"I know."

On the way, Xu Tian contacted several manufacturers that Chu Lan had recommended before, and specifically mentioned that they were introduced by Chu Lan. Those people no longer dared to deceive him like before.

However, the price has not been negotiated and the government's budget is tightly controlled, but Xu Tian can't think of a better solution.

"Should I contact my dad?"

Zhao Jing asked tentatively.

Xu Tian directly rejected her idea. Zhao Pengfei had already wanted to take over this big project, so if Zhao Jing spoke up now, wouldn't it be a natural way to put this lucrative opportunity into his bowl?

Zhao Jing knew Zhao Pengfei's thoughts, but the project was urgent, and they couldn't afford to offend the government. Xu Tian was unwilling to cooperate with the supplier who had approached them earlier, so she was at a loss.

"Don't worry, Wang Mian is still speeding up production, maybe we can catch up soon?" Xu Tian comforted him.

Zhao Jing added, "If all else fails, why don't you ask Chu Lan? With your relationship, would she refuse to help with such a small matter?"

"I've already called her, but she's not in Jiangcheng right now. I'll call her again in a bit."

Zhao Jing nodded, then said, "It's all your fault. You made me look bad in front of so many people yesterday. I'm even on the news today, did you see?"

"news?"

Xu Tian was taken aback; he really hadn't looked at it.

Zhao Jing glared at him, "Why did you leave yesterday! Why!"

Xu Tian looked embarrassed, "You two started fighting without regard for the occasion, I'm ashamed..."

"Fine, fine, I haven't even said anything yet, and you already think I'm embarrassing you? No matter how embarrassing I am, I'll still be your woman!" Zhao Jing said angrily.

Xu Tian touched his nose. "I didn't admit it."

"you…"

Zhao Jing was speechless for a moment. "If it weren't for me yesterday, would you have been able to make such a good impression at the class reunion? You've used me and then discarded me!"

"You're not a donkey..."

After Xu Tian finished speaking, he smiled and dodged Zhao Jing's attack.

Zhao Jing missed hitting Xu Tian and stomped her feet in anger.

But despite the playful banter, being with her did make Xu Tian quite happy. Once the project was completed, he might really have to start thinking about his personal life.

Thinking this, two, no, three women appeared in Xu Tian's mind!

Zhao Jing, Su Nuannuan, and Chu Lan...

When Chu Lan's image appeared in his mind, Xu Tian was startled.

How could he have so inexplicably considered Chu Lan as well? Chu Lan's looks were impeccable, her figure was top-notch, and she also possessed an exceptionally sharp business mind. There was no way she could possibly like him...

"Your eyes are so lewd, what are you thinking about?" Zhao Jing stared at him suspiciously.

Xu Tian hurriedly shook his head, "No... I wasn't thinking anything..."

"You're talking nonsense! Your eyes are so lewd! Tell me, who are you thinking about?!"

Annoyed by Zhao Jing's questioning, Xu Tian made up an excuse and left the construction site.

Zhao Jing's eyes reddened as she watched him leave. After spending so much time together, couldn't he see her true feelings?

Although she looks carefree and like a female hooligan, she is still a girl after all. Does Xu Tian really not care about her at all?

With that thought in mind, Zhao Jing lost all interest in staying at the construction site. Let whoever wants to do it do it!

So he simply abandoned everything and went to a bar to have some fun!

"He loves me... He doesn't love me! He loves me..."

"hey-hey……"

At this moment, in the dimly lit and noisy bar, Zhao Jing was holding a bouquet of flowers and counting the petals, just like she did on TV.

When he talked about loving me, she was as happy as a fool, but when he talked about not loving me, she was filled with hatred and gritted her teeth. She was completely immersed in her own emotions and did not notice the danger that was quietly approaching.

"Is your sister alone?"

A deep voice rang out, and Zhao Jing looked up. She recognized the man at a glance. Her drunken mind instantly sobered up, and she looked at him warily.

Brother Long is the boss of the Jiangcheng underworld. No one knows his real name, but he is extremely ruthless and does some shady things behind the scenes.

Why aren't you saying anything? Why are you staring at me like that?

Brother Long's flirtatious gaze was extremely aggressive, and every glance he gave Zhao Jing made her feel utterly disgusted.

Although Zhao Jing was very flustered, she knew she couldn't show it in front of this kind of person, so she smiled slightly.

"Brother Long? Long time no see."

Brother Long was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Does my sister recognize me?"

Zhao Jing swirled the wine glass in her hand, "Brother Long, you must have a bad memory. We met once at my father's party."

"Your dad?" Brother Long asked back.

“Zhao Pengfei, Brother Long must know him, right?” Zhao Jing said with a smile that didn’t change her expression.

Brother Long's brows furrowed unconsciously. He had taken a liking to Zhao Jing when she came in alone. He had initially thought she looked familiar, but he hadn't expected her to be Zhao Pengfei's daughter. This made things a bit more complicated.

However, he wasn't a coward. No matter what, Zhao Pengfei couldn't have connections in both the legal and illegal worlds in Jiangcheng. In fact, sometimes Zhao Pengfei would even ask him for help to deal with some trouble.

Thinking of this, Brother Long plopped down next to Zhao Jing and naturally put his arm around her shoulder.

Zhao Jing instinctively wanted to push him away, but she was all alone. If she angered him, he was capable of anything.

"Why are you sitting here drinking alone, little sister? Come on, brother, I'll drink with you," Brother Long said with a smile.

Zhao Jing subtly tried to keep her distance from him, clinking glasses with him, but instead of drowning her sorrows in alcohol as before, she took a small sip. Brother Long, on the other hand, downed his drink in one gulp and then poured himself another glass.

"Brother Long, you drink first, I'm going to the restroom to touch up my makeup."

As she spoke, Zhao Jing calmly picked up her phone and headed towards the bathroom.

Brother Long blocked her way with one arm.

"Why are you bringing your phone to touch up your makeup?"

Zhao Jing's throat tightened, then she laughed and said, "There are so many people and eyes around here, we have to keep a close eye on our things, right?"

Brother Long knew what she was trying to do, and immediately snatched the phone from her hand.

"Don't worry, I'm here. I'd like to see who dares to take your things!"

Seeing this, Zhao Jing had no choice but to go to the bathroom.

She had just looked around and wanted to take the opportunity to run away, but looking around, there were Brother Long's men everywhere, and they were all staring at her intently. This left her nowhere to run, so she could only go to the bathroom to avoid trouble.

As a result, she was unable to contact the outside world.

"Damn you, Xu Tian! It's all your fault! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have come to a bar alone to drown my sorrows!"

A sneeze!

Xu Tian was driving when he suddenly sneezed, and he felt like someone was talking badly about him.

Just as he was thinking this, Xu Tian suddenly saw a striking red sports car parked on the side of the road.

This... isn't this Zhao Jing's car?

Looking ahead from the car, there's the [Night Scene] bar!
