Gu Ziqian choked and coughed repeatedly, tears streaming down his face.
The group silently condemned Shang Wu with their eyes.
"I, cough cough cough... I'm going to the restroom!"
Gu Ziqian hurriedly ran out.
Zhou Yanci also felt that this was going too far, and gently patted Shang Wu's back: "Alright, alright, Wu, he's already drunk most of the bottle, let's not force him too much."
Shang Wu smiled, but her eyes held a coldness: "Alright, you guys keep drinking, I'll go have a chat with him."
She went to the restroom.
It's a single person's room, and the door wasn't closed properly.
The sound of vomiting came from inside, and then the tap was turned on.
Shang Wu pushed the door open and went inside, then locked it from the inside.
Gu Ziqian didn't hear the sound behind him and bent down to rinse his mouth with water.
By the time he caught a glimpse of a second person in the mirror, it was too late.
Shang Wu grabbed Gu Ziqian by the back of the neck and slammed him into the pool!
Gu Ziqian's head slammed into the table, and he screamed in pain, struggling as he braced himself against the table with both hands.
He struggled to sit up, but Shang Wu pressed his hands down firmly with hers folded together.
The pool is getting fuller and fuller.
The water from the tap also splashed onto the back of Gu Ziqian's head.
Normally, Shang Wu would be no match for his strength.
Unfortunately, Gu Ziqian was drunk and felt completely weak.
His nostrils were blocked by water, he couldn't open his eyes, he was getting increasingly oxygen-deprived, and the redness on his face was spreading to the back of his neck.
In the mirror, when Shang Wu lowered her eyes, her bright features revealed a faint hint of indifference.
She gave a cold smile, like a villainous female character in a movie who sees human life as worthless.
"It seems you're quite dissatisfied."
Shang Wu's voice was laced with intense coldness: "I don't need you to feel genuinely sorry. You just need to remember this suffocating feeling. This time it was in a pool, but maybe next time you'll be floating in a reservoir."
She released her grip on Gu Ziqian and kicked him in the back of the knee.
Gu Ziqian had just been freed when she kicked him to his knees, his head slamming heavily against the table. He groaned in pain, fell to the ground, clutching his head and curling up in pain.
Shang Wu took out a handkerchief, wiped her hands, threw it at Gu Ziqian, and left without looking back.
She stood in the corridor, looking down at the dancing crowd below.
The restless drumbeats filled my ears, and my thoughts began to race.
Ji Yu, and Xiao Dong.
Over the years, only these two people around Zhou Yanci could possibly know about his affairs.
The clues her father provided only proved that the company's senior executives had no criminal motive.
To obtain evidence, we must start with Zhou Yanci and several inspectors.
Shang Wu rubbed her temples, remembering the bugging device she had installed in the office.
I didn't hear much useful information, but I did record a lot of disgusting sounds of Zhou Yanci and Shen Mian arguing.
Shang Wu was deep in thought with a cold expression when Gu Ziqian came out of the restroom.
He was almost completely soaked, his hair was a mess, the water had been wiped off his face, and he had a large bump on his forehead, looking extremely disheveled.
Shang Wu turned to look at him.
Gu Ziqian's eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to meet her gaze. He walked over and handed her the clean handkerchief.
He swallowed hard: "Sister-in-law..."
"Don't call me sister-in-law." Shang Wu lowered her voice, displeased.
Gu Ziqian quickly changed his tune: "Sister Shang, I won't provoke you anymore, I'll only listen to you."
A hint of mockery flashed in Shang Wu's eyes.
"Do you know what to say later?"
Gu Ziqian nodded quickly.
Shang Wu turned around: "Come in."
She caught a glimpse of Gu Ziqian obediently following along and found it laughable.
If she could really sink someone in the reservoir, she would have done it to Zhou Yanci long ago, instead of him.
A good-for-nothing playboy who's easily frightened.
Shang Wu pushed open the door.
When the group saw Gu Ziqian's appearance, they were all shocked and surrounded him.
Zhou Yanci put down her wine bottle, frowned, and asked, "What happened? How did you get like this after just going to the restroom?"
Gu Ziqian smiled wryly: "I lost my balance while washing my face and fell down after bumping into the sink."
"If it weren't for you, why couldn't you have been more careful?"
Zhou Yanci sighed helplessly, then turned to look at Shang Wu when she saw the handkerchief in his hand: "Did you give him this handkerchief?"
"Um."
Shang Wu admitted it.
The doubt in their eyes gradually disappeared.
Zhou Yanci breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled, "This handkerchief costs over ten thousand yuan. You're willing to let him use it. It's a waste. I'll buy you another one another day."
Shang Wu said slowly, "You don't have any money right now, so you shouldn't spend it recklessly."
Zhou Yanci suddenly froze.
If Shang Wu hadn't reminded him, he would have almost forgotten that he had lost his shares and his position as president, and all his assets and savings had vanished.
He only has tens of thousands of yuan on him now.
Zhou Yanci had been a big shot in the outside world for three years, spending money lavishly. Now, suddenly, he didn't even have the money to book a whole venue for drinks, and he felt terrible.
He was in a bad mood and drank a couple more glasses than usual.
Shang Wu sat down next to him and whispered in his ear, "Yan Ci, are you still in contact with your classmates?"
Zhou Yanci didn't pay attention and casually said, "Of course there is, so what?"
"I was just asking, but never mind. You're studying finance, and even if your classmates are doing well, they're all in the finance field, so they probably can't help me."
Shang Wu sighed softly, her gaze wistful.
Zhou Yanci put down her wine glass and looked at her with suspicion: "Is there some trouble at the company?"
"yes."
Shang Wu smiled helplessly: "Yan Ci, this company still can't do without you. You've only been gone a few days, and the goods you approved have already been found to be in violation of regulations."
Zhou Yanci had just felt that she had no money, no CEO position, and no family fortune, but after hearing her words, her sense of self-worth returned.
