Chapter 60: The boat in the gutter will capsize sooner or later
"Aren't you pursuing Tang Zhiwei? Why are you looking for me now? Aren't you afraid that she'll be angry?"
Zhou Hai felt that this was a good idea. "I invited her to dinner that day because she did me a favor. I wasn't pursuing her. But it was Miss Shi who made me fall in love at first sight. I'll never fall in love with anyone else in this life."
love at first sight?
In her eyes, love at first sight is always just lust at first sight.
How can you easily fall in love with someone just based on their appearance without knowing their temperament or family background?
This kind of liking is really absurd and ridiculous.
"Sorry, I'm obsessed with looks. I never date men who are less than 60 points in looks. I'm afraid I won't be able to eat."
Zhou Hai was stunned for a moment, and the next second he instantly realized that the woman was teasing him, and he became furious.
"How dare you mock me?"
Although he wasn't a handsome guy, he wasn't ugly either. How dare this woman call him an enemy for his appearance?
Zhou Hai was so angry that he wanted to grab her wrist and drag her into the bathroom to teach her a lesson, so that this ignorant woman would know how powerful he was.
But before he could grab her wrist, he felt a kick from behind. His body fell forward uncontrollably and he lay on the ground in a mess, grimacing.
Fu Zhiyao walked up, picked up Shi Yin's hand and examined it carefully. He was relieved when he found that there was no injury.
"Why are you here?"
"Ji Yan tagged everyone in the group to have dinner here, and I thought you would come so I came."
Shi Yin understood, "Then let's go eat."
"Eat your mother! How dare you two do this to me? Do you want to die? Do you know what my family does?"
Zhou Hai originally wanted to stand up and hit Fu Zhiyao, but he backed off after looking at his face.
Isn’t this the second generation ancestor of the Fu family?
Fu Zhiyao reluctantly let go of her hand and said, "Yinyin, go ahead. I'll come find you later."
"No." Shi Yin held him back. "There are so many surveillance cameras here, don't get yourself into trouble."
Fu Zhiyao suddenly smiled. She really did care about him.
"This store is owned by a friend of mine, and I also own a stake. Don't worry, I'll be fine."
Shi Yin still didn't let go of him, "Be good, don't be willful. It's not worth it for someone like this."
The most important thing is that the idiot guy knows that he and Wen Jin had dinner together. What if he was beaten by Fu Zhiyao and accidentally exaggerated and said something he shouldn't have said, wouldn't that cause trouble for him?
She also didn't want these people to know each other's existence, especially someone as impulsive as Fu Zhiyao, as it would be bad if they got into trouble.
The colleagues were chatting in twos and threes, and the atmosphere was very lively. Some of the sharp-eyed people saw Shi Yin pulling Fu Zhiyao back, and couldn't help but sigh in mockery.
"Yo yo yo, the two of you have such a good relationship?"
Shi Yin loosened her grip on his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense. We just met by chance."
A smile appeared at the corners of Fu Zhiyao's eyes, and the unhappiness of the past few days disappeared without a trace in an instant.
It was like a child who, after being yelled at by his parents, was given a piece of candy and instantly calmed down. It was as if he was filled with boundless energy again, and his heart and eyes were filled with the shadow of Shi Yin.
After dinner, everyone left.
Fu Zhiyao personally walked Shi Yin back to the company's underground parking lot. Along the way, Fu Zhiyao chattered to her about the progress of the decoration, and Shi Yin responded once or twice.
Fu Zhiyao let out a long breath as he watched Shi Yin drive away. He stood there, watching the car's taillights gradually disappear from his sight, but he still didn't get up and leave.
I felt empty inside, and it seemed that all my emotions were lifted up by Shi Yin's every smile and frown, or even a word.
The next morning, everyone in the design department arrived early. Director Xu would announce the final spot for the ST Asia competition that day.
Shi Yin was no exception and came early in the morning.
Sure enough, there was a bouquet of flowers on the table. It was obvious that they were sent by Fu Zhiyao.
Five minutes later, Director Xu appeared in the design department.
He glanced at Shi Yin, and when he saw her looking at him, he quickly looked away.
"We previously asked everyone to submit a manuscript and we will internally evaluate it and select the best one to participate in the ST competition."
"According to our internal meeting, the final candidate has been announced. Congratulations to Zhang Ying for securing another spot."
"The ST competition will last for a month. During this time, Zhang Ying and Ji Yan don't need to come to the company starting next Monday. They should focus on preparing for the competition. If they succeed, it will be a great honor for Yuan Ning."
Shi Yin's face was calm. Sister Lin had told her last night that the last spot should be hers if nothing unexpected happened.
Now it has suddenly changed.
Everyone was congratulating Zhang Ying, but deep down they were all extremely annoyed and even felt that their manuscripts were no worse than others.
Shi Yin picked up the cup of water and stood up and walked towards the tea room.
"What a pity! Sister Lin said at the restroom door yesterday that the last spot would be yours, and I heard it too. Shi Yin, you must be very disappointed now, right?"
Ji Yan had a sarcastic smile on her face, looking like she was gloating.
For some reason, she found it interesting to see Shi Yin defeated, and she felt happy.
Shi Yin didn't look at her. He took a sip of coffee and leaned against the counter, his tone flat, "Did you do this?"
Ji Yan sneered, "So what if it's me? So what if it's not me? I just want to tell you, don't argue with me. Since you're staying in the company, then just be a nobody and don't be too high-profile."
She has always been a top student since she entered the Ji family. Whether in school or in the circle, she has always been flattered and praised by others.
But he didn't expect that after coming to Yuanning, Shi Yin would always surpass him.
She is the eldest daughter of the Ji family, what is Shi Yin?
Are you worthy of stealing the limelight from me?
She spent half a million to get Director Xu to change his mind and choose a foil who was not as good as herself.
If Shi Yin had just guessed that Ji Yan had done something, now she was sure that it was Ji Yan who did something.
"You can't participate in a competition of this level. If you go with me, I'll be ashamed of my own identity."
Shi Yin tucked her drooping hair with her delicate, white hands. "A boat in the gutter is bound to capsize sooner or later."
"What do you mean?"
Shi Yin stood up and walked in front of her, each half a head taller than her. His cold and unfettered gaze fixed on hers, like a beast staring at its prey in the wilderness, giving people the chills.
Ji Yan swallowed subconsciously, "What are you doing?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to tell you that since you think I'm too high-profile, I will definitely make you even more unhappy in the future."
