50 Avoid him like a ghost

Wen Zihuan originally thought that he would just postpone such things in the future. He was more suitable to be a boss who was behind the scenes and only capable of directing things.

Zhou Jingbai's identity meant that it was inevitable for him to meet him in the business circle, not to mention that there were some people who knew him before he met him. Although there were very few of them, it felt that this circle was not as big as he imagined. He could meet some familiar people at some cocktail parties and dinners.

Maybe there was just one of his people by coincidence.

Imagination is beautiful, but reality is cruel.

Wen Zihuan had just decided to try not to show up in public, but he didn't expect that he had just returned to the company and hadn't even sat down when he got a call from General Manager Lin, saying that their company would have a celebration banquet next week and wanted to invite him to attend.

The words on the other end were very polite, and every word was flattering him. Wen Zihuan knew that he couldn't let the secretary go to the celebration banquet. The other party was a big shot after all. If he really did that, wouldn't it be directly trampling on the other party's face?

He wanted to find a reason to refuse, but General Manager Lin was too talkative. He didn't even have a chance to say a word during the call.

When the call was hung up, he didn't even say the word of refusal. Fortunately, Lu Zhou finally came back in the evening.

He couldn't help but share with Mr. Lin what happened when he met Zhou Jingbai today.

"I originally thought that this cooperation had already been done, and there was no need to meet again in the future, but when I just returned to the company today, Mr. Lin called me and invited me to attend their celebration dinner next month. Before I directly refused, he just took my consent and hung up the phone. Can you go for me?"

Although Mr. Lin had only met twice, he felt that he was a difficult person to deal with, mainly because every word he said was good and could not be better. As the saying goes, you should not hit a smiling person. He was almost praising himself to the sky in his words and deeds, and he would feel bad if he didn't give him a little face.

But it was not appropriate to let Secretary Dong go, so he could only think of Lu Zhou. It would definitely be no problem for him to attend the dinner in his capacity as a substitute.

"Are you worried about running into Zhou Jingbai at the dinner?" Lu Zhou pointed out the reason why he didn't dare to attend the dinner.

He was indeed right. Wen Zihuan could guess with just a little guess that there was a high probability that that person would show up at the dinner.

When he saw the two of them in the private room today, they should have a good cooperative relationship. Zhou Jingbai might really show up at that time by chance.

"You are just divorced. Why are you avoiding him like a ghost? I saw you sticking to him at home before. How come I didn't realize that you were so afraid of him?"

Wen Zihuan didn't know how to explain for a moment, "I just feel a little embarrassed." In the end, he could only make up a random excuse to prevaricate.

"It's not that I won't help you. I'm going on a business trip for a few days next week, so I definitely can't go. Anyway, it's not a very formal dinner. Let the secretary go with you. If you really don't want to stay for long, then you can say a few polite words to Mr. Lin and drink a few sips of wine and leave early."

Lu Zhou just finished speaking and seemed to suddenly think of something, "You'd better not drink. I've seen your alcohol tolerance before. Let the secretary find you a drink to pretend."

Wen Zihuan could only accept this result helplessly. It felt that the more he didn't want to face something, the faster it would come.

A week passed quickly, and it was time to attend Mr. Lin's celebration dinner.

Secretary Dong had picked out clothes for him a day in advance, but Wen Zihuan didn't care. After all, he was just going to hang out and leave, so there was no need to be so particular.

Perhaps he was worried about running into Zhou Jingbai, so he acted like a thief from the moment he entered the room. He

was clearly a distinguished guest who was formally invited to the dinner with an invitation letter, but he ended up looking like a freeloader.

Secretary Dong next to him couldn't help but remind him that it would be better to act more normal, as it seemed that the more he acted like this, the more likely he would attract other people's attention.

For example, there were already several glances cast at him now, probably because they thought he was unfamiliar and his behavior was strange.

Wen Zihuan also noticed this quickly, so he straightened his back and stopped looking around.

He had planned to find Mr. Lin as soon as possible, greet him, and then lie that he had an emergency at the company and then leave.

In the end, he didn't find Mr. Lin but found Zhou Jingbai.

He took a deep breath when he saw the familiar figure. What he feared was bound to happen. Why did he feel that he had the potential of a crow's mouth? It would be better not to always think about what he was afraid of in the future, otherwise it would really come true.

Wen Zihuan turned around without hesitation to avoid him, and then finally found Mr. Lin who was surrounded by a group of people and talking with great effort.

And Zhou Jingbai next to him...

He was about to turn around and walk away when the sharp-eyed General Manager Lin noticed him, "General Manager Wen, you are finally here. I couldn't find you and thought you weren't here."

General Manager Lin said this while walking towards him, but he didn't expect Zhou Jingbai to follow him and kept looking at him.

Wen Zihuan subconsciously avoided his gaze and was forced to listen to General Manager Lin's chattering, which he didn't really understand.

"General Manager Lin, I'm going to the bathroom. Excuse me." Wen Zihuan really couldn't stand it. He felt that at the speed he was finding topics, he would not be able to leave even after the dinner was over.

So he thought of leaving for a while under the pretext of going to the bathroom. General Manager Lin likes to chat and will definitely turn around and chat with other people. Then he would ask Secretary Dong to go over and say hello to him and say that he had to go back first because of an emergency.

"Let's do it, let's do it." Wen Zihuan nodded and walked towards the bathroom.

But when he entered the bathroom, he found someone following him.

"Wen Zihuan!"

"Huh?" Wen Zihuan looked at Zhou Jingbai who followed him with a puzzled look.

"Is there something?" He really couldn't think of what Zhou Jingbai wanted to ask him to do. His Zhou family was so rich and powerful that they didn't need to curry favor with a small family like him.

"How have you been recently?"

This tacky beginning made people speechless for a while.

"Much better than before."

Although Wen Zihuan didn't want to meet him, now that he couldn't avoid meeting him, he absolutely couldn't lose this tone.

After this sentence came out, Zhou Jingbai didn't utter a word for a long time.

"If you're just here to say hello, then there's no need. I wonder when Mr. Zhou is getting married, so I'd like to congratulate him first." Wen Zihuan was about to leave the bathroom after he finished speaking, but he couldn't help but praise himself in his heart that the past two months of learning were not in vain. This

was the first time he was so handsome and tough in front of Zhou Jingbai. Thinking back to the past, he was really proud now.

"I'm not going to get married."

"What?" Wen Zihuan turned his head curiously.

Then some bad memories came to his mind, when he and Fang Xingluo were kidnapped.

Zhou Jingbai chose to save Fang Xingluo, and the two of them were affectionate over there, while he was worried about how many days he could live.

"Forget it, it has nothing to do with me." Wen Zihuan continued to walk forward with a dark face.

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry?" He stopped again.

It was rare for Zhou Jingbai to say this, especially to him.

"I overheard Fang Xingluo and his mother talking about the kidnapping a few days ago. I didn't expect that he planned it himself."

However, he heard more than just this one thing that day...

Wen Zihuan said nothing and left.

Fortunately, Mr. Lin was already chatting happily with others after he came out. It seemed that he didn't have time to continue to pester him.

At this time, he noticed a figure hurriedly walking towards him. He thought it was Secretary Dong, but he didn't expect that the man would hug his shoulders the next second.

Wen Zihuan turned around in surprise and found that the person next to him was Lu Zhou, "Why are you here? Aren't you on a business trip?"

"My schedule changed and I came back early. I just happened to pass by and thought of coming to see you. Why are you so absent-minded? What happened? Hmm? Tell me." "

Nothing."

"Really? You don't look like nothing's wrong."

"Really nothing."

"Lu Zhou?" Zhou Jingbai suddenly appeared behind him.

He just stayed for a minute before coming out, and saw Wen Zihuan being hugged by someone on the shoulder intimately. The two talked very close to each other. Of course, he could see the relationship between the two.

But he didn't expect that this person was Lu Zhou.

"Isn't this our Young Master Zhou? I was a bit busy during this period and didn't visit you. Please forgive me." Although Lu Zhou said polite words, his tone and expression were not polite, but full of hostility.

However, Zhou Jingbai was now focusing on the close relationship between the two and didn't feel anything wrong.

"What are you doing?" He couldn't help asking.

"Young Master Zhou is already married for the second time, can't you see that?" Lu Zhou sneered.

"Wen Zihuan, you are so impatient just after the divorce? Did you already have a relationship before?"

He remembered that Lu Zhou had not come to his house since his divorce. He used to come to visit very frequently, but he stopped coming after Wen Zihuan left. Moreover, every time he came, he would find excuses to ask Wen Zihuan to bring him food and water...

Wen Zihuan was angry at his words, "Zhou Jingbai, since we are divorced, then it has nothing to do with you who I am. I have been a dog in your Zhou family for three years. Do I have to remain a virgin for you after I leave?"

"Don't be angry. Didn't I say it before? Don't get excited." Lu Zhou helped him to calm down.

"Wait for me in the car first. I'll buy you a cake from your favorite dessert shop when we pass by."

Wen Zihuan glanced at him, nodded, and then turned around and went out with Secretary Dong.

"Lu Zhou, what do you mean?"

"What can I mean? Zhou Jingbai, he was your man before, I just thought about him but didn't take action. Now that we're divorced, I can't take action, right?"
