Even by lunchtime, Ji Nianci still hadn't finished her work.

The people in the design department got up and left one after another. Even Zhao Qiuyue packed her things and left without saying goodbye, as if she had completely forgotten about her.

There was a girl with a round face who, seeing that she was still sitting at her workstation, walked over in her direction, extended her hand and said, "Hello. You must be Nianci, right? My name is Xiao Siyu. I'm from Group B. We'll be colleagues from now on."

Jinian Ci was somewhat flattered and shook her hand back: "Hello, hello, I am Jinian Ci. Please take care of me in the future."

Xiao Siyu smiled amicably and then said, "It's time to get off work now. You should go eat and rest. We can do these things this afternoon. You've just started, don't overwork yourself."

Ci had been here all morning, and this was the first person to genuinely care about her. She was somewhat moved and gave a faint smile. "I know, you go eat first. I'll be there as soon as I finish this."

Xiao Siyu patted her shoulder, "Okay, I'll go first, you should hurry up too."

After saying goodbye to her, Ciji threw herself back into her work.

Since graduating from university, she has rarely touched design work and has become somewhat rusty with various software programs. Now, starting over, she has to familiarize herself with each one, which slows down her work efficiency. However, she is becoming more and more enthusiastic because she truly loves the design industry. When she chose her major, she did so without hesitation because she liked it.

Ji Nianci had been working for an unknown amount of time when her stomach started growling. She glanced at the time; it was lunch break. The company provided a break room for employees, and some who lived nearby would go home, but the vast majority would choose to return to the break room after lunch. After all, the company was in the city center, and how many people could afford to live nearby?

Everyone else has gone to rest, and she's the only one left in the office.

She was quite hungry, but didn't want to waste time eating, so she slipped into the break room, grabbed two cakes from the dessert section, got a cup of coffee, and returned to her workstation.

After finishing her meal in a few bites, she buried herself in her work again.

……

Lin Cheng came to deliver some materials to the director of the design department. It was lunch break and no one was around. He originally planned to leave the materials in the director's office and then leave, but when he arrived at the design department, he heard the intermittent sound of typing.

Lin Cheng wondered who was working so diligently, and casually glanced into the office, only to see a familiar face.

Madam? How could it be Madam?

He had only intended to take a quick look, but his steps involuntarily stopped.

Ji Nianci was sitting in his office chair, his eyes fixed on the computer in front of him, working diligently, completely unaware of the person standing not far away.

Lin Cheng's gaze shifted downwards, and he saw the work badge that Ji Nianci was wearing around her neck. He was completely baffled.

When did Madam start working here? How come he didn't know? Could it have been arranged by the master? But why would the master assign Madam to such a low-level position?

Although he had many questions in his mind, he still did not go forward to disturb them.

Instead, he turned and left, returning to his top-floor office. He even forgot to deliver the documents.

As soon as he arrived, he immediately knocked on the door of Shen Ceyan's office and strode inside.

The man in the office was also working diligently, and his expression and posture were exactly the same as Ji Nianci's.

After seeing it in the early morning, a thought involuntarily popped into my head: the couple looks quite alike.

However, the thought only flashed through his mind for a moment. He quickly walked up and asked, "Sir, have you arranged for Madam to work at the company?"

The man's fingers, which were holding the mouse, paused for a moment, and he hesitated to press the button. He looked up, his face showing a rare expression of confusion.

"what?"

Seeing his expression, Assistant Lin became even more puzzled: "I saw Madam when I went to the design department to deliver the materials. She was working at her workstation, wearing her employee badge."

Shen Ceyan frowned, his long, slender fingers tapping absently on the table.

It was obvious that he knew nothing about the matter.

Assistant Lin thought for a moment, then said, "Could it be that Madam applied for the position? But with Madam's resume, getting in shouldn't be too difficult."

"You just saw her working in the design department?" Shen Ceyan asked, frowning.

"Yes, I saw that Madam was very focused. She didn't even notice me when I passed by, but I didn't disturb her. I came up to you right away."

"Isn't this break time?"

He remembered that Ci had a habit of taking a midday nap.

"Uh... I don't know about that. But when I went downstairs, only Madam was left in the design department; the others weren't at their workstations."

Shen Ceyan's brows remained furrowed, and he remained silent.

Assistant Lin thought for a moment and then asked, "Should I go down and ask Madam now?"

"Forget it," Shen Ceyan said, stopping him.

"Go and send me the list of recently hired employees in the design department."

"Good boss."

After Lin Cheng left, Shen Ceyan opened his phone, looked at his chat box with Ji Nianci, typed a few words and sent them.

Meanwhile, Ji Nianci was still busy when her phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and looked at it.

It's information about Shen Ceyan.

She opened it, and the person had only sent a brief four-word message:

What are you doing?

When she saw that the man had sent her a message, which was rare for him, Ji Nianci was taken aback. Then she remembered that she came to work here because she wanted to spend more time with him.

Now look what's happened! Half a day has passed, and she hasn't even left her chair much, let alone gone up to be with him. She'd really underestimated the importance of going to work.

No wonder Tang Zhi sounded so incomprehensible when she heard that she was going to work last time.

Looking at the unfinished work in her hands, Ji Nianci sighed softly.

I'll go see him tomorrow.

Ji Nianci originally intended to surprise him, and since she hadn't seen him yet, she didn't plan to tell the truth.

I'm taking a nap at home, just woke up. What about you? Still busy?

After sending the message, Ci Ji sent it without waiting for a reply. She put her phone aside and turned her attention back to her computer.

She now feels that her time is very precious.

Shen Ceyan looked at the message he had just received on his phone, his face expressionless.

This girl never tells the truth.
