Putting everything else aside, she was now here as his employee, so naturally, she had to follow him. Mu Chenchu was standing beside her. When he saw her take two steps back, he followed suit. However, his eyes kept darting back and forth between the two of them. He kept feeling that something was amiss, but he couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.
The people sitting inside were all high-ranking officials and nobles. The Su family was the leader. Su Junyan's father, Su Qizhen, was the current Secretary of D City's Municipal Committee. The few people below him were also high-ranking officials of D City. Qin Fangang naturally knew Su Qizhen. Su Qizhen led Qin Fangang and introduced them one by one. The few of them exchanged pleasantries before taking their seats.
Xin Yu and Mu Chenchu sat in the corner of the sofa, and a middle-aged man happened to be sitting beside them.
Xin Yu recalled Su Qizhen's introduction just now. He seemed to be a deputy director or something. She wasn't sure which department he was in, but she knew that the people in this private room today were all big shots in D City's political scene who couldn't be offended.
Qin Fangang had brought Xin Yu and Mu Chenchu here for the project he had previously arranged. Actually, with Su Junyan around, it was basically not a problem. Su Qizhen was now the Secretary of D City's Municipal Committee. It was just a project, and the people under him were only here to show their faces and go through the motions.
Hence, the negotiations went very smoothly. In less than an hour, the cooperation was officially signed.
Su Qizhen received a call midway and explained to everyone, "There's something at the office that I need to attend to. You guys can do whatever you want. It's rare today, so let's have a few more drinks. Isn't tomorrow a rest day? Just remember not to drink and drive. "
Everyone immediately laughed. "Secretary Su, don't worry."
Su Junyan sent Su Qizhen out of the private room. The atmosphere was very lively. These so-called "high-ranking officials" were actually middle-aged men who were the best at these nightclubs. Usually, in front of the camera, they were well-dressed and righteous. They had been suppressed for too long. Once they arrived at such a place, they became completely different people.
Mu Chenchu drank two drinks and went to the washroom. Xin Yu sat there awkwardly. The lights in the private room were not bright, and the orange light enveloped the room. The atmosphere seemed to be a little dispirited.
Xin Yu was sitting in the furthest corner of the sofa, but she kept raising her wrist to check the time. Suddenly, a wine glass appeared in front of her. She looked up in surprise and saw the middle-aged man who had been sitting next to her from the beginning looking at her with a smile. "… Miss Leng, right? Want a drink? "
It was Xin Yu's first time attending such a social event, so she naturally didn't know much about the so-called ways of the world. She was stunned for a moment when someone came up with a wine glass. For a moment, she seemed to be unable to react.
The man saw that she was looking at him foolishly. The orange light shone on her face, and her originally fair skin had a hint of yellow glow. It gave people the illusion that she was beautiful.
Xin Yu was delicate and pretty. Her facial features were well-defined, especially her eyes, which were as black as top-grade gems. This kind of middle-aged man in the officialdom usually met experienced people. How rare was it to meet such a pure girl … The man felt as if countless ants were gnawing at his heart, and his heart itched unbearably. He couldn't help but take the wine glass closer. There was deafening music in the private room, and he took the opportunity to get close to Xin Yu's ear.
"… Miss Leng." The man chuckled. "My surname is Zhang, and I'm the deputy chief. What do you need? Feel free to ask me. "
Xin Yu's body stiffened. The next second, she subconsciously leaned her body to the side. No matter how stupid she was, she knew what this Deputy Chief Zhang meant by offering her a glass of wine.
Mu Chenchu had gone to the washroom and hadn't returned yet. There were already a few women with heavy makeup sitting beside a few people. Xin Yu didn't know when these people came in, but it seemed that they were arranged by Sheng Guang. She subconsciously looked in the direction of Qin Fangang —
He was sitting directly opposite her, and there was also a graceful woman sitting on his left. One of her hands was on his chest, and the other hand was holding a glass of wine, which she was eagerly feeding to his thin lips. Qin Fangang had a cigarette in one hand, and his eyes were narrowed as he said something to the man beside him. When someone brought the wine over, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He reached out with his long fingers and pinched the woman's cheek. Then he took the glass, tilted his head back, and finished it in one gulp.
Xin Yu frowned. She didn't know why, but she felt that this scene was — an eyesore!
Qin Fangang's every move was full of flirtation. Even in a brothel like this, he could make the women around him drunk under his charm with just a casual glance or a casual gesture.
"… Miss Leng? Miss Leng, come on, let's have a drink. What's the point of just sitting like this? Or do you want to sing? How about I sing a song with you? "
…
Xin Yu bit her lip, and her pitch-black eyes were fixed on Qin Fangang. She didn't know if the man opposite her really didn't feel her gaze, but he leaned back on the sofa and didn't look in her direction at all. His long legs were casually crossed, and the woman in his arms kept rubbing against him. He seemed to be enjoying it very much. From time to time, he would lower his head and whisper a few words in the woman's ear, causing her to purse her lips and tremble with laughter.
"… Miss Leng …"
"Deputy Director Zhang, you're too polite. It's only right that we have a drink. Here's a toast to you."
Xin Yu pursed her lips and turned her face away, but her smile was a little sulky. She reached out to take the glass of wine from Deputy Director Zhang's hand and drank it in one gulp.
Deputy Director Zhang's eyes flickered, and he immediately handed her another glass. "You're a good drinker. Miss Leng, have another glass."
Xin Yu looked at the man opposite her. He was still smoking elegantly, and one of his hands was reaching out to hug the woman in his arms … Xin Yu swallowed the spicy taste in her throat, and without any explanation, she took the glass of wine from Deputy Director Zhang's hand again …
She didn't even know how many glasses she had drunk. She only felt that … her head seemed to be getting heavier, and her vision was starting to blur. She shook her head hard, and tried very hard to open her eyes, but she kept feeling that something was blocking her vision …
Deputy Director Zhang saw that she was almost done, so he poured another glass and handed it to Xin Yu. He was practically holding her neck as he forced her to drink. Xin Yu's throat was burning. She choked on the wine and coughed violently.
Seeing this, Deputy Director Zhang immediately stepped forward considerately. He pressed his hand on Xin Yu's back to help her breathe, but his actions were clearly taking advantage of her.
Although Xin Yu was a little drunk, she wasn't completely drunk. She still had basic rationality. She felt the hand on her back moving suggestively, and soon it was around her slender waist. The man's breath reeked of alcohol, and Xin Yu felt nauseous. "Miss Leng is a good drinker. I like it. How about another glass?"
Xin Yu frowned. She was repulsed. She wanted to push the man beside her away, but she didn't have the strength to do so.
She twisted her body, trying to jump out of the wretched man's arms. Unexpectedly, the moment she moved, Deputy Director Zhang seemed to be more enthusiastic. He insisted on leaning over her. Before Xin Yu could say anything, he leaned over and pressed his plump lips against Xin Yu's cheek. "… Miss Leng, don't be shy. You're really pretty. I like you very much. Are you an employee of the Lu Clan? Does Boss Qin often bring you out to socialize? I haven't seen you before, but I've just been transferred here from City A, and I'll be in City D from now on … Miss Leng, drink with me again. Later, I'll take you on a car tour. I heard that City D … "
"… I, I really can't drink anymore."
Xin Yu reached out to press between her eyebrows. She had a headache, and her stomach was uncomfortable. She kept shaking her head. She reached out to press on the man's wrist in vain. "… Um, I … I think I'm drunk. Deputy Director Zhang, I'm going to the washroom. You, you let go of me."
"Washroom?"
The man's eyes flashed with greed. "Miss Leng, you're drunk. It's definitely not safe for you to go to the washroom alone. I'll take you there. Come on."
"Deputy Director Zhang, no, no need …"
Xin Yu shook her head. She wanted to refuse, but Deputy Director Zhang had already held her waist and lifted her up. Xin Yu's hand pressed weakly on the man's wrist. Her head was dizzy. She wanted to say something, but at the same time, her other wrist was suddenly grabbed. Xin Yu looked up in a daze. A familiar handsome face appeared in front of her eyes.
"… Boss Qin?"
Deputy Director Zhang looked up in surprise. The man opposite him had a dark expression. He was a little confused, but after thinking about it, he realized that the man was here for this woman. He thought about it and quickly said, "Well … Miss Leng is drunk. She said she needs to go to the washroom. I'll take her there."
Qin Fangang's dark eyes were fixed on Xin Yu's drunken face. He pursed his thin lips and pulled Xin Yu over without any explanation. Deputy Director Zhang only felt the person in his arms disappear. He wanted to reach out, but the moment he met Qin Fangang's eyes, he retracted his hand. The smile on his face was very forced. "Haha, Boss Qin, this … I mean well."
"I wouldn't dare to trouble you, Deputy Director Zhang. I brought her here. Since she's drunk, I'll take her back first." He glanced at Ji Yang sitting next to him and ordered in a deep voice, "Help me take care of them." He raised his voice and said to everyone, "Today, I'll be the host. Everyone, have fun. I'll take my leave first."
Xin Yu's entire body was swaying. While she was in a daze, she also heard Qin Fangang's words. His voice was deep and it seemed to be right beside her ears. He seemed to be saying something …
But wasn't he whispering sweet nothings to that seductive woman?
Wasn't he … calling another woman in a gentle voice? He even said that he missed her …
