Zhan Beijue carried Gong Beibei into the elevator and pushed the limp person against the wall, instructing Jiang Nanfang.
"Close the door."
Hah. Bringing his girlfriend to a hotel and making his ex-wife close the door for him?
This man was truly something else.
Jiang Nanfang rolled her eyes and closed the door, pressing the button for the 22nd floor.
Seeing that the person behind her was not moving, nor coming to press the floor button themselves, she looked back at the two of them.
"Which floor are you going to?"
Zhan Beijue was also going to the 22nd floor, so there was no need to say more.
Exchanging a glance with Jiang Nanfang, as if she had asked a question of utmost disrespect, he indifferently shifted his gaze aside.
Jiang Nanfang immediately felt like she had been treated like a dog.
Offering to press the floor for him, and he wouldn't even acknowledge her?
If I ever willingly speak to you again, I'll be a dog!
It was cold and uncomfortable with her face pressed against the wall.
Gong Beibei mumbled, turning around to lean on Zhan Beijue.
"Ah Jue, I feel uncomfortable, my head is so dizzy~"
"If you can't drink, then don't drink anymore." Zhan Beijue, as if afraid she would cling to him, took a step to the side, distancing himself from her as much as possible.
"If you can't stand, sit on the floor. The elevator will arrive soon."
She's just a girl, and she's drunk like this, what's wrong with helping her a bit? Look at how disgusted he is.
Gong Beibei thought: I refuse to believe that I still can't get close to you like this! If I don't keep you here tonight, I'm not human!
The elevator quickly reached the 22nd floor.
Jiang Nanfang went out without looking back, reached her own door, and swiped to open it.
Her peripheral vision caught Zhan Beijue taking Gong Beibei to the apartment diagonally opposite hers.
Hah, her ex-husband spending the night with his current girlfriend diagonally opposite her own apartment, could there be anything more ironic in the world?
Fortunately, the copyright had already been sold. She could take the children away tomorrow.
She didn't care who he was with; out of sight, out of mind!
Jiang Nanfang entered her apartment, put down the wontons, organized the 1.5 million from selling the copyright and 500,000 from the comic royalties, and sent a message to Zhou Jinxiu.
"Give me an account with no spending limit. I'll transfer some money to you."
Zhou Jinxiu had been cooped up at home for three days.
At this crucial moment, his so-called friends were utterly useless.
Just as he was worrying about when he could see the light of day again, he received a message from Jiang Nanfang.
His first reaction was disbelief.
He asked Jiang Nanfang: "How much money are you giving me? Where did you get the money?"
"Thirty to fifty thousand wouldn't help me much anyway, forget it, don't give me your living expenses, you need to live your own life too."
Her words were quite conscientious.
But he was overthinking.
Does Jiang Nanfang lack money?
"Don't worry, I've left enough for my living expenses. Stop talking nonsense, do you want to get out? Send it quickly."
At a time of urgent need, even a fly's leg is better than nothing.
Zhou Jinxiu could only send: "Then consider it a loan for now."
A moment later, he received 2 million in his account.
Seeing this amount, Zhou Jinxiu couldn't help but be surprised.
Although 2 million was not much for someone like him who was accustomed to grand occasions, the person giving it was Jiang Nanfang...
A mere employee, actually so loyal.
"When I can get out, I'll arrange a few beautiful girls for you. Don't worry, today's favor won't be repaid in vain."
Forget it, introducing girls to her? She was already annoyed by them.
Jiang Nanfang thought: Giving you 2 million, our accounts are settled. From now on, I'll leave without any regrets. Don't contact me again, that's it.
She started to eat, booking her flight while eating, planning her return to Dang Country tomorrow.
Across the hall, Zhan Beijue dragged Gong Beibei into the room, tossed her onto the sofa, and turned to leave.
"Alright, you can stay here tonight. Go back when you're sober. The children are waiting, I'm leaving first."
"No, Ah Jue!" Gong Beibei quickly slid off the sofa and grabbed his leg.
"I feel so uncomfortable, I'm scared! Don't leave me here alone, please, stay and keep me company."
She was usually elegant and witty, leaving a good impression.
Unexpectedly, she turned into this when drunk.
Seeing her clinging to him on the floor in such a posture, Zhan Beijue felt a shattering of his perception and an innate sense of repulsion.
"Beibei, I've always treated you as a friend and a sister. We're both adults, have some self-respect."
Gong Beibei looked up, her face filled with sadness as she looked at him: "Is it because I'm not good enough, not beautiful enough, that you don't like me?"
"..."
"You never thought about trying with me? Is it because I've had boyfriends that you don't think I'm worthy of consideration?"
Zhan Beijue: "I haven't thought that far. If I don't like you, I don't like you. There aren't so many additional conditions. Don't overthink it."
"But you haven't even tried with me, how do you know you won't like me?"
"Ah Jue, I'll be obedient. I can do whatever you like. Don't refuse me in a hurry, please give me a chance, okay?"
Zhan Beijue felt nauseous again. He couldn't explain things to a drunk person, and he couldn't bring himself to use force.
Just as he was contemplating whether to call Lu Qingxu to help, his phone vibrated.
He took it out and saw it was A Zhong calling.
"Mr. Zhan, there's a problem with the new product." A Zhong's tone was very serious.
"The first batch of products shipped to Shenzhen just arrived at the dock. During loading, a routine inspection found damage to the product casing."
"The quality inspection personnel conducted experiments, and out of ten samples, all ten had problems, far from meeting the standard requirements."
How could such a thing happen?
A new product that had just been launched, and the first batch sent to customers had such serious errors?
Zhan Beijue frowned: "How many products are there in total?"
"The total order is 20,000 units. Five thousand are being loaded, and the factory has 15,000 remaining. I've already had people check them, and the ones in the factory also do not meet the standards."
Damn Jiang Nanfang. He knew she didn't have that much capability.
How could she allow such a huge flaw in the product!
It was all his fault for trusting her too much; this was a big problem.
"Does Vice President Gao know about this? What does he say?"
"Vice President Gao's daughter had some trouble, so he took leave today and went to Jeju Island. He should still be on the plane, and his phone is unreachable."
"Immediately have someone retrieve the blueprints and analyze the materials of the product. Find out which stage had the problem. I'm going to the dock now."
"Okay, Mr. Zhan." A Zhong hung up the phone.
Zhan Beijue lost all interest in dawdling with Gong Beibei and unceremoniously pulled his foot out of her grasp.
"There's something at the company, I'm leaving now. Don't throw a tantrum. Someone will be here to accompany you later."
Jiang Nanfang had only eaten half of her wontons when the doorbell rang.
Before she could even ask who it was, Zhan Beijue's voice sounded from outside the door.
"Jiang Nanfang, come out."
Is he crazy!
It's this late, and instead of being intimate with his girlfriend in the room, he's come to knock on her door?
And his tone is so aggressive. What did she do to offend him now?
Jiang Nanfang took her wontons and went to open the door while eating.
The door opened, and their eyes met. After two seconds, Zhan Beijue snatched the lunchbox from her hand.
"You're still in the mood to eat? You useless eater! There's a problem with the product, come with me."
"Hey, hey, hey, are you crazy! What happened that you can't even let me finish my meal before taking me away? Where are we going so late?"
Zhan Beijue grabbed her wrist: "To the dock! All the products you designed have problems, and we can't ship them to the client!"
"Jiang Nanfang, I knew you didn't have that much capability, I shouldn't have trusted you so much!"
"It's a small matter to be compensated by the customer for delaying the delivery schedule. Because of you, the reputation of Zhan Corporation has been damaged, be careful, I'll make you pay!"
