After passing through the lobby on the first floor and arriving at the backyard, I discovered that there was a very large garden with a pond in the middle. Several koi were swimming in the clear water. Their beautiful scales sparkled under the light, which was a great sight to see.

The moonlight poured down on the water like silk. The wind blew gently, and the reflection on the water surface began to ripple. The moon in the water became a few petals shining with silver light.

Next to the pond is a uniquely shaped rockery with the name of the hotel "Nanzhou" carved on it. From a distance, the rugged and uneven rocks create a unique artistic conception.

Su Nan followed the waiter around the corridor hung with red lanterns and finally arrived at the door of the private room.

Standing at the door, you can hear bursts of laughter coming from inside, and it is obvious that the atmosphere is good. The waiter reached out and knocked on the door three times. The conversation paused for two seconds before a deep male voice was heard.

"Come in."

The waiter opened the door a crack, nodded slightly at Su Nan, then turned and left in the direction he came from.

Su Nan adjusted the expression on her face, put on a decent and gentle smile, pushed the door open and walked in. Before she had time to greet everyone, her eyes met with the person sitting in the main seat opposite her.

Suddenly, Su Nan's smile froze on her face, and her hand holding the door handle slowly tightened, and her delicately trimmed nails pricked her palm.

The box was very large and decorated in Chinese style. Various delicious dishes were placed on the mahogany round table. There were more than a dozen people sitting around the round table, all dressed in suits and looking like successful people.

These people all have family backgrounds and have become wealthy by taking advantage of favorable policies. They are either bosses of large factories or CEOs of large companies, and have unbelievable amounts of money in their pockets.

This time, they offered a sky-high five-digit price to invite Su Nan to endorse their company's new product. It was an unprecedented move that was simply jaw-dropping.

As the saying goes, if you don't make money, you are a bastard.

So Su Nan didn't care that today was his birthday and the New Year's Day, and came here to socialize and discuss cooperation. He obviously came with the purpose of signing a 100% contract.

But what she didn't expect was that the client of this advertising cooperation was actually her ex-boyfriend Zhou Rang.

The man sitting in the main seat was wearing a black suit without a tie. The collar of his brown shirt was slightly open, revealing his fair skin. His delicate collarbone was faintly visible, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down as he drank, looking extremely sexy.

Even when sitting on a chair, he still had his back straight and looked serious. His thin face made him look fierce, making people afraid to get close to him. The curve at the corner of his mouth was indifferent and distant.

It was as if he had just met me for the first time in black, and he looked so dangerous.

The man was the first to look away. His eyes dropped slightly, and his fingertips lightly touched the rim of the glass, revealing a sense of casual surprise, as if they didn't know each other at all.

"Oh, our famous actress is finally here." A voice awakened Su Nan's mind, and she recognized that this person was the one who called her in just now.

"Hey, I'm sorry that I wasted some time on the way here." Su Nan walked forward as if nothing had happened, shook the hands that were extended, and explained with a smile.

Yang Jianyuan laughed loudly and held her hand tightly, saying to everyone at the round table in a joking manner: "Wait, it's okay to be beautiful. It's a great honor for us to see your true face. It's worth it."

Hearing this, Su Nan smiled and, while looking for a seat, he pulled his hand out of the other person's hand. Then he walked to the only empty seat in the box and sat down.

This position was very strange, it was right to Zhou Rang's right, and next to his seat. The distance between the two of them was so close that they could touch each other with the slightest movement.

Just as Su Nan sat down, her long legs rubbed against his.

Noticing the gaze from the side looking at him, Su Nan really wanted to curse the person who arranged the seats. Didn't he know that there would be so many people and not book a bigger private room?

Now it seems as if she saw Zhou Rang had become "rich" and deliberately rubbed his thigh, and then seduced him wantonly.

Su Nan was like a mute eating bitter herbs, unable to express his pain.

"Ms. Su, you are a very busy person now. It has been half a year since we last met, right?"

A young man wearing glasses who was sitting opposite Su Nan suddenly stood up and raised his glass towards her. He looked gentle, elegant and extremely polite.

"Mr. Gao, what you said is true. It's you who are too busy and don't have time to see me. Look, you didn't even tell me when you came to Beijing."

Su Nan recognized that the other person was the son of a high-ranking official whom she had met several times when filming in Northwest China a few years ago. She quickly stood up, poured herself a glass of juice, and glared at him with curved eyebrows and coquettish eyes, as if their relationship was really that close.

When I stood up, I inevitably bumped into the people around me.

In social situations, having one more friend means one more bargaining chip. When other people saw the two of them chatting freely, their faces changed and they had new considerations in their minds.

"My father was just transferred to Beijing not long ago, so I haven't had time yet." Hearing Su Nan's words, Gao Peng's smile deepened. He raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all.

Su Nan pursed her lips and smiled, then drank up the juice in the cup in her hand.

"Why are you drinking like you're playing house at the table? Come on, let me pour some wine for Miss Su." Yang Jianyuan walked around most of the table, picked up the red wine bottle, and was about to fill Su Nan's glass.

Before Su Nan could say no, Gao Peng at the side stopped Yang Jianyuan first and said, "Hey, Mr. Yang, you don't know that Nan Nan can't drink."

In a short period of time, the name she was addressed as changed from Miss Su to the rather close Nan Nan.

Su Nan frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Gao Peng, and met his burning gaze, and his heart skipped a beat.

"What's there to not drink? Just one glass, you won't get drunk." Yang Jianyuan didn't seem to take it seriously and was still clamoring to pour wine for Su Nan.

Seeing that she couldn't stop him, Su Nan sighed in her heart. It seemed that she had met a difficult person who insisted on forcing her to drink today. She had never encountered such a situation before, and she was a little panicked for a moment.

But she knew she couldn't set this precedent, because if she drank the glass of wine this time, someone would definitely use this as an excuse to pour her wine next time.

Then the lie of alcohol allergy will be exposed.

Because she couldn't drink much and had bad drinking habits, she told everyone from the beginning that she was allergic to alcohol.

Most people in the current circle know about this, and few people would let her drink at a drinking party. If people knew that she was not really allergic to alcohol, wouldn't it cause a big uproar?

"Mr. Yang, I really can't drink. I'm allergic to alcohol and it can be fatal." Su Nan scratched his neck. The humorous and self-centered action made many people laugh.

But Yang Jianyuan seemed determined to set this precedent. After waving his hand, he squeezed in from the gap between Su Nan and Zhou Rang, picked up her wine glass and poured wine into it.

He was still mumbling, "What alcohol allergy? I've never heard of it in my life."

Hearing this, the smile on Su Nan's face could no longer be maintained and suddenly turned cold.
