Part Two: East Earth Big Sugar, Chapter 211: Dong Yao
t audacity. When did it become his right to speak for Cheng Chen Did he even have a shred of shame left"Is anything the matter If not, I'm hanging up.""Wait, when are you going back to Senzhou Should...Just as she hadn't fully recovered, she was glad to have some downtime.
Mr. Wang always speaks in human language when talking to people and in "ghost" language when speaking to ghosts. Seeing Zhao Tingxing and him, he couldn't help but flatter Zhao Tingxing first for taking down the Senbing Group, then praised Han Li as a successful businesswoman who is not inferior to men. He said their cooperation with his company would surely be smooth sailing.
It wasn't just this collaboration. Han Li also remembered the last time she was at a business dinner where Wang Zong helped her out of a tight spot, ultimately securing that government project for her. As today's host, even though she was relatively relaxed, she still knew to show proper courtesy.
So I stood up, poured some wine for Mr. Wang, and filled my own glass too. I smiled and said, “Mr. Wang, I raise this glass to you. Thank you for your help last time, and thank you for giving us the opportunity to cooperate this time. We will do our best to provide the best service.”
Upon hearing this, Wang immediately felt impressed and happily raised his glass: "Han, you're too kind. Let's drink to our successful cooperation."
The room was full of familiar friends, everyone was watching with happiness. Even Gu Ruandong rarely showed a relaxed expression, but he didn't drink any alcohol. He promised the one at home that he would drink less in the future, so he really did, and no one dared to persuade him to drink.
Han Li held up his wine glass, about to take a big gulp, when suddenly a searing pain shot through his wrist. Someone had grabbed him; it was Zhao Tingxing again.
Under the stunned gaze of everyone, especially Mr. Wang, he narrowed his eyes and glared at her, gripping her wrist with one hand and snatching her glass away with the other.
"What are you doing" Han Li was also a bit annoyed, looking at him, thinking he wanted to embarrass her in public.
"Drinking after taking cephalosporins, are you trying to kill yourself"
Han Li was taken aback. She had even forgotten that she had taken the anti-inflammatory medicine. Her heart felt warm, but she didn't know how to react. After all, he rarely spoke in human language, and after all, it had been a long time since she had been cared for by someone.
In the room, everyone cheered, especially Mr. Wang leading the way: “Wow, our CEO Zhao actually has such a considerate side. Then this toast, let CEO Zhao drink on behalf of Mr. Han.”
Zhao Tingxing didn't speak. He held the wine that he had just snatched back from Han Li, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, then looked at Wang Zong, waiting for him to drink too.
Mr. Wang, of course, wouldn't be outdone and finished his drink in one go as well.
They started to compete with each other, taking sip after sip. The atmosphere was electric.
Gu Ruandong had the intention of watching the fire from afar, but after sitting for a while, he started to find the private room too noisy. He even found it unbelievable, considering that he had been immersed in this kind of environment for many years, and it was even a way of life before. However, he felt extremely uncomfortable here.
After sitting for a while, he walked out of the private room and to the outdoor plaza for some fresh air. The magnificent BaiLi Club before him was still an expensive place to enter, still a symbol of status in the city, but it felt strangely unfamiliar to him now.
As he was just about to head home, a message popped up on his phone. It was from YaoYao. He smiled softly and opened it, but his expression changed upon seeing the picture. It was taken just now, of him sitting in a dimly lit private room with two young girls flanking him closely. At first glance, it looked like he was embracing them both, appearing very carefree.
He immediately sent a video request, but the other party declined.
Send again, refuse again.
It seems like he's really angry, so I quickly switched to calling him, but he still hung up. She's still filming in the southwest and can't explain in person. If she doesn't answer the phone again, the misunderstanding will only deepen.
So I had to call Cuiping. It was very late by then, and when she answered the phone, she sounded embarrassed: "Yaoyao is already asleep in her room."
"Didn't sleep, went to knock on the door and give her a call."
Cuiping and two other nannies living in the room on the other side, heard the serious tone in his voice and hurriedly got up to knock on the door.
Yao Yao was indeed angry. The reason she received this photo was a long story. It dated back to when she had someone working at the Baoli Club, shortly after her marriage. Back then, things hadn't been going well between them; there were conflicts and a lack of trust. She needed to have a backup plan, didn't she
So someone was assigned to give her real-time updates. As a result, over the past two years, Gu Ruandong had barely set foot in Baili Club. Even when he did go, it was only for banquets. She had completely forgotten about this until she received the photos today and was taken aback. But when she saw what was in the pictures, she became very agitated.
Look at him lounging in the center, still a beast in fine clothes. He's happy with his left and right arms around him, isn't he
So Cui Ping came to knock on the door. She knew it was his call and didn't open the door at all, just saying, "I'm asleep, contact me tomorrow."
Saddening!
She has been filming hard in the southwest, and he just went back a few days ago. He couldn't stand being lonely and went right back to his old ways.
Men, they're all no good.
She was angry, but that didn't stop her from sleeping. Filming was really tiring, so while she slept, she kept berating Gu Ruandong in her mind. She cursed and cursed until she fell asleep, unlike other girls who would be unable to sleep because of anger.
So Gu Ruandong sent her dozens of messages explaining, but they all went unanswered.
Inside the room, everyone watched as Ruan Dong walked in with a grim face. His gaze towards Mr. Wang was like he wanted to kill him: "Come here!"
"Mr. Wang, the two monks looked bewildered and approached: 'Gu Shao, what's wrong'"
Gu Ruandong treated the person like a criminal, making him stand against the wall. He then took out his phone to record: "Explain everything clearly. What happened tonight"
Mr. Wang leaned against the wall, but despite his fear, he bravely asked, "Sister-in-law, did you misunderstand me Have you taken care of your sister-in-law"
Mr. Wang, obviously experienced, took out his phone and said: "I can't explain it for you like this. Your sister-in-law will definitely think we are birds of a feather, covering for each other. You should find Han Li. Women tend to believe women more."
Gu Ruandong snatched the phone and said, "I'll soothe her myself."
But she took a photo of the private room and sent it over, specifically including photos of Zhao Tingxing and Han Li who were also present.
On this side, I'm anxiously waiting, but of course, it's still met with silence.
Everybody else, including Yaoyao, has already gone to sleep.
Gu Ruan Dong originally planned to return to Beijing for two days to handle work matters, but given the circumstances, he could only go southwest first. It's more important to comfort his wife; he can't bear to see her sad.
All night, he looked very grim and ignored everyone. He went home early.
When I got home, it was already past midnight. I had just finished taking a shower when Xiao Cai called me. My heart skipped a beat.
Unless it's an emergency, Xiao Cai wouldn't call him in the middle of the night.
As soon as the phone was answered, Xiao Cai's anxious voice came through: "Mr. Gu, have you seen the news"
Before Gu Ruan Dong could respond, Xiao Cai chimed in, "There was an earthquake in the county."
These few words were like an earthquake in Gu Ruandong's heart. His hand holding the phone trembled uncontrollably, almost dropping to the ground.
"How serious is it" the person asked, forcing themselves to remain calm.
Xiao Cai: "The situation is currently unclear, but communication has been cut off over there, and the roads are also blocked."
Xiao Cai still has professional ethics. Even though Shan Shan was there, he remained calm.
Gu Ruandong had already run downstairs.
