Beijing Colors Lingering

Monday, Nebula Animation Company.

After the department's morning meeting, Shen Jinsui went to the Human Resources Department.

She plans to take the three days of paid leave she won in a team-building activity this Thursday, Friday, and next Monday.

After last week's team-building activities, all the employees at Nebula Animation Company know that there is a wealthy heiress in the company named Shen Jinsui, who is also a friend of the big boss.

Therefore, the HR staff immediately agreed to Shen Jinsui's leave request, telling her to inform the editor-in-chief today and go through the OA process.

In order not to affect the progress of subsequent work, Shen Jinsui has been working overtime during her rest time these past few days, and she doesn't leave the company until 8 pm every night.

At 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky a rich and vibrant orange-red, dazzling and beautiful as a painting.

The dim, yellowish light slanted into the office through the floor-to-ceiling windows, falling on the carpet.

Shen Jinsui turned off the computer on her desk. At this time, the company was almost empty.

"Ding!"

A new unread message appeared on the phone screen.

After unlocking her phone, Shen Jinsui opened WeChat and saw a message from Zhou Yancong.

Are you off work yet?

Shen Jinsui replied: 【Yeah, I'm about to get off work. How about you?】

The next second, Zhou Yancong sent a message: [I just finished a meeting, have you had dinner yet?]

Shen Jinsui: [I haven't eaten yet; I've been busy working.]

Zhou Yancong: [Wait for me at the Nebula entrance in ten minutes. Can we go have dinner together? With a few of my friends.]

Since the team building event at Nebula Animation ended, Zhou Yancong has been chatting with Shen Jinsui on WeChat every day.

Therefore, Zhou Yancong knew that she had been getting off work late these past few days, and also knew that she would be on vacation starting tomorrow.

Zhou Yancong sent her a message today, making sure to check the time, wanting to invite her to dinner.

Shen Jinsui was stunned when she saw the message.

Then, long, slender, pale fingers tapped on the screen: "I'm going to the Beijing Club with friends tonight."

The next second, Zhou Yancong's message came: "I'll take you there."

Shen Jinsui: [No need, my driver is already waiting for me downstairs.]

Zhou Yancong: [After your gathering, I'll take you home.]

Shen Jinsui: [No need, my driver will take me home.]

A few seconds later, Zhou Yancong's message appeared in the chat: [I was planning to invite you to dinner there anyway, it's just on the way. After the driver drops you off at the Beijing Club, I'll have him leave first, and I'll take you home.]

Shen Jinsui stared at the message, pondered for a while, and then typed a reply: 【Okay.】

Zhou Yancong: [Let me know when you're going home, I'll be waiting for you in the club's parking lot.]

After reading the message, Shen Jinsui picked up her bag from the table, got up, and walked into the elevator.

For the past two days, Shen Jinsui has had Uncle Zhang pick her up. When she walked out of the company building, a white Rolls-Royce was already parked on the side of the road.

At that time, the afterglow of the setting sun spread across the rows of lush and neat trees on both sides of the road, coating them with a warm halo.

When Uncle Zhang saw Shen Jinsui approaching, he immediately opened the back door of the car and bowed respectfully to greet her, "Second Miss."

"Mm." Shen Jinsui nodded slightly, then got into the car.

After Uncle Zhang got into the driver's seat, Shen Jinsui instructed, "Uncle Zhang, take me to the Beijing Club."

"Yes."

The car then started and drove smoothly on the wide road.

By the time we arrived at our destination, it was completely dark.

After getting out of the car, Shen Jinsui said to Uncle Zhang, who was standing to the side, "Uncle Zhang, you drive the car back to Yujingyuan. I'll take a friend's car back later."

"Yes."

Subsequently, Shen Jinsui entered the Beijing Club.

At that moment, an ambiguous gaze fell on her back, and then moved away after she entered the third floor of the club.

Shen Jinsui noticed something was wrong, stopped and turned around in confusion.

She looked carefully ahead and to both sides, but didn't see anything wrong.

However, she still felt something was off and knew she had to be extra careful when she got home.

-

In a private room on the third floor, He Zhenzhen and Qiao Yunshu were playing billiards in the adjacent entertainment area.

The door to the private room opened, and as Shen Jinsui walked in, they handed their golf clubs to the waiter standing next to them and then walked towards her.

He Zhenzhen teased her, "Miss Shen, you get off work so late. Anyone who didn't know better would think you had a job with an annual salary of hundreds of millions."

Qiao Yunshu didn't understand why Shen Jinsui would choose such a busy job, and couldn't help but start nagging: "Suisui, why are you so busy? You might as well quit your job and go work at Lingyue, and find an easy position."

He Zhenzhen agreed with Qiao Yunshu's words, nodding in agreement, "Sui Sui, I also agree with Yunshu's suggestion. If that's the case, we can go out and play more often."

Shen Jinsui placed her bag on the shelf, glanced at them, and slowly explained, "I have three days of paid leave, starting tomorrow. I've been working overtime these past few days so as not to affect the progress of subsequent work."

He Zhenzhen was a little surprised after hearing what she said, and muttered, "I thought you were just killing time by going to work at Nebula, but I didn't expect you to be so serious about it."

Qiao Yunshu: "I also thought you just found any job to work."

Shen Jinsui felt a little helpless upon hearing this. Did they think she was someone who didn't take her work seriously?

However, Shen Jinsui was too lazy to argue with them.

It's not surprising that her two best friends have such thoughts, perhaps because she has always been too laid-back.

Whenever the three of them get together, besides eating and having fun, they usually go shopping, go to beauty salons for treatments, have afternoon tea and chat, or travel around.

In any case, Shen Jinsui never revealed her career plans to them.

Therefore, they thought that after she graduated and returned to Beijing, she would go directly to work at Lingyue or find an extremely easy and leisurely job.

Shen Jinsui walked into the restaurant and sat on a leather armchair.

She took the hot towel handed to her by the waiter and slowly said while wiping her hands, "I forgot to tell you before that I plan to open a painting studio in the future, so I went to work at Nebula Animation Company to learn about and accumulate relevant experience."

As soon as the words were spoken, He Zhenzhen and Qiao Yunshu suddenly realized that they had been worrying for nothing.

However, He Zhenzhen didn't quite understand and asked her, "You can open a studio right now too."

Shen Jinsui pouted, "I'm not in a hurry to open a studio right now. I want to go work at Nebula first, and I can get to know different artists along the way."

After pondering for a moment, Qiao Yunshu said, "Sui Sui, then you can hire experienced employees."

Shen Jinsui put down the towel in her hand and said slowly, "Before this plan was made, I was planning to work at Nebula, after all, it is the largest animation company in China."

Hearing her say that, He Zhenzhen and Qiao Yunshu did not continue the conversation on this topic.

At this moment, several waiters served up exquisite and delicious dishes one after another.

Halfway through the meal, He Zhenzhen suddenly thought of something.

She then looked up at Shen Jinsui, a beautiful smile curving her lips. "Suisui, I want to ask you something."

"Hmm?" Shen Jinsui lazily lifted her eyelids.

He Zhenzhen asked her with a smile, "Does your friend Ji Yan have a girlfriend?"

Ji Yan is a friend of Shen Jinsui for many years, and He Zhenzhen and Qiao Yunshu naturally know him as well.

However, they only had a nodding acquaintance with Ji Yan and did not have his contact information.

Shen Jinsui was slightly taken aback when she heard this, not expecting He Zhenzhen to ask this question. After thinking for a moment, she replied, "Ji Yan probably doesn't have a girlfriend. He's always very busy with work."

In fact, apart from visiting Aunt Ji in the hospital together, she and Ji Yan rarely had the opportunity to meet.

Shen Jinsui had heard Ji Yan say a few years ago that he was too busy with work to consider dating for the time being.

When Shen returned to China after graduation, Ji Yan never mentioned that he had a girlfriend, and there was no indication from his social media posts that he was in a relationship.

Therefore, Shen Jinsui guessed that Ji Yan was probably still single.

Upon hearing the answer, He Zhenzhen's smile deepened, and she quickly said to Shen Jinsui, "Suisui, then quickly send me his contact information."

Shen Jinsui had known He Zhenzhen for many years and could roughly guess her intentions. She raised an eyebrow and asked, "You have feelings for him?"

He Zhenzhen didn't intend to hide anything from them and readily stated her thoughts: "Well, I plan to get to know him for a while first, and then pursue him."

As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jinsui and Qiao Yunshu exchanged a knowing glance.

Immediately afterwards, Qiao Yunshu looked at He Zhenzhen and couldn't help but ask her directly, "What about Qi Mingyuan?"
