Chapter 89 Acting
Some unimportant people left the dinner party, and those who stayed were all big shots in Rongchuan. Zhou Jingyu was the youngest among the group and had the most casual attitude, but no one thought it was inappropriate. The treatment Chen Zan received outside would only be more exaggerated here for Zhou Jingyu.
Wei Qiming and his friends were discussing how to divide the land in Mingming West City, which families should be allowed in and which families should be excluded. This was almost a relatively secretive topic that touched the red line.
They didn't expect Zhang Qing to bring Chen Zan in so gracefully. They had to interrupt and looked at Chen Zan with confusion and even disapproval.
Maybe he felt that the female student next to Zhou Jingyu was becoming more and more ignorant.
Zhou Jingyu was wearing a white shirt and black trousers, with his long legs crossed, sitting lazily on the soft leather sofa in the main seat, with a cup of hot tea next to him. He had a cigar in his hand that was resting on the armrest. He had the air of a noble, cold and dandy young man, but his aura was so strong that he could suppress this group of old guys.
When he saw Chen Zan come in, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, but he did not blame her for coming suddenly.
He put down his cigar and reached out to her, "Why are you here?"
In fact, the moment Chen Zan came in, she began to regret it when several shrewd eyes fell on her, but she still walked in and put her hand in his warm palm.
Zhou Jingyu exerted a little force, and she sat down beside him. He curled his lips, pinched the back of her hand, and said lovingly, "How did you get in?"
Chen Zhan took a deep breath and said in a delicate voice, "Zhou Jingyu, I want to go back."
The others had different looks. Some looked at Song Changyun and asked him to say something. Song Changyun tactically drank his tea and pretended not to see anything, so he had to let Wei Qiming speak.
"Ms. Chen, we are discussing this with Jing Yu. Why don't you go sit outside for a while?" Wei Qiming, who is in this position and at this age, has really lost face because of Chen Zan many times.
Zhou Jingyu also took the opportunity to ask, "Should I ask the driver to take you home first, or do you want to go shopping nearby?"
Chen Zhan looked into his eyes that were filled with a faint smile, and finally bit the bullet and said the prepared lines, "Zhou Jingyu, who is more important, me or the things you talked about? Do you not love me anymore? I want you to send me back, otherwise I will be angry."
She had never been so unreasonable before. It was her first time playing this kind of character, and she handled it just so-so. Chen Zan realized belatedly that he had not performed well just now.
But the effect was very good. Wei Qiming's group of old men were dumbfounded, and Song Changyun almost couldn't help but spit the tea in his mouth back into the cup.
This, this, this, this...what is going on?
Zhou Jingyu was stunned for a moment, then blinked and laughed, "Okay, I'll take you home, just don't mess with me."
Wei Qiming frowned and said quickly: "Jingyu, from West City..."
Zhou Jingyu put his arm around Chen Zhan's waist and stood up, interrupting him. "Uncle Wei, regarding this matter, our Rongtou is just injecting capital. Ultimately, you have the final say. Just let me know when you've made a decision. I still have to appease her. If she's unhappy, you should really make a scene with me."
His tone was helpless, as if Chen Zan was only well-behaved in appearance but actually had a difficult personality.
Seeing Zhou Jingyu's only concern for coaxing women and his lack of interest in the project, Wei Qiming immediately smiled as well, but still said hypocritically, "Jingyu, you're the president of Rongtou, you better pay attention. Don't let anything go wrong, or the old leader will blame us for not taking good care of you. Women, you can't spoil them too much. You can coax them anytime."
After saying this, he looked at Chen Zan meaningfully again.
Chen Zhan couldn't help but hear that this was a reflection of her inner meaning, so she lowered her voice and made her scalp tingle, "Zhou Jingyu~"
The smile in Zhou Jingyu's eyes grew even more intense. "Look, Uncle Wei, I'd better leave first. Everyone, take your time chatting."
Wei Qiming was still pretending to keep her, but Zhou Jingyu had already taken the coat handed to him by Zhang Qing, put it on Chen Zan, and walked away with her.
After walking out of the door and entering the elevator, Chen Zhan wanted to pull her hand back and shake off the goose bumps on her arm, but Zhou Jingyu held her hand tightly, preventing her from moving.
He glared at her with his eyelids drooping, "Didn't you act pretty well just now?"
Chen Zhan said coldly, "Didn't you originally plan to bring me here to perform tonight?"
Don't think she can't see it, that playboy behavior is just for the people in the box to see.
Zhou Jingyu knew Chen Zan was smart, and the smile in his eyes faded a little, "Did you see that?"
Chen Zhan snorted softly. If he didn't see it, he couldn't act. "It would have been better if you had told me earlier. Maybe I could have cooperated with you better."
Zhou Jingyu held her in his arms helplessly, "I didn't intend to involve you, but you're the only one by my side. It doesn't matter whether you act tonight or not. I didn't tell you in advance because I didn't want you to be unhappy."
Chen Zhan pursed his lips, vaguely aware of something, and asked, "Did you come to Rongchuan for something else?"
Zhou Jingyu kept silent about the matter, but lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Your voice just now was very nice. Can you call me a few more times tonight?"
Chen Zhan reached out and pinched the flesh on his waist, "It's already this time and you're still flirting." Besides, Secretary Zhang is here.
Zhou Jingyu hissed softly. He had a face that was clearly noble and unattainable, but in private he loved to say obscene things. "That's when flirting becomes fun."
Zhang Qing, who was in front, wished he could dig a hole and crawl into it just by listening to the whispers behind him. The coin-operated machine felt that the elevator was so slow that as soon as the elevator door opened, he ran out quickly and said he would drive the car over.
As for the group of old guys in the box, Song Changyun didn't stay any longer after seeing Zhou Jingyu leave. He stood up and said, "I'm old and need to go to bed early at night, otherwise my blood pressure will be high again tomorrow. I'll leave first."
In addition, the cadres and subordinates who followed Song Changyun also left. When they were almost there, only people from Wei Qiming's faction were left in the room. They closed the door and had someone guarding outside.
The people inside thought, "Wei Bu, what do you think Zhou Jingyu and Song Changyun mean? Are they really going to stop doing this?"
Another person said disdainfully, "Zhou Jingyu is just a playboy obsessed with sex and lust. Didn't you see that he was completely absorbed in that female college student? He didn't care at all. With Song Changyun's share, why didn't he just leave in disgrace? He actually wants to take charge of the construction of West City?"
Several people were arguing loudly.
Wei Qiming's fingertips slowly rubbed the rim of the cup, his eyes full of calculation. He waited until their quarrel had almost ended before he said, "We've been on guard for half a year, but Zhou Jingyu is no match for his brother. Forget it, just assign the people who need to be assigned. Don't be impatient, take over slowly. Some things still need to be kept secret. Don't let anyone catch hold of you, otherwise no one can protect you."
