1249 Treat You Out for a Drink

“I…”

Lili blinked and almost blurted out Qiao Shuyi’s instructions. Fortunately, she changed the topic and quickly said, “I was about to leave.”

“CEO, are you okay? Do you want the company’s driver to send you?” Lili suggested.

Although Jian Changsheng was in a bad mood, he didn’t want to drink and drive. Hearing this, he said, “No need to trouble yourself. I’ll take a taxi back. You should go early too!”

Lili nodded and walked towards the elevator with Jian Changsheng.

At this moment, another light was switched on in the office area on the top floor. The entire building was silent, and there seemed to be faint cries in the silent space.

This strange scene was like a scene from a horror movie. Jian Changsheng frowned and stopped in his tracks. He asked Lili, “Is there anyone on the top floor who hasn’t left?”

“I’m not sure. That location seems to be where Project A sits…” As soon as she finished speaking, Lili immediately had goosebumps.

Because Project A was the department Han Wenjing was in. Han Wenjing was the director of Project A when she was alive.

At this thought, Lili’s face turned pale. It was only past seven in the evening. Was the company haunted?

Just as she was frightened, Jian Changsheng passed the elevator and walked towards the lights. Lili didn’t dare to stay alone and quickly followed.

Everyone on the top floor had gotten off work. The location where the lights were switched on was indeed the office area of Project A. Moreover, someone was crying.

However, that person was not Han Wenjing’s ghost, but the new leader of Project A, Vivian.

The director’s office was half-open. Vivian lay on the sofa in the office and buried her head in a pillow. As if thinking that everyone had gotten off work, she cried exceptionally loudly and engrossedly. Her whimpers were exceptionally sad.

Jian Changsheng and Lili stood at the door and paused for a few seconds. Vivian didn’t notice them. In the end, Jian Changsheng knocked gently.

The sudden knock on the door seemed to scare Vivian. She suddenly raised her head and propped herself up. Her red and swollen eyes revealed a frightened expression – tears had covered her face. Coupled with her extraordinary appearance, her tear-stained appearance was exceptionally lovable.

“CEO?”

Seeing Jian Changsheng standing at the door, Vivian blinked in surprise. In the next second, she wiped her tears and stood up from the sofa. “You… you haven’t left?”

Seeing Vivian crying so sadly, Jian Changsheng guessed it was because of the news of Han Wenjing’s death.

“Is it because of Director Han?” Jian Changsheng walked forward and asked Vivian gently.

Before Vivian could say anything, tears welled up again. She glanced up to hide them and sobbed. “I’m sorry. I can’t control myself. As soon as I think of this, I…”

At this point, she could not continue.

However, Vivian’s cry touched Jian Changsheng again. He could empathize with Vivian’s feelings.

Vivian had been working under Han Wenjing since she entered the company. She was the company’s employee who had interacted with Han Wenjing the longest. Han Wenjing had a strict personality, but she had praised Vivian more than once in front of him. Therefore, when something happened to Han Wenjing, Jian Changsheng directly promoted Vivian to sit in the director’s position.

Now that Vivian was heartbroken, Jian Changsheng felt she was a loyal person.

“I’m sorry, CEO. I’ve made a fool of myself.” Vivian sorted out her emotions and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, revealing a forced smile.

Jian Changsheng said, “I’ll treat you to a drink.”

He felt Vivian needed alcohol as much as he did.

Vivian nodded sadly. “Alright.”

Such a situation should happen naturally. Because of Han Wenjing’s death, the two saddest people in the company arranged to have a drink together. This was the direction a story should take.

Lili opened her mouth to tell Jian Changsheng that the CEO’s wife was waiting for him to come home, but in the face of such a natural situation, she said nothing.

Watching Jian Changsheng and Vivian get into a taxi and leave, Lili didn’t hesitate this time. She took out her phone and called Qiao Shuyi.

“Lili.” Qiao Shuyi’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “Is Changsheng back? Did he drink?”

“Madam, the CEO just left,” Lili said. “But he’s not going home. He went out for a drink with Director Vivian.”

“Vivian?” Qiao Shuyi was a little puzzled as if she was not familiar with this name.

Lili quickly explained, “She’s one of Director Han’s subordinates. Because of the news of Director Han’s death, the CEO saw her crying alone in the office, so the CEO invited her out for a drink.”

“But the CEO also drank in the office in the afternoon. I smelled alcohol on him.”

“Did he drink too much?” Qiao Shuyi asked.

“Not yet. He was quite sober when he came out of the office,” Lili said. “But I was worried that he would get drunk if he drank more. Besides, I don’t know where they went, so I thought I should tell you quickly.”

“They just left. Do you want me to follow them?” Lili said again.

“No, thank you.” Qiao Shuyi smiled and said, “I know where they went.”

After hanging up, Qiao Shuyi sat on the sofa with her phone in her hand for a moment before making another call.

Soon, the call went through.

“York, it’s Shuyi.”

“Yes, Changsheng is not in a good mood today. He might go to your place for a few drinks. Help me take care of him. If he drinks too much, remember to call me. I’ll pick him up.”

“No, it wasn’t a fight. A colleague from his company passed away.”

“Thank you!”

After hanging up, Qiao Shuyi rubbed her temples gently. At this moment, Nanny Xu came out of the kitchen. Seeing this, she went forward and said, “What’s wrong, Madam? Is Sir not coming back?”

Qiao Shuyi nodded. “Yes, there’s no need to wait for him. Let’s eat. He went out to drink.”

“Went out to drink?” Nanny Xu couldn’t help but be surprised. “Sir hasn’t drunk in a long time. Why would he go out to drink for no reason?”

Because she was the old nanny at home, Nanny Xu was as casual as family.

Qiao Shuyi stood up and mumbled, “It’s about what I told you during the day. He’s in a bad mood. It’s fine to go out for a drink occasionally. Let’s eat. Remember to make some hangover soup later and let him drink it.”

“Alright.” Nanny Xu said nothing else and turned around to go to the kitchen.

Qiao Shuyi looked up at the time on the wall. The hands of the clock were neither too much nor too little. It was just half past eight in the evening.

She sighed and walked towards the dining table.
