The CEO's husband didn't come home every night, and Secretary Chu was angry

Chu Mu was slightly surprised that Zhang Tingyu would actually congratulate her. She had a faint smile on her lips, and her eyes were bright, but she wasn't hinting at anything.

However, the difference in attitude before and after is really huge.

"Thank you, second sister-in-law." Chu Mu touched his cup to hers.

Zhang Tingyu took a sip and put down the cup. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lin Jiaojiao coming down from upstairs. Tears were still on her face.

"Oh, Jiaojiao, what's wrong?" Sister-in-law Wen Zhao was the first to speak, but she was just polite with no concern in her eyes.

A hint of impatience flashed in Zhang Tingyu's eyes, but when he raised his head, his face was full of concern. He stood up and said, "Why are you crying, Jiaojiao? Did Feng Teng bully you?"

Chu Mu saw Zhang Tingyu's emotions clearly, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

What does Zhang Tingyu mean by this?

A sugar-coated bullet, or another motive?

"Aunt, I'm fine, it's just that my eyes suddenly feel a little uncomfortable." The servant pulled out a chair and Lin Jiaojiao sat down.

"Is your tear incontinence coming back again?" Wen Zhao frowned and asked with concern, but there was clearly a hint of ridicule in his eyes.

Lin Jiaojiao's eyes immediately turned cold, knowing that she was mocking her.

"No, aunt, I'm just feeling unwell." Lin Jiaojiao never took people who were useless to her seriously, so Wen Zhao's sarcastic remarks were nothing to her.

Wen Zhao stopped talking, but Old Lady Yi spoke up and said, "If your eyes are really uncomfortable, you should see a doctor as soon as possible. Otherwise, crying so much in the morning will not be good."

The old lady's tone was soft, but her words were like sharp blades, piercing into Lin Jiaojiao's heart.

Lin Jiaojiao immediately lowered her head, a secretive look in her eyes. She nodded obediently and said, "Okay."

"Let's eat, and don't talk about tears at the dinner table from now on." Old Mrs. Yi said with a little emotion.

When people get older, the thing they fear most is tears, as if they are keeping them for themselves.

After breakfast, Yi Yichen and Chu Mu also prepared to go home.

Yi Yichen was called to the study by the old man for something urgent. Chu Mu was standing at the door waiting for the car to arrive, with several servants holding gift boxes beside him.

At this time, Zhang Tingyu stepped forward and winked at the servants. The two of them left with a look of detachment. Zhang Tingyu said, "Chu Mu, what you want, Lin Jiaojiao can't give you, but I can give it to you."

Chu Mu suddenly looked at Zhang Tingyu and chuckled, "What do you mean?"

"If you want to find Lin Ji, I can provide you with clues." Zhang Tingyu looked into Chu Mu's eyes and said ambitiously, "As long as you agree to one condition of mine."

As she expected, Zhang Tingyu went to see Lin Jiaojiao that day because he had received a clue about Lin's business. However, the cooperation with Lin Jiaojiao had just been finalized, and she wanted to observe Lin Jiaojiao.

Last night's card game made her realize that Lin Jiaojiao's greatest intelligence was used on Yi Fengteng, and it would not be of any help to the Yi family in the future. That's why she turned to Chu Mu.

Chu Mu looked at her without disguising anything and asked, "What conditions does Second Sister-in-law want?"

"You've got the royal family's order. Your next plan should be to do some marketing for your studio to capitalize on the traffic from the royal family and E-shine."

Zhang Tingyu said confidently, "Coupled with the good reputation the studio has established, there will be no problem in taking the company to the next level. But..."

Zhang Tingyu hesitated to speak. Chu Mu looked at her without saying anything, wanting to hear what she would say next.

Seeing Chu Mu's interest, Zhang Tingyu continued, "But currently there are only two people in your studio, plus the independent designer you are in contact with, there are only three people.

Obviously, these three people can't catch up to this wave of dividends, but the most important thing in high-end jewelry is design and gem quality. If you have a natural talent for design, but you don't have the ore, it's not easy to buy good gems.

Otherwise, you wouldn't have to sacrifice yourself for an emerald."
