Chapter 994: Chapter 590: Like Someone Heartbroken, the Dumped Kind (Part 3)

"Brother Four, do you have other matters?"

"If it’s just for this, you needn’t go through all the trouble to call us out."

Jiang Chengsi smiled wryly, touched his nose, "No wonder Grandpa always praises you for being smart. I didn’t even say anything, and you already know there’s something else..."

"What’s the matter?" Qi Zeyan inquired.

"If we’re going to start trial operations early, the funds..." Jiang Chengsi coughed twice, "After all, you two are shareholders, so I definitely need to discuss with you."

"Jiang Chengsi, you..." Qi Zeyan was furious.

Seems like he’s here to ask for money.

"My aunt is getting married soon, and with Wanwan’s due date approaching, I have a lot of expenses, not much I can spare." Jiang Jinsang spoke frankly, Shen Shuci and Huo Qinqi’s wedding, he definitely had to prepare a big gift.

"I’m aware of your situation, so..." Jiang Chengsi looked at Qi Zeyan.

"How much did I give you earlier? Do you really think my family runs a bank?"

The company belongs to their family, but the actual person in power is his grandfather, so Qi Zeyan, in the end, is just an employee.

"If none of us have money and the club goes bankrupt, you wouldn’t care?" Jiang Chengsi sighed, "In that case, all your previous investments would be gone."

"..."

"Zeyan, I invested more than you. If the club collapses, I might not even be able to afford the rent for my current house. If employees can’t be paid, you know how many people will lose jobs?"

Qi Zeyan suddenly remembered Ruan Mengxi saying she’d leave if the club went bankrupt, and he bit his cheek.

After a few seconds, he said, "How much do you need?"

Jiang Jinsang drank water silently, watching the two haggle, without saying a word from beginning to end.

Once the business was finished, Jiang Jinsang said he would go home to accompany Tang Wan and prepared to leave.

"It’s hard to get out once, haven’t even stayed for an hour, and you’re leaving? Your girlfriend is with Grandma at home, nothing’s wrong, you can’t be away from her?"

"Yeah." Jiang Jinsang nodded, "I already miss her a bit."

Jiang Chengsi shuddered, "Are you sappy, disgusted?"

"You’re single, you won’t understand."

"Even if I’m in love, I wouldn’t be as clingy as you. We’re all independent individuals, busy separately daily, meet for a date when free. I think that’s normal dating life; you shouldn’t lose yourself."

Jiang Jinsang coldly asked, "Where did you read this emotional love chicken soup?"

"..."

After Jiang Jinsang left, Jiang Chengsi dragged Qi Zeyan to drink for over half an hour, and finally he wanted to leave too.

"Have your assistant come pick you up." Jiang Chengsi sighed, "You know, with everyone getting married and dating, it’s hard to find someone to drink with."

"Find me a driver."

"Where’s Xiaozhu? Off work?"

They went out today for Ruan Mengxi’s farewell, Xiaozhu had specially taken off, and Qi Zeyan said nothing, waiting till the driver arrived, and then left the club.

Originally, he agreed to go home, but halfway there, Qi Zeyan suddenly mentioned a restaurant’s name.

The driver just drove, turning the car around, heading to the restaurant he named.

**

At this moment, Ruan Mengxi was drinking and chatting joyfully with colleagues.

Today was Friday, no work tomorrow, everyone drank heartily, with alcohol loosening tongues, complaints aside, gossip about bosses was most discussed.

Colleagues were most interested in Qi Zeyan’s private life, especially the female colleagues.

"Xiaozhu, has the boss really not been in a relationship? Impossible!"

"How’s it impossible? I’ve been with him for long, very familiar with the Fifth Lord and others, our boss really hasn’t dated, nor brought anyone home, you shouldn’t judge based on his glamorous appearance, but behind huge family business, there’s immense pressure, requiring strict self-discipline." Xiaozhu sighed.

"He started with company matters before graduation and directly joined work after, the early years of company management were tough for him, even meals were squeezed in, no time for romance." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"Think about it, our boss’s life wasn’t easy."

"Without a girlfriend, no ambiguous acquaintances? Or you know, adult stuff..." alcohol always spices the conversation.

"I heard once from the Second Lord, said he hadn’t even held a girl’s hand."

Ruan Mengxi frowned, "What about a first kiss?"

"No kisses, where’s the first kiss from? I guess our boss is still a virgin."

Ruan Mengxi pursed her lips, but he clearly mentioned...

She suddenly remembered when she said she stole a kiss while he was drunk, his expression that day, shocked and dumbfounded, as if wanting to devour her, she bit her lip hard.

Could it be...

She stole his first kiss!

My gosh...

Ruan Mengxi, you must’ve drunk too much.

She raised her hand to pat her face, feeling flushed from alcohol, she slapped twice trying to sober up.

"Xiaoruan, what are you doing? Why slap your face?" a colleague noticed, laughed watching her.

"I might’ve drunk too much, feeling dizzy, I’ll wash my face."

Ruan Mengxi stood up to walk out, thinking inside, she definitely overthought.

Her steps wobbly, staggered, mind spinning, slightly leaning on the wall, avoiding a fall.

But upon exiting, she happened to bump into two people also likely drunk, walking more unstably, not intending to collide, they cautiously avoided each other.

She stepped aside, but her body was unstable, nearly hitting the wall, wearing heels, and losing balance quickly fell backward.

At that moment, all she thought was:

She was doomed!

Wearing a skirt, falling awkwardly would be so embarrassing.

Unexpectedly, someone behind her caught her instantly with a warm and dry hand, holding her tightly in his embrace.

Her back pressed against his chest, tightly, completely without space.

Her breath caught, instinct signaling a man, body slower than mind, before any struggle, heard from above, a voice...

"Did you drink too much?"

Ruan Mengxi squinted, heart seized tightly.

Sounded like his voice.

She really might’ve drunk too much...
