Wen Zhi keenly caught the word "elder sister" in her words.
"Elder sister? Who are you talking about?"
Shen Ziying burst into laughter as if she had heard the funniest joke. "Your elder sister! Wen Zhi, what are you spacing out for? Your elder sister has been recruited as a new designer by LeR. Don't you know?"
"I don't know." Wen Zhi's expression turned cold, with a hint of chill in her words.
Hearing that her tone didn't seem like a joke, Shen Ziying calmed down a bit and started to talk seriously. The surrounding environment also quieted down.
"Come on, you don't know that Wen Yin has gone to LeR?"
Wen Zhi casually tore off the facial mask and said nonchalantly, "Do you think I would care about my elder sister's private life?"
Shen Ziying smiled, and Wen Zhi continued.
"Since elder sister wants to start her own business, how can we not support her?"
"Right?"
Wen Zhi's voice was calm. Only she herself knew that the woman in the mirror had a darkened face, and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
Wen Zhi emphasized the word "support". Shen Ziying almost instantly understood what she meant and replied.
"Yeah, we must support her!"
Hearing the answer she wanted, Wen Zhi hung up the phone satisfactorily.
She never thought that Wen Yin would want to develop outside the entertainment circle. How self - important!
Without her good looks, she was nothing!
Early the next morning, Wen Yin arrived at the company early. The dark circles under her eyes indicated that she hadn't slept well last night. Just as she was about to close the elevator door, a familiar figure ran over from afar.
"Wen Yin! Wait for me!"
Shen Ziying almost trotted over. Her hair was a bit messy, as if she had just gotten up and rushed here in a hurry. She had the same dark circles under her eyes as Wen Yin.
Wen Yin pressed the elevator button, signaling her to come in quickly.
"Thanks." Shen Ziying was out of breath from running. One of the two cups of coffee in her hand had spilled a bit.
"You didn't sleep well either?" Shen Ziying slowly moved closer and took a peek at her. "Your dark circles are about to fall off."
"Here, this good cup is for you as a reward for waiting for me." Shen Ziying handed over the intact cup of coffee with a satisfied smile on her face.
Wen Yin glanced at the coffee. Her gaze finally landed on Shen Ziying's face. After just a few seconds, she smiled and took the coffee.
After quietly looking at the label on the coffee cup, Wen Yin's gaze froze for a second but quickly returned to normal.
"Thanks."
Shen Ziying smiled. "You're welcome."
She lowered her head and took a sip of coffee. This elder sister that Zhi Zhi had always talked about didn't seem as stupid as Zhi Zhi had described.
But anyway, her first step was a success.
In a corner that Shen Ziying didn't notice, Wen Yin clenched the sleeve of her clothes with her right hand. The coldness in her eyes flashed by almost instantly.
After saying goodbye to Shen Ziying, Wen Yin returned to her design studio.
"Caramel latte..." Wen Yin turned the paper cup in her hand. Her gaze was heavy as it landed on the label.
After a long time, Wen Yin got up and threw the coffee into the trash can without even giving it a second look.
She revised the design draft on the tablet again and again and soon got immersed in her work.
Just as Wen Yin was about to make the final revision, someone knocked on the door.
Before she could say anything, the person outside pushed the door open. Shen Ziying poked her head in.
"Wen Yin? Do you want to go for lunch together?"
Wen Yin unconsciously tightened her grip on the stylus. Her expression changed slightly but quickly returned to normal.
"Sure." Wen Yin replied. Her expression was calm, making it hard to tell whether she was happy or angry.
Lunch ended with Shen Ziying's constant chatter. Wen Yin would answer a few words occasionally. Shen Ziying didn't feel embarrassed at all and kept coming up with new topics.
After lunch, Shen Ziying watched Wen Yin return to her design studio. Then she turned around and went into her own room.
"Who is she trying to show that cold face to all day long?" Without Wen Yin around, Shen Ziying completely let down her guard. "I stayed up all night last night and still have to act here today. I'm so tired..."
Shen Ziying slumped on the sofa and complained to herself.
"Was this morning just my illusion? Although Wen Yin seems smart, she's not really that intelligent. It seems that Zhi Zhi will succeed soon!"
Thinking of this, Shen Ziying couldn't help feeling a bit smug.
For two consecutive days, Shen Ziying would punctually call Wen Yin to go for lunch. Gradually, people were no longer surprised to see the two of them together.
"A Yin, could you help me take a look at what's wrong with this design draft of mine?"
Shen Ziying's voice came in before she even entered the room. Wen Yin quietly turned off the tablet and casually picked up a draft and placed it in front of herself.
Shen Ziying didn't even bother to knock on the door. She just walked in openly with her own draft in her hand.
Her lips were slightly pouted, seemingly dissatisfied with her own design.
"Please help me take a look. How should I revise it to make it look better?" Shen Ziying pouted and acted coquettishly. Wen Yin had a faint smile on her face and took the draft from her hand.
Although Shen Ziying said so, after handing over a draft that she had abandoned years ago, she openly sized up the drafts on Wen Yin's desk.
This little action of hers didn't escape Wen Yin's eyes. A flash of sharpness passed through her dark eyes. Wen Yin pursed her lips and softly said.
"I think it should be revised like this here."
Wen Yin not only gave her suggestions but even drew a sketch for Shen Ziying. Her gentle appearance was completely different from the sharp look just now.
The moment Shen Ziying saw the draft, her clear eyes were filled with surprise. Her drooping eyelids effectively covered the jealousy that flashed by.
This draft was a work of hers from a long time ago. She had given up on it in the end because no matter how she revised it, she always felt something was missing.
Unexpectedly, Wen Yin had easily corrected the awkward parts of the draft. Even the sketch was amazing!
Thinking of this, the smile on Shen Ziying's face became a bit forced. She quickly found an excuse and left the room.
The moment the door closed, she could no longer maintain the smile on her face.
It seemed that Wen Yin must go.
The dignity of someone who had been in the upper - class circle for a long time told her.
She, Shen Ziying, couldn't and would never allow the real daughter of the Wen family who had been away for more than a decade to step on her!

In the front hall.
A middle - aged man sat in the middle with a straight face. Even though there were some wrinkles on his face, one could still vaguely see his handsome features when he was young.
When his expression was serious, it added a bit of the domineering aura and irresistible, highly oppressive presence unique to those in high positions.
The handsome man in front of him looked about 70 - 80% similar to him. His expression was calm. His fair and slender fingertips were casually playing with a cup. In this situation, he actually looked a bit cynical.
"Shao Yinan, kneel down for me!"
