"Forget it, you look like someone who's been lectured by his wife. Let me treat you," Jiang Feifei raised her hand and pressed the call bell, beckoning the waiter.
Looking at the dishes on the menu, she scanned it briefly before handing it to the waiter. "Give us one of everything the restaurant recommends."
"Certainly." The waiter took the menu and left.
Di Dongsheng remained silent throughout. As soon as Jiang Feifei stopped talking, the private room became unnervingly quiet.
She wondered how long he could stay quiet.
The waiter brought all the dishes, and the cool stillness of the room was replaced by the enticing aroma of food.
"Since you've all graced me with your presence, don't just sit there with a long face," Jiang Feifei poured red wine into her high-stemmed glass. After swirling it, she leaned forward and placed it in front of Di Dongsheng.
Her chest was almost spilling out of her clothes. As she settled back into her seat, she brushed against Di Dongsheng's hand.
"Don't be discouraged. What happened today is not a big deal at all. You have the ability, and you have plenty of ways to get new opportunities," Jiang Feifei picked up a fork and began cutting her steak.
Ability?
Di Dongsheng found it amusing.
If he had the ability, he wouldn't be here.
A piece of steak was placed on his plate. Di Dongsheng followed her arm and looked at Jiang Feifei opposite him. "What do you mean?"
"Just have a good meal with me. After we finish, I'll show you something that will surely lift your spirits," Jiang Feifei popped a piece of steak into her mouth and picked up her wine glass, shaking it towards Di Dongsheng.
Her glass tilted, facing his.
After a moment of thought, Di Dongsheng picked up his wine glass and clinked it against hers.
Jiang Feifei watched him with a smile and proactively served him food.
The meal lasted several hours. As the last of the wine was finished, Jiang Feifei called for the waiter to bring more red wine.
Di Dongsheng stopped the waiter. Glancing at the time, he stood up and walked to Jiang Feifei. "The thing!"
"You sit here," Jiang Feifei patted the empty seat next to her, calling him over. Seeing that there wasn't much space, she scooted over and leaned against the armrest of the innermost seat.
The meal was over, and she didn't mind waiting a few more minutes.
Di Dongsheng bent down and sat, and Jiang Feifei, like a magnet, zipped over and leaned onto his shoulder.
Her flushed cheek pressed against his arm, her fingers intentionally or unintentionally hooking onto his clothes.
Di Dongsheng disliked such intimate behavior. No longer able to bear it, he pushed her away.
"I can help you," Jiang Feifei leaned closer to him, her lips brushing his cheek as if there, and as if not.
The scent on her person wafted into his nose, a feeling Di Dongsheng detested. Ignoring her whimpering beside him, he forcefully pushed her back onto the seat.
Her head hit the back of the chair. Jiang Feifei whimpered in pain. She clutched her head, curling up uncomfortably in the booth.
Di Dongsheng glanced down at her from above, then turned and picked up the jacket leaning against the chair, preparing to leave.
As he reached the door, Jiang Feifei, seeing that her ploy of feigned hurt wasn't working, called out to him from behind, "Don't you want to know?"
Di Dongsheng's hand, which was on the doorknob, loosened. After a few seconds of hesitation, he heard footsteps behind him.
A scent, a strong smell of alcohol, reached him first.
Jiang Feifei stood behind him and said, "The Wu Corporation is involved in a project with the Jiang Corporation. If you can join with the Di Corporation's name, you will certainly surpass Di Mingjue in the future."
The Wu Corporation had been involved in real estate for years and participated in many projects. They also had cooperation with the Di Jue Group.
Her words gave Di Dongsheng a reminder. If he maintained close ties with the Wu Corporation and had the Wu Corporation's CEO befriend him, he wouldn't have to fear being publicly humiliated by Di Mingjue like he was today.
Turning back, Di Dongsheng asked, "What's the specific plan?"
"Take me home first. When I'm sober, I'll tell you tomorrow," Jiang Feifei leaned against him again.
To secure the company, Di Dongsheng suppressed his displeasure, supported her by the shoulder, gathered her belongings, and left the private room.
