Chapter 9.1: First Time Zheng Shuyi Saw Him Laugh

In Zheng Shuyi's mind, writing and organizing this audio could be easily done by any person with only an undergraduate education.

So she didn't pay much attention to Qin Shiyue. The deadline for Shi Yan's interview draft was hanging over her head, and she still had to add a lot more details.

Since Zheng Shuyi started her career, she had never spent so much time on one single draft.

It wasn't because she wasn't working hard enough in the past. Her analytical, comprehension, and organization skills were all fully capable of handling the tasks she received, and most of the time she even had extra time to relax.

But this time, the difficulty of the draft jumped to a whole new level.

Zheng Shuyi felt that this was very tiring for her.

Shi Yan gave a lot of information in his words, and because of this, choosing which words of his to use became the biggest difficulty.

It seemed that if she let any words out, the following content would lack logic and wouldn't make sense.

Zheng Shuyi must carefully consider and choose what to use from every sentence.

To concentrate better, Zheng Shuyi took out the noise-canceling earbuds that she hadn't used for a long time and adjusted the frequency to the highest. The world around her instantly quieted down; even the sound of air movement seemed to have stopped.

Many people were resting during their lunch break, and the lights in the office area were also dimmed.

Qin Shiyue listened to the audio for half an hour and only managed to write three lines on her document. For most of the technical terms, she could somewhat guess what they were at the beginning, but soon, she couldn't understand anything at all.

She looked around, then moved her chair over. She was prepared to shamelessly ask her questions.

She leaned closer to Zheng Shuyi and whispered, "Sister Shuyi?"

No reply.

Qin Shiyue took a breath and raised her voice a bit, "Sister Zheng Shuyi?"

Zheng Shuyi didn't even blink.

It could be said that since childhood, Qin Shiyue has never received such a cold response before.

Qin Shiyue sat back down, stuffed her earbuds back into her bag, and prepared to leave.

But just when she was about to click the off button, she stopped, closed her eyes, and took two deep breaths.

There's nothing else I can do.

Zheng Shuyi was completely buried in her thoughts. When she raised her head again, it was already a quarter past six.

The working hours here only lasted until six o'clock, but rarely any social media platform workers can get off work on time these days.

After all, she was already working overtime. The atmosphere around wasn't as serious as before, some were even chattering to each other.

Zheng Shuyi faintly heard that someone was talking about the interns, so she subconsciously turned her head to look at the desk beside her.

It was empty.

The chair had been pushed in already, the computer was closed, and even the desk has been cleaned up neatly.

She seemed to be a girl who really liked to be clean and organized.

But she didn't seem to like to work as much : )

Zheng Shuyi was a little speechless.

The first day of the internship was like this, god knows what it will be like in the future.

She rubbed her eyebrows, turned around, and leaned against Kong Nan's shoulder. She said weakly, "Stop writing, let's chat for a bit."

"Chat about what?"

Just as Zheng Shuyi was about to speak, someone behind her suddenly clapped her hands.

Everyone looked towards where the sound came from.

Xu Yuling stood there, and a young lady was behind her.

"Let me introduce her to everyone, this is Cheng Baier, a new intern, please welcome her!"

She brought the newcomer to introduce her, it was obvious that the two of them knew each other quite well already. Everyone else was also very nice and greeted Cheng Beier one after another.

In this harmonious atmosphere, the empty seat that belonged to Qin Shiyue seemed a bit unnatural.

How could a person like Xu Yuling miss such a detail? She glanced over and asked Zheng Shuyi with a smile, "Where's your intern? Why don't you introduce her to everyone too?"

The conflict between the two was never publicly announced, so everyone thought they were still good colleagues with each other.

Zheng Shuyi smiled, "She left already."

"Wow, so early" Xu Yuling turned her head and waved to Cheng Beier, "you can continue working."

Zheng Shuyi: ""

After she left, everyone got back to work mode, but it was difficult for Zheng Shuyi to fully concentrate anymore.

Every time she saw Qin Shiyue's empty seat, she would think of Xu Yuling's arrogance just now.

When she left for the bathroom, she happened to meet an HR and asked about Cheng Beier.

Graduated from the top media college in China, best grades in her profession, won national awards for three years in a roll, a double degree in finance, published an article as a junior, and have won national awards.

Zheng Shuyi felt a bit unfair.

After getting back to her desk, she heard some people discussing again.

"Xu Yuling's intern has such a special background. Her whole family is familiar with finance, and she has incredible connections as well. I think her aunt is an executive of Mingyu."

"Yeah, I was about to say. She was never interested in finding work for herself, why did she volunteer to take this intern? She sure picked up a great deal."

"On top of that, not only is her grades insane, she is also such a hard worker. Working overtime on the first day, I even feel kind of embarrassed myself."

Zheng Shuyi quietly placed on her earbuds again.

As long as I don't compare with others, I wouldn't feel bad.

At the same time, Shi Family's house.

Qin Shiyue has always been insensitive to the change of seasons. Every year, she only realizes that winter has arrived when the loquat1]A subtropical evergreen fruit tree that blooms in the fall and early winter and is harvested during the spring tree in the yard started to bloom. 

In this season, when the days were short and nights were long, the sky had already gotten dark. Clusters of white loquat flowers were crowded on the branches, cute and beautiful.

Scents of the flowers drifted into the house and dissolved into the smell of dinner.

In the dining room, the phone on the table vibrated several times, but Qin Shiyue didn't bother to check it.

At this moment, Song Lelan was sitting towards her left, and Qin Xiaoming was sitting towards her right.

Technically, the family of three should be happily eating together, but Shi Yan also sat in front of Qin Shiyue, making it impossible for Qin Shiyue to act normally.

The long table is more than a meter wide, and there was a row of candles standing in between the dinner plates, letting off a shadowy glow.

"How's your first day of work?"

Song Lelan talked to her daughter while checking her phone.

Qin Shiyue didn't answer right away. She took a peek at Shi Yan, and after making sure that he was paying attention to his phone instead of her, she replied quietly, "It's not very good. The job is so boring. The only thing she told me to do was type up a recording. I'm a reporter, not a typewriter"

"Oh," Song Lelan gave herself a mouthful of grapes, and after chewing twice, she continued to ask, "Are you getting along with your colleagues?"

Qin Shiyue pursed her lips and didn't reply.

Song Lelan was a well-known pop singer, but she kept her daily life very private from others.

Even some people who knew her quite well didn't know that she was married and had children.

Because of that, she also spent very little time with her daughter.

At the moment, Song Lelan wasn't particularly interested in this topic. Then, she received a call from her agent and left the table.

After she left, Qin Xiaoming placed down his phone and asked, "Who do you work for?"

Qin Shiyue's tone changed, "I don't remember, think it's Zheng something."

The candlelight flickered and Shi Yan looked up slightly.

"Zheng Shuyi?" Qin Xiaoming asked.

Qin Shiyue raised her eyebrows, "Dad, do you know her?"

"Talked to her a few times. She's okay, and you have a lot to learn from her."

Qin Shiyue threw away the towel after wiping her hands and asked coldly, "Yeah I want to learn, but I'm not sure if she's willing to teach."

"Oh?" Qin Xiaoming's expression finally grew serious. He leaned back to the chair and made a posture of ready to listen carefully.

Even Shi Yan raised his eyebrows and started to pay attention to her.
