Lu Xingchen sat down on the high chair in front of the bar.

Wang Yunchao pushed a glass of wine in front of her, looked at her plain but still stunning face and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. Ms. Lu is even more beautiful now."

Lu Xingchen looked back at Wang Yunchao and got straight to the point. "I think Mr. Wang already knows about the internal competition at Zhencheng Company, but I can assure you that Zhiduoxingren will not enter the market before the restrictive contract expires."

"Mr. Lu, you don't need to explain. It's not like I don't trust you." Wang Yunchao said as he picked up a square flat brocade box and handed it to her. "I asked you to come out during the New Year because I wanted to give you a New Year's gift. I wish you a happy New Year and good luck in the Year of the Dragon."

Lu Xingchen said calmly: "No merit, no reward. Besides, we are not familiar with each other."

"That's being too polite." Wang Yunchao placed the brocade box on the table and opened it. The three diamond sets in the box sparkled under the lights hanging above the bar. Lu Xingchen took a look and estimated that the value was no less than two million. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Women really can't resist these things. Wang Yunchao raised his chin unconsciously, and said with a smug and superior smile: "It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope Mr. Lu won't despise it."

Lu Xingchen asked indifferently, "Is this Mr. Wang's sincerity in wanting to discuss cooperation with me?"

"Mr. Lu is indeed a smart man. I do intend to discuss cooperation with you, but this is just a New Year's gift to you. My sincerity is far more than this."

Lu Xingchen never touched his wine or gift, but just raised the corner of his mouth and asked: "Boss Wang, do you think your sincerity can be greater than Zhencheng?"

Wang Yunchao's expression changed uncontrollably, fearing that Lu Xingchen had already agreed to cooperate with Zhencheng. He also knew very well that his company was far inferior to Zhencheng, but he quickly forced himself to smile.

"Zhencheng is a big company, but the industry is deep. I'm not sure how high Mr. Lu can rise by cooperating with Zhencheng, but if he cooperates with me, he will definitely be at the top."

Lu Xingchen answered without hesitation: "Big fish like the deep sea, and shrimps choose ponds."

"..." Wang Yunchao's anger instantly soared. This arrogant woman was not only conceited but also put him down. However, in order to win him over, he couldn't get angry. Wang Yunchao held back his temper and added a number to the originally planned price, saying word by word, "I'll give you three hundred million."

Lu Xingchen raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Wang, if you have nothing else to say, I'll leave first."

"Then how much do you want!" Three hundred million is not enough? Shame on you, do you really think her broken thing is so valuable? Wang Yunchao took a deep breath, "Zhencheng may not be able to give you this price."

Are you in a hurry now? Lu Xingchen looked at him expressionlessly, then stood up and left.

"Lu Xingchen..." Wang Yunchao stood up and tried to pull someone over.

Lu Xingchen's phone rang. She warned Wang Yunchao coldly and put the phone to her ear, "Hello?"

"You didn't drink?"

What does that mean? Lu Xingchen took down her phone and saw that it was indeed Luo Shi calling. She turned around and looked around. She didn't see Luo Shi, but why did this man suddenly ask her if she had drunk alcohol?

"Speak directly if you have something to say."

"Don't drink, go to the parking lot at the door."

Lu Xingchen ignored Wang Yunchao and walked out while talking on the phone. "Explain the matter clearly."

Luo Shi was not very willing so he said in a bad tone: "My boss is drunk and wants to drive himself. I have something to do and can't make it in time. A friend of mine said that he saw you just got into AK. You go to the parking lot and send my boss off immediately!"

Lu Xingchen, who kept calling me "my boss", couldn't help but ask, "Why did your boss ask me to deliver it?"

What she was thinking was, Assistant Luo, didn’t you warn me again and again not to get close to your boss?

But Luo Shi suddenly yelled, "Do you want to see him get into an accident while driving under the influence?"

Because he thought of the time when Li Zhen called Lu Xingchen after the car accident and was rejected.

Is this the attitude of asking someone to do something? Lu Xingchen was helpless, "Don't you have a friend here? Ask him to take you there or call a designated driver..."

"Lu Xingchen!" Luo Shi was really confused as to why the boss was attracted to this woman. "My friend is not the boss's friend, and with the boss's personality, do you think he would listen to other people's advice?"

"Then you won't listen to my advice."

"I told you to send him home, not to persuade him! You bastard, get to the parking lot right now! If you can't send my boss home safely, I'll really let you go!"

It sounded as if he didn't really want her to quit. Lu Xingchen didn't say this because she had already arrived at the parking lot and saw Li Zhen standing with his back against the car door, holding a cigarette in his mouth, and searching his pockets with his head down... probably for a lighter.

Li Zhen looked up a little irritably as he couldn't find his lighter. Then, he saw Lu Xingchen standing not far away and looking at him. He was stunned in disbelief. After a moment, he suddenly took the cigarette out of his mouth and hid it behind his back.

Realizing that after all these years, I still had the same reflexive reaction as when she caught me smoking all those years ago, I suddenly felt as aggrieved as a child.

Not only was she always in his heart, but even his muscles were filled with her memory.

Reluctant and unwilling, and unable to control himself, Li Zhen left the car and strode towards Lu Xingchen, but his body staggered to the side as he clearly wanted to rush forward.

Lu Xingchen quickly said to Luo Shi, "I saw your boss," then hung up the phone and rushed over, grabbing the sleeve of the staggering man.

Luo Shi, who was hiding on the second floor, felt mixed emotions when he saw Lu Xingchen helping Li Zhen back to the car. He didn't know whether his crazy decision was helping or hurting his boss.

Lu Xingchen grabbed Li Zhen's arm and helped him stand against the car, then looked up and told him as clearly as possible: "Let me make it clear first, I'm not the one looking for you, Assistant Luo asked me to come here."

Li Zhen's chest tightened. How harsh must he be to make her so cautious in her words and actions?

The light was not bright enough, and Lu Xingchen couldn't see his expression clearly. Seeing that he just looked down at her without saying anything, she thought he agreed with what she said, so she tried to let go and let him stand by himself.

"You can stand on your own, right? Don't move." She said to him on her phone, "I'll call a designated driver for you now. It should be here soon."

However, before she could dial the number, she felt a darkness above her head. When she looked up, she saw Li Zhen's tall body leaning towards her.

"Hold still!" Lu Xingchen quickly reached out to grab his arm again, but Li Zhen's arm went over hers and pulled her whole body into his broad chest.

Falling into the embrace blown by the night breeze, Lu Xingchen only felt the cold temperature of his coat, so that she immediately sobered up after a moment of surprise. This man was indeed drunk, otherwise how could he hug her when he regarded her as a venomous snake and a ferocious beast?

Lu Xingchen tried to push away the arms around him, "Stand still first, I'll find a designated driver, or I can help you into the car first..."

Before he finished speaking, the arm around her tightened, and she was forced to fall into his chest again. This time, a certain alert string in Lu Xingchen's heart was plucked, "Mr. Li..."

"Lu Xingchen!" Li Zhen suddenly called her name stubbornly, and then there was silence for five seconds or perhaps longer. She heard a low, almost choking voice saying, "I should hate you, but I tried my best... I really tried my best, Lu Xingchen, I..."
