Zhao Qiuyue didn't dare to reveal what she had witnessed the day before. After all, the person behind Ji Nianci was Shen Ceyan, and she simply didn't have the courage to take the risk. Who would dare to easily provoke Shen Ceyan?

It's important to know that Shen Ceyan is a very famous figure in City A. He not only comes from a prominent family with a powerful background, but he is also ruthless and cunning. In City A, from the wealthy and powerful to ordinary people, everyone holds him in high esteem.

If this matter comes out from her, it would be tantamount to indirectly offending Shen Ceyan. At that point, the consequences would be far more serious than simply being unable to cope.

She understood that if she were to reveal what she had seen yesterday, the consequences would be dire. Therefore, she chose to remain silent for the time being.

As usual, Ci came over to ask her about her work schedule for the day.

She was an intern supervised by Zhao Qiuyue, and Zhao Qiuyue arranged most of her daily work.

“Last quarter, our design department’s evening gown sales plummeted. Director Deng said that everyone in our Group A has to submit one of their own evening gown designs, including you.”

Zhao Qiuyue was intently looking at the drawings she was working on, and said without looking up.

However, her tone remained as sarcastic as ever: "This task was assigned yesterday. Time is tight, and everyone is busy rushing to finish the drawings, unlike some people who can just take leave whenever they want. They haven't worked many days, but they have a lot of things to do."

In memory of Ci: "..."

What's wrong with her taking a day off? How did I step on her tail again?

"Sister Qiuyue, my request for leave shouldn't have anything to do with you, right? Don't worry, I'll submit the drawing on time."

When Zhao Qiuyue heard Ji Nianci talk back, she was about to scold her, but when she looked at her face, she ultimately held back.

"You'd better submit it on time, and make up for the work you missed yesterday too!"

"……OK."

I don't know what bad things I did in my past life to have encountered such an awful person.

Despite saying that, she was still secretly excited.

She finally had the opportunity to draw.

Because she was new to the company and an intern, she had been doing very basic work in the design department these days, either researching materials or doing odd jobs. Although she was busy, the work didn't really help her personally, and Zhao Qiuyue wouldn't assign her any more tasks.

She cherished this opportunity immensely.

But to be honest, it's been quite a while since she's formally designed any clothes, and picking it up again now is still a bit challenging for her.

So these past few days, she's been working exceptionally hard. Aside from eating and sleeping, she uses every spare moment to brainstorm ideas for her drafts. Even after get off work, she'll be drawing at home.

Even Shen Ceyan was somewhat dissatisfied.

He would occasionally walk up to her and say sourly, "Why do I feel like you're busier than me, the boss? You don't forget about work even after you're off work."

At that moment, Ci was seriously working on the design in his mind, not even bothering to glance at him.

"Of course! Do you think it's so easy for us lowly employees? You evil capitalists would never understand the pain of us working people."

"How did I become a wicked capitalist?" Shen Ceyan chuckled, picked her up from the chair, sat in her seat, and then let her sit on his lap.

"Hey, what are you doing..." This sudden change in posture caught Ji Nianci off guard.

"Tell me, how are you going to compensate me?" he said calmly.

Commemorating Ci: "?"

"What did I do this time? Why do you need to compensate me?"

Shen Ceyan raised an eyebrow and said with some dissatisfaction, "You still ask? During this time you've been here, I've picked you up from get off work every day, taken you out to eat, and even soaked your feet and dried your hair when you came back at night. But you, as soon as you come back, you're drawing. You spend more time in the study than I do. My first two work meetings were held in the living room."

And also, you don't eat properly. You just grab a couple of bites and go to your study. Go weigh yourself and see if you've lost a few pounds.

Shen Ceyan spoke fluently, without pausing for a single breath.

Ci's lips twitched slightly.

Well, he's here to vent to her.

She tilted her head slightly, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and in an instant, her gaze met that of the man in front of her.

The two were so close that they could feel each other's breath; their subtle scents mingled, creating an ambiguous and delicate atmosphere. Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

She coughed slightly, as if trying to avoid the question.

"Tell me, what compensation do you want?"

Shen Ceyan's gaze shifted downwards, focusing on a certain spot. His voice was hoarse: "What I want, don't you know?"
