Five years ago, Qi Zaozao was a radio DJ. Five years later, Qi Zaozao was working in real estate, as a hard-working clerk. However, the benefits were good. She had been working in the company for almost three years and was considered an old employee. She did not sell many houses a year, but the sales were not too bad either. In addition, some places in Hongcheng were opening up in the past two years, and the economy was slowly rising. Although it could not compare with City A, Hongcheng was also considered a potential stock.
As soon as the weekend was over, Qi went to work in a hurry. There was a lot to do on Monday. He had to take guests to see houses and deal with a lot of things.
"Good morning, there's a dinner party tonight. Xiaomei isn't here today, so will you accompany me?"
"Me?" Qi came to his senses early and pointed at himself.
"Who else do you think I was talking to? Who did you call out to?"
The man in front of him was only twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He was the manager of the company and also the son of the boss. The boss rarely came to the company, and it was usually Lin Shuang in front of him who made the decisions.
Lin Shuang has fairly regular facial features and graduated from a prestigious university. He came to the company right after graduation, before Qi Zaozao. Qi Zaozao rarely spoke to him on weekdays, so she didn't know why he came to find her.
"How about it?"
"No...problem..."
Qi Zao Zao was a little stunned.
Lin Shuang stretched out her hand, but before she touched Qi Zao Zao's hair, Qi Zao Zao subconsciously avoided it. Lin Shuang's hand paused, but she was not angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "Leave work an hour early, and then wait for me at Liunan Street at 6:30. I will come to pick you up."
"... ... good... ... "
Before leaving, Lin Shuang instructed again: "Dress up."
After saying that, he left.
Qi Zao Zao hasn't come back to his senses yet.
As soon as Lin Shuang left, Cheng Lin, a close colleague of Qi Zaozao, hugged Qi Zaozao's shoulders from behind and said, "I heard that Xiaomei from the PR department is heartbroken. Chen Chen also drank too much last night and hasn't come to work yet. I think you have to accompany her for drinking today."
Qi Zaozao's expression was a little strange.
Cheng Lin smiled, "You don't want to go, right? If you don't want to go, just tell Manager Lin and I'll go in your place!"
"You go and tell them."
"I'm just kidding..." Cheng Lin smiled, "Be careful with your pig's trotters at night."
Just as Cheng Lin said, Qi Zaozao was here to accompany Manager Lin to discuss matters with a major client. She was dressed conservatively, in a classic black skirt that she had bought two years ago, with a cinched waist and reaching above the knees.
They went to a large hotel in Hongcheng, in a private room that had been booked long ago. There were seven or eight people in total. In addition to Lin Shuang and Qi Zaozao, there were six old men, who were probably in their forties. Among the men at the table, she was the only woman.
Qi Zaozao's mouth was almost frozen from smiling since she came in. She listened to the old men talking and laughing, but in her heart she was wondering whether Xiaoxuanxuan had eaten yet.
"Is that Miss Qi? Come on, don't just sit there and drink!"
Before Qi Zaozao could say anything, Lin Shuang personally brought over the red wine and poured it for Qi Zaozao, "Have a drink with Mr. Zhang."
Qi Zaozao couldn't refuse, so she just toasted with a glass. But it was an effect. She and Mr. Zhang drank, and there were several other CEOs here. After a round, Qi Zaozao drank six glasses in a row. Not to mention, there was another toast. The dinner had only started for half an hour, and she had already drunk half a bottle of red wine.
Qi Zaozao used to be able to drink a lot, but that was when she was in college. In recent years, she has basically not touched alcohol at all. She drank half a bottle of red wine at one time. She didn't feel dizzy at first, but the aftereffect of the wine was quite strong.
"Ms. Qi, it wasn't you I saw last time. Is this the first time we meet? Let's have a drink—"
Qi Zao Zao wanted to wave her hand, but Lin Shuang placed the wine glass in front of Qi Zao Zao and said with a smile: "Our President Zhang has a really good memory. Zao Zao, why don't you toast to President Zhang???"
Mr. Zhang looked at Qi Zaozao with a smile.
Qi Zao Zao had no choice but to bite the bullet. Soon after, the other CEOs came again. Qi Zao Zao's face began to turn red. Lin Shuang smiled and said, "I'm going to the bathroom first."
After saying that, he looked at Qi Zaozao deeply, and that look seemed to be telling Qi Zaozao to be more sensible.
Lin Shuang went to the bathroom, and Mr. Zhang sat in Lin Shuang's seat, very close to Qi Zao Zao, "Xiao Qi, what's your position at Wan Yang?"
"Just an ordinary employee."
"How much is the salary?"
Qi Zaozao really didn't want to answer, but these people were not people she could afford to offend. If she had known this would happen, she would not have come here even if she pretended to be sick.
"More than four thousand."
"Only over 4,000? How are we going to make a living? Look, a brand name bag costs tens of thousands now, doesn't it?"
"Hahaha, our Mr. Zhang has plenty of money, he can have as many brand-name bags as he wants!"
"Yes!" Several other old men immediately agreed.
Mr. Zhang looked at Qi Zaozao's breasts with lustful eyes and reached out his hand to touch Qi Zaozao's knees from below. Qi Zaozao wanted to resist, but couldn't. She could only endure it and hope that this dinner could end soon!
If it were the Qi Zaozao of the past, she might have immediately taken her bag and hit such a perverted man, but it is different now.
She is no longer the Qi Zaozao of the past.
Lin Shuang finally came back, but Mr. Zhang had no intention of getting up. Lin Shuang understood and sat in Mr. Zhang's seat.
He looked at Qi Zaozao with admiration.
Mr. Zhang pushed the issue further. While holding a glass of wine to toast Lin Shuang, he touched Qi Zao Zao's knee with his hand. Qi Zao Zao couldn't stand it anymore and had to politely say to Mr. Zhang, "Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom first."
"Go ahead." Mr. Zhang said again, "Come back soon!"
Qi Zao Zao finally came out. As soon as she left the box, she gasped for breath. She went to the bathroom, but didn't plan to go back immediately. She was not that stupid!
No matter what Lin Shuang says, she is not from the public relations department!
Qi Zaozao wandered around everywhere and refused to go back. Time passed by little by little. Perhaps Lin Shuang knew that Qi Zaozao did it on purpose, so she called her.
"Qi Zaozao? Where are you???"
"I'm sorry, Manager Lin, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, so I want to go back first."
"Where are you?"
"In the bathroom."
The phone was hung up with a bang. Qi Zaozao didn't know whether he agreed or not. Anyway, she planned to go back. However, she didn't expect that Mr. Zhang would run into Qi Zaozao at this time. He probably saw Qi Zaozao when he went to the bathroom.
"Xiao Qi, why are you here?"
"Why don't you go in?"
Mr. Zhang came towards him. Qi Zao Zao laughed dryly and pretended to be uncomfortable. "Sorry, Mr. Zhang, I feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach, so I'll go back first."
Mr. Zhang immediately showed a worried expression, "Are you okay? Do you want me to accompany you to the hospital? "
How could this old man be so ignorant
Qi Zao Zao shook his head, "No need, I can go back by myself!"
The old man was unwilling to give in. He actually reached out and hugged Qi Zaozao's arm, and touched her belly with his other hand. "You are alone, it's not safe at night. How about I rub it for you first? People call me a magician. I will get better if I rub it. It's more effective than medicine!"
Qi Zaozao looked a little embarrassed, "Mr. Zhang, don't be like this—"
"Let me help you massage it! Let's come over here—"
Mr. Zhang used his hidden strength to pull Qi Zaozao aside. Qi Zaozao couldn't struggle too much, as if she made a scene, it would only bring shame to her.
Qi Zaozao took away Mr. Zhang's hand, but the old man was shameless and stretched out his hand again. Some people around were already looking over here, and Qi Zaozao blushed.
However, Qi Zaozao never thought that the world could be so small sometimes. It was the first time she accompanied Lin Shuang out for a social event, but it was also the first time she met Pei Yifei in Hongcheng. He was originally in City A, and maybe he came to Hongcheng because of some project, but it happened to be this hotel, and they met just like that.
When she raised her eyes, she saw a pair of eyes, beautiful but without any warmth, who were watching the argument between Qi Zaozao and Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang didn't care about the gazes of people around him at all, and had a lustful look on his face.
Qi Zaozao's hands and feet suddenly stiffened.
Pei Yifei was seen coming out of a box not far away, with a clean and decisive professional woman standing next to him and a few men behind him. He was looking at Qi Zaozao with disgust and deep indifference, and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth at this time.
Qi Zaozao felt as if she was struck by lightning, and her whole body was dizzy. How could she have expected to meet Pei Yifei
I didn't know she would be here. If she had known earlier, she would have seen it.
That look and sarcasm made Qi Zaozao's heart feel as if it was stabbed by a needle.
But this man withdrew his gaze, seemed to be talking to the woman next to him, and walked towards the door.
Qi Zaozao's hands and feet were cold, and her head was heavy and her feet were light. Mr. Zhang's actions became more and more outrageous. Finally, Qi Zaozao could not bear it anymore, and she stepped on Mr. Zhang's shoes with her high heels. One can imagine how painful it was to have the thin high heels stepping on the feet. Mr. Zhang's face suddenly turned red, and he looked at Qi Zaozao with a distorted look.
But Qi shook off Mr. Zhang and left early.
"you-"
She didn't know what doing this now meant, nor did she know what Lin Shuang would say tomorrow, but she was eager to leave this place and forget the sarcastic look and disgust just now.
Five years ago, she left in style, but five years later, she appeared in his sight in such a miserable state, without any pride or dignity.
Unexpectedly, Qi Zaozao encountered a downpour as soon as she came out of the hotel. She was soaked all over. Qi Zaozao didn't know why she was so unlucky.
But the more helpless child was still behind. In order to catch the next bus, Qi quickened her pace and went to the platform in the heavy rain. However, the oncoming vehicle did not slow down, and the water in the mud pit splashed all over her, making her look particularly embarrassed. (To be continued)
