Beijing and Hong Kong kiss

The morning glow of sunrise dyed the city skyline into colorful colors.

During rush hour, the buses are packed with people.

"Xiaoyou, your uncle's comrade's son also works in Jinggang City. He has a car and a house in Jinggang City."

"I mean you can meet him. I don't mean to force you to have a conversation. Even if it doesn't work out, at least you'll have more friends and more options."

On the phone, Lin You's mother Su Yu persuaded carefully.

In the car, most people were watching videos with their heads down, while a small number of people were chatting with their companions about the latest hot searches.

Only Lin You was holding the hanging ring with one hand and the mobile phone with the other, looking at the crowded traffic outside the window with empty eyes.

Apartment, company, apartment, just a straight line.

What seems like a numb, lonely and boring life to bystanders is a rare kind of ease for her.

She fled her previous city in the most embarrassing manner and came to Jinggang City alone.

At the age of 27, she is calm and has long passed the age of yearning for love.

"Xiaoyou? Are you listening?" Su Yu didn't get a response, so she called out softly on the phone.

Lin You: "Yes. I'll listen to you. When it's convenient for him, we'll meet."

Compared to rejection, it is easier for Su Yu to accept a bad meeting.

Today is a special day for KSH Group.

Hundreds of flower baskets were placed at the entrance of the building, and many reporters gathered in the lobby on the first floor.

“I heard that the new CEO of KSH Group is from the Shi family, but I don’t know which one it is.”

"Although KSH Group has already raised funds and gone public, given the Shi family's assets and status in Beijing-Hong Kong City, would they be willing to send their direct descendants to such an emerging group?"

"To take on the responsibility of running the Shi family as a commercial giant, we must cultivate a younger generation of leaders. I heard that the old man's choice this time is Shi Jingyuan."

"After what happened to the Shi family a few years ago, Shi Jingyuan has not come back. Will he really come back this time?"

"It's hard to say... we'll just have to wait and see."

When Lin You walked into the building, several reporters were exchanging information.

There were still three minutes left before she punched in, so she hurried past a few people and headed for the elevator.

The elevator door opened and I met two interns who had just joined the company this year.

"Sister Lin, good morning." The two of them smiled and greeted politely.

Lin You replied with a "hello" and then there was no further conversation.

After getting off the elevator and seeing Lin You walking away, the two interns started to discuss in a low voice.

"Sister Lin is so cold."

"I heard that she has always been like this. When she is at work, she doesn't say a word except about work. After work, she never participates in any activities."

"Ah... She graduated from a prestigious university, is pretty, and has work experience in the system. Shouldn't she be good at building connections?"

"Who knows? Maybe she just can't get along in the system because she doesn't fit in... Otherwise, why would she be willing to quit her stable job in the system to work in a company?"

Lin You turned the corner and realized that she had lost her work badge somewhere. She was about to go back to look for it when she heard two interns talking.

She stopped and leaned against the wall with a calm face. She waited until the two of them left before turning the corner.

Lin You didn’t find his work badge in the elevator, so he went back the way he came to look for it.

When she arrived at the lobby on the first floor, she saw dozens of reporters rushing forward with cameras in hand.

She was startled, a look of confusion flashing across her face.

"Xiao Lin, what are you doing here? Get out of the way."

Manager Hu, the department's top boss, rushed to Lin You and pulled her aside by her arm.

After the reporters rushed past Lin You, she looked up and saw the person who was the center of attention.

That was the first time Lin You met Shi Jingyuan.

With a tall figure, outstanding looks, noble and elegant appearance, and a well-tailored suit, he can instantly attract everyone's attention when standing in the crowd.

He is someone who does not belong to the same world as her.

The reporters surrounded Shi Jingyuan and kept asking him tricky questions they had prepared.

Shi Jingyuan was calm and composed from beginning to end. He had clear opinions on the questions he could answer, and he also used humor to deal with the questions he did not want to answer.

However, a small confrontation with the news media was enough to show this man's extraordinary ability.

"As expected of the Shi family's proud son, with this kind of bearing, the KSH Group has a promising future."

Manager Hu couldn't help but sigh, and then felt a sense of regret.

"It's a pity that we are in the logistics department and can't achieve any impressive results. Otherwise, if we met such a wise leader, it would be a good opportunity for promotion."

Lin You just smiled faintly and nodded without saying anything.

She doesn't talk much, so Manager Hu is used to it. He continued, "Xiao Lin, you have an excellent resume. Do you want to go to other departments to do something? Although I am very satisfied with your work, I am definitely not the kind of superior who hinders the development of subordinates."

"Thank you for your kindness, Manager Hu. I think the logistics department is great and I have no intention of changing departments."

Just because Lin You has no intention of changing departments doesn’t mean that others don’t have the same idea.

Manager Hu spoke magnanimously, but when someone really came to him to ask for a change of department, his face turned very unhappy.

Feng Yi, who joined the company at the same time as Lin You, is the niece of a certain director. She is beautiful and used to be a print model.

Feng Yi felt that the work in the logistics department was easy and there were no performance appraisal requirements, so she came to the elderly care department.

On Shi Jingyuan's first day in office, she asked to be transferred to the secretariat. Her purpose was self-evident.

"Our HR department is crazy busy today!"

"Can you imagine that I received more than a dozen transfer applications in just one morning? And they were all for transfers to the top-level administrative and secretarial departments!"

At lunch time, Chen Lingling sat down opposite Lin You with her plate in her hand, and started complaining as soon as she sat down.

Lin You calmly poured a glass of water and handed it over.

Chen Lingling took a big gulp and continued, "Have these women never seen a man? Don't they think that ordinary people like us can only dream of such a star in the sky? Aren't they afraid that if the wind blows hard, they will fall to pieces and die without a complete body!"

"Yeah." Lin You responded indifferently, expressing a rare opinion, "It's better to marry well than to work well. They have a chance, so it's understandable that they want to try."

"You are open-minded."

Chen Lingling is Lin You’s high school classmate. After Lin You joined the company, she reunited with her in the Human Resources Department. She is the only person in the company who has private interactions with Lin You.

Lin You smiled faintly in response.

Chen Lingling shook her head helplessly, "You are the most Buddhist person I have ever met! If you continue to be so selfless, I am really afraid that one day you will see through the mundane world and ascend to become an immortal!"

Lin You: "Uh... that day won't come."

Chen Lingling was very curious, "Oh? Tell me quickly, what is your lofty pursuit?"

Lin You put down his chopsticks and answered seriously: "Two million in three years, to buy a house in my hometown for retirement."

Chen Lingling: “…”

Well, it’s quite real.
