Ji Xingzhi looked away, no longer thinking about Ai Fei. She turned to look at Ling Lan, who was already annoyed by a group of girls and wanted to kill him. She said with a half-smile, "Let's go and help the general out of this trouble."

Zi Liao nodded slightly: "Okay."

Ji Xingzhi and Zi Liao stepped forward and sent away the girls surrounding Ling Lan. Ling Lan thanked them and was about to leave, but was stopped by Ji Xingzhi and the others.

The three of them found a private room to drink, and there was only one girl, Su Ju, serving them in the room.

Thus, the following scene appeared.

The three of them didn't talk much, but they drank a lot of wine.

Ji Xingzhi has always liked to drink the wine from Anxianglou, because the wine there is not strong, the alcohol content is not high, it has a floral fragrance and a sweet aftertaste. She, a person who does not drink, has become a complete drunkard in the eyes of everyone.

Zi Liao spent all his time hanging out in brothels, so his alcohol tolerance was naturally no worse than Ji Xingzhi's, and he drank without hesitation.

And what about Ling Lan? Ling Lan was used to drinking spicy liquor in the army, so this little bit of wine was nothing to him.

Ji Xingzhi and Zi Liao originally wanted to make friends with Ling Lan, but somehow they suddenly started drinking.

In the end, Su Ju still had something to say to Ji Xingzhi at night and stopped Ji Xingzhi from drinking.

Zi Liao returned to the Prime Minister's Residence, Ling Lan was also on his way back to the Ling Residence, and only Ji Xingzhi was lying on Su Ju's bed, too lazy to move at all.

Su Ju brought a basin of clean water, took a handkerchief and dipped it into the water, then wrung it dry, folded it neatly, and carefully wiped Ji Xingzhi's face to dissipate the heat.

"I'm not drunk." Ji Xingzhi looked at Su Ju with his eyes open, his gaze clear and bright, without a trace of drunkenness.

Su Ju placed the handkerchief on Ji Xingzhi's forehead, lowered her eyelids slightly, and whispered, "Su Ju knows. The young lady has done a great favor to Su Ju, and Su Ju has no way to repay her. I can only do something insignificant to repay the young lady's kindness."

Ji Xingzhi took off the handkerchief and returned it to Suju. He lifted the quilt and sat up. He put on his shoes, stood up and straightened his clothes. He glanced at Suju calmly and said, "You concealed my identity for me, which is my way of repaying you."

After saying this, Ji Xingzhi was about to leave when Su Ju quickly called out to her, "Miss!"

"Is there something wrong?" Ji Xingzhi turned around and asked Su Ju.

Su Ju suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ji Xingzhi in front of her puzzled eyes: "Manager Ai intends to train Su Ju to be the next manager. If you need any help in the future, please feel free to ask Su Ju."

After hearing this, Ji Xingzhi's eyes flashed with a smile, and he reached out to help Su Ju up from the ground: "That's a good thing. However, if I really needed your help, I would have died long ago. It's not that I look down on you, it's just that my opponent is too strong."

"Su Ju knows that the lady's identity is unusual. I don't ask to help the lady much, but I just hope that I can give the lady a safe place to stay one day to repay the lady's kindness." Su Ju's face was more serious than ever, and there was a persistence and determination in her eyes that Ji Xingzhi had never seen in Su Ju's eyes.

Ji Xingzhi was slightly stunned, reached out to tidy up Su Ju's slightly messy hair, and smiled calmly: "I will remember your words."

After that, Ji Xingzhi turned and left. Su Ju looked at Ji Xingzhi's back, her face suddenly turned pale, and her eyes were filled with tears. She bit her lower lip, and her originally beautiful red lips turned white. Then, as if she had made some important decision, she closed her eyes slightly, and huge tears fell to the ground.

Su Ju's legs went limp, and she covered her face with her hands and started crying on the ground. However, she didn't dare to cry out loud. She could only sob softly and kept repeating: "I'm sorry, Fanfan... I'm sorry..."
