Beijing Colors Lingering

At this moment, in the midst of the wind and rain, Zhou Yancong held a dark black satin umbrella, his steps steady and his posture as sturdy as a pine tree.

Beneath the umbrella was a handsome and noble face, with high brow bones, deep-set eyes, and a refined and reserved demeanor.

The man was dressed in a neatly ironed black shirt and black trousers, with a tall and slender figure, exuding a strong sense of asceticism.

Dressed in calm and understated black, he seemed to blend into the thick night.

As solemn as the wind blowing beneath the pines, high and slow.

A black umbrella sheltered Shen Jinsui's head, and the rain pounded on the umbrella, the continuous pattering sound reaching her ears like feathers, gently brushing against her heart.

Shen Jinsui wore a retro dark green long dress today, shrouded in the misty rain of the night.

Her fluffy, smooth hair swayed in the wind, the ends brushing against the man's arm beside her unintentionally.

Immediately afterwards, the loose skirt fluttered in the wind, casually clinging to the man's suit trousers, creating a strange sense of harmony.

Shen Jinsui also noticed this scene. She was now quite close to Zhou Yancong, and the cool scent of cedar lingered around her nose.

Shen Jinsui lowered her eyes, pursed her lips, and blushed slightly, her fair cheeks turning a rosy hue. She gradually felt a little unnatural.

Shen Jinsui is 168 centimeters tall. Today she was wearing a pair of low-heeled shoes with a height of four centimeters, but when she stood next to Zhou Yancong, she was still much shorter than him.

Even though Shen Jinsui was wearing a man's suit jacket, the stark difference in their physiques was still noticeable to an observer.

At that moment, under the same black umbrella, Zhou Yancong's lips suddenly curved into a slight smile, as the pattering rain sounded overhead.

He naturally noticed Shen Jinsui's hair brushing against his arm, and also saw the dark green skirt clinging to his body.

The ripples in the man's deep, dark eyes were an undisguised smile.

Before long, the two arrived at the front gate of Shen Jinsui's house.

After Shen Jinsui underwent iris recognition at the entrance, she then used her finger for fingerprint recognition before the villa's door opened automatically.

To ensure her safety, her family specially installed two smart locks.

She was about to take off her suit jacket and return it to Zhou Yancong, but she stopped a second later. Out of politeness, she should clean the jacket before returning it to him.

Then, Shen Jinsui looked up at Zhou Yancong and her clear voice slowly rang out: "Zhou Yancong, I'll return the coat to you after I've cleaned it."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yancong gazed into Shen Jinsui's bright, round fox-like eyes, clear and sparkling like stars.

The corners of his lips curved almost imperceptibly, and he replied in a low voice, "Okay."

He was naturally eager for the opportunity to meet Shen Jinsui.

The pattering rain surrounded the two of them, and the soft yellow light shone through the layers of rain, slanting down on them.

In the damp air, the cool cedar scent from the suit jacket and Zhou Yancong's body wafted into Shen Jinsui's nostrils.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still.

They gazed at each other, the man's dark, deep eyes like clean, clear obsidian, containing a faint smile, like the deep sea rippling with light.

It captivates and entices, subtly leading one astray.

Soon, Shen Jinsui calmly withdrew her gaze, lowered her eyelids, and her thick, long eyelashes cast a faint, dark blue shadow under her eyes, while a ripple quietly stirred in her heart.

She pursed her red lips and spoke in a soft, clear voice: "Thank you for taking me home. I'll go home now."

Zhou Yancong remained calm and smiled composedly: "No need to be polite, it's just on my way."

"Hmm." Shen Jinsui turned and left.

After seeing Shen Jinsui enter the villa, Zhou Yancong slowly walked to the side.

Shen Jinsui walked into the villa's hall, and a maid immediately took the suit jacket she had taken off.

She was wearing Zhou Yancong's suit jacket, and her upper body was not wet at all, only the hem of her skirt was stained with water.

Shen Jinsui lowered her eyes, bit her lip lightly, stared at the hem of her skirt, and felt a slight stirring in her heart.

Every villa in Yujingyuan has a private garage. Zhou Yancong could clearly have his driver take the car to the underground parking garage of his villa and then drive it back to his own home.

However, Zhou Yancong had the driver stop the car at the main gate, and the two of them walked into Yujingyuan together under one umbrella.

Thinking of this, Shen Jinsui chuckled softly.

-

Monday, top-floor office of Huaheng Group headquarters building.

Zhou Yancong sat in the leather seat, his brows furrowed and his expression indifferent.

The computer screen contains information about Huahong Pharmaceutical's new generation of chemotherapy drugs for treating malignant lung tumors.

He casually glanced at the woman standing in front of him, and his previously calm and indifferent expression was shattered.

The man's lips were pressed into a straight line, his expression disdainful and cold, as if chilling to the bone.

The woman wore a luxurious and exquisite dress, her head lowered, her red lips pursed, and her hands clenched tightly.

Judging from her attire and demeanor, it's easy to tell that she is a wealthy heiress from Beijing.

After receiving an internal call, Yan Ze, the first secretary in the president's office, hurriedly walked in and bowed to Zhou Yancong, saying, "Chairman Zhou."

Then, he noticed the broken glass and coffee spill on the floor, and glanced at the woman with her head drooping, and immediately understood what had happened.

At that moment, a cold voice rang out, containing a compelling sharpness and ruthlessness: "Dispose of it."

Yan Ze immediately nodded in agreement: "Yes, Mr. Zhou."

The next second, he looked up at the woman, his expression businesslike, and said coldly, "You are now officially dismissed."

Su Yuxin gritted her teeth. Why was the scene in front of her different from what she had imagined?

According to the novel's plot, when a cold and aloof CEO meets a scatterbrained and pretty assistant, he should be attracted to her.

Why didn't this trick work on Zhou Yancong?

Su Yuxin had attended Huaheng Group's anniversary banquet with her parents before, and fell in love with Zhou Yancong at first sight after seeing him from afar.

Su Yuxin didn't care about his claim that he disliked women; she only wanted to get close to him and be with him.

She has an enviable family background, was spoiled and raised by her parents since childhood, and has a beautiful face and a great figure, so she has never lacked men who pursue her.

Moreover, she has now graduated from a prestigious university with a degree in finance.

For Su Yuxin, men have always been something she could easily obtain.

She believes that men are visual creatures and will eventually be attracted by beauty, thus breaking their principles.

She felt that Zhou Yancong was no exception.

Therefore, she was confident that she could win over this unattainable beauty.

The Zhou family of Beijing is an ancient, century-old family in China, and it occupies a position at the top of the pyramid. Today, only the Cheng family of Beijing and the Rong family of Hong Kong can rival it.

As the current head of the family, Zhou Yancong's personal wealth is now impossible to estimate precisely.

If she could marry Zhou Yancong, she and the entire Su family would reach an unparalleled height.
