At the dinner, Xiao Zichen and Ming Haozhe became the most popular guests. Sino-Ocean and Yaohua cooperated to win this project. Those who did not get the project also wanted to get closer to them, and maybe they could get some of the pie.
.
No, one night, the two of them were surrounded by people like stars holding the moon, and one by one they rushed over to toast and get close to each other.
"Mr. Wu, come on, I'll drink this glass of wine for our Mr. Xiao."
Liu Mingyu, the assistant, is really competent. He spent the whole night fending off Xiao Zichen's drinks.
"Mr. Xiao, your assistant is more qualified than Jiang Yucheng. You feel relaxed this night."
Ming Haozhe finally took a chance to rest. He walked up to Xiao Zichen with a wine glass in hand and said with envy in his eyes.
Xiao Zichen glanced at a man not far away who had already fallen down drunk, and then at Liu Mingyu, who was talking and laughing with a group of bosses, and said with a proud look on his face.
"Mr. Ming, when choosing assistants in the future, you must consider it more comprehensively."
After hearing this, Ming Haozhe shook his head helplessly and glanced at the drunk and fainted man not far away.
That was his assistant, Han Mofeng. He was outstanding in all aspects and was on par with Jiang Yucheng. However, his only fatal weakness was that he had the courage to drink but not the capacity to drink.
No, not long after the dinner party started, he was already defeated. He, the president, had to fend off the drinks for his assistant, and he had to take care of him back to the hotel later. It was too frustrating for him as the president.
At this time, Xiao Zichen looked at the time and saw that it was already past nine o'clock in the evening. The dinner had lasted for three hours and there seemed to be no plans to end.
Ming Haozhe saw Xiao Zichen looking at his watch and asked curiously.
"Mr. Xiao, did you make an appointment with our Director Mo for a bedtime phone call?"
Ming Haozhe just made a joke, because today, he personally watched Xiao Zichen make no less than five phone calls to Mo Yurou, almost every place he visited, and then report the itinerary.
Fortunately, Ming Haozhe worked for Mo Yurou's company and knew their chairman, otherwise, he would have thought that Mo Yurou was a tigress. Anyway, he had never seen that couple report their itinerary in such detail.
After hearing this, Xiao Zichen shook his head, then glanced at Liu Mingyu, who was busy not far away, and said.
"I have to rush back to Luo City tonight, and I will have to worry about the follow-up matters, Mr. Ming."
When Ming Haozhe heard this, he who was still a little drunk suddenly woke up, looked at Xiao Zichen in disbelief, and said.
"Mr. Xiao, it's almost ten o'clock. You have to rush back so late. Do you really miss us, Mr. Mo?"
After hearing this, Xiao Zichen smiled lightly, with a happy smile on his face, and then looked at Ming Haozhe and said provocatively.
"You don't have a girlfriend, you can't understand."
With that said, Xiao Zichen picked up the wine glass he had put aside, stood up and walked towards the crowd.
Ming Haozhe, who was left aside, suddenly felt his heart being stabbed hard. Looking at the back of Xiao Zichen leaving gracefully, he took a sip of wine and cursed.
"Holy shit, isn't she just a wife? Who cares about that! I'm going to report a work-related injury when I get back, it's too hurtful."
Saying that, Ming Haozhe rubbed the direction of his heart and then walked over.
"Mr. Xiao, you have skipped a lot of drinks today. You can't skip this one drink."
Just as Xiao Zichen walked over, a young director of the Tourism Bureau came over with a glass of white wine in his hand. It might be the effect of alcohol. His whole face was red, and he smelled of alcohol when he spoke.
As he said that, the director grabbed a wine bottle from somewhere and poured wine directly into the wine glass in Xiao Zichen's hand.
Liu Mingyu on the side saw this and immediately came over. Just as he was about to block the wine for Xiao Zichen, he was pushed away by Xiao Zichen.
"Director Hao, I'm sorry for tonight. I have an obligation at home not to drink too much. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't even be able to get in the door this time. I drank this glass of wine and I have to rush back to Luo City in a while.
, I’ll excuse you now.”
Xiao Zichen didn't want to stay here any longer, so he raised his wine glass and said to the people in front of him. After speaking, he drank the white wine in his hand in one gulp.
The red wine glass contained almost two ounces of white wine, and it was still 53-degree alcohol. After drinking this glass, Xiao Zichen couldn't help but frown.
Even though he had taken medicine to protect his stomach, after drinking this cup, Xiao Zichen felt as if his entire esophagus and stomach were on fire, causing a spicy stomachache.
When Director Hao heard this, he laughed mischievously and said jokingly.
"I didn't expect that Mr. Xiao is also a henpecked person. This shouldn't be the case."
Xiao Zichen didn't mind others teasing him like this, and said with a proud look on his face.
"I can't help it, man! Once you find a woman you love, you'll be happy to have her take care of everything. Everyone, I'm sorry, I have to take a step first."
Everyone did not embarrass Xiao Zichen and waved to him one after another.
After that, Xiao Zichen hurriedly left the banquet. Before leaving, he told Liu Mingyu to take good care of Ming Haozhe. Seeing how Ming Haozhe looked, he was probably getting drunk.
The driver had been waiting outside early in the morning. As soon as Xiao Zichen got in the car, the driver drove towards the highway intersection.
Maybe he drank too fast just now. Not long after getting in the car, Xiao Zichen felt dizzy. He put down his chair and said to the driver.
"Call me when you get there."
Then, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Haotianju, when she went to the hospital for a physical examination yesterday, Fu Yusheng arranged a leg physiotherapy for her. At this time, the doctor was giving her acupuncture to recover. Zhao Keer sat beside him and the two women chatted. Time went very quickly.
It's over.
At around ten o'clock in the evening, after finishing her leg physiotherapy, Mo Yurou was sent back to the bedroom by Zhao Keer. After taking a shower, she was already lying on the bed.
Mo Yurou remembered her agreement with Xiao Zichen, picked up her phone and looked at it, but there was not even a text message. After thinking about it, Mo Yurou dialed Xiao Zichen's number.
At this time, Xiao Zichen, who was gradually falling asleep in the car, heard the sound of the mobile phone and picked up the phone in a daze, without looking at the caller ID, and answered it directly.
"Hello, who's there?"
Maybe because he was drunk, Xiao Zichen's words were a little slurred.
Mo Yurou on the other side of the phone frowned slightly when she heard this, sat up from the bed and asked with concern.
"Zi Chen, have you been drinking?"
Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Zichen, who was half awake from the wine, adjusted his seat slightly and said in a low voice.
"Well, don't worry, I didn't drink much. Mingyu kept blocking me. Aren't you still asleep?"
Xiao Zichen looked at the time and saw that it was already very late.
Mo Yurou listened and said.
"I was getting ready to go to bed. I was worried about you, so I gave you a call. Is your dinner over there?"
Xiao Zichen was feeling a little dizzy at this time. He was chatting with Mo Yurou while rubbing his temples with one hand. When he heard Mo Yurou's question, he responded softly.
"Well, I'm back."
Hearing this, Mo Yurou felt a little relieved and said without asking any more questions.
"Then you go to bed early later. I'm going to bed too. Good night."
"Good night……"
Before Xiao Zichen could say the next words, he heard a beeping sound coming from the phone and Mo Yurou had already hung up.
Xiao Zichen was stunned for a moment, then smiled fondly, put away his phone, fell down and continued to sleep.
Mo Yurou and Xiao Zichen also turned off the lights and went to sleep after finishing the phone call.
Late at night, close to one o'clock in the morning, Haotianju was extremely quiet. The entire community, except for the security guards who regularly patrolled the night, was almost silent.
At this time, a black business car slowly passed through the silent night, its bright car lights illuminating the asphalt road in front of it.
A few minutes later, the commercial vehicle stopped at the door of a three-story villa. After it stopped, the car did not turn off. The driver in the cab got out of the car and opened the rear door.
"Mr. Xiao, we're here."
At this time, the car was parked in front of the villa where Mo Yurou lived. Because the gate of the courtyard was closed, the driver could only park the car on the side of the road.
Xiao Zichen slept all the way. After three hours, he was mostly awake from the alcohol. When he heard the driver's voice, he slowly opened his eyes, then looked outside the car, and then got out of the car.
"You go back first. You don't have to come to pick me up tomorrow. Just go to Yucheng to pick up Liu Mingyu and Ming Haozhe in the afternoon."
After saying that, Xiao Zichen walked to the iron gate.
In the past, apart from using a key, this door could only be opened from the inside, but Xiao Zichen often didn't bring a key. This time after Mo Yurou came here, Xiao Zichen installed a fingerprint lock here.
Putting his hand on it, he heard a beep sound and the door lock opened. Xiao Zichen pushed the door open as gently as possible and walked in.
As the iron door slammed shut, the surroundings were peaceful again.
In the courtyard of the villa, there were a few sparse night lights on. Along the winding stone road, Xiao Zichen came to the door of the villa. After opening the same fingerprint lock, Xiao Zichen walked in.
The first floor was dark except for the corridor.
Xiao Zichen changed his shoes and was about to go upstairs directly, but after taking two steps, he lowered his head and smelled his body, frowned slightly, then took off his coat and threw it at the entrance, then quietly went upstairs, all the way towards
Went to the master bedroom.
In the bedroom, a warm yellow night light was on beside the bed, and Mo Yurou sleeping on the bed was faintly visible.
Xiao Zichen stood at the door for a while, without walking over, but looked at it for a while, then turned and entered the bathroom.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Zichen, who had taken a shower and changed into pajamas, walked out of the bathroom. When he got close to the big bed, he smelled his body to make sure there was no smell of tobacco or alcohol before he lifted the quilt and lay down in it.
Mo Yurou had already fallen asleep. Xiao Zichen's movements were very gentle and did not disturb Mo Yurou. Looking at the peaceful Mo Yurou through the light, Xiao Zichen felt at ease and immediately hugged Mo Yurou into his arms.
