Seeing that Zhou Yi was so interested in her, Director Jiang still hoped that she would help him greet Zhou Yi well, so he didn鈥檛 dare to directly break all relations with her. He could only smile and hold her hand, letting her sit between him and Zhou Yi, and said: "Little darling, big brother was afraid that this little brat wouldn鈥檛 be able to get you, so I said a few harsh words to scare him. "Let me tell you, I don鈥檛 have any other intentions today. This friend of mine, where鈥檚 Young Master Zhou? He thinks you鈥檙e too close to him, so he wants to drink with you. You won鈥檛 refuse, right?"
Hearing his words, Big Sis Xin turned to look at Zhou Yi beside her, "I am indebted to young master Zhou for his kindness, so naturally I will not reject." I wonder what kind of wine Young Master Zhou would like to drink? Beer or wine? "
"Xin jie, you don鈥檛 understand. Young Master Zhou likes strong alcohol, the stronger the better. Right, Young Master Zhou? " Director Jiang looked at Zhou Yi with a fawning expression.
"Open the wine." Zhou Yi coldly looked at his big sister and ordered.
At this point, Director Jiang stood up and opened a bottle of whisky on the table. He poured three glasses and placed them in front of the two of them.
Jiang Zhixin looked at the wine in the glass. Fortunately, she was not dissatisfied with the wine. She was about to raise her glass when she heard Zhou Yi鈥檚 lazy voice, "Didn鈥檛 you say you could drink? It鈥檚 boring to drink too much from a glass. "
"What do you mean, young master Zhou?" Jiang Zhixin鈥檚 eyes flickered slightly as she raised her eyebrows and looked at him.
"I鈥檝e heard Director Jiang say that your alcohol capacity is very good, I would really like to see for myself today." As Zhou Yi said this, he beckoned to the man sitting next to him: "I have a little brother here who has a pretty good alcohol tolerance. How about you two compare?"
Looking at the way he was looking at her, it was obvious that there was still some lingering resentment. She knew that she had fallen into his hands today, and if she wanted to hide, it would be impossible. She could only bite the bullet and say, "Since Young Master Zhou said that he wants to compete, I wonder if there鈥檚 any winnings?"
"The wager?" Zhou Yi coldly snorted, his eyes and tone full of disdain, "You seem to have a lot of confidence in yourself."
"When people do something, they have to look forward to it or else how can they improve their combat abilities?" As Jiang Zhixin said, she purposely said, "Young Master Zhou would not be so stingy, not even willing to give us any rewards. Just let the two of us drink."
"Big Sister Xin, what are you saying? Is young master Zhou that kind of person? So, you want the wager, don鈥檛 you? I鈥檓 out for this bet, I鈥檒l get 10,000 yuan, whoever drinks it will get the 10,000 yuan, what do you think? " Director Jiang was afraid that Jiang Zhixin鈥檚 words would anger Zhou Yi, so he immediately replied.
"I don鈥檛 have any problems with that, but Director Jiang, this mister here is one of Young Master Zhou鈥檚 people after all, you鈥檙e only paying 10,000 yuan, would he take you seriously?" Jiang Zhixin鈥檚 tone was extremely coquettish, yet the words she spoke were suffocating.
Hearing this, Director Jiang鈥檚 face stiffened. He knew that ten thousand yuan wasn鈥檛 a small sum for Jiang Zhixin.
But for the people around Zhou Yi, it was indeed a bit too little.
Having been pointed out like this by Jiang Zhixin, he could not help but blush a little.
"My people naturally do not put these 10,000 credits in their eyes. His goal is to drink with you, it doesn鈥檛 matter if he has the prize money or not. You don鈥檛 have to worry about him. " As Zhou Yi spoke, he gave a meaningful glance to the man beside him.
Seeing this, the man picked up another bottle of whisky from the table, opened it and blew on it.
Jiang Zhixin had never drunk with someone like this before. Even though there were a lot of drinks in the dark of the night, this kind of strong liquor was simply too dangerous to drink directly from a bottle. She was a bit scared, but seeing Zhou Yi鈥檚 expression as if he was watching a good show, she did not want to show any weakness in front of him. She only needed to grit her teeth and directly picked up the bottle of liquor Director Jiang had just opened, then raised her head and started drinking.
The strong alcohol flowed down her throat and into her esophagus. She felt a burning sensation in her chest, as if her entire body was about to be submerged by alcohol.
Zhou Yi sat quietly to the side, silently watching her look in pain as she poured a whole bottle of wine into his stomach. At this time, Director Jiang put his head close to her and said: "Young Master Zhou, I told you about the matter I mentioned to you earlier, my niece really likes acting, and she鈥檚 also very talented in acting. My brother-in-law also said that as long as you agree to let her act as the female lead in this company, we don鈥檛 need to pay anything and can even bring our money into the team. "As long as you give me a chance ..."
Hearing this, Zhou Yi lightly raised his brows, "So the reason you asked me to come here today was to seduce your niece." "If so, why didn鈥檛 you bring your niece here?"
"Young Master Zhou, this ... To tell you the truth, that niece of mine has always been a strict tutor since childhood, and she was very simple and would not encounter any problems. I鈥檓 afraid that she might not be able to adapt to this kind of situation, and if it makes you unhappy, that鈥檚 why I didn鈥檛 bring her along. " Director Jiang smiled apologetically.
"You can鈥檛 get used to this kind of occasion, so the water in the entertainment circle is even deeper than here. Are you sure your niece can handle it?"
"Don鈥檛 worry about this, as long as you agree to let her act as the female lead, I guarantee that she will fulfill all of your requests." Hearing his words, Director Jiang immediately patted his chest and said.
The corner of Zhou Yi鈥檚 mouth curled up slightly. He pointed at Jiang Zhixin, who was desperately drinking, and asked, "Can your niece be like her?"
"This ..." Director Jiang鈥檚 expression twitched slightly as he did not dare to continue the conversation.
"There鈥檚 no need to think about the female lead. I already have a choice in mind, but for your sake, I can consider giving her the female lead." Let her go straight to the director tomorrow with my card. " Zhou Yi patted Director Jiang鈥檚 shoulder and said.
When Director Jiang heard this, he immediately beamed with joy. "Really? That鈥檚 great. Young Master Zhou, then I鈥檒l thank you on behalf of my niece. "
When the two of them had settled the matter, Jiang Zhixin had already finished her wine.
Almost half a minute before the young man put down the bottle, her face was completely red.
With a hint of drunkenness, she looked at Zhou Yi: "Young Master Zhou, I鈥檝e won."
"It鈥檚 good that you won, it鈥檚 good that you won. Come, come, come. This is the ten thousand yuan that I gave you. Keep it." As Director Jiang spoke, he took out a stack of bills from his bag and stuffed it into Jiang Zhixin鈥檚 hands.
Jiang Zhixin received the money and a bright smile appeared on her face. She stood up slowly and threw Director Jiang a coquettish look, "Director Jiang, thank you for giving me a chance to earn some money."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.
But as soon as she moved, her hand was seized by a strong wrist, and when she looked back, she was looking into his cold eyes. "What does that mean, Mr. Zhou? It can鈥檛 be that you can鈥檛 afford to let me go, right? "
"You haven鈥檛 even had a drink with me, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" Zhou Yi said in a somewhat sinister tone.
Seeing that he seemed unwilling to give up, Jiang Zhixin exerted a little strength and pulled away from his wrist, saying, "I鈥檝e already drunk a bottle of wine with your friend just now. Isn鈥檛 it a little late for Mr. Zhou to say that she wants to drink with me?"
"Is it too late?" As Zhou Yi said this, he took out a bank card from his pocket, "Isn鈥檛 drinking with others for the purpose of earning money? This card has 200,000 yuan in it, 100,000 yuan per bottle. Drink the two bottles of whiskey on the table, and the money will be yours. "
Jiang Zhixin looked at the bank card in his hand, then looked at the two unopened bottles of whisky on the table. She knew that Zhou Yi wasn鈥檛 going to let her off tonight.
Did he hate her that much?
At that time, he had clearly given up on her from the bottom of his heart before she mistakenly went down the wrong path.
Even though they hadn鈥檛 separated at that time, and she had indeed bewitched him into betraying him. But in the end, it was all because of his indecision and his family鈥檚 fear of offending the Su Clan that she did not dare to fulfill the engagement, causing her to waver.
Now, what qualifications did he have to cause trouble for her?
She didn鈥檛 owe him anything.
"A prince loves money, it is reasonable to take it. Although I like money a lot, but I value my life even more. Young Master Zhou, this money, I鈥檓 afraid that even if I live to earn it, I will not live to spend it. " Jiang Zhixin did not plan to continue tangling with him here. After she said these words, she left without looking back.
Zhou Yi didn鈥檛 expect that she would refuse him so decisively. He felt very unhappy in his heart, and raised his foot to chase after her.
Right at this moment, the door to the private box was pushed open from the outside. A waiter walked in and upon seeing Jiang Zhixin, he immediately said to her, "Big Sister Xin, there鈥檚 a mister looking for you outside."
"Sir? "What mister?" Jiang Zhixin curiously asked as she walked out.
"I don鈥檛 know either. He looks unfamiliar. He only said that he saw you tonight." the waiter replied.
At this moment, Jiang Zhixin only felt that under the effects of alcohol, her head felt a little swollen, and her steps also became faltering, as if she was stepping on cotton.
"Take him to the office. I鈥檒l wait for him there." She turned around and supported herself on the wall to the office.
After entering the office, she rushed into the bathroom to vomit. She spat out the bottle of whisky she had just drunk along with the dinner she had eaten. She almost vomited out the bile.
He rinsed his mouth and washed his face. Then, he took off the sticky and dense makeup on his face and revealed his original delicate and pretty face.
She went back to her office and sat on the sofa. She picked up her thermos and drank some hot water while resting.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door and walked in.
"Miss Jiang, it really is you." The person walked over to stand in front of her. His eyes were high and his tone did not seem surprised at all.
Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Jiang Zhixin immediately raised her head and looked at the man in front of her. She pointed at him with slight astonishment, "Assistant Qiu? Didn鈥檛 you already leave? Why is he back? I鈥檝e told you everything I know, and I don鈥檛 know what else you want to ask. "
"Did you drink a lot?" Seeing her blushing red face, her hazy eyes, and the smell of alcohol assaulting his nose while he was speaking, Qiu Zhu frowned and said.
