Chapter 82 A Bed Partner
After receiving the award, Jiang Ning didn't take off his helmet until he reached the locker room door.
The women's and men's changing rooms are separate, and there's no one else here except her.
Jiang Ning went in wearing a racing suit, and came out having changed into his own clothes.
Besides winning prize money, racing also helps Jiang Ning release stress. The thrill of cornering at the limit and the sense of accomplishment when he is the first to cross the finish line are still exhilarating for Jiang Ning even after the race is over.
By this time, the night was deep.
Outside the international racetrack, spectators who had finished watching the race gradually came out, and the number of people dwindled until there was no one left.
The yellow Lamborghini Orion parked on the side of the road never left.
Yuan Pei had been sitting inside for almost half an hour.
The image of Lin Chu taking off his helmet at the locker room entrance kept replaying in Yuan Pei's mind, and his heart had been pounding ever since.
"How could that be..."
He muttered to himself, unable to understand.
"Lin Chu... how could it be Jiang Ning?"
Jiang Ning didn't go to the company the next day; instead, she drove to T City.
There is a law firm in City T where a partner named Shen Feiyang is said to have never lost a divorce case.
Jiang Ning ran into a wall in City A and decided to try his luck in City T.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Jiang, even for a consultation, an appointment is required in advance, and Attorney Shen's schedule is already booked until early next year."
"The schedule is booked until early next year?" Jiang Ning was shocked.
However, it is indeed divorce cases that support law firms of all sizes these days, which shows how many people want to get a divorce but are not successful in doing so each year.
After all that trouble, Jiang Ning drove back to City A and returned to her studio.
"President Jiang, Boss Wang called and said there's a dinner party tonight with big names in the art collecting world, and he'd like you to join us."
The person she was talking to was named Gu Qian. He had just graduated from university and had little experience. He was doing odd jobs for her.
"Didn't I tell you? Just call me by my name."
For Gu Qian, Jiang Ning was the boss.
However, Jiang Ning really wasn't used to being called "General Manager" or "General Manager" by others, especially by people she worked with. She always felt that she hadn't reached that level of status yet.
"Jiang...Jiang Ning?"
Gu Qian called out tentatively, his cheeks flushing.
Jiang Ning couldn't help but chuckle.
"Could you cancel Mr. Wang's dinner party for me tonight?"
Although Mr. Wang was indeed a big shot in the art collecting world, Jiang Ning didn't have a good impression of him.
“Jiang… Ning…” Gu Qian was a little unaccustomed to changing his address. “Although I can tell you don’t like socializing, but… our studio is just starting out, shouldn’t we be more proactive? You might think I’m meddling, but I also hope our studio can thrive… If we offend Boss Wang right from the start, I’m afraid…”
Jiang Ning understood what Gu Qian was about to say.
"...Okay, then please call Mr. Wang for me and tell him that I will be there on time for the dinner party tonight."
After Jiang Ning finished speaking, he saw that Gu Qian's eyes lit up.
Perhaps it's because this is Gu Qian's first job that he's so dedicated to it!
Jiang Ning smiled wryly, muttering to herself: Surely Gu Qian isn't afraid that her studio won't be able to survive since it just opened!
Gu Qian returned to his workstation, took out his phone to secretly send a WeChat message, and used his computer monitor to block it.
Chu Qingxue was driving when her phone rang.
While waiting at a red light, she picked up her phone and glanced at it, seeing that Gu Qian had sent her two words:
Done.
At night, City A is a dazzling, decadent place, filled with the lights of revelry.
Boss Wang and his group said it was a dinner party, but it was actually at a karaoke bar.
As soon as Jiang Ning pushed open the door, he saw several scantily clad "princesses" drinking and playing drinking games with Boss Wang and his group.
All the guests present were men; there wasn't a single woman.
Jiang Ning felt he had made a mistake in coming here.
"President Jiang is here! Come and sit down."
Mr. Wang patted his thigh with a grin.
Jiang Ning chose a spot furthest away from the group of people to sit down.
Although Mr. Wang was not very happy, he knew that Jiang Ning was not the kind of woman who would rush out to sell herself for money or resources.
"Mr. Jiang, I mentioned to you when your studio opened last time that AMS wanted to customize a batch of pocket watches as gifts for its VIP clients. They need a jewelry designer to set the watch faces, which requires a very high level of skill... I have high hopes for you... I've already contacted AMS..."
Mr. Wang's words stirred something within Jiang Ning.
However, Jiang Ning did not thank Boss Wang immediately, because no matter how you looked at it, it was impossible for such a good thing to fall into her lap so easily.
Seeing that Jiang Ning remained calm and showed no reaction, Boss Wang raised an eyebrow and continued:
"However... CL also contacted me, they also want this opportunity..."
CL is Chu Qingxue's studio.
"As you know, Chu Qingxue was recommended by Chairman Geng, and she has a secret relationship with Lu Junyan, the young master of the Lu Group. Even if I favor you more, I can't disregard the feelings of President Lu and Chairman Geng..."
As Mr. Wang spoke, he patted his thigh again.
"So, Mr. Jiang, you have to show some sincerity so that I feel I didn't introduce this business to you for nothing, don't you think?"
Jiang Ning knew that such social gatherings would inevitably involve sexual innuendo.
"Then let's just forget about it!"
She stood up to leave.
"Hey Mr. Jiang, don't be in such a hurry, have a seat."
Mr. Wang picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Jiang Ning.
"How about you have a drink with me?"
With so many people watching, Jiang Ning couldn't refuse Boss Wang even a drink, so she tilted her head back and downed the glass.
"Good alcohol tolerance."
Mr. Wang's friends applauded, and then glass after glass of wine were handed to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning stayed in the private room for a full hour, drinking and singing with him until his voice was hoarse and his stomach ached from drinking.
Mr. Wang tried to take advantage of Jiang Ning several times, but Jiang Ning's rejection was too obvious, so he didn't dare to force the issue.
After all, Jiang Ning and Pitt's relationship is unusual. Some say Jiang Ning is Pitt's girlfriend, while others say they are just bed partners.
If it's the latter, then Mr. Wang naturally wants a piece of the pie too.
"Boss Wang, I really can't drink anymore." Jiang Ning stood up unsteadily.
She made a huge sacrifice this time, but she did manage to get the AMS opportunity from Boss Wang.
Mr. Wang intended to take the opportunity to send Jiang Ning home, but before he could get close to Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning suddenly pushed open the door and rushed out.
She felt nauseous.
Jiang Ning wasn't familiar with this KTV, and she was already quite drunk. Before she could even find a restroom, she couldn't help but vomit all over the floor.
Only after she felt better from vomiting did she realize that the toes of a pair of men's leather shoes had been in her field of vision the whole time.
Jiang Ning straightened up and raised his head while wiping his mouth with a tissue.
Jiang Ning didn't recognize the man standing in front of him, but he had seen this face before, just today, on a poster.
