"mr. zhu, you must be joking. if you really wanted to refuse, you wouldn't have come out to have a meal with director zhou." although jiang zhixin was also smiling, her tone of voice maintained a polite distance away from him.

"you are wrong, miss zhixin. i did not come here to eat today for him, zhou yi." chairman zhu shook the wine cup in his hand, his eyes sweeping across her chest.

of course, jiang zhixin understood the meaning behind his words. she pursed her lips into a slight smile, "director zhu, you're not here for me, are you?"

"of course it's because of you. you just don't know how much i like you." chairman zhu was mesmerized by her smile, wishing he could hold her in his arms right away.

"if that's the case, then i'll take this goblet of wine as my thanks for your love." as she spoke, jiang zhixin lifted her own wine gla.s.s and gently clinked it with his, taking the initiative to drink.

when chairman zhu saw how straightforward she was, he naturally raised his head and poured all the wine in his cup into his own mouth and drank it all in one gulp.

thus, jiang zhixin seized the opportunity to pour him a third cup of wine and coax him to drink it.

chairman zhu and the beautiful woman stood to the side, completely unable to withstand jiang zhixin's attacks. she toasted them to the point of drinking every single cup of wine.

not long after, a bottle of wine ran out.

he wanted to get up and bring jiang zhixin to the hotel, but jiang zhixin made an excuse saying that zhou yi had said that he would be back soon. she insisted on waiting for him in the restaurant before ordering another bottle of wine.

more than an hour later, after the second bottle of wine had been drunk, jiang zhixin also felt a little tipsy. chairman zhu beside her was already blushing, unable to contain the alcohol.

"i say, miss jiang, i really can't drink anymore. let's go to the hotel to rest first. don't wait for zhou yi, he won't come." chairman zhu waved his hands and said in a vague manner.

"director zhou said that he would come here right after he delivered your daughter to us. he said that he would definitely be able to do it, that he would definitely come here." jiang zhixin insisted on waiting for him.

"idiot, even if he was trying to coax you, you would still believe him. "good, let's go upstairs." chairman zhu, however, was unwilling to wait any longer. he reached out and grabbed jiang zhixin's arm, about to pull her up.

"mr. zhu, i'm really sorry for being late. there's a bit of a traffic jam." at this time, zhou yi's figure appeared behind them, accompanied by a burst of apology. he quickly walked in front of them.

the moment jiang zhixin saw zhou yi, her eyes turned red.

in the end, he still wouldn't let her accompany this old man. it seemed like she was mistaken about him.

"zhou yi, you came. i was just saying to miss zhixin that you won't be able to come. " chairman zhu looked at zhou yi and said with a drunken smile.

"i said i would come, so i will. "mr. zhu must have drank quite a bit. it seems that he had a very pleasant conversation with zhixin." as zhou yi said this, he stared at jiang zhixin with a cold tone.

chairman zhu placed a hand on jiang zhixin's shoulder and spoke with her tongue tied, "then … that miss zhixin can talk, make me very happy. "you came just in time. i'm a bit tired, so i wanted to go to the hotel to rest for a while. miss zhixin said that you would come, so i had to wait for you."

"it was my negligence. i forgot to call the two of you due to the traffic jam. "please don't take offense." as zhou yi said this, he looked towards jiang zhixin, "zhixin, chairman zhu said that she wants to go to the hotel to rest. you accompany him. take good care of him."

when jiang zhixin heard this, she looked a little dazed. she thought she had heard wrong.

what did he just say?

let her accompany him to the hotel?

"director zhou, i didn't hear what you said just now. please say it again." her red eyes looked at the man in front of her as if she were looking at a stranger.

even though this was not the first time he had brought her out for social meetups and drunk with others.

however, he had never asked her to go to a hotel to take care of others. normal people knew what it meant to go with someone else to a hotel.

"i said that zhu dong drank too much. accompany him to the hotel and take good care of him." zhou yi looked at her without blinking, slowly enunciating each word.

when jiang zhixin heard these words, she felt as if something had ruthlessly hit her head. she felt dizzy and her entire body trembled.

"miss zhixin, let's go." at this time, chairman zhu hung one of his hands on jiang zhixin's body as he leaned on her, taking advantage of her.

looking at zhou yi's face, jiang zhixin knew that he was not joking.

he was really going to give her away.

for a few seconds, she even thought that zhou yi was just trying to scare her.

now, looking at zhou yi's serious expression, she understood that he was ridiculously wrong.

perhaps this man had long since treated her as an item, something that could be traded at any time.

in the past, he had not truly given her away, not because he was reluctant to part with her, but because he felt that those deals were not enough for her to give up her body.

ridiculous, too ridiculous.

just two minutes ago, she had seen him here and thought he was here to save her.

she suddenly smiled and extended her hand. she used all her strength to hold onto chairman zhu's body and did her best to control her trembling voice as she choked with sobs, "director zhu, let me help you out."

"good, good. let's go. zhixin, let's go …" chairman zhu was drunk, his entire being was a little cloudy. he put a hand on jiang zhixin's shoulder and followed her footsteps as he staggered out.

zhou yi looked at their backs as they left. he didn't do anything to stop them, but the expression on his face was even colder than before.

the next morning at eight-thirty, she meixin came to jiang zhixin's private villa and rang the doorbell for a long time. only then did she see little bing open the door and see she meixin. she did not invite her in, but stood at the door and said to her, "zhixin has no time to see you today. you can go back first."

"why? i had an appointment with her yesterday. " he meixin was naturally unwilling to leave as she asked.

"zhixin, you're too tired. you didn't sleep last night, and now you're resting. if you have something to say, you can ask for another time." little ice said, about to close the door.

"no, i can't wait for the next time. is she in there? i'll go in and ask her a few questions. it won't take up too much of her time. " as he spoke, he forcefully barged into the house, disregarding little ice's protest.

xiao bing did not expect her to be so persistent, and accidentally squeezed into the room, "i say, are you being reasonable or not? how can you force your way into a house? do you believe that i'll call the police and have them take you away? "

"even if you call the police, i want to see jiang zhixin today." she meixin did not care about that. she did not find jiang zhixin in the living room, and instead rushed to the second floor.
