The property manager parked his car by the roadside and leaned out of the window to look at the two little orange cats: "These two little guys appeared here at the beginning of spring this year. A young lady in our property management often feeds them."

"There aren't many stray animals in the neighborhood, except for these two kittens that appear out of nowhere every day. I haven't seen them for several days."

"Miss Shen, be careful not to get scratched or bitten. After all, it's a stray cat, and it would be troublesome if it got hurt."

Shen Ci smiled and thanked him, then watched as the property manager drove away slowly in his water truck, the water mist scattering and reflecting the light in streaks of seven colors.

"Meow……"

Little Orange rubbed its fluffy head against Shen Ci's hand, looking incredibly adorable.

"Would you like to come home with me?" Shen Ci asked the kitten with a gentle expression.

"Meow……"

"Sigh." Shen Ci sighed softly and slowly stood up. There was often no one at home these days, so she couldn't keep pets, otherwise she would have already done so.

The two little orange cats circled around Shen Ci's feet twice before darting into the roadside bushes and disappearing.

Shen Ci didn't dwell on it anymore. She drove home first, and then video-called her mother.

After the video call connected, Shen Jingjing's background showed her sister's shop. Upon seeing this, Shen Ci asked in surprise, "Mom, my aunt's husband hasn't been discharged from the hospital yet?"

"He's been discharged from the hospital, but the burn area still can't get wet. This shop is all steamy and damp. Anyway, I'm usually fine, so it's okay to help your aunt a little longer."

Shen Ci nodded in understanding upon hearing this.

Shen Jingjing looked radiant, with firm, smooth skin and a rosy complexion, and she had also lost some weight.

It seems that the beauty and dance cards were worth it, as the effects were particularly noticeable on my mother, making her look much younger than before.

"Mom, I saw Uncle Jiang yesterday," Shen Ci told her mother directly.

Shen Jingjing stared in surprise: "You saw them? I hadn't heard from you for so long, I thought you hadn't contacted them."

Her daughter had mentioned a new project she wanted to discuss with the Jiang Group, but Shen Jingjing thought that such a large corporation as the Jiang Group was not easy to cooperate with. Since her daughter hadn't brought it up again, she assumed that the matter had probably been dropped.

Unexpectedly, Shen Ci suddenly said that she had seen the person.

Shen Ci then told her mother everything that had happened yesterday. There was no need to go into too much detail about this kind of thing with her mother. As long as her mother knew that she was really making money through investments, and that her mother had a clear understanding of the source of her wealth, she could spend money with peace of mind.

This time it's a collaboration with the Jiang family, so the credibility is off the charts. My mother won't have any more doubts when she arrives in Longcheng.

"Then Mr. Jiang has been a great help to you!" Shen Jingjing exclaimed upon hearing this.

Shen Ci nodded in agreement: "Yes, Uncle Jiang didn't think much about it and directly put us in contact with the department head of their company."

"Then I have to thank them very much."

"He is the chairman of the Jiang Group and lacks nothing. As long as our project is good enough, it will be a great benefit to the Jiang Group. The best outcome would be a win-win situation in the end."

Shen Jingjing didn't understand these things, but she knew that if someone helped her, she should thank them; it was a matter of social etiquette.

Shen Yingying arrived right after Shen Jingjing hung up the phone. Shen Jingjing pulled her aside and asked, "Yingying, do you think it's possible to ship our roast meats and similar items to Longcheng?"

"Longcheng? You're sending it to Aci?"

Shen Yingying shook her head and said, "That won't do. What we eat is all about freshness. No matter how fast the delivery is, it will still be overnight. Even if it doesn't spoil, it will taste much worse."

"Besides, what doesn't Longcheng have? If Aci wants to eat roast meat, surely there's somewhere she can get it?"

Shen Jingjing quickly explained, "It's not for Aci. Do you remember the person I saved at the restaurant last time...?"

After giving Shen Yingying a brief explanation, Shen Jingjing added, "Thinking that what Aci said is right, such a big boss doesn't lack anything, so giving gifts doesn't show any sincerity."

“You can’t send roast meats!” Shen Yingying laughed. “Even if you fly there in the morning to deliver it yourself, it will take five or six hours on the road, right? After being sealed for five or six hours, the taste will be much worse.”

Shen Jingjing nodded, agreeing with Shen Yingying's point.

"Oh dear, if you ask me, if you don't know what to give, it's better not to give anything at all. It's better to avoid making a hasty decision and giving something that doesn't suit their taste, which would only cause more trouble. A boss as big as him certainly doesn't lack anything."

Shen Jingjing understood this principle, but she felt that it was the thought that counted, and as long as it was heartfelt, people would definitely appreciate it.

Otherwise, Aci wouldn't be able to accept such great help from others without feeling at ease.

She wanted to do something for her daughter.

But for a moment, my mind was a complete mess, and I didn't know how to help. I was also afraid that, as Yingying said, I might do something wrong and cause trouble for my daughter.

Shen Li's filming schedule has been speeding up recently. Whenever the set design overlaps with her scenes, the director will prioritize filming with her.

The assistant director, in particular, had witnessed how terrifying the people behind Shen Li were after what happened last time. He, who had always treated Shen Li very well, was now taking even better care of her.

However, there are bound to be some rumors circulating within the production crew these days. Although the incident last time did not spread online, many people inside saw Zhang Heng's miserable state.

These are the children of capital. The fact that Shen Li and Xu Zishan were able to escape unscathed from this incident, and even teach Zhang Heng a lesson and kick him out of the crew, suggests that everyone has their own guesses about the hidden reasons behind it all.

Some people think that Kate Tsui is not simple.

But many people believe that Shen Li has a powerful backer.

Shen Li had asked the assistant director, but he refused to say anything, only saying that the company had handled and resolved the issue.

"Ah Li, are you still able to handle it? You need to take care of your health even if you're rushing to meet the deadline."

Seeing that Shen Li had been working non-stop for several days, Xiao Yun couldn't help but worry.

Shen Li smiled and shook her head to indicate that she was fine: "Sister Kuan has made all the arrangements. Although it's a bit tiring, I can still manage."

Apan brewed her some brown sugar ginger tea, and Xiaoyun took it and handed it to her: "Have some. Today is the start of your period, so don't push yourself. If you feel unwell, be sure to tell me, okay?"

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry."

Just then, the half-open door to the lounge was suddenly pushed open, and Ren Jia stood in the doorway with a half-smile on her face. She knocked on the door and looked at Shen Li, saying, "Li, something interesting has happened outside. Aren't you going to go and see?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Li subconsciously exchanged a glance with Xiao Yun before turning to Ren Jia and softly asking, "Sister Jiajia, what's all the commotion about?"

Xiaoyun said, "Ali, let's not join in the fun. We need to change our clothes and get ready for the next event."

Ren Jia said to herself, "Song Anyu hit someone, and it sounds like it has something to do with you."
