Upon hearing that she wanted to come back, Fu Yunzhe almost nodded out of reflex. But when he remembered the maid’s words last night, he became difficult again. “Weren’t you trying to stay away from me last night?”

Bai Yu explained, “Butler Zhuang arranged that room for me. I didn’t get to choose.”

Fu Yunzhe said, “Don’t listen to him from now on. Listen to me.”

At Civic Media Company.

At noon, someone knocked on Bai Yu’s desk. “Xiao Yu, Director Bai wants to see you in her office.”

Bai Yu replied, “Okay.” Then, she got up and went to Bai Wanwan’s office.

Bai Wanwan’s office was separated from the others. It was adjacent to the riverside and had stylish decor. It also proved how much Shen Qiran doted on her.

“Director Bai, did you need me for something?” Bai Yu always clearly distinguished between calling Bai Wanwan ‘Director’ during office hours, and ‘Sister’ after work.

Bai Wanwan was sitting in her chair. “Xiao Yu, the company had our department take charge of planning a couple’s engagement ceremony. Come with me to meet the clients and take note of their requirements.”

Bai Yu subconsciously said, “Won’t Manager Li be joining us?”

Bai Wanwan looked at her strangely. “Why should Li Ping join us? Xiao Yu, don’t tell me that you plan on being a department assistant forever.”

Bai Yu figured that, since Civic Media tended to accept only major projects, it wouldn’t be appropriate for her to bypass Li Ping as she was only an assistant.

However, Bai Wanwan seemed to have high hopes for her. “Xiao Yu, do well and don’t let me down.

Bai Yu could only agree to it. “Alright, I’ll go and prepare now.”

Bai Wanwan nodded. Then, she asked casually, “By the way, have you recovered from your cold?”

Bai Yu replied, “I have.”

Bai Wanwan toyed with a lock of her curly hair and smiled sweetly. “That’s good. Yesterday, Qiran was worried that you won’t be able to work today. Looks like the cold medicine he gave you was very effective.”

Bai Yu inadvertently tensed up. Because the last time Bai Wanwan smiled at her, her father had made her marry Fu Yunzhe shortly after that.

After returning to her post, Bai Yu went to see Li Ping immediately. “Manager Li, Director Bai is asking me to meet a client with her, so I’m here to request for half a day’s leave.”

Li Ping gave a half-hearted smile upon hearing that. “A big sister doesn’t forget to bring her little sister along after being successful, huh? Looks like I’ll have to rely on you in the future.”

Bai Yu tried to appease her by saying, “Manager Li, please don’t say that. I still have a lot to learn from you.”

Li Ping clicked her tongue and said, “Actually, I do notice all your hard work, but do you know why you still can’t become a full-time employee even after working for two years?”

Bai Yu shook her head.

Li Ping said, “It’s all because of your sister. One time, when I was delivering documents to President Shen, I overheard President Shen saying that he wanted to make you a full-time employee, but your sister said that you’re still young, so you should train for another two years. President Shen naturally agreed to it.”

Bai Wanwan’s voice suddenly rang in Bai Yu’s ears. “Xiao Yu, we’ll be having lunch with the client soon. Why are you daydreaming?”

Bai Yu regained her senses and said with narrowed eyes, “It’s nothing.”

Bai Wanwan said no more and knocked on the door of the private room in front of them. When the door opened, a man with glasses said, “Please come in.”

Bai Yu was just about to greet him when Bai Wanwan unexpectedly went passed him and entered the room. “President Fu, hello!”

Bai Yu looked inside to see Fu Xiangchen and Lan Qingyu sitting there.

After shaking hands with Bai Wanwan, Fu Xiangchen looked at Bai Yu. “Sister-in-law, what a coincidence. It’s such a surprise that you’re our commissioned party!”

Bai Wanwan’s smile froze upon hearing him call Bai Yu ‘Sister-in-law’. This wasn’t right. Didn’t the rumors say that the two brothers didn’t get along? So why was Fu Xiangchen smiling so warmly at Bai Yu and even moved her chair for her?

When Bai Yu and Bai Wanwan left the private room, their moods starkly changed. One looked delighted because she had eaten her fill, while the other was unsatisfied for not having her goal achieved.

Bai Wanwan forced a smile and asked, “Xiao Yu, I didn’t expect you to be so familiar with President Fu. Why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Bai Yu glanced at her. “If I had told you, would you not have brought me here?”

Bai Wanwan suppressed her guilty conscience to reply, “Of course not. It’s good for our company that President Fu appreciates you.”

Bai Yu went along with her and said, “Yeah, I didn’t expect Second Young Master Fu to let me take charge of his entire engagement ceremony..”
