Depressed wife runs with the ball

Zhou Xingzhi changed into a black shirt, casually opened the two buttons on his chest, and a dark blue suit jacket, then drove back to the old house for dinner.

Chu Yue went to the kitchen to find something to eat, opened the refrigerator, and found lunch inside.

I suddenly had no appetite, so I called Su Ying and wanted to order some fried rice from the bar.

"Do you want to come down for dinner? You've been painting all day on this weekend without even going out. Aren't you bored?" Su Ying knew without thinking that she must be staying at home painting on the weekend.

"Would you like to bring it to me so we can have a couple more drinks?" Chu Yue made a rare invitation.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask Ji Yan to come and guard it."

The owner of this bar is Ji Yan. It is not a very big bar. Su Ying was lured by him to be a bartender and girlfriend. Later, Ji Yan did something that hurt her and they broke up. She could call him and send him away at will.

It was already 8:30 when Su Ying arrived, holding a lunch box in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other.

Chu Yue opened the door for her, took the lunch box and wine from her hands, and looked at them carefully. A 20-year-old Lafite should cost more than 5000 yuan.

Su Ying went to the kitchen to get wine glasses and a decanter.

"This wine...Won't Mr. Ji deduct your salary?" If Chu Yue went to the bar to get wine, he would never dare to take such an expensive one.

"He dares! We won't go home until we are drunk tonight." Su Ying took the bottle opener and opened the wine.

Chu Yue smiled and said, "Aren't we just drinking at home? Where else do we need to return it to?"

After dinner, Zhou Xingzhi discussed business with Zhou Kecheng in the study.

Talking about the effectiveness of several advertisements put out during this period, Zhou Kecheng praised them highly.

"Xingzhi, the graphic design this time is very good. Are there any new people in the advertising department?"

"No, the advertising department has chosen a good outsourcing team." Zhou Xingzhi remained calm.

"Since it's outsourced, let's poach this team so we can control it in the future."

"I have read their information and am studying the feasibility of the acquisition." Holding the blue and white Sanskrit cup in his hand, he thought of the tangerine peel white tea he drank at Chu Yue's house that day.

"Yes. Once you've studied it, send me the plan. Also, please pay attention to the work your sister-in-law just mentioned at the dinner table and help with it."

"Yes." His mind was still on the cloakroom and that kiss.

Su Ying drank too much and sat cross-legged on the floor, leaning against the sofa. She pointed at the painting on the easel and said, "Old Ji didn't know that you were saving money to study abroad, nor did he know that you were secretly selling paintings, nor did he know that I was selling paintings for you. Yueyue, I didn't say anything."

Chu Yue walked up to her with a wine glass. Although he couldn't drink much, he just liked to drink.

"Yueyue, I know you want to leave here. I know everything. I didn't say a word to Ji Yan. Haha, do you think I'm a good baby?" She leaned on Chu Yue and hugged her and acted coquettishly.

"Yingying is the best in the world." She comforted softly, drank the red wine in the glass, looked at the paintings on the wall, and thought of the kiss in the cloakroom today, her face slightly red.

After Su Ying fell asleep, she moved her to the sofa and covered her with a quilt. She sat on the lounge chair on the balcony and looked out the window at the bleak autumn wind. When the sky gradually brightened, she returned to her room and lay down.

The first phase of the project was completed, and the second phase was coming up. The office staff had just two days to rest before they had to get back to work. Fortunately, Zhou Xingzhi did not continue to make things difficult.

Ji Yan called Chu Yue and asked her to come to his office. It was so grand, it seemed like they had something serious to discuss.

When I opened the door, Uncle Jia was there too.

"Something happened at the firm?" Chu Yue was unsure and felt that something bad was going to happen.

"Xinghui wants to acquire us." Ji Yan's face looked heavy, and he must have considered it for a long time.

Sure enough, Zhou Xingzhi is not a good person.

Uncle Jia was happy. If Star Shine were to acquire him, he could retire early. Chu Yue frowned slightly and sat down, sipping tea in a daze. Being acquired by Star Shine meant losing the freedom he had now. He would have to follow a strict schedule for work, get off work, and creative work.

"Brother, what do you think?" She spoke slowly. If this brother gave in, she would probably have to think of her own way out.

"Of course I refused. But Xinghui may not be willing to let go. The acquisition may just be a test." Ji Yan always felt that this acquisition was too sudden, and he was unsure.

"And this acquisition plan will be personally followed up by Zhou Xingzhi." This was what Secretary Jiang had said to Ji Yan. For such a small firm, this was completely unnecessary. He was completely puzzled.

Uncle Jia looked at Chu Yue with some guilt. Chu Yue met his gaze and her heart skipped a beat. It turned out that he was targeting her.

"Maybe I can go talk to them," she said in a deep voice, but she wasn't sure. "Besides the three of us, does anyone else in the office know about this?"

"Xiao Yue, there's no need to force yourself. Being acquired might be a good thing." Uncle Jia finally spoke.

These words made Ji Yan confused, "Yueyue, force yourself? You want to talk to Zhou Xingzhi by yourself?" He looked at Uncle Jia and then at Chu Yue.

The three of them fell silent again.

Zhou Xingwai appears to be calm, reserved, mature, and upright, but he is actually a lunatic.

After coming out of Ji Yan's office, she was thinking about how to talk to him, but she didn't take any action. On the one hand, she didn't know how to talk to him, and on the other hand, she was a little scared because she could guess his conditions.

Ji Yan had been gloomy and upset for several days. Huang Jianing came to Chu Yue with the project materials and said, "Isn't Mo Xiaoxiao's company a film and television company? The publicity company actually approached us to make materials. Wow, it seems that the print ad we did at Xinghui was really successful."

"Well, Sister Jianing leads the team well, so of course it's successful." Chu Yue was just concentrating on the picture on his computer and didn't turn around to look at her.

"That's right. Hey, who do you think should be responsible for the publicity and promotion? Everyone is busy with work now. I think anyone would complain if we give it to them." She flipped through the documents in her hand and thought in embarrassment.

"Give it to me, I'll let Ji Yan do it, he deserves some practice too." Chu Yue stretched out her hand and waited for her to hand the information to her.

"Let the boss do it? Isn't that bad?"

"I will check it later, don't worry, I will tell him that I am too busy." Seeing her concerns, Chu Yue had to look up and assure her.

"Okay, then ask him to do it quickly. We need it urgently." Huang Jianing got the assurance and handed the information to her readily.

Looking at the stack of information, Chu Yue's heart suddenly started beating wildly.

Zhou Xingzhi's secretary Jiang Tao called her and said, "Designer Chu, Mr. Zhou wants to have dinner with you."

No wonder my heart was beating so fast. "Okay, send me the address."

After hanging up the phone, he calmed down and handed the information to Ji Yan, asking him to draw the diagram. Ji Yan just nodded without even glancing at the information.

The closer it got to dinner, the more nervous Chu Yue grew. Perhaps... it would be better if she just left Qucho? An acquisition might not be such a bad thing after all. Looking at Ji Yan's dejected figure, she still made up her mind to go along.

After get off work, Su Ying called her.

"Yuer, has something happened recently? Ji Yan has been getting drunk at the bar for two days in a row."

Even she knew something was wrong. It seemed that being acquired was not good news for Yu Ji Yan.

"It's okay, he might just be a heavy drinker. Please persuade him to drink less tonight." For the first time, Chu Yue felt that he had no choice but to compromise.

We took a taxi to our destination, a Chinese garden-style restaurant, and were led to a private room by a waiter.

Zhou Xingzhi sat in the main seat with an expression as if he was planning something.

Chu Yue sat down and sighed softly.

The person opposite said: "You are quite patient."

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhou. Negotiations always require some strategy."

Today's meal was well arranged, all of which she liked, but unfortunately, she had a poor appetite.

"You can propose any conditions you want. I only have one request." Zhou Xingzhi's eyes never left her, as if he was staring at his prey.

Today she was wearing a shirt, a loose sleeveless sweater in soft grayish white, a gray dark plaid skirt, and a loose brown tie, still very stylish.
