Chapter 551: Chapter 541: Quite Enthusiastic, Overfed on Dog Food

Tong Yue led Lu Zhengzheng and Fang Yao to the headquarters of Shanyue Zhiheng, where they were warmly greeted by the brand director and others who had been waiting at the entrance.

"Teacher Jiang just called our President Shen to explain that she’ll be a bit late. The three of you can rest in this room for now and let my assistant know if you need anything."

Tong Yue was about to explain why her artist wasn’t there, but swallowed it back.

"Director Hua, please go ahead and take care of your work."

As soon as Director Hua left, her assistant came in with tea and snacks.

Fang Yao, handed a handful of dried fruits by Lu Zhengzheng, couldn’t help but ask her question after eating one, "Sister Tong, Sister Zhengzheng, why are the people from Shanyue Zhiheng so enthusiastic towards us?"

Before she was selected as Sister Xixi’s assistant, she had also worked briefly as a temporary assistant.

She used to be temporarily recruited when an artist needed an assistant.

Once, she followed an artist to a brand’s venue for a promotional shoot. The brand’s attitude was enthusiastic, but they didn’t prepare a separate reception room and snacks for them.

It was just a small beauty brand that hadn’t even made it out of the country, while Shanyue Zhiheng was already quite well-known internationally.

She expected the brand to have a cool attitude, yet the treatment they received was more than warm—it was downright friendly!

Honestly, she didn’t know how to react to such friendliness earlier.

It wasn’t until the brand’s people left that she felt more at ease.

Faced with Fang Yao’s inquiry, Tong Yue and Lu Zhengzheng exchanged a glance and both broke into smiles.

Lu Zhengzheng reached out to pat Fang Yao on the shoulder with an experienced tone, "Relax, relax, no need to be nervous this time. Let me put it this way: if Sister Xixi had come with us, it wouldn’t just be the brand director of Shanyue Zhiheng welcoming us, but President Shen himself."

Fang Yao’s eyes widened, "That much face?"

Tong Yue shook her head with a smile, "It’s not about face; it’s because your Sister Xixi has a very good personal relationship with President Shen of Shanyue Zhiheng. Plus, there’s another layer of relationship between them."

"Another layer of relationship?"

"You’ll find out later."

A low-profile black car drove directly into the parking lot of Shanyue Zhiheng.

Hu Zi explained to Jiang Lingxi, sitting in the back seat, "Sir’s car has a pass for Shanyue Zhiheng and a dedicated parking spot here. Just call me when you’re done, and we’ll leave directly from the parking lot."

"Alright, thank you, Hu Zi."

"You’re welcome, Sister Xixi."

When the car came to a stop, Jiang Lingxi picked up her phone and sent a message to Tong Yue and Shen Chuyue that she’d arrived.

The moment the message was sent successfully, Shen Chuyue’s voice call came through.

"Cousin-in-law, where are you?"

"In your parking lot, just about to get off. Which floor should I go to?"

"Did you enter the parking lot directly? Did my cousin drop you off?"

"No, I had Hu Zi drive me."

"Oh, oh, don’t move, cousin-in-law. My cousin’s parking space is right next to my car. I’ll come down to meet you. Your manager and assistant are already here, waiting in the reception room."

Jiang Lingxi was about to open the car door, but stopped after hearing this.

"Alright, I’ll wait for you."

The secretaries at the general manager’s office were busy with their work when they heard the sound of high heels clicking towards them quickly and got ready to present their best working state for President Shen.

However, the footsteps continued past without stopping, quickly leaving the area.

As the footsteps faded away, the secretaries exchanged glances.

"What’s President Shen rushing off for?"

"Is there an important guest visiting today?"

"I haven’t heard anything. But our brand ambassador Jiang Lingxi is supposed to come for a promotional shoot today."

"But that’s no reason for President Shen to be in such a hurry. Could it be that he’s a fan of Jiang Lingxi?"

"He did seem a bit like a star-struck fan girl just now!"

Not only the secretaries but soon many employees of Shanyue Zhiheng witnessed President Shen rushing past various departments, heading straight for the elevator without stopping.

The elevator took him directly to the parking lot. From afar, Shen Chuyue saw the low-profile black car parked next to her red sports car and hurried over.

Jiang Lingxi saw Shen Chuyue approaching from the rearview mirror, grabbed her phone, and opened the car door to get out.

Just after closing the car door, someone rushed over and hugged her tightly.

"It’s so good to see you again, cousin-in-law!"

Jiang Lingxi was caught off guard for a couple of seconds; had it been anyone else, her foot would have kicked out before her brain could react.

She raised her hand to return the hug, "It’s been a bit too long."

"Not late, not late. A good meal is worth the wait. It smells so good and feels so warm," Shen Chuyue snuggled happily before unwillingly letting go, "It’s a bit cold in the parking lot, cousin-in-law, let’s go up."

The rest of the way was mostly filled with Shen Chuyue’s chatter.

"Cousin-in-law, I watched your stream last night. When my cousin suddenly spoke, it was hilarious. You didn’t hit him after the broadcast, did you?"

"No, I couldn’t bear to."

After metaphorically consuming a bowl of ’dog food,’ Shen Chuyue paused for a moment before speaking again, "I even participated in the giveaway, prayed before, but still didn’t win. Cousin-in-law, what gift are you preparing for the lucky audience? Can you give me a tiny hint?"

"A painting."

"An ink painting?"

Jiang Lingxi nodded in response to Shen Chuyue’s starry-eyed gaze, "I’ll paint, and your cousin will handle the framing."

Shen Chuyue: "... I’m so envious of those lucky viewers. No, I’m jealous!"

The desire was clear on her face!

Jiang Lingxi pressed the elevator button, "I’ll paint one for you too, as an apology for the delay all these days. But no customizations, though."

If she weren’t wearing high heels today, Shen Chuyue felt she could jump up right now, "It’s all fine, I’ll like whatever you paint. Cousin-in-law, you have no idea how stingy my cousin is. When I borrowed the "Bibo Wanxiang" painting, he took it back right after three days without letting me take another look."

Hearing Shen Chuyue’s description of Shen Yunqing, Jiang Lingxi remembered the items she saw in the main courtyard of Xiyuan last night. Though a thousand years had passed, everything was preserved perfectly.

She recalled someone saying there were very few items related to Emperor Yuan Zhao in history. Now she understood who the culprit was.

The collection in Xiyuan’s main courtyard alone could open a ’Yuan Zhao Emperor-related exhibition hall.’

"He does cherish my things."

Shen Chuyue: "... I don’t think I need lunch today."

"Why?"

"I’m full from all this dog food!"
