After Qiu Hu took over as the vice chairman of the Qiu Group, he became extremely busy. No wonder the Qiu Group is in such a bad state now; it's all because of those monsters and demons in charge.
The dismissal of two department managers was used as an example to deter others, and only then did the other departments begin to quiet down.
That evening, Xiang Gexuan invited her out for dinner, and she finally relaxed for a while.
"Fox, have you been so busy lately? Look at your dark circles!" Xiang Gexuan said, staring at her face.
"Really? The Qiu family is a complete mess. It's hard to explain in a few words. Sigh, I'm still wondering what to do next." Qiu Hu touched his face, feeling melancholy.
"It's okay, take your time, you can definitely do it." After comforting her, Xiang Gexuan playfully added, "Fox, let's go have some fun after dinner, let's look at some handsome guys, hahaha!"
"Does Shang Ji know about this?"
"He knows I told him to pick me up later!"
Qiu Hu glanced at her, "You know that's not what I meant."
Nine o'clock, Dream Bar, the night atmosphere is in full swing.
Xiang Gexuan led Qiu Hu to a seat at the bar and said excitedly, "Sit here, sit here, the view is great."
As usual, Qiu Hu ordered cold boiled water, while Xiang Gexuan ordered martinis.
"Fox, look, that guy is so handsome." Xiang Gexuan pulled her hand and pointed in the direction of the handsome man.
Just as he was about to continue, a gloomy voice came from behind him, "Which one is handsome?"
Xiang Gexuan was unaware that a storm was about to break. "That one! That one is handsome! That little puppy!" she exclaimed. Then she realized something was wrong. Qiu Hu's voice wasn't like that. She turned around and saw, oh my, her new husband.
"Oh, honey, that's not it. I was planning to introduce her to Qiu Hu." Xiang Gexuan looked completely innocent, shifting the blame onto Qiu Hu without batting an eye.
Qiu Hu squinted at her, thinking, "So, you're using your sisters to betray me, aren't you?"
Xiang Gexuan winked at her, pleading, "Please help my sister, or I'm doomed, right, Fox?"
Qiu Hu replied helplessly, "Yes, yes."
However, no one noticed Ning Yizhan's gloomy expression.
Shang Ji gradually calmed down, still thinking of taking her away, "Alright, let's go home!"
"Oh, so fast? You're only just arriving. I haven't even chatted with you much yet. It's so rare for me to see Fox." Xiang Gexuan said, feeling wronged.
"Then let's sit a while longer," Shang Ji conceded.
After they finished speaking, the four of them sat down again. The voices of the two girls were heard at the table, but Xiang Gexuan's voice was heard most often.
"Given the current state of the Qiu family, should they seek investment or partnerships?" The two chatted and the conversation drifted back to the Qiu family.
"I've been looking recently, to see if there's anything suitable."
"What are you still looking for? Make good use of your connections. Isn't this a ready-made solution?" Xiang Gexuan reminded her, almost mentioning her husband's name.
Given their long-standing friendship, Shang Ji agreed without hesitation, "Sure, just bring the contract up to me to sign it when you're free."
"Given the current situation of the Qiu family, I don't know if they can make money." Qiu Hu wanted to protect the interests of his partners and didn't want his friends to lose money.
"It's okay, it's not a big problem."
"It's a deal then! Don't go back on your word."
Shang Ji nodded in agreement, then received a signal from Ning Yizhan, "If possible, would the Ning family like to come along?"
"Can."
Qiu Hu was clearly pleasantly surprised. "Then it's settled. I'll come up to you as soon as I've drafted the project contract."
Finally, except for Qiu Hu, they all drank alcohol, and Shang Ji called the driver.
At the hotel entrance, Ning Yizhan seized the opportunity to say, "Qiu Hu, I've been drinking. Will you take me home?"
Don't you have a driver or assistant?
"It's too late, I told them all to go home."
Qiu Hu was speechless. You are indeed a good boss!
"I don't want to take you there, just call a designated driver!"
When Ning Yizhan saw that Qiu Hu refused, he began to coax her gently, saying softly, "Just take me home, I'm really a little drunk." Qiu Hu was soft-hearted and didn't want to bother him, so she agreed.
Where do you live?
"Wang Jingyuan Mansion" is not far from her home. It is the closest of Ning Yizhan's properties to her home. She has only recently moved there and wants to be closer to Qiuhu Lake.
In the car, Ning Yizhan had indeed drunk quite a bit, and his voice was hoarse. "You like the younger brother type, like the ones at the bar, the kind who look like they're underage, skinny, all looks and no substance?"
"What?" Qiu Hu was completely confused by his question. It would have been fine if he hadn't spoken, but what he said was astonishing.
"You like younger men?"
"dislike."
"That's good." Ning Yizhan was relieved.
When they arrived at Wang Jingyuan's residence, Ning Yizhan was already half asleep. In fact, he was really tired. He hadn't slept for two days and two nights since returning from his business trip, so he rushed over to see her. "Get up, we're here. Don't sleep anymore. If you can't drink, then don't drink."
“Who said I can’t drink! I’m just sleepy.” Ning Yizhan grabbed her wrist. “Pull me up.”
Qiu Hu thought he was really drunk, so he got up, opened the car door, and helped him into the car.
As they stepped into the elevator, Ning Yizhan embraced her, burying his face in her neck and inhaling her scent. Qiu Hu felt the man's weight; it was incredibly heavy. "Which floor?"
"28th floor" refers to the top floor.
Qiu Hu felt a little uncomfortable and tried to push him away, but he was holding on a bit too tightly. "Brother, can you let go? Your beard is poking me!"
Ning Yizhan was a little embarrassed, his sleepiness had vanished, and he hadn't shaved for two days. He loosened his grip on her slightly, "Okay, you can't prick me anymore. Also, don't call me big brother, but you can call me brother. However, I won't call you sister."
"Don't hug me."
"No, I want to hold you, because I want to call you baby." What's wrong with him?
Do you know you're taking advantage of me?
"I know! But you were the one who took advantage of me first." Ning Yizhan said matter-of-factly.
Qiu Hu was filled with regret, wondering why he had listened to Fu Shen and lied to Ning Yizhan.
Ning Yizhan continued, "We're in a flirtatious phase right now, so enjoy it! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once you're with me, you won't have another chance like this."
Qiu Hu gritted his teeth, "Who cares!"
"Ding!" The 28th floor has arrived! Qiu Hu tugged at his clothes and walked out, feeling a sense of relief. Finally, she could get rid of this hot potato. "You're home now, you can go back now!"
Aren't you going in?
"No, you should go in now, stop dawdling."
"Alright then!" Ning Yizhan entered the password, turned around and looked reluctant to leave, but Qiu Hu pushed him into the house, even closing the door for him, and they disappeared into the corridor.
Back in the house, Ning Yizhan went to the balcony and watched Qiu Hu drive away downstairs. The night was the loneliest time. He stared blankly in the direction Qiu Hu had left for a long time, but no one would know this, and he would not tell anyone.
If you're tired, go to sleep. When you wake up, it will be a new day.
