Chapter 72: Chapter 72 Zhiyi is Really Amazing Chapter 72 -72 Zhiyi is Really Amazing Gong Yan’s secretary felt as if he had been struck in the back of the leg, losing his balance and accidentally spilling all the tea on Gong Yan and into the lunchbox.

Gong Yan furrowed his brow.

The secretary quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, young master, it wasn’t intentional.”

At that moment, Gong Chen stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.

“I need you to go on a business trip to Hai City. The documents are here, remember to read them.”

Gong Yan glanced at the documents on the desk, “Okay.”

“I’m leaving.”

Gong Chen left without turning back.

In the office, Gong Yan pulled the handkerchief from the secretary’s hand, his expression still gentle.

“Go and prepare for the business trip.”

“Yes.”

The secretary stood up and left the office.

Gong Yan stared at the lunchbox on the desk, his eyes deepening.

Inside the elevator.

Chen Jin fiddled with a small pebble in his hand.

“Third Young Master, did you just call me to follow you...”

“Hmm?”

“Never mind.”

...

Thanks to Gong Yan, Lin Zhiyi wasn’t late. She had just clocked in and hadn’t had the chance to feel pleased when she heard a disappointing voice.

“Zhiyi.”

Shen Yan approached with a smile, dressed in a receptionist’s uniform.

“Are you the new receptionist?”

Lin Zhiyi truly admired Shen Yan a bit for wasting her internship opportunity just to be a lapdog for Song Wanqiu.

Such unwavering loyalty.

Shen Yan bashfully lowered her head, looking timid and aggrieved.

“Zhiyi, do you look down on me for being a receptionist? I think it’s an honor to work at President Xue’s prestigious studio.”

Seeing Shen Yan’s pitiable act, Lin Zhiyi knew that some important person must have approached from behind her.

Her eyes subtly shifted as she grabbed Shen Yan’s hand, “What are you talking about? We’re close friends, how could I look down on you? If anything, saying that makes it seem like you’re the one who doesn’t respect yourself.”

“Actually, I’ll tell you secretly, my first choice for the internship was President Xue’s studio. Even if I wasn’t picked, I’d be willing to work as a cleaner.”

Just as she finished speaking, the sound of high heels approached from behind.

“Having you as a cleaner would indeed show my lack of judgment.”

It was Xue Man.

Lin Zhiyi ignored the flash of jealousy in Shen Yan’s eyes and turned around in feigned surprise.

“President Xue, I’m sorry for the embarrassment.”

“Are you feeling alright now?” Xue Man asked with concern.

“I’m fine now. You must be tired from rushing back from your business trip yesterday, right?”

“It’s a routine for me. Actually, I have matters to discuss with you all at a meeting today, let’s head up together.”

As she spoke, Xue Man glanced at Shen Yan.

Shen Yan looked towards Xue Man with a touch of schadenfreude, but her face still maintained its usual timid demeanor.

“President Xue, I...”

“Shen Yan, right? As a receptionist, you should appear lively. Always looking down won’t make others respect you. Also, bring some coffee to the meeting room later,” Xue Man said with a frown.

“Yes.”

Shen Yan’s face turned ashen. Neither lowering nor raising her head felt right; she could only stiffly force a smile.

Xue Man led Lin Zhiyi upstairs.

Shen Yan twisted her fingers, staring hard at Lin Zhiyi’s departing figure.

Just you wait.

...

During the meeting.

freёwebnovel.com Song Wanqiu was still the center of attention.

Although yesterday’s incident with the lawyer’s letter had caused some doubts, a personalized coffee each morning, explaining that she was just playing drunk with Lin Zhiyi, appeased the matter.

Lin Zhiyi didn’t respond, effectively conceding to the explanation.

The reason was simple; she didn’t want Gong Chen to use Liu He to threaten her.

Her colleagues also believed it, especially since Song Wanqiu mentioned the coffee was arranged by Gong Chen, further solidifying her unique status in the studio.

Lin Zhiyi did not care about these things. Having chosen a different path in life, she knew the risks involved, but at least she had a chance.

Xue Man flipped open a file, “President Yu from Cha Hua Manor is still not satisfied with our brand design. She will be a VIP at several upcoming banquets. If we can’t please her before then, we might as well give this opportunity to another brand.”

“President Yu of Cha Hua Manor?” Song Wanqiu smiled slightly, “I know him, maybe I can give it a try.”

Xue Man thought for a moment and cautiously said, “In that case, you three new interns will each produce a design draft, and then come meet President Yu with me.”

“Okay,” Lin Zhiyi and Chen Huan said in unison.

Only Song Wanqiu confidently said, “President Xue, there’s no need for you to worry about us like this. I’ll just make an appointment with President Yu and take Zhiyi and Chen Huan with me.”

Xue Man was indeed very busy, so she nodded in agreement.

The meeting ended.

Many people enviously gathered around Song Wanqiu.

“Wanqiu, you really are worthy of being Third Young Master’s woman. You know everyone.”

“Not really.”

Song Wanqiu looked up at Lin Zhiyi with a smile in her eyes.

Lin Zhiyi ignored her and walked out with some belongings, Chen Huan following her.

Chen Huan muttered, “Zhiyi, if you had such strong connections, you could definitely design even better than her.”

“Chen Huan, stop it,”

Lin Zhiyi interrupted, always feeling that Chen Huan sometimes spoke oddly.

Back at her desk, Lin Zhiyi was brainstorming designs when a stack of documents was placed on her table.

“Lin Zhiyi, go make some copies and then distribute them.”

“Okay.”

Lin Zhiyi’s train of thought was interrupted, and she reluctantly got up.

Chen Huan also stood up, holding quite a few documents in her hands.

The two exchanged glances, preparing to go to the copier.

But as Lin Zhiyi turned, a male colleague blocked her way.

“Zhiyi, give me your documents, I’m going to make copies too.”

Lin Zhiyi glanced at the documents in his hand and smiled faintly, “No need, everyone is quite busy today, I don’t want to delay your work.”

“Don’t be polite.”

The male colleague reached out to grab Lin Zhiyi’s documents but she dodged.

She politely said thank you and hurriedly followed Chen Huan to make copies.

The male colleague didn’t come after all.

Chen Huan looked around and whispered, “He’s interested in you, deliberately trying to help you. I heard that President Xue thinks highly of him, but I just saw him being attentive to Miss Song, and now to you...”

Lin Zhiyi, having arranged her documents, pressed the copy button and, using the noise of the copier, interrupted, “Chen Huan, don’t keep guessing wildly. Even if there are thoughts, you shouldn’t voice them.”

Chen Huan, clutching the documents, pursed her lips, “Sorry.”

“It’s okay, let’s get back to work.”

Lin Zhiyi picked up her documents and walked out.

Chen Huan stood still, her eyes fixed on the operating machine, lost in thought.

...

A day’s work ended.

Lin Zhiyi rubbed her throbbing head, still feeling a bit hungover.

She got up and prepared to head back to school.

Just as she left the studio, Shen Yan was surprisingly waiting for her.

Several male colleagues stood next to Shen Yan, their expressions varying as they saw her approaching.

“Zhiyi, come here,” Shen Yan pulled her over to the male colleagues, praising, “Our Zhiyi is very popular with the opposite sex at school, even seniors and juniors often ask her out.”

It was true.

But Lin Zhiyi always politely refused.

However, Shen Yan only mentioned the first half, making it sound as if she was very easygoing.

The male colleagues exchanged glances, one of them opening the car door and saying, “Zhiyi, get in the car, I’ll treat you to dinner and then take you back.”

“No need, I have something else to do first,” Lin Zhiyi quickly found an excuse to leave.

However, Shen Yan held on to her, even pushing her towards the male colleague’s car.

“Zhiyi, we’re all colleagues, don’t be so standoffish, just like before. If someone invited me, I’d be more than happy.”

Lin Zhiyi, cornered by Shen Yan and the male colleagues at the car door, felt as if they wouldn’t let her go unless she got into the car.

She scoffed internally, realizing Shen Yan was up to her old tricks again.

It seemed the previous lessons were not enough.

“Alright. I’ll get in.”

Lin Zhiyi nodded in agreement and bent down to get into the car.

At that moment, a luxury car stopped in front.

The man in the car watched expressionlessly as Lin Zhiyi got into another man’s car.

She’s been in the studio for just two days and has already become so close with all the male colleagues that they’re going out together now.”
