Beijing Colors Lingering

On the other side, a few hours earlier, He Zhenzhen said goodbye to everyone and got into He Sinian's car to go back to the He family's old house with him.

He Zhenzhen suddenly remembered the question from yesterday and looked at He Sinian directly, asking, "Uncle, why did you come to Macau?"

As soon as he finished speaking, He Sinian glanced at his niece, who seemed to have a million questions, and felt a headache coming on.

He replied lazily, "Because I have nothing better to do."

He Zhenzhen snorted and pouted; she didn't believe He Sinian's words at all.

Does her uncle think she's a three-year-old?

After a while, He Zhenzhen suddenly had a guess, and a gossipy expression appeared on her face. She quickly asked He Sinian, "Uncle, what exactly do you feel about my friend? You didn't come to Macau because of her, did you?"

On Shen Jinsui's birthday party, He Zhenzhen intentionally introduced Qiao Yunshu to He Sinian, hoping to bring them together.

Although He Sinian initially rejected He Zhenzhen's actions, he still added Qiao Yunshu's contact information after the banquet.

He Zhenzhen later learned that the two chatted occasionally, and that during lunch and on the plane today, He Sinian always took care of Qiao Yunshu intentionally or unintentionally.

He Zhenzhen believed she understood her uncle well enough to know that he would never treat a girl like that without a reason.

However, apart from that, her uncle did not take any other action or make any other indication, which made He Zhenzhen feel both anxious and curious.

Upon hearing this, He Sinian's face quickly showed an uncomfortable expression, and he seriously reprimanded He Zhenzhen: "As a junior, you should mind your own business."

He Zhenzhen pouted and muttered in dissatisfaction, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Why put on airs like an elder?"

He Sinian ignored He Zhenzhen and looked out the car window.

The elders in the He family kept urging him to get married and kept arranging blind dates for him.

He was pressured into meeting them, but so far he hasn't met a single woman who catches his eye.

Through his niece's enthusiastic introduction, he met Qiao Yunshu and would chat with her from time to time.

But he just felt that this girl, who was several years younger than him, was too well-behaved, the typical obedient girl, and he absolutely could not let her harm others.

However, on Friday, when he learned that Ye Jinwen and Zhou Yancong were going to Macau, he subconsciously wanted to go with them.

why?

Perhaps he wanted to go to Macau to see Qiao Yunshu.

Or perhaps he was genuinely bored.

The following day, Monday.

The Huaheng Group headquarters building, located in Beijing's CBD, is magnificent. In the conference room on the top floor, the weekly meeting is being held.

The executives sitting on either side of the conference table could clearly sense that Mr. Zhou was in a very good mood today, a stark contrast to last week.

After a long while, the meeting ended, and Zhou Yancong got up and returned to his office.

Yan Ze, who followed behind him, entered the office and immediately reported on Gu Sihe's situation.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yancong's expression instantly turned cold, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes. He ordered in a deep voice, "Then let her experience everything she has arranged."

"Yes, Mr. Zhou," Yan Ze immediately replied.

Zhou Yancong stared at Yan Ze with an indifferent expression and said in a low voice, "If this happens again, you can be replaced."

Yan Ze was startled, and alarm bells immediately went off. He quickly assured Zhou Yancong, "Chairman Zhou, this will never happen again."

"Hmm." Zhou Yancong didn't say anything more after hearing this, and waved for him to leave.

Yan Ze has been by Zhou Yancong's side for many years. He is not only outstanding in his work, but also extremely loyal to him. He has long been his right-hand man.

However, Zhou Yancong was very dissatisfied with Yan Ze's two previous assistants and this incident, and he had to give him a timely warning.

Yan Ze breathed a sigh of relief after leaving the office.

He couldn't help but curse Gu Sihe in his heart, that crazy woman, for daring to bribe an employee in the secretary's office. This employee happened to have gone to Shanghai with them not long ago, which is how Gu Sihe learned about Chairman Zhou's itinerary.

Gu Sihe even considered using such dirty tricks against Miss Shen, which was simply courting death.

The employee who leaked Jay Chou's whereabouts will not only be dismissed by Huaheng and blacklisted by the entire industry, but will also face a lawsuit.

But Yan Ze wouldn't sympathize with him. As an adult, he should pay the price for his mistakes.

Thinking of this, Yan Ze breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully this time no major disaster had occurred.

-

The workday seemed to fly by. After getting off work, Shen Jinsui drove directly to the Huaheng headquarters building.

When Shen Jinsui entered Zhou Yancong's office, she knew he was still in a meeting.

Upon seeing Shen Jinsui, Li Chen immediately brought her tea, snacks, and various drinks.

He placed the tray on the coffee table, then looked at Shen Jinsui and said respectfully, "Ms. Shen, Mr. Zhou is still in a meeting. You can sit here and rest for now."

Shen Jinsui nodded slightly and casually asked, "When did Zhou Yancong have lunch today?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Chen was stunned. He didn't expect Miss Shen to ask him this question. Mr. Zhou had been so busy that he didn't eat anything until 2 p.m. today.

But is this something that can be said?

He was a little conflicted.

Seeing his hesitant look, Shen Jinsui guessed that Zhou Yancong must not have eaten lunch on time.

After careful consideration, Li Chen replied, "Because there was an urgent meeting close to noon, Mr. Zhou had lunch a little late."

Shen Jinsui didn't ask him any further questions, and said slowly, "Okay, I understand. You can go ahead and get busy."

"Okay, Miss Shen." Li Chen bowed slightly to her and then left the office.

Shen Jinsui's older brother, Cheng Yu, often suffers from stomach pain because he is busy with work and often cannot eat on time.

Shen Jinsui didn't want Zhou Yancong to develop similar health problems, so she decided to have a good talk with him later.

About an hour later, Zhou Yancong returned to his office.

Upon seeing Shen Jinsui, a smile appeared in Zhou Yancong's eyes. He then pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Shen Jinsui shook her head and replied softly, "I didn't wait long."

Zhou Yancong said gently, "Let's go have dinner first."

"Hmm." Shen Jinsui followed him outside, then asked, "Did you skip lunch today?"

Zhou Yancong guessed that Shen Jinsui had asked Li Chen, so he nodded truthfully, "I was in a meeting at noon and only ate something in the afternoon."

Shen Jinsui pursed her red lips. She knew that Zhou Yancong sometimes wouldn't eat lunch on time even when he wasn't busy at noon; he was a typical workaholic.

After thinking for a moment, she said softly, "Then next time you don't have anything to do at noon, you must eat on time. I don't want you to get stomach problems because of irregular eating habits."

Zhou Yancong knew that Shen Jinsui was concerned about his health, and a sense of joy rose in his heart.

He smiled slightly and replied, "Okay, I will definitely pay attention to meal times in the future."

After the two finished dinner, they returned to Yujingyuan.

Under the moonlight, Shen Jinsui and Zhou Yancong walked slowly into Yujing Garden, their figures overlapping and intertwining on the ground, creating a warm and beautiful scene.
