Chapter 292 In my private life, I'm way ahead of you.
Zhou Mubin stared at Cui Xiao in surprise, stopped walking, but didn't let go of her hand.
He was puzzled. "You're yelling at me?"
Cui Xiao was taken aback.
He asked in confusion, "They're still insulting me?"
Cui Xiao Erleng.
Zhou Mubin is in an emotional state.
He stood at the top of the stairs, his brows furrowed deeply, the light in his eyes growing dimmer, and even his breathing becoming heavier than before.
Having known Cui Xiao for so many years, this was the first time she had spoken to him in such a tone.
In the past, no matter how unreasonable his demands were, Cui Xiao wouldn't even flinch.
Zhou Mubin recalled that it was probably a few years ago when he was dating a young model, who was the most demanding woman he had ever been with. In the middle of the night, she wanted to eat red date cake from a place a hundred kilometers away. Zhou Mubin couldn't refuse her, so he called Cui Xiao and asked her to go buy it for him.
He remembered it clearly: it was raining that night, a once-in-a-century downpour. On the way back, the water level on the road was too high, and the car stalled in the rain. Cui Xiao had no choice but to walk back.
When she arrived at Zhou Mubin's apartment and presented him with the jujube cake she had gone to great lengths to buy, the young model complained that it was cold and not fresh.
The young model threw the jujube cake at Cui Xiao's head and said a lot of unpleasant things, but even so, Cui Xiao didn't show any dissatisfaction on her face.
But now, just because she's not allowed to deal with that fat pig, she's yelling at him and cursing at him.
If Zhou Mubin hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have known she had this side to her.
Cui Xiao remained calm and serious. "Zhou Mubin, President Hou is my boss. I need to be responsible for everything about him, just like I was for you before."
Zhou Mubin was so angry after being rebuked that his chest heaved. "If he asked you to sleep with him, would you sleep with him?"
Cui Xiao's face showed anger, and her already fair face became even paler. "If I say yes, are you satisfied?"
Hearing this, Zhou Mubin gently tugged at his tie, the wrinkles in his collar revealing a suppressed restlessness. His lips pressed down into a cold, hard line, and his voice was so deep it seemed to come from his chest, "Say that again?"
Cui Xiao didn't want to continue getting entangled with Zhou Mubin; he was definitely the last person she wanted to see so far.
Facing him, Cui Xiao said, word by word, "President Hou is a very good person and takes good care of me. In particular, his private life is very clean. If he is willing to marry me, I would consider it."
Zhou Mubin, "You..."
Just then, Xie Nanzhi came over and saw what was happening. "Old Zhou, let him go."
Zhou Mubin was furious, but he still obediently let go of Cui Xiao's hand, though his eyes seemed to be filled with venom.
Cui Xiao rubbed her wrist, which had been pinched red, and without looking at him again, said to Xie Nanzhi, "President Nan, I'll take President Hou home first. If you have any questions, you can call me."
Xie Nanzhi nodded, "Okay, be careful on the road."
Cui Xiao nodded and walked straight past Zhou Mubin.
Zhou Mubin followed Cui Xiao's figure as she left. Once she was out of sight, Xie Nanzhi stood to the side with her arms crossed, saying, "Old Zhou, you don't like her, so don't meddle in her business."
Zhou Mubin was in a bad mood. He grabbed a cigarette haphazardly, put it in his mouth, lit it, and took a deep drag. Even so, he couldn't suppress the irritation in his heart.
"We've known each other for a while, how can we watch her go further and further down the road of no return?"
Hearing this, Xie Nanzhi laughed, "How come I don't see it as a path of no return? Cui Xiao's salary is higher and her position is higher, which is obviously a better career prospect than following you. Besides, President Hou is a good person and doesn't have any dirty thoughts about Cui Xiao. I think President Hou is much better than you, his former boss."
Zhou Mubin rolled his eyes. "Nanzhi, whose side are you on? Why are you siding with outsiders?"
Xie Nanzhi retorted sarcastically, "I'm stating the facts."
"fart."
"President Hou is a better person than you, at least in his private life, he's way ahead of you."
Zhou Mubin wanted to refute, but he pursed his lips and couldn't find an excuse to do so.
Xie Nanzhi put her hand on his shoulder to comfort him, "Alright, Cui Xiao has already left you. No matter what, it's none of your business. You should focus your attention on your Xiao Mo. Cui Xiao's affairs are none of your concern."
It would be better if he didn't mention it, because just thinking about Jin Moli makes Zhou Mubin feel annoyed.
Last time, she caused a scene at the hospital and even threw dirty water on Xie Nanzhi. After Zhou Mubin went back, he had a big fight with her.
To this day, Zhou Mubin has never gone back.
Zhou Mubin retorted, "Isn't this because I'm afraid she'll go astray?"
Xie Nanzhi: "Cui Xiao is more sensible than you."
After saying that, Xie Nanzhi went downstairs.
During evening social engagements, Xie Nanzhi always substituted tea for alcohol, and President Hou naturally dared not express any dissatisfaction.
Upon arriving at the door, Xie Nanzhi sent a message to Wei Chizheng and quickly received his location.
Xie Nanzhi was about to get into the car when Zhou Mubin followed eagerly behind her, saying, "Nanzhi, come with me for a drink!"
Xie Nanzhi raised an eyebrow and teased, "What are you doing with me on this long night?"
Zhou Mubin muttered, "So, are you going to keep me company or not?"
Xie Nanzhi had already opened the car door with one hand, and smiled coldly, "Old Zhou, it really won't work. I have to go pick up my man and take him home. Ask Xibei if she has time."
As he spoke, he had already gotten into the car.
Xie Nanzhi fastened her seatbelt, rolled down the window, and rested her elbow on the window. "Old Zhou, let me give you a piece of advice: no zuo no die."
After saying that, he rolled up the car window, stepped on the gas, and disappeared from Zhou Mubin's sight.
Zhou Mubin became completely depressed.
After a long pause, he muttered, "He has no humanity when it comes to women."
The city's nightlife was just beginning, and neon lights were still streaming through the car windows. About twenty minutes later, Xie Nanzhi parked the car under the shade of a tree at the side entrance of the club and turned down the car music.
She sent a message from her car: "Arrived, at the door."
Then, Xie Nanzhi took out a individually packaged packet of honey from the passenger-side storage compartment, took out a bottle of water, poured the honey into the bottle, and shook it vigorously.
Over the past few years, she has frequently attended social events, and has developed the habit of carrying honey with her.
Wei Chizheng must have drunk quite a bit of alcohol; a glass of honey water would make him feel much better.
The dimly lit private room was filled with the sounds of clinking glasses and endless toasts, the smoke so thick it was hard to open your eyes.
Wei Chizheng leaned back on the sofa, the cigarette between his fingers half-burned, but the ash didn't fall.
Mr. Li asked cautiously, "Does Mr. Wei have any further thoughts on the letter of intent for cooperation?"
Wei Chizheng slowly raised his eyes, his gaze sharp enough to pierce through people's hearts. "There are a few questions in the letter of intent, which I have had my assistant mark in the document."
He pulled a document from his briefcase, the edges of the paper taut. "Contact my assistant directly after you've revised it in three days."
General Manager Li broke out in a sweat and nodded repeatedly.
Wei Chizheng raised his wrist and glanced at the time. Just then, a message popped up on the screen.
Instantly, the seriousness and coldness on Wei Chizheng's face were replaced by gentleness, and even his voice softened, "Wait for me for ten minutes, I'll be right there."
