SCHS - Chapter 17
Chapter 17
Even after spending some time together, Qin Zhen still hadn't fully adapted to Wen Shixue's sudden shifts. The only constant was Wen Shixue's fervent heart for making money and pursuing her career.
In the past, Qin Zhen didn't know what was inside Wen Shixue's head; now she knew it was the question of "how to make money."
Wen Shixue was indeed more eager to make money than anyone else, but where did this intense desire come from?
Qin Zhen recalled that she hadn't explicitly asked this question, but now was clearly not the time, because Wen Shixue was still leaning closer, staring at her with sparkling eyes, as if wanting to take her home and examine her closely with a magnifying glass for a few days.
Qin Zhen's brow furrowed slightly as she looked awkwardly at the beautiful little princess before her.
The little princess was wearing a white off-the-shoulder puff-sleeve dress today, confidently displaying her perfectly sculpted collarbones and round, fair shoulders. Her soft, flowing long hair draped silently behind her. The bright sunlight outside the window streamed in, illuminating her skin until it almost glowed white, making her look dreamily beautiful, like a truly noble princess hidden away in a castle.
The premise was that she didn't speak; the moment she opened her mouth, the beautiful image shattered.
Without hesitation, Qin Zhen held her arms, pushed her away, and uncharacteristically used an elder's tone: "Stand properly."
Wen Shixue's arms were held by her with gentle firmness. She blinked innocently and indeed didn't move forward.
Qin Zhen didn't immediately withdraw her hands, maintaining the posture as she asked, "What are you still looking at?"
Wen Shixue replied, "Vice President Qin, I have a pair of eyes skilled at finding beauty."
"So?" Qin Zhen asked.
Wen Shixue said earnestly, "So I'm using them to find other ways Vice President Qin can help me make money."
Qin Zhen: "..."
Qin Zhen: "Should I perhaps thank President Wen for her honesty?"
Wen Shixue humbly lowered her gaze: "You're too kind, too kind. It's just a small matter, no need to thank me."
Qin Zhen found her shamelessness both amusing and exasperating. For a moment, she genuinely wanted to tap her little head, but thankfully she resisted. Realizing what she was doing, she let go of her and turned to continue walking towards the office, letting the topic of her debut drop just like that—Vice President Qin would only rely on her talent in this lifetime!
Wen Shixue stood rooted to the spot, then belatedly looked at her own two hands. She turned and followed, raising an eyebrow: "Vice President Qin, you touched me."
Qin Zhen knew, but didn't deliberately bring it up, because her state of mind had shifted slightly after Wen Shixue gave that answer.
Love that doesn't lose dignity, fearless of worldly views, and without right or wrong.
An open, inclusive answer that not only showed Wen Shixue's attitude but also made her involuntarily open her heart a little, realizing once again that this young boss was different.
Wen Shixue looked delicate and precious, like a flower in a greenhouse needing care, but in reality, she was extremely bold in her dealings with people and never knew the meaning of the word "fear." At the same time, she was intelligent, gentle, and kind, because she understood that the most important thing in love was never gender.
Such an open and inclusive superior was rare for Qin Zhen, so she unconsciously lowered her guard and tried to touch another person's world. Perhaps one day in the future, she would take the initiative to be frank with Wen Shixue and confess her secret.
Perhaps... she thought this while calmly replying to Wen Shixue, "That was necessary contact."
Wen Shixue suddenly felt it was very unfair. Since there was necessary contact, how could it be that only Qin Zhen could use it on her, but she couldn't use it on Qin Zhen?
As a president who valued fairness and was also rebellious, she had to arrange this necessary contact for herself!
So she crossed her arms, stared straight at Qin Zhen, and said righteously, "We're both presidents, we should be neat and tidy, so I also need to have necessary contact with Vice President Qin."
Qin Zhen stopped and looked at her, subconsciously wanting to refuse, but then felt it was unfair to her. If she provoked her rebellious streak, being stared at by her every day would be even worse. So she changed her words and calmly asked, "What kind of necessary contact does President Wen want?"
Wen Shixue said with righteous indignation, "Don't worry, Vice President Qin, I'm a very reasonable person. Whatever necessary contact you've had with me, I'll use those on you. How about it, okay?"
By using Qin Zhen's standards, she wouldn't have to worry about stepping on Qin Zhen's landmines.
Wen Shixue: This young lady is truly too clever!
She wasn't being unreasonable. Qin Zhen nodded slightly and agreed. The moment she nodded, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by Wen Shixue. The warm palm instantly pressed against her skin, startling her and almost making her pull her hand back.
When people are allowed to touch a forbidden zone, their state of mind becomes completely different from before, filled with feelings of novelty and strangeness. They can't help but linger for a moment longer, feeling this different sensation more deeply.
This was exactly how Wen Shixue felt. Not only did she hold Qin Zhen's wrist, but she held it for a long time, even leading her openly
and grandly through the secretarial office, only letting go when she reached the door of the Vice President's office. She smiled with great satisfaction and said, "Thank you, Vice President Qin, for your cooperation."
Qin Zhen couldn't say whether Wen Shixue being so ostentatious while holding her hand was right or wrong, after all, she had agreed first. She lowered her eyes and calmly replied, "You're welcome, President Wen."
Wen Shixue reached out and patted her arm again: "You worked hard today too." Then she turned and returned to her own office without a trace of lingering.
It had been a long time since Qin Zhen had been treated so intimately by a same-sex person other than a friend. She looked at the door of Wen Shixue's office with complex eyes, for a moment wondering if she was being too lenient with her. After thinking about it, she decided to let it go. She was still young, so she'd indulge her. She turned and returned to her own office, leaving the people in the secretarial office staring at each other in confusion.
"Didn't, didn't Vice President Qin say she didn't like being touched?" a questioning voice cautiously spoke up.
The secretarial office fell into a dead silence. After a moment, someone broke the silence: "Don't ask."
"If you ask, it's socialist sisterly love, double standards online."
...
After receiving the task from their top boss, the design department immediately plunged into intense design work, striving to submit designs that would satisfy the boss by the deadline.
During this period, Wen Shixue, accompanied by Qin Zhen, held many meetings with the heads of various departments to stay updated with firsthand information, make decisions, and lead the company towards greater development.
Wen Shixue didn't forget to give special attention to the design department. Whether Chenfeng could develop depended fundamentally on its products. As long as the designs were exquisite and clever, and the quality reliable, there was no need to worry about not establishing a firm foothold in this industry. Therefore, she didn't want anyone disturbing the design department or causing trouble for her, especially since she couldn't keep an eye on the design department every single day.
The head of the design department was a middle-aged man named Jiang Lei. At the meeting, he firmly assured Wen Shixue that with him there, the design department would definitely not have any problems.
Wen Shixue nodded, looking forward to seeing the design department's work this time. The male lead Xu Jianfan's, and those of other inspired designers, such as the design department's star, Tao Wanwan.
Wen Shixue had a good impression of her. The things she designed were in no way inferior to the male lead's; every piece was filled with an incomparable sense of luxury and elegance. Moreover, she was very proactive, especially after receiving the task, her face practically radiating eagerness. She was a very cute girl.
As a result, the very next day, she received news from Xu Jianfan (Zhu Ziming) that Tao Wanwan wanted to resign.
Wen Shixue: "..."
She smelled an unusual scent.
