After returning to the company’s floor, Ye Fei took advantage of the fact that the employees hadn’t all arrived yet and called Situ Ying into the office that Cheng Hui had vacated.
He was still quite curious about this older girl, especially since Cheng Hui had implied that she was very loyal to the Ye family.
Since there was also Xu Weier in the office besides Ye Fei, Situ Ying felt a bit nervous when Ye Fei called her in, but she wasn’t scared.
Seeing her tension, Ye Fei smiled gently, gestured for her to sit down, and said, "Miss Situ, there’s no need to be nervous. I’ll be coming here often from now on, so we’re colleagues now."
Situ Ying nodded slightly and sat down next to Xu Weier, wondering why Ye Fei had called her in.
"I heard from Manager Cheng that you came to Lingyun straight after graduation and never considered leaving despite the company’s struggles. I’m curious why that is," Ye Fei asked with a smile, quickly adding, "Of course, this is just my personal curiosity. If you’d rather not talk about it, just forget I asked."
Ye Fei’s kindness eased Situ Ying’s tension, and she smiled in response.
"There’s no harm in telling you. When I was young, my family went through a major crisis. If it weren’t for Grandpa Ye’s help, my family of three might not be here anymore. Since then, I decided to dedicate my life to the Ye family, which is why I joined Lingyun Film right after graduation."
Ye Fei was surprised to hear this. It seemed that his grandfather’s good deed had inadvertently brought him such a talented screenwriter. However, he wasn’t the type to expect repayment for kindness, so he said with a smile, "Actually, Miss Situ, you don’t have to feel that way. I’m sure even my grandfather didn’t expect any repayment."
"I know," Situ Ying replied. "Even if it weren’t for gratitude, I really like this company. The people here are great. Although they may seem a bit lazy and even run off to do other things during work hours, it’s because of the company’s situation. If the company does well, they’ll definitely work hard."
Ye Fei thought to himself that Situ Ying seemed to lack social experience; otherwise, she wouldn’t speak so candidly about the company’s shortcomings in front of him.
However, he wasn’t annoyed. He smiled and said, "That’s a mistake from our headquarters, but Miss Situ, you can rest assured that this won’t happen again. I believe that with our joint efforts, the company will definitely grow stronger."
"Sure, I believe you," Situ Ying replied without hesitation. "Because I see confidence and determination in your eyes."
"Situ Ying, I heard your screenplays are amazing. Can I take a look?" Xu Weier suddenly asked, having taken Cheng Hui’s words to heart and being curious whether this seemingly shy Situ Ying was really that talented.
Hearing Xu Weier’s question, Situ Ying turned her attention to her.
This was the first time she had really noticed Xu Weier, and her eyes, hidden behind thick lenses, lit up. She nodded eagerly and said, "Sure, come to my office, and I’ll show you."
"Okay!"
Xu Weier agreed, and without asking Ye Fei’s opinion, the two of them left his office, leaving Ye Fei somewhat amused and helpless.
One of them clearly didn’t care about formalities, while the other didn’t seem to regard him as the president at all.
Recalling the look in Situ Ying’s eyes when she looked at Xu Weier, he felt a shiver down his spine.
Could it be that Situ Ying was into that sort of thing?
Around two in the afternoon, all the employees had gathered in the conference room under Cheng Hui’s lead, waiting for Ye Fei.
As Cheng Hui had said, they all placed great importance on the company’s future and were very excited to see that Ye Fei seemed to have plans to expand the business.
After receiving Cheng Hui’s notification that the employees had arrived, Ye Fei left his office and headed toward the accounting room. He hadn’t taken a few steps when he ran into the two girls. One was Xu Weier, and the other left Ye Fei stunned.
Was this woman really the same Situ Ying from just now?
Although her appearance was identical, the change was astonishing.
Situ Ying had taken off her glasses, and the transformation was due to her eyes, which had been hidden behind the thick lenses.
What kind of eyes were these?
Ye Fei couldn’t help but marvel inwardly.
Although he didn’t know how to describe Situ Ying’s beautiful eyes, he knew that with just these eyes, the otherwise plain-looking Situ Ying instantly possessed a charm comparable to Xu Weier’s. Her originally ordinary features seemed a hundred times more beautiful under the radiance of these eyes.
Seeing Ye Fei’s stunned expression, Xu Weier couldn’t help but feel extremely proud and said with a smile, "Hehe, speechless, aren’t you? Are you mesmerized by Sister Ying?"
She completely forgot that she had the same reaction when she first saw Situ Ying without her glasses.
"Ahem, ahem." Ye Fei quickly coughed to cover his embarrassment and said, "Just now it was Sister Situ Ying, and now it’s Sister Ying. Your way of addressing people changes pretty fast, doesn’t it?"
"So what? I feel like it," Xu Weier pouted and added triumphantly, "You don’t know yet, do you? Sister Ying’s screenplay is truly amazing, and she even said I’m perfectly suited to be the lead in her script!"

Ye Fei felt a chill run through him. Could it be that Situ Ying was like those unscrupulous directors who used such tactics to deceive innocent girls aspiring to be stars? But she didn’t seem like that kind of person at all. He couldn’t help but look at Situ Ying.
"My screenplay is about a fairy, and both in appearance and character, she is perfectly suited for the role," Situ Ying explained, her usual quiet demeanor replaced by enthusiasm as she spoke about her specialty.
"Especially after talking with her just now, I almost feel like the script was written specifically for her. If she were to act in it, she wouldn’t even need to act; just being herself would perfectly capture all the characteristics of the character."
Ye Fei realized he had misunderstood. Situ Ying was not that kind of person at all. Her interest in Xu Weier was simply because she had found the perfect person to play the lead in her script.
After hearing Xu Weier’s praise, Ye Fei also became curious about Situ Ying’s screenplay and said, "Let’s go to the meeting first, and then I’ll take a look at your script."
Situ Ying nodded in agreement, while Xu Weier excitedly said, "Sister Ying has other screenplays too, and I want to see them all!"
By the time the three of them arrived at the accounting room, all the employees had already taken their seats according to their positions.
Upon seeing Situ Ying, there was a commotion among the employees.
Having worked with her for years, they had never seen her without glasses.
Some of the younger employees couldn’t help but regret not seizing the opportunity earlier, knowing that with the support of the Ye family, Situ Ying was about to soar to new heights. The number of people who would want to pursue her would probably exceed the capacity of the company.
Situ Ying, however, felt a bit embarrassed under her colleagues’ gazes. Earlier, she had simply taken off her glasses to rub her eyes because they felt tired while she was organizing her scripts.
Xu Weier had seen her and insisted that she should never wear glasses again, suggesting that she get contact lenses if she was nearsighted.
At the time, Situ Ying hadn’t thought much of it and naturally agreed with Xu Weier, whom she felt a strong connection with. But now, she was starting to regret it.
