As soon as Yun Yao entered the club, she smelled a strong odor of alcohol.

The room with the strongest energy smell is also the one with the strongest alcohol smell.

As she went in, she happened to see a middle-aged man push the door open and come out.

The man had a cigar in his mouth, and when he exhaled the smoke, it all landed on Yun Yao's face.

“…Ugh~” Yun Yao silently floated to the side and snored.

This cigar smells like ammonia; it's awful.

Lu Shuqing is even more picky about her environment than she is, yet she can still stay in this kind of place until this late. Her patience is truly remarkable!

Yun Yao took a deep breath of fresh air, which drifted into the room.

There was only one young man, Lu Shuqing, sitting inside; the rest were middle-aged.

Some people wear fake smiles, while others occasionally reveal disdain in their eyes.

These people all talked about how high their positions were now and how they got there step by step.

The implication was that Lu Shuqing, this young upstart, was no match for them, and if they had any self-awareness, they should have given up all the benefits that were rightfully theirs.

Don't wait for them to take action themselves.

Each of them said a sentence and then raised their glasses to signal Lu Shuqing to join them.

Lu Shuqing simply smiled and casually replied with a few words.

They do not accept threats, nor do they retaliate.

They just kept drinking, one glass after another, as if they were drinking juice instead of alcohol.

"Good lad!" The middle-aged man sitting to one side put down his wine glass, his voice laced with suppressed anger. "You can really hold your liquor."

Another person chimed in, "If we're going by seniority, we're all your uncles and elders."

I didn't call you here today to intimidate you.

We're just offering you some pointers because we see you're working hard as a junior.

Lu Shuqing did not respond, but nodded in agreement, "I should thank you for your guidance, uncles. Next time I am the host, please invite you all to gather again."

"There's no need for a gathering," the person at the head of the table said, rising to pick up his coat and giving Lu Shuqing a sharp look.

This kid is a tough character; he doesn't even flinch in this situation, and he won't budge even after drinking so much.

They had actually fallen for his tricks before, giving him whatever he asked for, thinking he was easy to manipulate.

Unexpectedly, right under their noses, he replaced everyone in the company with his own people.

The strategy of enduring hardship and biding one's time was quite effective.

Unfortunately, we're still a bit short of being able to compete with them.

However, given time, I'm afraid... they'll all have to beg from him for food.

He adopted the amiable demeanor of an elder, his smile not reaching his eyes, "It's getting late, go back and rest. Don't be late for the company tomorrow morning."

Lu Shuqing nodded in agreement.

Yun Yao breathed in the fresh air by the window, and couldn't help but complain that these people in their forties and fifties still had the nerve to gang up on young people. They were shameless.

Everyone had left.

Lu Shuqing got up and picked up his coat. He looked like he was walking steadily, but his steps were already a little unsteady.

Yun Yao was afraid that if he knew she had seen him being harassed, he would feel embarrassed, so she didn't dare to step forward and could only quietly follow behind him.

As you walk down the corridor, the lights are much brighter than those in the private rooms.

Lu Shuqing leaned against the corridor wall, his eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a hint of gloom in them.

He rubbed his temples with his long, slender fingers to relieve the dizziness in his head.

Once his eyes adjusted to the bright sunlight, he leaned against the wall and walked outside.

But in the end, he only managed to walk to the door before collapsing to the ground.

Yun Yao was about to step forward when she saw a girl running towards them and helping the person lying on the ground to their feet.

She saw that the girl had a lot of energy, just like Xu Tingran and Lu Shuqing.

This girl must be the female lead.

Yun Yao had already started imagining what would happen next...

The pitiful Lu Shuqing was helped to the hotel by the female lead with great difficulty, and their physical contact and intimacy escalated.

The next day, due to a hotel bill issue, Lu Shuqing, who hadn't brought his wallet, arranged to meet the female lead again to return the money at a certain time and place. Other events occurred afterward, deepening the entanglement, and so on... naturally.

But... Yun Yao didn't expect that the girl would be avoided by Lu Shuqing before she even touched him.

Lu Shuqing's voice was a little hoarse from the alcohol, but it couldn't hide the cold disgust in his words, "Get out."

Yun Yao couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder he's been chasing his wife for so many episodes. With his fierce attitude, it's no wonder he couldn't win her over."

He loosened his tie and glanced back.

Hiding in the bushes, Yun Yao saw him turn around and felt as if he were looking for someone...

Xia Mu'er was frightened by Lu Shuqing's attitude just now, and her voice trembled slightly.

After calming down, she said angrily, "I was passing by and saw you lying on the ground. I kindly helped you up, and you told me to get lost! Your attitude was really awful."

She and her teacher escorted the people who came to the school for an academic conference to the hotel. Just as they were about to hail a taxi back to their dormitory, they saw a person lying on the other side of the street...

Although she helped him because she recognized him as Lu Shuqing, she meant well.

Otherwise, he'll just have to lie here all night!

Lu Shuqing's profile appeared somewhat cold in the dim light, half-lit and half-shadowed, with black wisps of hair falling across his forehead.

He made no attempt to hide his impatience, his voice filled with gritted teeth, "You'd better get out of here right now."

Xia Mu'er was brought to tears by his scolding, and feeling both angry and embarrassed, she hailed a taxi and left.

Lu Shuqing, carrying his coat, walked heavily and unsteadily into the shadows, shouting, "Aren't you coming out yet!"

Yun Yao silently drifted out...

"Um, I didn't see anything."

Lu Shuqing leaned closer, one hand on the wall behind Yun Yao.

His voice was deep and slightly hoarse, possessing an alluring quality that stirred the heartstrings.

"Really didn't see it?"

As Lu Shuqing spoke, a warm breath brushed against Yun Yao's ear, sending a tingling, itchy sensation through her.

Yun Yao took half a step to the side and cautiously looked up at him. "Um, I didn't see anything."

Lu Shuqing gave a soft hum, his voice magnetic yet languid, "Who was that person floating around in the private room, constantly cursing those people because they felt sorry for me... hmm?"

His dark eyes gleamed, making it clear at a glance that he was in a good mood.

"..."

He hadn't looked in her direction at all... and she thought he didn't know.

Also, her voice wasn't very loud...

Lu Shuqing lowered his head, resting his head on her shoulder, his voice weak, "Take me to the hotel, I feel dizzy."

Yun Yao touched his pocket. "Did you bring your ID card?"

"Did not bring……"

"Then let's hire a designated driver..."

Lu Shuqing smelled her scent, raised his hand and gently touched her luscious red lips, the action both sensual and restrained.

His voice was low and hoarse, and his eyes darkened. "My phone is dead."

"What should I do?"

"Why don't we go see a movie?"

"what?"

"...What I mean is, we can go to the VIP hall of the cinema and book a private room to get some rest for the night."

Couples seem to always go to the movies, but he hasn't gone to one with her in a theater yet.

Aren't you dizzy?

"...Actually, it's alright."

Although I felt dizzy, I wasn't very drunk.

He just wanted her to feel sorry for him.
