"You... must have seen it wrong?"
"Really?"

Ji Sang shifted her gaze away, nodded, and turned to walk into the elevator.
But Song Xiu stood in place, watching Ji Sang's flustered footsteps, and shook his head with a smile.
Sister Ji really can't lie.
So, was that really Dr. Fu in the car just now? What is their relationship?
A fleeting, unnameable emotion crossed Song Xiu's eyes. His lips mechanically curled up a bit before he hurriedly followed her, pulling out the proposal he had written overnight.
The two weren't particularly early, and most of their colleagues had seen them discussing seemingly without noticing anyone else.
Song Xiu was a celebrity in the office, a young, handsome, and capable fresh face, while Ji Sang had also become a 'celebrity' at the office since yesterday, a high-profile special-hire photographer.
Thus, right after the two of them entered the office, the outside started bustling with conversation.
"Did you see that? She pretended not to notice us at all, didn't even greet us. She really thinks she's something special just because she's specially hired huh."
The speaker was the studio's previously sole female photographer, but now, she was one of two.
"Look at how she looks, hooking up Xiao Song as soon as she arrived, who knows how she got those awards, all high and mighty."
"Right, right, I think so too, what's her name?"
"Ji Sang."
"Not very famous, I don't even know the name."
After saying this, a few of the women scoffed coldly.
And just as a yawning man was entering the office, he heard the name and halted his steps.
"What did you say?"
The sudden reaction startled everyone, and Zheng Xia, who had spoken of Ji Sang's false airs, rolled her eyes when she saw who it was,
"Zhang Quan, what's gotten into you! You never come in this early usually."
Zhang Quan touched his nose and chuckled awkwardly.
"Sorry, what's the name of that new special hire you mentioned?"
"Ji Sang."
Zheng Xia, scared and disdainful, begrudgingly spat out those two words. Seeing Zhang Quan's dazed face, another woman asked,
"What's wrong, Brother Quan, do you know her?"
Zhang Quan suddenly laughed, familiar indeed! That was the goddess he had chased unsuccessfully for three years. He never expected that one day they would become colleagues!
The laugh was a bit uncontrollable, his mouth couldn't close properly, and the several women watched him in horror. Zhang Quan didn't care, and just marched forward although he didn't get far before retreating.
"Don't speak ill of her, okay?"
As the group leader of planning, Zhang Quan had that bit of authority. Without waiting for the women's surprised reactions, he left the office.
He had to go find his goddess!
Meanwhile, after Ji Sang finished revising Song Xiu's proposal, she went straight to Lu Ming's office.
Although the station was a top player locally and even provincially, they had to be cautious in dealing with City First Hospital. After all, they had the capital to collaborate with the national station.
Therefore, this time, they were continuously meticulous about the content.
After all, they needed to present a proposal that City First Hospital would be satisfied with.
The discussion lasted until noon, stretching over three hours, but no one showed tiredness on their faces; Lu Ming even had a smile.
And Song Xiu naturally did too.
"Let's go eat at the restaurant across the street for lunch, my treat."
Lu Ming patted Song Xiu's shoulder affirmatively, and as his hand moved habitually towards the person next to him, Ji Sang stepped aside, leaving his hand hanging in midair.
Lu Ming: ....
Song Xiu: ....
Ji Sang also sensed the awkwardness in the air, pursed her lips, and looked up at Lu Ming. Before she could speak, Lu Ming was already voicing out,
"Let's go."
He waved his hand nonchalantly in the air.
As for Ji Sang's temperament, he probably understood. It wasn't a big deal that needed fussing.
....
While eating, Lu Ming was called away by a phone, and, coincidentally, just as they were finishing, Song Xiu also received a call. His expression changed instantly, and he quickly got up to go out.
Eventually, only Ji Sang was left alone in the private room.
Ji Sang felt even more comfortable, happily finishing her meal alone, and only when she went to the front desk to pay the bill did she find out that Lu Ming had already settled it.
She hadn't expected her first pre-work arrangements after joining the TV station to go so smoothly, sweeping away the morning's irritations; she took out her phone intending to share with Su Ge.
But just as she was looking down, she suddenly bumped into someone's chest, and her phone dropped to the ground with a crack, the screen shattered.
Ji Sang, holding her forehead, took a step back,
"Sorry."
She bent down to pick up her phone, which was completely black-screened now.
"Goddess!"
Zhang Quan paused in rubbing his chest when he heard Ji Sang's voice, his deeply furrowed brows relaxing, and with trembling hands, he attempted to help Ji Sang, but she brushed him off.
"Goddess, don't you recognize me?"
Ji Sang stood up, examining the evidently excited man in front of her, and frowned slightly,
"Who are you?"
"Me? Zhang Quan!"
As if afraid Ji Sang wouldn't remember, Zhang Quan gestured wildly with his hands.
"The same Zhang Quan who declared his love for you under the dormitory with candles back in school!"
Ji Sang: ....
A snort of laughter—people around them couldn't hold back laughing outright after hearing this, especially a purple-haired man who laughed even harder.
"Oh."
Ji Sang nodded slightly, side-stepping and walking straight past Zhang Quan.
Zhang Quan: ....
He slapped his forehead abruptly.
"Why mention that, of all things?"
He hurriedly followed her out.
This scene made the purple-haired man laugh so hard that he clutched his stomach, nearly dropping his phone.
"What exactly happened?"
A deep and cold voice came from the phone; the purple-haired man finally caught his breath.
"Brother Si, you wouldn't believe the hilarious thing that just happened, really, I've never seen such a foolish man in my life, hahaha, and that woman was absolutely cool! I think her walking out like that was super suave!"
Having just finished a consultation, Fu Yisi pinched the bridge of his nose,
"You called just to tell me this?"
"Brother Si, it's really funny! Had I known it'd be this entertaining back home, I would've returned earlier."
"Yuxuan."
The man's voice carried a hint of displeasure, and Yuxuan immediately stopped laughing, knowing that this irritation from his brother Si was a prelude to ending the call.
"Cough, Brother Si, let's gather tonight, it's been half a year since we met. I've just come back to the country."
Yuxuan theatrically sniffed, as if he was about to cry right there,
"No time."
After saying that, the man hung up the phone.
Yuxuan: ....
When is Brother Si going to fix that temper of his?
