    ?

    The faint morning light leaked in through the gaps in the curtains, and just fell on Yan Xiaoshi's sleepy eyes, and the gloomy world suddenly became orange-red and warm.

    She squinted her eyes slightly, looking at the fine dust floating gently in the light. For a moment, she thought she was lying on the small bed at home, and her mother was making breakfast in the kitchen, while her father was poking his head in through the crack of the door.  She winked her eyes to signal her to get up

    From the age of seventeen when she went to college and left home to become a white-collar worker in the big city, she has never lived at home for a long time, and she can no longer return to the protection of her parents to be a carefree little girl.  As a result, those childhood spoiled by her parents have become the most extravagant memories of her being alone for many years, and they come to mind from time to time, especially when she encounters grievances and setbacks.

    After adapting to the bright light, the girl rubbed her eyes with her hands, her eye sockets were sore, and her brain hurt like a needle prick.

    I did drink too much last night!  It's all the fault of Hou Qinan, that perverted old man, who kept feeding her. She has never drank so much alcohol, and she never knew how uncomfortable after a hangover.

    With the eyes slowly turning, the unfamiliar curtains jumped into sight, and the girl shivered from head to toe!

    She raised her eyes and looked: the high ceiling, the simple and exquisite European-style ceiling lamp, and the completely unfamiliar furniture around her

    The hangover girl jumped up from the bed, sat at a right angle, and instantly regained her senses.

    She touched the neckline subconsciously. Fortunately, it was still the shirt she wore yesterday, and the buttons were well buttoned there.  Only then did she feel relieved, quickly put on her shoes, and ran out of the room.

    The bedroom was on the second floor, and the girl ran across the corridor and down the spiral staircase in a panic.

    It was very quiet in the villa in the early morning, only the slight sound of tableware being placed not far away.  She couldn't help but lighten her steps, walked carefully through the bright living room, walked up a few steps, and came to the dining room of the master's house.

    And the scene in front of her immediately made her brain go blank and her blood flow backwards.

    Zhou Shaoting!  How could it be him?

    Sunlight poured in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, generously filling the entire restaurant with brightness, and the man was sitting in the morning light, facing her sideways, with his head slightly lowered, reading a magazine.

    Living at home, he changed out of the well-fitting suit jacket he wore all day long, and only wore a dark blue plaid cashmere vest over his shirt. He lacked the sharpness of business elites, and added a little more leisurely intellectualism. He only had a neat and handsome face.  The internal lines reveal a fortitude and determination that is different from ordinary people.

    He was sitting at the dining table, and behind him, a neat aunt of about forty years old was pouring milk into the cup in his hand.

    For a disheveled, disheveled girl who ran down the second floor in a panic, the man at the table didn't care at all, didn't even lift his eyelids, still looked at the magazine in his hand, and said a word: "Morning.  "

    The deep male voice spread in the empty restaurant, and the sound wave almost shook Yan Xiaoshi. She wanted to respond appropriately, but her brain was nearly paralyzed, and she couldn't even use her mouth.

    Without getting any response, the man finally looked away from the magazine, and turned to the stunned girl indifferently but with some questioning.

    At this moment, Yan Xiaoshi is desperately searching for the reason for coming here from the thoughts disturbed by alcohol, sorting out the scattered memory fragments

    At six o'clock last night, the lights of the city that never sleeps came on.

    Qiu Zheng, the general manager of Kelin Environmental Protection Technology Co., Ltd., hosted a banquet at the "Diehai Garden" on the edge of the Pujiang River. The guest of honor was Hou Qinan, the chairman of Yongchuang Hi-Tech.

    On the one hand, it is to thank the old man for his noble hand and not to pursue Kelin's breach of contract responsibility for delaying the supply; on the other hand, he wants to win over this big customer.  Who doesn't know that the backstage of Yongchuang Hi-Tech is Yongsheng Group and Yijiang Holdings¡ªespecially Yijiang Holdings, which has been in the limelight in the past two years, and they are the golden backers with a bright future!

    Qiu Zheng has always been stingy, and this time he held a banquet at a top restaurant in Shanghai, which also cost a lot of money.

    Although Yan Xiaoshi has only joined Kelin Environmental Protection for less than a year, she is low-key and modest, but her beautiful appearance, good temperament, and postgraduate education have quickly become a little flower that attracts much attention in the company.  That night, she was undoubtedly called by Qiu Zheng to "accompany wine"¡ªyes, it was "accompany wine".

    In Xiaoshi's view, those so-called social dinners are nothing more than drinking, and she doesn't like drinking, and she doesn't like drinking with clients who have never had anything to do with her.  It wasn't that she was so noble, but that she would be very uncomfortable in that kind of situation, and she couldn't play tricks on the spot, and couldn't handle insincere compliments.  Therefore, she always deliberately avoided such occasions, and would not go if she could.  The leader took care of her not long after she started working, and generally did not force her to participate.

    However, this? But different.

    Her work mistakes were the direct cause of Kelin's breach of contract. She had made such a big mess when she first started working. In order to keep this job with a good salary, she could only bite the bullet and put it on the line.

    "Diehai Garden" is worthy of being the top restaurant in Shanghai, with luxurious and stylish decoration, unique layout of private rooms; famous chefs personally serve the dishes, exquisite dishes and excellent taste; waiters are young and beautiful, courteous and courteous.  Everything is so just right and pleasing to the eye.

    It's a pity that Yan Xiaoshi didn't care to appreciate it at all.

    Sitting opposite her was Chairman Hou Qinan, an old man from Fujian with a Taiwanese accent and a pair of gaudy eyes. Although he tried his best to pretend to be an upright gentleman, the words "lust" were clearly written on his face.  big characters!

    At the beginning, he behaved quite decently, he didn't pay much attention to beauties, and he rarely even looked at Yan Xiaoshi's side. He just talked about business with Hou Yaohua and others, talked about Chinese culture, and showed off his outstanding achievements and profound knowledge  .

    However, Xiao Shi still catches the corner of his eyes, intentionally or unintentionally, and thinks to himself: It's broken, I'm afraid it will fall into the hands of this old man today!

    As she expected, Hou Qinan's natural "color" must show before the third round of drinking.  No matter who started the conversation, the surnamed Hou will always have a way to get involved with the beauty opposite: "Ah, Lao Qiu, I didn't expect you Kelin to have such a talent! Graduated from Guanghua University oh? Or Peking University  Graduate student! That¡¯s really beautiful and talented! How many people like Ms. Yan are still working now? They¡¯ve already found a rich man to marry! Hahait¡¯s not easy!"

    Yan Xiaoshi quietly listened to Hou Qinan's compliment, his face was cold, he didn't say a word, and he didn't even raise the corners of his mouth.

    This made her boss Qiu Zheng very anxious, for fear that this little girl would be too shameless and offend the distinguished guests of Yongchuang. In secret, she would snort Yan Xiaoshi for a while, and look at Hou Qinan's face for a while.

    However, Hou Qinan really didn't seem to mind, not only didn't mind, but also seemed to appreciate her stubbornness.

    What kind of character is he, Hou Qinan!  I am used to seeing all kinds of beauties on weekdays, but if I know his worth, if not in a hurry to curry favor, then at least she is submissive and respectful.  It's really rare to meet such a master who doesn't buy it!  Such a lofty young woman, on the contrary, aroused his curiosity and desire to conquer - since you little girl doesn't like this, let's change the game.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
