Beijing and Hong Kong kiss

The continuous heavy rains made the sky over the entire city gray.

When Lin You received Su Yu's call, she was restocking the shared umbrella stand in the lobby on the first floor.

"On the man's side, your cousin has already made an appointment, and the time is set for tonight."

"The man heard that you work at Mo'an Building, and he even booked a nearby restaurant. He said it's just one street behind the building, and you can walk there in ten minutes."

Lin You was stunned, "So urgent?"

"There's no rush. It's been two weeks since we agreed to meet, and he finally had time to meet."

As soon as Su Yu opened her mouth, she began to chatter: "I heard from your uncle that the man is very ambitious. He has earned a fortune at a young age. He also has a good temper and has never quarreled with anyone."

Lin You listened quietly, but his hands did not stop moving. He picked up the umbrella and placed it on the empty grid.

After replenishing the goods, she walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and continued to make a phone call.

"Okay, got it. I'll have a good chat with him."

Su Yu seemed not to believe her. "Don't say nice things and then turn around and give people a cold look. Women go downhill after they are thirty. You still have choices now, but when you are older..."

Lin You's ears are already numb from hearing these same old cliches.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling window, a black sedan stopped and the assistant in the passenger seat got out, walked around to the back seat and opened the door.

A tall figure stepped out, tall and handsome, elegant and calm, his outstanding bearing dispelled a little bit of the gloom in the weather.

The woman in the red miniskirt appeared out of nowhere and threw herself into his arms.

Shi Jingyuan showed an expression of disgust and shock on his face.

Through the glass, Lin You couldn't hear what they were saying, he only saw Shi Jingyuan's assistant and driver come forward and pull the woman away.

The woman was crying and heartbroken, but Shi Jingyuan looked indifferent and prepared to leave.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Lin You who was on the phone.

They looked into each other's eyes through the French window.

Lin You had an indifferent expression and calmly looked away.

There was neither the excitement of watching a good show, nor the embarrassment of being discovered, nor the... shyness of being at a loss.

It was the first time that Shi Jingyuan saw a woman with such a calm look after returning home two weeks ago.

However, this little surprise did not cause any ripples in his life. He quickly looked away and walked towards the exclusive elevator.

When I got off work, today's heavy rain arrived as expected.

"Does this rain have a grudge against us workers? It starts raining at a certain time every day when we get off work!"

"It's hard to get a taxi when it rains. If the company didn't prohibit people from staying there, I wouldn't want to go back and just stay at the company for one night!"

Colleagues packed up and left work while complaining.

A colleague called out to Lin You, "Sister Lin, you also live in Shangcheng Apartment, right? How about we carpool?"

Lin You walked out with an umbrella, "No, I'm going out to eat tonight."

Everyone knows that she rarely socializes with others. After hearing her say that, the curious little girl started making jokes.

"Sister Lin, are you still going to go on a date in such heavy rain? What kind of male guest is so charming?"

Young girls who have just graduated still have a longing for love on their faces, so they are most interested in things between men and women.

Lin You didn't mind her rashness and said casually, "It's not a date, just a blind date."

Perhaps it was because her answer was so unexpected that everyone was stunned for a moment before they reacted.

The little girl advocates free love. For her, blind dates are a sign of surrendering to life, so she immediately lost interest.

Everyone has their own aspirations. Lin You didn't say anything. He opened his umbrella and walked into the rain.

Because of the heavy rain, there were few pedestrians on the street, but there were many vehicles, all stuck at the traffic lights and unable to move.

Assistant He was sitting in the passenger seat. He took a look at the road conditions and said to the person behind him, "Boss Shi, the road ahead is completely blocked. It's only 500 meters from here to the restaurant. How about we walk over there?"

Shi Jingyuan looked at his watch irritably, "Okay. Take the things in the trunk with you."

Assistant He nodded, got out of the car first, opened the long umbrella provided in the car, and then went to open the door for Shi Jingyuan.

Shi Jingyuan got out of the car and naturally took the umbrella from Assistant He.

However, he held the umbrella and did not move a step, watching coldly as Assistant He opened the trunk in the rain and picked up a large brocade box with both hands.

What Lin You saw was Shi Jingyuan walking in front alone with an umbrella, while Assistant He followed behind him in the rain, holding the brocade box.

She had already witnessed the cold nature of capitalists.

She thought she had adapted to this class difference by now.

But, in the end, I couldn't help but walk forward quickly.

Assistant He, who was soaked all over, was fully focused on the road. It was not until an umbrella appeared above his head to shield him from the wind and rain that he realized that a familiar-looking woman had appeared beside him.

"Let's go together."

Lin You spoke softly and said only one simple sentence.

Assistant He was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Thank you!"

Assistant He has a cheerful personality. As they walked, he said, "Miss, you are such a nice person."

Miss?

Lin You was stunned, not quite used to this title, "I'm not young, I'm twenty-seven."

"Twenty-seven is not eighty-seven, it just means young lady. Besides, you look so young, I thought you were underage!" Assistant He joked.

"Uh...thank you." Lin You raised the corner of his mouth slightly.

Assistant He paused and asked again, "Miss, I think you look familiar. You are also an employee of KSH, right?"

Lin You nodded, "Yes. Logistics Department, Lin You."

"Indeed, it is. Hello, I am He Xuan from the Administration Department." He Xuan leaned forward again and said, "This is my boss, and also your boss, Mr. Shi, you know that, right?"

Shi Jingyuan, who was walking in front, stopped and looked back at the two people who were holding the same umbrella.

Lin You noticed the gaze from the front and paused for a moment before remembering to answer He Xuan's question.

Lin You: “Uh…I know.”

The tone was very light.

Shi Jingyuan then withdrew his gaze.

*

It was only a few hundred meters away and we arrived there quickly.

The middle-aged man with a big smile on his face greeted Shi Jingyuan at the door in advance. "Mr. Shi is so kind to me. I, Old Liu, have earned enough face in front of this group of friends today. It's windy and rainy, Mr. Shi, I hope you didn't get wet."

"This place is very close to the company. Mr. Liu picked a good place. It's only a few steps away and we won't get wet in the rain." Shi Jingyuan greeted.

Lin You, who had just reached the door, paused and glanced at He Xuan, who was soaking wet beside him.

It's just that it never rained.

He Xuan still had a smile on his face, seemingly not caring at all that he was soaked. He handed the brocade box in his arms to the restaurant staff.

Shi Jingyuan nodded to He Xuan from a distance, and then entered the restaurant's private room under the guidance of General Manager Liu.

There was a flash of sarcasm in Lin You's eyes.

She put away her umbrella, took out a tissue from her bag and handed it to He Xuan.

"Just wipe it."

He Xuan took the tissue and said, "Thank you, Sister Lin."

Lin You hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help asking, "Are you feeling wronged?"

He Xuan was a meticulous person and immediately understood what she meant.

"You think Shi always disrespects me?"

Then he shook his head again. "In fact, I didn't mean that. It's just that in the minds of people like them who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, things have priorities and people are divided into different classes. In an occasion like today, I can get wet in the rain, but he can't be embarrassed at all."

"In Shi Zong's opinion, different things and different people have different values."

Lin You understood and asked, "So, being the chief assistant, the salary is very high?"

"The monthly salary is 50,000. For a fresh graduate like me, it's simply a sky-high price."

He Xuan shrugged. "To some extent, Mr. Shi is a good boss. His affirmation of my value is reflected in my salary slip. So let alone getting wet in the rain, even if I get wet by knives, I don't care."

How is this different from doing whatever you want as long as you pay?

Lin You didn't comment, but still said to him, "Come on!"
