"What's there to say? You're the one involved, do I need to explain? You're not just showing off your relationship, are you? Let me tell you, showing off your relationship leads to a quick breakup. Don't think I'm cursing you, that's what everyone says."

"Stop talking nonsense, let me hear what you saw."

Shi Yuan pouted and reluctantly began, "You don't even have enough money for your own rent, you can't even afford a cup of coffee, yet you're saving up to buy her a necklace;"

"A person who clearly couldn't do anything, after being with her for two months, somehow managed to become a jack-of-all-trades, from cleaning and mopping to cooking—there's nothing she can't do."

"I work overtime until late every night, but I get up early every day to queue up for her favorite breakfast, even if it means traveling halfway around the city. There are just too many stories to tell. I mean, what exactly do you see in this idle rich girl?"

What's wrong with you? You're perfect in every way, okay? No wonder you're single, you have no taste!

"Mind your own business! I like it this way."

"Hmph, I knew you'd say that. Shen Yanqiu, do you even know that whoever gives their heart first loses? You'll be kicked out of here!"

Shi Yuan was right. Shen Yanqiu had already been kicked out by her. If their identities hadn't been switched, she wouldn't have paid any attention to him now, let alone heard about all the things he had done for her.

The necklace that Shen Yanqiu gave her was tossed aside carelessly and is now long gone.

When she first received the necklace, she wasn't particularly moved. After all, it was the cheapest gift she had ever received.

Perhaps even Shen Yanqiu, who gave it to her, was aware of this, which is why he never asked why he had never worn it.

However, the trivial household chores that she thought should have been handled by the housekeeper were all done by him personally.

Looking back, what exactly did I say to him when he was busy and his forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat?

Shen Yanqiu, if you do all this, what's the point of having a housekeeper? You might as well become a housekeeper yourself!

Is that right? I think that's what I meant. Looking back now, I realize how awful I was!

But why would Shen Yanqiu like me? Shouldn't he see me as full of flaws, just like Shi Yuan?

Besides, he's never said he likes me; these are all just Shi Yuan's delusions. What if he just has bad eyesight? I shouldn't be so narcissistic.

"You're a single dog, and you have the nerve to lecture me? You should reflect on yourself!"

"How can you be so ungrateful? It's like a dog biting Lü Dongbin, not recognizing a kind heart."

When you stay away from her, your face and eyes are full of accusations against her.

"Yes, you know what's good for you, you're amazing."

"That doesn't sound nice. Get lost, I don't want to listen to your nonsense."

Zhu Tingyue got up, but Shi Yuan called her back: "Let's go see Xiao Zhu tonight, you come with me."

"Who?"

“Xiao Zhu! She’s our company’s lucky star! Didn’t she fall and get injured? It’s been so long, as the company leaders, we should go and visit her to offer our condolences.”

"Oh! Why didn't you wait a few more days? She should be better by then!"

"You... you're so infuriating the moment you open your mouth. What's gotten into you? You've been busy lately, haven't you? Tonight, of course! Don't forget."

Did you notify him in advance? Do you know where he lives?

"I...I'm asking now."

Shi Yuan picked up his phone and called Shen Yanqiu, who answered quickly.

"Tingyue, are you feeling better? We're planning to visit you today. Could you send me your address?"

Shen Yanqiu said something on the other end, and Shi Yuan asked a few words of concern before hurriedly hanging up the phone.

"What's wrong? Are you still going?" Zhu Tingyue asked him.

"They're so considerate! They didn't want to take up our rest time and even comforted me, saying I'd be able to come back to work soon. Employees like that are rare!"

Shi Yuan's words were full of praise, as if he were proud of it.

Zhu Tingyue knew very well that Shen Yanqiu's injuries were not serious at all. If it weren't for the cast, he would have recovered long ago!

He's still staying at home now, probably because his mother told him not to go out and to rest and recover.

After he finished speaking, he did not receive any recognition. Shi Yuan looked at Zhu Tingyue as if she were a stinky rock, cold and hard.

He waved to her and said, "Go, go, go! Get to work!"

She wouldn't wait even when I asked her to; her work hours were almost up, and I still had to urge her to finish!

Back in her office, she first called Wang Shuo.

Wang Shuo took a long time to come over after answering the phone. Looking at Shen Yingchu's office across the street, he felt very uneasy, and the reason he had just thought of became hesitant and stammering.

Zhu Tingyue hated people who were late, especially since he did it on purpose.

"Tell me, how did it go?"

Zhu Tingyue's cold words echoed in his ears, but Wang Shuo looked across the open doorway. He wondered if President Shen was there, and how he should answer this person who seemed to have some connection with President Shen.

"Huh? You're mute?"

After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply, Zhu Tingyue grew impatient with him. This was the person in charge? He was more like a parasite on the company!

"For now... there's been no progress."

Zhu Tingyue wasn't surprised by the answer. She smiled slightly, her eyes turning cold: "Oh, so your work ability isn't very good. It seems I can consider finding someone else!"

Hearing her say that, Wang Shuo straightened his back, as if he had suddenly gained confidence, and said to her, "You think about it first, I'm going to work."

Hey, how arrogant!

Zhu Tingyue watched his departing figure, her anger rising and falling. Was he really so disregarding her because she had no power and couldn't do anything to him? Since you're so ruthless, then don't blame me for being ruthless too!

Zhu Tingyue went to the project site to find Zheng Xian. If he shared the same attitude as Wang Shuo, the two of them could pack their things and leave together.

Upon seeing her arrive, the project team was on high alert. No one knew what Zheng Xian had told them, but everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, staring intently at their computer screens, completely ignoring her presence.

Zhu Tingyue only cared about the result; how they viewed her didn't matter. She went straight to Zheng Xian.

Before she even arrived, Zheng Xian had already come over after hearing the news. Zhu Tingyue was quite satisfied with his attitude.

"How's it going?"

“We’ve contacted the construction company, and after discussions, they agreed to speed up the construction process, but… there’s a small problem.” He looked at Zhu Tingyue’s expression, a hint of hesitation in his voice. “Increased labor intensity will also lead to increased costs, and we…”

Ultimately, it all comes down to money.

"It's good that there's progress. Keep following up. As for the funding, you don't need to worry."

Although Zhu Tingyue said this to him, she was not sure. Wang Shuo was a tough nut to crack and he was going against her. It seemed that this would not be easy to resolve, and she would have to think of a solution herself.

Funds, funds, what should we do?

She quickly racked her brains. Solving things couldn't be done with just words. She had assigned these two people different tasks today because she wasn't yet familiar with the company structure. How could she learn about it? She'd have to look at the data!

The end of the paper is so shallow that I know that this matter must be carried out.

Looking through the materials and understanding the relevant information before dealing with the problem will definitely prevent you from being completely clueless. Yes, go check the materials!
