Beijing Colors Lingering

Royal Garden, Villa No. 2.

Shen Jinsui was having breakfast in the restaurant when her phone chimed.

She immediately picked up her phone, and a news notification appeared on the screen—

[Huang Xu, a wealthy second-generation heir from Beijing, has been exposed for a scandalous sex scandal and multiple illegal and criminal activities...]

Shen Jinsui chuckled softly. She knew that this must have been ordered by Zhou Yancong, and that this man named Huang Xu would definitely not have a good end.

After breakfast, Shen Jinsui rested for a while before returning to her bedroom, where she leisurely chose the clothes and shoes she would wear that day.

Shen Jinsui is on vacation again today. She made an appointment with her personal trainer yesterday to go to the gym this morning.

In the afternoon, she went to a beauty salon with He Zhenzhen and Qiao Yunshu for skin care treatments.

While the three of them were having dinner at the restaurant, Shen Jinsui received a WeChat message from Ji Yan, inviting her to dinner together on Saturday night of this week.

Seeing that she was looking at her phone, He Zhenzhen casually asked, "Sui Sui, who are you chatting with?"

Shen Jinsui turned off her phone screen and replied without thinking much, "Ji Yan said he's going to treat me to dinner this Saturday."

He Zhenzhen's eyes lit up, and she smiled happily, "Sui Sui, Yun Shu and I will go too. I was just about to ask Ji Yan out for dinner, but I was afraid he wouldn't agree, so I haven't asked yet."

After speaking, Qiao Yunshu looked at He Zhenzhen with a questioning tone: "Are you really planning to continue pursuing Ji Yan?"

Qiao Yunshu didn't take He Zhenzhen's claim of pursuing Ji Yan seriously, especially after seeing Qi Mingyuan's worried attitude towards He Zhenzhen last night.

In her heart, it was only a matter of time before the two of them got together.

He Zhenzhen nodded very seriously and replied, "Yes, I really want to pursue Ji Yan."

Shen Jinsui also looked up at He Zhenzhen, feeling somewhat surprised.

Shen Jinsui had already relayed what Ji Yan had said last time to He Zhenzhen.

She remembered He Zhenzhen's forlorn expression at the time, and thought that He Zhenzhen would give up on Ji Yan because of this.

He Zhenzhen knew what Shen Jinsui was thinking, and said shyly, "Sui Sui, Ji Yan is single now anyway, so I still have a chance."

He Zhenzhen is Shen Jinsui's good friend, and no matter what choice she makes, she will respect and support her decision.

So Shen Jinsui nodded slightly, "Alright, then I'll ask Ji Yan first."

She definitely thought it was okay for He Zhenzhen and Qiao Yunshu to have dinner with them.

However, she still wanted to ask Ji Yan's opinion first, since he was the one who invited her to dinner first.

He Zhenzhen nodded quickly and said with a smile, "Yes, thank you, dear Sui Sui."

A few minutes later, Shen Jinsui put down her phone and looked at He Zhenzhen, "Ji Yan said it's okay."

"Thank you!" He Zhenzhen immediately gave Shen Jinsui a warm flying kiss, her tone cheerful and light. "I love you!"

Shen Jinsui waved his hand dismissively and said, "It's nothing."

Seeing He Zhenzhen's happy expression, Shen Jinsui couldn't help but wonder to herself if He Zhenzhen, Qi Mingyuan, and Ji Yan would develop into a melodramatic love triangle.

After dinner, Shen Jinsui went straight back to Yujingyuan. She went into her bedroom and began preparing to wash up and take a bath.

After finishing her skincare routine, Shen Jinsui received a message from Zhou Yancong—

【Are you busy? 】

Shen Jinsui: [No.]

A few seconds later, Zhou Yancong's message popped up in the chat: [Are you free this Saturday? I'd like to invite you to dinner, and then take you somewhere.]

Shen Jinsui was slightly taken aback. Why was Zhou Yancong also planning to ask her out for dinner on Saturday?

A moment later, she typed back: "Sorry, I'm not free this Saturday. I'm having dinner with friends."

Zhou Yancong: [Are you free on Sunday?]

Shen Jinsui planned to go back to the Cheng family's old house on Sunday to visit her grandparents, so she promptly replied to him: "I'm having dinner with my family that day."

After seeing her reply, Zhou Yancong thought for a while before replying: [Are you free on Thursday or Friday evening?]

Except in special circumstances, Shen Jinsui almost never works overtime, and her workday ends relatively early. After considering for a few seconds, she replied: 【Then Friday night.】

The next second, Zhou Yancong replied: 【Okay, I'll pick you up from get off work on Friday.】

Shen Jinsui chuckled softly, her slender, pale fingers tapping on her phone screen: 【Okay, sure.】

The two then chatted for a while longer.

-

The next day, Shen Jinsui ended her vacation and went back to work.

Shen Jinsui stepped out of the elevator at the Nebula Animation Company building and went to her workstation.

After a while, He Xiaoxiao sat down at her workstation.

When she saw Shen Jinsui, she smiled and said, "Sui Sui, you've finally come to work."

Next, Yu Qing and Ding Jiayi arrived at their workstations one after the other.

Ding Jiayi sighed softly, her face full of envy, "Sui Sui, I really envy you for taking five consecutive days off this time."

Yu Qing placed her bag on the desk, saying, "I hope future team building activities will include similar lucky draw events."

"Anyway, there will definitely be a lucky draw at the company's year-end party, and you might just win something." Shen Jinsui smiled.

Ding Jiayi replied with a smile, "Thank you for your kind words."

Yu Qing: "I hope I can win the grand prize, then I can take a paid vacation for a year."

He Xiaoxiao chuckled, "Then I hope I can at least win the third prize."

After chatting for a few more minutes, the group walked into the conference room together and began today's morning meeting, chaired by editor-in-chief Zhao Ying.

The first thing Zhao Ying talked about was the comic "Entering the Dream," which will officially end its first season next Friday.

Because the comic generates a lot of discussion and has high popularity and data across various aspects, a print version of the book will be published after the serialization ends.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Shen Jinsui with appreciation in her eyes.

Zhao Ying knew that Shen Jinsui had a high talent for painting, and that his paintings were exquisite and inspired. He was also a master at his job.

However, when Zhao Ying learned that Shen Jinsui was a rich heiress, she worried that she wouldn't work seriously and was just simply killing time in Xingyun.

However, after a few months, Zhao Ying no longer had such thoughts.

Although Shen Jinsui took a five-day break this time, she still submitted her artwork, which did not affect the serialization progress of the comic at all.

Zhao Ying admired Shen Jinsui even more because of this.

After the morning meeting, the official account of the "Enter the Dream" comic released the news that the first season will be published soon.

Not long after, Shen Jinsui logged into her social media account and commented on and reposted the Weibo post.

Nightingale: [Looking forward to it! !(^O^)y]

Afterwards, Shen Jinsui carefully read through the fans' comments, and an unprecedented sense of accomplishment gradually rose in her heart.

A few minutes later, she put down her phone and began her work for the day.

After finishing their workday, He Xiaoxiao suggested that they go to a nearby shopping mall for dinner together.

Yu Qing nodded in agreement and then began packing her things.

Shen Jinsui had no other plans for the evening, so she agreed to He Xiaoxiao's request. Then she picked up her phone from the table and sent a message to the housekeeper, telling the chef not to prepare dinner.

Ding Jiayi picked up her bag, smiling brightly, "I won't be having dinner with you guys, I have plans tonight."

He Xiaoxiao asked her, "Did the man who said he wanted to pursue you ask you out?"

Ding Jiayi didn't hide anything, smiling brightly as she nodded and replied, "Yes, he's the one who invited me to dinner tonight."

Yu Qing packed her things into her bag, looked up at Ding Jiayi, and teased, "Have you two made progress?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jinsui looked at them with a puzzled expression, as if she had missed something.

Ding Jiayi looked shy and coughed lightly.

He Xiaoxiao immediately said to Shen Jinsui, "Last Friday, a male colleague from another department said he wanted to pursue Jiayi. You happened to be on vacation that day, so you missed the exciting scene."

"Hmm, I see." Shen Jinsui nodded slightly.

Ding Jiayi smiled faintly, waved to them, and left first.
