Shen Chu'an's lower back still hurt, so she had no time to deal with Chen Wenwen's pettiness.
Seeing her not speaking, Chen Wenwen thought she was feeling guilty and couldn't help but raise her voice, "Are you listening to me? If you don't want to work, then leave, parading around like you're above it all every day—who do you think you're impressing!"
Shen Chu'an glanced at her with a very indifferent look.
Chen Wenwen was startled, that look in her eyes seemed just like Fu Huaichen's, she must be bluffing, "You stare at me? Don't think you can look down on everyone just because you hooked up with Secretary-General Qi..."
Chen Wenwen wanted to say more, but Shen Chu'an pushed her aside and went to find Zhang Zhen.
Not willing to let it go, Chen Wenwen clenched her teeth, and began spreading malicious rumors among her colleagues, "Just a translator and a secretary, always thinking of climbing up the tree!"
"Exactly, just look at her foxy ways, she's not here to work in earnest."
"You say she often skips work, could it be she's out drumming up business?"
"I think she shouldn't be a translator; she ought to be a social butterfly!"
...
Shen Chu'an didn't hear these words, and even if she did, she wouldn't care.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
"Come in."
Shen Chu'an entered the office of Director Zhang Zhen, "May I ask what you need?"
Zhang Zhen smiled, "Everyone can see your ability, don't mind those rumors, the PR will handle it."
Shen Chu'an nodded.
Zhang Zhen gave her a document, "This is the speech, you will accompany Mr. Fu to the exchange meeting tomorrow night. Our jewelry company has invited Mr. Will from M Country, you will do the speech and the interpretation work."
Shen Chu'an was shocked upon hearing this, Mr. Will was a famous jewelry designer, and if she could complete the translation accurately, her commission from a successful deal wouldn't be small.
"Sister Zhen, about the bonus..."
Zhang Zhen gestured a number, and Shen Chu'an felt a surge of excitement.
She had always been doing written translation at the company, this was her first time to do interpretation work, and the other party was a well-known jewelry master.
Filled with anticipation, Zhang Zhen also had a high opinion of her; there were many people who could do interpretation in their department, but there were very few beauties like Shen Chu'an.
With a light step, Shen Chu'an returned to her workstation to read and memorize the speech carefully, ignoring Chen Wenwen's snide remarks the whole time.
Soon it was time to leave work, and just as Shen Chu'an left the company, she ran into Jiang Yuanrui.
Thinking it was bad luck, she prepared to pretend she hadn't seen him, but he grabbed her by the wrist. Shen Chu'an tried to pull away but couldn't manage to break free straight away.
"What is it?" Shen Chu'an gave him not the slightest bit of a pleasant face.
Jiang Yuanrui was somewhat incredulous, "Shen Chu'an, what is this attitude towards me?"
"Call me Auntie!" Shen Chu'an corrected.
Without mentioning this term it'd been fine, but once it was brought up, Jiang Yuanrui's face changed drastically, "Shen Chu'an! How disgusting can you be, seducing Tangtang's uncle, and you want me to call you Auntie?"
Shen Chu'an, upon hearing this, instantly slapped Jiang Yuanrui across the face with her other hand.
Jiang Yuanrui, in pain, let go of her hand.
"What are you doing at Fu Family?" Shen Chu'an asked coldly.
Jiang Yuanrui chuckled lightly, "I just want to know if your marriage to him is to be closer to me."
At these words, Shen Chu'an was rarely taken aback for a second, seemingly incredulous at his narcissistic remark, "Did your butt grow a mouth? Do you think you compare to Fu Huaichen?"
"Aren't all you women the same? Sharp tongues but soft hearts. Shen Chu'an, Shen Chu'an, you really are beautiful, it's a pity you don't have a background, otherwise, you wouldn't be unfit to be my mistress," Jiang Yuanrui's nose was almost in the air.
The thing Shen Chu'an regretted the most was that she hadn't seen through this person's true nature earlier. Not bothering to argue any further, she simply walked away.
Little did they know, their joint appearance had already been snapped by a camera.
Her good mood for the day was completely ruined by that scumbag. Shen Chu'an made a call to Fu Huaichen, "President Fu, can I hitch a ride in your car~"
Even through the phone, the woman's voice was incredibly sweet. Fu Huaichen glanced at the work he hadn't finished yet, "Sure."
Qi Yan was instantly stuffed with a pile of documents, "Huaichen, you're really inhumane."
"I'll transfer a hundred thousand to you for overtime pay."
"Understood!"
Fu Huaichen felt that Shen Chu'an really loved him, so it wasn't such a big deal to be a little considerate towards her.
Seeing Fu Huaichen, Shen Chu'an's mood improved considerably because, after all, President Fu was really too handsome. Marrying such a top-tier handsome man was definitely not a loss for her, so why should she destroy her mood over some pretty boy?
Having figured everything out, Shen Chu'an blissfully fell asleep in the car, while Fu Huaichen, who was focused on driving, let a subtle smile curve his lips.
Considering Shen Chu'an had performed well recently, Fu Huaichen wasn't so resistant to their contractual marriage anymore.
Although they weren't too familiar with each other, their bodies were in harmony, and their life together was quite congenial.
"Shen Chu'an, don't disgrace the Fu Family at the exchange meeting."
Shen Chu'an was used to Fu Huaichen's sharp tongue and didn't mind at all, "President Fu, after working as a translator by your side for so long, don't you know my capabilities?"
Fu Huaichen laughed with an ambiguous meaning, "Let me test your skills."
With that, he immediately grabbed Shen Chu'an and gave her a deep kiss.
A night of springtime passions.
The next day, Shen Chu'an was still sound asleep and was awakened not by Fu Huaichen, but by several women she had never seen before.
"Who are you?"
"Madam, we are stylists here to do your makeup. The President specifically instructed us to come," they said.
Shen Chu'an was now fully awake, "I'm just a translator, isn't this a bit much?"
"That's not acceptable, as I said, you can't disgrace the Fu Family," Fu Huaichen, who she didn't know had come in, said indifferently.
Shen Chu'an resigned herself to the situation, "I'll listen to you, President Fu."
No sooner had she nodded than she was taken to the dressing room by the makeup artists. The room was filled with clothing and accessories, all with price tags intact. Shen Chu'an was astounded by the many zeros.
Although she was already the President's wife, she rarely spent Fu Huaichen's money, never expecting an ordinary T-shirt to cost six zeros, she couldn't help feeling inexperienced.
"All the clothes in this dressing room are yours," Fu Huaichen said, noting Shen Chu'an's naivety with a slight frown.
Shen Chu'an didn't mind, "That's really not necessary, I have my own clothes."
Fu Huaichen fell silent; she really only loved the person he was. Unfortunately, he couldn't reciprocate her feelings, only able to provide her with comfortable living conditions.
Shen Chu'an didn't know his thoughts. The stylists chose a black strapless tulle evening gown for her to try on.
As soon as she stepped out of the dressing room, Fu Huaichen's gaze brightened for a moment.
Always beautiful and self-aware, Shen Chu'an confidently approached Fu Huaichen with a bright and bold smile, "How do I look, President Fu?"
