Chapter 21.2: Zheng Shuyi, That's Enough

After lunch, Zheng Shuyi really couldn't stay anymore.

She quickly packed everything up and left with Shi Yan.

The driver had already driven the car to the door and was waiting.

Shi Yan quickly walked to the car and opened the door. Then he finally impatiently turned back.

"Get on."

Zheng Shuyi originally wanted to get into the car and leave, but after hearing his tone, she stopped.

She looked at Shi Yan with her hands behind her back and said with a soft voice,

"The weather is so good today. The sun is so bright as well, makes me feel so comfortable~"

"I don't want to ride in the car. I want to walk."

She slowly stepped forward, "Can you please walk with me~"

A gust of wind blew, and several leaves fell onto the ground.

Shi Yan leaned against the car door and turned his head to look at Zheng Shuyi. After looking at her for a long time, he finally said slowly, "Zheng Shuyi, tell me if there's even a way to satisfy your greedy heart?"

Zheng Shuyi: ""

Perhaps it was because of the great victory she gained at the dinner table that gave her the courage. She stared at Shi Yan and replied, "Hey, there is always a way. We can make poems together."

Shi Yan didn't reply and just looked at her with a pair of frivolous eyes.

Zheng Shuyi continued, "How far is Jiang City? Shuyi doesn't know, but she knows Shi Yan is envious of snow."

""

The leaves of the big trees even seemed like they didn't dare to fall anymore.

The second Zheng Shuyi finished, she suddenly realized that she messed up.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

After a long silence, Shi Yan squinted his eyes, then started to walk toward Zheng Shuyi.

His attitude was as if he was about to swallow someone alive. Zheng Shuyi got scared and quietly took a step back.

But she had nowhere to go, and Shi Yan grabbed onto her wrist easily.

Then, he pulled her toward the car.

"Get on."

Zheng Shuyi could feel her heart beating faster and faster. She didn't dare to say anything anymore as she obediently got into the car.

Then, the door slammed shut.

Shi Yan stood outside, looking at her coldly.

Through the window, his eyes looked even more terrifying, making Zheng Shuyi subconsciously tuck back her neck.

After a while, he finally stopped looking at Zheng Shuyi and raised his hand to knock on the front window.

The car slowly drove away under his captivating gaze.

Zheng Shuyi pressed her head against the window, watching Shi Yan's figure slowly disappear.

She still felt trapped under Shi Yan's pressure.

If she was given another chance, she promised herself that she'd never do such a thing again.

Zheng Shuyi looked back. It turned out that Tang Yi came.

Xu Yuling didn't even take her cup as she called out "Editor-in-chief" and followed her into the office.

Every Monday morning, there would be a meeting a 9:30. Before that, it was a bit difficult for one to get anything done in a short time period, so everyone was relaxed and chatting in small groups.

Qin Shiyue was late again by a few minutes. When she walked into the office, she saw Zheng Shuyi and Kong Nan chatting with some people from other teams.

She put down her bag and walked over with a box of chocolates for everyone to eat.

While everyone was taking their share of chocolate, a noise came from the editor-in-chief's office. Then the loud sound of the door being slammed startled everyone.

Seeing that it was Xu Yuling, Kong Nan coughed and muttered, "Why is she slamming the door again? Will she pay for it?"

At first, others also wanted to say something along with Kong Nan, but when they saw Xu Yuling walking towards them angrily, they all closed their mouths one after another.

She stared at Zheng Shuyi and her high heels seemed to be stopping holes into the ground as she walked towards her.

Everyone saw that her footsteps were a little shaky, but they didn't know that she was just trembling with anger in Tang Yi's office.

At the end of the year, all the industries were working hard to increase their KPI.

Journalists were no exception. Xu Yuling didn't receive a single featured article this year, and after crying and complaining in front of the chief editor, she finally got the final feature article of the year.

She also spent a lot of effort on this interview. Not only did she use several connections, she even bought a famous brand bag for the middle man. In the end, she finally got in contact with the founders of the three banks and interviewed them.

The amount of information she received was so great that she was confident she could beat all that Zheng Shuyi had done.

But unexpectedly, when she went to Tang Yi's office with her draft, she was told that the featured article at the end of the year would be given to Zheng Shuyi.

She couldn't believe her ears as she asked Tang Yi how that happened.

And Tang Yi replied rather impatiently and told her to go ask the chief editor.

"She just submitted a draft of an interview with Guan Xiangcheng this morning, if you're the chief editor, what would you do?"

Xu Yuling's mind suddenly blanked out, as if she suddenly fell into an ice cellar.

This one sentence completely ended all Xu Yuling's hard work and struggle, and also made her hate Zheng Shuyi even more.

She went straight to Zheng Shuyi and pushed open the balcony door with force. Her chest was violently moving up and down and the door behind her was shaking, making a creaking sound.

Everyone looked at her.

Zheng Shuyi was holding a piece of chocolate in her hand. Even though she knew Xu Yuling was coming for her, she didn't speak and just looked at her.

"Impressive, Zheng Shuyi," Xu Yuling tilted her head and sneered, "You even found connections with Guan Xiangcheng?"

Zheng Shuyi took a bite of chocolate and nodded, "I guess I'm quite lucky these days."

"Lucky?" Xu Yuling sneered, "How many years has Guan Xiangcheng not appeared in front of the media? You're telling me this is luck?"

Zheng Shuyi raised her eyes and said lightly, "What else?"

Xu Yuling folded her arms and studied Zheng Shuyi, "Everyone knows that Reporter Zheng is beautiful, I'm afraid you used your beauty to the extreme? No wonder you're always dressed up nicely these days and I never seem to see you after work."

Her tone sounded evil. Not only Kong Nan's face immediately turned dark, but journalists from other teams also frowned.

They were all colleagues, and this sounded way too harmful.

However, Zheng Shuyi just simply chewed the chocolate in her mouth and slowly swallowed it as she wiped her hands with a tissue.

Then she said slowly, "If I use my beauty to do my job, do you think you'll still have the right to stand in front of me and talk?"
