Chapter 141: Drunk, she came to pick him up

  Xiao Qian rushed to the restaurant when it was almost 11 o'clock. He was physically and mentally exhausted, having had a busy day that was even more tiring than working in the office. Before, he hadn't felt it, but now that he was at the restaurant, he could feel waves of pain all over his body.

  He got off the car and casually threw the key to the doorman, then walked into the restaurant.

  As he entered the door, the waiter by the door seemed to glance at Xiao Qian in surprise. He lowered his head and looked down, only to realize that he hadn't changed clothes and had come wearing sportswear.

  He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and cursed inwardly, blaming that damned Gu Yu.

  As soon as he entered the door, he saw Lu Qinghuan standing inside with a worried face. When she saw Xiao Qian, her eyes lit up and she ran over in a few steps.

  Lu Qinghuan sized up Xiao Qian, who was dressed in black and looked as if he was exuding a cold aura all over his body, yet was handsome enough to make people unable to resist.

  That handsome face, with raised eyebrows and a hint of mischief, seemed to seep out from the bottom of those dark eyes.

  Xiao Qian was not a gentleman to begin with, and he didn't bother to pretend to be one. At his young age, he had already achieved so much, relying on his own abilities. As a result, those eyes that seemed unworldly always held a hint of arrogance and an air of invincibility.

  It was Xiao Qian who strode over with big steps, making Lu Qinghuan feel a moment of astonishment.

  "Xiao Qian, you've finally come..." Her face was full of grievance, furrowing her brow in great displeasure.

  Xiao Qian let out a sigh and looked at the closed door, "Where's Director Qi?"

  "Come inside, I'll come out and pick you up."

  "Oh." Xiao Qian raised an eyebrow, seemingly pondering something in his mind.

  Looking at Xiao Qian's deep expression, Lu Qinghuan felt very distressed and apologetic. "Sorry, Xiao Qian, it's so late to have you come over."

  As she spoke, Lu Qinghuan's small face drooped down, her hair hanging down, almost covering up that distressed face, making the onlooker's heart soften.

  Xiao Qian let out a sigh, this matter was also something he had dragged Lü Qinghuan into, which was why she couldn't get away from it.

  In order to find out who was the mastermind behind setting up an offshore company, Xiao Qian knew that Qi Zhi Guo couldn't be offended, but because of this sacrifice of Qing Huan, it was absolutely not what he wanted to see.

  He knew he had to come.

  Otherwise, to say nothing of other things, Qing Huan really angered Qi Zhi Guo in a fit of rage and quarreled with him. This line that was finally established with great difficulty is likely to be completely broken off.

  Xiao Qian looked at Lu Qinghuan, "Qinghuan, it's not your problem, I was the one who let you provoke him first. If it weren't for my sake, you wouldn't be in such a difficult situation."

  Lu Qinghuan shook her head, looking at him deeply and said faintly, "I'm happy to be able to help you, but... Qi Zhi Guo makes me feel a little scared..."

  "Don't worry, I'm here, he won't dare to bully you." Xiao Qian said with a smile, and then went to open the door of the private room.

  Qizhi Guo sat at the innermost seat, a table full of dishes, seemingly untouched, only an additional empty wine bottle on the table.

  When he drank a little, his face turned red and radiant, and the slightly chubby man looked even more plump.

  As soon as Xiao Qian came in, he raised his hand and said, "Ah, Director Xiao, please come in and take a seat."

  Xiao Qian smiled and sat down, looking at Qi Zhi Guo, and said with a smile, "Director Qi is in high spirits."

  "Anyway, it's also a pleasure to be poor and have no great ambitions. When you have time, you just want to enjoy yourself, drink some wine, eat some good food." He raised his eyes to look at Xiao Qian and asked, "By the way, about the pharmaceutical factory, what did General Xiao say was the problem?"

  Xiao Qian's face was calm and peaceful, but his heart was turbulent.

  Just now was a moment of urgency, casually made up a proper reason, nowadays it's easy to tell lies, but covering up the lie is not that easy.

  Xiao Qian chuckled and said, "Yes... that's not it. The pharmaceutical factory's matter is settled, my big brother agreed, but the procedures are a bit troublesome, some places... need to grease palms."

  Zi heard that the country is one, and in his heart, he also understood that now everything requires money to open the way.

  He is not short of money and he is willing as long as it's within his acceptable range.

  "Director Xiao said this, it's also reasonable, whatever arrangement, I'll listen to Director Xiao."

  Xiao Qian said, "No need to be polite, Director Qi doesn't have to spend money on this. If it were me, I would also come to ask Director Qi for such a small amount of money, that wouldn't be looking down on Director Qi."

  "Absolutely not," said Zhi, "Mr. Xiao is willing to help, I'm already grateful, how can we let Mr. Xiao spend more money? I'll take care of this myself, no need for Mr. Xiao to spend a dime."

  "This is Zhi looking down on Xiao now."

  Xiao Qian said solemnly here.

  Two people faced each other over money issues and pushed back and forth several times.

  It doesn't matter who pays in the end, it's not worth their fuss over a hundred or so million. However, Xiao Qian told a lie and smoothed things over. Qi Zhi Guo was extremely grateful to Xiao Qian and even said that he had come all the way here in the middle of the night just for this matter, Director Xiao really went out of his way for this.

  Xiao Qianwei smiled slightly, leaning against the side, picked up his wine cup, took a sip of wine, and heard Qi Zhiguo beside him, with a slightly drunken eye, looking at Xiao Qian, "Why didn't Madam Xiao come today?"

  "When big shots discuss things, they always make women follow along, what's that supposed to be?" Xiao Qian said with a smile.

  "Frankly speaking, Mr. Xiao indeed has a profound blessing, Mrs. Xiao is stunningly beautiful, making it hard for people to forget her at first sight."

  Xiao Qian paused for a moment, the wine cup at his lips seemed to slow down and stop, then he tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. "It's hard to raise women and petty men, they look fine but actually... are really difficult to raise."

  Not to mention, Gu Yan was not an ordinary woman, she was a combination of a villain and a woman.

  He left in a daze after drinking.

  Lu Qinghuan looked at Xiao Qian and said, "Are you drunk? If you can't drive, I'll find a car to send you back?"

  Xiao Qian waved his hand, "It's okay, no need, I'm fine, don't bother sending me off, I'll just find a car myself later."

  Still thinking of Gu Yu, Gu Yu, Gu Yu is still at the hotel, he has to go find her.

  Lu Qinghuan hurried over to welcome him, supporting Xiao Qian who was stumbling and staggering. "No way, I'll take you back, you're really drunk."

  "I said no need." Xiao Qian exerted a bit of force with his hand, and Lu Qinghuan was thrown to the ground.

  She stood on the ground as if she had been stunned for a long time, looking at Xiao Qian who was standing there in an unbelievable manner.

  Xiao Qian furrowed his brow and looked down at Lu Qinghuan.

  Has he gone mad? Why is he still hitting Qing Huan?

  He patted his forehead and apologized in a low voice, "Sorry, Qing Huan, I was a bit too forceful."

  Lu Qinghuan hurriedly supported herself on the ground and sat up, "Xiao Qian, it's okay, I'm fine, I know you're drunk."

  Xiao Qian nodded, "Yes, isn't it? Got drunk, sorry."

  "If you don't want me to send you, I can hail a taxi for you?"

  Xiao Qian shook his head and said, "No need, I'll just call the driver." He said, already picking up his phone and dialing a number, "I'm outside Bei Ming restaurant, I've had a drink, come pick me up."

  Lu Qing let out a sigh of relief and stood there, but felt a sharp pain in her palm...

  Gu Yinan held the phone and shouted strangely into it, "You asked me to pick you up? Xiao Qian, are you kidding me...?"

  Gu Yu was already in bed, listening to Xiao Qian's voice on the phone buzzing, sometimes far and sometimes near, don't know what he was doing.

  She grasped the phone, stunned for a moment before realizing that he was drunk.

  Damn it, got drunk and didn't call a taxi driver, what's the point of calling her.

  Is she also working as his driver?

  Can he afford her?

  Covered with a big quilt on the couch, she just wanted to continue sleeping and didn't care about him anymore.

  However, after lying down, she turned over, her eyes wide open, and couldn't close them again.

  Xiao Qian listened to the drunkard's words without taking them lightly.

  He might have meant to call the driver but ended up calling her instead.

  If he doesn't go, he'll probably pass out somewhere outside.

  In B city's weather, being drunk and sleeping outside for a night would leave you half dead.

  With a thud, Gu Yan still got up.

  She grabbed her phone from the bedside table and muttered to herself.

  "Xiao Qian, don't let me catch you off guard, getting drunk and making me go pick you up, you're shameless..."

  Gu Yu wore only a simple sportswear, it was windy outside, she had her hands in her pockets and walked forward shivering.

  At this time in B City, the wind was strong enough to blow through clothes and penetrate into the bone marrow. Especially when she had just crawled out of her warm bed, she felt cold all over.

  They soon arrived at the Beiming Restaurant, and Gu Yu stumbled into the restaurant, pulled a waiter and asked, "Where is Xiao Qian?"

  "Huh? Xiao Zong? Didn't you leave earlier?"

  He's gone

  Gu Yu furrowed her brow and stood there, unsure of what to say.

  At this time, however, a voice suddenly came from behind, "Eh, Mrs. Xiao, how did you end up here."

  Gu Yan turned around and saw Qi Zhi Guo's greasy body swaying as he walked over.

  Gu Xi was taken aback and forced a faint smile, "Director Qi, I'm here to pick up Xiao Qian."
