Chapter 38 Because you touched her, the opportunity is gone.
“If you can’t drink, we won’t force you.” Gu Shixi smiled. “These things are all about mutual consent.”
Jiang Chenren unconsciously tightened his grip on the cup, glanced at the table, and after much deliberation, decisively gave his answer: "I'll drink!"
Those people have already been offended by that brat Jiang Ruan. If we want them to help us again, we'll probably have to drink even more alcohol than we did here. All we're asking for is an opportunity. It's better to ask Huo Zhizhou for help.
As long as he's willing to give, he'll never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of his life.
After making up his mind, he drank one glass after another.
Gu Shixi watched as the empty bottles piled up one after another, then glanced sideways at the man beside her.
That's incredibly brutal!
"Thump!"
As the last bottle was emptied, Jiang Chenren was completely drunk, his steps unsteady and his speech incoherent, but he still hadn't forgotten his purpose: "I've finished my wine."
"Hmm," Huo Zhizhou replied calmly.
Just as Jiang Chenren was about to say something, he saw Huo Zhizhou stand up and walk out without even glancing at him. He quickly stopped him, saying, "Second Young Master Huo, you haven't told us what the opportunity is yet."
"Originally, I was going to help you rebuild your company." Huo Zhizhou glanced at him with his dark eyes, his gaze as cold as the deep ice of the Arctic. "But because you touched her, the opportunity is gone."
Jiang Chenren's mind was a complete mess. After a few seconds of processing what he said, he suddenly pointed at him angrily and said, "You tricked me!"
Huo Zhizhou didn't even glance at him, walking away with indifferent steps.
Jiang Chenren was driven mad by the shock.
The anger Jiang Ruan had suffered from the previous humiliation, fueled by the alcohol, reached its peak. He grabbed a nearby bottle and smashed it against the back of Huo Zhizhou's head!
So what if he's Huo Zhizhou?
Anyone who dares to treat him like that deserves to die!
In terms of seniority, he was still his father-in-law. Not only had he not thought of helping him out all these years, but he also played such a scheming game with him! The more Jiang Chenren thought about it, the more madness appeared in his eyes, to the point that the force with which he smashed the object reached a peak.
"Crack!" Huo Zhizhou grabbed his wrist and twisted it sharply.
Jiang Chenren's arm dislocated instantly, and before he could even scream in pain, Huo Zhizhou kicked him.
"Clang!"
"Splash."
Two sounds rang out in succession, and Jiang Chenren slumped down beside the table, looking disheveled.
His eyes were filled with intense hatred, and he was about to accuse Huo Zhizhou, but when he saw Huo Zhizhou's cold, emotionless black eyes, he swallowed all his words and recalled Huo Zhizhou's extraordinary ruthlessness.
"These dozen or so bottles of wine on the table cost over two million." Huo Zhizhou took in all his emotions and said, unhurriedly, the words that only fueled his despair, "Remember to pay President Gu."
"I didn't order this!" Jiang Chenren said with all his might.
Huo Zhizhou: "You want me to treat you to a drink?"
Despite the seemingly normal tone, Jiang Chenren detected a threat in it. His face turned deathly pale, knowing that responding would only lead to even worse consequences.
At this moment, he had a clearer understanding of Huo Zhizhou's methods, and he also knew that even if that brat Jiang Ruan divorced him, he would not allow anyone else to touch her.
"Mr. Jiang, card or cash?" Gu Shixi asked with a slight lift in his voice.
Jiang Chenren's hands and feet were ice-cold, and his drowsy mind was completely cleared up at this moment.
"His total assets amount to only a little over 100,000 yuan, just enough to pay for the table below," Huo Zhizhou said calmly.
Gu Shixi played along, saying, "So, Mr. Jiang is planning to drink without paying?"
"I..." Jiang Chenren was filled with endless panic. Treating those people to dinner was his last savings. If he hadn't learned that Jiang Ruan was likely to get a large sum of money in the divorce settlement, he wouldn't have taken such a big risk.
"For the sake of Mr. Jiang being Miss Jiang's father, I won't call the police on this matter." Gu Shixi said in a self-righteous manner, "From today onwards, you will wash glasses at the bar. You can leave when you have paid off the debt."
After saying that, he magically produced a contract.
Jiang Chenren's pupils contracted.
It was all planned!
"President Jiang, shall we sign?" Gu Shixi asked with an innocent smile.
Jiang Chenren wanted to refuse, but after meeting Huo Zhizhou's cold gaze, he consciously took the pen and ink from Gu Shixi's hand to sign and stamp the contract. He didn't know what the consequences of refusing the contract would be, but he knew that this was Huo Zhizhou's last chance for him.
Gu Shixi accepted the contract and explained the matter to the bar manager.
After leaving and getting into the car.
Gu Shixi's gossip instincts were burning brightly: "Let me interview President Huo. What were your feelings when you learned that Miss Jiang was pulled into a private room by his father to drink with him?"
"Want to help Jiang Chenren wash the cups?" Huo Zhizhou glanced at him.
Gu Shixi: "..."
Just pretend he didn't ask!
Huo Zhizhou looked out the window, and the image of Jiang Ruan pretending to be calm while holding a wine bottle in the private room, which he had seen through Gu Shixi's phone, automatically popped into his mind. She looked disheveled, but her eyes were full of stubbornness. She looked utterly stupid.
"Have you given gifts to everyone else in the private room?" he asked Jiang, the assistant in the driver's seat.
“It has been prepared as you wished,” Assistant Jiang replied seriously. “They will receive their gifts in two hours.”
Gu Shixi asked with a face full of curiosity, "What gift?"
"You want it?" Huo Zhizhou asked.
Gu Shixi curled his lip, his words showing no regard for his own life or death: "Who wants something from a black-hearted bastard like you?"
