Chapter 50 Gentle Mr. Zhong(1/2)
Zhong Nanqin stayed in Jiangcheng for a week. This week, he had been staying in the branch except for sleeping.
It was not until the eighth day that the head of the new branch took office that he was relieved.
In the evening, in order to welcome the new leader to take office, the branch booked a table in a very famous restaurant in Beicheng.
Zhong Nanqin was naturally the first to be invited, and in order to give the new person in charge, he agreed.
When everyone heard that the boss was going to have a dinner with them, especially those single girls, they were both happy and excited. Some even sneaked out to do their hair and make-up, looking forward to leaving a good impression on the president at night.
After getting off work at 6:30 in the afternoon, a group of people went to the restaurant in advance.
Zhong Nanqin walked late and took the bus with the new person in charge Ke Xiao, and Meng Nan and Qin Jiadi were also traveling with him.
The restaurant is located in the city center, just near the hotel where Zhong Nanqin is staying.
The private room was booked in advance and was the largest private room in the restaurant, which could accommodate 50 people.
The dinner started at 7:30. At first, because Zhong Nanqin and the new person in charge were there, everyone was still reserved and restrained, but as soon as they drank, their true colors were revealed.
Many girls even came to find Zhong Nanqin with wine glasses.
Zhong Nanqin seemed to be in a good mood tonight and refused to everyone toast the girls.
I got off all night and was a little drunk.
He left early. Xiao Ke wanted to see him off, but he refused.
"I drank a lot tonight, and the hotel is opposite. I walked back and just dissipated the smell of alcohol."
"Then you'll be slower on the way."
"Well, it's your place tonight, enjoy it."
"Mr. Xie Zhong."
Zhong Nanqin left the box and did not take the elevator. He walked slowly down the stairs.
Halfway through, he heard a familiar voice...
I thought I had hallucinations when I was drunk, but when he continued down and down to the first floor, he saw the man.
She was on the phone, not knowing who she was talking to, her lips raised slightly, and her pretty face was smiling.
That smile made Zhong Nanqin stop instantly.
He was afraid to disturb her.
In this way, will she laugh for a longer time?
......
Today is the birthday of a colleague who came to Jiangcheng with Su Mian.
My colleague booked a birthday meal in a restaurant near the hotel. After work, the three of them came together.
Halfway through the meal, Su Mian received a call from Yu Miao.
There are so many people eating in the hall, it’s too noisy.
She walked all the way to the fire escape with her mobile phone...
It was very quiet here. She listened to Yu Miao complaining to her on the other end, "You left for half a month, and my stomach was abused by me for half a month, and finally successfully lost five pounds."
Su Mian couldn't help laughing, "It seems that I really can't make delicious food for you in the future, otherwise I will become the biggest stumbling block on your way to lose weight."
Yu Miao whined over there, "No, I would rather be fat than eat takeaway."
During this period of time Su Mian left, except for occasionally going home or eating and drinking at her own restaurant, she ordered takeout for the rest.
She almost ate all the takeaways in Beicheng.
I was almost vomiting.
Su Mian, "You should learn to do something by yourself, otherwise you will not be disliked by your husband if you get married in the future?"
"Who dislikes me? Captain Gu? He won't dislike him."
Su Mian was curious by her words, "Hey, honestly, that night, you and your Captain Gu..."
"Oh, I'm so sleepy, I'm going to sleep, bye."
"Oh, I..."
Before Su Mian finished speaking, she hung up directly on the other end.
She listened to the busy voice of "beep" in the microphone and smiled helplessly.
I put away my phone and was about to leave, but suddenly I felt something. I suddenly looked up and looked at the stairs leading to the second floor.
The corridor was brightly lit, and Zhong Nanqin was standing on the steps not far from her.
Su Mian saw clearly that it was him at first sight, and he was stunned in an instant.
Zhong Nanqin...
How could he be here?
Su Mian thought there was something wrong with his eyes, so he raised his hand and rubbed it gently.
As soon as she rubbed her eyes, before she could take back her hands, she heard a low sneer.
Then she heard the man say, "Silly."
Su Mian suddenly withdrew her hand and looked at the man in front of her again. At this moment, she had come to her senses from the initial surprise and surprise.
Xiu brows frowned slightly, and she glared at him with some dissatisfaction, "Who do you think is stupid?"
Zhong Nanqin walked down with his foot and stopped just one step away from her.
The height difference between the two is too big.
Every time he stood in front of her, he had to lower his head and lower his eyes.
He looked at her, his eyes slid from her forehead to her lips, paused, and finally met her sight again.
He asked, "What eyes are rubbing?"
His voice is low and magnetic, perhaps because he has just drunk alcohol, and the magnetism is mixed with a bit of unspeakable hoarseness.
Su Mian's cheeks burned when he asked.
She looked away from him and looked aside, "I was surprised to see you here."
"I've been here for a week."
Su Mian turned her gaze back and looked at him, "On a business trip?"
"There was something wrong with the branch, it was a bit tricky."
Su Mian, "What's wrong? Is it serious?"
After asking, she regretted it.
She didn't seem to ask this.
She looked away with some discomfort, but heard him say, "A child laborer died on the construction site, and now his family wants to sue me."
"Ah..." Su Mian didn't expect it to be so serious. She looked at Zhong Nanqin with concern, "How is it now?"
“It’s not over yet.”
"What should I do?" Su Mian was anxious for him, "Can you lose money?"
Zhong Nanqin frowned tightly, raised his hand and stroked his forehead, as if he was very troubled, "It won't work just to lose money, his family is very difficult to deal with."
"What do his family want to do?"
"life for a life."
Su Mian, “…”
She looked at the man in front of her and kept staring at the expression on his face.
He seemed to be in pain, and his expression was exhausted and haggard...
It seems that he didn't lie, and this time he encountered a difficult situation.
But she couldn't help.
As if seeing through her thoughts, Zhong Nanqin raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows while whispering, "Teacher Su, can you have a drink with me tonight?"
I don't know if there is auditory hallucination.
There was a hint of request in that always low and cold voice.
Su Mian, "I..."
She wanted to say she couldn't drink.
And after she got drunk, he took her a bath.
She swore that she would never dare to drink in front of him again.
Seeing that she was hesitant, Zhong Nanqin did not force her.
To be continued...
