Depressed wife runs with the ball

Chapter 17 I don’t like it

Su Weikai approached her and reminded her, "After all, I saved your life, why are you so aloof?"

Zhou Xingzhi's eyes swept over the two of them, looking at the distance between them, his eyes dimmed, and he sneered in his heart, it turned out that he would not refuse anyone who came.

Su Ying came out from behind the wine cabinet and saw Su Weikai. She was stunned at first, then said to Chu Yue, "I'll ask Ji Yan to come over. Do you want to wait?"

"It's just two streets, there's no need." Chu Yue took the wine and left.

Su Weikai wanted to follow, but Su Ying said, "Mr. Su, I'll give you a glass of good wine."

Seeing that the beautiful woman was not interested in him, the bartender seemed to know her, so he stopped pursuing her and stayed at the bar drinking.

A few minutes after she left, Zhou Xingzhi also came out of the booth on the pretext of going to the bathroom and caught up with the lonely figure. She was answering the phone, but he didn't know who she was talking to.

"It's okay. I'll be able to go to work on time tomorrow. I just asked her for some wine because I couldn't sleep. Don't worry."

The tone was completely different from when he spoke to Su Weikai. He must be an acquaintance.

"Yingying is making a fuss because you haven't seen me for a long time. Besides, what could happen to me? I didn't drink and I can go to work, that's all." After saying this, she hung up the phone and hummed a little tune.

The bar is located behind a busy shopping mall. Two blocks in is an old residential complex where an elevator was only installed in recent years. There are few pedestrians on the street, and only the security booths at each exit of the complex have lights on.

"You seem to be in a good mood." A pair of long legs stepped towards Chu Yue, startling her.

When she saw who it was, she couldn't help but snort coldly. She had been harassed by Party A in the middle of the night before. Fortunately, she had a bottle of wine in her hand. At worst, she would get hit on the head and then go to the police station.

"It has nothing to do with you." She didn't want to talk more, just lowered her head and walked quickly.

"Aren't there a lot of young men you like in the bar? Why are you leaving so early?" Zhou Xingzhi said sarcastically.

The young man he likes? Chu Yue stopped and frowned at him. Did this guy think he was going to hook up with a rich man?

"I don't like it." She didn't want to explain to a stranger, let alone to a self-righteous rich second-generation.

"Don't like it? I see you like guys like Guo Tongchu and Ji Yan very much." He stared at the person in front of him, like a kitten that had been caught stealing and running away, with a bit of viciousness.

Chu Yuewei raised her head and looked at the sky. There was not a single star, just like her current miserable life.

"I don't like the environment in a bar, I don't like self-righteous clients like you, I don't like communicating with people, and I even don't like living. Is that okay?" Chu Yue was a little indignant, venting loudly on this short and quiet street.

There was no response for a long time. Seeing that he no longer made things difficult, Chu Yue left quickly.

Looking at her leaving back, Zhou Xingzhi smiled. It seemed that disturbing her good mood was a very fulfilling thing.

The bottle of wine was placed in the cupboard, which was filled with various bottles of wine, both opened and unopened, and there were various wine glasses in the dishwasher.

She doesn't like drinking, but occasionally she will have a couple of drinks when she can't sleep, and toast to her grandparents on the wall.

She was woken up by the alarm clock in the morning and woke up from the sofa. It seemed that she had a meeting today, but she still had to take a shower. It would take more than an hour to take the subway to Xinghui, so she was afraid she would be late.

I called Huang Jianing and she started to speak in a sarcastic tone again.

It was already 8:40 when I finished washing up, and it was already 9:30 when I took a taxi downstairs. I hunched over and quietly slipped into the meeting room, sat on the chair next to the door, and was glad that no one noticed me.

Huang Jianing was giving a report and seemed to be in a good mood. He was facing Zhou Xingzhi who was sitting in the chairman's seat.

Chu Yue took out her notebook and drew a picture of Huang Jianing talking. In fact, she looked pretty good when she was working seriously.

"Designer, why don't you report in person?" Zhou Xingzhi's words drew everyone's attention to Chu Yue.

She was about to speak when Huang Jianing explained, "There are many designers for this project, and I am the project leader."

His eyes were still on Chu Yue, which made people feel uncomfortable.

"I wonder which design Mr. Zhou is not satisfied with?" Huang Jianing asked somewhat awkwardly.

"No, you continue." He retracted his gaze and looked calmly at the PPT on the wall.

For Chu Yue, this kind of reporting meeting was boring and lengthy.

"Who made the pictures for the beauty products?" Zhou Xingzhi's slender fingers seemed to be flipping through the information in his hand unintentionally. He lowered his head and spoke softly.

His gaze turned to Chu Yue again. The designer's name had already been signed on the document, so he was asking this question despite knowing the answer.

As expected, I shouldn't have offended Party A. Just because someone said I didn't like him, he deliberately made trouble today.

Chu Yue stood up and said calmly, "It's me. Any problem?"

Zhou Xingzhi turned around slightly and looked at her with a playful look. "Do you know how to use beauty products?"

Everyone in the meeting wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. Their eyes were filled with laughter, as if seeing people in trouble was something very funny.

"I should know more than you." She was not afraid at all. Her voice was soft in a way that only women can, like a soft knife, falling into everyone's ears and piercing into their hearts, making people pause and feel frightened.

"Then you stay and tell me about the advertising design concepts for these products."

It's hilarious that a boss who doesn't understand design wants to talk to a designer about concepts. Everyone in the room can tell his intentions are other than design, but the person who said it doesn't seem embarrassed at all.

"That document Mr. Zhou has is there, with both pictures and text. What's the matter? Are you not good at Chinese?"

If Ji Yan was right, she wasn't suited to being a Party B. After almost two years on the job, her temper remained the same. In fact, the more Party A she came into contact with, the more irritable she became.

Zhou Xingzhi frowned deeply; this girl had quite a temper. With a slight smile on his lips, he explained, "Of all the designs, the beauty section is the most outstanding, so I wanted to hear from Designer Chu herself."

"Your group's design project is time-sensitive and demanding. I'm afraid I won't have the honor." Chu Yue declined politely, and he no longer made things difficult for her.

After the meeting, Chu Yue returned to the office with her colleagues, ignoring Zhou Xingzhi's provocations. As they were walking downstairs, they passed Mo Xiaoxiao.

Huang Jianing turned around and looked at Mo Xiaoxiao as she walked into the elevator. He patted his colleague and gossiped quietly, "Hey, hey, hey, that one just now looked like Mo Xiaoxiao."

"Which one? Which one?" Several colleagues stopped and looked around.

Uncle Jia was walking with Chu Yue. He had some opinions on what had just happened, and he said without hesitation: "Xiao Yue, this Mr. Zhou..."

"It doesn't matter. The contract is still there. The worst that can happen is that I'll just have to change the drawings a few more times. It's impossible to destroy the contract." She was mentally prepared. This had happened before.

Xinghui was indeed the largest order the firm had ever received since its founding, and if they broke the contract, the firm couldn't afford it. Zhou Xingzhi was certainly not a client to be offended lightly.

Chu Jinyue sent her a message: [Sister, I’m sorry, my mother told me.]

[It's none of your business.]

[I don’t know about this. If I knew, I would never let them do this.]

She no longer responded, knowing that things had already happened.

Ji Yan pushed the door open and walked in. He listened to Uncle Jia talk about what happened at the meeting. Last night, he also heard Su Ying say that this junior sister asked her for wine, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"This Zhou Xingzhi...you guys?" He spoke cautiously.

"Us? He's no different from those rogue clients. Don't put me together with him. I think it's dirty." The design draft of Xinghui was still on the computer screen.

"So, why did you ask Su Ying for wine?"

Thinking about the quarrel I had with my parents at the police station that night, it was really embarrassing.

She stopped writing the design and thought for a long time before saying, "Brother, I don't think I've ever mentioned my relationship with my parents to you in all these years."

Ji Yan suddenly remembered the scene when her mother came to cause trouble a few days ago. He thought it was because of Zhou Xingzhi, but it turned out to be her parents.

"The day before I asked for leave, my mother invited me to dinner. When I got there, I realized she wanted me to go on a blind date. It wasn't really a blind date, it should be said...she wanted someone to rape their daughter and force me to submit."

When she talked about it now, she no longer trembled with anger like before. Ji Yan was shocked when he heard this and slammed the table, making the Lego figures and puppet models on the table bounce up.
