Chapter 33: It's Bright Daytime...This Is an Office...This Might Not Be a Good Idea?
After Shi Yan spoke, Zheng Shuyi felt muddled for a moment.
But Shi Yan was only inches away, and his breath entangled around her. Something indescribable seemed to have filled up the spacious office.
Gradually, Zheng Shuyi's mind started to picture some dirty scenes.
Even eight horses wouldn't be enough to stop her.
Her thoughts were also shown on her face.
Specifically, Zheng Shuyi's face was blushed to the point that it was hot already.
She could naturally feel the burning feeling brought by her skin, and even her breathing seemed to have turned into a heatwave.
But she subconsciously knew that she must not panic at this time.
Staring at Shi Yan for a long while, Zheng Shuyi finally blinked her eyes, and slowly spit out two words:
"Wow oh"
Shiyan: ""
"I'm looking forward to it."
Shiyan: ""
She knew her face was as red as a Fuji apple, yet she was still forcing herself to continue the act.
She herself wasn't really sure why.
Shi Yan suddenly found this to be a little funny.
With a move of a finger, he squeezed Zheng Shuyi's chin.
"Don't you ever feel ashamed?"
Zheng Shuyi: ""
Shi Yan let go, sat up slowly, and put on his glasses.
Zheng Shuyi touched her chin that still had some itching feeling coming from it and muttered quietly, "You're the one who started this first"
"Oh?" Shi Yan stretched his arm straight and rested it on the sofa. He tilted his head and asked, "Did you listen to everything I said?"
"Of course" replied Zheng Shuyi, "I always listen, didn't I come here to work overtime because you told me so?"
The person beside her approached her again.
But instead of just breathing like before, he leaned forward, and his arm wrapped around Zheng Shuyi.
"Then I do feel a bit hungry now."
Zheng Shuyi:!
She opened her eyes wide, looked around, and stuttered, "It's bright daytime. this is an office this might not be a good idea?"
"What isn't a good idea? Food and sex are natural desires," Shi Yan moved closer again, "Who said that we can't do it during daytime and in the office?"
Zheng Shuyi's fingers tightened the sofa in an instant, "Now that you speak of it, I think I really need to use the restroom."
"Restroom?" Shi Yan narrowed his eyes, "You have such a hobby?"
Zheng Shuyi's mind zoned out for a second as thoughts started to fight in her head.
We're at this step already? Isn't this a bit too fast?!
But when she looked at Shi Yan's face, she suddenly felt like maybe she wouldn't be suffering too much of a loss, and the scene became exciting.
It turned out that the office plays in novels weren't just fabricated, CEOs liked to do these.
Seeing Zheng Shuyi's eyes fixed in the air, he could tell what she was thinking. Finally, Shi Yan stopped teasing her and withdrew his hand as he smiled, then walked back to his desk.
"Clean up the things in front of you, it's time to eat."
"Eh?"
"Eh what?" Shi Yan leaned against the table and looked down at Zheng Shuyi, "Your company doesn't allow you to eat in the office during the day?"
Zheng Shuyi: ""
After a long pause to process this information, she let out a dry laugh and pushed aside the files in front of her angrily.
"Our company's rules are very strict. We aren't allowed to eat at the workplace."
Within a few minutes, the doorbell indeed rang.
Someone brought in two square lunch boxes and placed them neatly on the reception desk.
Zheng Shuyi looked at the food on the desk and slowly closed her eyes.
Work overtime, read files, and eat in the office.
What a perfect day.
There was still a tall stack of paper beside the desk. Zheng Shuyi made an estimate and figured that it would take her another long while, so she only took a few extra bites.
She didn't feel it while she was eating, but after the meal and when she stood up to go wash her hands, she suddenly felt a little full.
Just as she was thinking what she should do to help digest, Shi Yan got up and said, "I need to attend a meeting, you wait here."
After he finished speaking, he walked directly to the office door, and as he was about to step out, he suddenly thought of something and looked back at Zheng Shuyi, who was walking around slowly, "Do you usually eat cakes after a meal?"
"Huh?"
"If you would like to eat some"
Zheng Shuyi immediately understood and said blankly, "No."
Shi Yan smiled and didn't say anything. After walking out, the office door closed automatically.
Zheng Shuyi was still looking at the door, and after a long time, she slowly retracted her gaze. She relaxed her body and fell on the sofa, then took out her phone to message Bi Ruoshan.
Zheng Shuyi: I think the current situation has changed a bit from what I have imagined.
Bi Ruoshan: What's wrong?
Zheng Shuyi: My goal to become her little aunt seems to have changed, I'm running in the direction of actually being partners with him.
Bi Ruoshan sent a voice message and said in surprise, "You two went to bed already?"
Zheng Shuyi:?
Zheng Shuyi: No, what are you thinking?
Zheng Shuyi: I just feel like he
She typed intermittently with no logic or any syntax but still explained to her friend what happened in the office today.
She wasn't sure if Bi Ruoshan could understand her.
Bi Ruoshan was probably also busy with work at the moment, so she didn't reply for a while.
Zheng Shuyi waited for a bit, then she felt tired and grabbed a pillow to take a quick nap on the sofa.
The heaters made the office feel quite warm and comfortable, making Zheng Shuyi fall soundly asleep in just a little while.
It was only two o'clock, and the sun was slowly being blocked by the clouds.
The shadow cast by the curtains was on Zheng Shuyi's face, bringing a feeling of coolness. Time passed quickly while she was sleeping.
When Shi Yan came out of the conference room, Qiu Fu, along with two middle-level managers, held some folders and followed him to his office to have a small meeting.
But when the door opened, what they saw was a woman sleeping soundly on the sofa.
The reason they saw this scene at a glance was that the woman was wearing a red dress and was too mismatched in the cold-toned office.
What was more eye-catching was her thin and white legs hanging on the edge of the sofa, and the part of her foot that wasn't covered by the high heels.
The atmosphere at the entrance of the office was indescribable for a moment.
Almost as an instant thought, Qiu Fu immediately turned his face away pretending that he saw nothing.
The other two middle-level managers also followed and turned ninety degrees.
As they turned around, they ended up staring at each other, so they both turned 180 degrees to check out the beautiful scenery of the company.
Shi Yan glanced at them and seemed to dislike their sudden panic.
"One second."
Then he walked in without showing any panic on his face and closed the door.
Qiu Fu: ""
If you're not panicking, why did you close the door?
Shi Yan came in quietly, stepped onto the carpet beside the sofa, and looked down at Zheng Shuyi.
Her body was half tiled and her head was propped up at a weird angle.
She probably didn't feel it at first, but after she woke up, she'll definitely have a sore neck and a stiff waist for a long time.
Shi Yan squatted down and gently pushed her legs so that she could lie normally on the sofa.
The little movement still woke Zheng Shuyi.
She frowned but didn't open her eyes. She just rotated her neck and then found herself a more comfortable position to continue sleeping.
But a few minutes later, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have been moved by somebody.
The moment she opened her eyes, there was nothing in front of her, only the green leaves from the plants swaying lightly.
Zheng Shuyi was a little confused as she slowly sat up and looked around. In the end, she figured that she must have some hallucinations.
As she was still recovering consciousness, Zheng Shuyi glanced at her phone screen. It was exactly three in the afternoon, she had already slept for more than an hour without realizing it.
There were also several unread voice messages from Bi Ruoshan.
After the nap, she somehow felt even more tired.
Zheng Shuyi's breathing slowed down and leaned lazily on the sofa while clicking on these messages.
Bi Ruoshan's voice was particularly clear and loud in this quiet office.
Bi Ruoshan: "Actually I wanted to point this out a long time ago."
Bi Ruoshan: "I think, even if you don't do it for that goal of yours and just do it for this person, that'll still be pretty good for you.
Bi Ruoshan: Not pretty good, it's amazing for you!
Bi Ruoshan: You can do this! I sincerely hope that you will get married into this wealthy family and get rich.
The last voice message was only played halfway because that's when Zheng Shuyi suddenly remembered that this was Shi Yan's office.
Even if no one was here, it would still be weird to play these messages out loud like this, so she quickly cut the voice off.
At the same time, a splashing sound came.
Zheng Shuyi's heart suddenly appeared in her throat as she reflexively looked towards the bathroom beside her. She held her breath.
One second, two seconds, three seconds
After a while, the sound of water flowing stopped and the door was opened from the inside. Shi Yan was drying his hands with a paper towel as he walked out.
Crap, it's really him.
The heart in Zheng Shuyi's throat landed heavily, and she wasn't even able to speak.
She just watched Shi Yan wipe his hands, walk to his desk, and throw the paper towel away before looking at her back.
"Awake?"
Zheng Shuyi was taken aback for a moment and nodded, "Why are you here?"
Shi Yan found her words funny, "Is this my office or yours?"
Zheng Shuyi's words got stuck in her throat as she tried to utter something out.
After a second, she murmured, "Just then"
"I washed my hands, what's the matter?" asked Shi Yan.
Seeing his normal expression, Zheng Shuyi started to recover.
The bathroom door was closed, so he shouldn't have been able to hear anything.
"Nothing, I was just surprised."
"Oh," Shi Yan walked over and looked at her, "Why didn't I realize before that you were such a scaredy-cat?"
Zheng Shuyi pursed the corners of her lips, not knowing what to say for a while.
Until Shi Yan pointed to the files on the table, "Do you think my office is a hotel? Time to get back to work."
"Oh."
Zheng Shuyi immediately flipped open another financial report.
After Shi Yan walked out of the office, she let out a sigh of relief and took out her phone to find Bi Ruoshan.
Zheng Shuyi: I was scared to death!
Zheng Shuyi: Shi Yan almost heard what you said!
The office door opened, and when Shi Yan walked out, it closed automatically.
Without stopping, he walked straight ahead, leaving some cold words.
"Go to Meeting Room No. 3."
Qiu Fu glanced at him confusingly and the two managers behind also looked at each other.
How did his mood take such a big turn in just a few minutes?
But thinking of the private meeting they are about to have, they didn't think much and grew nervous.
The small meeting between them and Shi Yan lasted for two hours. When he returned to the office, the files on the desk were neatly organized. Someone obviously viewed through them already.
And Zheng Shuyi was standing by the window answering the phone.
"Saturday? That should be fine, I shouldn't be working overtime too much at this time of the year."
"Travel for two days? I think I can make it, I'll just have to bring my laptop in case I receive a sudden assignment."
The person on the other end of the phone was a girl whom Zheng Shuyi had met during an internship. The two have been in a good relationship since then and although they work in different companies now, they are still in contact.
She originally planned to go on a trip with her boyfriend, but he had something to do and bailed her. But since the hotels were already booked and the tickets were bought as well, she didn't want to miss the opportunity and asked if Zheng Shuyi would like to come along.
After listening to her for a while, Zheng Shuyi said with a nod, "Okay, I'll go check in with my company tomorrow to see if I have anything important. I'll let you know soon."
Just after speaking, Shi Yan's voice suddenly sounded behind her.
"You have something to do?"
Zheng Shuyi:?
She turned her head quickly and saw Shi Yan standing not far from her.
With a hint of panic, Zheng Shuyi said to the other end of the phone, "I still have something to do, I have to go now."
Then he asked Shi Yan, "What?"
When Shi Yan walked up to her, he glanced at her phone and said, "Next Friday to Sunday, Fu City will be holding the Kelunche Summit Forum, wouldn't you be going?
The Kelunche Summit Forum came from the west, which was an event where industry bigwigs would gather. It was an annual event for the industry, of course Zheng Shuyi wanted to go.
But this year, only TV reporters have the qualifications to join.
Zheng Shuyi replied honestly, "I'm not qualified to enter."
"You do now."
Zheng Shuyi:?
Seeing her confused look, Shi Yan walked closer and appeared right in front of her face.
"You don't want to go? You'd rather travel with your old friend?"
"No, I"
"Will you go or not?"
Shi Yan stared at her closely, trying to capture some emotions in her eyes.
"You don't even want to go to the Kelunche Forum?"
Zheng Shuyi thought about it for a while, then her eyes were filled with hopefulness and joy.
Of course she wanted to go to the Kelunche Forum, but what she wanted more was
"Will I be following you the whole trip?"
Shi Yan didn't answer right away but studied Zheng Shuyi carefully with a sense of inquiry.
This made Zheng Shuyi panic again.
After a long time, he narrowed his eyes, sighed, and then said, "Yes, the whole trip. Food and accommodation included. What do you think?"
