Because he missed Jiang Nan Fang and also because of the hint Jiang Nan Fang gave him in his dream, Zhan Bei Jue couldn't help himself, and the night became more enchanting.
Jiang Nan Fang was very tired. Dreaming was too exhausting.
However, no matter how tired she was, she still had to get up to drink water.
She swore that she would never drink random alcohol again when she had nothing to do. Every time she drank, her mouth would be dry.
Spending money to suffer.
Zhan Bei Jue had intended to take a look at her, confirm she was fine, and then leave.
He accidentally overexerted himself, and coupled with his body recently sending distress signals, he felt quite unwell and fell into a deep sleep.
Jiang Nan Fang stumbled out of bed and into the living room, drank some water, and then drowsily fell back.
Her head hit something hard.
She thought she had thrown something onto the bed and wanted to grab it and throw it out.
Who knew that when she grabbed, she grabbed a human face.
Judging by touch, it should be a human face.
The nose was so prominent, the mouth so soft...
She instantly sobered up. She quickly sat up and turned on the bedside lamp.
Zhan Bei Jue also opened his eyes tiredly.
Seeing him, Jiang Nan Fang's mind went blank: "You..."
The two of them were as open with each other as they were when they were still married.
At this late hour, how did he end up in 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 hurt his eyelids, so Zhan Bei Jue raised his arm to cover them.
Using his pre-prepared excuse, he shamelessly said, "Didn't you call me to come over?"
Looking at his shameless 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 could I get in?"
"Didn't you force yourself on me and want to be intimate? I worked myself to death for half a day, and now you want to renege?"
Jiang Nan Fang was defeated.
Every time she drank or was not clear-headed, she encountered him. The last time, it was good that she received a check. This time, it was simply...
There was no end to it.
They were divorced, so why did it seem like there was no end to him?
Fine. Even if she had called him to come over, it was a slip of the tongue when she was drunk, and it shouldn't be taken seriously. She didn't intend to get involved with him further.
"Alright, consider it after-sales service. What happened has happened, and I'm too lazy to argue with you. But I won't let you stay in my room indefinitely. Since no one sees you now, hurry and leave."
She had a terrible headache.
Zhan Bei Jue felt like 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? If I tell you to leave, you leave!"
"You asked me to come and help you resolve things. If I leave before things are resolved, won't you regret it?"
Jiang Nan Fang was stunned: "You asked me to come and help you resolve things? What things?"
"Let me sleep for a while longer, just half an hour. I'll tell you after half an hour."
Seeing how truly tired he looked, and recalling the scene from 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 anymore.
Wrapping herself in a bathrobe, she ran to the guest bedroom.
She thought she would be indignant, unable to sleep, and would condemn Zhan Bei Jue's immoral behavior again and again.
Unexpectedly, her subconscious mind was so carefree that she fell asleep soundly within ten minutes of lying down.
Her mind was still vaguely on work. As she slept, Jiang Nan Fang's eyes snapped open. She grabbed her phone and saw it was half past eight.
She wondered if that Mr. Tang had returned yet.
She would go to the company to find him again today. If it didn't work out, she would give up.
All roads lead to Rome. The more she chased him, the more arrogant he became. She refused to believe that she couldn't live without him.
She rushed to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth. When she looked up to comb her hair, she saw the marks on her neck and remembered that Zhan Bei Jue was still in the room.
Was this thick-skinned person still refusing to get out of bed?
She went to the master bedroom to hurry him out. When she opened the door, he was already gone.
Jiang Nan Fang's heart was instantly filled with a nameless rage.
He comes when he wants, he leaves when he wants. They were divorced, so what did he take me for?
Scumbag, trash!
After tidying herself up and getting dressed, she went to the front hall of the company.
The receptionist's attitude towards her had completely changed, a 180-degree turn from before. She respectfully called Mr. Tang and invited her directly to his office.
Jiang Nan Fang was completely bewildered: What happened?
She hadn't done anything, so why the sudden change...
It wasn't until she entered Mr. Tang's office and saw the person sitting there that she understood.
Zhan Bei Jue had indeed intervened to help her.
Sitting opposite was none other than Li Xingliang, the manager of Zhan's venture capital company, whom she had met at Kangqiao Mountain Villa last time.
Mr. Tang warmly invited 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 contacted him to come and inspect it."
"Coincidentally, before leaving, I heard from President Wang Lang that our studio also has a project to cooperate with Mr. Tang. Since the studio is invested by Zhan's, and Mr. Tang is also about to cooperate with Zhan's, we are all one family. Let's all 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. I was overwhelmed by the project's fundraising a few days ago. While running for funds, I also had to manage various affairs of the company and couldn't spare time to receive you. I apologize for any offense and ask for your understanding."
"Since we are all family from now on, we will have plenty of opportunities to cooperate. Please allow me to apologize slowly. I am truly sorry, Engineer Jiang."
What Jiang Nan Fang had been trying to resolve for days was easily settled by Li Xingliang's few words.
Leaving the Spice Company, truthfully speaking, she felt a sense of defeat.
Domestic affairs placed too much emphasis on relationships and vested interests.
If your affiliated company is obscure and you have no outstanding connections, the other party will most likely act like Mr. Tang, not even giving you a chance to showcase yourself.
However, the Chinese are different.
They speak and act meticulously, emphasizing strength and speaking with data. That's why she was able to achieve results back then.
Jiang Nan Fang disliked using connections and even more so disliked becoming worldly. Although the matter was resolved, she wasn't happy at all.
Zhan Bei Jue woke up at six in the morning and called Zhou Jinbei.
Zhou Jinbei was so sleepy that he could barely lift his eyelids, and he was very reluctant.
"You only arrived past midnight last night, and now you're leaving at dawn. Do you have to be so driven?"
"I'll sleep in the car if I didn't sleep well. I'll drive today. Stop the nonsense."
After four hours of driving back to Nancheng, it was past working hours. After he finished reviewing the last bid document for Zhan Bei Jue yesterday, he personally went to the bidding site in the afternoon.
As expected, Zhan's entered the final round.
