“There’s no need for the trouble, Brother Feng.” Yin Tao knew that Feng Jing also had a lot of work at the police station, so she was a little embarrassed to take up his rest time. “I’ll take a taxi back later. I’ll be fine.”
“I’m near the Wan Corporation now. Send me the location. It’s too late. It’s not safe for you to be alone.” Feng Jing’s tone was very serious, and he didn’t give Yin Tao any option to refuse.
Yin Tao could only do as she was told. After ending the call, she sent her location to Feng Jing. She then went back to the private room after she used the washroom.
Jiang Xing and Liu Li had drunk quite a bit, and at this moment, they were already a little drunk. When they saw Yin Tao enter, Jiang Xing happily waved at her, wanting Yin Tao to sit beside him, but he was flatly ignored.
Jiang Xing looked at Yin Tao, who was sitting beside Liu Li, in defeat. He felt that this girl was deliberately antagonizing him.
“Young Master Jiang is also young and promising. There will be many opportunities for us to work together in the future. I’ll have to rely on Young Master Jiang to take care of me.” Liu Li was very good at reading people from their body language. He could tell what kind of person Jiang Xing was.
“Alright, Vice President Liu is a righteous person and is straightforward in his work. I won’t have to worry if I work with you.” Jiang Xing and Liu Li chatted happily. The two of them hit it off on many ideas. They didn’t waste the night. They had already made good progress on their collaboration.
In the end, Jiang Xing and Liu Li were helped out by their assistants. Yin Tao stood behind Liu Li. With Zhou Hui and the chauffeur around, she couldn’t help much.
Liu Li watched as Jiang Xing’s chauffeur and assistant helped him into his car. He waved enthusiastically at the car as it slowly pulled away with Jiang Xing inside. Only when the car completely disappeared from the entrance of the clubhouse did Liu Li slowly lower his arm.
‘Xiaojiang, get in the car. Let the chauffeur send you home first,” Liu Li said naturally to Yin Tao, appearing totally sober.
“Vice President Liu?” Yin Tao was surprised by Liu Li’s change. He had clearly drank a lot of wine, but he looked fine now.
Liu Li looked at Yin Tao’s puzzled gaze and couldn’t help but smile. He explained to her, “I took some hangover medicine before I came, and I did avoid quite a lot of alcohol just now.”
Yin Tao felt that compared to Liu Li, Jiang Xing was like a kindergarten kid meeting a PHD student. The two of them were on completely different levels.
“Consider today as an advance lesson in getting used to such business entertainment.” Liu Li was initially very worried about involving Yin Tao, but fortunately, Jiang Xing didn’t go overboard. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t know how to answer to Feng Jing.
“Miss Jiang, you have to remember to stay sober at all times. It’s the most important thing when you ‘re dealing with people.” Liu Li felt that although Yin Tao was young, she managed to keep her composure in the face of trouble. Putting aside Feng Jing’s relationship, Liu Li was actually willing to mentor Yin Tao at work.
“Let’s go. Tell the chauffeur your address and I’ll send you home first.” Liu Li opened the car door and gestured for Yin Tao to get in first.
“No need, Brother Liu.” Yin Tao noticed Zhou Hui beside Liu Li and moved closer to him. She whispered into Liu Li’s ear, “Brother Feng will pick me up. You can go back first.”
When Liu Li heard Yin Tao’s words, he smiled naturally and reminded her to be careful before getting into the car and leaving alone.
Zhou Hui noticed Liu Li and Yin Tao’s interactions just now. The dissatisfaction on her face was obvious. This woman was really not simple. She actually had a suspicious relationship with Jiang Xing.
Liu Li, who was sitting in the back of the car, rubbed his swollen temples and glanced at Zhou Hui, who was sitting in the passenger seat. He questioned calmly, “What exactly happened today? Didn’t I ask you to get someone else to come over? Why did you call Jiang Tao in the end?’
Zhou Hui cleared her throat awkwardly and explained to Liu Li, who was in the back row, “1 happened to meet Miss Jiang on the way. She also wanted to get to know more elites in the business world. I felt that her image was better in the secretarial department, so I asked her to go.”
Liu Li knew Zhou Hui very well. She was very capable at work and had never made any mistakes in all these years. She had obviously called Yin Tao over on purpose.
“Xiao Zhou, the most basic duty of a secretary is to follow her boss’s instructions. I don’t want you to mix your personal emotions with your work. Take good care of Jiang Tao in the future. She’s not someone you can afford to offend.”
This was the first time Liu Li had spoken so harshly to her. Zhou Hui could only nod apologetically while hating that woman even more in her heart..
