Because he had an excellent face and great fortune, and he seemed to be protected by something, which she guessed was something blessed or something like that.
In short, he is destined for great wealth and prosperity, free from hardship, and will live a peaceful life.
With a life like that, there's no need for those things to protect you.
However, since he has nightmares, he should need a sleeping charm.
"Thank you," Jiang Ningyuan said with a smile.
"I should be thanking you. I think I bumped into you at the hotel entrance last time. I'm so sorry."
"I was too tired at the time and didn't notice."
Jiang Yuan said gratefully.
She still remembered this incident. She could have sent Jiang Ningyuan a message to thank him, but sending a message was not as sincere as saying it in person.
That's why she's been dragging it out until now.
"It's nothing," Jiang Ningyuan replied.
That was a small matter for him, but Jiang Yuan still remembers it to this day.
"Are you hungry?" Jiang Ningyuan asked, looking at Jiang Yuan.
“A little.” Jiang Yuan nodded.
Although she ate some dessert here, she only ate a little, as she doesn't really like sweets.
I'm a little hungry now.
"What a coincidence, I'm hungry too. Can we have a meal together?" Jiang Ningyuan squinted, a smile appearing in his eyes.
“Okay, but could you wait for me a moment?” Jiang Yuan nodded in reply, her gaze falling on Xu Zhe and the others not far away.
Jiang Ningyuan followed Jiang Yuan's gaze.
Xu Zhe and the others did not let the man go. After he vomited the wine they had poured into him, they went even further, grabbing his chin and forcing him to drink more.
What should have been a proper banquet turned into a scene of bullying.
The key point is that no one from the Jiang family came out to stop it.
He probably wouldn't have come to such a banquet if Jiang Yuan hadn't been there.
"Do you need any help?" Jiang Ningyuan asked.
"I just want to discuss business, not fight. I don't need your help," Jiang Yuan replied, shaking her head.
Jiang Ningyuan raised an eyebrow.
Discuss business?
Jiang Yuan walked past Jiang Ningyuan, and under everyone's gaze, she walked confidently to Xu Zhe and the others with her head held high.
Xiao Yong'an vomited a few times, almost bringing up bile, and felt dizzy and disoriented.
He even regretted that he had approached Xu Zhe and his group.
"Xiao Yong'an, we're all old friends, how can you be so rude? You're being offered a toast and you still have the nerve to refuse?"
"At a drinking party, someone like you should punish yourself with three bottles."
"However, since we're friends, I'll agree to what you just said if you can finish this bottle of wine."
Xu Zhe put down the bottle of liquor in his hand, picked up another bottle of high-proof liquor, and placed it in front of the man.
"Xiao Yong'an, it's worth it to exchange a bottle of wine for a business partner."
"The opportunity is right in front of you; if you miss it, it will be gone forever."
Wang Jiujiu spoke, looking at Xiao Yong'an as if he were a toy.
This long-lost feeling brought her back to the past.
I've vented all the anger and humiliation I suffered at Jiang Yuan's place, and I feel much better now.
“I…” Xiao Yong’an looked at the bottle of liquor in front of him, hesitating.
He doesn't drink alcohol.
When he approached Xu Zhe earlier, Xu Zhe only asked to have a drink. Later, he and Hanwen grabbed him and forced him to drink.
They said that if he finished those bottles of wine, they would agree to persuade his father to cooperate with their courier company.
The Xu family operates a brand, owns its own factory, and sells its products directly or through suppliers.
For self-operated and self-sold businesses, cooperation with express delivery companies is usually required, and their company is an express delivery company.
Their business was doing well before, but then a courier company opened nearby and drove down their prices. Before they could react, the company stole their customers. By the time they realized what was happening and lowered their prices as well, it was too late.
Even after the price reduction, the workers' wages remained the same, but their income decreased month by month.
The wages he paid to the workers these past few months were all from his father's savings.
They intended to lay off some workers, but...
Those workers had worked for them for several years, and since his father was kind-hearted, he had initially hired mostly disabled people.
If we fire them, they will lose their income and definitely won't be able to support their families.
His father couldn't bear it.
The father and son put their heads together and went out to find partners.
Just then, he received an invitation from Jiang Yusi.
He was quite surprised when he received the invitation, because although they were classmates, he didn't have much of a relationship with Jiang Yusi.
He didn't want to come because he was just a nobody and didn't fit in with this kind of place.
But when he thought about how the guests at the banquet were all from high society, he realized he might be able to find business partners there.
So, he came.
However, after he went around in circles, he discovered a big problem.
He didn't know anyone and didn't dare to strike up a conversation.
So he mustered up his courage and struck up a conversation with Xu Zhe and the others.
He and Xu Zhe were classmates. Even if they couldn't do business together, they could still be classmates.
But now...
He didn't think so.
Xu Zhe and his friends didn't treat him like a classmate at all.
No, it should be said that he wasn't treated as a human being.
Wang Jiujiu looked down at Xiao Yong'an with a mocking expression, opened the bottle of strong liquor, and strode over to him.
Xiao Yong'an's body trembled.
Looking around, they saw Wen Yi and the others with their arms crossed, waiting to see what would happen.
Xiao Yong'an was on edge, recalling what had happened during his university years.
One afternoon, fearing he would miss class and be called on by the teacher, he took a shortcut.
Then, he saw that Wang Jiujiu, Xu Zhe, and others treated Jiang Yuan in the same way.
