King Jingyao really wanted to say goodbye, but for the sake of the project, he endured it and smiled, "I could introduce you."

In any case, those harsh conditions, Bo Xichen wouldn’t agree to them...

Upon hearing this, William felt relieved, so he enthusiastically kept pouring drinks. The young foreigner was full of vigor, even Old Wang, a seasoned veteran of the drinking table, found himself faltering. Two hours later, he drank too much, inevitably becoming a bit indiscreet.

The secretary-general saw the situation and immediately whispered, "Mr. Wang, it’s getting late. Why not call it a night? You have an important meeting early tomorrow morning."

King Jingyao, always in perfect sync with him, knew he was probably a bit tipsy upon hearing this, and thus smiled slightly, "Alright, let’s wrap it up then."

Saying so, he exchanged a few more pleasantries with the foreigner. Although the foreigner was quite enthusiastic, he knew King Jingyao’s status meant they couldn’t continue drinking. He didn’t insist, and it ended amicably.

After King Jingyao walked out, his face darkened, indicating he hadn’t drunk too much.

He paused his steps, and the secretary-general understood, smiling beside him, "Are you considering Professor Bo’s matter?"

King Jingyao glanced at him, his face gloomy, "Didn’t you hear him say it must be Bo Xichen?"

He patted the elevator next to him, and the elevator shook slightly.

Wang Jingchuan’s smile was forced, "Dr. Jiang made such a fuss just to carry someone else’s sedan chair."

King Jingyao sneered, "Who says not?"

The secretary-general wanted to say something, but the elder brother was clearly in a bad mood and didn’t want to say anything...

Upstairs, just as he got into the car ready to leave, Jiang Chaoge probably finished dealing with the foreigner, hurriedly stepped down in high heels, hesitated but lightly tapped on the car door.

The window rolled down, King Jingyao sat inside without any intention of alighting, looking displeased. Jiang Chaoge got anxious, her voice very gentle, "Mr. Wang, I really didn’t know about William’s matter. If I had known, I would have told you earlier. You surely wouldn’t have easily..."

As she spoke, the secretary-general in the front sighed: really can’t speak, Mr. Wang’s pain is exactly where she pokes.

Jiang Chaoge finished speaking and looked directly at King Jingyao, hoping for some response.

King Jingyao leaned back in the seat, smiling faintly, "It’s not your fault, don’t feel burdened. We’ll talk later."

Jiang Chaoge felt somewhat comforted inside. Her reckless, unscrupulous yearning to marry him was just to win back her pride. Earlier in the year, she was really utterly defeated, losing face in Beicheng; this time she must regain her ground.

She gazed at King Jingyao, her heartbeat quickening, "Are you going to the concert tomorrow?"

"Why wouldn’t I?" Old Wang’s smile was carefree, "Didn’t we agree? Do I seem like the type to break promises?"

Jiang Chaoge breathed a complete sigh of relief, "Certainly not."

King Jingyao smiled again, speaking warmly, "It’s late, you should go home and rest too."

After saying so, he gestured to the secretary-general, who immediately told the driver, "Drive."

The car window rose, the black limousine slowly left, followed by two white official vehicles, looking grand.

Jiang Chaoge stood in the nighttime, watching quietly for a moment, her fingers tightening.

She could sense that King Jingyao was truly annoyed with Gu Anxi, his respect for Bo Family had diminished greatly. Clearly, Mr. Wang wanted to handle this project himself, and she must find a way to achieve it.

Just then, Chen Ming, who was the last to leave the lobby, came out, saw Jiang Chaoge and approached her, "Chaoge, has Mr. Wang left?"

Jiang Chaoge nodded, then probed slightly, "How are you and Song Beauty? I heard your mother is coming to Beicheng, meeting the parents maybe?"

Chen Ming appeared a bit uneasy, smiling, "No. Little Song and I aren’t involved."

Jiang Chaoge asked casually, "Then your mother’s visit is for something important?"

Chen Ming, being straightforward, didn’t hide anything and said directly, "Might be for matchmaking."

Jiang Chaoge echoed softly, smiling, "Auntie must have found a good girl."

Chen Ming said nothing more, just glanced around, "Where’s your car? Need me to take you?"

"No need, the driver’s coming to pick me up." Jiang Chaoge said and her gaze fell on Zhou Yunchen in the back.

Zhou Yunchen, once considered a prodigy, all of Beicheng knew he was Mr. Wang’s favorite. Unexpectedly, he had become a pawn between Mr. Gu and Mr. Wang.

Jiang Chaoge looked at Zhou Yunchen, smiling slightly, "Mr. Zhou drank quite a bit, seems like drinking away his sorrows."

Zhou Yunchen knew she was being malicious, so he lit a cigarette, asking with interest, "Dr. Jiang, is there a hidden meaning in your words?"

Now that he was down, Jiang Chaoge naturally didn’t take him seriously, laughing lightly, "I mean, the rise and fall caused by Xiao He’s wisdom, Mr. Zhou certainly understands these principles."

These words were quite unpleasant actually, even Chen Ming felt it was unbearable, wanting to say something, but Zhou Yunchen spoke up.

Still smiling, with a full smile, "I often read books saying women have long hair but short knowledge, I’ve always disagreed with this. Women can also hold up half the sky, like my sister Anxi. But after meeting Dr. Jiang, I’ve had some thoughts, some women self-righteously think highly of themselves, inevitably liking to point fingers at others, thus came the term ’long-tongued woman’ in books."

His words infuriated Jiang Chaoge, making her extremely angry, her face turned green. And Chen Ming found Mr. Zhou incredibly impressive, admiration filled his gaze.

Zhou Yunchen had a cigarette in one hand and patted Chen Ming’s shoulder with the other, "Chen Ming, remember to stay away from petty people, or you won’t know how you died."

Chen Ming wasn’t that foolish and scratched his head, chuckling upon hearing this.

Zhou Yunchen didn’t bother with them anymore, directly went to his car, Song Beauty opened the car door for him, Zhou Yunchen got in, and the car quickly drove off.

Jiang Chaoge was still furious, and although Chen Ming felt her behavior was a bit improper, he still smiled politely, "I’ll be off then."

Jiang Chaoge called him, "Chen Ming."

Chen Ming made a sound of acknowledgment and turned back.

Jiang Chaoge hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Is it Zhou Yunchen who opposes your relationship with Song Beauty?"

Chen Ming’s face showed confusion, "No, because she doesn’t like me, what does it have to do with Mr. Zhou?"

After saying this, he looked deeply at her, "Chaoge, actually I think Mr. Zhou is right, some things have nothing to do with oneself, it’s better not to comment, making everyone unhappy, nobody wants to play with you... Haven’t you noticed you don’t have friends?"

He was an honest person, but sometimes what honest people say are truths, and the truth is often the most hurtful.

Jiang Chaoge was infuriated, about to explode.
