Within the Yu Group, Su Qingyu quickly proved through her abilities that Yu Sheng's judgment had been correct.
The first task she took on was a tough one.
A project in cooperation with a Shen Group-affiliated company had stalled due to various indirect obstructions from the other side.
Several experienced managers had previously been unable to handle it.
When the report reached her desk, she only skimmed it once.
Then she looked up at Yu Sheng. "President Yu, give me this project. Within a week, I'll get it back on track."
Yu Sheng nodded with satisfaction. "Alright. Tell me directly if you need any support."
Su Qingyu immediately led her newly formed small team and dove into the pile of project materials.
Her efficiency was astonishing—within three days, she had sorted out all the key issues.
She discovered that the core reason for the project's stagnation was the inefficiency and high pricing of two designated material suppliers.
And both companies had close ties to Shen Group.
Previous managers had been reluctant to replace them because of this connection.
Su Qingyu didn't hesitate at all. She conducted a thorough risk assessment and cost analysis.
With solid data in hand, she went straight to Yu Sheng.
"President Yu, this is the analysis report. I believe we must replace these two suppliers immediately."
"These are three alternative options I've screened—better cost-performance and stronger execution capability. There may be a short adjustment period, but in the long run, it's more beneficial."
Yu Sheng carefully reviewed the report—clear data, strong arguments.
She looked up. "Are you confident you can handle the complications from replacing them? Especially… dealing with Shen Group's side?"
Su Qingyu smiled slightly, showing understanding.
"In business, interests come first. Our reasons are sufficient."
"If they question it, I'll respond with data and contract terms. Everything will be handled according to rules."
"Alright." Yu Sheng made the decision. "Do it your way. If anything goes wrong, I'll take responsibility."
With full authority, Su Qingyu acted even more decisively.
She personally met with the new suppliers and finalized contracts at top speed. At the same time, she skillfully used performance and exemption clauses in the original contracts to issue termination notices to the previous suppliers.
As expected, the other side tried to exert pressure by invoking their connection to Shen Group.
Unfazed, Su Qingyu directly sent over the detailed evaluation report and a lawyer's letter.
"All decisions are based on maximizing company interests. If you have objections, we can proceed with commercial arbitration as per the contract. Or you may take it up with President Shen of Shen Group."
Her professionalism and firm attitude left the other party with no leverage.
Moreover, the underlying appropriation of benefits for personal or associated gain had always been a gray-area transaction unfit for exposure. The responsible party didn't dare escalate it to Shen Yunmian and ultimately backed down.
After replacing the suppliers, project efficiency improved significantly.
A project that had stalled for months miraculously returned to normal within a week.
And with costs controlled, projected profits even increased.
This move completely changed the views of previously skeptical senior executives. Privately, they began reassessing the weight of this "special assistant."
"President Yu really brought in someone impressive this time."
Looking at the improving data in the project reports, Yu Sheng finally felt a trace of relief after days of tension.
She openly praised Su Qingyu.
"Well done, Qingyu. You exceeded my expectations."
After work, she even invited her out to dinner.
"Consider it a celebration for your first victory."
At the restaurant, they discussed future plans and internal personnel matters.
The smooth progress at work and clear vision for the future allowed Yu Sheng to temporarily set aside her marital troubles.
A long-lost smile appeared on her face, and she even joked lightly.
"Qingyu, looks like I'll need to assign you a bodyguard soon—so you don't get poached for being too capable."
Su Qingyu smiled as well. "You're joking, President Yu. Meeting a boss like you is my good fortune."
They chatted pleasantly, the atmosphere relaxed.
This scene happened to fall into someone's eyes not far away.
Shen Yunmian, who had just finished meeting a client and was about to leave, suddenly stopped in her tracks.
From a few tables away, she saw Yu Sheng smiling—eyes slightly curved—toward the elegant, capable young woman beside her.
It was an expression she hadn't seen on Yu Sheng's face in a long time.
A sharp, unfamiliar bitterness and irritation rose in her chest.
That Su Qingyu… they've already gotten this close?
Yu Sheng smiles at her like that?
She couldn't help but wonder: was Yu Sheng rejecting her so strongly, insisting on divorce, because… she preferred this kind of gentle, considerate person?
Once that thought took root, it spread like vines, tightening around her heart.
She almost immediately wanted to walk over—but just as she took a step, she forcibly stopped herself.
On what grounds? Was she supposed to question why her wife was happily dining with someone else?
When had she, Shen Yunmian become this ridiculous?
In the end, she simply turned and left the restaurant with a dark expression.
But that inexplicable frustration lingered in her heart, refusing to fade.
But after returning to her office, Shen Yunmian was just as restless, unable to focus on the contents of the documents in front of her.
What kept flashing through her mind was the cold look in Yu Sheng's eyes when she pushed over the divorce agreement, and the bright, radiant smile she showed Su Qingyu in the restaurant. The two images intertwined, like ice and fire alternately scorching her nerves.
She thought about doing something to stop their relationship from deteriorating further.
Go directly to Yu Sheng?
At the thought of her possible indifferent reaction and resolute words, Shen Yunmian's pride shrank back first.
Her gaze fell on a document on the desk—it had just been sent over from the Yu Group.
It was a progress report on a joint project between the two companies, signed at the end by Su Qingyu.
Shen Yunmian picked up the report, forcing herself to compose her thoughts as she read it carefully.
She had to admit, the report was excellently written—detailed data, thorough analysis, and a clear line of reasoning.
But with her critical business eye, she quickly found several points that could be further discussed or questioned.
So she directly pressed the internal call button.
"Contact Assistant Su Qingyu from Yu Group. Tell her that regarding the report she submitted, there are several professional points that need to be discussed in person. Ask her to come to my office."
Her tone was calm and businesslike.
When Su Qingyu received the call from the president's office, she was with Yu Sheng.
Covering the receiver, she looked at Yu Sheng.
"President Yu, President Shen's office called. They want me to go over to discuss the project report."
Yu Sheng looked up from her documents, her brows slightly furrowed.
What was Shen Yunmian trying to do now? Avoiding her one moment, then calling for her people the next?
After a moment's thought, she nodded. "Go. Keep it strictly professional. If there's any issue, let me know immediately."
"Understood." Su Qingyu nodded and turned to return the call.
An hour later, she appeared in Shen Yunmian's office.
"President Shen, you wanted to see me." Su Qingyu's attitude was respectful.
"Please, sit." Shen Yunmian gestured to the chair opposite, her gaze sweeping over her quickly.
Beautiful, calm, professional. Indeed… exactly the type Yu Sheng might appreciate now.
Suppressing the discomfort in her chest, she spread out the report.
"Assistant Su, I've reviewed your report. Overall, it's very good, but there are a few areas I'd like to understand more deeply." She pointed out the questions she had already prepared.
Su Qingyu was clearly well-prepared. She remained composed, responding calmly.
For each question Shen Yunmian raised, she provided clear, professional answers supported by data.
The two engaged in nearly half an hour of efficient discussion on these professional points—a pure exchange of ideas on a business level.
Shen Yunmian had to admit that Su Qingyu was indeed very capable.
"Very good." As the discussion came to an end, Shen Yunmian closed the report, a trace of genuine appreciation entering her tone.
"Your professional ability is outstanding. With Yu Sheng having you to assist her, I feel much more at ease."
"You flatter me, President Shen." Su Qingyu remained neither arrogant nor humble. "I'm just doing my job."
With business concluded, the office fell into a brief silence. By all rights, the meeting should have ended.
But Shen Yunmian made no move to let Su Qingyu leave. Leaning back slightly in her chair, she casually changed the topic.
Her tone, however, was a bit stiff—far less smooth than when discussing business.
"I heard… Assistant Su also graduated from Jing University?"
Su Qingyu looked at her calmly. "Yes, President Shen."
"Then we're alumni." Shen Yunmian tried to sound more relaxed.
Su Qingyu smiled flawlessly. "President Shen was quite a prominent figure at the university—I've heard a lot about you. I just wouldn't dare to claim any connection. Speaking of which, President Yu is also from Jing University. What a coincidence."
Seeing her finally mention Yu Sheng, Shen Yunmian seemed unable to hold back any longer and asked, as if casually:
"Yu Sheng recently… what has she been busy with? How has her mood been?"
After asking, she picked up the glass of water on her desk and took a sip, as if to cover it up.
But her gaze lingered faintly on Su Qingyu's face, unwilling to miss even the slightest change in expression.
Su Qingyu immediately understood—so this was the real purpose.
Her professional smile didn't change in the slightest. Her tone remained polite and measured as she replied calmly:
"I'm only President Yu's assistant, responsible for helping with work matters."
"As for my superior's private affairs, it's not appropriate for me to pay too much attention, nor is it suitable for me to relay them to you."
Soft and effortless, she neatly deflected Shen Yunmian's probing.
Shen Yunmian's hand paused midair with the glass.
Looking at Su Qingyu's calm, unreadable face, a trace of embarrassment at having her intentions seen through quietly surfaced.
But the other party's words were flawless and entirely reasonable—she had no grounds to press further.
A subtle stalemate settled over the office.
After a moment, Shen Yunmian set down the glass, her expression returning to its usual coldness.
"Alright." Her voice revealed no emotion. "That's all."
"As it should be." Su Qingyu stood up and took her leave politely.
"President Shen, I'll head back now."
Watching her upright figure as she walked away,
Shen Yunmian leaned back in her chair, her fingers tapping unconsciously against the desk, her expression dark and unreadable.
This Su Qingyu…was harder to deal with than she had imagined, and her relationship with Yu Sheng seemed far from ordinary.
That realization made her mood even more gloomy.
—
Yu Sheng sat behind her large desk, documents piled up in front of her awaiting review.
The internal phone suddenly rang, breaking the quiet of the office.
She pressed the answer button, and her secretary's voice came through: "President Yu, Director Gu is here with urgent business. She says she has good news to report."
"Let her in." Yu Sheng set down her pen and rubbed her brow.
The office door was pushed open abruptly. Gu Wanqing practically rushed in, her face brimming with barely contained excitement. She clutched a report tightly in her hand, her voice trembling with exhilaration. "President Yu! It exploded! Our short drama exploded!"
Yu Sheng froze slightly, then straightened. "Exploded? What are the specific numbers?"
"Daily recharge has exceeded one hundred million!" Gu Wanqing excitedly spread the report in front of Yu Sheng, pointing at the astonishing number at the top, speaking so fast it was like popping beans. "Since yesterday noon, the data has been skyrocketing. User retention is insanely high, and the conversion rate far exceeded expectations! The platform even called just now to congratulate us and ask about our upcoming schedule!"
"One hundred million?" Yu Sheng repeated the number, finally unable to maintain her calm.
She abruptly stood up, grabbing the still-warm report from the printer, her gaze locked onto that dizzying string of numbers as if her blood were boiling.
Since her rebirth, this was the first project entirely led by her that had achieved such massive success!
This wasn't just about money—it was a huge affirmation of her judgment and decision-making ability, the brightest beacon lighting the path toward Yu Group's independence!
"That's amazing! Wanqing, you all did an incredible job!"
A brilliant smile bloomed on Yu Sheng's face, genuine joy shining through.
She walked around the desk and, for once, openly patted Gu Wanqing on the shoulder. "Notify the project team—this month's bonus will be doubled! No, tripled!"
"Thank you, President Yu!" Gu Wanqing grinned from ear to ear.
"Call Assistant Su in for a meeting immediately!" Yu Sheng pressed the intercom, her tone urgent and excited. "Right now!"
A few minutes later, Su Qingyu walked in briskly.
She had clearly already heard the news, a faint smile on her face. "President Yu, Director Gu, congratulations."
"Qingyu, perfect timing—look at this." Yu Sheng handed her the report, unable to hide her excitement. "We made the right bet!"
Su Qingyu took the report but didn't celebrate immediately. Instead, she quickly and carefully reviewed it.
Her gaze swept over daily active users, retention, recharge curves, episode payment points, sampled user comments… her fingers pausing occasionally on key data as calculations and analysis raced through her mind.
Gu Wanqing excitedly added details from the side, while Yu Sheng watched Su Qingyu expectantly.
After a moment, Su Qingyu looked up. "President Yu, the data is excellent. This shows the short drama has precisely hit the pain point of fragmented entertainment demand. Its advantages are clear—extremely short production cycles, rapid capital return, significantly lower investment costs compared to traditional film and television, yet higher profit margins."
She placed the report on the table, her tone growing more decisive. "I believe this isn't just a single project's success—it proves a viable new track. We should immediately increase resource allocation to short dramas, establish a dedicated studio, rapidly replicate this success, and seize the market gap."
"Exactly! That's exactly what I was thinking!" Gu Wanqing nodded vigorously, echoing her excitement. "We've got momentum now—we should strike while the iron is hot and launch follow-up projects immediately! The scripts are ready, and the team is already well-coordinated!"
Yu Sheng's gaze moved between her two capable subordinates. Their analysis and enthusiasm completely solidified her decision.
She took a deep breath and made her call. "Alright! Wanqing, go all out! Whatever support you need, report directly to Assistant Su or me! Make Qiyun Film and Television the industry leader of short dramas!"
"Yes, President Yu! Don't worry! We'll deliver!" Filled with energy, Gu Wanqing seemed unstoppable. With her orders in hand, she rushed out to set everything in motion.
The office was left with only Yu Sheng and Su Qingyu.
Yu Sheng looked out at the bustling traffic below, the excitement in her heart gradually settling into a more solid sense of confidence.
The success of the short drama was like a shot in the arm—it not only brought in enormous profits, but more importantly, it bought her precious time and leverage to break free from the Shen Group's constraints.
"Qingyu," she turned around, her tone serious, "this is a crucial step forward for us."
"I understand, President Yu." Su Qingyu nodded with a smile. "This is only the beginning."
——
At the same time, Lin Ruoyan's mood had hit rock bottom.
Irritated, she threw a completely unremarkable project proposal onto the desk and vented her frustration at her manager. "More scraps of resources again—not even a decent second female lead role can be secured. If this keeps up, my studio will be living off nothing!"
Her manager looked troubled and cautiously tried to persuade her. "Ruoyan, things aren't the same as before. A lot of the resources you had earlier were only given because of President Shen's influence… and now, President Shen's side seems… well."
She sighed, leaving the rest unsaid, but the meaning was obvious.
Lin Ruoyan's expression darkened further—how could she not know?
Without Shen Yunmian's protection, her status in the entertainment industry had plummeted. The people who used to curry favor with her were now avoiding her like the plague.
Observing her expression, the manager hesitated before leaning in and speaking in a low voice. "However, I did hear something… Qiyun Film and Television—the new short drama division under Yu Group. Their first short drama exploded. Daily recharge exceeded one hundred million, and now the traffic is through the roof, with extremely high buzz."
Lin Ruoyan suddenly looked up, disbelief flashing in her eyes. "The one Yu Sheng is doing? How is that possible?"
"It's absolutely true. The numbers don't lie," the manager said firmly. "A lot of people are eyeing this opportunity now. Ruoyan, how about… you give it a try? After all, you and President Yu are old acquaintances…"
Lin Ruoyan's voice instantly rose, filled with humiliation. "You want me to go wag my tail and beg her? Absolutely not!"
The manager sighed helplessly. "Times have changed. Their projects are at the peak of popularity right now. If you can land the female lead, your popularity will come back immediately. It's better than just sitting here waiting to die, isn't it?"
Lin Ruoyan fell silent, struggling internally.
Her pride refused to accept it, but the harsh reality lashed at her like a whip.
In the end, her desire for a comeback overwhelmed everything.
She clenched her teeth, as if making a huge decision. "…Fine! I'll try!"
A few days later, Lin Ruoyan, carefully dressed up but unable to hide the unnaturalness in her expression, appeared in Yu Sheng's office.
She forced a smile she thought was friendly, trying to get closer. "Sheng Sheng, long time no see. You're becoming more and more like a capable businesswoman."
Yu Sheng looked up from her documents. Seeing her, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes before she returned to calmness, her tone distant. "Miss Lin, what is it?" She deliberately emphasized "Miss Lin," drawing a clear line.
Lin Ruoyan choked on the address, her face stiffening, but she pressed on. "I heard your company's short drama projects are very successful—congratulations. I happen to have some free time recently and am quite interested in this new format… Considering how long we've known each other, I should support your project. As for the female lead, I believe I'm fully qualified…"
Yu Sheng didn't even let her finish before rejecting her outright. "Miss Lin, our casting follows strict procedures and standards. There is currently no role suitable for you."
Such a blunt and merciless rejection was like a slap across Lin Ruoyan's face.
All her pretense instantly collapsed. Her face flushed red with humiliation and anger. "Yu Sheng! You—"
"I'm very busy. Please see yourself out, Miss Lin." Yu Sheng lowered her head and stopped looking at her, pressing the intercom. "Show the guest out."
Lin Ruoyan was "escorted" out of Yu Group, overwhelming humiliation and hatred wrapping around her like poisonous vines.
Back at her studio, she smashed a vase in anger.
Her manager didn't dare ask anything upon seeing this.
"Yu Sheng! Who does she think she is, treating me like this!"
Lin Ruoyan's chest heaved violently, her beautiful face twisted with jealousy and hatred. "She's only relying on her status as Mrs. Shen! Without that, Yu Sheng is nothing!"
Her manager cautiously tried to calm her. "Ruoyan, calm down. She's at the height of her success right now, we—"
"At the height of her success?" Lin Ruoyan suddenly turned around, her eyes dark and sinister. "I don't believe she's that clean! A married woman with such a young, beautiful assistant by her side, going in and out together, so close—how could there be nothing going on?"
It was as if she had grabbed onto a lifeline, the more she thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.
Yu Sheng was now so cold to both her and Shen Yunmian, yet showed clear favor toward Su Qingyu—there was something abnormal about that in itself!
"Go!" she ordered sharply. "Find someone—the best paparazzi. I want them to follow Yu Sheng twenty-four hours a day! I don't believe we can't dig up some dirt on her. Let's see if Sister Yunmian will still want her then."
The manager was startled by the madness in her eyes but didn't dare refuse and hurried off to carry out the task.
A few days later, however, the paparazzi's report left Lin Ruoyan deeply disappointed.
"Miss Lin, Yu Sheng's life is basically just two points—home and office," the voice on the phone sounded helpless and bored. "Every day she either goes to work or returns to her apartment. She rarely even attends social events. We've followed her for days, and there's really… nothing valuable."
The paparazzi sent over some candid photos—most were repetitive and uneventful.
Lin Ruoyan flipped through them irritably, growing more frustrated the more she looked.
Yu Sheng was actually this "flawless"? It left her pent-up resentment with nowhere to go.
However, when she reached a few particular photos, her fingers suddenly stopped.
They were taken of Yu Sheng and Su Qingyu dining together at a restaurant.
In the photos, Yu Sheng looked relaxed, a light smile on her lips as she listened attentively to Su Qingyu. The atmosphere between them was natural and harmonious—something Lin Ruoyan hadn't seen in a long time between Yu Sheng and Shen Yunmian.
A malicious thought instantly took root in her mind.
No dirt? Then create some.
She refused to believe that when these "intimate" photos, taken from carefully chosen angles and paired with suggestive captions, were presented to Shen Yunmian, the ever-proud Shen Yunmian would remain unmoved.
A determined smile appeared on Lin Ruoyan's face as she immediately called the paparazzi again, giving excited instructions:
"Keep following them. Focus on her and that assistant, Su Qingyu! Find the right angles—I want it to look as ambiguous and suggestive as possible. Do you understand?"
Within a few days, the paparazzi delivered exactly what she wanted.
She wasted no time contacting a studio notorious for fabricating gossip, carefully constructing a rumor about "the CEO of Yu Group having an ambiguous relationship with her beautiful assistant, entering and leaving together intimately," attaching several secretly taken photos with tricky angles.
In those photos, through perspective and positioning, Yu Sheng and Su Qingyu did indeed appear somewhat ambiguously close.
Lin Ruoyan spent a large sum of money to have the studio spread the story through various unofficial channels—anonymous forums, gossip groups—deliberately guiding public opinion and creating rumors that Yu Sheng was cheating in her marriage and that her relationship with Shen Yunmian existed in name only.
In the internet age, rumors spread like ink dropped into water—faster than anyone could imagine.
At first, it circulated only in anonymous forums and gossip groups, but gradually, it began to be mentioned casually within certain business circles.
Eventually, the whispers reached Shen Yunmian's ears.
She tried not to care, but instinctive suspicion and bitterness grew uncontrollably within her.
The candid photos were blurry and taken at odd angles, but the frequency with which Yu Sheng and Su Qingyu appeared together was indeed high. Their expressions when talking looked so natural and harmonious.
An indescribable irritation and heaviness wrapped around her day and night.
She wanted to confront Yu Sheng directly, but the moment she thought of those cold, mocking eyes, all her courage collapsed.
At that moment, a monthly coordination meeting for a joint project between the two companies was held at Yu Group.
As the highest person in charge of the project, Shen Yunmian had to attend.
In the conference room, Yu Sheng sat at the head, while Su Qingyu, as her core assistant, naturally sat slightly behind and to her side.
During the meeting, Yu Sheng habitually tilted her head slightly, speaking to Su Qingyu in a low voice to exchange opinions.
Su Qingyu leaned in as well, responding in the same hushed tone—their tacit understanding was obvious.
This scene, falling into Shen Yunmian's already unsettled eyes, was instantly magnified, overlapping with the rumors she had heard. A sharp surge of jealousy mixed with anger shot straight to her head.
She almost lost control, but the last thread of reason held her back.
She forced herself to remain calm—such impulsive behavior was not something Shen Yunmian would ever do.
For the rest of the meeting, she maintained a cold facade, only wishing for it to end as soon as possible.
The moment it ended, she was almost the first to stand and leave the room.
But instead of leaving the building, she walked straight to a relatively quiet corner in the executive office corridor and instructed her assistant in a low voice:
"Go invite Assistant Su Qingyu over. Tell her I have some project details to confirm with her privately."
The assistant complied and left.
Before long, Su Qingyu walked over alone, her face still carrying that professional calm. "President Shen, you were looking for me?"
As she thought of the way Su Qingyu and Yu Sheng leaned close and spoke in quiet understanding, the fire in Shen Yunmian's chest could no longer be suppressed.
She tried to keep her voice steady, but a trace of cold accusation still slipped through. "Assistant Su, being capable at work is a good thing. But sometimes, you should also pay attention to your behavior and know your boundaries. After all… gossip can be dangerous."
Su Qingyu was briefly taken aback, then immediately understood.
She was not intimidated by Shen Yunmian's imposing manner. Instead, she responded calmly and without servility, "President Shen, I'm not quite sure what you mean. May I ask what specific behavior of mine at work has been inappropriate? Please point it out clearly so I can correct it in time."
Her directness and composure choked Shen Yunmian for a moment. Was she supposed to say outright, "You're getting too close to my wife"?
Shen Yunmian's tone grew stiffer. "You've probably heard some of the rumors. I hope you can take the initiative to avoid suspicion and reduce unnecessary private contact. It would be better for both your reputation and President Yu's."
Hearing this, not only did Su Qingyu show no panic or embarrassment, she actually smiled.
"President Shen, so you're referring to those baseless rumors. Then may I ask—do you trust your wife?"
"I do, of course!" Shen Yunmian blurted out almost instinctively.
"In that case," Su Qingyu continued with impeccable logic, leaving no room for rebuttal, "Shouldn't what you really do be to investigate the source of those malicious rumors and find the person slandering your wife? Rather than coming here to make such unreasonable and insulting demands of an employee who is simply doing her job."
Shen Yunmian froze in place, rendered speechless by Su Qingyu's words.
Su Qingyu gave a slight nod. Her posture remained polite, but her words were like a soft blade. "If President Shen has no further business instructions, I'll take my leave. President Yu still has work waiting for me."
Without waiting for a response, she turned and left calmly.
Only after she was gone did Shen Yunmian come back to her senses, her face shifting between pale and flushed, as if unable to believe what had just happened.
What had she been doing?
She had let those low-level rumors throw her completely off balance and had even come to confront an assistant?
This wasn't like her at all. A wave of irritation and humiliation surged through her.
Once she calmed down, Shen Yunmian immediately made a call. "Investigate it at once. I want to know who is spreading rumors about my marriage as quickly as possible!"
"Yes, President Shen!"
Standing there, Shen Yunmian took several deep breaths before barely suppressing the turmoil inside her.
When Su Qingyu returned to the president's office, Yu Sheng had just finished a call.
Seeing her come in, Yu Sheng asked casually, "What did Shen Yunmian want? Was there another issue with the project?"
Su Qingyu smiled lightly, her tone as casual as if she were recounting something amusing. "Nothing like that. President Shen just… reminded me to watch my behavior, so as not to cause misunderstandings."
Yu Sheng's brows immediately furrowed. "What misunderstandings?"
Su Qingyu shrugged, a hint of teasing in her tone. "Probably those boring rumors about me being overly close to you have reached her ears. She seems… a little bothered by it." She paused, then added as if unable to resist commenting, "President Yu, I might be overstepping, but I'm a bit surprised. President Shen is so decisive in business, yet when it comes to handling emotional matters, she's… rather inefficient. No wonder your marriage has problems."
Yu Sheng froze for a moment, then let out a faint, bitter smile.
She had always known Shen Yunmian was clueless when it came to emotions, but she hadn't expected her to be foolish enough to go and warn Su Qingyu.
It was so absurd… she didn't even have the energy to be angry.
"She's always been like that. Just ignore her," Yu Sheng said lightly, saying no more as she returned her focus to the documents in front of her. But in her heart, the urge to divorce grew even more urgent.
Dealing with someone who was completely on a different wavelength was simply too exhausting.
Since Shen Yunmian insisted on dragging things out, then she would have to proceed through legal channels.
Yu Sheng directly contacted her legal team, sending over all the prenuptial agreements she had signed, along with financial dealings and investments between Yu Corporation and Shen Corporation, for a full evaluation.
She decided to file for divorce.
