Snowy Night Kiss

Chapter 4 What a Show
There were few people in the daytime, but at night, lights came on one after another. The lights were so bright. As a model, Lin Qingruan had seen too many people walk into the Champs-Elysées across the street, and suddenly become famous fashion stars with gold and silver pendants all over their bodies.

She glanced across and said lightly, "Who knows, maybe I'll really step into that wealthy world in the future."

At that time, Jian Yi did not expect that her words would come true so quickly.

She also didn't expect that one day she would actually set foot in this place.

It was snowing again in Kyoto. The snow had been falling all night long, and in the morning, the branches of the trees under the red walls and green tiles were already covered with a layer of frost.

The winter dusk was approaching, and Jian Yi had just finished checking a complete set of business accounts when the night completely engulfed the eaves of the building.

She closed the computer and looked out the window. At the entrance of the sparsely populated alley, the street lights on the long street were probably out of repair and there was never a single light on. The long alley was like a road of no return that would never end.

Only the Xijiao Jingyuan opposite was brightly lit, with a clear distinction between light and dark.

A little light came on on the phone screen, and she heard Lin Qingruan on the other end of the phone talking to her in a loud voice about how magnificent the villas here were and how mellow the aged Lafite tasted.

She laughed and asked jokingly, "Do you still want to come back?"

Lin Qingruan said, "If I don't come back, there's no place for me to live here."

Jian Yi was amused by her words. After copying the files on the computer, she turned off the computer and prepared to take a rest, but then she received a call from her boss at the office.

Liu Meifeng told her that the clock had passed midnight and the report she had promised to submit the next day was also due.

Jian Yi hesitated for a moment, looked down at his watch, and asked, "Now? Where can I pay?"

Liu Meifeng sent an address and asked her to arrive in half an hour.

Seeing the address, Jian Yi smiled bitterly and joked with Lin Qingruan, "What a coincidence, now I can pick you up."

Lin Qingruan felt disgusted by the behavior of such a large company oppressing interns. She sighed deeply and comforted Jian Yi, "Just bear with it. Everyone has to go through this to make a living."

A platinum invitation is required to enter Xijiao Jingyuan.

Jian Yi didn't, so she called Liu Meifeng, who said yes and left her waiting in the cold wind for a long time before arriving.

When Liu Meifeng came, the expression on her face was not very good, and she seemed a little guilty. However, before Jian Yi could investigate carefully, she was pulled into the box by Liu Meifeng without any explanation.

"The partner said he wants to meet you, so don't say anything nonsense when you meet him!"

Being pulled in in such a panic, Jian Yi turned her head to look outside. The lights in front of her were brilliant. She stepped hastily into it before she could fade away from the darkness.

The partner's surname is Huang. There was nothing big about asking her to come, but he felt a little sorry to see a little girl rushing here at one o'clock in the morning, so he invited her in to chat.

The room was filled with people toasting each other, and Jian Yi was blocked by Liu Meifeng behind him.

She was not a stupid person, and she understood the meaning of the conversation after a few words.

At a banquet that gathered all the elites, Liu Meifeng took the finished product that she had worked on late at night and showed up at the right time to take credit.

Jian Yi smiled and just stood behind with a cold eye listening to Liu Meifeng's financial report analysis. Later on, when they were talking about which step, an account on the voucher could not be reconciled. Liu Meifeng was stuck and realized that the account was wrong, so she immediately pulled Jian Yi out again.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Huang, the new intern's account is wrong. I was negligent." The partner surnamed Huang looked up and asked, "Did you do this account or did she do it?"

Having said that, Liu Meifeng gritted her teeth and admitted it. She pushed Jian Yi behind her again and said with a smile, "How can an intern handle such a large amount of data? I did all the accounting myself, and only gave her some verification tasks at the end to train her. Who knew she hasn't finished it yet? I'm really sorry to have embarrassed you."

Jian Yi was stunned. This was her first year as an intern in the firm, and she didn't expect Liu Meifeng to be so ruthless. Not only did she steal the credit, but she also directly pushed the blame onto her.

Her eyelashes trembled, knowing that Liu Meifeng was planning to abandon her. These upper-class people had a set of watertight rules for speaking and doing things. Whether she advanced or retreated today, nothing good would happen to her.

It was clearly a Hongmen Banquet, but she had no way to deal with it.

The newly made USB flash drive hurt in her palm. She had heard about Liu Meifeng's background. Jian Yi took a deep breath, quickly analyzed the pros and cons, and forced herself to suppress her resentment and grievance.

Jian Yi bit her lower lip tightly. It was such an obvious and confrontational situation that not everyone could miss it.

But the world is not black and white, and most things do not necessarily have to be innocent. Jian Yi did not expect anyone to stand up for her, a small intern with no background.

At this time, a lazy voice sounded from the crowd -

"What a show."

The sound was like a stone thrown into the lake, scattered and unintentional, but it caused ripples in the lake.

Jian Yi saw that Liu Meifeng's face changed instantly. This crude trick was exposed. The man on the platform looked coldly, with a thin smile at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. He casually decided people's fate.

Jian Yi seemed oblivious to all this. From the moment she stepped into the room, she vaguely felt that the monotonous music was missing something.

Until his voice rang out, low like an ancient cello, and when the strings were played, there was a clanging sound, and her heart was filled with confusion.

They met without any warning, and that sharp and neat name accompanied by a mellow and pleasant voice once again struck her eardrums.

Jian Yi's memory was immediately drawn back to that snowy night. She looked up at him sitting in the world of beauty and seemed to fit in naturally.

Jin Yanchen.

The name was on the tip of her tongue, burning, and she couldn't speak.

Amid the hustle and bustle of people coming and going, she saw Jin Yanchen suddenly curl his lips and smile at her. No matter how noisy it was, he just sat there calmly, and his eyes seemed to say, look, we meet again.

Jian Yi thought that maybe the lights that day were so brilliant and romantic. She looked up at him and felt that the thin moon in the cold winter did not seem so desolate.

Things became much easier afterwards. His light words seemed like a pass, and those aggressive people stopped.

When Jian Yi walked past them, he saw their looks, two parts disbelief and three parts fear. The undercurrent was surging in this world, and it was never clear.

When I came out, I happened to meet Lin Qingruan, who was vomiting in the bathroom.

After vomiting, she developed stomach acid. She squatted against the wall, holding her stomach and gasping for breath.

Jian Yi asked worriedly whether they should call an ambulance for her.
