Winter Blazing Wild

The club manager didn't understand what he was saying and was immersed in his own anxiety and worry.

"Not being able to compete now not only means financial losses, but several brands are treating this as a scandal. Every day when I open my eyes, I have to worry about receiving a termination letter. Do you understand my pain? I'm not asking you to share my burden, but can you please be a little understanding?"

The more he spoke, the sadder he became. The manager covered his heart with his hands, looking heartbroken.

Zhou Shenye picked up the lighter that he had just placed on the table and threw it over, "Stop pretending!"

"I'm not pretending!" The manager stood up straight. "I'm really anxious right now. While we can deal with those who interfere internally, we can't control external sponsors. Someone like Boss Shen, who pulled out his investment without warning, caught us off guard. You've worked so hard for so many years to achieve this, and it's such a waste to lose it over such a trivial matter."

Zhou Shenye knew the manager's good intentions.

He lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "After working so hard for so many years, I actually want to take a break."

The manager was so exhausted that his saliva got stuck in his throat. "What do you mean? Don't scare me!"

Zhou Shenye smiled lightly. Although the heaviness in his eyes was unbearable, his tone was calm and indifferent. "If I retire now and get married and have children, it seems to be a good choice."

"Are you crazy?" the manager jumped up. "You're only 21! It's the prime age for a racing driver. There are so many people eyeing this position, wanting to surpass you. You want to retire? And get married and have kids? You must have a fever and your brain is in trouble!"

His disappointment was mixed with a hint of worry.

Zhou Shenye has always been known as a terrifying madman on the racing track, a man who would not retreat or look back even if he died on the track. Why did he suddenly say such negative words? Did something happen that he was not aware of?

The manager calmed down and wanted to ask carefully.

Zhou Shenye had no intention of explaining. All his surging emotions were buried under his calm expression, making it difficult to understand.

Was that rather scary thing he just said a joke or was it true?

If the manager doesn't get an answer, he'll probably lose sleep for days.

Not to mention that Zhou Shenye is his cash cow, just the fact that he has witnessed him rise to the top step by step over the years and knows how much pain he has experienced, just thinking about these things, the manager can't bear to see him stop here.

I have to climb higher to justify the injuries I'm getting.

However, Zhou Shenye knew very well what he wanted.

In the twenty years of his solitude, what he longed for most was the warmth of home. From the orphanage to being adopted, he had always been separated from "home" by an insurmountable gap, until now -

The appearance of Yu Tang made him feel that he had finally touched the beautiful life that had appeared in his dreams thousands and tens of thousands of times. He didn't want to let go and was reluctant to let go.

"You in the end..."

The manager spoke again, but was interrupted by Zhou Shenye after saying just three words.

He picked up his phone, unlocked it with his fingerprint, and only after the screen lit up did he see Yu Tang's message.

I was busy replying to Yu Tang's message and didn't have any extra ears to listen to what the manager said.

He didn't look up until he finished replying, and raised his chin towards the manager, "Wait a moment, the club's savior will be here soon, and your year-end dividend will definitely not be less."

"What are you talking about!" The manager glared. "Am I the kind of person who's only interested in profit? I care about your career!"

Zhou Shenye curled his lips and remained silent.

The manager's throat rolled, and he asked again, "What savior? Is he reliable?"

Before he got an answer, his cell phone rang. He turned sideways to answer the call, and when he turned back, his expression was even more serious than before.

"Trouble is really coming. The chairman wants to talk to me about you. I have to go over there. Please tone it down and stop trending. Otherwise, I won't be able to handle it even if I have all my skills!"

Zhou Shenye lazily crossed his legs and said, "Go ahead. Good times will come after bad times. Your 'good' should come too."

Not long after the manager left, there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Zhou Shenye raised his eyes and met Yu Tang who pushed the door open.

He grinned, "Sister."

The staring gaze was too naked. Yu Tang didn't look at him, but first scanned the room. Apart from the person sitting opposite him, there was no one in sight.

She then retracted her gaze and looked at Zhou Shenye, "What's going on with you? You sounded unclear and anxious in your WeChat message. What happened?"

Zhou Shenye beckoned her to come over.

Although the Yufeng Club was his territory, it was a public place after all. Yu Tang thought that he would not dare to do anything excessive, so he closed the door and walked towards him.

But she still underestimated Zhou Shenye's unscrupulousness.

His personality is that he is the most self-centered person, and everyone and everything in the world must give way to him.

Yu Tang had just walked up to him when he reached out and pulled her. She lost her balance and fell directly into his arms.

One of her hands was pulled and controlled by him, and her whole body was held in his arms. There was no choice in this posture.

Yu Tang didn't try to struggle, just stared at him, "So the urgent matter they said on WeChat was a lie? Just to play a trick on me?"

Zhou Shenye's hand brushed through her hair. "Of course not. The manager just said that due to the chain reaction caused by Shen Zhi's withdrawal of investment, my suspension might be extended. I came to you today in a hurry to discuss cooperation. It's urgent and imminent."

His sticky tone and aggrieved look made him look so confident that it didn't seem like he was acting.

Yu Tang adjusted his posture and straightened his back. He grabbed Zhou Shenye's tie and pulled him towards him. "How can you talk about cooperation like this? Is this the proper working attitude?"

Zhou Shenye rubbed his cheek against her wrist and said, "This is called joining the game with my body, sacrificing myself to satisfy Party A."

Yu Tang pulled his tie down and gently brushed his Adam's apple.

Just a light touch made Zhou Shenye's body tremble, and his squinting eyes instantly became blurred.

Yu Tang curled her lips. It was clearly him who provoked it first. She was just cooperating with him. Now she couldn't resist it?

It's really not challenging and boring!

Yu Tang wanted to stand up, but Zhou Shenye held his wrist tightly.

His nose touched mine, he took a deep breath, and spoke in a unclear voice, "You smell so good... Is that the smell of Pavot?"

"Not entirely. I just came from the factory and looked at several products. It might be that different flavors are mixed together."

Zhou Shenye couldn't bear to let go and sniffed her wrist greedily, "Why do I rarely smell perfume on you?"

"I'm not used to wearing perfume."

Perhaps because she had to deal with these scents every day, Yu Tang was already tired. When she was not in the working state, she looked very plain.

“I prefer natural fruity scents.”

"Fruit smell?" Zhou Shenye turned his head and glanced at the table next to him. "There's a fruit platter there. Do you want some?"
