My whirlwind marriage partner is a wealthy CEO

Chapter 25: No marital relationship?

It was almost noon, but Zhu Ziqing was completely too preoccupied to eat.

Her hair was slightly disheveled, and her eyes showed signs of fatigue.

My fingers flew across the keyboard, my eyes were glued to the screen, as if the whole world had shrunk to just this proposal.

The laughter and chatter of her colleagues around her had no effect on her.

She was immersed in her work.

She hasn't even had a sip of water since morning, let alone lunch.

Her desk was piled high with documents and materials, and her computer screen was filled with dense text and data that kept flashing.

She would sometimes frown in thought, sometimes type quickly, and sometimes make marks on the document.

He was like a spinning top, never stopping for a moment.

Just then, the phone rang; it was Tan Haoyu calling.

Zhu Ziqing picked up her phone somewhat impatiently and said perfunctorily, "Hello, I'm busy with work. What's up?"

Tan Haoyu said on the other end of the phone, "It's already noon, remember to eat something, don't overwork yourself."

Zhu Ziqing casually replied, "Okay, I'll hang up now."

After saying that, he quickly hung up the phone and continued working.

In the afternoon, Zhu Ziqing felt a wave of fatigue wash over her.

At that moment, Lin Dan walked over carrying a steaming cup of coffee.

He placed it on her desk, smiled, and said, "You look so tired, have a cup of coffee to perk yourself up."

Zhu Ziqing looked at Lin Dan gratefully: "Thank you, Lin Dan, you're a real lifesaver."

After several hours of hard work, Zhu Ziqing finally completed the first draft of the proposal.

Although she knew that the first draft had many shortcomings, she had at least completed the task and could barely hand it in.

Zhu Ziqing checked the time and decided to leave the company early and head to Fuli Company.

She arrived at Liu Weiming's office, and Liu Weiming greeted her with a broad smile as soon as he saw her.

That enthusiastic attitude was completely different from the usual businesslike approach.

"Ms. Zhu, you've finally arrived! I've read your proposal, and it's excellent! I've decided that you'll be in charge of the MiHoYo project," Liu Weiming said enthusiastically.

Zhu Ziqing was flattered, but she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

She asked suspiciously, "Mr. Liu, why do you suddenly trust me so much? Could it be related to the Wan family?"

Liu Weiming was slightly taken aback, a subtle glint of something unusual flashing in his eyes, before he smiled and said, "Ms. Zhu, you're overthinking it. I entrusted this project to you because I value your talent and ability."

Zhu Ziqing's doubts did not dissipate.

She recalled her past entanglements with the Wan family and Liu Weiming's previously indifferent attitude towards her; this sudden change was too suspicious.

She couldn't help but wonder if there was some unspeakable secret hidden behind this.

Could it be that the Wan family is manipulating things behind the scenes, using Liu Weiming to set a trap for her?

Her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of unease flickered in her eyes.

But Liu Weiming's attitude made her unable to say anything more.

She silently told herself, "No matter what, I must do this project well and not let Mr. Liu down."

She couldn't help but recall some of her past experiences, those setbacks and difficulties that taught her to be strong and brave.

She took a deep breath, put aside her worries, and prepared to continue with the project.

As soon as Zhu Ziqing stepped out of Fuli Company, her phone rang. It was Li Siqi calling.

"Ziqing, come to my studio quickly, I have some good news to tell you!" Li Siqi said excitedly.

Curious, Zhu Ziqing rushed to Li Siqi's studio.

As soon as I entered, I saw Li Siqi standing there with a big smile on her face.

"Ziqing, I have some amazing news for you! Xiaodong has joined the Sunshine Group!" Li Siqi said excitedly.

Zhu Ziqing was also happy for her: "That's great, Siqi! This is really good news."

Li Siqi continued:

Do you know Sunshine Group? It's a globally renowned company with a significant presence in multiple sectors, including consumer goods, finance, investment, technology, and real estate.

I heard that its owner, Jack Qin, is very mysterious and rarely appears in public.

Some say he has an amazing business talent and built this huge business empire from scratch.

Some say he has powerful family backing him.

There are also rumors that he is extremely ruthless and decisive, a figure who strikes fear into the hearts of his opponents in the business world.

However, some say he is extremely generous to people or things he values.

Zhu Ziqing, however, dismissed the concerns, saying, "I'm not interested in these things; I'm only concerned with my work right now."

Li Siqi rolled her eyes at her: "You, all you ever think about is work. By the way, I'm planning to go to the US to be with Xiaodong for a while, so I'll leave the studio to you. Don't mess it up."

Zhu Ziqing smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of things at the studio for you. Just go and spend time with Xiaodong."

Zhu Ziqing and Li Siqi discussed their plans for the evening, and Zhu Ziqing decided to stay at Li Siqi's place that night.

The two felt they hadn't had barbecue in a long time, so they decided to go to a barbecue restaurant.

Upon arriving at the barbecue restaurant, I found it to be extremely popular, with a long queue outside.

The two had no choice but to wait in line at the entrance.

Just then, Zhu Ziqing's phone rang again; it was Tan Haoyu calling.

Zhu Ziqing glanced at Li Siqi, then answered the phone somewhat awkwardly: "Hello, Tan Haoyu, what's wrong?"

Tan Haoyu asked on the other end of the phone, "Where are you?"

Zhu Ziqing replied, "Siqi and I are eating out. We're queuing at a barbecue restaurant."

Tan Haoyu was silent for a moment, then said, "Oh, then you eat it."

Zhu Ziqing felt that the conversation was somewhat brief and awkward.

She thought for a moment and then said, "Tan Haoyu, thank you for everything you did for me before, such as dealing with Ma Dongmei's matter."

After hearing this, Tan Haoyu fell into a long silence on the other end of the phone, with only the sound of soft breathing audible.

Zhu Ziqing waited for his response, but all she got was a busy signal; Tan Haoyu had hung up the phone immediately.

Zhu Ziqing looked at her phone, feeling somewhat dissatisfied: "How can this person be like this? They have no manners at all."

She didn't understand why Tan Haoyu suddenly fell silent and hung up the phone, and a sense of doubt and disappointment welled up in her heart.

……

The barbecue restaurant was filled with the enticing aroma of meat.

Li Siqi and Zhu Ziqing sat in a corner waiting for their meal.

While flipping through the menu, Li Siqi casually remarked, "Ziqing, I just watched you and Tan Haoyu on the phone. Why did your conversation sound so awkward? What kind of married couple talks like that?"

Zhu Ziqing paused slightly, put down her water glass, and said, "We're doing fine, it's just that he's quite busy, and I don't want to disturb his work."

Li Siqi raised an eyebrow, a hint of inquiry in her eyes: "Don't try to fool me. I think you two probably haven't even consummated your marriage, have you?"
