Depressed wife runs with the ball

[Then I'll go home early too.] Zhou Xingzhi put down his phone, toasted everyone at the table, and said, "Sorry, everyone, my girlfriend is urging me to go home, so I can't be home too late today."

All the major suppliers were present at the dinner table. They were counting on Xinghui's projects for next year and were busy trying to curry favor with him. They did not dare to say anything disobedient to the young president.

"Mr. Zhou, this woman should be left alone for a while." Shen Yaolin came in from another private room, holding a glass of red wine.

He knew Chu Yue's personality. She was cold and always kept people at a distance. Even when he forced her to be his girlfriend in college, she was only a girlfriend in name only.

Even if there was any physical contact between the two of them, she would show her disdain without hiding it. Every day she was either busy drawing or taking various tutoring classes.

Everyone at the table turned their attention to the uninvited guest. Jiang Tao hadn't expected someone to barge in.

It’s Shen Yaolin again. It seems that he didn’t understand anything at all last time in the office.

"Mr. Shen is here too," one of the suppliers recognized him and greeted him awkwardly. Shen Yaolin was a rising tech star in Qiancheng, with a number of government operations and maintenance projects under his belt.

Zhou Xingzhi sat in the main seat, and his hand holding the wine glass unconsciously clenched.

"Yueyue is like this. No matter how hard you push her, she won't be moved." Shen Yaolin was drunk and was about to stagger towards Zhou Xingzhi with his wine glass. Jiang Tao quickly stopped him.

"We have been in love for three years, but how long have you known each other? Zhou Xingzhi, I know her better than you. You just want to drag this beautiful girl into the mud because she is beautiful and talented. How good can you be? How better than me?" Seeing that he couldn't stand in front of him, Shen Yaolin had to sit next to Jiang Tao.

I've been dating for three years and I'm still not interested. How dare you mention it in front of him?

Zhou Xingzhi disdained to talk to him and just drank the wine in the glass. Chu Yue seemed to have never told him that she was moved.

"Mr. Shen, if I remember correctly, your company has been blacklisted for the Yuntu project, right?" Thinking of the project we talked about in the office last time, and Mr. Feng, there should be results from the audit.

Shen Yaolin got drunk under the guise of socializing because of the Yuntu project, but who would have thought that he would run into Zhou Xingzhi here.

He even dared to mention in front of him that Wanwei was blacklisted because of Xinghan Technology, and Lao Feng had been unable to contact him. It didn't take much thought to know that all this was Zhou Xingzhi's doing.

Shen Yaolin stood up and poured himself a glass of wine. "What? Chu Yue refuses to give in, so he takes it out on me, Wan Wei? Zhou Xingzhi, it seems you and I are truly birds of a feather, hehehe..."

Even if he cannot compete with him in business, he is Chu Yue's ex after all. Even if nothing happened, he can still suppress him.

Zhou Xingzhi simply assumed he was drunk and didn't make a fuss. The others at the table were just watching the fun. After Mr. Zhou announced his girlfriend, all the online gossip had been removed and shut down by Star Shine. So, they knew very little about the identity of his girlfriend. If someone told them, they'd naturally listen.

"Mr. Shen is drunk. Jiang Tao, have someone take him back." Zhou Xingzhi didn't want to make things too awkward.

Jiang Tao quickly helped the man out and asked the waiter to call a designated driver for him. As Shen Yaolin was carried away, he cursed: "Zhou Xingzhi, how can you be better than me? Yueyue will never fall for you!"

Jiang Tao stood outside the private room and sent a message to Chu Yue: [Assistant Chu, Mr. Zhou ran into Mr. Shen from Wanwei Technology while having dinner, and the two almost got into a fight.]

Chu Yue was shocked when she saw the message on the subway. Given Zhou Xingzhi's personality, he shouldn't openly fight with others. Unless Shen Yaolin started it first.

“Where are you?” she replied to Secretary Jiang.

Secretary Jiang quickly sent her an address.

Chu Yue came out of the subway station and took a taxi to the destination.

After Secretary Jiang sent Shen Yaolin away, Zhou Xingzhi continued drinking alone, not saying anything about the end. He sat nearby, periodically glancing at his watch and then his phone. The suppliers at the table also became cautious in their words.

Chu Yue finally sent him a message asking which private room it was, and he quickly replied to the message under the table.

When she stood at the door of the private room, there was no sign of Shen Yaolin, only a group of drunk men who didn't dare to speak loudly. Jiang Tao saw her as if he had seen a savior.

Zhou Xingzhi was sitting in the main seat. When he saw her, his eyes lit up and he smiled. The rapid change of expression amazed the surrounding suppliers.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Xingzhi stood up and tried to help her shakily.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you all. I'm here to take Xingzhi home." Chu Yue greeted the suppliers present, walked to the main seat, and pushed him down.

Secretary Jiang quickly stood up and said, "Ms. Chu, Mr. Zhou is drunk. I'll help you get him into the car. Sorry, everyone, I have to excuse myself."

Chu Yue glanced at the people at the table and said, "Everyone, please enjoy your meal. Secretary Jiang, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you with the rest. If there's anything I haven't done well, I'll apologize to you another day."

Zhou Xingzhi stood up from his seat and hugged her.

Jiang Tao wanted to help the two get into the car, but Zhou Xingzhi kicked his leg back. He immediately turned around to greet the suppliers at the table, secretly thanking himself for sending a message to the boss's wife in time.

After struggling to push Zhou Xingzhi into the car and taking the keys, I wondered where to go. He didn't seem to have many clothes in Cuiyuan, and he had to meet with some government officials tomorrow.

"Yueyue, are you here to pick me up because you're worried about me?" He sat in the passenger seat, pretending to be drunk and dazed.

"Zhou Xingzhi, the New Year is almost here. If you keep doing this, you'll sleep on the sofa!" She actually didn't like the way he looked like he was half drunk. If he was really drunk, Jiang Tao would still send him home. When he was half drunk, he would pretend to be confused and act like a spoiled child with her.

After much deliberation, I navigated to his house, turned the steering wheel, and started the car.

She parked the car downstairs of his house, pulled him out of the passenger seat, walked to the elevator, and pressed the 16th floor button. Zhou Xingzhi hugged her and said, "Today, I saw Shen Yaolin."

"I know. Secretary Jiang sent me a message." Chu Yue watched the elevator go up floor by floor.

"Do you think I'm the same as him?"

This question left her at a loss for words. What was the same? Essentially, they were pretty much the same. If there was a difference, it was probably that he was more attractive than Shen Yaolin. Food and sex are human nature, and Chu Yue wouldn't be surprised.

"You are different from him." Although he didn't know what the two of them said when they met, this sentence should be what he wanted to hear.

"."

When they reached the door, Chu Yue motioned him to open it. He said the password directly and tilted his head to motion her to press the password. A prompt sounded and the door was opened. There was no one and no lights.

Chu Yue fumbled around the wall, trying to find the switch at the entrance. Zhou Xingzhi held her hand, hugged her from behind, and closed the door.

"If Jiang Tao hadn't sent you a message, would you not have come to find me?"

While everyone else thought his girlfriend had interrupted their drinking, he complained. "Drank a lot? You reek of alcohol!" Unable to find the switch, he gave up.

It seems that he has another business trip abroad recently.

"Well. Are you staying here tonight?" He led the person into the living room without turning on the lights.

Chu Yue suspected that he did it on purpose. "Zhou Xingzhi, turn on the light."

"It doesn't matter if you don't turn on the lights. Yueyue, do you like me?" He buried his head in Chu Yue's neck. Shen Yaolin was right, there is a difference between being moved and compromising.

Chu Yue sighed helplessly, looking quite upset. She explained, "There's nothing between Shen Yaolin and me."

"I know." He exhaled muffledly, with a smell of white wine.

"Can you go take a shower? You smell like alcohol, it's terrible. I'll prepare some honey water for you to sober you up." Chu Yue couldn't stand him being like this, acting like a rogue after drinking.

"Okay, prepare some honey water for me." He let her go and sat obediently on the sofa waiting.
