Chapter 179 No matter how you beat this woman, she's still a spineless bastard!
"Let's wait a bit longer. It's only nine o'clock at night, there's still plenty of time," Zhou Yuanming said, glancing at his watch.
She nodded, her eyes darting around, then suddenly poured him a glass of wine from the bottle, handed it to him, and said ingratiatingly, "Director Zhou, let me toast you. Thank you for letting me stay."
Since she was sensible, Zhou Yuanming took the glass and drank with her. Then other employees came to toast him, and Zhou Yuanming had no choice but to drink with them.
Taking the opportunity, Lin Yi encouraged her colleague, "Why don't you ask Nan Xia in the group chat if she's still coming? Didn't she say she'd treat us tonight? She wouldn't just skip out on the bill, would she?"
"Why don't you ask yourself?" her colleague said, disliking her.
Lin Yi glared at her angrily, then took out her phone and asked in the group chat: "Didn't Attorney Nan say he was treating everyone tonight? Why aren't you here yet? Are you not planning to come and pay the bill?"
Nanxia is currently at the hospital with her sister, and she deliberately arrived late so that Zhou Yuanming would have a few more drinks before she could make her move.
At this moment, I saw Lin Yi ask in the group chat, and I replied: 【Who said I wouldn't go to pay the bill?】
[When are you coming, Attorney Nan? We all came to celebrate for you, and you're so late, are you looking down on us?]
She asked somewhat provocatively, since she had already completely fallen out with her, and now she wasn't afraid of her at all! Besides, she was now Director Zhou's assistant, what could she and Song Yanzhi do to her?
Nan Xia couldn't help but laugh when she saw what the woman had sent. Was she trying to set a trap for her tonight, given how eager the woman was to get her there?
[Something urgent came up, so I'll be a little late. Even a table full of drinks couldn't shut up Assistant Lin's provocative mouth? Drink more and stop trying to sow discord.]
Lin Yi's face darkened upon hearing her words, but she insisted on retorting:
[Where did I sow discord? I was just trying to be helpful by urging Attorney Nan to come as soon as possible. Attorney Nan really can't tell right from wrong.]
Nan Xia laughed, feeling a bit like punching that woman. No matter how much she hit her, she was still a shameless jerk; the more she hit her, the more shameless she became!
Weiwei looked at the angry smile on her older sister's face and asked with concern, "Sis, who said that?"
“One of our female employees at the law firm has a sharp tongue and a bad attitude. She openly yelled at me in the work group,” she said.
"How could anyone be so bold? No matter what, you're the boss of a law firm now. Who is that person? Once I'm feeling better, I'll definitely teach her a lesson she won't forget!" Weiwei really wanted to avenge her sister.
She openly shouted in the work group, and all the employees saw it, which is enough to prove how bold and outrageous that woman is!
"You should focus on recovering. I'll teach her a lesson tonight," Nan Xia said to her sister, deliberately ignoring Lin Yi's words to make her and Zhou Yuanming anxious.
Now they're desperate to set a trap for me.
Lin Yi stared at her phone for a long time, but she didn't hear her say anything. She frowned, wondering if she had upset her and that she was really not coming.
Many employees had also seen their conversation and silently admired Lin Yi's audacity, but also disliked her even more. Even a fool could see through her arrogant tone.
No matter what, Nanxia is the boss. Why is her assistant so arrogant?
Could it be that she's gotten close to Director Zhou and no longer respects everyone else?
Director Zhou also saw their conversation and reprimanded her sternly, "Don't you have a brain? Why did you publicly criticize her in the work group? What if she really doesn't come?"
"I just can't stand how arrogant she is..." Lin Yi glanced at him and said with a pout.
"Don't forget you're just an assistant. I'm not going to clean up your messes," Zhou Yuanming warned, glancing at her with a stern look. He didn't want this arrogant assistant to tarnish his image.
"...I know." She snorted coldly.
"Apologize to her. If she and Song Yanzhi don't come tonight, how will we get the evidence?" he ordered coldly.
Lin Yi frowned, feeling extremely unwilling, but she dared not disobey Director Zhou, so she could only humbly say in the group chat again:
[Attorney Nan, I apologize for my tone earlier, but I truly meant no harm. Please come here; I'll punish myself by drinking three cups in front of you.]
"I told you I had something urgent and would be there later. Can't you understand me?" Nan Xia replied, not wanting to arrive early.
Go, let's wait until they're drunk before we talk.
"Fine, we'll wait for you." Lin Yi replied with a cold snort through gritted teeth. Was she really in a hurry?
Zhou Yuanming glanced around the private room. It was strange; why hadn't Song Yanzhi arrived yet? Could he be secretly on a date with Nan Xia?
"Click—" The door to the private room opened, and Song Yanzhi walked in, followed by a beautiful woman in a red dress with fluffy curly hair.
Her red dress wasn't revealing, but it made her look very elegant and sexy.
Song Yanzhi walked to the middle of the sofa, and the employees immediately squeezed to both sides to make room for two people.
"Who is this person next to Attorney Song?" Zhou Yuanming asked curiously, looking at the unfamiliar face he had brought.
"Girlfriend, Gu Xiaoxing, a jewelry designer."
"This is Zhou Yuanming, a partner at my law firm. You can call him Director Zhou." Song Yanzhi introduced them to each other.
"Hello, Director Zhou." Gu Xiaoxing extended her hand and shook hands with the other party, unaware of the undercurrents between Song Yanzhi and this old man, speaking in a very friendly tone.
Zhou Yuanming gave her a deep look and shook her hand. Why would he suddenly bring a girlfriend here at this time? Isn't it because he's guilty and wants to prove that he has nothing to do with Nan Xia?
I wasn't that suspicious before, but now I'm even more suspicious.
But how do I get rid of this troublesome woman? Tonight I'm going to set up a trap for Nan Xia and Song Yanzhi.
"Attorney Song, you're so late, you should have a few more drinks," Zhou Yuanming said, taking a new glass and pouring some foreign liquor for him and the woman.
Song Yanzhi took the wine bottle he had just poured, picked it up, poured some more for Zhou Yuanming, glanced at the old fox's expression, and seeing that he hadn't changed, he drank the wine with peace of mind.
"Attorney Song is here, aren't you all coming over to offer him a toast?" Zhou Yuanming called to the employees in the private room, hoping to get him drunk so that he would lower his guard.
Upon hearing his words, the employees all came over with their wine glasses to offer him a toast.
"No rush, let me have a few drinks with Director Zhou first." Song Yanzhi poured the old fox another glass of wine. Zhou Yuanming had been there for a long time and was already a little tipsy.
But the man insisted on drinking with him, so he had no choice but to drink.
Cai Cai took out her phone and secretly sent a message to Nan Xia, telling her: "Nan Xia, Lawyer Song is here, and he brought his girlfriend."
After receiving the message, Nan Xia merely glanced at it and replied: 【Who he takes is none of my business. From now on, you don't need to report Song Yanzhi's affairs to me.】
"Yes," the assistant replied with a single word.
It was past 10 p.m. when Nan Xia finally went to the private room at the club.
As she pushed open the door, many employees greeted her. She glanced at Song Yanzhi and the woman beside him, then quickly looked away, her gaze settling on Zhou Yuanming.
Seeing that he was already drunk, she slightly curled the corners of her lips.
I sat down diagonally across the sofa, not in the middle, not wanting to be too close to Song Yanzhi and his woman.
"Director Zhou, Nan Xia is here." Lin Yi shook him and said in a low voice.
