Her time at the company impressed both her and Liang Xinhe.
I always thought Liang Shi was a spoiled, dissolute playboy, but I never expected that she could use her professional knowledge to leave Editor-in-Chief Sun speechless.
Unlike Liang Xinhe, Xu Qingzhu didn't have a biased view of Liang Shi.
In the four months since she married Liang Shi, she had seen him at his worst, so she did not think he had turned over a new leaf.
But no matter how much more she analyzed, she couldn't figure it out.
Moreover, Liang Shi is indeed a very good person now.
He's a good prospect – a potential business partner or roommate.
Liang Shi, who had gone downstairs, was unaware that he had revealed such a huge flaw.
When she came downstairs, the living room lights were still on, and Xu Qingya was sitting on the sofa playing games, not even hearing her come downstairs.
It wasn't until Liang Shi suddenly appeared in front of her and glanced at the game she was playing that Xu Qingya realized what was happening, and she was so startled that she jumped.
"My goodness, Sister Liang, how come you walk so quietly?" Xu Qingya said, "You scared me."
"You're too engrossed in your game." Liang Shi went to the kitchen, found the cabinet Xu Qingzhu had mentioned, and took out some milk. "Why aren't you asleep so late? Aren't you going to school tomorrow?"
"It's precisely because school starts tomorrow that I'm going to let loose and have fun. Otherwise, how will I be able to play when I'm overwhelmed by mountains of homework?" Xu Qingya said, stretching. "Is my sister asleep?"
"Not yet." Liang Shi asked, "Would you like some milk? I'll heat up a cup for you."
"I've already had my drink," Xu Qingya said. "I was going to heat up two cups for you and bring them up, but I was afraid of disturbing your time together, so I just enjoyed it by myself."
Liang Shi: "..."
"What time are you going to school tomorrow?" Liang Shi changed the subject, which might have gone astray.
Xu Qingya said, "Ten o'clock in the morning."
"Study hard after you get there," Liang Shi instructed her. "Don't play games all the time, and don't fall in love too early."
Xu Qingya shrugged indifferently, "I've always done well in my studies, and I don't play games or date at school."
Liang Shi: "?"
"Don't lie to me," Liang Shi said. "If I find out you're dating someone, I'll tell your sister."
Xu Qingya pouted, "Whatever."
Liang Shi poured out the milk, put it in the microwave to heat, and microwaved it for three minutes.
Xu Qingya stood there, as if she still had something to say.
Just as she was about to ask, Xu Qingya turned around and ran back to her room. Not long after, she ran back with a book in her hand, its cover brightly colored.
Xu Qingya handed her the book. "Here you go."
Liang Shi asked in confusion, "What?"
The cover prominently proclaims: "Sweet and Pampered Daily Life with the Female CEO".
Liang Shi: "...?"
"This is a new book I just discovered, and I've only read half of it," Xu Qingya said. "I have to go to school tomorrow, so I'm reluctantly giving it up for you to read."
Liang Shi was about to politely decline when Xu Qingya said, "This plot is fantastic, it's so addictive! Don't be put off by its cheesy title. Just keep going until the third chapter, and I guarantee you won't be able to stop, and..."
Xu Qingya quietly leaned closer and said, "The female CEO in this book has a personality just like my sister's. I even have the illusion that my sister wrote this book."
Liang Shi: "..."
She exclaimed in surprise, "You're actually imagining yourself dating your sister? That's..."
"What?" Xu Qingya rolled her eyes. "I'm not crazy. I'm projecting myself onto the female CEO's younger sister, the kind of person who watches and ships couples."
Liang Shi: "..."
That's more like it.
However, Liang Shi still didn't want it. Xu Qingzhu was speechless enough when she saw that novel about a proud and sweet wife last time.
For the next two days, Xu Qingzhu kept bringing up that book, asking her if she liked young women's novels.
It had a slightly sarcastic or unsettling feel to it.
But Xu Qingya said firmly, "You must read this book. It's the key to winning your wife's heart."
Liang Shi: "..."
The love idiot suddenly believed Xu Qingya's words.
I even thought that I might be able to win over Xu Qingzhu with this book.
Wouldn't it be great if she could complete the task within three months?
In that instant, Liang Shi even figured out what kind of movies he would act in after regaining his original body in the entertainment industry.
They should act in time-travel dramas!
She's sure to become an overnight sensation.

Liang Shi secretly placed the book Xu Qingya had given him in the study, then took two glasses of milk upstairs.
Xu Qingzhu had just finished finishing her proposal and took off her glasses to massage her eyes.
She didn't forget to ask, "Is Ya Ya asleep?"
Liang Shi hesitated for two seconds, considering whether to cover for Xu Qingya or tell the truth, and his mind involuntarily answered: "Not yet."
Xu Qingzhu: "..."
"It's almost midnight." Xu Qingzhu got up and was about to leave. "I have school tomorrow, I'm going..."
Before she could finish speaking, Liang Shi stopped her, saying, "I have already severely criticized her, and she has realized her mistake. She has gone back to her room to sleep. It wouldn't be good if you went downstairs and woke her up again."
Xu Qingzhu was skeptical. "Really?"
Liang Shi: "..."
She simply transferred 10,000 yuan to Xu Qingya as pocket money and coaxed her back to her room to sleep.
But in any case, the goal was achieved.
So this time she nodded firmly, "Of course! Would I do something that's outwardly compliant but inwardly contradictory?"
Xu Qingzhu: "Yes."
Liang Shi: "..."
What about trust between people?
However, although Xu Qingzhu said this, she did not actually go downstairs to look.
She placed the laptop on the bedside table, sat on the bed holding a cup of hot milk, glanced at the projector, and asked, "Is this a movie from H country?"
"Hmm," Liang Shi said, "Judging from the color tone, it looks like an old movie."
Xu Qingzhu suddenly fell silent, then asked, "Was it the one you watched that night?"
Liang Shi: "...How is that possible?!"
Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, her voice suddenly rose, "I watched a domestic film that day, and a proper one at that."
"I didn't say anything inappropriate," Xu Qingzhu chuckled. "Why are you so agitated?"
Liang Shi: "..."
I got hooked again.
hateful.
"First of all, let me state that the DVDs were all bought by the housekeeper, and I haven't watched them myself," Liang Shi said. "If there's anything in the film, please view it with an artistic eye."
Xu Qingzhu nodded perfunctorily, "Oh."
She took a sip of milk, which was a little hot, and then sipped it gently. She said to Liang Shi, "Let's begin."
Liang Shi opened it.
The scene on the projection began to change, the background music started playing, and with the warm yellow lighting, it created a very cozy atmosphere.
Liang Shi said, "It's a suspense film. If you get scared, we'll turn it off later."
Xu Qingzhu nodded, "Okay."
After a while, she suddenly asked, "What was the name of the movie you watched the other day?"
Liang Shi shook his head, "I forgot, let me find the playback history for you."
She opened the video app, pulled up the video, and saw that the title was "Let's Go to the Sea in Summer".
“An art film,” Xu Qingzhu said. “That’s definitely a serious movie.”
Liang Shi: "..."
How could she explain herself in a way that would convince Xu Qingzhu that she was a decent person?
Xu Qingzhu looked at the projection and suddenly said quietly, "This seems to be an art film as well."
"A suspense film," Liang Shi said decisively. "The label says so."
Xu Qingzhu: "Okay."
Neither of them spoke after that; they just watched quietly.
The film has a dark and somber tone, and some of the camera work is quite confusing.
However, that's how suspense films are; they usually only make things clear at the very end.
If the audience still doesn't understand it by the end, then it's a science fiction film.
Or it could be a failed suspense film.
At first, all the segments were normal, with the images flashing by and the scenes constantly changing.
But where does it start to go wrong?
It seems that from the moment the maid was examining the young lady's teeth, there was an air of ambiguity about everything.
Liang Shi waited for the milk to warm up, then drank it all in two gulps without any reaction.
