312: Chapter 0312: Rage Rising 312: Chapter 0312: Rage Rising Although Tian Jihu looked at i Hanqing with a greedy desire, he did not make any excessive moves!
Being entrenched in the system, he was well aware that impatience wouldn’t help him eat the hot tofu, and that delicious porridge needed to be simred slowly over low heat to taste even better!
Moreover, now that i Hanqing was right in front of him, there was no chance she would escape, especially since she now needed sothing from him.
Besides, he had been eyeing i Hanqing for more than a day or two.
He had waited for so long, what was a mont more?
Under the warm hospitality of i Hanqing, Tian Jihu slowly sat down.
Due to Tian Jihu’s arrival, the waiter imdiately began serving the dishes!
In just a mont, all the dishes i Hanqing had ordered earlier were served, accompanied by two bottles of Maotai!
However, i Hanqing didn’t dive into business right away but kept lavishing praise on Tian Jihu, making him sowhat carried away.
Although he modestly responded with words of denial, his face was filled with pride.
i Hanqing did not just praise him, she also kept toasting Tian Jihu and giving Ye Xunhuan aningful glances!
But Tian Jihu was not interested in Ye Xunhuan and even seed sowhat impatient, as if Ye Xunhuan’s presence was botherso.
In response, Ye Xunhuan didn’t cozy up to him but just sat aside minding his own business, completely ignoring i Hanqing’s signals no matter how she signaled him!
All he needed to do was make sure i Hanqing wasn’t taken advantage of by that old geezer; as for everything else, he had no intention of getting involved.
“I’ve always heard others say Director Tian has great capacity for liquor, and seeing it today, indeed, his reputation is well-deserved!”
As i Hanqing also drank a good amount with Tian Jihu, her cheeks slowly turned a charming shade of red!
“Not to brag, but back when I was young, others gave the nickna ‘a thousand cups without drunkenness’!”
“It shows!” i Hanqing said with a chuckle.
While i Hanqing and Tian Jihu were drinking and chatting rrily, Ye Xunhuan’s phone suddenly rang.
This caused both Tian Jihu’s and i Hanqing’s gaze to fall unavoidably on Ye Xunhuan.
Having been in the corporate world for years, i Hanqing knew well that during such etings with bigwigs, it was best to keep phones on silent or vibrate.
Otherwise, so might think you’re being disrespectful.
Otherwise, even a deal that could be done might fall through!
Ye Xunhuan gave i Hanqing and Tian Jihu a sheepish smile, “Sorry about this, I need to take a call outside!”
With that, Ye Xunhuan got up and walked out.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan leave, a satisfied look appeared on Tian Jihu’s face.
Then he glanced at i Hanqing, as if thinking in his heart that it was all part of i Hanqing’s plan to purposely send Ye Xunhuan away!
In the corporate world, the public relations departnt is definitely one of the hardest to manage, as it’s easy to be misunderstood, especially for female public relations officers!
All the more so for a head of public relations like i Hanqing!
Bringing soone along could help ward off suspicions, preventing people from gossiping.
Now Tian Jihu thought that this was exactly the little sche i Hanqing was playing.
After leaving the room, Ye Xunhuan then answered the call.
“Boss Chu, what do you need for?”
“Can’t I contact you if there’s nothing urgent?”
“Look at what you’re saying, we should keep in touch when there’s nothing urgent, perhaps foster so feelings!” Ye Xunhuan said lightly, “Who knows, one day I might win the heart of such a beauty as you, and then I won’t have to worry about eating and drinking!”
“Aren’t you afraid your wife will hear this and kill you!”
“My wife isn’t around!” Ye Xunhuan chuckled, “Besides, what man doesn’t have a side job!”
Chu Ji on the other end of the phone was speechless for a mont, “You have a very peculiar part-ti job…”
“Confucius says: A man who doesn’t want to be a kept man isn’t a good man!”
“Who is this Confucius?
I’ve never heard of him.”
“Ye Xunhuan said it!”
“You’re not referring to yourself as Ye, are you?”
“You’re really sharp, Sergeant Chu!”
“Stop sweet-talking , now get your ass to the Hilton Hotel!”
“What for?” Ye Xunhuan’s heart skipped a beat: “You aren’t really planning to keep , are you?”
“Yes, I want to keep you!” Chu Ji said gently: “Aren’t you coming over…”
Ye Xunhuan replied awkwardly, “That’s not possible, I’m a bit tied up today…”
“What’s the matter?”
“It’s that ti of the month, not convenient!”
Chu Ji at the Hilton Hotel couldn’t help but have three black lines appear on her forehead: “Ye Xunhuan, you’re shaless…”
“Alright, alright, no more jokes.
What did you need for, Sergeant Chu?”
“To eat!” Chu Ji whispered: “Waiting for Lord Ye to invite to dinner, who knows how long that’ll take, so I had to invite Lord Ye myself!”
“That might be difficult today?”
“What’s going on?”
“I’m tied up today?”
“Are you with your wife?” Chu Ji said indifferently: “No problem, you can bring your wife along.
I’ll treat both of you and finally see how beautiful your wife is to be praised to the heavens by you!”
“No, I’m out entertaining leaders, I really can’t leave!” Ye Xunhuan truthfully said: “So other day, I’ll treat you, how about that?”
“Alright then, you better rember!” Chu Ji warned: “If you dare to stand up, I won’t let you off!”
“I promise, I’ll definitely treat you to a al in the next couple of days!”
After hanging up the phone, Chu Ji looked at the table full of dishes, her face slightly dimming and filled with bitterness.
During their school days, Chu Ji had liked Ye Xunhuan.
However, back then and perhaps in the entire world, Ye only had eyes for Su Guyan.
She had to bury her love deep in her heart, and even after all these years, she had never forgotten Ye Xunhuan.
The class reunion, Chu Ji said she only attended because she heard Ye Xunhuan would be there.
She wanted to see how the man she once liked was doing, but unexpectedly, seeing him rekindled the love she buried many years ago.
She realized she was still in love with this man, still liked him!
Yet she hadn’t expected him to be married, but even so, she didn’t give up completely and decided to take a chance!
But now, having invited Ye Xunhuan to a al, yet being refused, Chu Ji’s heart was filled with a bitterness like never before.
This was not a good sign!
With no Su Guyan in his life now, he had other won, so many obstacles in her path!
“Ye Xunhuan, I missed you once, and I absolutely won’t miss a second chance!”
Ye Xunhuan, unaware of Chu Ji’s feelings, headed back to his private room after hanging up the phone.
As he pushed the door open, his eyes widened in shock!
He saw Tian Jihu tearing at i Hanqing’s clothes, while i Hanqing was struggling, her face full of panic!
In that mont, Ye Xunhuan felt a fire of rage ignite in his heart!
