Chapter 7 Chapter 7 A choking feeling suddenly surged in my throat

As the saying goes, the gradual improvement of public facilities is one of the signs of the continuous progress of civilized society.

More than a decade ago, China already provided free essentials to public restrooms, and the quality was undeniable. However, some high-cost establishments, in order to highlight their attentive service, often lavishly expand on the variety and variety of essential items.

For example, the restaurant Sui Yi made a reservation at today is famous for its customized sanitary napkins, tampons, etc.

Because the bathroom cubicles are stocked with supplies, the cabinets for necessities in the corridors are more decorative, used to showcase the restaurant's elegant aesthetic and style, and are often not used.

It was quiet here and there were few people around, so Sui Yi stood by the counter to answer the phone. However, he didn't expect that there would be a customer like Wen who had never seen the world and wanted to come and take a look at the "exhibits" inside.

"Excuse me."

Even without the electric current, the voice was still very familiar, brushing past his ears gently like a wet feather.

Sui Yi subconsciously pictured the image of its owner in his mind and immediately turned back to look, causing the tight collar on his neck to be pulled slightly painfully.

The woman was tall, wearing a loose washed blue short-sleeved shirt, white shorts and lace-up sneakers. She didn't have any extra accessories, and her eyes were deep and rich, adding a bit of complex and indescribable charm to her refreshing youthfulness.

Sui Yi was caught off guard and was stunned for a moment, not realizing what she was saying.

So her slightly hot body moved closer, and she raised her hand to open the cabinet door. The muscle lines on her arm were faintly visible during the movement, and her impeccable profile flashed by, and then she turned and left.

In a few seconds, although she clearly did not emit any fragrance, Sui Yi only felt a suffocating feeling in his throat suddenly rising, and at the same time, bright colors that seemed familiar appeared, blurring the picture in front of him, making him keep his legs together as if they had taken root, unable to move.

And something was struggling in my chest—

"Boom boom boom boom"

"Boom."

"Mr. Sui, do you think this is okay?" the man on the other side repeated, tentatively pouring him a cup of tea, the porcelain making a soft sound against the tabletop. "If you're not satisfied with anything, feel free to ask us to change it."

As soon as the crisp sound came out, Sui Yi felt his heart return to its original place and felt a little real.

He adjusted his glasses, his expression cold.

The chief assistant beside him pushed the contract forward at the right moment, tapping his fingertips at certain places, as if carelessly brushing across the paper.

"The delivery time is advanced to December." Sui Yi glanced at it and said coldly.

"This... you know, we can't sacrifice quality for speed. Our company has always been very strict in quality control. Otherwise, we won't be able to make new breakthroughs and win the favor of the Sui family..."

Sui Yi lowered his head and clicked on the top dialog box. He deleted and typed again, typed again, and deleted again without looking up. "The Xinmiao project cannot be delayed. Every step must be completed according to the original efficiency. Otherwise, there is no need to sign this contract."

Risveglio: Have you had lunch?

Seeing the awkwardness on the other side, Assistant Wei spoke up to smooth things over: "Boss Yu can do a good job of quality assurance, so he can naturally do a good job of efficiency. Otherwise, if such a large project goes wrong, both sides will suffer in the end, and people will laugh at us if we tell others about it. We want a win-win situation, don't you agree?"

He still showed no intention of giving in.

【ww：［Picture］】

[ww: My friend treated me to a luxurious restaurant]

The person on the other end of the dialog box replied almost instantly.

The food in the photo was indeed enough for more than one person. She only revealed a small part of her smooth chin and a familiar T-shirt, which made Sui Yi sure that he was not dreaming.

[Risveglio: Is it a boyfriend? ]

"Ah, Assistant Wei Te is right."

Mr. Yu originally didn't think he could gain much advantage. In the end, it was more important to win this cooperation and get connections with the Sui family.

She gestured to her assistant to re-print the contract, and, wanting to lighten the mood, she started a small talk: "Assistant Wei, you're not even thirty yet? You're as young and promising as President Sui. When I was your age, I was still ordering male models at the bar every day, and my mind wasn't on my career."

"Mr. Yu is a late bloomer. Your achievements far exceed mine. You have always been my role model." Wei Xi brewed a pot of tea himself and responded appropriately during the conversation.

Sui Yi clenched the unresponsive phone, his eyes gloomy. He signed the checked new contract, and without saying anything more, he said goodbye and got into the car to leave.

"Boss Sui, shall we take you back to Tianjing now?"

Sui Yi turned off the phone screen and hesitated for a moment: "Go to Qi Chi."

The two people in the front row were a little surprised.

Qi Chi is a beauty salon owned by the Qu family. Its name means "you can stay here under the Hengmen Gate" and it only serves high-end customers in the circle. However, the workaholic Sui Yi has never been too lazy to go there and remains indifferent no matter how Dr. Qu invites him.

Could it be that the president has changed his personality today?

Wei Xi knew very well that a good assistant must always keep his mouth shut and be less curious about his boss's affairs.

She didn't ask any more questions. She simply opened her memo and carefully reviewed this week's schedule with her CEO before saying, "Boss Sui, I'll be taking a week's menstrual leave starting tomorrow. I've already handed over the relevant matters to Assistant Qin. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."

"Um."

As soon as the black Cayenne slowly came to a stop, someone knocked on the window.

The waiter probably wouldn't dare to do that. Sui Yi probably guessed who it was and opened the car door directly.

"Ayi, are you surprised?"

Qu Rendong had just landed in China yesterday, and thinking that his complexion had been poor due to his non-stop work these days, he decided to come here for a facial. Unexpectedly, his manager reported that he had received an appointment with Wei Te-Assistant, and he was surprised but still came to greet his friend in person.

"I didn't prepare a victory banquet for you, and now you're so anxious to ask me for it?" Sui Yi's brows relaxed, and he followed the waiter into the room. "Don't worry, Dr. Qu is honored, and I, a mere mortal, dare not neglect him."

Qu Rendong naturally didn't bother to be polite with him: "I've been waiting. I've been busy for so long, it's a good opportunity to call them over for a get-together. Oh, by the way, there's no need to call Young Master Cen, he definitely can't come!"

The beautician in the sVIP room was used to seeing clients who were either rich or noble, and always knew when the ears could be used and when not. In addition, since there was a "young master" of their own, they let the conversation pass by their ears, and just silently prepared the mask mud for the two of them and applied it gently.

Sui Yi resisted the urge to check his phone and closed his eyes. "Isn't he always the one with the most free time? Why did he go abroad?"

Speaking of this, Qu Rending immediately became interested. He turned over and sat up, waving his hand to let people go out.

"You knew Chen Heng was sick, didn't you? Her lover Bai Yueguang came back from abroad to see her, and happened to run into Master Cen, who was taking care of her at home, and Jiang Lele, who had just finished filming... Oh no, three men in one drama, and it was said that the scene was quite noisy..."

"etc."

Sui Yi suddenly felt like he couldn't keep up with the people around him. His usually sharp mind was confused by the information: "Why is Cen Xi going to take care of her? No, does Chen Heng need a doctor and a housekeeper to take care of her? Why would he need a few non-professionals like these? And who is Bai Yueguang?"

Qu Rendong said helplessly: "Ayi, I suggest you work less overtime, otherwise you will really lose a lot of fun if you are away from gossip."

Dr. Qu is usually very busy with his studies, and his only pleasure is to watch the fun, and the bigger the better, so he vowed to get his serious male boss friend into this hobby and indulge in it together.

After all, given the status of the Sui and Qu families, everyone has to bear the consequences of what is said to each other.

"That gray guy that Chen Heng dated in high school, the one with the 'playboy mom, sick dad, school-age sister, and studious boyfriend' story. Back then, they were sweet every day. Later, the cold and aloof academic went abroad for unknown reasons and they stopped seeing each other. But President Shen never took off the peony-patterned ring that the boyfriend had given him. Everyone thought he couldn't let it go, so they nicknamed him White Moonlight."

"As for Cen Xi, didn't you see that the young master has been secretly in love with Chen Heng for years?"

Sui Yi shook his head.

He was not wearing glasses, and his eyes looked confused.

"Cen Siwei is always irritating Chen Heng. Could it be because she's having too much of a good time at the company? It's all because of her love-brained brother." Qu Rendong sighed. "Women tend to be playful before they're 35, and Cen Xi isn't the type of girl Chen Heng likes. He can only wait silently, waiting for her to step up and be the perfect choice when she wants to start a family!"

Sui Yi frowned: "Is this the plot of some domineering boss's spoiled husband novel? Apart from anything else, is there no one in charge of the Cen family?"

"The others weren't as obtuse as you and saw it all. But Cen Xi made a big fuss and previously declared that he would marry no one but her. Aunt Cen had no choice but to ask him to be more restrained in front of outsiders and promised to get them engaged if the opportunity arose."

"I only know that the two families are interested in a marriage alliance, but I've never really cared about the specific story." Sui Yi closed his eyelids, his interest waning. "So, these two little weeds were so bold as to actually injure the future head of the Shen family?"

"Nonono, no, no."

Qu Rendong looked puzzled. "They probably didn't fight, but they argued quite fiercely. The young master must have lost face. Look, Cen Xi had height enhancement and a pinkening procedure two days ago. She's in the recovery phase now and can't leave the house. She doesn't want to be seen by Chen Heng."

Sui Yi commented calmly, "That's pretty stupid."

"He used to be 180cm tall. I don't know if he lied about it, but he does look a bit short. If you're not careful, people will look down on him as a second-class disabled person." Qu Rendong spread his hands. "It makes sense, actually. It's just that the young master is spoiled. I'm afraid he'll need a good rest now..."

Ding Dong

【ww: Of course not [shakes head]】

[ww: Please tell the heavens what is loyal and what is treacherous! The only man I'm in contact with right now is you, Boss R!]

...Who asked you this?

It’s not enough to just go out with your boyfriend.

"No matter how much you want to make fun of him, you have to hold it in. He's wearing a facial mask." Qu Rending glanced at him.

Sui Yi nodded, trying to suppress the curve of his lips. "Are all joint pinking surgeries so effective? Those interns in the company are always complaining about not being able to get an appointment. It's really popular."

"Not just the joints, but everywhere else as well. Even if the color is determined by genes, a boy with a pink complexion is always pleasing to the eye."

"Do you think it would be inconsistent if I did that?" Sui Yi felt like he was possessed by a ghost. Facing his friend's shocked gaze, he asked, "Please make an appointment for me tomorrow. Is it in time?"
