As Beautiful As Beijing / As Beautiful As You

Vol. 1 Stars - Ch 06 Busy Weekend

Her roommate Tu Xiaomeng went to her boyfriend Zhang Heng's place, so no one was home.

As soon as she entered the room, the living room was filled with Tu Xiaomeng's various express packaging boxes. The indoor space was already small, and Shao Yichen's entry made it even more cramped.

Ji Xing lived in the master bedroom, which was quite spacious.

The room was warm and pleasing to the eye, with a wooden bookcase, a beige wardrobe, and a large pink bed. There were a few small dolls on the goose yellow sofa, and a small bunch of green leaves and flowers on the white dressing table. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner. There was also a white carpet in the middle of the open space, and light blue curtains fluttered at the end. There was a small balcony outside, with a few pots of green ivy planted.

The most relaxing moment of the day was when she turned on the lights when she got home.

But today, she hung her head, listless, kicked off her shoes and changed into slippers. Shao Yichen had noticed something was wrong. He turned her body around and lifted her chin. Seeing her wet eyes, he was stunned for a moment: "What happened?"

"Nothing." She turned her head away and rubbed her eyes, "I don't want to go to work."

He squatted down a little and looked her in the eye: "Are you in trouble, or did someone bully you?"

She didn't know how to explain, and she even doubted whether the problem was her own.

She burst into tears and shook her head: "Nothing happened. But I just feel like I'm going crazy. I don't want to go to work! I don't want to go to work!"

She was a little excited. Shao Yichen pulled her into his arms and hugged her, gently patting her back, like coaxing a child who didn't want to go to kindergarten: "Okay, okay, don't go, don't go."

She gradually calmed down, stopped crying, and sniffed from time to time.

Shao Yichen said: "If you don't want to work, don't work. It's not like no one will support you."

Ji Xing chuckled, and the snot bubbles rubbed on his clothes: "I'm very difficult to support. I have to eat good food and use good things. Don't you know that girls' things are very expensive now?"

"Then I'll work harder. You buy YSL first, and then TF later."

"You finally distinguished between YSL and TF?" Ji Xing was overjoyed, with tears in her eyes. After venting, she felt better. Wiping her eyes, she said, "I'd better support myself."

She took off her coat, hung it up, and suddenly asked, "Yichen, have you ever thought about going it alone?"

Shao Yichen was untying his scarf: "I have thought about it, but not in the short term, at least not in ten years."

"Why?"

He frowned and said seriously, "First, my current return on investment is very high, and the future promotion channels are also very clear; second, the project work I am responsible for is exactly what I want to do. This field is expensive, manpower-consuming and time-consuming, and only large companies can support it; third, the corporate culture is very good, there are many talented people, and I learn something here every day. If I go it alone, regardless of the funds, connections and experience, I will prepare for ten years first."

He has a typical engineering student's thinking. When talking about serious topics, he will explain one, two, three points, and the logic is clear.

Ji Xing nodded: "I understand."

"Why? You want to go it alone?"

She took the scarf from his hand and said: "I think about it occasionally. The main reason is that my ideas are different from the company. You are in a big company, and I am in a small company, and the internal culture is a bit lacking. Then I heard Su Zhizhou say some time ago that he wanted to start a business after graduation, and some of his ideas coincided."
