Chapter 67 He is not disgusted
He Group.
When the elevator door opened, a young man in a suit and tie was already waiting there. "Ms. Si, I'm Mr. He's assistant. Please follow me."
Walking through the spacious and bright corridor, Si Tang noticed several abstract paintings hanging on the wall. One of the works with bold colors made her take a second look.
"Ms. Si, are you interested in Mark Rothko's works?" The assistant noticed her gaze.
"I just think the color combination is very unique, like an explosion from repression." Si Tang answered casually, but he didn't expect a hint of surprise to flash in the assistant's eyes.
"Mr. He would also say the same thing about this painting." He whispered, then stopped in front of a double carved wooden door and knocked gently.
"Come in." He Chenzhou's low and indifferent voice came from inside the door.
When Si Tang entered, He Chenzhou had just finished reviewing a contract. When he saw her come in, he nodded slightly.
"Deputy Director. Please take a seat."
The entire office was understatedly luxurious, with a simple gray and white hue. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows stood a forest of tall buildings. He Chenzhou sat at his desk, his handsome and distinguished features imbued with a perfectly measured indifference, and he exuded a restrained yet dangerous aura.
Si Tang sat opposite him.
"I heard that your new series, 'Weiyang,' incorporates the ink-wash gradient of oriental aesthetics. The design draft was leaked last time. I'd like to see your new design for He's 30th anniversary."
"President He has reviewed the design of the new series."
He Chenzhou's gaze subconsciously paused on her slender white wrist, and then he politely reached out to take the design draft, but the moment he took it, his fingertips accidentally brushed against hers.
However, they separated in a split second, and Si Tang didn't take it to heart, but He Chenzhou was slightly stunned for a moment.
He...wasn't disgusted at all.
He quickly returned to normal. He Chenzhou unfolded the blueprint and scanned every detail with focused eyes.
In Si Tang's sight, his thick eyelashes cast a faint shadow under his eyelids, which actually neutralized the aggressive sharpness. This man has a contradictory charm, both strong and restrained, like a volcano with a calm surface.
"Tell me about your philosophy." He said without looking up.
Si Tang withdrew his gaze and began to explain, "I wanted to utilize the unique qualities of jewelry itself, every variation in its structure, and cleverly express it through design. In other words, the design highlights them, rather than them embellishing them. Each rough stone has its own design and story."
He Chenzhou listened to her explanation, raised his lip slightly, and praised her generously, "Not bad. Compared to the previous version, it's even better."
In this way, Si Tang was completely relieved.
For the next half hour, the two of them discussed the design details in depth. To Si Tang's surprise and admiration, He Chenzhou had a brilliant understanding of jewelry design, and his several suggestions for revisions were all to the point.
The two quickly agreed on the revision direction and deadline. As she packed up her drawings and prepared to leave, the office door was suddenly flung open.
"Chenzhou! Why haven't you answered my calls?"
Si Tang subconsciously looked up and saw a woman in a red couture dress rushing in, her delicately made-up face filled with anger. Her gaze, which swept across Si Tang, instantly became sharper. "Is she the fiancée you've been hiding for so many years?"
The air in the office seemed to freeze.
Si Tang looked at He Chenzhou somewhat awkwardly. The latter was as cold as water, his face calm and motionless.
"Lin Ya, get out." His tone was emotionless, but his aura was icy cold. "Who allowed you to come in without informing me?"
The moment the name came out, Si Tang finally guessed who this person was. Si Tang had heard of the daughter of the Lin family, who worked closely with the He family.
The woman called Lin Ya didn't retreat, but took a few steps forward. "I called over a dozen times! Why are you ignoring me?"
After saying this in a slightly aggrieved tone, he immediately locked his gaze on Si Tang again, but suddenly felt as if he had seen this woman somewhere before. Before he could come up with an answer, He Chenzhou spoke again.
"Ms. Si is a partner of the He Corporation. Please respect her." His voice dropped dangerously low. "What I do is none of your business."
Lin Ya's face flushed red, she finally knew who this woman was.
Si Tang, the eldest daughter of the Si family, was the person her best friend Si Xi hated the most! And now she also hated the most!
She's already married! When had He Chenzhou ever defended a woman like this? This married woman must have seduced him!
"We grew up together, and you actually say it has nothing to do with me? Everyone knows that I have liked you for so many years! Brother Chenzhou, you must have been bewitched by this vixen! Wake up, she is married!" Lin Ya started yelling.
He Chenzhou had never thought Lin Ya was so noisy before. Somehow, the words "she's married" echoed in his ears for a moment, unusually clear.
"It's unreasonable." He Chenzhou rubbed his eyebrows. Just as he finished speaking, his assistant finally pushed the door open and came in quickly with two security guards.
"Ms. Lin, I already told you that Mr. He is discussing cooperation, please don't bother me anymore!"
Lin Ya was still screaming as she was taken away, her voice gradually fading away in the corridor. The office returned to silence, and an awkward silence spread.
"I'm sorry you had to see this." He Chenzhou turned to Si Tang, his tone softening. "Lin Ya is the daughter of my father's business partner. We did grow up together, but she misunderstood some things."
Si Tang nodded in understanding. "Mr. He is very outstanding. It's normal for someone to pursue him. I'm fine. If it were like in the TV series, he would have been slapped directly."
Hearing this, a smile flashed across He Chenzhou's dark eyes, which were as deep as pools.
However, Si Tang still found it a bit strange.
If a man of He Chenzhou's stature truly had a fiancée, it was impossible for her to completely avoid social events. The most outrageous thing was that even his childhood sweetheart didn't know who she was. It was as if...she didn't even exist.
Si Tang shook her head and decided not to dwell on it. This was just another business collaboration, and the client's private affairs had nothing to do with her.
"My assistant will take you down in a while. Send the design draft directly to me after it is revised." He Chenzhou regained his composure, as if the farce just now had never happened.
Si Tang nodded, "I won't bother you for now."
She consciously left the room first and turned around to see her assistant coming back.
"Vice President Si, this way please." He pressed the elevator button.
On the other side, in the basement of Haiyuan.
Fan Yi stared at the Sky Eye screen that unfolded like a light screen, as if he wanted to stare a hole in it.
"What's so good about him? He can't even figure out the human females around him." Fan Yi snorted coldly, silently reducing Si Tang's score against He Chenzhou to negative in his heart.
