The news of Zhou Yu’an meeting Ke Jingyu privately quickly reached the ears of Rongchuang Technology's CEO.
With the trust crisis erupting, staying at Rongchuang Technology became meaningless.
Zhou Yu’an had no choice but to resign from Rongchuang Technology.
On his first official day joining Ke's Group, Engineer Zhang returned to the company after finishing the small town project.
Everyone hadn’t gathered for a long time, and after working so many hours, with the first phase of work successfully completed, they all clamored for Jiang Nan Fang to treat them.
“Reward us, and welcome Engineer Zhou! Manager Jiang, take us out to relax!”
Jiang Nan Fang was not stingy.
Although she felt there was nothing to celebrate and was not in the mood to go out, she couldn’t refuse everyone’s request.
“Where do you want to go?”
They named a restaurant.
After dinner, they clamored to go to a bar to de-stress.
Looking out at the night sky, Jiang Nan Fang had been there before.
She knew all too well that it was the territory of Zhan Bei Jue and his companions.
But others didn't know, and insisted that it was upscale, refusing to go anywhere else. Jiang Nan Fang could only accompany them.
Her original intention was to just go in for a while and then find an excuse to leave.
To avoid running into someone she didn't want to meet.
Who would have thought that it would be so coincidental? She hadn’t been there in a hundred years, and the one time she went, she ran into Zhan Bei Jue.
Zhan Bei Jue had been so busy with various matters recently that he hadn’t gone out drinking even when Lu Ming Zhe invited him multiple times.
Lu Ming Zhe cursed him.
“Are you even human? Have you forgotten how I took care of you when you were bedridden a while ago?”
“Now that I’m feeling down, is it that difficult to find you to keep me company? Are we still brothers?”
Zhan Bei Jue could only put down his work and go to the bar.
The three of them still sat in the VIP seats upstairs, overlooking the area below.
Zhan Bei Jue mocked Lu Ming Zhe.
“You should just change your profession. You’re a psychological researcher, yet you can’t even control your own emotions. How can you save others?”
“I’ve never met a psychologist as dramatic as you.”
Lu Ming Zhe said shamelessly.
“Psychologists are people too. Psychologists have joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, and they need to express them. If you keep everything bottled up, you’re not a psychologist, you’re a psychopath.”
“Why is my life so miserable? When I was young, I couldn’t settle down and didn’t want to get married. Now that I’ve finally settled down, my mother tells me she arranged a marriage for me when I was a child.”
“What era is this, still arranged by parents? What is this?”
Lu Qingxu stood by the side, speaking without concern.
“If you don’t want it, you can give it to me. I think Mom is biased. Why arrange one for you and not for me?”
“You said that, didn’t you? I’ll tell Mom when I get back. Whoever wants it can have it, or I’ll give it to you, but I don’t want it anyway.”
“Me, a respectable Doctor of Psychology, involved in an arranged marriage? It would be a laughingstock if it got out.”
As he spoke, he also revealed his true intention for inviting Zhan Bei Jue out tonight.
He had seen many posts attacking the Zhan Corporation online recently.
He knew that if he didn’t proactively check on Zhan Bei Jue, he would never share his thoughts.
Lu Ming Zhe was afraid Zhan Bei Jue would bottle up his feelings, so he used the excuse of his own discomfort to get him out to relax.
Heaven knows, where could he find a friend as good and considerate as him?
For his psychological well-being, he had racked his brains!
“How are you? What have you been busy with lately?”
Zhan Bei Jue looked indifferent, not wanting to say more: “The usual.”
“I’m talking about your love life. Now that your body has almost recovered, have you gone to see that beautiful ex-wife again?”
He brought up the most sensitive topic.
Zhan Bei Jue shot him a sideways glance.
“It’s a good thing your mother arranged a marriage for you when you were young. Otherwise, with such a foul mouth, you’d be destined to be single your whole life.”
“Hey, aren’t I just concerned about you!”
“No need. Worry about yourself more.”
After saying that, feeling that Lu Ming Zhe didn’t have any serious issues, he got up to go back to work.
As a result, Lu Qingxu called out at this moment.
“Hey, look downstairs, look at that group of newcomers. Isn’t that woman your ex-wife?”
Zhan Bei Jue followed his gaze.
It really was.
The familiar Engineer Zhang, Zhou Yu’an, were by her side, and all the employees from Grei Electric’s technical department were accompanying them.
Were they here for team building?
This woman, after leaving him, always lived a thriving life.
Seeing his gaze fixed on her, he no longer mentioned leaving.
Lu Ming Zhe nudged him.
“Weren’t you about to leave? Why aren’t you going anymore?”
“Who said I was leaving?”
Zhan Bei Jue sat back down, his face not blushing and his heart not skipping a beat.
“I just drank too much, I was getting up to move around.”
The two brothers chuckled.
They had never seen anyone as eccentric as him!
If he liked his ex-wife so much, why did they divorce in the first place?
Moreover, they already had a child. If he liked her, why didn’t he pursue her boldly? What was with all this hiding?
Of course, these were just their internal thoughts, and they naturally wouldn't dare to say them to Zhan Bei Jue.
Zhan Bei Jue slowly savored the wine in his hand, watching Jiang Nan Fang sit down, order drinks for everyone, and the group took turns drinking.
Those who were supposed to dance went to dance, and in a blink of an eye, only she and Zhou Yu’an were left.
Zhou Yu’an was around their age, with regular features and the demeanor of a workplace elite. He clearly wasn't someone who enjoyed playing.
Sitting next to Jiang Nan Fang in her professional attire, anyone who didn’t know might think they looked quite compatible.
The two of them seemed to be chatting casually, talking about this and that.
They clinked glasses from time to time, appearing quite harmonious.
Zhan Bei Jue watched Jiang Nan Fang take sip after sip of wine.
He thought: Why did this woman drink so much now?
After being burned, she didn't take any medicine but drank so much wine. He wondered if she had any scars left on her body.
Jiang Si Cheng had just broken up with Kai Ge.
The young guys around him were all younger than him, and it was fun to interact with them at first.
However, they lacked substance, and he grew tired of them within three to five days of getting together.
He wanted to reconcile with Kai Ge but couldn’t bring himself to do it.
What’s more, the two young guys around him lacked any awareness, flirting and making superficial jokes between them.
It irritated him immensely.
Just then, Zhou Yu’an caught his eye.
He was in the same vein as Kai Ge.
That appearance, that height, that temperament, so manly.
The common women around him couldn’t even compare to 1/10 of him.
Jiang Si Cheng was attracted to him at a single glance.
However, there was a woman sitting next to him, and he wasn’t sure about his sexual orientation.
Jiang Si Cheng had been observing him.
Seeing him sit with Jiang Nan Fang for half an hour without showing any of the interest a man would have towards a woman,
And the two of them sat properly, without touching each other.
He keenly realized that they were not a couple.
Great, tonight wasn’t a wasted trip.
If he could win over this stunner, he wouldn’t be lonely for the next three to five months.
He tidied himself up, signaled to the waiter, and ordered two bottles of good wine.
He sent them to Jiang Nan Fang’s table.
