Summer camp ended, and Shi Sui prematurely ended her university life, but she didn't have time to relax for even a second—

On the day the Gu Group went bankrupt, the group's employees didn't hear a word of it; they had a meeting in the morning and lost their jobs in the afternoon.

Shi Sui established a company and, with the system's help, recruited all the named employees from the original book, all under the system's promise—

System correction: [This isn't just empty talk! It's all based on the original book! These employees are all talented individuals; bringing them under our wing will help us build a business empire!]

Currently, Shi Suihe's business empire includes: real estate, new energy, artificial intelligence, aerospace technology, biopharmaceuticals...

With Gu Chenyi arrested, it's no surprise that this outlaw will end his life of crime in prison.

The ending was somewhat sudden, but everything was predictable.

After everything settled down, Shi Sui embarked on the company team-building activity that "Brother Leopard and Jiang Ming had been talking about for a long time."

After the show "Superstar Student", Professor Wang, who appeared on the show, took the initiative to contact EAR Technology and started a project collaboration.

With a tech industry heavyweight at the helm, the revelation that EAR Technology's directors were just college students did not have a negative impact on the company; on the contrary, it served as positive marketing.

Therefore, after the spring recruitment season, EAR Technology's employee count skyrocketed, exceeding 1,000 in just six months.

Because of the large number of employees, the company can only organize paid team building activities for each department.

But no matter what she does, Shi Sui is always with Xu Chaomu.

The team building activity was held at the Banshan Hot Spring Resort.

Lush forests, refreshing meadows, hot springs dotting the hillsides, and beautiful designer villas.

There were forty or fifty people participating in the team building activity; they were all veteran employees of EAR Technology.

We started out working together in an office converted from an internet cafe, and our relationship became as close as sisters, with a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere.

Upon arrival at the resort, accommodation will be arranged.

Everyone handed their ID cards to Brother Leopard, who would then coordinate their accommodations.

Since there were more people than rooms available for this team building event, Brother Leopard reluctantly decided to share rooms with two people each, allowing them to freely choose their roommates.

He just finished speaking.

A scene from the play unfolded.

In a flash, everyone paired up and found a roommate.

Well, actually there's no need to look for anyone. When you're taking the bus up the mountain, you'll naturally find someone you have the best relationship with and share a room with.

Shi Sui was sitting with Xu Chaomu.

As luck would have it, there are odd numbers of both girls and boys, meaning that one girl and one boy are destined to share a room.

Shi Sui optimistically comforted Xu Chaomu: "It's okay, there should be extra rooms. We can each have our own room."

Xu Chaomu nodded with a slight smile, then glanced at Brother Leopard expressionlessly.

Leopard noticed the gaze and winked at him.

Xu Chaomu: "..." Suspecting that she had been set up.

Leopard leaned against the front desk, calling out the names of the employees. The employees whose names were called and their roommates registered together and received their room cards.

I watched as men and women took their room cards and went upstairs in the elevator, until only a few people remained.

Brother Leopard smiled gently: "Xiao Xu, are you sharing a room with Xiao Sui?"

He was practically beaming with excitement.

Xu Chaomu looked up, her clear eyes already seeing through her: "Are there no rooms left?"

Brother Leopard made everything perfectly clear: "This is the last one."

Shi Sui exclaimed in surprise, "Huh?" and subconsciously looked at Xu Chaomu.

But they happened to meet each other's eyes in mid-air.

The boy had clear, bright eyes, pale skin, and clean black hair that covered his neck; he was as beautiful as a handful of newly melted snow.

He recalled Shi Sui's bright eyes and upturned lips when she mentioned having a private room.

Xu Chaomu concealed her momentary disappointment and lowered her eyes: "Shi Sui, you'll have a room by yourself. I'll share with Brother Leopard and Jiang Ming."

It was Leopard's turn to be surprised: "Huh?"

A lone man and a lone woman in a room, their passion ignited—you were given a chance but you didn't seize it!

Leopard looked at Xu Chaomu with a disappointed expression.

Xu Chaomu's gaze swept over indifferently, her clear, cold eyes revealing a hint of chill.

With a more imposing presence, Leopard Brother immediately transformed into Cat Brother, helplessly saying, "Alright then, Little Xu, you..."

“I can live with Xu Chaomu!” Shi Sui raised her hand, then tilted her head and asked him, “Xu Chaomu, is that okay?”

A typical elementary school student raises their hand, tilts their head to ask him a question, smiles brightly, and has big, bright, sparkling eyes.

He seemed to know nothing and was easily fooled, completely unaware of his ulterior motives.

It was as if I was melting into her smile, and my reason was completely shattered.

The shadows cast by long eyelashes fell into those beautiful eyes, melting the frost and snow into a deep, dark darkness.

Xu Chaomu's Adam's apple bobbed, and her voice was low: "I can."

Leopard Brother's face lit up again: "There's only one room left. There's nothing we can do about it. Jiang Ming and I, two grown men, are already crammed into one bed. It's already small enough. Xiao Sui, you're so understanding. I'll leave Xiao Xu to you."

Shi Sui's eyes crinkled into a smile, and she obediently gave an OK sign: "Okay, no problem."

Leopard subconsciously looked at Xu Chaomu again, only to find that the boy still had a cold face towards him.

Ha, you don't even appreciate the opportunity I created for you.

Relying on Shi Sui's attitude, Brother Leopard immediately gained confidence and straightened his back.

He put one hand on Xu Chaomu's shoulder and the other on Shi Sui's shoulder: "You two are classmates, so you're already the closest and have the best relationship. Don't overthink it if you share a room."

Xu Chaomu glanced at him: "Your mouth is stretched all the way to your ears, stop smiling."

He didn't directly address the topic of Brother Leopard, and neither did Shi Sui.

Shi Sui obediently spread out her hands: "Brother Leopard, room key."

After receiving their room keys, they realized their rooms weren't on the same route as Leopard's, so they separated at the front desk.

The villa's overall style cleverly blends Chinese aesthetics with a modern minimalist feel. With the butler's directions, we quickly arrived at our room.

Shi Sui swipes open the door with one hand, pushes it open, and the motion-sensor lights inside turn on.

The room is decorated in a log cabin style, with a large area of ​​wood and warm colors, creating a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. Outside the huge sliding door is a private courtyard, where a private hot spring is nestled among the bamboo shadows and rising steam.

Shi Sui walked in, her gaze fixed on the center of the room, and she froze.

Xu Chaomu closed the door casually and followed her gaze: "There's only one bed."

Shi Sui bit her lip, stammering slightly, "Ah... well, the housekeeper just said this room is the biggest. I thought it would be different from Brother Leopard and Jiang Ming's room, with two beds..."

Xu Chaomu tightened his grip on the suitcase and looked down at her: "I can go find Brother Leopard and the others."

It's not too late yet.
