Shen Zhiyi's mood improved after she finished eating.
"Your bed isn't comfortable, but the food is quite good." She finished the last sip of juice and contentedly picked up a tissue to wipe her mouth.
Upon hearing this, Yan Jili lifted his eyelids and looked towards the lounge.
Don't you sleep well?
He looked away and said calmly, "It's late, I'll have the driver take you home."
"I'll pick you up first thing tomorrow morning, and we'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau together."
"Aren't you coming back with me?" Shen Zhiyi asked, taken aback.
Yan Jili's gaze was deep as he scanned her face inch by inch.
His Adam's apple slid slowly across his tie.
He recalled the feeling of holding her just now.
The temperature, the awareness, and even the delicate, sweet scent of gardenias are still vividly etched in my mind, impossible to dispel.
This is not a good sign.
He looked away, his voice indifferent.
"Um."
"I still have some things to do."
"I'll stay at the law firm tonight."
Shen Zhiyi didn't argue with him. "Then I'll go first."
She was exhausted after a long day.
After her afternoon nap, she felt dizzy and her limbs ached.
Now that I'm full, I feel even sleepier.
She yawned and muttered under her breath, "It's a good thing I'm not your employee, so I don't have to suffer overtime with you."
"The coffee is awful, and I can't sleep either, it's so miserable..."
"What did you say?" Yan Jili looked up.
"nothing."
Shen Zhiyi secretly made a face, picked up her bag and left.
After she left.
Yan Jili pressed the secretary's bell.
Secretary Zhang Leyang walked heavily into the office.
Here it comes...
Ultimately, we still have to face the storms...
He had already drafted his resignation letter in his mind...
Yan Jili didn't even look up.
"Have the HR manager come over tomorrow."
"Yes, Yan Lu."
Zhang Leyang closed his eyes and silently shed tears.
Starting today.
He is no longer the sunny and cheerful little boy.
He will become a hypocrite who appears sunny on the surface but is actually putting on a facade.
With a pained expression, Zhang Leyang asked nervously, "Attorney Yan, will my accumulated bonus for this quarter be paid out along with this month's salary?"
Yan Jili frowned and looked up at him.
"Of course not."
Zhang Leyang was struck by lightning.
Okay, okay...
This means even the bonus was deducted...
Indeed, they are ruthless and merciless...
"Aren't the bonuses paid out all at the end of the year?" Yan Jili said coldly.
"Also, you've been working a lot of overtime these past few days. I'll check with HR tomorrow and give you a raise."
"Huh?" Zhang Leyang was stunned.
"A raise?"
"Weren't you going to fire me?"
Yan Jili frowned deeply. "Why would I fire you?"
It seems I really have been working too much overtime.
People have become stupid.
Zhang Leyang: "So, why did you call me in...?"
"Draft a marriage agreement for me; I need it tomorrow." Yan Jili paused, then said, "This is extra performance pay; I'll give you a separate bonus for it."
After the initial shock, Zhang Leyang was overjoyed.
"Okay, okay!"
He is usually very strict but also very generous.
His extra red envelope must be a super huge sum!
It's out! It's out! It's out!
Unexpectedly, not only did he not resign, but he was also promoted, given a raise, and a bonus!
Hahahahahahaha!
Life has so many turning points!
He's a lively and cheerful little boy again!
"I'll take care of it right away!" he chuckled. "This marriage agreement is supposed to protect your premarital assets, right?"
“No.” Yan Jili’s expression remained calm.
"We must ensure that she receives the rights she deserves."
He felt annoyed just thinking about Shen Zhiyi crying.
Although it was a marriage arranged without any affection.
But it seems that she suffered a great injustice because of this fact.
He was stern and respectful; he wasn't the kind of person to bully women.
He looked up at Zhang Leyang.
He instructed, word by word, "Give her half of all the houses, cars, and savings under my name."
"In addition, the items auctioned off during the Shen family's bankruptcy will be re-auctioned in Shen Zhiyi's name and intended to be her premarital property to ensure that they are not harmed."
"The money came from my private account."
“Okay!” Zhang Leyang said seriously.
It seems he guessed correctly.
This Miss Shen is indeed extraordinary.
Yan Jili touched the Buddhist amulet in his pocket.
He lowered his eyes and pondered.
Why do you value this pendant that your grandmother gave you so much? Is it because you like jade?
He rubbed the cool, warm Buddha amulet with his knuckles.
He said in a deep voice, "Is there an auction of jade jewelry in the next couple of days?"
“Yes,” Zhang Leyang said, “the invitation has already been sent over.”
Should I refuse on your behalf as usual?
"No need." Yan Jili waved his hand. "You arrange a time, and I'll go there myself."
“Okay.” Zhang Leyang said in surprise.
Go in person...
He was shocked by far too much today.
"One more thing," Yan Jili pointed towards the lounge, "change the bedding tomorrow, make sure it's the softest and most comfortable."
Zhang Leyang nodded.
"I'll have the housekeeper come and collect the sheets tomorrow and replace them with new ones."
Yan Jili suddenly stopped.
She coughed slightly, a little awkwardly, "Don't throw away the bedding you took off; just put it in the closet."
"Understood." Zhang Leyang agreed outwardly, but inwardly he was cursing.
strangeness……
Yan Lu used to be quite a germaphobe.
Surprisingly, they didn't throw away the bedding that was changed this time.
Should we put it away?
