10:00 PM.
The banquet ended in a harmonious and pleasant atmosphere.
In front of the hotel.
Everyone left in their own way.
But before leaving, a drunken Lin Ke, while embracing Zhuang Wen who was nearly passed out, howled:
"Brother Wen, from now on you're my brother, my closest brother. If you ever get into any trouble in Jianing City, just give me a call, and I'll protect you..."
"Okay, I'm very happy today. I have a new older sister, a new younger sister, and a new younger brother like you..."
Zhuang Wen was also holding Lin Ke, his eyes blurry, too drunk to say anything.
Lin Shu, meanwhile, was supporting the two of them, looking anxious, as if afraid they would get drunk.
Lu Ruxue frowned slightly as she watched this scene.
"Hehehe, those two are really interesting..."
Lin Ni's face was flushed with a delicate blush from the slight effects of the alcohol. Her beautiful, narrow eyes blinked as if they were radiating electricity. She watched with a smile as Zhuang Wen and her younger brother hugged each other and talked nonsense while drunk.
She has a slender waist, a pert bottom, and long, straight legs; her figure is hot and perfect.
Even Lu Ruxue and Liu Miaoqing had to admit that, despite their tall stature, curvaceous figures, and good physiques, they were still inferior to Lin Ni.
Of course, people have different personalities, so it would look a bit strange if they had the same body shape.
Lin Ni's actions at this moment also perfectly matched her charming and mature temperament.
She crossed her arms, revealing her sexy and alluring curves, and turned to Lu Ruxue with a smile, saying, "I don't know what my brother and Zhuang Wen are thinking, but they both feel that the other is very much to their liking. These two grown men are really strange!"
Lu Ruxue nodded slightly but did not say anything.
"Mr. Lin, Mr. Lu, my car is here. I'll be leaving now. We can talk on the phone if you need anything."
Liu Miaoqing's fair cheeks were flushed with wine. She greeted the two women, then gave Zhuang Wen a deep look before getting into a black sedan that was approaching from a distance and quickly leaving the area.
The three women had already exchanged contact information at the dinner table.
"Mr. Lin, it's getting late, we should head out now."
Lu Ruxue glanced at the time, then said to Lin Ni.
"Have they left?"
A hint of reluctance flashed in Lin Ni's beautiful eyes. She glanced at Zhuang Wen, who was laughing heartily, but still smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, I'll find someone to take you back."
"No need, someone from here will come to pick us up."
Lu Ruxue politely declined.
As they were saying this, a minibus drove up and stopped in front of the hotel.
"We're leaving."
Lu Ruxue said something and then had He Bo, Dong Qiang and others separate Zhuang Wen and Lin Ke. Then, under the reluctant gazes of Lin Ni and Lin Shu, Zhuang Wen was taken onto the minibus.
Goodbye, Mr. Lin.
Lu Ruxue reached out and shook hands with Lin Ni, then turned and got into the car.
Lin Ni pursed her red lips, intending to invite Lu Ruxue and the others to have dinner together tomorrow.
Most importantly, she wanted Zhuang Wen to come along too.
But after thinking about it, she gave up.
Let's wait until we have a definite result tomorrow before discussing this further.
This gives me an excuse to invite them to dinner in a legitimate way.
However, she didn't care too much, because she had already saved Zhuang Wen's phone number on her phone through their pre-meal chat, and they had also added each other as friends on WeChat.
Then, she will have a way to meet Zhuang Wen alone.
"See you next time, Zhuang Wen."
She watched the minibus drive away from the hotel entrance with a dreamy look in her eyes, her heart inexplicably restless, as if she was extremely reluctant to see Zhuang Wen leave.
As the car drove out of her sight, it felt as if Zhuang Wen had taken her heart away with him.
She realized that from this day forward, she liked Zhuang Wen.
Just as she had prayed to heaven before: she was willing to pay any price, including herself, as long as someone could help her solve this problem and save Yuzhu Pharmaceuticals, she would dedicate her whole being to that person.
Zhuang Wen was the person she was willing to dedicate everything to.
So, she, who had always believed in fate and God, accepted her fate.
However, it was a joyful acceptance of fate.
She believed she belonged to Zhuang Wen, and Zhuang Wen belonged to her.
They belong to each other.
Lin Ni's eyes grew increasingly misty, as if veiled by a layer of water vapor. Her exquisite and voluptuous body trembled slightly at this moment, as if moving with a gentle breeze.
"Sister, you need to do something about him!"
Just then, Lin Shu's coquettish voice rang out from behind.
Lin Ni woke up, turned her head and saw Lin Ke swaying weakly, supported by Lin Shu. She laughed and scolded Lin Ke, "You get like this after drinking a little horse piss? Really... I'm going to teach you a lesson tomorrow!"
...
In Zhuang Wen's room.
"Mr. Lu, why don't you go back and rest first? Manager He and I will take turns watching over him here."
Dong Qiang and He Bo helped Zhuang Wen onto the bed, then turned to Lu Ruxue, who was standing not far away with a cold expression, and said.
Actually, he was a little puzzled, wondering why Lu Ruxue had followed them into Zhuang Wen's room.
"No need. You've all had quite a bit to drink tonight, so you should go too. You don't need to stay here and watch over him."
Lu Ruxue spoke in a cold tone.
"But what he drank..."
He Bo shook his head, regaining some clarity.
"He likes to drink it, and nobody can stop him. You shouldn't pay the price for his own behavior."
Lu Ruxue's voice turned colder, as if a hint of emotion had surfaced.
"Oh well."
He Bo and Dong Qiang exchanged a glance, then tucked Zhuang Wen into bed, tidied up a bit, and left the room.
Lu Ruxue was the last to leave. As she turned off the lights, she casually grabbed the room key, hid it in her palm, and closed the door.
"Mr. Lu, we'll head back now. Please get some rest."
He Bo and Dong Qiang were completely unaware of Lu Ruxue's subtle actions. After saying something and receiving her nod, they took the elevator together and left the floor.
Lu Ruxue returned to her room.
Half an hour later, she finished washing up. Her bare face had delicate and three-dimensional features, her skin was pink and tender, and she was faintly glowing with warmth. Even her hair was wet and shiny.
She changed her outfit, taking off her work suit and putting on a casual light blue long dress, the silk glossy and beautiful.
Over this long, pajama-like dress, she wore a black coat. Beneath the dress, her body was shapely, her abdomen flat, her legs long and slender, and the exposed section of her white, jade-like calves was extremely dazzling.
She came out with Zhuang Wen's room key.
Buzz—
She glanced around, seemingly a little guilty and afraid of being seen by others, but she still opened Zhuang Wen's room and slipped inside.
She closed the door, turned on the light, and walked briskly to Zhuang Wen's window. Looking at his sleeping face with furrowed brows, she pouted slightly, a hint of arrogance in her eyes.
In the end, I'll pay the bill for you.
