Because he missed Jiang Nan Fang, and also because of Jiang Nan Fang's hint in his dream, Zhan Bei Jue couldn't hold back, and the night became a little more romantic.
Jiang Nan Fang was so tired, dreaming was too tiring.
However, no matter how tired she was, she still had to get up to drink water.
She vowed never to drink alcohol carelessly again when she had nothing to do, as she always felt thirsty and dry-mouthed after drinking.
Spending money to suffer.
Zhan Bei Jue had intended to take a look at her and leave after confirming she was fine.
He accidentally overexerted himself, and coupled with his body sending out distress signals recently, he felt quite unwell and fell into a deep sleep.
Jiang Nan Fang stumbled from the bed to the living room, drank a few mouthfuls of water, and then groggily returned to bed.
Her head bumped into something hard.
She thought she had thrown something onto the bed and wanted to grab it and throw it out.
Unexpectedly, as she reached out, she grabbed a human face.
Judging by the touch, it was a human face.
The nose was so prominent, the mouth so soft…
She instantly sobered up, hurriedly sat up, and turned on the bedside lamp.
Zhan Bei Jue also opened his eyes, weary.
Seeing him, Jiang Nan Fang's mind buzzed: "You..."
The two of them were as open with each other as when they were still married.
Late at night, why did he come to her bed like this?
So it wasn't a dream just now!
"When did you come to my room? How did you get in? Who allowed you to touch me? Have you no shame?"
The light was uncomfortable for his eyelids, so Zhan Bei Jue raised his arm to cover them.
Using his prepared excuse, he acted shamelessly: "Didn't you call me to come over?"
Looking at his rogue demeanor, as if he had done something wrong and didn't regret it, Jiang Nan Fang was speechless.
"I called you to come over? How is that possible! When did I call you?"
"If you didn't call me, how would I know where you live? If you didn't open the door for me, how would I get in?"
"Didn't you force yourself on me and want to be intimate? I'm exhausted, and now you want to renege?"
Jiang Nan Fang was defeated.
Every time she drank or was not clear-headed, she would encounter him. Last time she at least received a check, but this time it was simply…
It never ends.
They were divorced, why was she still entangled with him endlessly?
Alright. Even if she had called him over, it was a slip of the tongue due to alcohol, and it shouldn't be taken seriously. She didn't intend to get further involved with him.
"Alright, consider it after-sales service. What happened has happened, I can't be bothered to argue with you. But I won't let you stay in my room forever. Since no one sees you now, hurry up and leave."
She had a terrible headache.
Zhan Bei Jue felt that he really needed to stop working and go to the hospital. Exhausted, he didn't want to move.
"What time is it?"
"Who cares what time it is, I told you to leave, so leave!"
"You asked me to come and help you settle things. If I leave before things are settled, won't you regret it?"
Jiang Nan Fang was stunned: "You asked me to help you settle things? What things?"
"Let me sleep for a while longer, half an hour is enough. I'll tell you after half an hour."
Seeing how truly tired he looked, and recalling the scene in her dream just now, Jiang Nan Fang couldn't help but blush.
Regardless of whether she had called him over or not, she couldn't stay in this room any longer.
Wrapping herself in a bathrobe, she ran to the guest bedroom.
She thought she would be indignant, unable to sleep, and condemn Zhan Bei Jue's immoral behavior over and over again.
Who would have thought that her subconscious mind was so carefree? She fell soundly asleep less than ten minutes after lying down.
Her mind was still vaguely occupied with work. As she slept, Jiang Nan Fang suddenly jolted awake, grabbed her phone, and saw it was 8:30.
She didn't know if that Mr. Tang had returned.
She would go to the company to find him again today. If it wasn't successful, she would give up.
All roads lead to Rome. The more you chase after someone, the more they put on airs. She didn't believe she couldn't live without him.
She rushed to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. While combing her hair, she saw the marks on her neck and remembered that Zhan Bei Jue was still in the room.
This thick-skinned guy, still not getting up?
She went to the master bedroom to get him. Pushing the door open, she found he had already left at some point.
Jiang Nan Fang's heart suddenly flared up with a nameless anger.
He comes when he wants, and leaves when he wants. They were divorced, what did he think this place was?
Scum, trash!
After tidying herself up and getting dressed, she went to the company's front hall.
The receptionist's attitude towards her had changed 180 degrees. She respectfully called Mr. Tang and asked her to go directly to his office.
Jiang Nan Fang was completely bewildered. What had happened?
She hadn't done anything, so why suddenly…
It wasn't until she entered Mr. Tang's office and saw the person sitting there that she understood.
Zhan Bei Jue had indeed come forward to help her settle things.
The person sitting opposite was none other than Li Xingliang, the manager of Zhan Corporation's venture capital company, whom she had met at Kangqiao Mountain Villa last time.
Mr. Tang enthusiastically welcomed Jiang Nan Fang to sit down, and Li Xingliang took the initiative to explain.
"Mr. Tang has been seeking investment recently. I heard about this project from a friend and felt it had good prospects, so I took the initiative to contact him for an inspection."
"Coincidentally, before leaving, I heard from Mr. Wang Lang that our studio also has a project to cooperate with Mr. Tang. Since the studio is invested by Zhan Corporation, and now Mr. Tang is also cooperating with Zhan Corporation, we are all one family. Let's sit down and chat together."
"Engineer Jiang, do you have any objections?"
Before Jiang Nan Fang could say anything, Mr. Tang stood up apologetically, grabbed her hand, and shook it vigorously.
"I'm truly sorry, Engineer Jiang. A few days ago, I was overwhelmed with the project's fundraising and had to manage all sorts of company affairs while running for funds, so I couldn't spare the time to receive you. I apologize for any offense and ask for your understanding."
"Since we are family from now on, there will be plenty of opportunities for cooperation. Let me apologize to you slowly. I am truly sorry, Engineer Jiang."
The matter that Jiang Nan Fang had waited days for and couldn't resolve was easily settled by Li Xingliang's few words.
Leaving the spice company, to be honest, she felt a little frustrated.
Domestic affairs focused too much on human relationships and interests.
If your affiliated company is obscure and you have no outstanding connections, the other party will mostly be like Mr. Tang, not even giving you a chance to showcase yourself.
But Chinese people are different.
They are meticulous in their words and deeds, value strength, and speak with data, which is why she was able to achieve results back then.
Jiang Nan Fang disliked using connections and didn't want to become worldly. Although the matter was resolved, she couldn't feel happy at all.
Zhan Bei Jue got up at six in the morning and called Zhou Jinbei.
Zhou Jinbei was so sleepy that he couldn't even lift his eyelids, and he was very reluctant.
"You only arrived in the middle of the night yesterday, and now you're leaving at dawn. Do you have to be so dedicated?"
"I'll sleep in the car if I don't get enough sleep. I'll drive today, stop the nonsense."
After four hours of driving back to Nancheng, it was already past working hours. After reviewing the final bid document for Zhan Bei Jue yesterday, he personally went to the bidding site in the afternoon.
As expected, Zhan Corporation entered the finals.
