Fang Zhicheng changed his clothes and called Zhu Youming. When Zhu Youming heard that Fang Zhicheng was in Qiongjin, he was very excited. He asked Fang Zhicheng for his address and offered to pick him up. After Fang Zhicheng hung up Zhu Youming's phone, he hesitated for a moment while holding the phone, and finally called Zhao Qingya. It had been a long time since he met Zhao Qingya. The two seemed to keep their distance deliberately, but Fang Zhicheng knew that he wanted to see Zhao Qingya very much.

"Zhicheng, why did you think of calling me?" Zhao Qingya had just finished a meeting and was walking towards her office.

"I came to Qiongjin to do some business, so I thought I should pay my respects to Sister Ya." Fang Zhicheng smiled unnaturally, and then mustered up the courage to invite her, "Are you free tonight? Let's have supper together?"

Zhao Qingya sighed, hesitated for more than ten seconds, and said suddenly: "Okay, how about I come and pick you up?"

Fang Zhicheng waved his hand quickly and said, "No need, I'll text you when the location is decided."

Zhao Qingya nodded and said softly: "Then I will wait for your notice."

Putting the mobile phone on the desk, Zhao Qingya took out the makeup box from the drawer, then put some powder on her face in front of the mirror. She felt that the lipstick was too cold, so she wiped it clean with a tissue, chose a pink lipstick, and applied it carefully.

After waiting for ten minutes, Fang Zhicheng sent a message to tell Zhao Qingya the meeting place. Zhao Qingya immediately called the driver and asked him to prepare the car. After closing the office door, Zhao Qingya's steps became brisk.

After Li Hui rejected Fang Zhicheng, she watched TV for a few minutes. She felt uneasy and couldn't find the reason. Finally, she called Fang Zhicheng and asked in a low voice: "Director Fang, have you had dinner?"

Fang Zhicheng saw that it was Li Hui, thinking that she might have changed her mind, and asked with a smile: "Sister Hui, I'm going out for a midnight snack with my friends, I'll give you one last chance!"

When Li Hui heard that she was not going out alone with Fang Zhicheng, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "That won't disturb you and your friends, right?"

Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "When friends get together, what we want is a lively party. It's more fun when there are more people."

Li Hui smiled and said softly, "Wait for me for a while, I'll change my clothes."

A moment later, Fang Zhicheng saw Li Hui, who was wearing a casual outfit. Fang Zhicheng looked her up and down and praised her, "Sister Hui, this outfit makes you look younger!"

Li Hui rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng and said jokingly, "So do you think the way I dress normally looks old-fashioned?"

Fang Zhicheng raised his hands in surrender and said with a wry smile: "Don't misunderstand what I mean. Sister Hui usually gives people the feeling of a strong woman."

Li Hui was in a very good mood to be praised by a young man, who was also her boss.

After waiting at the door for a while, Zhu Youming drove a Crown sedan to the door and honked the horn. Fang Zhicheng and Li Hui squeezed into the back seat, glanced at the co-pilot, smiled helplessly and shook their heads. Zhu Youming really changed his girlfriend again.

Zhu Youming pointed at the girl beside him and introduced her, "Wei Jie, my girlfriend."

Fang Zhicheng glanced at Li Hui and said with a smile: "Li Hui, colleague."

Zhu Youming smiled maliciously and stepped on the accelerator. Five or six minutes later, he arrived at the food street and chose a late-night snack shop with a good environment. Zhu Youming had already booked a private room with a good location. After ordering the menu, Fang Zhicheng took out his mobile phone and sent it to him. Not long after, he led Zhao Qingya in.

"Hello, Sister Ya!" Zhu Youming didn't expect that Fang Zhicheng had invited such a distinguished guest. He had met Zhao Qingya once and knew the power behind her.

Zhao Qingya greeted everyone elegantly and glared at Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng felt a little guilty, realizing that Zhao Qingya had not expected so many people. Fang Zhicheng leaned close to Zhao Qingya's ear and whispered, "Sister Ya, don't be angry. If you don't want so many people, I will go with you now."

Zhao Qingya rolled her beautiful eyes, rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng, and said softly in a bad mood, "Since we are here, let's make the best of it. But, this won't happen again."

In fact, Zhao Qingya didn't care that Fang Zhicheng had invited so many friends at the same time. Although she liked quietness, it didn't matter if it was a little noisy when she was with the people she cared about.

Li Hui was sitting on the side, and seeing Zhao Fang and the other person being so intimate, she felt a little disappointed for some reason. Perhaps it was because she had always been very confident in her temperament and appearance, but in front of Zhao Qingya, she suddenly felt ashamed of herself. She even mistakenly thought that Fang Zhicheng coveted her beauty, and Li Hui really felt more and more embarrassed the more she thought about it.

In government departments, the relationship between men and women is indeed extremely chaotic, especially in the investment promotion department, where one is often exposed to sensual pleasures. Li Hui has been exposed to many unspoken rules. She originally thought that Fang Zhicheng, like other men, approached her with ill intentions, but now it is a misunderstanding.

In Fang Zhicheng's eyes, Li Hui was just a capable assistant, and he really didn't think about the affairs between men and women. On the contrary, Fang Zhicheng's thoughts about Zhao Qingya became less and less pure. After experiencing the beauty of affairs between men and women, Fang Zhicheng found that his endurance in this regard had weakened a lot, so when he looked at Zhao Qingya, his eyes were no longer pure.

"Zhicheng, why are you looking at me in such a weird way?" Zhao Qingya secretly stepped on Fang Zhicheng with her high heels, glared at him, and whispered.

Fang Zhicheng didn't expect Zhao Qingya to be so cruel. He retracted his toes that were trying to invade Zhao Qingya's calf, curled his lips, and muttered, "What's strange about that? It's obvious that someone has something to hide."

Zhao Qingya shook her head in annoyance and concentrated on peeling the shells of the grilled shrimps, but she found that Fang Zhicheng pushed a plate of shrimp meat over, and her heart warmed. Wei Jie next to her glanced at Zhu Youming and pursed her lips and said, "Look at how gentlemanly Master Cheng is!"

Zhu Youming grinned and sighed, "Zhicheng is indeed very popular with girls. Why don't you sit next to him and let him take care of you?"

Wei Jie was slightly startled, her eyes turned a little red, and she lowered her head to do it herself.

Fang Zhicheng saw it all without saying much, wondering why Zhu Youming hadn't gotten over the breakup with Wang Meijia yet. This girl named Wei Jie was pretty good, but she was probably going to be ruined again.

Zhao Qingya was unhappy when she saw Zhu Youming's indifferent attitude towards Wei Jie. She reached out and took a few skewers of meat from the baking tray and handed them to Wei Jie, smiling and comforting her: "Xiao Jie, a woman should know how to love herself and be strong."

Wei Jie nodded, barely managing to make a dimple at the corner of her mouth, and smiled, "Thank you, Sister Ya."

Seeing that it was Zhao Qingya who was helping to speak, Zhu Youming didn't say much, but raised his glass to toast with Fang Zhicheng. Fang Zhicheng smiled and drank three glasses in a row with Zhu Youming.

After drinking a little too much beer, Fang Zhicheng couldn't help but feel the urge to urinate. Zhu Youming also stood up and took Fang Zhicheng to the bathroom. The two of them urinated for a long time. Fang Zhicheng glanced at Zhu Youming and sighed, "Old Zhu, you don't have to do that to Wei Jie."

Zhu Youming was slightly startled, waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Zhicheng, I know what you mean, but women, you must not spoil them. Men still have to have some dignity, otherwise, they will only take advantage of you."

Fang Zhicheng was still preparing to persuade Zhu Youming, but he just waved his hand and walked outside, and he didn't say anything more. After all, everyone has his own life, and Zhu Youming and Wei Jie are in a situation where one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. As a bystander, he just needs to fulfill his obligations as a friend.

The supper lasted until about eleven o'clock. Zhu Youming suggested going out to sing. Fang Zhicheng winked at Zhao Qingya, who spread out her hands and said with a smile, "Then let's just go crazy today."

Fang Zhicheng asked Li Hui with a smile: "Sister Hui, everyone says you sing very well, you won't refuse to sing?"

Li Hui nodded and smiled: "Then I will sacrifice my life to accompany you."

Zhu Youming smiled and said, "I am not a gentleman. I don't need Sister Hui to sacrifice her life. I just need her to sing a few of her best songs when the time comes."
