Chapter 151 Drunkard
Secretary Zhang Lanlan knocked on the door and came in to remind me that Mr. Wang and his party from Qingdao Mermaid Company had arrived and were waiting for me in my office.
I agreed, explained to Xu Shu, and was about to go meet them. But Xu Shu, who was the chairman of the company, also came along. As soon as they met, the Shandong people were so excited that they were incoherent and completely forgot the purpose of their visit.
I could only smile bitterly. Having a big star as the chairman of the board is very famous, but the normal work cannot be carried out!
Not long after, four or five more reporters came over after hearing the news. No one knew who notified them. Now, the company's office space immediately became a press conference for the big star Xu, and more reporters were arriving one after another.
Xu Shu first answered many questions from the reporter, and then took the opportunity to promote the company and its products. She was originally the spokesperson for Yejianxiang tea, and now everyone on earth knows that the big star Xu is also the big boss behind the Yejianxiang company.
The result is: it is impossible for the company not to be famous!
I came back from the city government in the afternoon and went to Ziguang Pavilion to attend a banquet for Mr. Sun from Jianghan Company. Xu Shu really enjoyed being a chairman that day as she said, and she even attended this banquet as the company's president.
At the banquet, the people from Jianghan Company were excited and surprised. It was hard to describe the day's work. Before leaving, Xu Shu said, "It was really fun. I have a lot of free time these two days. I will come to work more often!"
I am! You... you are just making trouble, aren't you?
But she is the company's largest shareholder, so there is nothing I can do.
When we parted, I drove Qian Xiaolei home. Halfway through the journey, Qian Xiaolei suddenly received a call: "Hello! Oh... OK, I'll be right over!"
She put down the phone, looked at me and said, "Vice President Tang, I have to go meet someone, can you take me there?"
I said, "No problem, where are we going?"
"Huaian Road, Mingdian Coffee House!"
I turned the steering wheel and drove towards Huai'an Road.
The car stopped in front of Mingdian Coffee House, but Qian Xiaolei didn't rush to get out. She held her chin with her hand and thought for a long time. I asked curiously, "We're here! Don't you want to go?"
Qian Xiaolei turned to look at me and suddenly said, "Tang Qian, it's still early, come with me for a cup of coffee."
I looked at my watch and said, "No need. You're meeting your friends, so why would I go? Besides, it's already past nine o'clock, and I have to get up early for work tomorrow!"
Qian Xiaolei grabbed my hand without saying anything and said, "Never mind! This is a rare opportunity. We are old classmates, can't we find a place to chat? Stop putting on your vice president's airs!" As she said that, she tried to pull me out of the car.
I said anxiously, "Hey...Okay, okay! I can come down by myself, why are you pulling me?"
Qian Xiaolei said: "Okay! I'll let you go, but you can't run away!"
I frowned, wondering what Qian Xiaolei was doing? Why did she want me to drink coffee with her at this time?
I got off the car and followed her into Mingdian. Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind and I thought of a possibility. Could it be...
I stopped and said to Qian Xiaolei, "Jie Qin... is on top?"
Qian Xiaolei didn't say anything. She took my hand again and said, "You'll know when you go upstairs. Be a man and don't back down !" Then she pulled me upstairs with force.
When I saw her like this, I was sure Qiu Jieqin was on top. My heart was like fifteen buckets of water being drawn, up and down, all of a sudden it was all in a mess. I haven't seen her for half a year, is she... okay?
I was dragged up to the second floor by Qian Xiaolei. I saw Qiu Jieqin sitting in front of a private room, and there was a woman sitting opposite her. Looking at her tall figure, it turned out to be Sun Li, a classmate I hadn't seen for many years.
Qian Xiaolei called them first: "Jie Qin, Sun Li! Look who's here?"
The two women looked up at the same time. When Qiu Jieqin saw me, her face suddenly turned pale, and the small spoon she was using to stir the coffee fell into the cup.
I felt mixed emotions, happy but also guilty. I looked at my former girlfriend, forced a smile, and said, "Jie Qin..."
Sun Li was still as hot-tempered as ever. When she saw me, she immediately stood up and shouted, "Tang Qian, you ungrateful thing, how dare you come over here?"
I was speechless, just looking at Qiu Jieqin. Qiu Jieqin looked sad, turned her head away and didn't want to look at me. Qian Xiaolei grabbed Sun Li's arm and said, "Sun Li, don't make trouble, let them talk by themselves. Come with me!"
Sun Li stepped out, glared at me fiercely, and warned me: "Tang Qian! If you still have a conscience, quickly confess to Jie Qin, otherwise..."
Before she could finish her words, Qian Xiaolei dragged her away: "Hey, stop nagging, let them solve their own problems, why are you so excited?"
The two disappeared quickly, and I sat silently opposite Jie Qin, not saying a word, sighing in my heart. I always felt indebted to her, and I couldn't raise my head in front of her.
After a long time, Qiu Jieqin smiled sadly, turned her head back and said, "Tang Qian, I heard that you have been successful in your career. Congratulations!" I saw tears in her eyes. I hadn't seen her for more than half a year and she had lost weight.
My heart ached, and I asked, "Jie Qin...are you okay?"
Qiu Jieqin forced a smile and said, "I... am getting married on the fifth of next month."
My heart trembled, and I said, "Really? Then... congratulations to you too!"
"Thanks!"
The sudden unfamiliarity made us fall into silence again. A waiter came over and asked me what I wanted to drink. I ordered something at random and looked at Qiu Jieqin. My heart was full of ups and downs, and I was filled with endless emotion.
After the coffee came, I didn't feel like drinking it. I thought it would be better to explain some things to Jie Qin. So I said, "Jie Qin, I'm sorry. There's something I didn't do. I and..."
Qiu Jieqin immediately interrupted me and said, "What I know is in the past. I don't care anymore."
"Really?" I lowered my head, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Suddenly my cell phone rang. I said sorry, took it out and looked at it. I immediately left my seat and put the phone to my ear and said, "Hello?"
Xu Shu's angry voice came: "Tang Qian! I really can't leave you for two minutes! We just separated and you're already going on a date with a woman! Do you still have Jingjing in your heart? You disappoint me so much!"
I looked around and didn't see anything unusual. I angrily said to her, "Xu Shu! Didn't I tell you not to send people to follow me? Why are you doing such an immoral thing again?"
"I'm protecting you. This is Jingjing's order!"
"I don't need it! Can you please respect my human rights? If you do this again, I will be angry!"
"You... you are so mean... I am just concerned about you..." Xu Shu was almost crying on the phone. I sighed and felt that I was too blunt, so I tried to slow down my tone and said, "Xu Shu, I am an adult now. I know what I am doing. I will not do anything to let Jingjing down. Please call your people back. I appreciate your kindness, okay?"
"Tang Qian...I..."
I added, "The woman I'm meeting now is my ex-girlfriend, the owner of the scarf. She's getting married, and there are things I must make clear to her so that she can completely untie her knot and find her own happiness. You spying on us like this makes me uncomfortable, so please call her back, okay?"
"Okay...well! Humph! Owner of the scarf! Now I know you! You'd better take care of yourself!" After saying that, he immediately hung up the phone.
I smiled bitterly and walked back to my seat. Qiu Jieqin smiled and asked, "Your girlfriend?"
I shook my head and said, "No, my girlfriend is still in the United States!"
"Really? I heard about your story. Hua Jingjing also suffered a lot for you!"
I was stunned for a moment, and said, "You... really know everything?"
"Well, I am more concerned about your affairs."
I sighed and added, "I...I'm sorry!"
Qiu Jieqin smiled and said, "I am useless, so I don't blame you! Okay, let's not talk about this. Tang Qian, we may not be together again in the future. When we were dating, it seemed that you never accompanied me to have fun. Now that we are still single, can you play with me tonight for a while? It will be my wish, okay?"
I felt a pang of sadness in my heart. I had really been… bad to her in the past. With a guilty conscience, I said, “Okay! Where are we going?”
Qiu Jieqin stood up immediately and said with a smile: "Let's go to the dance hall! Let's go crazy!"
That night, I went crazy with her! After leaving the dance hall, we went to the bar again. One bar was not enough, so we drank in three bars. Qiu Jieqin seemed very happy and kept laughing. I was careful and didn't drink much, but Qiu Jieqin got drunk quickly.
Completely and totally drunk!
I knew she was actually unhappy, but I didn't try to stop her. After tonight, I would never have such a moment with her again, and she would soon become someone else's bride.
I called Qian Xiaolei and said, "I'm sorry, Qian Xiaolei, Qiu Jieqin is drunk and it's not convenient for me to take her home. Can you come and take her home? We are at XX Bar now."
"You guys... Hey! Wait, I'm coming!"
After getting Qian Xiaolei's consent, I looked at Qiu Jieqin sleeping on the table, and I felt extremely uncomfortable. I knew she loved me deeply, but I let her down deeply. I don't know if she will be happy in the future, I have caused her too much harm.
I always get sentimental easily. While waiting for Qian Xiaolei to come, I drank a lot of wine...
Finally, Qian Xiaolei came in a hurry. I said with a big tongue: "Xiaolei, you drive my car to take her back. I will stay here for a while."
Qian Xiaolei said angrily: "What kind of man are you if you are such a coward? I really don't know why Jie Qin likes you? There is no one else in her family, why don't you send her back yourself?"
I was stunned for a moment, then said, "Jie Qin said...she's getting married next month, and I'm afraid...it might cause misunderstanding!"
"Marriage? What the hell! Where did she get her husband? How come I don't know? She just wanted to help you and lied to you on purpose!"
My heart trembled, and I was speechless for a moment. Qian Xiaolei went over to help Jie Qin, and then said to me angrily: "Tang Qian! Ask yourself, Jie Qin loves you so much that she is willing to let you go free for you! But what about you? When you were intimate with other women, did you ever think of her for a moment?"
I couldn't help but feel a sore nose and said bitterly: "I... I'm sorry for her!"
"Give me the car keys!"
I took out the car keys and threw them to her. Qian Xiaolei helped Qiu Jieqin leave. I felt an inexplicable pain in my heart. I reached out to the waiter and shouted, "Bring me... three more bottles of wine. I want more!"
That night, I was also drunk and vomited all over the place, and was thrown out of the store by the bar staff.
I huddled in the corner, crying silently.
A man came up to me, sighed, came to help me, and whispered: "If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? What's the point of crying? If you are a man, you must take responsibility! Show your courage!"
My eyes blurred, and in my drunken haze, I clearly saw Jingjing beside me. I was surprised and happy, and said in a trembling voice: "Jingjing! You're back?"
In great joy, I opened my arms and hugged her tightly, murmuring, "Jingjing, I missed you so much. It's great to have you back. It's really great!"
Jingjing struggled in my arms and shouted, "I'm not Hua Jingjing, let me go!"
I ignored her and kept shouting, "Jingjing... my wife! Please don't leave me again. The days without you... I'm so sad. Promise me... never... never leave me again!"
Jingjing in my arms sighed and said, "Drunk!" Then she helped me up and stuffed me into a car. I held her tightly and refused to let go. I hadn't seen her for such a long time, and my longing for her was right in front of me. How could I let her go?
I carried her into the car and put her on the seat. Jingjing below angrily said, "Tang Qian! What are you doing?"
I kissed her on the lips, madly and with all my heart...
The person below struggled, grabbed my hair, and bit my lips until they bled. I was stunned for a moment, then looked up . I found that the woman under me was not Jingjing, but the petite Qian Xiaolei. She was glaring at me, shouting, "Tang Qian, you are crazy!" I was about to explain, but the alcohol came over me, and I tilted my head, and I knew nothing...
