Chapter 22: Chapter 21:




After confirming this, Zheng Shuyi's heart was filled with throbbing joy.\nShe was holding the tea cup, her eyes slowly shifting from Shi Yan's face to
the cup.\nThe orange tea was reflected in her smiling eyes.\nZheng Shuyi chuckled, and in order to keep silent, he could only take a sip.\nShe didn't realize the beauty of good tea, but with the words of Shi Yan,
Zheng Shuyi felt that the tea was very comfortable to drink.\n"Well, it's delicious." Zheng Shuyi looked down, his mouth curled slightly,
"It smells like snow, I like it very much."\nAt this time, the banquet looked plain. After a drink, he got up and said:
"You talk, I'll go to the balcony."\n"Hmm."\nZheng Shuyi nodded, "I see."\nShi Yan glanced at the top of her head lightly, and walked quickly toward the
balcony without saying anything.\nHe found a recliner, sat down slowly, relaxed and straightened his legs,
watching the fallen leaves outside the window.\nIn the ear, the woman's voice was soft and flexible, touching the vitality of
this empty old house that hadn't sounded for a long time.\nIn the morning, the sun is full, and through the five-color glass of the old
house, the dust becomes lovely, jumping in the colorful light.\n——\nGuan Xiangcheng said that he talked casually, and the topic was not limited to
a certain range, sometimes accurately pointed out the current market changes,
and sometimes talked about the mistakes made by the situation when he was
young.\nTime passed quietly in the chat between the two people, sometimes mixed with
laughter and laughter, without knowing that the noon sun had shone on the
roof.\nShi Yan's shirt was warmly tanned. Looking back, Zheng Shuyi didn't know when
he took his hair back at random, revealing a whole face, and his eyes looked
at Guan Xiangcheng with bright eyes.\nThe nanny walked over softly and saw that the two were talking very happily,
so he had to look at Shi Yan.\nShi Yan nodded to the nanny, put down his phone, got up and walked towards the
living room.\n"Yes, my first pot of gold is the 435 yuan, who would have thought that it has
now doubled to today's Guan's capital."\nZheng Shuyi was very supportive, and he clapped vigorously with a "pop",
accompanied by a "wow!", the mood was high and the tone was high.\n――Suddenly, Shi Yan who passed by her was slightly frightened.\nShi Yan stopped, rubbed his brow bones, and said solemnly, "Zheng Shuyi, you
are enough."\nZheng Shuyi's expression instantly solidified, and when he raised his head, he
saw Shi Yan's slightly disgusting eyes.\n"It's dinner." Shi Yan's voice swept over her head, looking at Guan
Xiangcheng.\n"Hi, I forgot this time." Guan Xiangcheng slowly sat up with his knees on his
knees, "It's okay not to say it, but I'm really hungry when I say it."\n"Yeah." Zheng Shuyi turned off the recorder, packed up his things and got up,
"I had a good chat with you today. I will sort out the manuscript for you to
review as soon as possible."\nShe picked up the bag, "Then I won't bother."\n"Hey, the dinner is all on the table. Let's go after dinner." Guan Xiangcheng
pointed to Shiyan, "He is not in a hurry."\nZheng Shuyi looked towards Shiyan. He was already in the dining room, standing
at the table with his head down, intervening slowly with a towel.\nHe didn't look here, and didn't say anything.\nSince Guan Xiangcheng's family has few people all the time, a small table has
been added to the dining room, which is only enough for four or five people.\nTherefore, after he sat down with Shi Yan, Zheng Shuyi sat next to Shi Yan.\nThere were four or five dishes on the table, all of which were light in taste.
Guan Xiangcheng didn't have the habit of not eating and sleeping. He wiped his
hands, peeled off the boiled shrimp, and said, "Shuyi, how old are you?"\n"Twenty-five." Zheng Shuyi said, "what's the matter?"\n"Well, it's almost as I imagined." Guan Xiangcheng nodded, "It's exactly the
same as Shiyan's zodiac."\nZheng Shuyi blinked and looked at Shi Yan subconsciously.\nHe lowered his head and held the vegetable, silent, as if he hadn't heard it.\n"Hmm..." Zheng Shuyi whispered, "I think too."\nFrom the occasional conversations at Guan Xiangcheng's dinner table, Zheng
Shuyi understood that he still thought he had that kind of relationship with
Shi Yan.\nBut Guan Xiangcheng is not a person who is keen to use junior relationships as
a source of teasing, and occasionally in a few words, but not
straightforwardly point out.\nShi Yan couldn't point out the rebuttal.\nJust like on the day of the racecourse, if Shi Yan broke through at this
moment, Guan Xiangcheng would be embarrassed instead.\nZheng Shuyi wanted to laugh whenever he saw Shi Yan unable to answer the
conversation.\nSince she provoked this scene, she will go on acting it.\n"I've been in contact with a lot of reporters." Guan Xiangcheng mentioned in
the middle of his speech, "Old friends I have known before have worked for
many years, but in the end they changed their careers."\n"Especially in this era, when the paper media is declining, journalists are no
longer the mouthpiece of society as before, and it is not easy for girls to
persevere."\nZheng Shuyi answered, "In fact, most of the reporters in our magazine are
still girls."\nShe glanced at Shiyan, meaning, "and they are all pretty."\n"Well, this is also the case." Shi Yan did not speak, and Guan Xiangcheng
didn't know the purpose of Zheng Shuyi's words, so he said, "It's also a kind
of unspoken rule to be well-groomed. Who doesn't like looking at beautiful
girls during interviews? ."\nZheng Shuyi poked the chopsticks at the ribs, "Well, Shi always likes good-
looking female reporters."\nShi Yan finally stopped being silent and turned his head and glanced at Zheng
Shuyi.\nThe meaning of the warning is self-evident.\n"Isn't it?" Zheng Shuyi raised his head to face him, "The intern who attended
the press conference with me last time, didn't you stare at them for a long
time?"\n"Oh?" Guan Xiangcheng said slowly, "Is there anything else?"\nShi Yan stared at Zheng Shuyi closely, and the two looked at each other. Zheng
Shuyi was inexplicably guilty when he saw him. His momentum gradually
weakened, and he lowered his head to bite his ribs.\nShi Yan retracted his gaze and said faintly, "No."\n"Yes." Zheng Shuyi buried his head and answered, "You also asked me where my
family went. I said they were uncomfortable and went home, but you also asked
where they were uncomfortable."\nGuan Xiangcheng's gaze gradually showed a sense of exploration, and he
patrolled between the two of them.\nZheng Shuyi didn't look up, but he could feel Shi Yan's gaze on him.\nShe does not look up.\nAs long as you don't look at him, your momentum will not be weak.\nAfter a while, Shi Yan's tongue touched the back molars, and said every word:
"I am teasing you."\n"Really?"\nZheng Shuyi really didn't know whether he was rounding up his image in front
of Guan Xiangcheng or was telling the truth.\nThen he looked at him with scorching eyes.\nLooking at her eyes, staring at each other for a moment, the chopsticks in his
hand were lowered, and the eyelids were lifted, "Then how can you believe it?"\nWith your attitude, ghosts believe.\nZheng Shuyi quietly turned aside and said nothing.\nI thought this topic would just go around like this.\nSuddenly, Zheng Shuyi pointed to the boiled shrimp on the table and said,
"Then I want to eat this."\nWhen Shi Yan just picked up his chopsticks, he made a halt and turned his head
to look at her again.\nZheng Shuyi blinked, with an innocent look, and repeated: "I want to eat
shrimp."\nThe two of them stared at each other at this moment, like a silent game in
front of Guan Xiangcheng.\nAnd girls naturally have some advantages.\nShi Yan stared at her closely, step by step backing down in the flash of her
pupils.\nA bright red shrimp appeared in the bowl.\nZheng Shuyi took an inch and said, "You won't peel it for me..."\nSuddenly seeing Shi Yan's gaze, Zheng Shuyi stopped.\nHe lowered his head, took the towel and wiped his hands again, carefully
peeling the shrimp shells.\nBut he didn't put it in his own mouth, but put it in the bowl of Shiyan.\n"give."\n——\nAfter the meal, Zheng Shuyi really couldn't stay anymore.\nShe simply packed up her things and left with Shi Yan.\nThe driver had already drove the car to the door and waited.\nShi Yan walked quickly, opened the car door in three or two steps, and then
turned back a little impatiently.\n"boarding."\nZheng Shuyi thought about getting into the car and leaving, but when he heard
his tone, his steps stopped moving.\nShe looked at Shi Yan, her hands behind her back, and she didn't realize that
her voice was a little pretentious.\n"The weather is good today, the sun is so big, it makes people feel
comfortable."\n"I don't want to take a car, I want to take a walk."\nShe took a step forward slowly, "Why don't you walk with me."\nA gust of wind moved, and several dead leaves fell to the ground again and
rustle.\nShi Yan held up the car door, turned his head to look at Zheng Shuyi for a
long time, and then slowly said, "Zheng Shuyi, can't you be satisfied with
making heaven and earth?"\nZheng Shuyi: "..."\nPerhaps it was the great victory at the dinner table that gave her full
courage. She stared at Shi Yan and said: "I am not only making heaven and
earth, I also make poetry."\nShi Yan was silent, looking at her with some frivolous eyes.\nZheng Shuyi said word by word: "Shuyi doesn't know Jiang Chengyuan, Shi's
Xiaoyan is jealous of Xue."\n"..."\nThe fallen leaves of the big tree didn't seem to dare to fall, and they were
hanging in the top of the tree.\nWhen Zheng Shuyi spoke, he suddenly shook his heart.\nAfter a long silence, Shi Yan narrowed his eyes, slowly lowered his hand, and
walked towards her step by step.\nSeeing his aura, as if he was about to eat people, Zheng Shuyi persuaded him
and took a step back silently.\nBut she couldn't retreat and was easily grabbed by his wrist.\nThen drag it to the car.\n"boarding."\nZheng Shuyi's heartbeat was abrupt, so he didn't dare to struggle, and sat on
it properly.\nSubsequently, the door was closed hard.\nShi Yan stood outside, looking at her coldly.\nThrough the window, his eyes looked terrifying, and Zheng Shuyi unconsciously
shrank his neck.\nAfter a long time, he finally stopped looking at Zheng Shuyi tightly, raised
his hand and knocked on the front window.\nThe car drove away slowly under his captivating gaze.\nZheng Shuyi lay on the car window, watching Shi Yan's figure gradually
diminish.\nBut that breath seems to have been hanging around her all the time.\nIf Liang Jingru's sister gave another chance, she vowed that she would never
waste her courage like this again.\n——\nThis afternoon, Zheng Shuyi sorted out the manuscripts at home peacefully.\nThe conversation between her and Guan Xiangcheng was in the recorder. Although
the content was not compact, but the amount of information was quite large,
she quickly sank in.\nThe hour hand went round and round, and the sky darkened.\nThe clouds obscured the sun, and only a few turbid lights showed through.\nThe room was so quiet that a second ticking sound could be heard.\nSuddenly there was a voice in the recorder that did not belong to Zheng Shuyi
and Guan Xiangcheng.\n――"Zheng Shuyi, you are enough."\nZheng Shuyi quickly returned to his senses, raised his head and rubbed his
eyes, sighed deeply, and then squatted on the table. I'd listened to it if I
knew it, but it was enough.\nUgh.\nIt's all right now, and I'm probably playing off again.\nEarly the next morning, Zheng Shuyi took his first draft to the magazine.\nShe wrote late last night. She woke up in the morning and was not in good
spirits. She walked all the way to the work station with Hache, and when she
sat down, she poured herself a cup of coffee.\n"Monday syndrome, tsk tsk." Kong Nan was infected by Zheng Shuyi and yawned
together, his face was full of sleepiness, "Last night I stayed up late to
watch the show, only went to bed at three o'clock, almost couldn't get up in
the morning, and didn't even wash my hair. What about you, what are you doing,
how come you are so sleepless?"\nZheng Shuyi stared at the computer for a while before saying, "Write a
manuscript."\n"Is the interview going well?" Kong Nan whispered, "Isn't there any moths this
time?"\n"..."\nZheng Shuyi lowered his eyes and snorted softly, "It went well. The manuscript
was sent to the editor last night."\nIt was only Monday, and the office was already busy, with typing sounds all
around.\nZheng Shuyi was still a little sleepy, turned his neck and looked to the other
side.\nAt the other end of the office area, Xu Yuling came early, holding a cup of
coffee, and was chatting with her intern there.\nUnlike Zheng Shuyi, she looks very energetic today. She wore a light yellow
chiffon shirt and was blown with tassels by the air conditioner.\nThe words "Chunfeng proud" were clearly written on his face.\nJust in time, Xu Yuling also glanced over there, and happened to meet Zheng
Shuyi.\nXu Yuling's eyes are big and eyelashes are planted. When the eyelids are
lifted and closed, the gaze looks unkind, which makes the person under
scrutiny very uncomfortable.\nZheng Shuyi didn't know what she was proud of, turned her head away, picked up
the cup and walked towards the pantry.\nShe had no appetite in the morning, and she was not able to eat anything, so
she planned to make herself a cup of cereal.\nThe hot water rushed out, and there was a sound of high heels behind him at
the same time.\nZheng Shuyi didn't need to look back to know who it was.\n"I heard that you had an interview yesterday?" Xu Yuling asked casually.\nZheng Shuyi didn't look back: "Yeah."\n"You really are, it's the end of this year, and you still fight like this."\nXu Yuling didn't leave after receiving the water, so she leaned against the
cabinet, "I don't have any good resources at the moment, and I can't get the
important pages after doing an interview. It's better to take a good rest."\nZheng Shuyi stirred the cereal and was about to talk when Xu Yuling suddenly
stood up straight and hurriedly walked out.\nZheng Shuyi looked back, and it turned out that Tang Yi came.\nXu Yuling didn't even take the cup, and called "Editor-in-Chief" from a
distance, and followed her into the office.\n——\nThere is a regular meeting at 9:30 in the morning on Monday. Before that, it
is not easy to do anything in this fragmentary time. Everyone is a little
loose, getting together in twos and threes.\nQin Shiyue was late for another few minutes. When he walked into the company,
Zheng Shuyi, Kong Nan and some other people were standing and chatting on the
balcony.\nShe put down her bag and walked over with a box of chocolates to invite
everyone to eat.\nEveryone was sharing chocolates, a sudden movement came from the editor-in-
chief's office, and then the sound of a heavy door slam alarmed everyone.\nSeeing that it was Xu Yuling, Kong Nan coughed and muttered: "Why slammed the
door again? Will she pay if the editor's office broke?"\nAt first, someone wanted to answer Kong Nan's words, but when Xu Yu walked
towards them in a desperate manner, they closed their mouths.\nShe stared at Zheng Shuyi steadily, her high heels seemed to be piercing the
ground, and walked towards her step by step.\nEveryone saw that her footsteps were a little shaky, but they didn't know that
she was already trembling with anger in Tang Yi's office just now.\nAt the end of the year, all walks of life are sprinting for KPIs.\nColumnists are no exception. Xu Yuling didn't have a key page this year.
Fortunately, after she cried out with the editor-in-chief, she got the final
reprint at the end of the year, which is a top priority.\nShe also paid a lot for this task, cleared up a lot of contacts, even bought a
brand-name bag for the middleman, and finally contacted the co-founders of
three commercial banks and conducted a concentrated interview.\nThe gold content is so great that she is confident that she can get rid of
Zheng Shuyi's repression in the past two years by turning over this time.\nWho knows, she took the manuscript to Tang Yi confidently, but was told that
the key layout at the end of the year was Zheng Shuyi's.\nShe was not reconciled, not upset, and asked how Tang Yi turned her back.\nTang Yi was rather impatient and asked her to go to the editor-in-chief.\n"I submitted Guan Xiangcheng's interview draft this morning. You said you are
the editor-in-chief, how do you arrange it?"\nXu Yuling suddenly buzzed in his mind, as if he was in an ice cellar.\nThis sentence broke Xu Yuling's struggling intention, but it also aroused
heavier hostility.\nShe went straight to Zheng Shuyi and pushed open the balcony door. Her chest
was violently up and down, and the door behind her shook, making a creaking
sound.\nEveryone looked at her.\nZheng Shuyi held a piece of chocolate in his hand, knowing that Xu Yuling was
coming for her, but did not speak, just looked at her.\n"Yes, Zheng Shuyi." Xu Yuling tilted her head and sneered. "Even Guan
Xiangcheng's contacts have been unblocked."\nZheng Shuyi took a bite of chocolate and nodded, "I'm lucky these days."\n"Good luck?" Xu Yuling sneered, "How many years has Guan Xiangcheng not
appeared in front of the media? Tell me this is luck?"\nZheng Shuyi raised his eyes and turned her faintly, "What do you think?"\nXu Yuling folded her arms and looked up and down Zheng Shuyi, "Who doesn't
know that reporter Zheng Da is beautiful and moving. I am afraid that he has
used his advantages to the extreme. No wonder he has been dressed up recently,
but there is always no one to see after get off work."\nThis is not cryptic, even vicious, not to mention that Kong Nan immediately
turned black when he heard it, and even the other group of people frowned.\nThey are all colleagues, so speaking like this is too ugly.\nThe person involved, Zheng Shuyi, chewed up the chocolate in his mouth,
swallowed it slowly, and wiped his hands with the tissue.\nThen he said slowly: "If I rely on beauty to do my job, do you think you can
stand in front of me and talk?"
