Chapter 716: Chapter 706 The Impressive Butler Tu Susu

"I think you should just go with your usual style, it’s more natural."

"I think so too. What about the flowers? Will my sister-in-law like them? And the drinks and desserts, does she prefer tea or coffee, more into Western pastries or Chinese ones?"

Shen Qingzhou felt increasingly aggrieved as he listened: "How could I possibly know all that so well? You never paid this much attention to me before!"

"Aren’t our tastes the same? What’s the use of you then? I’ll just go look it up myself."

Tu Susu left him with a cold shoulder.

Leaving Shen Qingzhou behind, waving like a desperate character, he hadn’t even had a chance to ask if she wanted to have lunch together. He just discovered a new restaurant!

The next day when Jiang Lingxi arrived at Qingyin Technology Company, she immediately spotted a particularly intense gaze among the welcoming crowd as soon as she got out of the car.

Of course, it might also have something to do with that huge bouquet of red roses the person was holding.

Shen Qingzhou stepped forward, "Sister-in-law..."

However, Tu Susu was faster, "Hello, Sister-in-law. I’m Tu Susu, the Administrative General Manager of Qingyin Technology and also a fan of yours. Welcome to our company. These are flowers I prepared, I hope you like them."

Shen Qingzhou: "..."

Great, she took all his lines.

"Thank you, the flowers are beautiful, but you’re even more beautiful than the flowers."

Tu Susu’s already bright smile became even more radiant after hearing the compliment, "You’re even more gorgeous than you are on TV, now I completely understand the phrase ’breathtaking beauty.’"

People standing around them just watched as they complimented each other, exchanging looks in confusion.

Especially those from Qingyin Technology, who had to grit their teeth to keep their expressions in check.

Who would have thought that Tu, the manager at Qingyin Technology who was even more untouchable than President Shen, would act like this when meeting her idol? It’s completely overturned their understanding!

"Sister-in-law, it must have been tiring coming all this way, I’ve prepared some drinks and snacks so we can rest a bit before filming starts, what do you think?"

"Then I’ll just listen to Susu’s arrangements."

Jiang Lingxi could tell that this girl genuinely liked her, not fake enthusiasm due to other relationships.

Moreover, the other party despite her enthusiasm, arranged everything meticulously and thoughtfully.

Elegant and sophisticated, calm and capable, so this is the type of person Shen Qingzhou likes.

Honestly, she liked her too.

The two walked in arm in arm towards the already arranged lounge.

Shen Qingzhou, the bona fide boss, could only touch his nose and follow obediently behind.

Following them were Tong Yue and others who accompanied them from Qingyin Technology.

It was still work time, not yet year-end vacation, so naturally there were quite a few Qingyin Technology employees coming to and fro.

When passing by Jiang Lingxi and Tu Susu, they were shocked and delighted by the former, but upon seeing the latter walking beside her, they instantly calmed down, "Good morning, Manager Tu."

Tu Susu nodded at the employees who greeted her, her demeanor was aloof but she responded to each one.

Once inside the lounge, Jiang Lingxi couldn’t help but ask, "Why does everyone in your company call you Manager Tu?"

Although she had never worked in a company, she thought Tu Susu’s position should be called Manager Tu, just like how everyone calls Shen Qingzhou President Shen.

"Manager Tu is a short form, the full title is Big Manager Tu." Tu Susu said while gesturing to a sofa, "Sister-in-law, please sit. As you might have seen on your way over, most of our company’s employees are young, and the atmosphere is more lively. Since my position involves overseeing various aspects, somewhat like a big manager, someone started calling me that and later everyone followed suit."

She blinked, "Doesn’t it feel quite unique?"

"It is indeed quite unique."

After drinking tea and eating some snacks, they started the ad shoot.

Jiang Lingxi genuinely got to see Tu Susu’s work skills.

All planning and coordination were well thought out, covering every detail while also ensuring a balance between work and leisure, ensuring the filming staff and herself didn’t feel tired, without disturbing other employees’ normal work, and not wasting even a few minutes.

The work efficiency was outrageously high.

By noon, the entire advertisement from the promo video to the short film was already complete, everyone was still energetic, just a bit hungry.

Seeing Shen Qingzhou again, Jiang Lingxi barely resisted the urge to pull the person over.

Her place is too small now, bringing her over would be misusing great talent.

Besides, Shen Qingzhou couldn’t possibly bear to let her go.

They had another meal together at noon, Tu Susu not only got an autograph from her idol and sister-in-law but even exchanged contact details, only then did she contently yet reluctantly send her off.

"I’ll visit you for New Year greetings."

"Alright, I’ll wait for you, and give you a big red envelope then!"

Closing the car door, Tong Yue couldn’t help but breathe a light sigh.

"Miss Tu is amazing!"

As soon as she spoke, others in the car, including Jiang Lingxi, nodded in agreement.

"I finally understand where the title Manager Tu comes from." Lu Zhengzheng said while clenching her fist, "I want to learn from her, and hope that one day, someone will call me Assistant Lu!"

Fang Yao followed briskly, "I also want to be called Assistant Fang!"

Jiang Lingxi patted their shoulders, encouraging, "Keep it up!"

Seeing her subordinates striving for progress, as their supervisor, she was of course pleased.

Tong Yue pulled out the vibrating work phone from her bag, glanced at the number on the screen, and signaled for silence.

"Hello, Director Tang."

"The role of Xiao Chan in ’Empress Xiao’? Yes, we’ve heard of it; your endorsement is our honor. I’ll discuss it with Xiaoxi and get back to you. Okay, goodbye, and Happy New Year in advance."

After hanging up, Lu Zhengzheng couldn’t help but speak, "Did the director of ’Empress Xiao’ invite Sister Xixi to play Xiao Chan?"

Tong Yue nodded with a wide grin, "’Empress Xiao’ is the biggest production among the few film projects teased at the start of the year. The production team probably noticed your popularity, Xiaoxi, plus your acting skills were also recognized by the public in ’Empress Yuan Zhao,’ so now even that acting shortcoming is gone."

"But I heard that the role of Xiao Chan was already internally decided for the empress-role specialist Zhou Lingyue?"

Tong Yue waved dismissively and scoffed, "That’s just Zhou Lingyue’s studio deliberately spreading rumors to increase her chances of being selected. But such a major production, especially such an important role, can’t be decided on by her little stunts. Four words for her: wishful thinking."

She looked at Jiang Lingxi, "What do you think, Xiaoxi?"

The character of Xiao Chan existed before the founding of Dayin, and Jiang Lingxi believed that her grasp of the historical data was more complete than anyone’s at present. When asked, she summarized without hesitation, "Empress Xiao, Xiao Chan, was a woman from a period when four great dynasties stood strong, who became the only regent empress and Empress Dowager of Xiao Country with a second marriage, still at the peak of power until her death. She’s indeed a rare major female protagonist role."

Tong Yue nodded but then furrowed her brow, "But from your reaction, it doesn’t seem like you’re really excited about this role?"

"Hmm, I just don’t like Xiao Chan as a person."
