Looking back at the people in the private room, the individuals brought by Zhan Bei Jue could not be unrelated.
Madam Gao and Madam Wang were Chen Jiao Jiao's connections, and Chen Jiao Jiao was Lu Ba's connection, so they were naturally not unrelated.
The other two girls standing beside Zhan Bei Jue made it clear they were his people, and even less likely to be unrelated.
So who was it?
It could only be Zhou Jin Bei and Jiang Nan Fang, who were not very involved in this situation.
He looked in this direction, his gaze falling between the two, and then he said such words, clearly signaling for the two to leave.
Zhou Jin Bei never expected him to act this way.
They had just spent a night together a few days ago, and she thought they had reconciled. This...
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the room looked over.
Zhou Jin Bei didn't have time to feel embarrassed for herself, she could only wonder in her heart, "What is Second Brother acting up about again! So hot and cold, I can't figure you out for Sister Nan Fang!"
Jiang Nan Fang was also full of confusion.
Although not many people present knew about their relationship, she was still a woman.
In a public occasion, to be openly driven away...
Jiang Nan Fang instinctively thought of that disgusting news before their divorce, and then looked at the delicate girl beside him...
She was afraid he was about to do something hypocritical and despicable.
If you don't want me to watch, I don't want to watch either. It's dirtying my eyes!
If it weren't for Chen Jiao Jiao, do you think anyone would want to sit at your table?
Jiang Nan Fang was not someone without self-respect, so after Zhan Bei Jue spoke, while everyone was still in a moment of awkwardness, she pushed Zhou Jin Bei and was about to leave.
Chen Jiao Jiao hadn't realized what was happening when the young office director raised his hand to stop them.
"Since you're here, we're all friends. What's related or unrelated."
"It's just a matter of adding two chairs and two pairs of chopsticks. Sit down."
"You two sit here first, I'll find a waiter to get two more chairs."
Some were driving away, some were staying, and the atmosphere became even more bizarre.
Jiang Nan Fang was about to say it wasn't necessary, she had something to do.
Lu Ba called out to Zhan Bei Jue.
"Xiao Xie is right. Since you're here, we're all friends. It's just a matter of adding two chairs. Sit down."
"Anyway, we're not talking about work today, just a casual gathering. More people means more liveliness."
Jiang Nan Fang and Zhou Jin Bei were pulled by Chen Jiao Jiao to sit beside Madam Wang.
The two young and beautiful girls stood behind Zhan Bei Jue.
Thus, a situation was formed where the men sat on one side of the table, the women on the other, with two beauties accompanying them from behind.
Soon, Director Xie returned with a waiter and added a chair next to Jiang Nan Fang, naturally sitting down beside her.
Then he looked around and beckoned to the other two girls.
"There's still space, don't stand there, come and sit."
The two beauties cast their gazes at Zhan Bei Jue, as if seeking his opinion.
Zhan Bei Jue was expressionless.
"No need, they are not here to eat. Let's leave it at that."
No one else said anything, seeming to know what they were there for and being accustomed to such scenes, they started chatting amongst themselves.
The topics between men were always market economy and international affairs.
The topics between women were always beauty, clothes, and bags.
Jiang Nan Fang sat in the middle of the crowd, not close to anyone, unable to join the conversation, and could only listen silently, occasionally taking a sip of the water in front of her.
She felt she really shouldn't have come today.
Suffering here, and having to endure the man's scowl, she didn't know what she was doing it for.
Moreover, she had left the children in their room specifically for Chen Jiao Jiao.
Wasting time with her children to sit here drinking water was truly absurd.
Seeing her sitting there silently with a detached expression, Director Xie started to initiate a conversation with her.
As Jiang Nan Fang chatted, she learned that Director Xie was young and promising.
At only 28 years old, he had already reached the position of office director. He was tall, thin, and quite spirited, and was particularly good at observing people and livening up the atmosphere. His future prospects were likely boundless.
Director Xie was particularly interested in Jiang Nan Fang. They put others aside and spoke in low voices, back and forth, completely unaware of Zhan Bei Jue's gaze from across the table.
In fact, Zhan Bei Jue had decided to come here on a whim.
He had people watching Madam Gao for a long time and had always wanted to find an opportunity to bring up the topic and confront her directly.
However, this woman was very cunning.
Perhaps she had only recently arrived in Nancheng and was more restrained, or perhaps she was inherently deep-minded.
He had been watching her for half a month, and she stayed home every day, giving him no opportunity to approach her.
Just as he had a project to deal with Director Gao recently, and he had learned early on that this woman would be here, he found a way to bring Director Gao here as well.
He just didn't expect Jiang Nan Fang to be there too.
To be honest, the moment he saw Jiang Nan Fang standing with Madam Gao, Zhan Bei Jue realized that things were far more complicated than he had imagined.
This woman was even more formidable than he had imagined.
Although he had already divorced Jiang Nan Fang and messed up his private affairs according to her design, she still refused to let Jiang Nan Fang go.
Today they would meet by chance, and in the future, they would interact by chance, and later they would become friends.
Who knew what she was planning next.
Although Jiang Nan Fang was also smart, she was more than twenty years younger than her, and she didn't know this woman's true colors. If she were to be used, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Therefore, Zhan Bei Jue didn't want Jiang Nan Fang to participate in today's dinner and would explain it to her later.
But since she was staying now, one plan failed, and he could think of other strategies.
Madam Gao suspected that Zhan Bei Jue was putting on a show for her, that he still cared about his ex-wife, and that Jiang Nan Fang still had value.
What he had to do today was to dispel her doubts.
Not only had Zhan Bei Jue and Jiang Nan Fang severed ties, but they had also become enemies out of love turned to hate.
In this way, perhaps Jiang Nan Fang would truly be safe if she were not in Zhan Bei Jue's network.
It had to be said that Jiang Nan Fang had great personal charm.
Among the many women present today, there were those as flamboyant and beautiful as Chen Jiao Jiao.
There were those as lively and cute as Zhou Jin Bei.
There were also the two obedient and young girls behind him, all of whom were beauties.
But Director Xie's eyes were drawn to her.
She was always beautiful in a different way from others.
With a touch of heroism in her grace, and a hint of aloofness in her gentleness.
Even if she did nothing and said nothing, just standing there, she had the desire to make men want to approach and conquer her.
Director Xie almost had the words "I want to pursue you" written all over his face.
Zhan Bei Jue drank the tea in his hand and observed for a while, then nodded towards one of the girls behind him.
The girl immediately understood, picked up the wine bottle on the table, and walked towards Director Xie.
"Director Xie, I see your glass is empty. Let me refill it for you."
Director Xie had heard about Zhan Bei Jue's character before. He seemed uninterested in women, and there were rarely women present in occasions where he was.
But after interacting with him recently, he realized that rumors were just rumors.
