Chapter 1

That day, Su Orange’s dream came true.

October in the north of the capital is still hot, the tree cicadas have no life like a long voice chirping, the branches and leaves do not move, obviously has entered the fall, but still give a person a kind of summer in the middle of the illusion.

Su Orange least like this kind of hot and dry night, uncomfortably tugged the body of the wrap skirt, ear from time to time came the boss’s broken thoughts.

“The ones who are coming tonight are all big shots with big names, double your year-end bonus if you entertain them well.”

“The two that don’t like to wear makeup, remember to go to the restroom to fix your makeup, don’t come out with a miserable ghost face to scare people.”

“All accompany well, accompany well, I have extra rewards ……”

Before Su Orange’s patience ran out the woman finally ended her sermon, lightly lifting her chin she took the lead and pushed the door and walked in.

Sofa lazily sitting a few people, suit buttons open, tie do not know where to go, shirt collar buttons also open a few, face dripping red, already some slightly drunken look.

Seeing someone come in, he waved his hand, “Director Liu, come, sit here.”

Liu Mei sat over while handing Su Orange and the girls a look, signaling them to sit separately.

Su Orange wanted to go to the side to sit, but was stopped, and sat in the center of the seat in a formal manner. A man with a big belly held a glass of wine to Su Orange, “Ms. Su, have a drink?”

Su Orange and the girls came with a mission, before they came, Liu Mei explained that they must entertain Party A well, as for what is meant by entertaining well, of course it is to drink and play well.

Liu Mei is an extremely career-minded woman, as long as she can get promoted, she is willing to do anything. It is also because of this urgent mind, so treat the following employees more harsh than sympathetic.

Originally, Su Orange didn’t have to come tonight, but her best friend and colleague Zhao Xiaoxiao was suddenly unwell, so she took over.

Su Orange’s eyelashes lightly trembled and said, “Good.”

The man was one of the collaborators, and although his words were a bit light, his movements were quite disciplined and didn’t dare to do anything.

Su Orange finished two glasses of wine with the other party in a row, when she saw him pouring her another glass of wine, she hooked her lips and stopped it, “How dare you bother Mr. Ma, come on, I’ll pour it for you.”

Su orange took the wine bottle from the man’s hand and slowly filled it up for the man, there is no man who doesn’t like a well-behaved and supple woman, Mr. Ma first stared at Su orange’s white jade-like fingers for a moment, then his eyes fell on her face.

Among so many companies that cooperated, only this woman in front of him was the most exquisite looking.

Palm-sized face, fair and red skin like water can be pinched out, features are not the kind of net face, very recognizable, eyes narrow and long, eyelashes are fine and curled, pupils are black and bright, better than many actresses are good-looking.

She also has dimples on her face, which can’t be seen when she doesn’t smile, but as long as she smiles, the deep-set pear swirls overflow with a touch of a different flavor.

It tickled the heart.

The little girl’s body shape is also very good, convex in the front and curved in the back, waist thin as if a hand can pinch over.

The fire in Mr. Ma’s heart was unconsciously ignited, his hand subconsciously reached out to touch Su Orange’s hand, and when he saw that he was going to touch it, Su Orange put down the bottle of wine, and lifted the wine glass in front of him, “Mr. Ma, let me toast to you.”

Mr. Ma’s throat knots rolled, his eyes glued to her face, “Good, drink up.”

“I forgot to ask Mr. Ma, that cooperation thing ……,” Su Orange did not say all, waiting for the other party to pick up.

“Good deal, tomorrow I’ll let my assistant send the contract over.” Mr. Ma asked, “Miss Su, what do you think?”

“Thank you, Mr. Ma.” Su Orange poured a cup for each of the two, “Happy cooperation.”

Mr. Ma’s eyes are looking straight, smiling, “Happy cooperation.”

Liu Mei timely interjects in, sitting on the other side of the man, her eyes signaling Su Orange can leave, this is also a long term tacit understanding, Su Orange and the girls play the lead, the rest of Liu Mei personally wraps up.

“I’m going to the restroom, you guys continue.” As Su Orange stood up, she heard Liu Mei ask the man, “Mr. Ma, didn’t you say that you would introduce Mr. Zhou to us ……”

The door of the private room closed, Su Orange didn’t hear the man’s later sentence, “I just contacted General Manager Zhou’s assistant, he’ll be here soon.”

Accompanied Su orange together out of the company another colleague, called five sister, the family ranked fifth, parents have little culture, get the name is also simple, called five sister, Song five sister.

Later, she changed her name to Song Feminine.

Song Charming followed Su Orange to the restroom, both drank a lot of wine, Song Charming stood at the sink to sober up, raised his hand toward his face and splashed two handfuls of water, against the wet eyes and asked Su Orange: “Look at your face is not good, what’s wrong?”

In the afternoon, her great aunt suddenly visited her, and at this time, she was tossing and turning, Su Orange was able to stand still and speak by her will.

She replied while applying makeup, “Relatives came.”

“This is also too bad.” Song Feminine frowned and asked, “Then are you still okay, or I’ll tell the director, you go back first.”

“It’s fine, I can still hold up.” Su Orange stuffed the lipstick into her bag, just zipped up her bag, the alcohol came up, her head was a little dizzy, she leaned forward, her hands against the sink countertop, lowered her head and took a few deep breaths.

“Didn’t you drink any sobriety pills before you came?”

“Didn’t get around to buying one.”

“I have it here, you drink it.” Song Feminine handed Su Orange the sobriety medicine and watched her drink it before she retracted her gaze, looking into the mirror and crumpling her eyes, “I’ll have something to stay up for tonight.”

“What’s wrong?”

“I heard that the biggest one, Party A, is going to be late.”

“Which company?”

“I’m not sure, I heard that it’s an up-and-coming company with a rich and powerful boss, if we can win this cooperation case, we won’t have to worry about next year’s performance.” Song Charming applied lipstick to the mirror, pursed her lips, ah, “Their boss seems to be surnamed Zhou.”

“Zhou ……” Su Orange’s just subsided vertigo once again attacked, her heart vaguely followed the trembling, it seems that no matter how long in the past, this surname can still cause her reaction.

She laughed to herself, how silly, it can’t be him.

Song Feminine was still talking about the news she had heard from the trail, “You don’t look at it as an upstart company, the capital is very strong, the head office is in the United States, and Beijing North is the branch, and ah–”

Song Feminine was drawing eye shadow, she liked the kind of eye shadow that had a bigger color difference, it looked very flamboyant. Su Orange was just the opposite of her, she liked soft colors, not too big of a color difference, and even less overly flamboyant.

Of course, this was also attributed to her good skin tone, in fact, she just didn’t wear eye shadow, as usual, she was delicate and charming.

“And what?” Su Orange was rarely interested in strangers, and didn’t hold back from asking a question.

“And I’ve heard that this Mr. Zhou not only has money, but also has a good look, and there are a lot of women who are pursuing him.”……” Song Charming mentioned that the man’s eyes were glowing, and she couldn’t stop talking.

Su orange temperament soft, not accustomed to interrupting other people’s speech, and so on her passionate speech finished, she asked: “How do you know? Don’t say he is a new person just returned to China not long ago.”

“Aiya, the north of Beijing is such a big place, the smell of brined meat can be smelled by blowing a gust of wind, what other secrets ah.” Song Feminine raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Orange through the mirror, “I still have his picture in my cell phone, do you want to see it?”

“How do you have his photos?”

“Someone else forwarded it to me.”

“Oh.”

“Eh, don’t you oh ah, do you want to see it or not?” Song Feminine looked like she was anxious to share gossip with her little sister, “You believe me, if you look at it, you will definitely fall in love with him.”

Song Feminine has always exaggerated her words, it would be a hell to believe her, Su Orange was lack of interest, shaking her head, “Don’t look, not interested.”

“This is a beautiful man.”

“I wouldn’t dare to be interested in a beautiful man.”

“Eh, Orange,” Song Feminine called Su Orange’s nickname, her finger picked her chin, “I’ve always had a question I wanted to ask you.”

“What question?”

“Two years into the job never saw you have a boyfriend, what do you mean, you wouldn’t have been hurt by a man, right?”

“……”

Song Feminine understood in a second and scolded, “Which dog man is so visionless to hurt our Orange’s heart.”

Su Orange followed her words and said, “It’s indeed a dog man.”

As soon as the words fell, Song Charming let out a cry and said while looking at her cell phone, “The director said that Mr. Zhou has arrived and wants us to go back quickly.”

When Song Feminine almost walked to, she realized that her eyeshadow box fell in the restroom, she patted Su Orange’s shoulder, “You go first, I have something fell in the restroom, I’ll go get it.”

Saying that, she turned around and walked back in big steps.

Su Orange glanced at her, her eyes fell on the closed door of the private room, not knowing why, a few panics were born in her heart, as if something was about to happen.

She hesitated for a few seconds, reached out and pushed open the door of the private room.

Like a Pandora’s box releasing a dream, she saw a familiar figure that she hadn’t seen for years, a black high-fashion suit, black shirt, dark tie, eye-catching wristwatch, reserved without a trace of dust.

The light seems to be afraid of disturbing him, the shine is a little bit darker when shooting down, but it is still difficult to hide his soul-stirring handsome face.

Especially his narrow phoenix eyes, still as deep and charming as in memory.

The lines of the side of his face are a little different, with sharp angles and three-dimensional curves, not as juvenile as before, but more mature and stable.

The unruly and untamed eyes also converged a few points, looking at people with an inexplicable and indistinguishable sense of coolness.

People around him are toasting to him, his face expression is indifferent, should be very casual. Hearing boredom, the bone knuckle finger will knock a cup wall, the sound is not heavy power but not small, the noisy voice suddenly a lot lighter.

Everyone swallowed their saliva and continued to compensate for the smile, “Mr. Zhou, in the future, in the north of Beijing what you say is what, we all listen to you.”

“Right, right, we look up to General Manager Zhou.” The others chimed in.

Zhou Yuchen shallowly hooked his lips and said, “I wouldn’t dare.”

Crowd: “To be, to be.”

As the compliments continued, Su Orange’s brain seemed to go down, her eyes crashed straight up.

Four eyes met, and she heard her own violent heartbeat, ferociously, like a trapped beast hitting her ribs.

It was as if something had…broken.

Unspeakable sourness hit her heart, and Su Orange’s fingers holding the doorknob sank into her palm.

This was not the first time she came to socialize with Party A, but it was the most difficult time for her. She did not remember how she greeted him or how she sat down, and by the time she reacted, Mr. Ma came to toast her again with a glass of wine.

The slender fingers holding the glass were trembling, her heart was also trembling, but her face was smiling, before she would have politely refused, but now she would not do anything, not even struggle, raised the glass and the other side of the glass lightly touched each other, and then tilted her head up and drank the cup of strong wine.

Wine into the throat with a spicy feeling flowed into her stomach, like a fire, baking her every nerve is shaking.

Actually …… she doesn t have much alcohol.

Liu Mei was talking to Zhou Yuchen about something, “Mr. Zhou, these are the elites of our department, you will definitely have unexpected gains if you cooperate with us.”

The man’s eyes fell on the dark red wine, the corners of his lips hooked up if they seemed to, and he said a very inexplicable sentence, “It is indeed quite unexpected.”

Saying that, he looked at Su Orange.

Su orange ostrich-like didn’t dare to look at him, took the time to comb and straighten her hair to hang her head, the fingers resting on her knees pinched into the flesh through the skirt.

After the pain, the thoughts only clear a few points, how did she forget, he has always been arrogant and uninhibited, nearly killed her half of the love in his eyes this kind of prodigal son is just a rainbow after the rain, come fast and fade fast.

Even leave not the slightest trace.

She had also dreamed of the return of the prodigal son, and had truly expected them to be each other’s destiny, but a dream is still a dream, and the moment she woke up, all that was left in her hands was the residual warmth blown away by the wind.

Su orange do not remember how much to drink, the discomfort surged, she covered her lips to the restroom, lying on the toilet and vomited for a long time, vomit to the end of the people are out of breath.

The restroom door opened again, someone walked in.

Su orange in front of her eyes appeared a bottle of water, the lid loosely open, she reached out and took it, unscrewed the lid, tilted her head back and filled a large mouthful, rinsed her mouth, only then remembered to thank the person who brought the water, turned around and said, “Thank–”

The face in her line of sight that was hazy with alcohol took on a bit of substance, and she saw the black tear mole at the corner of his right eye.

The most daring thing she had done that year was to secretly kiss there ……

Su Orange braced her knees and tried to stand up, tried several times, unsuccessfully, the last time, she was stood up by the man’s waist, and his low and cool voice came from her ears, with a few points of mockery.

“Su Orange.”

“Is this what you said about leaving me to have a good life?”
