The difference between cloud and mud.

It was the first time that Yan Xia understood this phrase.

She still remembered the scene when she first met Zhang Ying three years ago.

Under the heavy snow, Zhang Ying, who was wearing a beret, smiled sweetly. She waved at Jiang Huai, who was behind Yan Xia.

She still remembered Jiang Huai from that day. He was tall and handsome.

At that time, his eyes were still bright, and his smile was so gentle and warm.

Yan Xia snapped out of her reverie and realized that the teenager who had been following her all the way had followed her into her office. He was looking at the documents in her hand in surprise.

“So the news that the marketing accounts were talking about was true!”

“What?” Yan Xia was curious.

She was a secretary before, so she was rarely involved in the entertainment industry.

The young man had an all-knowing look and said proudly, “The marketing accounts are all saying that Zhang Ying wants to enter the entertainment industry, and the Jiang Corporation set up a management company specifically to poach Zhang Ying, who has returned to China. Moreover, Zhang Ying’s economic contract negotiations were all handled by President Jiang personally! It’s enough to see how much importance the Jiang Corporation places on Zhang Ying!”

Yan Xia was stunned. Did Jiang Huai not come home yesterday because…

The youngster continued, “But Zhang Ying still has to act as a guest in a show overseas. It seems like she still has a few days before she can finish her work. She hasn’t even signed the contract with the Jiang Corporation yet. Isn’t it a little too fast that Sunny has already sorted out the artistes’ information?”

Yan Xia put down the things in her hands and looked at the young man in front of her with a serious face. Why was a newcomer in the company being so nosy?

“What’s your name? Which department did you apply for?”

The young man did not seem to notice the displeasure in Yan Xia’s eyes. He took off his cap, tidied his hair, and stood up straight with a bright smile.

“My name is Zhang Rui. I’m applying for the position of an artiste assistant job that starts today. Good day, Director!”

Yan Xia nodded imperceptibly and reevaluated the person in front of her.

“Go report to your department head and ask him to arrange a suitable job for you. You should also listen to his arrangements on which artiste you should work with.”

Zhang Rui nodded, but he didn’t have any intention of leaving.

Yan Xia looked at him with a frown.

“Director, can I choose which artiste I want to follow?” Zhang Rui said with a cheeky smile. “I promise that I’ll be quick, hardworking, and sensible. I’ll definitely be able to help you!”

“Oh?” It had been a long time since Yan Xia had seen someone so passionate about work. She was impressed. “Tell me, who do you want to work for?”

“Zhang Ying!” he said without any hesitation.

Yan Xia didn’t expect this person to be so ambitious. He didn’t bother with ordinary artistes, but he followed the biggest one.

“The reason.”

Zhang Rui responded without any consideration.

“The second reason!” He suddenly lowered his voice. “According to gossip, this Zhang Ying and President Jiang have a special relationship. I heard that Zhang Ying and President Jiang had an ambiguous relationship before she went abroad. However, no one knows why President Jiang didn’t marry her. But this time, when she returns to China, I think the two of them will definitely get back together! It’s nothing new for the rich to get divorced and remarry. If I follow Zhang Ying, I’ll be able to rise to the top!”

Yan Xia’s face turned pale. She did not know how to deal with the young man in front of her.

Jiang Huai and Zhang Ying’s relationship was never a secret. He liked her in an open manner. As for Yan Xia, she was officially his wife. Other than the people in the company, no one else knew about this.

She had never paid attention to such news, so she never knew that in everyone’s eyes, she was actually just a wife in name only.

Yes, Jiang Huai didn’t love her.

She had been reminding herself of this sentence for three years, and it was only now that she clearly understood each word.

“Director? Director?”

Yan Xia snapped out of her reverie and massaged her aching temples. She walked around Zhang Rui and sat down at his desk.

“Go report first. I’ll consider this matter.”

Zhang Rui looked at Yan Xia and noticed that she was obviously unhappy. However, he did not know what he said wrong.

People who had just entered society had one thing in common. They were straightforward, bold, and had the aura of a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers.

Therefore, Zhang Rui didn’t think much about it. He shrugged and went out.
