Marrying the Divorced Female Protagonist O After Transmigrating into a Book - Chapter 8

It felt like no time had passed when the alarm went off. The sound was a bit loud, startling Zhao Xinyu, who suddenly looked up. She looked at the phone screen and clicked to turn off the alarm.

Zhao Xinyu chose a satisfactory outfit, changed, and headed out to Sun Qianyi’s house.

Just as she was about to leave, a voice came from behind: “Where are you going for fun?”

Zhao Xinyu turned around and saw Zhao Xuan walking down the stairs. Zhao Xinyu giggled and said, “I’m going to see Sister Qianyi. I want to check out her studio. Brother, you and Sister Qianyi are good friends and classmates; do you know about Sister Qianyi’s studio? I heard it’s very impressive.”

Our family company is also very impressive, but I don’t see you going to check it out. You’re so eager to visit someone else’s place. “I’ve heard of it. Your Sister Qianyi is one of the most talented dancers in our country. When you go, make sure to learn a thing or two from your Sister Qianyi.”

“Oh, Brother, I can’t dance, so how can I learn from Sister Qianyi? That’s too much to ask! I’m just going to look. I can’t talk to you anymore, Brother, I’m rushing to get there.” Zhao Xuan is actually not older than me, right? He’s a little gossipy; he’s curious about everything his sister does and needs to ask about it.

“Alright, hurry up and go.” Watching Zhao Xinyu’s retreating figure, Zhao Xuan smiled indulgently.

Zhao Xinyu had saved Sun Qianyi’s home address in her navigation app and clicked to navigate.

Afraid that Sun Qianyi might go to the studio by herself and she might miss her, Zhao Xinyu sent a message to Sun Qianyi: Sister, I’m coming to your place now, and then I’ll take Sister to the studio.

Sun Qianyi was packing her luggage at home when she heard the message notification. Seeing the message from Little Xin, Sun Qianyi couldn’t help but smile and reply: Okay. [Emoji: Cute Cat]

Seeing Sun Qianyi’s reply, Zhao Xinyu drove off immediately, not paying too much attention to the three-word expression pack.

Leaving the suburbs and entering the city, Zhao Xinyu glanced at the roadside. There was a flower shop. When reading the book, she hadn’t paid much attention to the flowers Sun Qianyi liked, and going empty-handed seemed a bit rude. I’ll buy a bouquet for Sun Qianyi since it’s on the way.

…

[The following events regarding buying flowers and going to Sun Qianyi’s place are covered in the previous chapter. The current chapter focuses on her return and preparation after dropping Sun Qianyi off.]

…

Watching Sun Qianyi check her ticket and enter, Zhao Xinyu finally left the airport and drove home. Upon arriving home, she saw Zhao Xuan sitting in the living room, seemingly working. Zhao Xinyu was curious and sat down next to Zhao Xuan. “Brother~ Are you working?”

Zhao Xuan was replying to important work messages from staff, typing while also replying to his sister: “Yes, I need to take care of this immediately.”

Seeing Zhao Xuan’s fingers constantly typing, Zhao Xinyu hummed and didn’t interrupt Zhao Xuan further.

Zhao Xinyu didn’t leave the living room, sitting next to Zhao Xuan and working on her own tasks. Zhao Xinyu needed to properly classify the information she was researching into documents, so it would be easy to find when needed.

Before doing all this, Zhao Xinyu first sent a message to Sun Qianyi: Sister, I’m home.

Sun Qianyi would be gone for the next few days, so Zhao Xinyu planned to download and study the stock market trends of this world over many years. As for the specific details of each company, Zhao Xinyu could either ask someone to find them once she joined the company or directly ask Zhao Xuan, who should know most of it.

Zhao Xuan finished his work and saw his sister looking at her phone, clicking away with intense concentration. Could she be planning a trip again? Whenever my sister looks like this, she’s usually planning a trip. “Little Xin?”

Zhao Xinyu frowned, slightly confused that Zhao Xuan suddenly called her name. She looked up at Zhao Xuan: “What is it?”

“What are you doing? You look so focused.” He asked with an innocent expression.

“Making a spreadsheet. Why?”

Making a spreadsheet? It shouldn’t be about traveling. “Nothing.”

“Oh,” Zhao Xinyu replied, then continued to ask, “Brother, when are Mom and Dad coming back? Why haven’t they messaged me?”

Zhao Xuan seemed to think for a moment and said, “Mom and Dad haven’t decided exactly when they’ll be back. They’ll definitely tell you once they’ve set a time.”

“Alright then.” She wanted to know when the original host’s parents would return so she could gauge how much time she had left to prepare. The Zhao family has large businesses, and Zhao Xinyu hadn’t yet decided which area of work she wanted to focus on.

“Did you eat dinner outside?” The housekeeper usually prepared dinner around six or seven, but Little Xin hadn’t returned. He wasn’t very hungry either, so he took the opportunity to do some work.

“I haven’t eaten.”

I knew it. I don’t know what Little Xin was doing all afternoon, but she didn’t even eat dinner. Fortunately, the food was ready; she just needed to wash her hands to eat. “Go wash your hands. The food should still be warm.”

“Okay.” Saying this, Zhao Xinyu happily went to wash her hands. She was genuinely hungry. She had been just about to ask Zhao Xuan if he had eaten dinner. Sure enough, he’s a loving older brother; he had the food ready and was waiting for her to come back and eat.

Zhao Xuan stood up, smiling sweetly at the sight of Little Xin heading to the bathroom. She’s so carefree. When will she ever grow up?

During dinner, Zhao Xinyu thought about asking Zhao Xuan for information about other companies. Since the original host had a finance major, asking Zhao Xuan for information about other companies would be a good way to subtly reveal her interest. “Brother, I’ve been studying the trends of various sectors in the stock market recently. You probably have information on those companies, right? Could you let me take a look?”

Hearing his sister’s request, Zhao Xuan was somewhat surprised. Studying stock market sectors? Did she just ask me for information about those companies? I feel like I might be hearing things! “Why the sudden interest in this?”

“Well, I’m not traveling anymore. I was bored, so I decided to look at the stock market,” Zhao Xinyu said, continuing to eat her meal.

It seems Little Xin is starting to get interested in the stock market; that’s a good thing. “I’ll message my secretary later and have her send you the information tomorrow.” Saying this, Zhao Xuan recommended his secretary’s WeChat to Little Xin, while also leaving a message for his secretary: My sister will add you later. Just accept it first. Then he told Little Xin, “I recommended my secretary’s WeChat to you. Add her.”

“Okay, Brother. Brother, hurry up and eat.”

“Mhm.”

After dinner, Zhao Xinyu went to the gym as she had yesterday and walked slowly on the treadmill for a while. After finishing, she went back to her room to wash up. Zhao Xinyu continued her work. After an hour or two, Zhao Xinyu suddenly realized a problem: she didn’t have a printer in her room! Zhao Xinyu went to Zhao Xuan’s door and knocked.

At this time, Sun Qianyi had sent Zhao Xinyu a message, but Zhao Xinyu hadn’t seen it because she was busy with her work.

Zhao Xuan opened the door, looking somewhat surprised, and asked, “What is it?”

“Brother, can you have someone buy a printer and install it in my room tomorrow? I need to use it,” Zhao Xinyu said, clasping her hands behind her back.

“Sure, I understand.”

“Okay, Brother, I’m going back to my room now.” Saying this, Zhao Xinyu left and went back to her room.

Sub-sectors of the stock market have countless companies, and each company has its own stock price trend. Zhao Xinyu needed to screen and categorize them. Leading companies required special attention, and the rest needed to be slowly researched for their specific company information. Zhao Xinyu was interested in companies with development prospects, not just the leading ones.

Zhao Xinyu first made a rough outline of the collected information. Since there was too much data, she still needed to take her time with the detailed organization.

She went back to the bathroom to wash her face once more. This time, Zhao Xinyu was ready to sleep. Lying in bed, Zhao Xinyu finally saw the messages Sun Qianyi had sent her.

My Wife, Your Excellency: Little Xin, I’ve arrived at my destination.

My Wife, Your Excellency: I’m at the hotel now. [Photo, Photo]

My Wife, Your Excellency: Little Xin, Sister is going to rest now. Good night. [Selfie, 1, 2, 3 photos]

…

Zhao Xinyu carefully composed her message before sending it: Sorry, Sister, I wasn’t checking my phone. Good night, Sister. I’m going to rest too.

After looking at the photos Sun Qianyi sent back and forth a few times, Zhao Xinyu finally clicked Save…

Zhao Xuan left for the company early the next morning. Zhao Xinyu finished breakfast and returned to her room to continue her work. When she woke up, Zhao Xinyu had sent a message to Sun Qianyi: Morning, Sister. After waiting two minutes with no reply, Zhao Xinyu put her phone aside and started working.

The printer was delivered quickly. It arrived at the house in less than an hour after Zhao Xinyu got busy. Not only the printer, but essential office supplies were also provided.

Zhao Xinyu was very happy because Zhao Xuan had been so thoughtful. After the printer was installed and the office supplies were set up, she continued working happily.

At noon, Zhao Xinyu quickly finished lunch and brought a fruit platter back to her room to continue working. In the afternoon, she continued to print out the information while organizing and classifying the data.

Zhao Xinyu reviewed the printed materials. She felt that she now needed a shredder. After looking around, she finally found her phone, which she had tossed aside. Opening the messaging app, she sent a message to Zhao Xuan: Brother, I also need a shredder.

…

Returning to the main chat list, Sun Qianyi had sent her a message. She clicked on it; Sun Qianyi asked if she had eaten lunch and also sent a photo of her lunch, plus a selfie. Zhao Xinyu casually saved the photo and replied to Sun Qianyi: Sister, I didn’t see your message because I was busy. Good luck with your performance tonight!

The shredder was delivered in less than two hours after she sent the message to Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xinyu sent a message to her brother: So fast! Shredder received. [Emoji: Thumbs Up]

Zhao Xuan was in his office dealing with the last batch of files at the moment. He laughed when he saw the message from Little Xin. It seems my sister is taking this seriously. After Little Xin looks through the company information, it will be time to tell her about our company’s affairs.

At 7:45 PM, Sun Qianyi was putting on makeup and told Su Ke: “Su Ke, remember to take a video when I’m on stage later. I… need it.”

Su Ke: “Understood, Sister Qianyi.”

Cai Luo, standing nearby, “Tsked” as she looked at Sun Qianyi.

Sun Qianyi didn’t bother arguing with the single dog and ignored her.

At 7:55 PM, a staff member came backstage: “Sister Sun, are you ready to go on stage?”

“Yes,” Sun Qianyi replied calmly.

After dinner in the evening, Zhao Xuan followed his sister to her room and was stunned by the sight inside! There was a pile of shredded paper in his sister’s room. It’s a good thing he had them prepare enough A4 paper for Little Xin to use up. “Little Xin, can your brother take a look at the data you’ve been researching?”

“Sure, it’s on the bed. Go ahead and look, Brother; I’m still busy.” The purpose of compiling this data wasn’t just for herself; she had originally planned to show it to Zhao Xuan and her parents. Since Zhao Xuan wanted to see it now, he could.

Walking to the bed and looking at the documents clipped with different colored paper clips, Zhao Xuan was very surprised. The data his sister had organized this time was even better than her previous travel plans. Zhao Xuan sat on the stool at the foot of the bed and began reading the documents his sister had compiled.

Zhao Xinyu continued her work; she was almost finished.

More than two hours passed. Zhao Xinyu finished organizing all the data. Holding the newly organized documents, Zhao Xinyu walked over to her brother. “Brother, when can you get me the information on the companies behind these stock prices?”

“The soonest is the day after tomorrow. I’ve already arranged for my secretary to compile the latest information. I’ll send it all to you then.” At this point, Zhao Xuan was serious about preparing the information for his sister. Zhao Xuan had looked through all the data on the bed. Little Xin’s analysis was noted next to each stock price trend. It seems Little Xin’s excellent grades during her four years of college weren’t just for graduation; she truly has extraordinary talent in this area. I need to call Mom and Dad and tell them about this.

“Little Xin, could you photocopy these documents you organized for me? There are some analyses you made that I hadn’t even noticed.”

“I could, Brother. But… Brother, you’ll have to buy me a photocopier before I can copy them for you,” Zhao Xinyu said, looking at Zhao Xuan with sincerity.

…

“How about this? I’ll talk to Mom and Dad tomorrow. I’ll just clear out a room and make it your private study.”

“That works too.”

After Zhao Xuan returned to his room, he immediately called his secretary: “The information I asked you to compile needs to be processed as quickly as possible. When you’re done, let me know immediately.”

The other end said, “Yes, Boss.”

“Alright, that’s all.” Zhao Xuan hung up the phone.

Because she had been busy all day, Zhao Xinyu tidied up the documents and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Lying in the warm bathtub, the hot water washed away the fatigue of Zhao Xinyu’s day.

After showering, Zhao Xinyu dried her hair and went to bed to rest.

As if by habit from the last two days, Zhao Xinyu opened the messaging app and sent a message to Sun Qianyi: Good night, Sister. Sweet dreams.

On Sun Qianyi’s side, after her dance performance, she immediately went to the banquet hosted by the organizers. At the banquet, after drinking a few glasses of red wine, Sun Qianyi began to pretend to be drunk and leaned on Cai Luo. Because Sun Qianyi’s status was quite high, the organizers couldn’t say anything.

Cai Luo found an opportunity and took Sun Qianyi back to the hotel.
