"Alright, don't be angry. He's just a weirdo. Let's just ignore him."
Chen Ningsheng pulled Xu Xinchen away with great displeasure, making her sit on his lap: "When did this person come here? He's been bothering you for so long, why didn't you tell me?"
When Chen Ningsheng went out, Xu Xinchen was talking to Chen Baifei, so he heard all the good things Xu Xinchen said about him.
Therefore, he had no doubt whatsoever that there was some connection between Xu Xinchen and Chen Baifei. He clearly realized that it was Chen Baifei who had been harassing Xu Xinchen all along, and that Xu Xinchen was very unwilling to be harassed by him.
Xu Xinchen frowned slightly and told Chen Ningsheng about her job search a while ago.
Chen Ningsheng was surprised to find that Chen Baifei had been here for so long and had already met Xu Xinchen. His face immediately turned as black as charcoal.
He pinched Xu Xinchen's waist hard, kissed her, and said, "Why didn't you tell me about this? If you had told me sooner, I would have..."
As Chen Ningsheng was speaking, he suddenly paused. He didn't want to tell Xu Xinchen about his methods, worried that she would be scared.
But Xu Xinchen seemed completely oblivious, gently nuzzling Chen Ningsheng's cheek: "So what? Are you trying to tell me you're going to ruin his job and stop him from staying here?"
Chen Ningsheng nodded sullenly. He was unsure whether to be happy or disappointed that Xu Xinchen had guessed his thoughts. Xu Xinchen really knew him too well, and he wondered if she was afraid of his methods.
Xu Xinchen reached out and pinched Chen Ningsheng's cheek, whispering to him, "You don't need to worry too much. He already knows I have a girlfriend, and it's you. As long as he knows your name, he definitely won't keep bothering me. Don't waste your time on such a boring person."
Chen Ningsheng nodded, picked up his chopsticks, took some food from the table, and fed it to Xu Xinchen: "I was so focused on talking to that guy that I forgot you hadn't eaten yet. Are you hungry? Come and eat."
Xu Xinchen nodded gently, quickly putting Chen Baifei's matter out of her mind. She opened her mouth and gladly accepted the food that Chen Ningsheng fed her.
On the other side, Chen Baifei returned to the original private room with a feeling of grief and indignation. Inside, two bloated middle-aged men were drinking with two pretty young women on either side of them.
Seeing Chen Baifei enter the private room, the two men looked up, and one of them gave Chen Baifei a lewd smile: "Little Chen, why did you take so long? Did you meet someone you like outside?"
The man next to him heard what the other man said and, in perfect agreement, revealed an extremely lewd smile: "Little Chen, just tell me which one you like. I'm very familiar with the madam of this hotel. If you like one, I can get her over right away."
Chen Baifei realized that he was still at work and that pleasing these two big customers would secure his future and give him a better chance to win over Lu Minshi. Therefore, he immediately put away his grief and indignation and put on a fawning smile.
He said to the two middle-aged men, "Mr. Wang, Mr. Lin, thank you for your trouble. I just had a bit of an upset stomach, so I stayed a little longer. Come, let me toast you both. I hope you have a great time today."
The two men looked at each other and suddenly burst into hearty laughter: "Good, very good, Xiao Chen, I like young people like you, quick-witted and very clear-headed, knowing what to do and what to say."
Chen Baifei was overjoyed. Thinking of the contract he was currently negotiating with them, he raised his wine glass and leaned closer to the speaker: "President Lin, what about our upcoming cooperation..."
The man Chen Baifei referred to as President Lin waved his hand and said, "Cooperation is no problem. I'll have someone prepare it as soon as I get back. Come on, let's not talk about this now and let's have a drink."
Although he didn't immediately sign a cooperation agreement with President Lin, Chen Baifei felt much more at ease after receiving President Lin's assurance. He picked up his wine glass and gulped down his drink.
The strong liquor made Chen Baifei cough violently several times, his face turning bright red. But his disheveled appearance did not make the two men feel any guilt; instead, they laughed even more happily.
"Xiao Chen, you can't go on like this. You need to work on your drinking capacity. Come on, let's keep drinking."
Chen Baifei watched as the two men poured wine into his empty glass. He showed no humiliation; instead, he smiled even more brightly: "Please forgive my rudeness, Mr. Wang and Mr. Lin. Here, I'll finish this one first."
What happened in the private room had nothing to do with Xu Xinchen and Chen Ningsheng. After they finished eating, Chen Ningsheng took Xu Xinchen home.
Xu Xinchen sat down in the study and continued working on the drawings she hadn't finished at Chen Ningsheng's company earlier that day.
Start writing and drawing.
Chen Ningsheng, meanwhile, stepped aside and started making a phone call. On the other end of the line was the man who had witnessed Xu Xinchen arguing with her former company's manager the day before.
When he heard Chen Ningsheng call him and ask him to investigate the man who appeared with Xu Xinchen, he remembered what he had seen and hurriedly told Chen Ningsheng about it.
After hearing this, Chen Ningsheng pinched the microphone so hard it looked like he was going to crush it: "Find out who the manager of that company is. Anyone who dares to mess with my people, I'll teach them a lesson."
The person on the other end of the phone readily agreed and immediately began investigating the matter Chen Ningsheng had instructed after hanging up.
Chen Ningsheng walked to the study door with a dark face, looking at Xu Xinchen who was hunched over the table drawing blueprints: "Why didn't you tell me about all the things that happened to you? I told you I wouldn't let you suffer."
Xu Xinchen looked up from the blueprints, staring blankly at Chen Ningsheng: "Huh? Ningsheng, what are you saying? I don't understand at all." Before she could hear her clearly, Chen Ningsheng suddenly stopped.
