After being reborn, I became the big boss's darling.

Not long after, it was time to go to work again.

Ji Nianci checked his phone and found that Shen Ceyan had not replied to him.

However, she could understand. He was just a small employee, yet he was so busy. Ji Nianci couldn't imagine how much work he, as the president of the Shen Group, had to do every day.

Almost everyone had returned, and Xiao Siyu arrived just in time. She was still yawning, clearly looking like she hadn't woken up properly.

As soon as she returned, she saw Ji Nianci sitting at her desk, which was covered with design drafts, indicating that she had been working on it for quite some time.

Xiao Siyu sighed, "Nianci, you're so diligent, I'm ashamed of myself."

Suddenly, her voice held a hint of surprise:

"You didn't even take a lunch break and just stayed here the whole time, did you?"

Zhao Qiuyue, who was standing nearby, heard this, but only glanced at her indifferently, a hint of disdain flashing across her lips. She then picked up her cup, got up, and walked towards the tea room.

Ji Nianci naturally sensed that this person had no goodwill towards her, but she didn't care. As long as Zhao Qiuyue didn't provoke her, she naturally wouldn't take her seriously.

She smiled at Xiao Siyu, but didn't tell the truth, "Of course not, I just got back a little earlier than you."

Xiao Siyu was relieved: "That's good. Health is the foundation of everything."

Ci Ji smiled and agreed.

Not long after, Zhao Qiuyue returned. She glanced at Ji Nianci, who was working diligently beside her, and casually said, "Hurry up and finish it. I need it before I leave work."

“…Okay, Sister Qiuyue.”

Ji Nianci had been working non-stop for half a day and hadn't eaten much, so he was actually quite tired and just wanted to take a short break. But Zhao Qiuyue seemed to have noticed and started urging him on again. She inwardly groaned and had no choice but to speed up.

A short while later, Lin Cheng appeared in the design department carrying several large bags, followed by two employees who were also carrying several large bags.

When the design department staff saw Lin Cheng, they all greeted him respectfully: "Hello, Assistant Lin."

Lin Cheng was completely unpretentious, smiling and responding to everyone.

"Well, everyone, thank you for your hard work. This is the takeout that our CEO Shen ordered for you. It's some afternoon tea, with food and drinks. Please share it with everyone in a bit."

After saying that, he called to the two people behind him: "Come on, carry all these things over to everyone."

When the design department heard that there was food, and that it was Mr. Shen's treat, they cheered and began to flatter him.

"President Shen is so kind, he even goes to the trouble of treating us lowly employees to afternoon tea."

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect that President Shen, who holds such a high position, would still remember us lowly employees."

"Of course! Otherwise, why do you think I went to such lengths to get into the Shen Group? Not only are the benefits and compensation good, but the company's systems are also very humane. Most importantly, the leaders are great too, don't you all agree?"

Hearing everyone's high praise for Shen Ceyan, whether it was genuine or partly flattery, Ji Nianci felt genuinely happy and a unique sense of pride.

After all, this person is her husband.

“Of course, there are so many people outside who want to get in but can’t,” Zhao Qiuyue suddenly said.

"So those who got in by some unknown means should straighten out their minds, work hard, and stop thinking about things they shouldn't. Improving their abilities is the right path. Otherwise, people will laugh at us and think that our Shen Group hires just anyone."

She picked up the cup next to her, took a small sip, and spoke softly. Everyone else was so engrossed in the joy of having free afternoon tea that only the few people sitting next to her could hear her.

Ji Nianci pursed her lips; she realized that Zhao Qiuyue was referring to her.

She smiled indifferently. Zhao Qiuyue simply felt that this young girl, with no reputation in the industry, had managed to gain praise from the HR department and easily sit in the same office as her. She was convinced that Zhao Qiuyue had gotten in through some improper means.

But it's alright, she doesn't care about any of that. She will prove with her work that she deserves to sit in this position.

Ji Nianci pretended not to hear her words and continued to focus her thoughts on her work.

Seeing her reaction, Zhao Qiuyue felt as if her long speech had hit cotton, leaving her breathless and unable to catch her breath. She snorted angrily and turned her head away.

Colleagues from the design department are helping to distribute afternoon tea.

When Zhao Qiuyue was assigned the memorial tablet, she suddenly coughed.

The colleague paused as he was about to hand her the afternoon tea on her desk.

Zhao Qiuyue was admiring her newly done manicure when she said casually, "The intern doesn't need to eat. She's new and not very familiar with the company's work style yet. She needs to use her brain a lot, and eating too many sweets in the afternoon isn't good for her mental energy. She should wait until she finishes her work before eating."

Zhao Qiuyue turned her head to look at Ji Nianci, a hint of smugness in her smile: "You agree, right, Nianci?"

"This..." The colleague seemed a little intimidated by Zhao Qiuyue. His hand froze in mid-air, unsure whether to give it or not.

Ci Ji didn't want to involve innocent people. She smiled amicably at her colleague and waved her hand, indicating that she didn't need to give it to her.

The colleague looked apologetic and withdrew his hand.

Ji Nianci was too lazy to pay attention to Zhao Qiuyue. Tang Zhi had told her long ago that there were all sorts of strange people in the workplace, and that she shouldn't let other people's words affect her emotions.

I just need to focus on my work.

Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Zhao Qiuyue was in a good mood and stopped paying attention to her, focusing on her own work.

CEO's office.

"Sir, afternoon tea has been delivered. When I arrived, Madam was still working; I wonder if she had taken a break."

Shen Ceyan frowned slightly: "Is the workload in the design department that heavy?"

"It's alright. Maybe it's because Madam is new here and has a lot to get started with, so she's a bit busy."

"Okay, I understand. Has she eaten anything?"

Lin Cheng replied calmly, "I didn't see her. I left after delivering the things. You told me not to let Madam know that we found out she was working at the company, so I didn't dare to look at her. It wouldn't be good if I accidentally made eye contact with Madam."

Shen Ceyan nodded.

Assistant Lin then asked, "Boss, should we continue looking for a job for Madam that you asked me to find before?"

Shen Ceyan said calmly, "No need."

He knew that Jinianci was looking for a job. Although Jinianci said she didn't need his help, he still asked Lin Cheng to find her a lot of good positions.

I never expected that she would actually get a job here.

But that’s fine.

Shen Ceyan thought to himself.
