The Tycoon's Vacation

  The newcomer's celebration party was booked at the highest building restaurant in Beijing, with an elevator that goes straight to the 80th floor in just 40 seconds. The luxurious and dazzling lights hidden behind the glittering gold are like a demon, luring too many people in this city of gold and silver to rush forward one after another, even if it's just a tiny bit of opportunity, they would rather sharpen their heads to squeeze into high society. The pursuit of success and desire has hijacked everyone's values, even though the city is so flashy, even though there is a harsh reality behind the flashiness, all those rabbits want to become lions, but only lions can become lions.

  Golden Israeli-imported marble paved the walls and floor, the square gold foil decoration on the wall of the hall with ancient window frame modeling is dazzling.

  The glass wall inlaid with tiger eye stone and the abstract Chinese dune landscape is breathtakingly magnificent. About 600 handmade colored bubble glasses from the Czech Republic hang on the top of the hall, and every detail of the restaurant is exquisite and has a sense of uniqueness.

  The night color spread over the city.

  The 360-degree panoramic view design of the main hall makes people feel as if they are walking on clouds, and at this height, the night view of Beijing can be seen in its entirety. The neon lights outline the horizontal and vertical lines of the city, and the string of car shadows is also diluted a lot at this height, only to see the hazy purple and red lantern-like scenery.

  Naturally, the violin, symbolizing nobility and elegance, was not absent from this gathering. The live band performed with dignity and professionalism, their melodies rivaling those of Western court musicians. Everything about the evening reeked of wealth.

  This welcoming party was not held for Su Ye alone, and recently Jing Shi had also recruited several talents to take important positions in various departments. Many high-ranking officials attended the banquet, with Nian Bo Yan as the chief guest, and as the general manager of Jing Shi Group, who is second only to one person and above all others, he was able to attend in person, which shows how much importance he attaches to tonight's banquet.

  Waiters in suits or evening dresses flitted between tables, Italian crystal glasses were neatly arranged on trays, French red wine and opening champagne, German precious ice wine wove a warm flavor that was sweet before entering the tongue, the wine light and the beautiful night color told the beginning of a grand feast.

  Nian Baiyan rarely drank, but he was chatting with several high-level officials while holding a wine glass. He wasn't dressed too formally, wearing a simple white shirt and trousers, but even so, he stood out from the crowd and couldn't be ignored. Several newcomers also entered one after another, but Su Ye was nowhere to be seen.

  "Xu Tong." Nian Boyan called out to his assistant, "Has Dr. Su arrived yet?"

  "I haven't seen her yet." Xu Tong also raised his wrist to take a look. Su Ye's special position in the company determined her special status, and in the past, all of Jing Shi Group's corporate psychological training was outsourced to training companies, but later, Nian Boyan personally listened to one session and was very dissatisfied with its training courses and professionalism, so he directly set his sights on a professional psychological institution.

  Su Ye's position is different from other departments, to put it bluntly, she is more like a soul engineer, providing emotional relief to employees under work pressure, which is also conducive to enhancing employees' cultural dependence on the company.

  Xu Tong was just about to call Su Ye, and the door of the activity room opened quietly, not making much noise, but enough to successfully attract Yan Bo's attention.

  Tonight's Su Ye can only be described with the two words "seductive".

  A Chinese red long evening dress, with seaweed-like long hair curled into a big wave that bewilders people's hearts. A few strands lightly fall on the shoulders, and the shoulders are designed with transparent red gauze, revealing fragrant shoulders and a low V-neck that catches people's eyes. It perfectly outlines the woman's swan-like neck, sexy collarbone, and perfect arc-shaped cleavage, while below the deep V, it uses a transparent effect, and the flat abdomen is covered under the thin gauze, as if trying to cover but actually revealing more, like a bright moon, showing delicate skin like snow.

  The exquisite handmade design at the back of the skirt creates a fishtail effect, which requires the owner of the cheongsam not only to have a slender waist and a delicate buttocks, but also to have long and straight legs. Su Ye's long legs are hidden under the wide hem of the dragging skirt, and her makeup tonight is subtle and understated, without any vulgarity, with an added hint of sensuality like a red rose.

  China red is the most pure and also the most challenging color in the red system, very few women dare to wear it so openly, even with a fishtail design transparent dress. But Su Ye not only wore it, but also played its effect to the extreme, her appearance was like a poppy blooming quietly in the dark night, at first no one noticed, but as she walked forward, more and more eyes gathered on her, especially men, who were openly stunned and infatuated.

  She walked far into the crowd, stretched out her slender wrist, and a waiter immediately came forward to present a crystal glass. The red wine stained the transparent glass, and her fingers seemed to be dyed with this flush as well. The red in the cup complemented the red of her skirt, and her eyes were like the stars in the night sky. The wine light gently burst in her eyes, like a brilliant firework.

  "Should we call Dr. Su over for the year?" Xu Tong asked softly as he saw Yan Baiyan's gaze still fixed on the distance.

  Nian Baiyan's face was expressionless, but after seeing the high-level executive of a certain department actively chatting with Su Ye, he subconsciously furrowed his brow and said coldly, "No need, let's start the banquet."

  Xu Tong will take care of it.

  When the banquet began, the violin music became more delicate and gentle, like a thin thread of oil in the air, which would trigger a slight tremble with just a light touch. As the general manager of the company, Nian Boyan said a few simple words at the opening, raised his glass, and the people below responded by raising their glasses, and the music also changed to a more majestic and stirring melody.

  Lin Yiyang was also stunning today, her slender white evening gown accentuating her beauty. Tonight, she toned down her usual radiance, with a strand of long hair braided into a thin braid that framed her smooth forehead, simple pearl accessories scattered among her hair, sparkling like stars, and paired with the elegant white, as if she had walked out of Greek mythology.

  "I said you're quite showy today, rarely see you wear red, but it's extremely beautiful." As for the news of Su Ye coming to work at Jing Shi, apart from Professor Ding being overjoyed, Lin Yao was also ecstatic.

  In this city where everyone is busy with their future, even meeting up with friends has become a luxury. Sometimes, despite being in the same city, you might only see each other once every half year. Some close friends who used to stick together every day during school or when they were single, after getting a boyfriend, getting married, and having kids, it's as if their life has been hijacked, and even meeting up with friends becomes a rushed affair. Lin Youyou is deeply afraid of the friendship drifting apart that can happen to almost every woman, so being able to work in the same company as Su Ye is indeed a wonderful thing.

  Su Ye glanced at the front and saw that Nian Boyan was speaking, leaning close to Lin Yao's ear and saying in a low voice, "Because this dress is the most expensive."

  "Can't tell at all, someone who is usually so stingy."

  Su Ye pouted and nodded towards the front, "Someone's treating."

  "What? You and him——"

  "Stop it, he deducted my entire month's bonus. I bought a skirt and asked him to reimburse me, which is not excessive." Su Ye was furious when she mentioned this matter, and even when choosing the skirt, she couldn't help but think of the flying bonus, her brain was jumping with anxiety.

  Lin Youyou giggled and said, "I didn't know this one counted too."

  "It's okay, I picked out a few pieces, we're the same size, next time you come to my place and pick one out yourself." Su Ye was actually very generous, people who didn't know her would think she had won the lottery or become rich overnight, which was completely different from her usual self who would bend down to pick up a coin that had fallen on the ground.

  Lin Youyou secretly wiped sweat for Nian Boyan and said, "I feel like you've cheated him out of a lot of money?"

  "He even embezzled my bonus, bit by bit. Why should I put on airs with that hypocritical beast who appears to be gentle but is actually a monster?" Su Ye glared at Nian Boyan from afar, gritting her teeth so hard that her sharp little white teeth seemed to want to grind into the sharp fangs of a vampire, biting down on his throat and drinking his blood.

  "Hey, you beast, have you learned your lesson?" Lin Yao only grasped a few key words.

  Su Ye didn't look embarrassed at all, instead she blinked her beautiful big eyes and looked at Lin Gongzhu, "Lin Gongzhu, do you believe that my little white teeth have been trained to the point where they can conquer anything?"

  "It's clear now, the beast is you, not Yan Zong."

  "Want to try again? I'll believe you're a beast first!" Su Ye choked back a laugh.

  Lin Youyou hastily surrendered, "I believe it."

  After Nian Baiyan finished speaking, a superior nodded at Su Ye's name, and she walked forward to greet everyone. Those employees who had attended her training sessions before whistled in unison, and she smiled generously, without any pretentiousness.

  According to the rules, the first dance at the banquet was initiated by the company's high-level executives. Some people were eager to try, while others hesitated and pushed each other around. But before anyone knew it, someone had started a commotion, loudly shouting "Year-end party! Su Ye!" - just one shout, but no one dared to respond, and for a moment, an inexplicable ambiguity filled the air.

  Su Ye stood there, feeling a bit awkward, and was about to make a quick escape when Yan Baiyan calmly walked up to her and extended his hand in invitation. She hesitated for a moment, forgetting what to do next, standing still with a fleeting look of confusion, until Lin Yao lightly nudged her from behind, snapping Su Ye back to reality, who then looked up at Yan Baiyan.

  Nian Baiyan also lowered his head and gazed at her, stretching out his hand with infinite patience. His eyes were calm and powerful, making her think of a vast and peaceful sea, where only the night wind blew gently, and the faint scent of wood wafted through. And then, as if possessed by some mischievous spirit, she placed her hand in his, his eyes crinkled at the corners, and his large hand tightened around hers, and with that, he led her into their first dance.

  The piano played the main melody of the opening dance, and the sound emitted by the black and white keys was light and beautiful, like raindrops splashing onto lotus leaves, gently swaying the fragrance in her arms. It seemed to be a wonderful sound from ancient nights, making people drunk and forgetful. The lights in the hall also dimmed, leaving only the bright stars in the night sky and the sparkling crystal lights indoors, which seemed to reflect into Yan Bo's eyes. His dance steps followed and guided hers, his large hands stuck to her soft back, the temperature of his palms penetrating through the thin fabric into the depths of her heart.
