Within two days, the results of the self-criticism and punishment were posted.
As soon as she left the office in the morning, Zhou Yunwan began to receive apologies from many people starting at noon. Most of them said that they had believed rumors and misunderstood her.
Their attitudes were all pretty good, and some even prepared apology gifts, but Zhou Yunwan didn't accept them. After all, some of them were just afraid of ending up like those who were punished, rather than really thinking that spreading rumors was wrong.
After dealing with these people for the entire day, Zhou Yunwan was more tired than any other day. Not physically tired, but mentally tired, so she couldn't wait to rush out of the building as soon as the rehearsal was over.
Outside the army, Shen Yanli had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as she got in the car, he noticed the fatigue on her face.
Shen Yanli took out the honey water that he had prepared in advance and handed it to her before starting the car: "What's wrong? The results haven't come out yet?"
She had told him about what happened in the art troupe two days ago. It was a matter of reputation and could be big or small, so it had to be handled properly. He wanted his father to come forward to resolve it, but he didn't expect her to say that it had been handled and there would be a result in two days.
As soon as she saw Shen Yanli's handsome face, Zhou Yunwan felt much better. She gulped down a few mouthfuls of honey water, and her heart and mouth were surrounded by the sweet taste. Then she told him what happened today.
"My work life is so terrible." Zhou Yunwan sighed. She was just here to work as a temporary worker, but she was still targeted.
...
...
She thought that she had neither conflict of interest nor much hatred with Liang Shuqin. At most, they had just quarreled twice. Was it necessary to treat her like this?
And there was Zhao Wanwan, who acted so concerned about Liang Shuqin in front of others and even pleaded for her, but when she was comforting Liang Shuqin behind others, she had an expression of obvious impatience.
The contrast was so great that she thought she was seeing things.
Plastic bestie? Zhou Yunwan wasn't sure, but after all, their relationship was not as good as it seemed.
"If you're not happy here, just go to another place. We don't want to suffer that injustice." Shen Yanli frowned slightly, and a solemn look flashed across his angular face. It was obvious that he was very distressed about her recent experience.
At this point, he added softly, "Wanwan, you know, even if you don't do anything, I can still support you."
The elegant and gentle male voice echoed in her ears, calling Zhou Yunwan back to her senses. She tilted her head and looked at Chen Yanli beside her thoughtfully: "Do you want me to stop working in the future? Stay at home and be a full-time wife?"
His words touched her a little, but not enough to make her heart flutter. After all, she didn't even want to get married now, so how could she be willing to be the woman behind him just because of some sweet words?
She didn't want to be like her mother, who gave up her favorite career for the one she loved. After getting married, she spent all her time on the family, doing the same thing for more than 20 years, wasting all her energy. In the end, she ended up with a tragic ending with her husband cheating on her and her daughter dying tragically.
Although people are different and all men cannot be generalized, and Chen Yanli is not her scumbag father, she dare not gamble that she is the lucky one among thousands.
It takes a lot of courage to gamble the rest of your life.
Thinking of this, she lowered her eyes and said tactfully in a joking tone, "I don't want to do that. I'm a career-oriented woman!"
Hearing this, Shen Yanli tightened his grip on the steering wheel, and looked at her with tender eyes, full of doting: “Wanwan, I have the ability and confidence to make you live a good life, but of course I don’t want to see you tired and suffering.”
He saw her tiredness and hard work these days. She had classes during the day and rehearsals in the afternoon, so she had to stay up late to memorize her lines. He could see the faint light coming from her room almost every day.
Likewise, he also saw her passion and hard work. She was shining for her favorite career, emitting a light that was completely different from usual.
He didn't want this light to be slowly extinguished by being bullied and wronged, so he said what he just said, but his original intention was not to trap her at home.
"I know you really like being an actor. I respect your choice and will not blindly interfere in your career."
"The reason I say this is just to let you know that I have your solid support. If one day in the future you don't want to continue to venture out, I will be there to support you."
Chen Yanli was driving seriously, his profile was handsome and smooth, his eyes were as deep as the night sky, yet so frank and passionate, his affectionate look was so touching that Zhou Yunwan's heartbeat became faster and faster.
Chen Yanli is not as chauvinistic as most men of this era who interfere with your decisions and choices under the pretext of doing good for you and make you act according to his wishes.
Every word he said was thoughtful of her. He was gentle and reliable. Such respect and empathy were very rare.
Zhou Yunwan stared at the red tips of his ears hidden in his hair and couldn't help but murmur, "You will shake me if you say that."
Shen Yanli suppressed her embarrassment and looked at her in confusion: "What are you wavering about?"
Zhou Yunwan shook her head, not wanting to continue, and hurriedly changed the subject: "Do you have a handkerchief? I accidentally spilled some honey water."
Shen Yanli saw that she was deliberately evading, and the arc of his thin lips pressed down two points, and said: "It should be in the briefcase in the back seat."
Following his words, Zhou Yunwan turned around and her eyes fell on the briefcase lying alone on the back seat.
Looking at the clean and tidy seats, a few blurry images suddenly flashed through her mind, and then she uncontrollably thought of the ridiculous incident that happened here a few days ago.
It was the first time she had used her hands to help, but the car was too cramped and she was too shy to look carefully.
However, through the feeling of her hands, she could still judge that it was quite considerable.
Zhou Yunwan turned her head and glanced at someone who was driving seriously. Her eyes moved and fell on his nose. Ahem, it seems that the saying is true: people with big noses tend to have big other parts of their body too.
Her gaze was too scorching, Shen Yanli seemed to notice something, his dark eyes turned slightly, revealing some doubts, he asked softly: “Wanwan, what are you looking at?”
"I didn't see anything." Her voice was filled with panic.
After saying that, she stretched out her arm to hook the handle of the briefcase, but because of the obstruction of the seat belt, it was still a little bit short. She had to lean forward half of her body, but unexpectedly her foot slipped and she fell forward.
She subconsciously grabbed something nearby for leverage, but accidentally grabbed Shen Yanli's thigh.
His muscles were tight and hard, except where his fingertips brushed against them...
Zhou Yunwan's cheeks turned red instantly. How could this broken hand grab whatever he thought of?
