Chapter 6747
The Mysterious Guy
Who is Zhou Keying? She is the eldest daughter of the Zhou family in the western region, and she is a well-known figure in the business world.
From a young age, she was used to being in control of everything, whether it was the family business or social occasions, everything was carried out in an orderly manner under her arrangement.
She's like a precise clock, every gear running on its predetermined track, and she dislikes any feeling of being out of control.
But tonight, everything has gone awry.
There was supposed to be a multinational video conference tonight concerning a multi-billion dollar merger. The importance of this meeting is self-evident, as every detail could affect the final outcome of the merger.
Yun Yuyan, as her partner, has always been her most capable assistant, and they work together very well.
But tonight, Yun Yuyan seemed to have vanished into thin air.
When I called, all I heard was a busy signal.
Sending the email was like throwing myself into a bottomless abyss; there was no response whatsoever.
What angered her even more was that they hadn't even left a backup plan.
This multi-billion dollar acquisition project is like a building about to be completed, but Yun Yuyan's absence is like removing a key pillar from the building, making the entire project teeter on the brink of collapse.
Since Zhou Keying met Yun Yuyan, she has greatly admired this hardworking and capable colleague.
Yun Yuyan always wore a well-fitting business suit and exquisite makeup, with a firm and confident look in her eyes.
In her work, she is meticulous and rigorous, scrutinizing every piece of data and every plan repeatedly, and she has never been seen to slack off in any way.
But this time, Yun Yuyan's unusual behavior made her feel uneasy.
The doubts and worries in her heart gradually enveloped her like a dark cloud, making it hard for her to breathe.
She suddenly remembered the report the private investigator had sent.
The report was in the glove compartment on the passenger side. She reached in, picked it up, and flipped through it.
Xiao Chen's resume is as thin as an A4 sheet of paper, so simple that it seems unbelievable.
The section on overseas study experience only states "none," and the work records after returning to China are all "freelance," without specific employers or detailed job descriptions.
Even more bizarrely, the entry and exit records were encrypted, as if they had been deliberately erased.
Xiao Chen is like someone who has emerged from the mist, carrying countless secrets and making him unfathomable.
The more Zhou Keying thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. She decided that she had to find out Xiao Chen's background and what secrets he was hiding.
Zhou Keying has always been someone who is full of curiosity about new things and mysterious people. To her, Xiao Chen is like a beautifully covered book with unknown contents, which aroused her curiosity from the very beginning.
Moreover, she had previously offered Xiao Chen a collaboration opportunity, an opportunity many people dream of, but Xiao Chen rejected it without hesitation.
This rejection was like a pebble thrown into her calm lake of heart, stirring up ripples and adding a touch of resentment and an urge to find out more to her curiosity.
At that moment, she saw Xiao Chen walking towards the apartment. His tall figure looked somewhat lonely and mysterious under the streetlights.
Without giving it much thought, a resolute glint flashed in Zhou Keying's eyes as she reached out and pushed open the car door.
The car door slammed shut with a loud bang, sounding particularly loud in the quiet night.
She wore ten-centimeter Jimmy Choo heels, the heels clicking crisply against the ground, each step seeming to embody her determination. The hem of her silk dress fluttered in the night wind like a waving flag, mirroring the turbulent and restless emotions churning within her.
"Xiao Chen, stop!" Zhou Keying's cold yet angry voice suddenly rang out in the night, like a thunderclap, instantly shattering the original tranquility of the night.
The voice contained resentment at being rejected, an eagerness to find out the truth, and an unquestionable authority as the eldest daughter of the Zhou family.
Xiao Chen was walking steadily when he suddenly heard the shout, and he stopped in his tracks.
He slowly turned around and, using the dim, hazy light of the streetlamp, carefully saw the person who had come.
Even though he had traveled all over the country and seen many beautiful women with unique characteristics, he couldn't help but be slightly taken aback at this moment.
The woman in front of him was about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, a time when she was young yet exuded a mature charm.
She wore a black silk dress that clung to her body like a second skin, perfectly outlining her graceful figure.
As she moved and stood still, her skirt swayed gently, like a night sprite dancing gracefully, both lively and enchanting.
Her long hair was casually tied up, without any deliberate pursuit of an elaborate style, yet it exuded a natural and languid beauty.
A few stray hairs fell on either side of her face, adding to her charm and gentleness.
Those phoenix eyes were slightly upturned, like twinkling stars in the night sky, exuding a kind of liveliness and intelligence.
A red mole at the corner of her eye, like a cinnabar mark, added a unique charm to her, making people unable to resist taking a second look.
Her red lips were tightly pursed, revealing her displeasure and seriousness, and her fair face was filled with a questioning expression.
She exuded an aura of authority, as if she possessed an innate presence that commanded respect.
Xiao Chen stood there, his gaze lingering on Zhou Keying for a moment, before his mind unconsciously began to meticulously compare Zhou Keying with Yun Yuyan.
In terms of appearance, Zhou Keying is extremely beautiful, with delicate features that seem to have been carefully sculpted by God.
His high, straight nose stood proudly like a mountain peak.
Her rosy lips were as tempting as cherries.
Yet her beauty carries a hint of aggression, like a rose with thorns—beautiful enough to intoxicate, yet one dares not approach easily, for fear of being pricked by those sharp thorns.
Yun Yuyan, on the other hand, is the gentle and charming type. Her face is soft, her eyebrows are curved, and when she smiles, it's like the spring sunshine, warm and healing.
She is like a lily quietly blooming in spring, pure and beautiful, making people feel pity when they see her.
In terms of temperament, Zhou Keying exudes a powerful aura of someone in a superior position.
She walks with firm steps and an upright posture, as if she has an aura of her own, looking down on all living beings from the clouds, which makes people unconsciously feel awe.
Whether in business settings or social events, she always becomes the center of attention and commands the atmosphere.
Yun Yuyan, on the other hand, is more gentle and kind. Her voice is soft and her eyes are gentle, like the warm sun in winter, making people feel comfortable.
Being with her doesn't feel oppressive or restrained; instead, it allows you to relax and speak freely. (End of Chapter)
