Chapter 19: Only Drinking, Not Going Out
"parking"
At Yin Dong's command, the driver drove the car to the right side of the road and stopped.
Jiang Yuan's heart tightened.
"Go down."
His voice was cold.
Jiang Yuan was frozen in place and didn't want to move, staring at him eagerly, but he didn't even look at her again, as cold and indifferent as an emotionless sculpture.
He spoke again, "Zhou Zhi."
The assistant responded and opened the car door.
Jiang Yuan's mood at this moment was the same as when he was visiting a grave. He secretly regretted that he was too impatient.
"No need, I can get off by myself."
She stepped back from his side, pushed open the car door, pursed her lips and looked at him again, then slowly moved her body and got out of the car.
Her feet had barely touched the ground when the car sped away from her.
Jiang Yuan stood in the cold wind. The heat brought down from the car was quickly penetrated by the cold wind. She wrapped her down jacket around her and sneezed several times in succession.
The snow under her feet creaked, and the biting north wind hit her face, causing a needle-like pain, but her mind became more and more clear.
It’s still my own fault that I’m too inexperienced and the other party is such a difficult character to deal with.
But judging from tonight's experience, Yin Dong is not actually completely unkind. As long as she puts in a little more effort, she will have the opportunity to take advantage of him.
But she is working overtime every day and hasn't been out with Sister Hui this week. If this continues, she may not be able to send money to her mother to pay off the debt next month.
Jiang Yuan was lost in thought when her cell phone rang.
It was her mother calling. Since the accident, Jiang Yuan and her mother have maintained a frequency of talking on the phone at least once a day to ease their concern for each other.
"mom"
"Yuanyuan, are you asleep?"
Jiang Yuan took two quick steps forward, found a corner sheltered from the wind, and pressed her phone to her lips. "Not yet. I'm looking at listings at home."
"It's snowing again at home. Is it cold in North City?"
Jiang Yuan: "It's not cold, it's warm here. Mom, you're home alone, so make sure to turn on the electric heater. Don't worry about the electricity bill. What if you get sick when I'm not home?"
Her mother said, "Okay, I'll listen to you. Don't worry about me. You can take care of yourself outside. We will pay off these debts together. Don't be too anxious to make money. You're about to graduate. Don't sell houses anymore. Find a good job..."
Jiang Yuan interrupted her mother, "Mom, I know, did the debt collector come to make trouble today?"
Her mother said, "I did as you said and told them to give them the money on time next month. They've been quiet for a while now, and the store at home is open."
Jiang Yuan nodded, "That's good, don't worry about the money."
"Yuanyuan..."
"Mom, I'm sleepy. I'm hanging up now."
It was already past 11 o'clock in the evening when Jiang Yuan returned to her rented house, and Sister Hui was not there.
Jiang Yuan looked at the balance in her bank card, was stunned for a moment, picked up her phone and sent a message to Xu Hui.
"Sister Hui, where are you? I'm free tonight. Do you need anyone?"
Not long after, Sister Hui sent me a location, which was a bar. She added a message at the end, "Only drinking companionship, not prostitution. Ten thousand yuan a night. Think about it. If you don't want to come, forget it."
Before, Sister Hui had taken Jiang Yuan to high-end business bureaus, and she had never been to a purely entertainment bar.
Jiang Yuan held the phone, hesitated for a moment, then quickly changed her clothes, got in a taxi and left.
As soon as she got into the taxi, Jiang Yuan received a call from Liang Zhouheng.
"Sister, are you back from get off work?"
Not long after she left the company, Liang Zhouheng called her. Jiang Yuan guessed that it was Yin Dong who revealed her whereabouts.
She replied: "Yes, is there anything wrong, Brother Liang?"
"Tomorrow is the weekend and you don't have to work. Come out and relax. There's a nice new bar here. I'll pick you up."
During this week, Jiang Yuan received flowers from Liang Zhouheng every day at the company. In addition, he called her three times to invite her, but she turned them down all on the grounds of adapting to her new job.
Jiang Yuan felt that although Liang Zhouheng seemed easygoing and polite, he was not as good-tempered as he seemed. She might as well make things clear to him as soon as possible.
She thought for a moment and said, "Brother Liang, it's really too late today and I'm a little tired. So, I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow at noon to thank you."
Liang Zhouheng responded with a smile on the phone.
