Chapter 13 You seem to have that serious illness
The class monitor was the first to react: "Hey, isn't this our CEO Xu? Come, come, sit here."
Xu Qing nudged Yi Tiantian: "Didn't the class monitor organize this gathering to pursue Song Yilin? Why did he invite Xu Qingmin? Isn't he afraid that Xu Qingmin will steal Song Yilin away?"
Yi Tiantian looked disgusted: "Pursuing Song Yilin is just a side effect. His goal is to get in touch with Xu Qingmin. If he wins over Song Yilin, it will be a pleasant surprise. Love is not as important as career. The class monitor is willing to spend money to have a gathering at such an expensive private restaurant. He must have something to give back. At our age, we shouldn't spend money on love."
That's why Yi Tiantian said the quality of the boys in their class wasn't very good. In the past, the class monitor and others would organize many gatherings with the aim of seeing Xu Qingmin, but Xu Qingmin never attended their gatherings. Not to mention gatherings, Xu Qingmin didn't pay attention to them during their student days. Today's gathering invitation specifically added Song Yilin to attend, and the class monitor was using Song Yilin to lure Xu Qingmin.
Xu Qing and Liu Lian nodded in agreement.
When Xu Qingmin arrived, all eyes were on him. Most of the students wanted to get involved with him, as he represented absolute power in Jianghai City.
Some female classmates still harbored a bit of the dream of a domineering CEO falling in love with me.
Song Yilin's goal was the same as most people's: she wanted to get resources from Xu Qingmin. If she could secure those 50 cars, not only would her position as general manager be secure, but the deal would also be very lucrative in terms of her overall commission.
Song Yilin took a glass of wine and pushed through the crowd: "President Xu, I'd like to propose a toast to you."
He finished speaking and downed a glass of baijiu in one gulp.
Xu Qingmin was momentarily taken aback when he saw Song Yilin's wine glass.
He then toasted Song Yilin as well.
However, Song Yilin wisely refrained from adding Xu Qingmin on WeChat, because she knew that if Xu Qingmin were willing to add her, it would be his work WeChat, no different from adding Xiao Li.
Song Yilin politely exchanged a few words with Xu Qingmin before leaving to talk to the others.
Like a seasoned party girl, she moved among different classmates, and in the time it took to eat a meal, she had found out almost everything about their current jobs and where they worked.
After complimenting Xu Qingmin, the class monitor approached Song Yilin and said, "Yilin, you're working at Xin'ao 4S store now, right? I'm also planning to buy a new car recently, and I'm thinking of something with a lot of space and good power. Can you give me a recommendation?"
Upon hearing that they were selling cars, Song Yilin became interested and unconsciously tried to get closer to the class monitor: "Let me tell you, our store's Q5 is just what you need. We have a lot of discounts right now. Come to our store another day, and I'll personally serve you."
"Okay then."
Song Yilin filled her own glass and the class monitor's glass: "Call me when you get there, remember, let me toast you first."
Song Yilin and the class monitor drank several cups in a row, but Song Yilin always felt that a gaze like a knife was watching her. When she turned around to look for that gaze, it was gone.
As the drinking progressed, the restroom in their private room remained occupied, so Song Yilin went to the restroom in the restaurant's main hall. Just as she came out of the women's restroom, she saw Xu Qingmin leaning against the wall in the narrow passageway.
Song Yilin immediately reverted to her humble working-class demeanor: "President Xu is in the restroom. I wonder if the tea suits your taste?"
Xu Qingmin's expression was like that of someone catching their cheating wife.
"The aged tea has a slightly fishy smell."
Then they left the restaurant.
Is this statement referring to her tea or to her as a person?
Or is it about what she did to him back then? Does he still hold a grudge?
The thought that Xu Qingmin might hold a grudge against Song Yilin sent chills down her spine. If Xu Qingmin retaliated against her, she wouldn't even be able to stay in Jianghai City.
While Song Yilin was still in shock, Yi Tiantian, Liu Lian, and Xu Qing came out and helped Song Yilin walk out, saying, "Come on, let's go to a nightclub and pick up some young men."
Song Yilin had drunk quite a bit of alcohol at the restaurant, and was already slightly tipsy by the time she got to the bar.
The four women got drunk and started dancing wildly in the club, when two handsome young men joined them.
Song Yilin got into a good mood and played several games with one of them. This young man was also very good at persuading people to drink, and she was forced to drink several glasses in a row, which made her head start to spin.
Yi Tiantian whispered in her ear, "This is a bar's marketing strategy. If you like it, remember to pay when you take it away."
Hearing this made Song Yilin even more excited; she liked spending money on things that were fun.
She rested her head directly in the older brother's arms and touched his abs with her hand.
Yi Tiantian drank the least among the four of them, and saw Xu Qingmin walking towards them with a dark face from the corner.
Song Yilin was completely immersed in the handsome man's chest.
Yi Tiantian shook Song Yilin to wake her up.
Although Yi Tiantian knew that Song Yilin and Xu Qingmin had no relationship now, she still vividly remembered how possessive Xu Qingmin was during their student days.
Xu Qingmin pulled Song Yilin directly out of the young man's arms.
His expression was as if he wanted to devour Song Yilin.
Seeing that something was wrong, Yi Tiantian and the other two sobered up considerably. They exchanged glances and slipped away in an instant.
Xu Qingmin pulled Song Yilin outside the bar.
The north wind was biting. Song Yilin was originally dressed in a tight-fitting strapless dress with a jacket, but she took off the jacket when she went to the bar. The outfit was appropriate at the bar, but it was a bit too 'sexy' on the street.
A cold wind blew, bringing a bone-chilling cold.
Xu Qingmin's face was full of anger as he roared in a low voice, "Song Yilin, when did you fall into this state, or have you always been this kind of person?"
Song Yilin tried hard to regain her composure, but she was still completely confused: "Huh?"
Xu Qingmin said with disdain in his eyes, "You cheated on me when you were with me, and now you're planning to cheat on your husband? Are you that desperate for a man?"
"I cheated on my husband? He died in Yishi, and I'm still expected to remain faithful to him?"
Is Xu Qingmin trying to build a monument to his chastity? Can't a single woman like her flirt with a young, handsome man?
Xu Qingmin took a step back and said self-deprecatingly, "I was narrow-minded. I didn't know you guys could have such fun."
Song Yilin, her mind somewhat hazy, solemnly called out Xu Qingmin's name: "Xu Qingmin."
"You seem to have that serious illness."
Song Yilin was glad she hadn't married Xu Qingmin; otherwise, if he were to die one day, he might demand that she be buried with him.
Xu Qingmin looked at Song Yilin's words with surprise, feeling speechless yet somewhat cute, and unconsciously moved a little closer to her.
Song Yilin looked at the face so close to hers, and it overlapped with the boy she had loved in her youth.
That was a face that filled her entire youthful memories.
As if possessed, Song Yilin raised her hand and touched the face that had appeared countless times in her dreams.
Xu Qingmin stared wide-eyed in astonishment at Song Yilin's hand in disbelief.
Xu Qingmin grabbed Song Yilin's hand.
Song Yilin felt the warmth of Xu Qingmin's palm on her forearm.
Xu Qingmin's lips suddenly covered mine.
Song Yilin's mind went blank.
My childhood memories were suddenly triggered.
