Chapter 686: Chapter 676: Shen Qingzhou, Director Li’s Phone Call

So far, there have been only two people who have called her their sister-in-law.

Shen Chuyue and Shen Huchen.

She’s already quite familiar with the siblings.

This is the third person to call her that.

The person approaching was wearing a light grey casual suit, with hair cut a bit short, and a rugged brow ridge, looking quite unlike Shen Chuyue and Shen Huchen.

He was walking over with a carefree and lively demeanor, much like a spirited and energetic college student.

Jiang Lingxi was sure she hadn’t met this person before but could guess who he was.

Shen Yunqing had told her that in his generation of the Shen Family, there were four direct descendants including him.

As for the collateral branches, they could be ignored.

She had already met the first three, and this last one seemed to be called Shen Qingzhou.

Just as she remembered this name, Jiang Lingxi heard his self-introduction.

"Hello, sister-in-law, I’m Shen Qingzhou, you can just call me Xiaozhou. Can you give me two autographs?"

Jiang Lingxi: "..."

This one was much more direct than the other cousins.

Definitely someone who’s naturally outgoing.

"Why two?"

Shen Qingzhou replied quickly, "My fiancée and I are both fans of yours."

Of course, their reasons for being fans were different.

The fiancée was simply attracted to the sister-in-law’s aura and appearance.

He purely admired her because he realized there really was someone in this world who could tame his elder cousin.

In his eyes, Jiang Lingxi was a legend, after all, he’d thought from a young age that his elder cousin, who was indifferent towards women, would likely remain single for life.

But as it turned out, his cousin was the first to get a marriage license.

When he heard this news from his dad, he was utterly shocked.

However, as curious as he was about the legendary sister-in-law, Shen Qingzhou didn’t rudely stare and even stopped more than a meter away.

And then, a gloved pair of hands appeared in front of him.

"I owe you for now. My hand is injured recently, so I can’t write."

Shen Qingzhou stared for a few moments before suddenly frowning, "What’s my cousin doing, letting you get hurt!"

This was the same thought Tong Yue had when she saw Jiang Lingxi’s injured hand, though she hadn’t dared to say it out loud.

Hearing it now, the slight displeasure of having their work discussion interrupted vanished instantly.

Otherwise, she might have nodded in agreement if she were alone.

"It’s not his fault." Jiang Lingxi didn’t go into detail and decisively changed the topic, "Are you looking for your cousin for something?"

Shen Qingzhou chuckled, "I guessed he was back since his contact address is in the country. I recently have a new idea and wanted to talk to him about investment."

He paused to glance at the sister-in-law’s manager beside him, "Didn’t expect the sister-in-law to be here too, you guys continue working. I’ll wait next door. Won’t disturb you any longer."

Saying so, he waved and was about to step aside.

Just then Shen Yunqing returned from a meeting and saw Shen Qingzhou standing in his office, "Why are you here?"

Jiang Lingxi watched as the person seemed to shrink from six feet to at least ten centimeters less in height, and his voice turned pitiable, "Cousin, I, I’m a bit tight on cash lately."

And Shen Yunqing didn’t appear to be hearing this for the first time, "What novel ideas do you have this time? Keep it simple, I only have ten minutes of rest, or we can talk at lunchtime, where we’ll have an hour."

"Then I’ll wait until lunch, there’s still an hour left. I can wait, haven’t eaten with you in ages. My idea this time is quite grand, can’t explain it in a few words."

Shen Yunqing waved his hand, and Shen Qingzhou cheerfully retreated.

Jiang Lingxi watched their exchange from start to finish, finding this might be the usual way the cousins interact.

Can’t deny, it was quite amusing.

After sending off the cousin, Shen Yunqing walked over to Jiang Lingxi again.

Beside her, Liang Qingqing was still immersed in how much more approachable and laid-back the boss seemed when interacting with family, quite different from the aloof impression he usually gave off.

When she came back to reality, people were already nearby, and she hurriedly stood up.

"Boss."

Shen Yunqing nodded at her, moving a pot of greenery that was blocking the sunlight aside, checking if the cup wasn’t empty, "Xiaozhou didn’t disturb your work talk, did he?"

"No," Jiang Lingxi shook her head with a smile, "He even mentioned that he and his fiancée are both my fans, wanting an autograph, I told him to wait."

"That’s just how he is, never serious. It’s not the first time he’s suddenly shown up like this. I’ve stopped bothering to say anything since he listens in one ear and out the other. Wanna join for lunch later?"

"No problem." After all, she wasn’t the one cooking, "Alright, you go and be busy. Now you’re the one interrupting our work talk."

This time, the office’s owner obediently retreated.

Liang Qingqing couldn’t help but rub her face.

Upon realizing the boss’s wife was actually Jiang Lingxi, she had secretly wondered how the two might interact usually.

Now seeing the real interaction, she realized her imagination was too limited.

So the boss could actually speak so gently, even noticing the greenery blocking the sun and if the water in the cup was finished!

The concise and precise demeanor in front of employees became nearly verbose in front of his wife.

Even watching just these few minutes of their interaction was enough to confirm, these two must be very happy!

"Mr. Shen is indeed busy, but that’s normal with year-end coming up," Tong Yue couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Lingxi sitting beside her.

With how busy he was, still accompanying his wife abroad for an international fashion event, she truly couldn’t find fault with him.

"Let’s continue discussing other arrangements..."

Before lunch, Tong Yue placed her tablet back in her bag with ease.

She felt that discussing work with Jiang Lingxi now was an enjoyment.

Jiang Lingxi didn’t just follow without thought; her input was decisive and precise, catching overlooked or forgotten points every time.

Especially when making decisions, she was conclusive and never wasted time in indecision.

Otherwise, with the current tasks, if it were someone indecisive or a picky artist, it could take all day with nothing finalized.

"Oh, by the way," as she packed up to leave, Tong Yue suddenly remembered something, "Almost forgot, do you remember Director Li?"

Jiang Lingxi thought for a moment, "Li Shuo, the director of ’Survival.’"

"Yes, he called me a few days ago, saying the third season of ’Survival’ is planned to be shot after the New Year, likely in March. The second season conflicted with your schedule in ’Empress Yuan Zhao,’ so you missed it. This time he wanted to ask if you’d be interested in guest-starring again. He said it’s just a query, and President Shao mentioned it depends on your willingness."
