After the Harem Novel’s Female Lead was Spoiled by the Comments - Chapter 26
Yan Qingwen actually was not especially concerned about why Wen Hebai had gone to a bar. However, considering that they were currently being watched by someone, for the sake of ensuring Wen Hebai’s safety, it would be better to contact her and ask about the situation.
At this moment, in K City, inside Yiqi Bar.
Wen Hebai found Su Jinyue drunk in a booth on the second floor. She was tugging on Jiang Yunhan, trying to kiss his face. Wen Hebai grabbed her by the collar and pulled her back.
“Who is it?!” Su Jinyue shouted. “Do you know who I am?”
“Who are you?” Wen Hebai asked.
“I’m Su—” Su Jinyue turned her head. By the light shining down from the spotlight above, she saw clearly the face of the person standing behind her. She instantly sobered up by thirty percent. “S-Sister Bai?!”
“Don’t. You’re the sister here, Sister Yue.” Wen Hebai teased.
Su Jinyue sobered up a little more and obediently sat properly. “Sister Bai, why are you here?”
Wen Hebai’s gaze swept over Jiang Yunhan, who was curled up inside the booth looking as if he were determined to defend his chastity to the death, then returned to Su Jinyue’s face. “I should be the one asking you that. What were you trying to do just now?”
Su Jinyue rubbed her dizzy head. The impulsive thing she had done while drunk immediately surged into her mind.
She covered her face.
She was doomed. She had actually tried to kiss Jiang Yunhan just now?!
“I accidentally drank alcohol, and my head immediately got dizzy. I didn’t know…” Su Jinyue stammered out an explanation.
This matter had to start with why she had come to the bar.
Because she had still not closed any deals, she had become the bottom ranker in her team. For the sake of the whole group’s year-end bonus, the team leader assigned a colleague to guide her.
After getting off work and eating dinner, that colleague brought her here.
“What are we doing at a bar?” Su Jinyue asked.
Her colleague smiled mysteriously. “I asked around. Rich second-generation heirs often come here. If we can build connections with them, we won’t have to worry about not closing deals!”
Yiqi Bar was located in the golden district of the busiest commercial street in the city center. It was said that the owner had official backing. At the same time, the bar also placed great importance on customer privacy and safety. Before entering, one had to undergo a security check. Not only were prohibited items banned, but even electronic products had to be stored in lockers outside.
This eliminated more than ninety-five percent of secret filming, so K City’s wealthy families, celebrities from all walks of life, and rich second-generation heirs all liked coming here to have fun. They would even book the entire venue for parties.
Su Jinyue: “…”
She wanted to run.
If an acquaintance saw her selling insurance here, where would she put her face?!
Fortunately, it was still early, and there were not that many people in the bar yet.
At that moment, she saw Zhuang Yi drinking alone at the bar.
Wen Hebai and Yan Qingwen’s warnings were still echoing in her ears, but the troubled look on his face truly made her curious. So she went over and asked, “Were you following me?”
Zhuang Yi’s expression stiffened, and he pretended to look at her in confusion. “You are…”
Seeing that he did not recognize her, Su Jinyue could not help breathing a sigh of relief. It seemed he had not come for her.
“Oh, I remember. You were a customer at Auris Restaurant,” Zhuang Yi said.
“That’s me. Are you off work? Otherwise, why aren’t you working at the restaurant during dinner time and are instead here drinking?”
A pained expression appeared on Zhuang Yi’s face. Then he told Su Jinyue how he had not obtained Wen Hebai’s forgiveness and had been miserably fired by the restaurant.
Su Jinyue spoke up for him. “How could they only fire you? They should fire the managers and the servers who were working that day too! Don’t worry. I’ll help you file a complaint against them so they can all lose their jobs with you.”
Zhuang Yi: “…”
Wasn’t the point supposed to be that Wen Hebai was petty and refused to forgive him? Also, shouldn’t she want to help him seek justice?
After realizing that it would be difficult to sow discord between Su Jinyue and Wen Hebai, Zhuang Yi changed tactics. Pretending to be sorrowful, he said, “What use would filing a complaint have? They all have backers. What can an ordinary person like me use to compare with them?”
Hmph. Once he took everything back, he would definitely make the Li family behind that restaurant go bankrupt in order to vent the hatred in his heart!
After being educated by Wen Hebai and Yan Qingwen, Su Jinyue had at least become a bit more cautious. She patted Zhuang Yi’s shoulder and comforted him. “It’s fine. There are so many restaurants in K City. Places are hiring servers every day. You still have plenty of job opportunities.”
Zhuang Yi was already starting to go mad inside.
What was wrong with this woman? Was this how one comforted people? Could she not use the Su family’s power and arrange for him to enter the Su family company?!
He had clearly forgotten that the current Su Jinyue was merely a corporate slave worrying over sales. She had not closed even a single deal herself, so how could she have the face to ask her father to open the back door and arrange for someone else to enter her family’s company?
Zhuang Yi sighed deeply, a strange light flashing in his eyes. “Let’s not talk about that. I’ll treat you to a drink.”
Su Jinyue had not come here to drink. She took out an insurance leaflet and asked mysteriously, “Do you want to buy insurance? Look, you’re unemployed now. If you get seriously ill or something unexpected happens, the huge medical fees might empty out your family fortune. But if you buy our insurance, you’ll be worry-free…”
A mouthful of blood stuck in Zhuang Yi’s chest, and he nearly spat it out.
Was there something wrong with Su Jinyue? He was already this miserable, yet she was only thinking about squeezing the last bit of value out of him!
Su Jinyue was getting into the best part of her insurance pitch when she unexpectedly saw Jiang Yunhan appear in a booth on the second floor. The moment he saw her, his inner voice was practically like a loudspeaker, nearly blowing the top of her skull off.
【Damn, are the Dragon King male lead and Female Lead No. 2 on a date?!】
【Wait, bar, date… Has this plot finally arrived? The Dragon King male lead tricks Female Lead No. 2, whose alcohol tolerance is extremely poor, into drinking. Love-brained Female Lead No. 2 has no guard up at all and drinks strong liquor. Then the Dragon King male lead takes advantage of Female Lead No. 2 while she’s drunk and sleeps with her. After Female Lead No. 2 wakes up, although she knows the Dragon King male lead is the Yan family’s live-in son-in-law, she has lost herself to him and greatly admires him, so she becomes his secret lover.】
【I didn’t expect that although the plot related to Yan Qingwen has changed, the plot with Female Lead No. 2 would still happen as usual. I’d better pretend I didn’t see anything. Otherwise, I might fail to save the beauty and lose my life instead.】
Su Jinyue abruptly raised her head and looked at Jiang Yunhan, waves surging in her heart.
What did he mean? She would lose herself to Zhuang Yi?
