Chapter 22 - “Brother, I’ve Found The Most Beautiful Woman In City For You”
The spring night slept quietly; it was dawn before anyone knew it . Her husband was gone .
The next morning, Shi Jian lightly slapped her face in front of the mirror; her complexion was great . Being young was good; her skin was unblemished in the slightest . She poked her face, reminding herself that she shouldn’t squander her money with her youth .
Otherwise, you would need hyaluronic acid injections ten years later, got it?
She hurriedly ran two laps to exercise her body, preparing for her pregnancy in the future . She arrived at the general office early, relaxed and energized . Shi Jian wondered if she was the one who arrived earliest that day . She didn’t expect someone else to be more diligent than her .
Unexpectedly, this person was Zhao Yilin .
Zhao Yilin wore the appropriate work clothes and waited at the general office . Her expression seemed a bit nervous, and she probably didn’t expect the one who showed up early to be her . A face that was painted white darkened two shades . To be honest, Zhao Wenwen was much more attractive than Zhao Yilin on the attractiveness scale . No wonder Zhao Wenwen always spoke with haughtiness everytime she talked about Zhao Yilin .
“Hi, good morning!” Shi Jian passed by her, greeting her with a good mood .
Zhao Yilin ignored her with a neutral expression . Indeed, young women had a thin face and couldn’t coexist after a quarrel .
Shi Jian left her alone and went directly to the break room to brew coffee . The free coffee recently offered to the employees wasn’t bad . After bumbling for five or six minutes, she came out holding a cup of piping hot americano coffee . She lowered her head, sniffed contentedly, and ended up bumping into Yi Pei .
She didn’t expect Yi Pei to also come in so early today .
Emily still hadn’t arrived, so Yi Pei had no one to make his morning coffee . Probably because he saw the cup of coffee in her hands, he quickly instructed her: “Shi Jian, make a cup for me . ”
“Yes, Vice President Yi . ” Shi Jian replied . It was not a big deal; she happily served the boss .
“Yi-gege . ” Zhao Yilin suddenly interrupted, “I can make coffee pretty well . I make all the coffee my dad drinks……”
Yi-gege…… Shi Jian couldn’t help trembling with the coffee cup in her hands . Luckily, she didn’t drop it . No wonder Zhao Yilin was all high and mighty yesterday . It turned out she called Yi Pei “Yi-gege” . Their relationship was more intimate than she thought . But when Zhao Wenwen married Yi Pei in the future, “Yi-gege” would have to turn into “Xiao Gufu” 1 .
So, would she make it, or would Zhao-meimei 2 make it? Shi Jian glanced at Yi Pei . If they didn’t need her, then she would go back to her desk and work .
“Shi Jian……” Yi Pei had no hesitation at all . He turned his head and continued saying to her, “You, just deliver it directly into my office when it’s done…… Hurry up . ”
Hurry up . He added that because he saw that she moved slowly .
“Oh, alright . ” Shi Jian returned to her desk with her own coffee first; she nevertheless had to put her own coffee down . Yi Pei wanted her to hurry, so being a mere intern, she must immediately, instantly, and speedily make him a coffee! It was only a pity that she had to let the coffee that she’d just made cool . After hesitating a bit, she still took a sip, but her action was too vigorous, and she accidentally scalded her lip . It hurt so much that she immediately raised a hand to cover her mouth, and pulled out two napkins .
“Shi Jian . ” Behind her, Yi Pei called her name again .
Yi Pei was still there? She used a napkin to hide her mouth and turned her head . Yi Pei was standing next to Zhao Yilin . He elucidated: “No need to hurry that much . Drink yours first . ”
Oh . But the boss empathized her; she can’t just pretend to be a scallion . Shi Jian flew to make Yi Pei’s coffee, and passed by Zhao Yilin and Yi Pei in the middle of it . Yi Pei was still speaking to Zhao Yilin . He was quite intimate with Zhao Yilin, maybe because they were familiar with each other . He didn’t speak to Zhao Yilin as scrupulously as he spoke to her . Yi Pei said to Zhao Yilin: “It’s not that the general office doesn’t suit you, it’s only that since you entered Yi Mao Real Estate through signing a student intern contract, you still have to obey the arrangement from the human resources department . ”
Shi Jian heard this one sentence . So, Zhao Yilin entered Yi Mao Real Estate, but not the general office .
In the break room, the coffee machine emitted an indistinct buzzing noise as it worked . She could still hear Yi Pei’s voice speaking outside: “You should stay in the human resources department for the time being, and enter the general office when it is suitable . ”
A little bit of impatience could be heard in Yi Pei’s voice . Even if the Yi family and the Zhao family had a connection, he still rejected Zhao Yilin’s request .
“Shi Jian is also a student intern, how is she suitable……” Zhao Yilin asked .
Yi Pei replied: “Yes . She is very suitable . ”
Shi Jian thought as she listened . She lowered her head when she heard Yi Pei’s words . She felt that right now, Zhao Yilin was still confused to unexpectedly ask so bluntly . Actually, the past Zhao Yilin wasn’t that amazing; she was just always Yi Pei’s secretary . Then she published a bestselling book that made a million sales . The main point was that Yi Pei was illustrious, and everyone beside him also glittered . This situation was just like an article that she’d seen before: Li Jiacheng’s chauffeur only heard Li Jiacheng’s phone calls everyday, and could still turn into a rich person .

Li Jiacheng…… Ye Jiacheng……
Ai, why did she think of her husband again? She shut her eyes and concentrated on making the coffee .
When Yi Pei’s coffee was finished, Zhao Yilin was already gone . Her other coworkers had already slowly filed in . Emily also arrived in a rush . Shi Jian handed Emily the coffee, “Vice President Yi’s coffee . You can deliver it . ”
Emily was two minutes late, and was worrying exactly about Yi Pei’s morning coffee . She hurried over, and thankfully said: “Little Shi, you really have my back, thankyouthankyouthank……”
“You’re welcome!” Shi Jian raised her eyebrow, and nimbly returned to her seat to work . Holding her original coffee, she took a sip . Not bad; it was still warm .
Inside, Emily entered holding the coffee and knocked on the door . Yi Pei stood by the clothing rack with his back facing her . He was taking off his overcoat, assuming the person who entered with the coffee was Shi Jian . He pondered something internally . He asked the person behind him as he undid a button on his shirt: “Who taught you your driving skills?”
Emily was somewhat baffled, thinking that Yi Pei suddenly cared about her, and even caring about her learning to drive . Then she apprehensively and bewilderedly replied, once again showing off her husband: “Even though I registered in driving school, it’s still my husband who taught me more . ”
Husband……
Yi Pei turned, putting away his moodiness, and said to Emily: “You can put down the coffee . ”
Emily: “Yes, Vice President Yi . ”
Because Zhang Kai flew to Hong Kong, Shi Jian’s workload immediately increased . Shi Jian sat in front of the window and stretched . The window was bright and clean, and the sunlight outside was just right . She suddenly kind of wanted to accompany Zhao Wenwen shopping again . People are just not aware of the good things . When she accompanied Zhao Wenwen, she wanted to work, and when she worked too much she wanted to accompany her shopping . Otherwise, at this time she could be having afternoon tea with Zhao Wenwen .

Zhao Wenwen sent her a text: “Shi Jian, I’m going skiing next Tuesday, want to come?”
Shi Jian put her phone aside and promptly flipped through Yi Pei’s schedule . Very good . At 6PM next Tuesday, Yi Pei had dinner with Zhao Wenwen . Very good . She immediately replied to Zhao Wenwen: “Vivi, aren’t you having dinner with Vice President Yi next Tuesday?”

After a while, Zhao Wenwen replied: “Hehe, it's just two people having a meal, nothing interesting . ”
She had an idea . Shi Jian’s mind worked, planning to say a little lie . She earnestly replied to Zhao Wenwen character by character: “Are you really going skiing? What a pity, Vice President Yi has meticulous plans for the dinner next Tuesday . ”
Hehehehehehe . Shi Jian lightly swiveled her chair; she was really too smart . Zhang Kai wouldn’t return by next Tuesday, so Yi Pei and Zhao Wenwen’s dinner would naturally be left to her to arrange, but the concrete details wouldn’t be left up to her! Making a small surprise would be easy . For example, pulling in a saxophone player for a performance in the middle of their meal, or finding someone that could do magic tricks to pull a rose out of thin air .
Truly the best of both worlds . Not only would Zhao Wenwen not go on the skiing trip, maybe Yi Pei would also think that she was good at handling things .
Then Zhao Wenwen replied: “Really?”
“Really . ” She let out a breath, and continued, “Vice President Yi specifically instructed me…… aiya, how could I tell you about it? Vivi, you must pretend to not know, or Vice President Yi would fire me . ”
Finally, Shi Jian felt a flutter of anxiousness . When she said that, Zhao Wenwen indeed canceled her skiing trip: “Alright, then I won’t go skiing anymore . I will have dinner with my fiancée next Tuesday . ”
Bingo! Shi Jian made a victorious gesture . Did this count as her saving Zhao Wenwen’s life?
Saving a life gained you a seven story pagoda . Excellent, excellent . Lord, please bless and protect Ye Jiacheng and make him fall in love with her quickly . Oh matchmaker god, please don’t pull random strings for Ye Jiacheng anymore .
Please, please, thank you, thank you, thank you……
Cough cough, the matchmaker god’s injustice means she didn’t pull the wrong strings, the one who pulled the wrong strings was clearly the sidekick Gao Yanfei .
Why did Gao Yanfei have to worry for no reason? A single dog worrying about another single dog, wasn’t this pathetic? But how can one be a person without being a little caring? He knew Ye Jiacheng had already dated Shi Jian once before, even if it was for less than twenty-four hours . Actually, he really did have some desire towards Shi Jian . Only, if he pursued Shi Jian right now, his friendship with Ye Jiacheng would basically be over . If he got a better girl for Ye Jiacheng, and then pursued Shi Jian, then the situation would be respectable . There were feelings, and then there was righteousness .
In the end, Ye Jiacheng ate vegetarian, really .

Gao Yanfei had already accompanied Ye Jiacheng to a vegetarian restaurant twice . Tofu salad, vegetarian dumplings, vegetable stir fry, cucumber rolls…… Ye Jiacheng ate every dish with gusto .
The kind of man Ye Jiacheng was could be described in one sentence: doing savage things with an amiable, pristine mask .
He was clearly a vicious carnivorous man, yet he unexpectedly changed to an all vegetarian diet, and had even persevered for ten days already . Gao Yanfei was dumbstruck . Ye Jiacheng gave him a single sentence explanation: “Eating vegetarian accumulates merit . ”
Gao Yanfei didn’t believe him and snorted .
Ye Jiacheng set down his chopsticks and slowly leaned back against his chair . He looked helpless and teased: “I can’t help it, my mom nagged me so much that I can only do as she says . She calculated my fortune for me recently, and made me abstain from drinking, eating meat, and temptation . She said to cultivate my mind and spirit, otherwise…… I’ll be haunted by a goblin that will harm me greatly and leave me subject to chaos . ”
These words were just pure nonsense made up by Ye Jiacheng . In actuality, his hormones had been overactive recently, leading to an ulcer forming in his mouth . Mama Ye told him to eat more fruits and vegetables, remember to not give in to temptation, and to quickly find a girl to settle down with .
It was so troublesome that he would rather just cultivate for a while, and conveniently polish his temperament at the same time . The Ye family were originally vegetarian and charitable anyway; he’d gotten used to it a long time ago .
Being a friend like dogs in a pack, Gao Yanfei didn’t continue to listen to him . He abruptly interrupted the current topic, and took out a photo . There was no need to keep it a mystery, so he just put it on the table and slid it towards Ye Jiacheng . Then he winked and over-exaggerated: “Brother, I’ve found the most beautiful woman in City for you . ”
The most beautiful woman in City…… Ye Jiacheng abruptly started coughing . He was choked by a piece of tofu that accidentally slipped down his throat! He lowered his head and glanced at the photo . He didn’t expect Gao Yanfei to gain a sense of humor after not seeing him for several days .
If this was City’s most beautiful woman, then Shi Jian was the most beautiful woman in the universe .
……
Where was the most beautiful woman in City?
The most beautiful woman in City even had some fame . She was a pianist at Jia Shi Platinum . Now what was Jia Shi Platinum?
Jia Shi Platinum was City’s most high class, most stylish, and at the same time most sophisticated nightclub . Jia Shi Platinum had a total of three floors, different from other nightclubs . The first floor was a high class concert hall . Rich people could sit and listen to music while chatting about their projects . The atmosphere was very relaxed and one could do as they wished . Then, when they were about done with chatting, there were many kinds of entertainment on the second floor, enough to satisfy a lord . If normal entertainment wasn’t enough, no problem, let’s head up to the third floor!
Shi Jian left work and found a small noodle shop to eat at . Her forehead glistened with sweat as she ate, sparkling and translucent . The rims of her ears inexplicably heated up . The more she rubbed them, the more they itched . It was very dark outside . Just as she nearly finished her bowl of noodles, Yi Pei sent her a text: “I’m at the third floor of Jia Shi Platinum, come over for a bit . ”
