Zhuang Shuqing’s face turned even redder, "I don’t miss you; it’s Monday, I have to go to work." Tʜe sourcᴇ of thɪs content ɪs N0velFire.ɴet
"Ha, boss lady, aren’t you working too hard? What about your employees?"
"Get lost, you should leave now. Oh, by the way, is Leng Yixing okay?"
Hearing his wife mention another man, he frowned, "He won’t die."
Zhuang Shuqing wanted to ask more, but Lu Jinyang didn’t give her a chance. He pressed down on her with a long French kiss before getting up contentedly and leaving.
Once Lu Jinyang left, she couldn’t fall back to sleep, so after lying in bed for a while, she got up and went to work.
She couldn’t remember how long she hadn’t gone to work; now, arriving at the studio, she felt a sense of estrangement.
The studio staff crowded around as they saw her return, all of them greeting her and mostly asking if she had dealt with her issues. Although she didn’t know how Gu Chen explained her absence, she could tell from their questions that the company hadn’t provided much detail, probably just saying that she had some family matters to take care of.
Back at her desk, Zhuang Shuqing subconsciously looked beside her and noticed that Lin Xiaoxiao hadn’t returned.
After tidying up her desk for a while, she took the manuscript she had written out of boredom over the last few days and headed to Gu Chen’s office. Halfway there, she remembered that the staff in the studio might not be aware of her identity. If she directly handed the manuscript to Gu Chen, it would be overstepping her boundaries.
She paused for a moment and changed direction, heading to the supervisor’s office.
Zhuang Shuqing stopped at the door as she heard voices inside. She gently knocked on the door.
She pushed the door and entered, to her surprise finding Lin Xiaoxiao in there too, currently discussing documents with Supervisor Chen.
Seeing her, both of them seemed somewhat surprised, especially Lin Xiaoxiao.
Zhuang Shuqing ignored her gaze and walked up to Supervisor Chen, "Supervisor Chen, I’m back."
Supervisor Chen nodded, "Have you settled your family matters?"
"Yes, thank you for your concern, everything has been settled."
"That’s good to hear. You’ve come at the right time, here’s an agreement from the film set. They specified that they want two reporters from our side to visit the set, and I think you all know what to do."
Lin Xiaoxiao said, "Supervisor Chen, I can handle it myself here. Shuqing just got back; her work..."
Before she could finish, Zhuang Shuqing interrupted her, "Supervisor Chen, these are the drafts I wrote at home during the last few days. I’m sorry for increasing the workload of my colleagues due to my personal issues."
Although Supervisor Chen was somewhat dissatisfied with Zhuang Shuqing’s unexplained leave of absence, her higher-ups had approved it, and she couldn’t do much. Indeed, according to what Zhuang Shuqing said, it had increased the workload of her colleagues. But seeing that Zhuang Shuqing hadn’t forgotten about work during her leave, her dissatisfaction had dissipated quite a bit.
So, she told Lin Xiaoxiao, "This is the work arrangement, and having an additional person will increase efficiency. It’s settled then; you two will head to the film set this afternoon. Shuqing, stop by my office to pick up some material after work."
Lin Xiaoxiao pursed her lips tightly and went out without saying a word.
Zhuang Shuqing followed close behind and left the supervisor’s office, then turned towards the general manager’s office.
Gu Chen had just reached the office door when he saw Zhuang Shuqing walking towards him, looking slightly surprised, "Sister-in-law, why did you come to work today?"
Zhuang Shuqing smiled, "If I don’t work, I will run out of money to spend."
"Heh, you’re joking," he said. With her spending habits, even if she were to spend several hundred times more lavishly, it would take her several lifetimes to deplete Lu Jinyang’s assets.
Only she, as his wife, was unaware of the extent of her husband’s wealth.
