The number was from Fucheng.
The first person she thought of was Shen Min'er, and she quickly answered.
"Min'er, is that you?"
She hadn't expected her to answer so quickly.
Hearing her gentle voice, Min'er felt as if she had found a pillar of support and couldn't help but choke up.
"It's me. I'm in trouble. Can you come and help me?"
Jiang Nan Fang waved, signaling everyone to quiet down.
She asked, "What's wrong? Are you crying? Did someone bully you? Is it Ke Teng? What did he do to you? Where is he now?"
Min'er stated the name of the restaurant and said she was in the restroom.
Jiang Nan Fang got up and walked out.
"I'm here too. I'll find you immediately. Don't panic."
Hearing Ke Teng's name from her mouth, everyone stood up.
"What's wrong, Engineer Jiang? What bad thing has that scumbag Ke Teng done again?"
"It's not clear yet. Don't get agitated, you all sit here and wait for me. I'll be back soon."
Soon, Jiang Nan Fang found Min'er in the restroom.
Seeing her flushed face, smelling of alcohol, unsteady on her feet, and wearing the clothes she had just bought yesterday, she immediately understood.
"He took you out for entertaining, and made you drink with people?"
Min'er regretted it so much she wanted to bite her tongue.
Feeling guilty and embarrassed, she nodded at Jiang Nan Fang.
"He wants to acquire those two prime land plots, which requires tens of billions in funding, so he's been contacting bank presidents lately."
"Tonight he invited eight of them, and I have to accompany each of them for drinks."
In Jiang Nan Fang's impression, Ke Teng wasn't like this.
Although he was childish, extreme, and impulsive, it was more like the naughtiness of a child.
How could he do something so inhumane now?
"Why didn't you refuse him? Just because you're afraid of being fired?"
"Even if you don't want to work for the Zhan Corporation, Nancheng is so big, there are always other companies that will hire you. Is it worth abandoning all your dignity for such a job?"
Min'er didn't dare to tell her the truth.
Looking at her, she opened her mouth and then fell silent.
"Do you have something unspeakable that you can't tell me?"
She hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"Did Ke Teng already bully you? Does he have any compromising evidence that you're afraid he'll ruin your reputation?"
"No."
Min'er shook her head.
"How could I have that kind of relationship with him? He likes you, he never saw me as a woman."
"Then why are you still letting him control you?"
"Please. Don't ask anymore. Just tell me what I should do now."
"What can you do? Stop drinking, go home. Resign tomorrow."
"As you said, he doesn't see you as a woman. If you keep enduring this, you'll suffer a great loss sooner or later."
"You're so young, you can't joke about your entire future with him! I'll take you away!"
Min'er had concerns.
"No. If I leave like this, he won't let me go."
"What are you afraid of? You have your brother. Can he eat you?" m..oΓg
"If all else fails, you have me. Let him come after me directly!"
Jiang Nan Fang supported her by the arm and they walked out of the restroom.
However, after just two steps, her phone in her bag rang.
Min'er grabbed it and saw it was Ke Teng calling.
She was so scared her face turned pale.
She handed the phone to Jiang Nan Fang.
"He's getting impatient. He's already looking for me. If I leave like this, it'll make him lose face..."
Jiang Nan Fang thought about it and realized it was indeed not ideal.
Why did men like to bring beautiful women out with them?
For face.
If he lost face in front of everyone, he would probably hate Min'er even more, and hate her as well.
Let's see what tricks he wanted to play.
Jiang Nan Fang pondered for a moment and gestured for her to answer.
"Then you answer it, and tell him you'll be right back. I'll find you later."
Min'er stumbled back into the private room.
A group of men immediately turned their gazes towards her.
They made dissatisfied jokes about her.
"Why did you take so long? You can't handle it after just starting. Do you think accompanying us old guys is boring, Miss Shen, and you're deliberately hiding from us?"
"Mr. Ke, if you can't handle it, don't come out to play. Bring people who can. You've whetted our appetites, and now you're doing this. It's boring."
Ke Teng looked at her with displeasure.
He seemed to feel that Shen Min'er was letting him down.
Min'er walked over and leaned weakly on the chair.
"I really can't hold my liquor, I apologize to all of you."
"You're right. I can't handle it, so let me leave first."
She actually wanted to leave?
Director Zou's face darkened.
"Mr. Ke, this is where you're wrong. She doesn't want to play, but you're forcing her to come."
"It's as if there are no women in Nancheng, and you like to force people. Let her go. Find some people who know how to play, and I don't want to see her again in the future."
Ke Teng looked at the unpromising Shen Min'er with displeasure, about to say something.
A waiter knocked on the door of the private room.
"Excuse me everyone, please excuse me."
"Miss Jiang from room 6606 upstairs asked me to send over a bottle of wine. Should I open it now or...?"
"Miss Jiang?"
Ke Teng furrowed his brows.
"Shen Min'er, Jiang Nan Fang is here too?"
Min'er didn't hide it from him.
"Yes. I just ran into her in the restroom and we talked for a few minutes."
This was interesting.
Ke Teng sneered and looked at everyone.
"Do you know who this Miss Jiang is?"
Zhan Bei Jue was secretly married and had never publicly announced his wife, so of course no one knew.
He explained with satisfaction.
"Zhan Bei Jue's beloved wife, Jiang Nan Fang."
"Interesting, she's here too. How about I have her come down to have a few drinks with you?"
Zhan Bei Jue's wife would come down to drink with them?
He's bluffing.
Everyone didn't dare to take it seriously.
Someone spoke boldly.
"You're acquainted with Zhan Bei Jue's wife? And she's sending you wine? Are you bluffing?"
"It's not that I look down on you, brother, but with Zhan Bei Jue's attitude..."
"Let me put it this way! I really want to try what it feels like to drink with his wife!"
Ke Teng looked at him with a confident expression.
"How about this, let's play something interesting."
"If I can get his wife to have a few drinks with you, our business here today is settled. Do you dare to play?"
"Of course! If you can accomplish something this difficult,"
"We'll definitely show you respect! If she can sit on our laps and drink three cups with each of us, we'll sign the contract tomorrow!"
Ke Teng was extremely satisfied.
He slapped the table hard.
"It's a deal!"
He turned to the waiter.
"Leave the wine, and help me pass a message to Miss Jiang, her sister needs her to come down."
Shen Min'er was terrified.
She knew Zhan Bei Jue's temper.
She also knew Zhan Bei Jue's feelings for his wife.
If his wife were to be insulted by these old men because of her...
After Ke Teng finished speaking, she was half sobered by fear and got up hastily.
"No. You can't do this!"
"What? Jealous? Afraid she'll steal your spotlight."
Ke Teng chuckled sinisterly, "Fine, then I won't call her, you accompany them."
"..."
Just as they were in a stalemate, Jiang Nan Fang appeared at the doorway herself.
