She wanted to expand Chengxing’s influence on them through cooperation, bringing benefits to herself while also allowing them to have a more flexible interpretation of the words reasonable, legal, and compliant, so that what Xie Zhi wanted to achieve could be solved more foolproof.
With a plan in mind, Fang Xianxing put the information aside and took her phone in her hand, casually rotating it a few times.
At eight o’clock in the evening, Fang Xianxing finished her dinner and her phone lit up.
Xie Zhi: “Director Fang, good night.”
Fang Xianxing was amused.
Good night at eight o’clock?
Fang Xianxing waited a while longer, and sure enough, Xie Zhi sent another message: “Director Fang, I didn’t secretly change my phone wallpaper.” It was followed by a screenshot.
In the screenshot, she was tucked under a few everyday apps, her lips pulled flat without a smile, but her eyes carried a hint of a smile, the corners of her eyes creating a gentle but distant atmosphere.
The photo was quite good, and even better being on Xie Zhi’s phone.
“Do you want me to praise you?” Fang Xianxing curved her lips in a smile, “Well done, I praise you.”
Seeing the reply, Xie Zhi threw his phone heavily on the bed, glaring at it, turning in circles on the spot in anger.
He didn’t believe she didn’t know. In the afternoon, he sent a single sentence asking if she was busy, and she reacted to it. Now that he had made it so obvious…
Fang Xianxing knew, but so what? Xie Zhi himself hadn’t yet assumed the role of her future husband, treating her as a tool. She had to change his thinking.
After half a day with no response, Fang Xianxing suspected that she had angered him. She slowly picked up her phone and finally gave a clear path: “Your initiative, the purpose is too obvious, the experience is not good.”
Xie Zhi angrily picked up his phone, stared at it for more than a minute, took several deep breaths, and only then sent it back fiercely.
Fang Xianxing raised an eyebrow.
Xie Zhi sent a good night dynamic emoticon, a cute personified little puppy wearing a little floral dress, waving its hand at her, with the words “Good night, mua” flashing in the upper right corner.
Fang Xianxing: ……
Was it that hard to please her? An emoticon, most likely system default. Heh, did she look like someone who lacked an emoticon?
But the longer she looked at it, for some reason, that little puppy slowly turned into a cartoon version of Xie Zhi, wearing a little floral dress, drooping two dog ears, pouting, and waving at her with a forced smile.
The “Good night, mua” in the upper right corner was especially eye-catching.
Fang Xianxing buried her head in the sofa cushion, unable to control her laughter.
Okay, the experience was still pretty good.
She had even pushed Xie Zhi to use emoticons.
Fang Xianxing restrained the smile at the corner of her lips, tucking it into her eyes, and sent a message to Xie Zhi, simply explaining the information she had found out on her side and her plans.
Seeing that Fang Xianxing had finally sent over the progress of the matter, Xie Zhi breathed a sigh of relief. He had no interest in supervising, he just wanted to confirm whether Fang Xianxing had forgotten, whether she would really be willing to help him.
“Thank you.” Seeing Fang Xianxing’s reassurance, Xie Zhi replied with two words. After a moment’s thought, he opened the emoticon list again, found the same emoticon and sent it over. This time, the words “Thank you” were floating in the upper right corner.
After sending, he exited the page, not wanting to look at it anymore.
Emoticons have a strong sense of immersion when others see them, and also when sending them yourself.
He wasn’t that silly.
As soon as he jumped out of the page, the photo that Fang Xianxing had forced him to set as his wallpaper was exposed, forcefully occupying the entire screen.
Xie Zhi was annoyed. He opened the album, preparing to change the photo back. After going back and forth several times, he finally gave up.
“Do I really have to marry her?” Xie Zhi lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, asking himself.

“Xie Zhi, you have a girlfriend?”
During lunch break, Xie Zhi was eating in the unit cafeteria. Not long after he sat down, his always nosy colleague Shi Ling sat down next to him, winking and glancing at Xie Zhi’s phone that suddenly lit up beside him.
Xie Zhi suppressed the panic that suddenly rose in his heart and pretended to be calm as he picked up his phone, seeing that Fang Xianxing had just sent a bored message asking “Have you eaten, what did you eat”.
Infuriating.
“Mm.” Although angry, he still responded to Shi Ling’s question.
These past few days, the two of them had been communicating via WeChat. Most of the time, he was racking his brains, using emoticons to act cute and ask about progress, while Fang Xianxing would slowly force him to get anxious before telling him, often making him jump with anger in his own room.
Seeing that she was indeed taking steps towards the goal he wanted, Xie Zhi endured it.

Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Synopsis:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
He even had his eyes on another woman.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
Su Mu expressed her disdain.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
She also wanted to embrace Xie Yi, who had silently stayed by her side in her previous life and committed suicide by taking poison after her death.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
—–
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
