Beijing Colors Lingering

The bright afternoon sun shone through the layers of lush leaves, casting dappled light on Zhou Yancong.

Those eyes were as deep and unfathomable as clean, clear obsidian, like a star-studded sea at night.

Shen Jinsui was stunned for a moment, then slowly looked away.

At that moment, ripples seemed to stir in her heart.

This feeling was strange and unfamiliar, completely beyond her control.

After a long pause, Shen Jinsui replied, "Okay."

Making another friend wouldn't be a bad thing for her, and since she knew Zhou Yancong's mother, there was no reason for her to refuse her.

Upon receiving her reply, a subtle ripple appeared in Zhou Yancong's previously calm eyes.

After Shen Jinsui left, Zhou Yancong got into the car.

The driver then started the vehicle and drove towards the headquarters building of Huaheng Group.

Assistant Yu Feng turned to the side and cautiously asked, "Mr. Zhou, should we investigate Ms. Shen's background more thoroughly?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yancong glanced at him, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, before calmly uttering two words: "No need."

Yu Feng was startled and quickly nodded, replying respectfully, "Yes."

How could he make such a basic mistake?

They actually dared to make suggestions on their own initiative.

After returning home, Shen Jinsui changed into her home clothes, sat on the sofa, and took a glass of ice water from the maid.

After finishing her water, she lowered her eyes and stared at her phone screen. She couldn't help but open Zhou Yancong's WeChat Moments, only to find it completely blank; he hadn't posted anything.

"Zhou Yancong".

She whispered the name.

Then, Shen Jinsui suddenly remembered that He Zhenzhen had once talked to her about Zhou Yancong, who was her uncle's friend.

Shen Jinsui had been studying abroad for many years, so she naturally didn't know much about the people in Beijing. However, He Zhenzhen would occasionally gossip about things with her.

Shen Jinsui remembered He Zhenzhen telling her about Zhou Yancong, the head of the Zhou family, a top wealthy family in Beijing, and the boss of Huaheng Group.

In addition to traditional industries such as real estate, hotels, and cultural entertainment, Huaheng Group also owns Huaheng Pharmaceutical, Huaheng Medical Devices, Huaheng Biotechnology, and new energy, as well as Huaheng Hospital, one of the top private hospitals in China.

Among them, Huahong Pharmaceutical currently has a market value of over 3000 billion yuan and owns an independent laboratory building.

In He Zhenzhen's description, Zhou Yancong is incredibly handsome and exceptionally capable.

He is ruthless and decisive in the business world, and acts with lightning speed. He shows no mercy to his competitors, always striking at their weak points and leaving them no room to maneuver.

Unfortunately, he disliked women, and people in his circle called him "the cold-faced Buddhist monk".

When Shen Jinsui heard this, he burst out laughing and asked He Zhenzhen if he had a habit of playing with Buddhist prayer beads and if he planned to become a nun in the future.

Thinking back to this, Shen Jinsui smiled, her eyes sparkling with a hint of inquiry and curiosity.

Did Zhou Yancong dislike women?

A cold-faced Buddhist monk?

He even proactively contacted me to add his contact information just now?

On Monday, the sun rose in the east, shining brightly, and the entire bustling city was bathed in the soft and warm morning light.

After Shen Jinsui woke up and got out of bed, the intelligent robot in the room immediately started up, gliding smoothly from the door to the bedside and uttering its first greeting of the day: "Good morning."

Immediately afterwards, the curtains slowly opened to both sides automatically.

The bright summer sun streamed through a clean, transparent floor-to-ceiling window and onto the carpet.

After washing up, Shen Jinsui went to the next room.

"Ding!"

As soon as the sound was heard, a smart door automatically and slowly opened to both sides, revealing a huge walk-in closet.

Various styles of clothes, pants, skirts, etc., are categorized and placed in a wardrobe on one side according to the season and the occasion for wearing them.

On the other side is a huge transparent dustproof cabinet, where bags of different brands and styles are neatly arranged.

All styles of shoes were neatly and orderly categorized and placed in the transparent dustproof cabinet next to it.

In the very center of the dressing room stands a huge, rectangular glass display case, neatly displaying necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings, sunglasses, hats, and other jewelry.

Several haute couture gowns were hanging in the innermost wardrobe.

Next to the dressing room is a room specifically for storing diamonds.

Several huge transparent glass display cases contain rough diamonds of different colors, as well as diamond necklaces, earrings, and bracelets of various styles and textures.

Shen Jinsui glanced around and chose to wear a cream-colored Chanel-style suit.

Then, she put on a yellow diamond necklace and a pair of round pearl earrings, and chose a Patek Philippe 7118/1450R rose gold full diamond nautilus to wear on her left wrist.

Next, she changed into a pair of apricot-colored rhinestone high heels, applied a simple light makeup, and finally carried a cream-colored Chanel chain bag down to the restaurant.

The servants waiting nearby bowed respectfully as soon as Shen Jinsui came downstairs, "Second Miss, breakfast is ready."

Shen Jinsui lazily replied, "Mm."

Today is the day Shen Jinsui officially starts working at Nebula Animation. She plans to drive herself to work, so after breakfast, she takes the elevator in the villa to the private parking garage.

The garage here can only fit a few cars, so it can't compare to the parking lot of the Cheng family's old mansion. She casually chose a cherry blossom pink Lamborghini.

There were flat shoes prepared in advance in the car. After Shen Jinsui sat in the driver's seat, she changed her shoes first and then drove to Nebula Animation Company.

Yujingyuan is not too far from the company, only about a fifteen-minute drive away.

Therefore, except in special circumstances, she did not intend to have Uncle Zhang drive her around every day.

Shen Jinsui's colleagues in her department are all easy to get along with. The editor-in-chief, Zhao Ying, is a capable and decisive woman, whom Shen Jinsui greatly admires.

Sitting to Shen Jinsui's right was a cute girl named He Xiaoxiao, and to her left was a pretty and gentle girl named Yu Qing.

There was another girl named Ding Jiayi at the next workstation; she was quite pretty.

They were both very outgoing and soon exchanged contact information with Shen Jinsui.

Around noon, several colleagues warmly invited Shen Jinsui to have lunch at a shopping mall near the company.

Therefore, Shen Jinsui did not have the maid bring her lunch, but chose to have lunch with them instead.

Ding Jiayi glanced at the bag slung over Shen Jinsui's arm and exclaimed, "Suisui, your bag is so pretty, but it's expensive and hard to buy."

Upon hearing this, He Xiaoxiao and Yu Qing both glanced at the bag in Shen Jinsui's hand and nodded in agreement that it was indeed very beautiful.

When they met Shen Jinsui today, from her exquisite and sophisticated attire and innate air of nobility, it was not hard to tell that she was a young lady from a wealthy family, and that she was probably just here at Nebula Animation to experience life.

At first glance, seeing Shen Jinsui's expressionless, aloof, and beautiful face, I thought she was an arrogant heiress who was difficult to get along with.

However, after spending a morning together, they found that Shen Jinsui had a fairly easy-going personality and a serious and meticulous attitude towards work.

"Mm." Shen Jinsui smiled in agreement, but didn't say anything else.

-

After Shen Jinsui joined this department, the first comic she was responsible for was adapted from a web novel called "Entering the Dream," and she was appointed as the lead artist by the editor-in-chief.

A few days later, Nebula Comics' official account officially announced "Nightingale" as the lead artist for the comic "Entering the Dream".

"Nightingale" is a painting blogger who has gained some fame in the past two years, so fans and book lovers of the original novel are very much looking forward to her work.

Two full weeks have passed, and Shen Jinsui has not experienced any unpleasant incidents at work.

Therefore, she is currently quite satisfied with this job.

Anyway, her purpose in choosing to work at Nebula Animation was to learn and accumulate experience, so she didn't care how much the salary was, as long as she felt comfortable and at ease.

As long as others don't cause trouble or play tricks in front of her, Shen Jinsui can treat them amicably.

Shen Jinsui didn't pay much attention to the little incident with Zhou Yancong, treating it as just a casual relationship in her WeChat contact list.

There is not only a several-year age difference between her and Zhou Yancong, but their current social circles are also different.

Her brother, Cheng Yu, is about the same age as Zhou Yancong, so they must know each other.

As for what might happen between them in the future, Shen Jinsui felt it was best to let nature take its course.
