Marrying the Divorced Female Protagonist O After Transmigrating into a Book - Chapter 29

In the afternoon, Zhao Xinyu and Zhang Yue continued interviewing editors in the HR department. When the last person finished the interview, Zhao Xinyu turned to Zhang Yue and asked, “Have the job postings for the other positions been released?”

“Yes, they have, Miss Zhao.”

“Good. If there are interviews for agents, let me know. I’ll personally interview them. HR will handle the recruitment for other positions.” Saying this, she looked at the HR manager next to her. Agents are very important. This position is no less important than the secretary position. After the agents are hired, they need to have a meeting. While searching for good scripts, they should also start scouting artists from various colleges. If I want the company to last, hiring artists is essential.

“Understood.”

The HR manager, sitting nearby, waited for Secretary Zhang to finish speaking, then said, “Miss Zhao, rest assured. After the hiring is complete, we will send you the list of new employees.”

“Excellent. My office floor is the 9th floor. We’ll need to trouble you and Secretary Zhang to handle the onboarding process for the people we hire.”

“It’s no trouble, Miss Zhao,” the HR manager said.

“Mhm. That’s all for today. Secretary Zhang and I will head back now.” Standing up, Zhao Xinyu waited for Zhang Yue to gather the documents.

The HR manager stood up and followed Secretary Zhang and Miss Zhao, seeing them off: “Take care, Miss Zhao.”

“Is that the Chairman’s daughter? She seems very capable! We barely used any of the interview questions our department prepared,” Xiao Mo from HR asked the manager.

The manager straightened his back and said in a deep voice, “Yes. After following Miss Zhao for interviews these past two days, you should know what to do without me telling you, right?”

“I understand, Manager. I’ll tell everyone in our department later that whatever Miss Zhao asks, we must complete it properly.”

“Mhm.” From the looks of it, none of the Zhao family children are useless. On the contrary, they are all exceptionally talented. Judging by Miss Zhao’s interviews these past two days, her eye for people is even subtly sharper than Mr. Zhao’s. With the leadership of the two Zhao siblings, I have absolutely no worries about my salary and benefits.

Her laptop was still in her brother’s office. She might as well go there to continue working. The company, stock products, and other matters are all progressing steadily. It’s time to ask Sun Qianyi if she told her father-in-law, Sun Yufeng, about getting their marriage certificate.

At 5:15 PM, Zhao Xinyu received a message from Sun Qianyi asking her to pick her up. She replied to the message: Okay.

Seeing Little Xin’s reply, Sun Qianyi put down her phone and went into the room to shower. Tonight is the first time going to the movies with Little Xin. Sun Qianyi was very much looking forward to it. The warm water splashed on her face, feeling cozy. Closing her eyes, Sun Qianyi’s lips curved into a smile. I’ve only been with Little Xin for a few days, and I already feel these pink bubbles.

When I married Lin Fanchen, I thought I would just settle down and live life like most people. I tried to smile but couldn’t. I left because Lin Fanchen demanded too much, seeking release. I was always passive. The only time I was emotionally proactive was when I married Little Xin!

Leaving Zhao Xuan’s office and passing Zhang Yue’s desk, she looked at Zhang Yue and asked, “Zhang Yue, do you know where there’s a flower shop nearby?”

“Go out and turn left. There’s a flower shop within a few hundred meters.”

“Okay, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

As Zhang Yue said, Zhao Xinyu quickly found the flower shop. At the flower shop, Zhao Xinyu bought a bouquet of lilies and then headed to Sun Qianyi’s studio. She didn’t see Sun Qianyi in the third-floor office, so Zhao Xinyu went straight upstairs. She knocked, and there was no response. Zhao Xinyu waited outside with the lilies for a bit.

After about 10 minutes, her phone rang. Zhao Xinyu brought the phone up and saw a message from Sun Qianyi: Little Xin, where are you? Zhao Xinyu put her phone away, stood up, turned around, and knocked again. This time, the door opened quickly. Sun Qianyi stood in front of her. “This is for you.”

“Did you buy the flowers because we’re going to the movies today?” Sun Qianyi asked, tilting her head.

Zhao Xinyu smiled at her: “Yes and no.”

“You’ll have to wait for me. My hair isn’t dry yet.”

“Okay.” She glanced at Sun Qianyi’s hair. She must have just come out of the shower. “I’ll dry it for you.”

“Mhm, mhm~”

…

Stepping out of the elevator, Zhao Xinyu asked Sun Qianyi, “What time is the movie?”

“It’s at 8:30 PM. Let’s go grab something to eat first.”

“Okay. What do you want to eat?”

“Hmm… I don’t know. Does Little Xin have anything she wants to eat?”

“Where is the movie theater? We can eat dinner near the theater.”

“That works too. It’s at the Aimi Mall cinema.”

“Good. Let’s go straight there.”

“Mhm~”

On the way, the two decided to eat at Zizhu Restaurant, then go to the cinema on the 8th floor afterward. Sitting down at the restaurant, Zhao Xinyu messaged Ming Wenxin that she and Sun Qianyi wouldn’t be coming home for dinner.

“Sister, you still haven’t told me what genre the movie is!” Zhao Xinyu asked her with a meaningful look.

“…Um, Little Xin will know when she gets the movie tickets later.” She originally wanted to buy tickets for a later showing, but she had to practice dancing the next day, so she chose a romance movie and bought the tickets. Looking at the reviews… it seemed quite good. The preview video and photos… mhm, quite… decent.

“Fine. I’ll get the tickets later.”

Her voice was very soft: “Mhm~”

“…”

Zhao Xinyu saw they were almost finished with dinner. She looked up at Sun Qianyi: “Have you told your father-in-law about the marriage certificate, Sister?”

Sun Qianyi was stunned. She hadn’t told that man yet. Sun Qianyi didn’t want to say it so soon. If she told him, he would definitely cling to the Zhao family for benefits. On the other hand, Lin Fanchen and Sun Qian were about to get married. “Little Xin, can we wait a little longer before I tell him, okay?”

Zhao Xinyu asked, slightly confused, “Why?”

“…Sun Qian, my sister, might be marrying Lin Fanchen soon. I was thinking of waiting until after they get married to find an opportunity to talk about this.”

???

Oh, Lin Fanchen is going to marry Sun Qian?! It looks like I need to change my plans. “Okay, I’ll listen to you, Sister. Just remember to tell me in advance when you plan to say something.”

“Mhm, I will.”

“Are you full?”

Sun Qianyi smiled. She had eaten a lot: “I’m full.”

“Let’s go walk around a bit, and then we can head over.”

“Mhm.”

Checking the time, Zhao Xinyu and Sun Qianyi browsed briefly. Before heading to the cinema, they bought milk tea and popcorn. They only bought the smallest size of popcorn. Sun Qianyi needed to maintain her figure and couldn’t eat much, and she wasn’t particularly fond of sweets herself.

Scanning the code, she watched the movie ticket slowly emerge from the machine. Picking it up, Zhao Xinyu carefully read the information on the ticket. It was a romance movie. Zhao Xinyu was a little confused. It’s just a romance movie. Why was Sun Qianyi too embarrassed to say it?

Holding the movie tickets, the two lined up to have their tickets checked and enter the cinema. It was very dark inside. Walking too fast would definitely cause a fall. The person who was initially holding her arm switched to holding her waist. Zhao Xinyu wrapped her arm around Sun Qianyi’s shoulder from behind to find their seats.

“…” So, why choose seats so far in the back?

Zhao Xinyu was confused again!

They found their seats in the second-to-last row. Because they came in a few minutes early, the movie started after a few minutes of commercials. At first, Zhao Xinyu didn’t notice anything unusual. The main characters’ relationship slowly progressed, but things started to get weird in the middle!

Oh my goodness! I understand why Sun Qianyi couldn’t bring herself to say it now! On the movie screen, the main characters were very intimate. Zhao Xinyu felt incredibly thirsty just watching it. She reached out to touch the milk tea next to her, wanting a couple of sips to quench her thirst. She didn’t find the milk tea but touched Sun Qianyi’s hand. Zhao Xinyu was stunned and turned to look at her. Their eyes met, and Sun Qianyi’s hand gripped hers. Zhao Xinyu had to use her other hand to grab the milk tea, taking several big gulps before putting it back.

The movie continued, with one intimate scene after another. Some couples in the cinema began to grow restless, leaning in to kiss each other…

At this point, Zhao Xinyu couldn’t bear to look at either the movie or the scene inside the cinema. She glanced at Sun Qianyi, who was watching very intently, seemingly viewing the movie with an appreciative eye. Zhao Xinyu suddenly felt admiration for Sun Qianyi. She truly is an artist. She can watch a movie like this with composure, completely undisturbed.

Raising her wrist, Zhao Xinyu leaned in to check the time. The movie still had over 30 minutes left. She gently tapped Sun Qianyi’s shoulder and said, “I need to use the restroom… I’ll be right back.”

“I’ll go with you.”

“No need. I can go by myself.” This person is watching so intently. Besides, I’ll be fine.

“I’ll go with you. It’s so dark here; I’m scared.”

“…Alright then.”

Because they were going to the restroom, Zhao Xinyu let go of Sun Qianyi, and they left their drinks behind in their seats. Following the signs, Zhao Xinyu quickly found the restroom. Going inside, she turned on the faucet and washed her face with cold tap water.

“Little Xin, are you feeling unwell?”

“…Mhm.” I won’t deny it. With Sun Qianyi holding my hand in the cinema and watching the scenes on the screen, that place of mine reacted, and my body felt very hot.

Sun Qianyi led Little Xin to an empty stall in the restroom, saying softly, “Come with me.”

Zhao Xinyu let her lead the way. The physical discomfort made it hard to think about anything else.

Watching Sun Qianyi close the stall door, she turned around, wrapped her arms around her neck, and leaned in to kiss her. Sun Qianyi isn’t helping at all; she’s just adding fuel to the fire. Pulling the person in her arms away, she looked at Sun Qianyi, who was breathing rapidly. “Sister, just let me hold you for a bit, and I’ll be fine.”

“You can, Little Xin. You…”

“I’m fine.” Pulling Sun Qianyi’s waist closer to her, Zhao Xinyu couldn’t help but let out a soft “Hmph.” “Just a little hug. Just a little hug will be fine.”

Sun Qianyi felt her cheeks getting very hot. Leaning on Little Xin’s shoulder, she replied, “Mhm.”

The fire in Zhao Xinyu’s heart subsided, and the movie also ended. Holding Sun Qianyi’s hand, the two left the cinema and walked outside. “I’m sorry, Sun Qianyi. We didn’t finish the movie…”

“It’s fine, Little Xin. Let’s go home now.”

“Mhm.”

Just as they were about to leave the cinema, Zhao Xinyu suddenly saw an incredibly familiar person! Stopping, Zhao Xinyu felt she had transmigrated again! She actually saw Zhao Yanran at the cinema at this time!!!

“What’s wrong?” Sun Qianyi asked.

“Ah, um, nothing. Let’s go.” Who is Zhao Yanran watching the movie with? Is the girl sitting next to her with Zhao Yanran?

No matter what, I just discovered something incredible!

It looks like Zhao Yanran is on a date with someone!

This is a good thing!
