That's perfect. Why did Miss Shang suddenly go to visit him in prison? She used to only go during the New Year or Mid-Autumn Festival. Shang Yun Shen was depressed and didn't want to see her."
Zhou Yanci gripped her phone tightly and slowly walked into the corridor.
Judging from this, Shang Wu suspects that there are other hidden details about what happened back then?
Through the glass, he saw Shang Wu assigning tasks to his employees using documents.
She continued to work diligently and meticulously on the boat, just as she always had.
Was Shang Wu's sudden change in attitude towards him today, and the two merciless slaps he received, because she saw him with Shen Mian, or because she discovered that Shang Yun's imprisonment was related to him?
Zhou Yanci narrowed his eyes: "You need to get Shang Yunshen's writing before Shang Wu does. You know how to revise the content."
The subordinate replied, "Yes, understood."
Zhou Yanci hung up the phone, stuffed it into her pocket, and watched as Shang Wu pushed open the door and entered.
...
When he pushed open the office door, Shang Wu was tucking her stray hairs behind her ear, her profile bathed in a cold white light, making her appear even more aloof.
Zhou Yanci suddenly remembered that three years ago, she was harassed by someone he had arranged.
He stood there with a cold face, his back against the wall, looking like he would rather die than submit.
This aloof expression always ignites his desire to conquer.
Zhou Yanci closed the door behind him, walked behind Shang Wu, and leaned down to kiss the side of her neck.
Before she could succeed, Shang Wu said coldly, "I said, let's each calm down for a few days. I don't want to talk to you about the dormancy right now."
"This is not up for discussion. It was my fault. Even if she was really drunk and had nowhere to go, I shouldn't have brought her home. I deserve to be hit."
Zhou Yanci grabbed her hand and slapped it against her own face: "Hit me, Awu, do whatever makes you feel better. After you're done, come with me to sign a contract, okay?"
Shang Wu pulled her hand away from his and frowned: "What contract?"
Zhou Yanci knelt on one knee, looked up at her with a submissive expression, and said, "From today onwards, you will receive 20% of the jewelry sales revenue as compensation to you."
Shang Wu was taken aback.
The jewelry division is now the top revenue-generating department of the Chengzhou Group, with an unimaginably substantial amount of revenue.
Zhou Yanci immediately gave her 20%?
Seeing her incredulous expression, Zhou Yanci smiled and squeezed her hand: "What's mine is yours, Awu. When have I ever been stingy with you? I consider you the only person I'll ever marry."
Shang Wu's eyes flickered, but she remained silent.
"Now, can you believe that I have no interest in Chenmian and that there's nothing between me and her?" Zhou Yanci continued to coax.
Shang Wu looked at his posture of kneeling on one knee.
This attitude of admitting mistakes was something Zhou Yanci had never shown before.
She just caused a scene at the Zhou family's house, slapping Zhou Yanci twice and swelling his face, and he didn't even care.
Shang Wu instinctively felt that something was amiss.
For the past three years, Zhou Yanci has never shared any of the jewelry department's profits with her. It's impossible that she would suddenly feel guilty and become generous just because she took Chenmian back to sleep for one night.
Shang Wu remained silent for a long time before suddenly raising her hand and tapping Zhou Yanci's still swollen cheek with her fingertip.
"Does it still hurt?"
Zhou Yanci smiled and grasped her fingertips: "If you kiss me, it won't hurt anymore."
Shang Wu pulled him up and moved the chair around to let him sit down.
“I’m not angry that you’re in contact with Miss Shen, but I can’t accept that you brought her home without telling me.”
Zhou Yanci listened attentively and nodded obediently: "I really won't do it again."
Shang Wu finally smiled: "Profit sharing...you're really willing to give it away?"
"Have Xiao Dong bring the agreement now." Zhou Yanci took out her phone and called her assistant.
After hanging up, he took Shang Wu's hand and patted her leg.
Shang Wu didn't sit on his lap; instead, she moved the documents from the corner of the table and sat down.
Zhou Yanci was both amused and exasperated. He squeezed her hand and pretended to be casual: "By the way, I heard you went to Aoki District today."
Shang Wu paused for a moment.
Looking at Zhou Yanci's nonchalant demeanor, her heart sank.
Even though she never noticed what Zhou Yanci had done to the merchants in the past three years, Zhou Yanci never let her guard down and monitored their movements at all times.
Zhou Yanci found out about her arrival at the prison within hours.
Either he has people in prison, or he's been keeping an eye on his brother.
Hatred crept up his spine and into every part of his body.
Shang Wu tapped Zhou Yanci's palm with her fingertip: "Okay, I'm going to see my brother."
"Why did you suddenly go to see him? Did something happen over there?" Zhou Yanci showed just the right amount of concern.
Shang Wu looked dejected, her voice trembling: "I had a dream yesterday. I dreamt that my brother's face was covered in blood, and he questioned me about why I didn't go to see him. When I woke up, I felt uneasy and wanted to go see if something had happened to him."
"And then?" Zhou Yanci's expression tightened. "Is something really wrong with Brother Yun Shen? Is he alright?"
Shang Wu paused, meeting his worried eyes.
A born actor.
She could only offer these five words as a comment.
"Brother is fine, it's just..." Shang Wu pursed her lips, as if she had something difficult to say.
Zhou Yanci immediately said, "Just tell me what's wrong, Awu. I'll help if I can."
Shang Wu looked at him, her eyes blurry with tears: "I want to get my brother's sentence reduced so he can be released sooner, and then our family can be reunited. Yan Ci, can you help me find a lawyer?"
