Yan Wenjing moved closer.

Jiang Yunzhi's murmured words echoed in his ears, "No... I won't go back."

Then came the woman's soft breathing.

Instantly, the slight agitation that had welled up in Yan Wenjing's heart was calmed down.

That night, Jiang Yunzhi had a dream in which she was tightly entwined by a large snake and could not break free.

When I woke up, Yan Wenjing's noble and profound face came into view.

Yes, I feel much better now.

...

The short holiday is over, and Niu Ma Xiao Jiang is back at work with post-holiday syndrome. He's physically in the office, but his mind is still wandering outside, so he decided to treat himself to a day of slacking off.

Colleagues shared what they had bought on their travels.

Jiang Yunzhi didn't have any local specialties. She opened the fishing bag given to her by Butler Chen and said in a clear voice, "Come on, come on, Chunyun sparkling water, white peach, grape, lime, raspberry, many flavors, take what you like."

Mr. Wang, carrying a cup of chrysanthemum tea, glanced over here, took a bottle of lime sparkling water, said "thank you," and went to inspect other departments.

"Alright, alright, let me see if anyone's slacking off."

Jiang Yunzhi received an email, opened it, and found it was from the organizers of the Leap Forward Fashion Design Competition, informing her that her work had passed the preliminary round and had entered the final round.

Making it to the finals means that Jiang Yunzhi has to complete a physical sample garment within half a month and hand it over to the organizers, where it will be exhibited at the finals.

At that time, the judging panel will score the entries based on multiple factors, including creativity, marketability, fabric, and design, and select the gold, silver, and bronze award winners.

"Half a month is such a short time, Yunzhi, you have to keep it up."

"Little Jiang, I'm rooting for you!"

“I just checked the list of finalists for the Flying Leap, and Kevin from Lando is definitely in it.”

"Wow, he's really strong, winning the championship again."

"Don't let others get away with this. Maybe Yunzhi can beat him!"

"I'll bet all my spicy snacks that Xiao Jiang will win."

"Then I'll bet a pack of Mimi's that Kevin will lose."

"Want Want Milk! I'll bet you the Yunzhi Gold Award."

...

My colleague is so engrossed in gambling that he's oblivious to everything else.

Jiang Yunzhi: ?

Spicy snacks, Mimi milk, Want Want milk—that's very generous.

Lando, office building.

Zhu Haotian's face was a little gloomy. He patted the young man in the gray plaid shirt opposite him and said, "Kevin, Jiang Yunzhi from Yu Guang has made it to the finals. You'd better prepare the sample garments well for the next two weeks. You'll dazzle everyone at the finals."

"The company has high hopes for you."

Kevin appeared much calmer and chuckled, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhu, the gold medal is my for the taking. A newcomer can't threaten me."

Zhu Haotian cautioned, "Don't underestimate her; Jiang Yunzhi is quite capable."

Kevin nodded, not taking it to heart.

Having some talent and being a true genius are not comparable. Clearly, Jiang Yunzhi is the former, while I am the latter.

...

In the afternoon, Jiang Yunzhi ordered a cheese matcha to revive her spirits. It had a cloud top and no extra sugar—perfect.

She took a selfie holding up the milk tea and sent it to Yan Wenjing.

Jiang Yunzhi: [Hi]

Jiang Yunzhi: [Today's dose of happiness: I recommend Mr. Yan get the same style!]

Yan Wenjing gazed at his phone screen, his deep-set eyes softening.

nice.

Tap the image to save it to your album.

A moment later, Assistant Xu received the message and immediately looked puzzled.

"Chichi matcha?"

"Doesn't Mr. Yan dislike these sweet and cloying drinks?"

Why did I suddenly ask him to buy it?

There are also requirements: multiple cloud tops, no extra sugar added.

Assistant Xu was greatly shocked, and there was even more Genting Highlands?

Well, there's only one possibility for the CEO to act so unusually: his wife recommended it.

Tsk tsk, Mr. Yan, don't love him too much!

It made Assistant Xu want to have a sweet romance.

A short while later, a cup of milk tea was delivered to the CEO's office, completely out of place with the otherwise cold atmosphere.

Yan Wenjing took a picture and sent it to Jiang Yunzhi.
