A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

Fang Zhiyuan adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, which were about to slip off.

Then, he glanced at Li Xixue sitting there.

A familiar face appeared in his mind.

They eventually overlapped.

That's right!

It's her!

When he was discussing financing with Xueyu Investment Department, one page of the materials they sent him contained the company structure, and her name was at the very top.

This small banquet has attracted such a big shot.

That damn Zhang Ran didn't say anything either.

Otherwise, he would never dare to be so presumptuous.

Thinking of this.

Fang Zhiyuan's hands began to tremble.

Thinking about what he had just said, he turned to look at Zhou Qiming.

Zhou Qiming was also looking at him.

The two people looked at each other.

They both saw the same thing in each other's eyes—it's all over.

Just now, those few people were at the table, talking to each other.

That tone.

Aren't we educators?

Who is being educated?

The person being educated is the husband of the president of Xueyu Group.

The Snowland Group invested in all of them.

in other words.

The woman sitting in front of them was their sugar daddy.

wrong.

She's the mother of the sugar daddy.

Fang Zhiyuan adjusted his glasses and took two deep breaths.

"Old Zhou..."

Zhou Qiming didn't speak. He recalled the scene of him toasting Li Xixue just now.

They ignored him.

At the time, he thought this woman was arrogant.

Think about it now.

Do you even deserve it?

You should know that all the people at the table combined didn't even amount to a fraction of her investment.

Wang Lei finally realized what was happening.

He thought the face looked familiar before, and now he finally recognized it.

"I'm lying down..."

His mouth was half open, but he didn't say the last part about the national essence.

Mr. Sun kept his head down and silently drank his soup.

He didn't have a particularly strong reaction, because he had already sensed something was wrong. From the moment Zhang Ran jumped off the table, he knew this woman was not simple.

I just didn't expect it to be so complicated.

The four people sat there, each harboring their own secrets, not daring to utter a sound.

Li Xixue was completely unaware of this.

She leaned back in her chair, drawing circles on the table with her finger.

Her face was flushed, her lips were slightly pouting, and it was unclear what she was thinking.

at this time.

Lu Yang returned carrying a glass of warm water.

He walked over to Li Xixue and placed the water glass in front of her.

"drink."

Li Xixue looked up at him.

"I said I didn't want water."

"What do you want?"

"Alcohol."

"This one won't do, please choose another one."

Li Xixue thought for a moment.

"Then let's go home."

Lu Yang checked the time.

It's only 8:30, and the banquet isn't even halfway over yet.

"Sit a little longer."

"I don't want to sit anymore."

Li Xixue tugged at his sleeve. "The people here are so boring."

He said this in a low voice.

But everyone at the table heard it.

Zhou Qiming's face twitched.

boring?

He instinctively wanted to refute something, but his mouth opened and then closed again.

They're the big spenders.

No, wait, the sugar daddy's mom.

If I say you're boring, then you're boring.

It is indeed quite boring.

Lu Yang sat down and pushed the water glass towards Li Xixue again.

"Have some water first, sober up a bit, then we'll go."

Li Xixue stared at the glass of water for a moment.

She pursed her lips, reached for the water glass, and took a small sip.

Then I put it down.

"Alright, you've drunk it, you can go now."

At this moment, she acted like a child pleading to go home.

This scene left everyone dumbfounded.

They had all heard about the CEO's personality; she was an iceberg-like woman. But why did she seem to be acting coquettishly now?

And she was even flirting with a man.

Why is this different from what I've heard?

Lu Yang didn't notice the gazes of others; he glanced at the water level in his cup.

Almost none less.

"You call that drinking?"

"Um."

Li Xixue nodded carefully.

Lu Yang gave a wry smile and didn't press her any further.

At this moment, Zhou Qiming finally mustered up the courage to speak.

"Um...Mr. Lu."

Lu Yang turned to look at him.

Zhou Qiming's attitude was completely different from before.

The previous didactic tone has disappeared, replaced by a cautious one.

"Please don't take offense if what I just said was offensive."

Fang Zhiyuan chimed in:

"Yes, Mr. Lu, what I said just now was just a casual remark, please don't take it to heart."

Lu Yang was stunned.

Although he didn't know what had happened, he wasn't bothered by it. These people hadn't said anything offensive before; at most, they were just a bit condescending in their attitude.

But Li Xixue didn't think so.

She tilted her head, looked at Zhou Qiming and Fang Zhiyuan, and pursed her lips slightly.

"Weren't you two having quite a chat just now?"

These words were spoken.

Zhou Qiming and Fang Zhiyuan's smiles froze simultaneously.

Li Xixue's eyes were narrowed, and her face was flushed.

She looked harmless, but the words she spoke sent a chill down their spines.

"What? Not chatting anymore?"

Zhou Qiming tensed up for a moment, then quickly picked up his wine glass: "Let's chat, Li..."

He got stuck again.

I don't know what to call you.

Without saying much, he simply brought the glass to his lips, took a swig, and said, "Um... I'll punish myself with three drinks first."

After saying that, he downed three cups in a row.

Fang Zhiyuan also stood up, holding his wine glass: "I will also punish myself."

Wang Lei hesitated for two seconds. Although he didn't know why he was punishing himself, he stood up and said, "I... I'll also drink a cup as punishment."

Lu Yang watched from the side, feeling a little puzzled.

These people were putting on airs just now, how come they suddenly changed?

He didn't think about it too deeply.

Perhaps the drinking had gotten to the point where the atmosphere was right.

"Um...Mr. Lu."

Zhou Qiming finally spoke up again: "I was just thinking about it, and your beverage IP model is quite interesting. I happen to know someone who works in the supply chain there, so if you need any raw materials, we can talk anytime."

Fang Zhiyuan quickly chimed in, "Yes, Mr. Lu, although my business doesn't really involve beverages, we have a wide offline distribution network. If you're planning any collaborations in the future, I have venue resources available."

Wang Lei also chimed in: "Mr. Lu, regarding cross-border e-commerce, if you want to promote your brand overseas in the future, I have ready-made channels here."

Mr. Sun put down his soup spoon, wiped his mouth, and spoke up: "I run a restaurant chain with 120 stores. If you want to bring your beverages to our store, just let me know."

These people had previously been condescendingly lecturing him.

Now people are lining up to offer him olive branches.

Lu Yang frowned.

To be honest, he already knew very well that the reason these people's attitudes had changed was not because of him.

But...

Lu Yang glanced at Li Xixue.

She tilted her head on his shoulder, seemingly completely uninterested in the changes on the table, her fingers still tracing circles on his chest.

Zhou Qiming quickly pulled out a business card from his pocket: "President Lu, this is my card. Please contact me anytime if you need anything."
