Chapter 53: Unruly
The moment Zhou Lai looked up, she called out the name that had just been mentioned with eyes full of surprise and disbelief: "Sister Yi Yan!"
Although it was an enclosed passage without air conditioning, Shi Ye felt the chill spreading from his heart to his whole body in an instant.
She tried her best to hold on to the handrail of the stairs to prevent herself from falling.
The woman hurried past her to help Zhou Lai, who was squatting and crying at the bottom of the stairs. Her anxiety and worry were not concealed at all in her actions.
Their movements were too familiar and intimate, it was a tacit understanding that came from too many interactions. Zhou Lai had seen her more than once!
So when Zhou Lai returned home for the first time, he showed his disgust for himself without any disguise.
So she is the one who interfered, right?
So Zhou Junheng's words were just to coax her, right?
…
She didn't dare to think any further. She felt that all this was too sudden and too unbelievable!
She didn't know if this was a preconceived notion, but everything pointed to what Zhou Lai had said. She knew she needed to at least ask Zhou Junheng for confirmation, but she simply didn't have the strength in her body.
When Li Yiyan said she wanted to go out for some fresh air, Sheng Li became suspicious, not just out of woman's intuition.
Since this afternoon in the venue, Li Yiyan's eyes have fallen on her best friend's husband Zhou Junheng too many times.
This is not a good sign!
At first she even thought she was seeing things, but once and twice, the undisguised admiration in Li Yiyan's eyes when she looked at Zhou Junheng was almost greedy.
After entering the box, today's inspectors were divided into two tables.
The staff members sat at another table nearby, which was of higher status so that some people would not feel constrained.
Sheng Li naturally sat at the same table with Li Yiyan. The afternoon inspection went smoothly, so the atmosphere at the dinner table was naturally relaxed.
But this does not mean that you can overstep the line.
Yes, this is a business banquet, and we still have to follow the rules even at the dinner table.
Li Yiyan was the first one to speak out again! The food had just been served, but she had already poured wine into her glass.
The leaders were not chatting, nor were they limited to the afternoon venue inspection. They were discussing the achievements and problems in the areas under their jurisdiction or leadership.
Development must be based on the overall situation, and information exchange and integration are indispensable at all times. This is actually a small seminar.
This is the reason why there are tea parties for leadership teams at all levels during the Spring Festival.
For them, dinner parties are not just for eating and drinking. They have to do their job while they are in office.
Li Yiyan walked over with a glass of wine. The leaders were still talking and discussing. Zhou Junheng was sitting next to Shen Qiang. She walked straight to the main seat.
“Secretary Shen, I’m Xiao Li, who is responsible for translation today in the Department of Foreign Affairs. I’d like to offer you a toast.”
The lively atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly became quiet because of her words, and everyone looked at Li Yiyan meaningfully.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to show off in such an occasion, but Li Yiyan did not consider the timing and rhythm at all, so the impression given at this moment is that she does not know the rules and is too flattering.
No matter what, it was not her turn to be the protagonist at the table today. Others' toasts had not even started yet, and the other directors and the chairman had not yet made a move, but a low-level employee jumped out to propose a toast.
She was too eager. To put it mildly, she didn't distinguish between the primary and the secondary. To put it bluntly, she was completely disrespectful to her superiors.
What's more, she took half a glass of red wine to toast Secretary Shen's white wine.
Is this looking down on others or not taking them seriously? In short, there are flaws in every aspect.
Sheng Li watched the whole process and once again felt that her partner today, Li Yiyan, was definitely not someone who would keep to her lot, but her ability was totally unmatched by her ambition.
Before she could finish her sigh, she spilled half of the glass of wine.
It sprinkled directly on Zhou Junheng, who was wearing a shirt, but the man avoided it. However, a few drops inevitably got on his collar. Li Yiyan was quick-eyed and quick-handed at this moment, and hurried to wipe it off for the man.
Zhou Junheng dodged even faster—
"Need not."
"Zhang Hao, ask the waiter for wet wipes."
The man didn't even glance at her. He continued to move his hands while speaking in his usual calm tone, "Miss Li, you'd better be careful. Sometimes, it's enough to do one thing well within your ability. You can't have your cake and eat it too."
Then Li Yiyan said with red eyes that she wanted to go out and get some fresh air.
Sheng Li didn't wait for Li Yiyan at the bathroom door, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
There is no other space in the hotel corridor.
An ominous premonition surged in her heart, and she immediately headed for the emergency passage. The moment she pushed open the door—
