The Sales Executive's New Love Interest

Untitled Part 2

Song An Yi was a golden businesswoman. Therefore, each day was always busy training new members, whilst also servicing the old members attentively.

Usually after each order, the list would then enter the company's system through the foreign affairs department. Colleagues then took over the single row of tasks. It wasn't the same as before when each list needed to be properly taken care of, and each had certain conditions. However, there were still some exceptions. If VIP members of Efficiency paid for more than two years of membership and required a good consultation, even if they asked her to clean the toilet every day, she would do it. Song An Yi loved her job, and most of all, she loved money.

"Professor, do you want tea?"

Song An Yi smiled until it reached her eyes. The man in front of her was Efficiency's money bag. Zhou Mo had paid three years of payment for his membership, and had never missed his fees. He was regarded as a Platinum VIP, so she had to do her best to please this person.

Currently, this Professor was sitting leisurely in the Zhou family's study room reading. It was early winter, the warm sunshine from the window obliquely projected through the air. The scent of the tea permeated throughout the room, inducing an atmosphere nostalgic of the ancient times. This kind of atmosphere was difficult to describe as it had an ethereal feeling.

Before the story begins, let's take a look at the full-time Professor Zhou.

Zhou Mo was a visiting professor of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Arts, also known for their collection of international heirlooms and antiquities. Ah, it is also important to mention that all this was owned by the Zhou family!

During the past few years, the Zhou family owned the largest pawnshops in the capital. In 1949, due to the chaos of the situation, it had led to the influx of wealth. A lot of treasured antiques were sold into the pawnshop. Although, the Zhou family no longer have operating pawnshops as of now, the Zhou family's heir, of this generation, have still been collecting antiquities and occasionally auctioning them off.

Experts say, "The world's richest person is not a banker, but a collector." These days, regardless of whether your style was Chinese or Western, the Zhou family still had the largest collection. It was to the point where the Zhou family required strict regulations to control the management of their treasury. Also known as the World's Little Palace.

Ah, her whole day would be spent on interacting with this eccentric man and breathing the dust of ancient antiques. It was very sophisticated, no? People say Professor Zhou was handsome. She looked at him and saw he had a high nose. His facial features were akin to a knife. Deep and charming, his sharp brown eyes were hidden behind his frameless-plain glasses. He seemed like the person who had a good temperament. His physique was tall and straight. The phrase that could describe him in this moment was, "tall poppy".

[According to Wikipedia, "The tall poppy syndrome describes aspects of a culture where people of high status are resented, attacked, cut down or criticized simply because they have been classified as superior to their peers."]

Professor Zhou was taciturn, but he possessed an intimidating aura. Even if Song An Yi has known him for six months, she was still scared to be friends with him. He was mysterious which naturally made people curious, but Song An Yi wouldn't dare to inquire about his life.

"Professor Zhou, how is the taste? Today, I added mint leaves and Shengjin licorice."

Recently, Song An Yi has been experimenting with tea. She bought a variety of herbs and tea while making some unique combinations. Whether it was chamomile tea plus roses, or orange blossom tea with cinnamon leaves, she has mixed most of them. Her tea style was bold. She was honing her skills, so she could let her brothers and sisters in Efficiency taste her tea making abilities. No one wants to be a guinea pig. Therefore, she can sacrifice this Professor Zhou to become her scapegoat and try her first batch.
