The next day, Xu Yanshu went out to entertain clients as scheduled, but unexpectedly ran into Xie Huanyu at the restaurant.
"Yes, yes, in that case, I'll trouble you, Mr. An!"
The familiar voice made Xu Yanshu stop in his tracks, feeling insecure. He unconsciously looked up and saw Xie Huanyu's figure.
What's she doing here? She only has stable, established projects; logically speaking, she shouldn't need to engage in any special socializing…
While wondering what was going on, Xu Yanshu saw the Mediterranean-looking CEO An put his arm around Xie Huanyu's shoulder.
"Since President Xie has brought it up, I naturally won't refuse. I happen to have a few projects that I can work on with Lu's Group. I'll have my assistant contact them right away!"
What's this old man up to?
Xie Huanyu was shocked that the other party dared to grope her. She was about to shake him off, but considering the precarious state of the Lu family, she had no choice but to suppress her disgust.
"Then Mr. An, you must keep your word!" Xie Huanyu forced a smile and said, refilling the other person's glass before sitting down again, then shifting her body to the side. "I owe you this favor."
"If you ever need any help in the future, just let me know."
It turns out it was to help the Lu family...
Xu Yanshu suddenly realized what was going on. Looking at Xie Huanyu's obsequious behavior inside, he gave a noncommittal sneer, his eyes as cold as ice.
An Hongsheng is a notorious lecher in the industry. When we were dealing with him before, he tried his best to keep the female employees away.
Xie Huanyu actually dared to take the initiative to approach him; she really was willing to go all out for the Lu family.
After looking away, he was about to head to the restroom when he unexpectedly bumped into An Hongsheng's assistant.
"Mr. Xu, you're eating here too?"
"I have an appointment with a client."
Xu Yanshu nodded slightly, gave a concise explanation, and then turned and went into the restroom.
Xie Huanyu could no longer suppress her nausea and had to make an excuse to go to the restroom. As soon as she left the private room, she saw Xu Yanshu.
What a coincidence?
Xie Huanyu was slightly taken aback. She knew that Xu Yanshu occasionally went out to entertain clients, but she didn't expect to run into him at the same restaurant so coincidentally.
The thought that Xu Yanshu might have seen what had just happened made her face burn with pain.
"Mr. Xie, what brings you out here?!"
Xie Huan waved her hand dismissively, "I'm going to the restroom!"
The restaurant is not large, and the men's and women's restrooms share the same wash area.
Seeing Xu Yanshu standing in front of the sink, Xie Huanyu paused slightly. Unexpectedly, the man turned around the next second, and their eyes met by sheer coincidence.
"you……"
"Xiao Zhou booked the place; you can check the records if you don't believe me!"
Xu Yanshu said this because they would occasionally bump into each other in public before, and no matter how he explained, Xie Huanyu was convinced that he was deliberately following him.
Although she didn't quite understand why the other person would say that, Xie Huanyu nodded knowingly. She had originally wanted to ask if she had seen anything just now...
Only now did she belatedly realize that this question seemed a bit like protesting too much, and why should she explain her actions to Xu Yanshu?
Realizing her own unusual behavior, Xie Huanyu felt a surge of irritation.
Having no intention of lingering any longer, Xu Yanshu walked past Xie Huanyu, but unexpectedly noticed several ambiguous red marks on the woman's neck, and his gaze darkened with an inscrutable expression.
Reaching the sink, Xie Huanyu turned on the faucet and looked in the mirror, only to find that the red marks on her neck had become even more severe.
She frowned in annoyance and had no choice but to tuck her collar in to avoid being embarrassed by being seen.
She was in a bad mood last night, so after leaving the karaoke bar, she just randomly picked a hotel to stay in. Unexpectedly, she woke up this morning with an allergic reaction…
Xie Huanyu waved her hand irritably, and the thought of having to face that lecherous old man An Hongsheng when she got back made her even angrier.
She hadn't originally planned to force it, but this morning Uncle Lu called to complain to her again, so she had no choice but to ask An Shengyang out to give it a try.
This is the last time; she won't tolerate this old man again!
Xie Huanyu tossed the used tissue into the wastebasket, then left the bathroom in her high heels.
...
Caller: Xie Huanyu
Seeing his phone screen light up again, Xu Yanshu frowned impatiently, hung up the phone, and then simply turned it off.
Knowing something in your heart is one thing, but seeing it with your own eyes is quite another...
Thinking of the ambiguous red marks on Xie Huanyu's neck, Xu Yanshu couldn't help but feel choked up, and a sudden surge of irritation rose in his heart.
He reached up and loosened the tie around his neck, then tilted his head back and took a big gulp of red wine, his eyes revealing a hidden pain and struggle.
What's the point? Since things have already come to this, wouldn't it be better for everyone to part ways amicably?
Looking thoughtfully at the red liquid in the glass, Xu Yanshu couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He had to admit that he was starting to regret it. He regretted his past naivety in liking Xie Huanyu, otherwise he wouldn't be in this dilemma today.
After regaining his senses, he numbly picked up the bottle and poured the wine into the glass.
At the same time, the bar door opened from the outside, and Lu Huai walked in with a group of people.
What a small world!
Noticing the commotion at the door, Xu Yanshu couldn't help but curse under his breath. He then stood up, picked up his suit jacket, and turned to leave.
"Isn't this our CEO Xu? Why are you leaving as soon as you see me?" Lu Huai noticed the commotion and immediately took a few steps forward.
Xu Yanshu remained noncommittal, saying, "I have other things to do!"
"What could you possibly want this late at night?" Lu Huai clearly wasn't going to let the other party off easily, and said dismissively, then brought over two glasses of wine from the bar. "How about this,"
"If you drink this glass with me, I'll let you go!"
On what grounds?
Looking at the person blocking his way, Xu Yanshu narrowed his eyes unhappily, then coldly uttered two words.
"Get out of my way!"
Lu Huai's expression suddenly changed, his eyes seemed to be spitting fire. This good-for-nothing was becoming more and more arrogant in front of him.
Thinking back to Xie Huanyu openly defending Xu Yanshu at her own venue last night, she felt even angrier.
"If it really doesn't work out, I'll respect you. There are some things I really have wronged you about!"
Lu Huai spoke casually, then stepped forward and whispered in Xu Yanshu's ear, "You really trained her well. She served me very well last night."
