Accidental Love

Chapter 4.1: Yue Xingzhou, I Got in the Car Before You :P

Clouds glowing with orange light were towering over the horizon, and the passing of time became visible to the naked eye.

The lamps in the editorial department were mostly opened, and everyone was immersed in the sound of typing. The air was lingering with the stress of deadlines.

As Zheng Shuyi reached the conclusion of her draft, she realized and accepted the fact that "the person she tried to have a conversation with yesterday was the other woman's uncle, yet he rejected her due to what she said at the banquet that night."

What's up with the grudge?

The corner of Zheng Shuyi's lips subconsciously raised up as she muttered to herself. She looked at the screen and her hands flew across the keyboard as if she was full of thoughts and inspiration.

But

"Wealth management companies of banks are planning to run a new financing plan next year. Insurance will crush the scumbag's bones and use them as fertilizers, The homewrecker suffers through mental illnesses, acne grows across her face, causing her nails to dissolve one after the other."

"Huh?" Kong Nan, who was sitting at the desk next to her, leaned over and squinted as she asked after a glance, "What are you writing?"

Zheng Shuyi got back to her senses, blinked, looked at her screen, and casually deleted the line she just typed.

"It's nothing."

She closed her laptop, looked towards the window, and was lost in her thoughts.

After finishing the afternoon summit draft, Zheng Shuyi did not directly go home from work. Instead, she stayed to continue writing the outline for the upcoming interview with Shi Yan.

Although she was frustrated with her love relationship, she still had to do her best in her job. Zheng Shuyi must come up with a stunning interview to surprise Tang Yi, to make her realize that she was even more capable than before.

Not only was Zheng Shuyi a person eager for revenge, but she also had incredible self-esteem.

In the blink of an eye, it was already Friday. Zheng Shuyi took her recording pen and notebook and went to the headquarters of Mingyu Bank.

Like other office buildings, Mingyu Headquarters' reception desk on the first floor required visitors to register.

The office building was well-positioned, allowing the bright sunlight to shine across the smiling faces of the three men and women at the front desk, bringing a slim vitality to this solemn building.

The security guard stood on the side and glanced at the reporter ID hanging in front of Zheng Shuyi's chest and praised casually, "Are all the reporters from your magazine publisher so beautiful?"

Zheng Shuyi just used a smile to thank his compliment.

But the moment she picked up the pen to sign her name, she noticed something.

Xu Yuling?

Why is Xu Yuling's name on the registration book?

Although this name was not uncommon, she immediately knew who the name belongs to after seeing the word "Interview" beside the name.

Speaking of Xu Yuling, Zheng Shuyi didn't like her since the day she became a reporter, and in the past few years, there were frequent incidents of both of them fighting for the same resources.

So, after Zheng Shuyi saw Xu Yuling's name on the registration book and noticed that the visiting time was 10 o'clock this morning, she suddenly had an ominous feeling in her head.

Zheng Shuyi immediately ran towards the elevator.

In the elevator, time seemed to have been stretched. Zheng Shuyi was standing there as her hands slowly clenched into a fist. She felt as if her heart was almost hanging in her throat.

Half a minute later, the elevator arrived. The loud ding broke Zheng Shuyi's thoughts as she looked up and saw Chen Sheng walking by her in the hallway.

"Mr. Chen!" As Zheng Shuyi yelled the name, she rushed out of the elevator, "I'm reporter Zheng Shuyi from Finance Weekly', I am registered for a personal interview at three-thirty this afternoon."

Chen Sheng frowned slightly and asked with doubt on his face, "Aren't you busy?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Shuyi knew what happened.

As expected, it had to be Xu Yuling.

Sure enough, Chen Sheng immediately continued, "Your colleague has already finished the interview."

Zheng Shuyi's mind instantly went blank.

Chen Sheng glanced at his watch and added, "She came in the morning, but Mr. Shi happened to be free at that time."

""

If curse words were replaced with a "beep", then her head right now would be creating noise pollution.

What should I do?

Although Shi Yan was reserved for an afternoon interview from Finance Weekly', he wouldn't care which reporter came, let alone take the responsibilities for whatever happened.

However, she must submit her article. The editor-in-chief will probably just say a word of blame towards Xu Yuling, but now her opportunity was ruined.

Zheng Shuyi nodded, gritted her teeth, and forced out a stiff smile.

"Sorry, it's our fault, we should have communicated better with each other."

In fact, Chen Sheng obviously knew what was going on, but he knew it was better for him not to put his nose in other people's businesses. He just nodded back to Zheng Shuyi, "Sorry for the trouble and that you came here for nothing."

"No" Zheng Shuyi replied, but her voice was suddenly stopped and the next word "trouble" didn't even get to come out. She stared blankly at what was in front of her.

Ten meters away from her.

The door of the CEO's office automatically opened, and the six assistants and secretaries sitting in front of the office door all stood up. Even a young woman who seemed really busy and was carrying piles of files in her hand stopped walking and stood quietly on the side.

The man walked out calmly and quietly, yet took everyone's attention.

His looks gave out a cold glare from the corner of the frame of his glasses, giving people next to him an uneasy feeling.

The atmosphere was incredibly silent.

Zheng Shuyi blinked, making sure that she was not crazy. The person who appeared in front of her was none other than the "uncle" she has been trying to be with last week.

But at this moment, there was no joy in her at all, instead, she felt as if she was struck by lightning.

Seeing him at this place, she was almost certain that this person was the Shi Yan that she has been talking about for the past half a month or so!

No wonder Yue Xingzhou left her for the other woman, she had such a person as her uncle.

What a coincidence!

I guess this is what they call fate!

Only if she hadn't refused him that night and then went to talk to him that other day
