Yu Sheng hesitated for a moment before saying, "We are half-siblings."
Bu Yizhuo paused for a moment before realizing what Yu Sheng meant by 'half-siblings', but still asked uncertainly, "Your mother is his father's..."
Bu Yizhuo didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.
Yu Sheng nodded.
Bu Yizhuo's expression changed drastically; he looked at Yu Sheng with shining eyes, as if he had seen a savior: "Why didn't you say so sooner?"
Yu Sheng chuckled softly but didn't reply.
Looking at Yu Sheng, Bu Yizhuo suddenly wondered if Gu Ye had chosen to cooperate with them because of Yu Sheng, and if Shang Yan had also come for her.
But why are they fighting tooth and nail over an investment when one is her husband and the other is her nominal brother?
Bu Yizhuo couldn't figure it out, but now wasn't the time to think about it.
He gave a somewhat ingratiating smile and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."
Yu Sheng said respectfully, "Please don't say that. I've caused you trouble. But... please don't tell anyone else about Shang Yan being my brother."
Bu Yizhuo readily agreed: "Okay! Then I'll tell them that after Mr. Shang learned about our situation, he agreed to postpone the tour out of understanding."
"Okay." Yu Sheng nodded in response, and then said, "I'd like to have a meeting with everyone in the morning to discuss this, and then invite you and everyone to lunch at noon. During lunch, you can inform everyone about my resignation. What do you think?"
"Yes, of course!"
...
Because she was leaving the company, Yu Sheng cherished the last moments she spent with her colleagues, and even started to like Li Ran, whom she usually disliked.
The project to compose music for Fukukawa's new car model has been underway for several days, but there's still no progress, and everyone is quite anxious.
Zhou Jiashu said, "Director, I think we should stop discussing this. Continuing to discuss it like this will only waste time. There are seven of us, so why don't we each contribute a piece of music? Whichever piece gets everyone's approval, we can continue to refine that piece. Right now, without anything, we're just talking in vain."
Zhou Jiashu's suggestion was approved by his friends.
Bu Yizhuo immediately made a decision: "Then let's do as Zhou Jiashu said. Since time is limited, I'll give you two days. You don't need to come to the concert hall during these two days. You can go anywhere. Just give me the piece in two days!"
The young men were all excited when they heard this.
Bu Yizhuo glanced at his watch and, seeing it was lunchtime, said, "Let's go out for lunch today."
Li Ran asked with a smile, "Is there something good to celebrate? You're actually going out to eat?"
You'll see when you get there!
After Bu Yizhuo finished speaking, he looked at Yu Sheng with some melancholy.
He was reluctant to let Yu Sheng leave. Yu Sheng's skills were excellent, and she was the face of the business. Finding someone new would not only take time to gel, but the key was that they might not be as good as Yu Sheng... Sigh, he could only take it one step at a time...
The restaurant's fish-shaped percussion instrument had been booked long ago and was handled by their concert hall.
After everyone arrived at the private room, they began ordering food.
At this point, no one knew that Yu Sheng was going to resign, and they were all excitedly chattering away.
It wasn't until the food was served that Bu Yizhuo said with some sadness, "Today's meal was actually paid for by Yu Sheng."
Li Ran was sitting next to Yu Sheng. Hearing what Bu Yizhuo said, she smiled and asked Yu Sheng, "Yu Sheng, why did you suddenly invite us all to dinner? Is today your birthday?"
Yu Sheng smiled and said, "Today is not my birthday."
Xu Lina asked in confusion, "Then why did you treat everyone to dinner?"
After hesitating for a moment, Yu Sheng said, "I'm resigning today!"
The group of people at the table were stunned at first, then they all showed expressions of disbelief, and then they asked Yu Sheng in a flurry of excited questions why she had resigned.
The reactions were even greater than when Bu Yizhuo heard that Yu Sheng had resigned!
After all, they are a whole system where a single move affects the whole!
Bu Yizhuo raised his hand to signal everyone to quiet down. He first explained why Yu Sheng resigned, and then addressed the question that everyone was concerned about—what would happen to Fuchuan's contract after Yu Sheng left?
“I have already reported Yu Sheng’s resignation to the higher-ups. They will assign us a skilled pianist. If you know any suitable pianists, you can recommend them to me.”
Although everyone could understand why Yu Sheng resigned, and Bu Yizhuo had made arrangements for the follow-up matters, everyone was still disappointed by Yu Sheng's sudden resignation, and their faces completely lost the radiant spirit they had when they first came in.
Yu Sheng couldn't drink alcohol, so she stood up with her juice and said, "I know I'm sorry to everyone for resigning now, but I really have no other choice. Please understand. Thank you for taking care of me these past six months."
"You haven't let anyone down; you've done a great job in the past six months."
When Zhou Jiashu said this, his friends all agreed.
Their low spirits stemmed entirely from their fear that Yu Sheng's sudden departure would negatively impact the future development of their entire team.
But if we put aside this selfish aspect, the fact is indeed as Zhou Jiashu said—Yu Sheng has done a very good job in the past six months!
Zhou Jiashu stood up, holding his wine glass, and said, "Congratulations on becoming a mother."
Everyone raised their glasses to congratulate Yu Sheng.
Yu Sheng smiled wryly and thanked everyone.
As Zhou Jiashu tilted his head back to drink, his eyes unconsciously glanced at Yu Sheng's belly.
During this time, Yu Sheng frequently asked for leave. He asked her if something had happened. She said it was a family matter, but he didn't expect that she was pregnant. The thought of a little life growing inside her filled Zhou Jiashu with mixed feelings.
