Jiang Ziyu looked at Shen Lin and deliberately urged, "They're calling you."
"I'm calling you!" Di Mingjue said again.
His tone was even more intimidating than before.
Shen Lin kindly reminded, "Madam, you should go over first."
If he truly angered the man, neither of them would have a good time.
With her arm unable to twist a thigh, Jiang Ziyu reluctantly walked to Di Mingjue's side. Lowering her head, she asked in a sarcastic tone, "Is there something you need me for?"
"Prepare yourself to accompany me to meet clients tonight," Di Mingjue said.
Meet with several partners? Did he need her for this when Shen Lin was present?
Jiang Ziyu glanced at Di Mingjue's expression, then back at Shen Lin. His words also surprised Shen Lin.
The men at the drinking table were all foul, their eyes lighting up when they saw women. Why would she be involved in such a chaotic environment?
"I need to go back and be with Qianqian tonight," Jiang Ziyu refused.
"Qianqian has her grandmother to accompany her; she won't miss you for a moment," Di Mingjue said, taking out his phone to call the elderly lady at home. After informing her that they would be back late, the old lady not only didn't rush them but happily agreed.
Now, she couldn't even find a reason to refuse.
...
Evening arrived quickly. Shen Lin acted as the driver, parking the car in front of a five-star hotel.
"President Di, long time no see!"
As the server opened the private room door, the partners who had already arrived greeted Di Mingjue warmly.
After a few pleasantries, everyone's gazes curiously fell upon Jiang Ziyu.
They were all accompanied by female secretaries, so it wasn't unusual to see women present. However, it was the first time Di Mingjue, who usually kept women at a distance, had brought one with him.
"And who is this?" the man who spoke was Huang Hao, the president of Huang Group. His upturned eyebrows greedily scrutinized Jiang Ziyu.
Men are visual creatures. While they consider a woman's appearance to be a minor factor, their most valued attribute is her figure.
Jiang Ziyu was wearing a professional suit today, which perfectly showcased her alluring figure. Even though her face was marred by ugly spots, it couldn't conceal her excellent physique.
"My wife," Di Mingjue said, resting his arm on Jiang Ziyu's waist. He pulled her inward, forcing her to press against him.
Huang Hao, who had been curious about Jiang Ziyu moments ago, instantly paled and quickly apologized, "Please forgive my ignorance, Mrs. Di. Don't hold it against me."
Jiang Ziyu didn't bother to reply, shaking her head to indicate it was alright.
After this small interlude, everyone took their seats. Servers went back and forth, placing food on the table.
Business dealings are inseparable from alcohol; before anyone could even pick up their chopsticks, their glasses were already full.
"I've invited everyone tonight for no other reason than to casually discuss our cooperation," Di Mingjue said, raising his wine glass and lazily swirling it.
Whether the speaker had any ulterior motives was unclear, but the listeners felt uneasy.
"President Di is too kind. It is our honor to cooperate with Di Jue Group," said Wu Qi from the side.
Huang Hao chimed in with agreement.
Di Mingjue smiled, raising the glass to his lips and emptying it in one go.
Observing their knowing glances, Jiang Ziyu paid no attention to the conversation, lowering her head to enjoy the delicious food.
Although she hadn't exerted herself at the company during the day, she hadn't eaten lunch due to the earlier commotion and was already starving.
She was completely focused on the food, and her body instinctively swayed as she savored it. Unbeknownst to her, Di Mingjue was smirking beside her.
"President Di and Mrs. Di's relationship is truly enviable!" Di Mingjue's female secretary beside Huang Hao cast a look of admiration.
Having intended to be an invisible presence, she was unexpectedly singled out. Jiang Ziyu had no choice but to put down her chopsticks and swallow the food in her mouth with water.
