Ye Shi arrived at the agreed location on time, which was a revolving music restaurant.
"Hello Ms. Ye, please come in."
As soon as she arrived at the door of the private room, a waiter led her inside.
There were three or four men and women in suits sitting in the private room. They stopped talking to each other when she entered.
One of the women stood up and greeted her, "You must be Ms. Ye Shi, please have a seat."
Ye Shichao and the others smiled politely, and the waiter pulled out chairs for them to sit down.
"This is our boss; he's the one who wants to see you."
The man sitting in the main seat was a middle-aged man with a beer belly, who seemed quite easygoing.
"Ye Shi, I watched your video. If you weren't a seasoned musician, you wouldn't be able to see your profound musical skills. You must have studied music before, right?"
"Yes, I've learned a little bit of all kinds of musical instruments."
"Interested in joining our studio?"
Ye Shi paused for a moment, then said tactfully, "I don't have any plans to return to music right now. You can consider other more talented people."
"That's a real pity. I've set my sights on you. It's been a long time since I've seen someone as talented as you."
"You flatter me."
"Let's have a drink together, and maybe we can become friends," the owner said, raising his glass to her.
Ye Shi poured herself a cup of tea. "I don't drink alcohol, so I'll drink tea instead."
Someone nearby said, "You can't just use tea instead of wine. That's not sincere enough. You have to drink wine."
Ye Shi thought to herself, if she had known that drinking was a must, she wouldn't have come!
"I'm sorry, I really can't drink alcohol."
"It's alright, this wine has a very low alcohol content, it won't make you drunk, a little bit is fine." The woman who had just spoken got up and came over, pouring her a full glass of wine.
Ye Shi watched as his brows furrowed even more deeply, showing no intention of compromising.
"Drink up, this liquor really isn't very strong."
“Shishi can’t hold her liquor, she can’t drink it all, I’ll drink it for her.”
Zhu Huai suddenly walked in from outside, went straight to the dining table, and drank the glass of wine in one gulp.
Ye Shi was also surprised by his appearance.
However, everyone else in the private room seemed completely unperturbed.
The boss stood up and laughed, "Why are you here? There's no need to be so protective of your own. We wouldn't bully Miss Ye."
Zhu Huai hugged them and said, "You can't make things difficult for Shishi because of me. I've already said that Shishi and I used to be classmates. Although we dated, that's all in the past."
"It's not that we're trying to make things difficult, we just want to make friends with this beautiful Ms. Ye. Girls who catch your eye are all quite good, as we've all seen today."
It turns out they all knew each other.
Anger spread through Ye Shi's chest.
The group chatted and laughed, pointing and whispering about her.
She turned and left with a cold expression, carrying her bag, without saying a word.
"Shishi!"
Zhu Huai chased after her and stopped her in the corridor.
"Zhu Huai, do you find it funny to make fun of me? Or do you think you're so high and mighty now that everyone else is just a plaything in your eyes?"
Ye Shi raised her head, her eyes blazing with anger, furious to the extreme.
“That’s not what I meant. They are my friends. They watched your video that day and said they wanted to meet you. They were just joking. They didn’t mean to make fun of you.”
Zhu Huai tried to touch her, but Ye Shi pushed him away.
"Get away from me, don't come too close, I find it disgusting!"
