Chapter 20.2: Enigmatic!

Chapter 20.2: Enigmatic!

Early Monday morning, many people in the office building still hadn't come out of their weekend state yet: Holding coffee in their hands, yawning with their mouths, and sitting in front of their desks with a daze.

Zheng Shuyi seemed to be completely different from others. As soon as she stepped in, one could feel a high spirit of vitality. As she walked, there was a happy smile on her face, attracting everyone's attention.

It wasn't until after she entered Tang Yi's office did everyone's stares disappear.

"What are you so happy about?"

As soon as she entered, Tang Yi felt her excitement, "Are you dating again?"

Zheng Shuyi: ""

"Not yet," she said with a smile as she leaned towards Tang Yi, "I have an interview with Guan Xiangcheng this week."

Tang Yi was silent for a moment.

Then, she slowly looked up, and said word by word, "Which Guan Xiangcheng?"

Zheng Shuyi shrugged, "Which other Guan Xiangcheng could it be?"

Tang Yi asked again, "Are you joking?"

"Why would I joke around with this kind of thing?"

Tang Yi took a deep breath, "You contacted him yourself?"

Zheng Shuyi thought for a while, "You can think of it that way."

The disbelief in Tang Yi's eyes finally disappeared and turned into excitement.

Guan Xiangcheng hasn't accepted a public interview for many years already.

Now, although he seemed to be retired already, his immense power was still like an invisible hand, having full control over the market.

Therefore, he was still considered a giant mountain settling the entire industry.

Ever since he retired, any interview with him would definitely attract the most attention of all magazines during the year.

But

Tang Yi looked at Zheng Shuyi and a helpless expression appeared on her face.

"Thanks for giving me extra work."

"What?"

Tang Yi looked down and thought for a moment, and then waved to her, "Never mind, submit me the outline as soon as possible and then make it the last featured article for this season's issue."

Zheng Shuyi smiled and walked out of the office, "Okay!"

Outside the office area

Kong Nan couldn't hold it back anymore. Seeing Zheng Shuyi coming out, she quickly went up and asked, "What are you so happy about?"

Zheng Shuyi quietly told her and then Kong Nan said in shock, "No way! It's the end of the year already, your performance this year is flying!"

"Shh!" Seeing that Kong Nan was talking a bit loud, she quickly whispered, "Keep this low-key, low-key."

Kong Nan glanced at Xu Yuling and nodded, "Okay, I'll definitely keep it a secret this time."

Qin Shiyue, who just stepped in as work hour was about to start, saw the scene and also quickly came over, "What's the matter? What is it?"

"Oh what a coincidence," Zheng Shuyi raised her head, "Long time no see, Mr. Shi."

As she finished speaking, the housemaid quickly came over to welcome Zheng Shuyi.

"Excuse me, is this Reporter Zheng? Please come in."

The housemaid's voice was so loud that it covered up the wind outside, and also covered Shi Yan's quiet "Yeah".

Shi Yan turned sideways, motioning Zheng Shuyi to enter.

Guan Xiangcheng's wife passed away a few years ago, and his children were also busy with work.

Therefore, he and a housemaid were who took care of his daily life were the only two people living in this three-story house, making it look quite empty.

At this moment, he was sitting in the living room on the first floor and had a set of tea on the table.

The green tea's steam was in the air, and the scent from the tea was also in the air, allowing the environment to seem smooth and calm.

Zheng Shuyi walked over with Shi Yan. Seeing him just casually sitting in front of Guan Xiangcheng, she didn't know where to sit for a second.

And Guan Xiangcheng was holding the teapot, filling the teacups one after the other. "You're here?"

This was a way of accepting Zheng Shuyi, and his voice sounded really friendly as well.

Zheng Shuyi didn't care anymore. She walked up and sat beside Shi yan.

The tea table wasn't big, and the seats were close together as well.

The two sat side by side and as their clothes touched, and it made quiet noises. Their breathing even seemed to be invisibly intertwined.

All Zheng Shuyi need to do was to turn her head, and she could clearly see Shi Yan's jawline and smell the faint fragrance from him.

"Let's just chat about whatever today," said Guan Xiangcheng as he placed down the teapot, "I read some of your articles a few days ago, I think they're all very well-written and you use some unique viewpoints as well. I haven't talked to a young person other than Shi Yan for a long time already, so I asked him to invite you over, and we can chat for a bit."

"Mr. Guan, you're overpraising me," said Zheng Shuyi softly, "I am the one who needs to learn from you."

"Anyways," Guan Xiangcheng turned around and changed the topic, "have you had breakfast yet?"

Zheng Shuyi nodded, "Yes."

"Alright, then just have some tea." Guan Xiangcheng handed her a cup of tea, "This is one of my prize collections, I wouldn't even take it out in front of normal people."

Zheng Shuyi was a little shocked by what Guan Xiangcheng said. She nervously accepted the cup with both hands.

"I'm not really into drinking tea, I usually just drink beverages, maybe I'll just be a cow chewing peony.1This means giving something too valuable to someone who doesn't really know how to value it, making it seem like a waste."

Shi Yan raised his hand and picked up the teacup in front of him. Without looking at her, he only said coldly, "Drink it, you'll like it. The water used is made from snow."

"Huh?"

Zheng Shuyi looked at Shi Yan in confusion, "How is using snow any different?"

Shi Yan looked at her, and their eyes met.

"Don't you like snow a lot?"

His voice was really carefree and didn't seem to have any other meaning.

But this time, Zheng Shuyi was certain, he was being

Again! So enigmatic!

1This means giving something too valuable to someone who doesn't really know how to value it, making it seem like a waste.
