Chapter 1158: Chapter 1145: I Will Spend This Lifetime Giving You the Answer [4011 Words]

At the same noon, Song Yansheng had a social engagement, accompanied by Chi Rui.

The client was from Shanghai, considered one of TK Group’s major clients.

At the dining table, Song Yansheng seemed to be in good spirits, drinking several glasses of alcohol in succession, despite Chi Rui’s attempts to intervene, which were too late.

Most people thought Song Yansheng was happy, but Chi Rui knew he was somewhat gloomy.

Of course, tonight Lady might be returning to the Shi Family for a short stay, and Mr. Song clinging so much to Lady surely couldn’t feel good.

But even if he’s in a bad mood, he shouldn’t be careless with his health, as his stomach isn’t in great shape.

Sure enough, after the banquet, Song Yansheng was slightly intoxicated. Chi Rui arranged for someone to take the client back, and upon returning to the private room, found Song Yansheng resting with closed eyes on a nearby lounge chair.

Chi Rui initially wanted to call out to him but ultimately couldn’t bear to disturb him, wanting to let him rest for a while.

Chi Rui had followed Song Yansheng thus far, for eleven years, understanding this man perhaps better than himself.

He had witnessed how Song Yansheng made his way through the challenges in America, establishing his venture capital company step by step.

He also witnessed how Song Yansheng, when in T City, overcame all obstacles to gradually build up TK Group.

Chi Rui, being a silent but proud person, had never truly admired anyone at the age of twenty-seven until now.

Song Yansheng was the only one.

To Chi Rui, Song Yansheng was a friend, an elder brother, a leader, and a mythical figure.

Such a man, in his eyes, should be invulnerable and unbeatable.

Yet, Song Yansheng had his vulnerabilities. Although outwardly cold and aloof, he was actually a very kind-hearted person.

Indeed, if he weren’t kind, how could they have met each other, and how could they have stayed together all these years?

For the first two years knowing Song Yansheng, he was unaware of Shi Nuan, during which he often wondered what kind of woman such an outstanding man as Song Yansheng would like?

Blonde-haired and blue-eyed beauties overseas were seductive, charming, beautiful, and uninhibited, with many being quite interested in Song Yansheng.

However, Song Yansheng always kept his distance, and although Ji Xiangling was around at that time, Chi Rui felt that Song Yansheng did not have feelings for Ji Xiangling.

Chi Rui, being two years younger than Song Yansheng, was eighteen when Song Yan was twenty.

His personality was not exactly endearing, and he was even somewhat apprehensive about women, so naturally, he couldn’t understand what love was.

A year later, when Song Yansheng was twenty-one, he suddenly decided to return to the country.

At that time, Chi Rui was quite surprised, as the venture capital company abroad was developing well, and if Song Yansheng continued to hold the fort, it would undoubtedly flourish even more in a few years.

But Song Yansheng still returned without hesitation.

Chi Rui recalled the night before returning to the country, when Song Yansheng invited him and Qu Yuzuo for a drink.

Qu Yuzuo had something going on that day and arrived a bit late, leaving him alone with Song Yansheng.

After drinking for a while, Song Yansheng said, "This drinking is too boring, let’s get two hostesses over here!"

Chi Rui was stunned at the time, to call for hostesses, Song Yansheng?

Having followed Song Yansheng for three years, when had he ever seen Song Yansheng with women?

Yet he thought, could it be that Song Yansheng wanted to let loose a bit before returning to the country?

Therefore, he asked no questions, planning to head outside to call, and possibly just as he reached the door, Song Yansheng spoke again, saying, "Tell the boss, they should be Asian..."

Chi Rui turned his head to glance at Song Yansheng, who, slightly lowering his gaze, casually poured a glass of red wine into his throat.

Chi Rui acknowledged with a "Hmm" and went out.

That day, Chi Rui called for two hostesses. One was Korean, and the other was Sino-Japanese mixed-race.

They had decent looks and figures, and both could speak a bit of Chinese.

The two women, upon seeing two young and handsome men in the room, were understandably excited.

Especially when spotting Song Yansheng, they knew that you couldn’t find an Asian man of such appearance among a million.

Just too handsome.

After greeting, the two women directly approached Song Yansheng.

Chi Rui sat beside them and did not pay much attention, just watching the women walk over to Song Yansheng, sweetly calling him "handsome guy," as they were about to sit down.

However, Song Yansheng raised his hand to stop them, pointing to the two chairs beside him, and said, "Sit over there!"

The two women looked at each other, puzzled, but since it was a guest’s request, they didn’t dare disobey.
