Chapter 16 The Gift of Being Sent to Bed
Senior Luo Qiuyue had indeed arranged a dinner appointment with Chen Zhan in advance to thank her for accepting this urgent order. Originally, Chen Zhan was paid for submitting work, so if she had to express gratitude, she had to thank the senior for giving her the part-time job opportunity.
I don’t know what’s going on this time. She’s trying hard to invite Chen Zan to dinner, and even booked a table at the restaurant in advance. She won’t refund the deposit unless she goes.
Chen Zan wanted to continue taking orders, and the senior sister was so enthusiastic. Since the words had come to this point, if she didn't go, it would seem that she was too pretentious, so she had to agree.
The senior student meant to just have a meal, so Chen Zan was dressed very casually, and didn't even take off his black-framed glasses. The biggest sincerity he showed was that he washed his hair before going out.
Xu Anan was taking pictures of her newly done nails when she saw the gray hooded sweatshirt on Chen Zhan. Her eyes darkened and she couldn't help but complain, "Zhan Zhan, even though your face would look good with a sack on it, isn't that a bit of a spoiling for her?"
Chen Zhan smiled embarrassedly and said, "I'm in a hurry. I'll leave first."
After saying that, he picked up the keys and left before Xu Anan could say the next word of complaint.
It was the evening rush hour, and taking the subway was faster than taking a taxi. We arrived at the restaurant location that the senior student sent us at exactly seven o'clock.
The hotel's exterior decoration looks quite high-end. It is next to a shopping mall and there is a star-rated hotel upstairs.
Luo Qiuyue took a taxi and was five minutes late due to traffic. She was carrying a computer and wearing high heels. "Sorry, the traffic was too congested."
Chen Zan expressed his understanding.
Luo Qiuyue saw Chen Zhan wearing a sweatshirt and wide-leg pants, a typical good student outfit, and frowned slightly. "Zhan Zhan, this restaurant is quite stylish. How about I take you to buy some clothes and then go to dinner?"
Chen Zhan was stunned for a moment, "Does this restaurant have a dress code?"
Luo Qiuyue said, "I just wanted to give you some clothes because you're so pretty."
Chen Zan probably didn't expect that just because he came out for a casual meal, people would actually complain about his clothes being too rustic?
"Thank you for your kindness, Senior, but it's really not necessary. If this restaurant has any requirements, let's go to another restaurant. I'll treat you to a meal. Anything is fine."
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and started choosing a nearby restaurant.
Seeing this, Luo Qiuyue quickly grabbed Chen Zhan's wrist and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think before I spoke. I don't have any requirements for this restaurant, so let's go with this one. It's not easy to get a reservation at this time."
After saying that, he pulled Chen Zan into the restaurant. The waiter at the door opened the door and said welcome.
Chen Zhan was a little confused about her senior at first, but after entering the restaurant, she found that the decor and the diners were indeed quite formal, which made her outfit seem a bit out of place.
Luo Qiuyue sat down and said with a wry smile: "Zhanzhan, feel free to order whatever you want to eat tonight. You're welcome. Please forgive my inconsiderateness at the door just now."
Chen Zan opened the menu and raised his eyebrows slightly. The dishes here were not cheap. Any serving of stir-fried seasonal vegetables would cost 288.
Sister Luo’s family is not rich. On the contrary, she is a good student who came from the mountains. She applied for student loans in college and received scholarships every year due to her excellent grades.
She originally had a place in the postgraduate study, but she turned down the application in order to start working and earning money earlier.
The publishing house had a limited salary, so in Chen Zhan's impression, Luo Qiuyue would not come to such an expensive restaurant to consume, or to be more precise, she would not spend so much money to treat Chen Zhan to a meal.
She closed the menu and handed it to the other party, "Senior sister, I'm not familiar with this place, so you should order."
Luo Qiuyue took it and opened it to take a look. Although her face froze for a moment, it quickly returned to normal. Then she asked Chen Zan about his dietary restrictions and ordered about three or four dishes, which cost about two thousand in total.
Chen Zan estimated that the total translation fees she earned this week were only two thousand yuan.
As if aware of Chen Zan's suspicion, Luo Qiuyue took the initiative to say, "My quarterly bonus has been paid out, it's tripled, so I wanted to find someone to celebrate with. You know my family isn't well off and I don't have many friends, so the first person I thought of after receiving the bonus was you."
Chen Zhan was stunned for a moment, then thought to himself, "So that's how it is," and smiled softly, "Congratulations, Senior Sister."
Luo Qiuyue ordered two more glasses of wine, and Chen Zan wanted to say that he didn't drink.
Luo Qiuyue interrupted her: "Drink with me, even just a small sip."
It’s not a good idea to spoil the fun with Chen Zan, so just take a sip.
The wine arrived before the dishes.
Two cups of pink and blue cocktails, little girls will love them at first sight.
The two clinked their glasses. Luo Qiuyue looked at Chen Zhan and took a sip before suddenly saying, "Chen Zhan, sometimes I envy you."
She didn't know if it was Chen Zan's illusion, but she actually saw a hint of jealousy in Luo Qiuyue's eyes. When she looked carefully, she saw that she had returned to her gentle and intellectual appearance.
Chen Zhan lowered his eyes, quickly hiding the doubts in his eyes, and at the same time, a bad and even dangerous premonition arose in his heart.
She pretended to be calm and said, "Senior, I think you are pretty good too."
Luo Qiuyue smiled and said nothing, just continued drinking.
Chen Zan's heartbeat was getting faster and faster. They were sitting in the corner behind the screen.
When she came in, Luo Qiuyue explained that when she called to reserve a table, all the window seats outside had already been booked.
The dining tables in the hall are separated by screens with intricate patterns to ensure privacy among guests.
She carefully took out her cell phone and quickly wanted to type to Xu Anan, asking her to come to the restaurant to find her, but as soon as she opened the dialog box, the 26-square grid keys in front of her suddenly became double, and she was sweating all over.
Snap!
The phone fell to the ground.
Luo Qiuyue put down her wine glass and looked at Chen Zan, who was lying unconscious on the table opposite her.
I took out my cell phone from my bag and dialed the number at the top that had no notes.
"I have completed the task you assigned to me. When will the money be transferred to me?"
A few seconds later, a message popped up saying that 100,000 yuan had been deposited into my bank card.
Luo Qiuyue hung up the phone, stood up and picked up Chen Zan's phone from the ground. The message in the chat box failed to be sent successfully, so she clicked delete.
…
Wei Qiming hosted the party and invited several uncles from the Zhou family in Rongchuan, so Zhou Jingyu had no choice but to go.
During the meal, they were repeatedly forced to drink white wine, which made Zhang Qing's stomach burn. He quickly asked for tea, which made him feel better. He pretended to be exhausted and waved his hands, saying, "Uncle Wei, I can't drink today. I'll treat you next time."
Wei Qiming's intention today wasn't to get Zhou Jingyu drunk, so he laughed and said, "Okay, that's all for today."
After saying that, he took two steps closer and said, "Jingyu, stay here tonight. I've got a big gift for you. I'm sure you'll like it. Go take a look."
Zhou Jingyu said on the surface that the old man did not allow him to take things outside, but he let Zhang Qing take the room card.
After the drinking party, Zhou Jingyu's expression calmed down. He tugged at the tie around his neck. His neck and ears were all red. It was obvious that he was not feeling well due to drinking too much liquor.
Zhang Qing looked at the room card and asked, "Are you staying here tonight?"
Zhou Jingyu glanced at it and rubbed his brows, "Since he has accepted it, let's wait and see what big gift he has in store."
…
Chen Zan felt like he was lying on a soft velvet bed, his consciousness was floating in and out, and his whole body was hot.
Suddenly I heard the sound of water coming from the bathroom. Who was taking a shower?
Her first reaction was to get up, but she felt completely exhausted. Not only did she find it difficult to sit up, she even found it difficult to lift her eyelids.
I don’t know how long it took, but the footsteps came closer and closer, and the other side of the mattress suddenly sank. There was no light in the room, only the dim and useless light strip under the bedside table. All the movements seemed to be magnified.
Suddenly, she smelled the scent of alcohol and the woody scent of a man that she had smelled on another person before.
Before she could think about it, the man seemed to be lying on the bed, and even the pillow on one side of her sank. Chen Zhan wanted to make a sound, but she could hear the light and seductive gasps coming out of her throat.
