When Yan Sui heard what President Sun said, his eyes showed a hint of resistance. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Qingran, who had been sitting quietly in her seat, suddenly spoke up and said in a low voice.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Shi."

Yan Sui was taken aback when he heard Lin Qingran's words.

When Lin Qingran finished speaking, he had already stood up from his chair and was supporting himself on the table with both hands.

Upon seeing this, Yan Sui immediately reached out and supported Lin Qingran's hand.

"Mr. Kobayashi..."

Upon hearing Yan Sui's words, Lin Qingran nodded slightly and whispered something.

"Don't worry, I'm fine."

Upon hearing this, Yan Sui sighed. How could she possibly feel at ease with Lin Qingran in her current state?

Yan Sui glanced helplessly at Lin Qingran, and was about to speak when Shi Shenzhi reached out and pulled Lin Qingran to his side, supporting her with his hand, his tone gentle and refined.

"Miss Lin is quite interesting."

Lin Qingran raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing Shi Shenzhi's words.

Her eyes were slightly tinged with intoxication, and her clear gaze fell on Shi Shenzhi. She remained silent for a long time without saying a word.

Her eyes were full of scrutiny, and after a long while, she finally spoke quietly.

“Mr. Shi, you don’t need to hide it from me. I don’t hate you at all.”

Upon hearing Lin Qingran's words, Shi Shenzhi frowned slightly, his eyes filled with confusion.

When Yan Sui saw Shi Shenzhi supporting Lin Qingran and Lin Qingran saying such inexplicable things, a hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes. He then walked over and took back control from Shi Shenzhi.

He looked at Shi Shenzhi politely and said in a soft voice.

"Mr. Shi, I'm sorry, Mr. Lin likes to talk nonsense when he's drunk."

Upon hearing this, Shi Shenzhi said without any apparent concern.

"Miss Lin is drunk, and she's very cute. She's not like she used to be."

Lin Qingran is indeed very cute when she's drunk; she exudes a charmingly naive aura.

This is something that Lin Qingran would never normally have.

Upon hearing Shi Shenzhi's words, Yan Sui simply smiled faintly and said softly.

"Mr. Kobayashi has never been a good drinker. He tends to talk nonsense when he's drunk, so I hope Mr. Shi won't take it to heart."

Shi Shenzhi saw Yan Sui's gaze fall on Lin Qingran, and Lin Qingran trusted Yan Sui very much, so she leaned her weight on Yan Sui.

For some reason, Shi Shenzhi felt somewhat displeased when he saw this scene.

He and Lin Qingran had only met briefly twice.

He realized that he was indeed paying too much attention to Lin Qingran.

Shi Shenzhi gazed intently at Lin Qingran, then spoke softly.

"Assistant Yan, you've had quite a bit to drink too. I'll have someone take you home now."

Upon hearing this, Yan Sui refused.

"No need to trouble Mr. Shi, our place is not far from here."

As soon as Yan Sui finished speaking, Shi Shenzhi turned around and walked out of the private room.

Mr. Sun and Mr. He also followed.

As Mr. Sun was leaving, he glanced at Yan Sui and then said in a deep voice.

"Assistant Yan, you've protected Miss Lin too well."

Yan Sui frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Any man would understand what President Sun meant by having Shi Shenzhi escort Lin Qingran back.

Mr. Sun could tell that Shi Shenzhi was very interested in Lin Qingran, which is why he made that suggestion.

But Lin Qingran is now slightly drunk.

Moreover, Shi Shenzhi and that person looked so alike that Yan Sui even began to suspect that Shi Shenzhi was Huo Ye.

Although there was no evidence, he instinctively didn't want Lin Qingran and Huo Ye to have too much contact.

After all, everyone knew what Huo Ye was planning five years ago.

They were all very clear about just how ambitious this man was.

If he approached Lin Qingran with a specific purpose, then Lin Qingran would definitely be around him and be affected again.

Yan Sui took a deep breath and helped Lin Qingran out of the private room.

They walked to the door and saw General Manager Sun and General Manager He talking to Shi Shenzhi.

Shi Shenzhi wore a faint smile, looking every bit the elegant young gentleman.

If hypocrites exist in this world, then Shi Shenzhi in front of us is clearly one of them.

When President Sun saw Lin Qingran being helped out by Yan Sui, he spoke in a polite and calm tone.

"Assistant Yan, then I'll trouble you to personally escort Miss Lin back. Once she arrives at the hotel safely, please send us a message."

Upon hearing this, Yan Sui nodded seriously.

Lin Qingran then looked up at President Sun.

She tried her best to stay clear-headed. Although her steps were a little unsteady, Lin Qingran still walked over and accurately grasped President Sun's hand, shaking hands with him.

"Mr. Sun, Mr. He, Qingran will be relying on your help to develop his business in the capital in the future."

Mr. Sun and Mr. He both looked a little embarrassed by Lin Qingran's serious request.

Mr. Sun naturally nodded in agreement.

"Ms. Lin, you're too kind. It's a mutually beneficial arrangement, and we'll definitely cooperate more in the future. We've all witnessed your competence."

"If Miss Lin becomes successful in the future, please remember to help us out."

Lin Qingran smiled upon hearing this.

Shi Shenzhi looked at Lin Qingran's current state, a slight smile playing on his lips. He then reached out and supported Lin Qingran's arm, speaking softly.

"Ms. Lin, we're staying at the same hotel, so let's go back together since it's on our way."

Lin Qingran was taken aback upon hearing the voice.

Her gaze fell on Shi Shenzhi, a smile on her face, and she spoke softly.

"How come I didn't know Mr. Shi was staying at the same hotel as us?"

Shi Shenzhi observed that although Lin Qingran's face showed signs of intoxication and her steps were somewhat unsteady, her tone of voice and thoughts were remarkably clear at this moment.

It's probably hopeless to try and fool her.

Fortunately, he did change hotels, moving to the same hotel where Lin Qingran was staying.

"If Miss Lin doesn't believe me, why don't you get in my car and we go back to the hotel together?"

Lin Qingran remained silent upon hearing this.

She seemed to be thinking about something when her gaze fell on a luxury car parked on the side of the road.

She then smiled faintly, her gaze falling on Shi Shenzhi, and said softly.

"Since Mr. Shi is so kind, I will not refuse."

Yan Sui frowned slightly upon hearing Lin Qingran's words. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a man get out of a Rolls-Royce parked by the roadside.

This man was none other than Gu Moxuan, who had stormed off earlier.

Gu Moxuan saw that Lin Qingran's arm was being supported by Shi Shenzhi, and her entire weight was almost pressing down on Shi Shenzhi.

The two were very close.

Upon seeing this, Gu Moxuan felt an overwhelming rage and immediately lost his composure, getting out of the car.

"Qingran, I want to have a serious talk with you."
