Mr. Xiao, can I borrow your wedding invitation?

Chapter 42 Dinner Party
"Let me introduce you all. This is Ms. Nan, the head of the public relations department of Nan's Company. She came to Baicheng with me to inspect the project!" Xiao Shen introduced her.

"Fourth Master really knows how to pick! He's chosen such a beautiful woman to accompany him. Ah, these days, there are so few girls as beautiful and capable as Miss Nan. Miss Nan, would you be interested in joining our Huarui? I'll give you a raise!"

The speaker was a slightly overweight man with a thick beard. His eyes were fixed on Nan Wu, his ulterior motives written all over his face.

Nan Wu responded with an official smile, "You flatter me. I'll definitely consider it when the opportunity arises!"

In business, you shouldn't offend anyone, because you never know who might need your help someday. So, you must never cut off your own escape route.

Nan Wu didn't understand why Xiao Shen wanted to bring her along when he was discussing business with them, because she couldn't get a word in edgewise.

So she simply listened quietly, enjoying the food, and only answered questions when asked.

She didn't know what Xiao Shen's plans were next. She couldn't waste all these days on work, so she had to find a way to get away and go see Su Wen.

Xiao Shen is very vigilant; if things are too obvious, he will easily become suspicious, which is a real headache for Nan Wu.

Everyone took turns toasting Xiao Shen, each hoping to curry favor with this business tycoon.

Xiao Shen wasn't a big drinker, but he still took a sip as a gesture of respect.

Suddenly, a full glass of wine appeared in her vision. Nanwu turned her head and saw a face covered with a thick beard.

"Miss Nan, would you do me the honor of having a drink?"

Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Nanwu didn't want to embarrass the other party, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.

Before she could even take it, the other person dropped it, and the cup hit her thigh. The deep red liquid soaked the fabric of her chest, quickly revealing her beautiful lace back underneath.

Nan Wu was caught off guard and stood there stunned.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, Miss Nan. Look how clumsy I am. Here, let me wipe it for you!"

The bearded man feigned guilt, his hand, holding a tissue, already reaching towards her.

Nan Wu wanted to slap him to death, but said, "No need, I'll do it myself!"

"How can that be? This is my responsibility, and I have to see it through to the end. Miss Nan, please don't stand on ceremony!"

Bang!
A loud crash was heard; someone had broken a glass.

Suddenly, the private room fell silent.

Xiao Shen raised his hand, "Sorry, I've disturbed your fun!"

His gaze swept over the bearded man. "Mr. Zhang, did you get your clothes dirty?"

The bearded man, suddenly called out, trembled and replied with a forced smile, "It's nothing, thank you for your concern, Fourth Master!"

"That's good. Miss Nan is new to the workplace and doesn't know the rules. I hope Mr. Zhang will be understanding!"

"That's nature, that's nature!"

He was saying polite things, but his eyes looked like he wanted to devour someone. The bearded man broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't figure out what this big shot was thinking.

If you say he's being sarcastic, it doesn't sound like it; if you say he's being sincere, his eyes are so creepy.

Nan Wu was struggling with the stubborn wine stain when a waiter came in and considerately offered her a work uniform to borrow.

Nan Wu found it strange; she didn't seem to have asked the waiter for it, did she?
After this little incident, the bearded man became much more obedient.

As the dinner was drawing to a close, Nan Wu received a phone call. The caller ID showed it was Lao Qian. She held the phone between her shoulder and cheek, washing her hands as she spoke.

Old Qian asked her about the progress in Baicheng and whether she needed him to come and help her.

Nan Wu joked, "You'd have to pay extra if you came, so I'll just do it myself!"

Putting her phone away, she gave her reflection a victory fist pump. "Go, Su Ying will definitely find Su Wen!"

"Oh! Miss Nan, what a coincidence that we meet!"

Nan Wu sneered inwardly, "You old lecher, keep pretending."

She forced a smile. "Excuse me, Mr. Zhang, could you please move aside? I need to go back to my room!"

"Don't worry, Miss Nan. There's a newly opened foot massage parlor nearby. I'll treat you to a meal later."

Nan Wu smiled again, "I appreciate the thought, but there's no need!"

The bearded man grabbed her shoulders, preventing her from leaving. His fleshy face, no longer displaying the politeness and warmth of before, said, "Miss Nan, you're being ungrateful. If you can accompany Fourth Master, why can't you accompany me? Accompanying one is the same as accompanying two. Who knows, I might even be able to collaborate with your Nan Group in the future. What do you think the company sent you, a woman, for? Just to sleep with men? Maybe you've already been slept with to death. What are you pretending to be, a pure and innocent single woman? People like you are probably not even as useful as the girls at the club. It's your honor that I've taken a liking to you!"

He wasn't exaggerating. In the business world, it's not uncommon for people to use business deals as a pretext to send women to others. Otherwise, Nan Dongxue wouldn't have let Nan Wu send his own lover into Xiao Shen's arms.

Nan Wu brushed his paw away, disdainfully dusting off the parts he hadn't touched. Since this man was shameless, she didn't need to give him anything.

"Mr. Zhang is really arrogant. You dare to compare yourself to Fourth Master? Even if you don't have urine in your bladder, you must have bottled water at home. Please go back and look in the mirror. It's bad enough that you're ugly, but you're also so fat, tsk tsk..."

Mr. Zhang was already furious and embarrassed. "What do you want to say?"

A disdainful gaze swept over him from head to toe, finally settling on his crotch. Nan Wu chuckled, "Don't you know, Mr. Zhang? Fat men's things are especially short. I was afraid you wouldn't find pleasure, and you'd blame Miss for not being good enough!" "You!" Mr. Zhang's expression snapped. "Damn it, didn't you say mine was short? Today I'll let you experience just how short it really is!"

Nan Wu was thrown back by him and almost hit her face in the pool.

Mr. Zhang's obese body immediately pressed down on her, his bear-like paws groping her body, and it looked like her underwear was about to be torn off.

Nanwu suddenly bent her knee and thrust it forward.

"Ow!"

With a scream, Mr. Zhang, his face contorted in pain, clutched his groin and spun around in circles.

Nan Wu pushed him away forcefully and ran away.

"You bitch, stop right there!"

At the bend, Nanwu couldn't stop and crashed straight into a wall of flesh.

The pain in her nose brought tears to her eyes.

She looked up and was stunned for a moment, "Fourth Master?"

"Are you being reckless? Have you seen a ghost?" Xiao Shen's gaze fell on her collar, which had obviously been ripped open, and under the light, there were several scratch marks on her collarbone.

It wasn't there when we were in the private room.

The man's pupils contracted, and his aura suddenly turned icy.

"what happened?"

"Fourth Master, I..."

"Hmph, run? Let's see where you run this time..." Boss Zhang cursed as he chased after her, but when he saw the tall man behind Nan Wu, his arrogance vanished instantly. "Fourth Master, I..."

His eyes darted around quickly. "I was just joking with Miss Nan. You see, she accidentally stepped on my foot just now. I told her it was nothing, but she kept apologizing and even came to get medicine. It's really unnecessary!"

After saying that, he even pretended to call out to Nan Wu, "Miss Nan, don't be afraid, I'm a very easy person to talk to, this little injury is nothing! Just be more careful in the future!"

Nan Wu opened her mouth, but hesitated to speak.
