Chapter 3.2: Knocking on the Window

Chapter 3.2: Knocking on the Window

Tang Yi had once told her about this "bright future" she had.

It was when she spotted Zhang Shuyi in a newspaper agency, planning to use her to build up the reputation of the "Finance Weekly".

Zheng Shuyi graduated from the leading University of Finance and Economics in the nation, she had excellent professional experience in the field, and the girl was able to endure the hardships of being a reporter.

More importantly, Tang Yi chose her for her extraordinary beauty.

Even in this serious and impartial industry, beauty was still an excellent medium to get other's attention.

If all these were matched together with her education and ability, she was defiantly a "royal flush".Findd new stories at novelhall.com

Therefore, she was waiting for Zheng Shuyi to publish a few high-profile articles, and with the help of the Finance Weekly magazine, the two would both greatly benefit. Zheng Shuyi would become a famous reporter in the area, and the magazine would gain much more publicity.

"Sure." Zheng Shuyi was too lazy to discuss this issue with Tang Yi right now. She looked down at the stack of paper that was just handed to her and asked, "What is this?"

"There is a summit1A summit is generally a meeting of leaders or renowned figures in the industry in the afternoon. Go there get some content if you aren't dying at the moment."

Tang Yi waved at her to inform her that she can leave now. "Also, remember to prepare for the interview with the Mingyu Bank bank next week."

This was the best part of having an oppressive boss. Zheng Shuyi didn't even have time to complain about her life before she had to put on make-up and hurry out of the building.

The summit was held in Jiang City's new Financial Center, located beside the remote Fourth Beltway. It was just finished last year, and the surrounding areas were still in development. On the roads, other than the cars, there were almost no pedestrians.

Zheng Shuyi was very familiar with this place. That was because not only did she often come here for interviews, but also because Yue Xingzhou worked here.

In the past, she would always come here to wait for Yue Xingzhou to get off work, and then the two of them would go to dinner or watch a movie together. After that, they would go to her favorite pastry shop to buy cupcakes.

So, now that Zheng Shuyi finished listening to the entire summit, she subconsciously walked into that pastry shop.

After she realized that she was in the shop, the clerk was already greeting her with a warm smile.

Zheng Shuyi took out the egg tart she would always buy, but the two red grapes decorated on the yellow cheese looked just like Yue Xingzhou's disgusting face.

Standing beside her, the clerk watched Zheng Shuyi as her expression slowly turned into one that seemed like she was about to kill the tart in front of her.

"Miss, um" the clerk said cautiously, "It's already afternoon, so you can buy one and get one free."

As soon as she said that, the bell on the shop's door sounded, and the clerk quickly went to greet the new guest.

Zheng Shuyi was still staring at the egg tart until she heard a familiar voice behind her.

She suddenly turned her head around and found Yue Xingzhou looking at her.

Yue Xingzhou was stunned while standing by the door without knowing what to do.

After a while, he turned his face away and pulled the woman beside him. "Let's come again tomorrow."

Only then did Zheng Shuyi notice the woman beside him. Sure enough, she was the woman Zheng Shuyi saw at the hospital last night.

You can't even wait for a single day?

It is only yesterday night that you broke up with me, and now you are already holding hands with another woman shopping?

Don't you want to save twenty years of hard work?

The same goes for me.

Don't you want to lean against a large mountain2Leaning against a large mountain means having someone with a powerful background as support?

The same goes for me.

Even if I can't make you pay for all that you have done, I'll make sure that you'll lower your head to call me your aunt the next time we meet.

When thinking of this, Zheng Shuyi was already standing by the car.

She looked at her own reflection from the car window and gently brushed her hair.

Despite looking a little weak, she still looked as elegant as a woman could be. She had her own unique charm, sending out a sense of pitiful loneliness.

She knocked on the car window.

After a while, there was no response from inside.

Just as Zheng Shuyi thought that there was no one in the car, the window finally rolled down.

At first, Zheng Shuyi only saw a pair of gold-framed glasses.

Then, the face slowly appeared. When she saw who it was, Zheng Shuyi cursed herself in her mind.

Anyone who saw this face would not forget him, Zheng Shuyi, of course, could still remember that this was one of the people who she rejected at the Warner Mansion last night.

With Qin Lezhi's plain looks, she never expected that her uncle would be so handsome.

The man, however, did not look surprised.

Although embarrassing, Zheng Shuyi felt that it wasn't entirely a bad thing.

At least, didn't he show some interest in her last night?

So Zheng Shuyi bent down and said softly, "Sir, my phone is dead and I can't get a taxi. May I borrow your phone to make a call?"

Shi Yan, the person in the car, didn't even turn his head. He just slightly shifted his eyes and glanced at Zheng Shuyi.

With such a glance, Zheng Shuyi wasn't sure what he meant, so she bluntly asked, "Or can you give me a ride?"

Shi Yan stared at her for a while.

His eyebrows were narrow and long, and the cold texture of the glasses was a perfect fit for his face.

After a few seconds, Shi Yan looked back into the car.

"I won't ride with a woman who already has a boyfriend."

Zheng Shuyi: "?"

Directly in front of her face, the car drove off onto the highway.
