Zhan Jingchen slowly stood up when his second brother arrived, and called out "Second Brother" again.
Then, he tilted his chin towards Xia Huaizheng opposite him.
"This guy won't let me leave. He says if I want to leave, I either have to drink the ashtray wine on the table, or crawl over this pile of broken glass."
What?
Isn't this a cocktail party?
Drink ashtray wine? Crawl over broken glass?
They all look quite old, why are they so bored?
Jiang Jingyu glared at Zhan Jingchen with dissatisfaction, silently blaming him for coming to such a place, and then turned to look at Xia Huaizheng.
Guessing he was the person Zhan Jingchen mentioned on WeChat, he extended his hand.
"Mr. Xia Huaizheng, right? I'm Jiang Jingyu."
Xia Huaizheng had recognized him from the moment Jiang Jingyu entered.
Over the years, in order to connect with Zhan Group and become their quality supplier, he had interacted with many executives of Zhan Group.
Although he hadn't managed to connect with Jiang Jingyu himself, he had encountered him a few times at the group.
And he had heard many stories about him from others.
He was a god-like figure among the young businessmen of their generation! He never expected to see him here today!
Moreover, this kid called him Second Brother.
He heard that the Zhan family had several children, and the youngest boy was already in his early twenties. Could it be…
Xia Huaizheng's back suddenly felt cold, his scalp tingled, and he quickly clasped Jiang Jingyu's hands.
"Hello, President Jiang, I am Xia Huaizheng."
Jiang Jingyu raised his eyebrows: "You know me?"
Xia Huaizheng's tone was humble: "President Jiang's name is widely known and thunderous. I have unilaterally known you for a long time."
"What happened today is a misunderstanding. It was just kids playing house, I didn't expect it to alarm you. I'm truly sorry."
It was good that he was sensible.
Since Jiang Jingyu didn't want to get too involved with these people, and they were giving him a way out, he smiled faintly and withdrew his hand.
"Since it's a misunderstanding, can he leave with me now?"
He could leave, but Xia Huaizheng was reluctant.
"It's impolite for President Zhan to visit my humble place and leave without having a cup of tea."
"Let the children handle their own affairs. You and I will move to the main hall, and let me properly…"
Jiang Jingyu naturally refused.
Compared to accompanying his wife and children, listening to him brag about connections was a waste of time.
"No need, I have other matters. I was just passing by. Let me ask you again, can he leave with me?"
Xia Huaizheng saw that he was too lazy to pay him any more attention and wisely shut up.
"Since President Jiang is busy, we'll meet another day. Please."
Saying that, he respectfully made a gesture of invitation.
Xia Tiantian, not understanding what was happening, watched from the side with a green face.
"Brother, who is he? Why did you forget about me the moment you saw him! What about your principles?"
"Look at my clothes, what have they done to them! They haven't apologized to me yet!"
"Even if the King of Heaven came, if they are in the wrong, they have to give an explanation, right? So many people are watching, am I supposed to lose all face? How could you just let them go like that?"
Jiang Jingyu followed her voice and looked over.
A white dress, stained with bright red wine, indeed looked quite pathetic. Did Xiao Wu do it?
For a girl, whether it was accidental or intentional, to have wine splashed on her by a grown man should have garnered sympathy.
Unfortunately, she had a sharp, over-contoured face, coupled with a pig-like brain that couldn't discern the situation. Jiang Jingyu felt no sympathy at all.
"Xiao Wu, what happened?"
Zhan Jingchen glanced at Xia Tiantian dismissively and told the truth.
"I did splash wine on her. But she spoke disrespectfully first. She insulted my person."
"Oh? Insulted your person, what did she say?"
"She called me…"
Zhan Jingchen couldn't say the word "wife," and for once, he felt a little embarrassed.
"My girlfriend. She called her a promiscuous mistress who likes to hook up with people outside. Who wouldn't tolerate that?"
Xiao Wuzi has a girlfriend?!
Jiang Jingyu's eyes lit up, and he felt a flicker of joy.
But it was only for a moment.
With his current judgment and unpredictable style, he might actually dare to find someone like that for a girlfriend.
No wonder he refused to go home.
If he really found someone like that for a girlfriend, and they went around together all day, it would be a headache.
"Who is your girlfriend? Won't you introduce her to me?"
Jiang Jingyu couldn't help but want to see the female lead who caused trouble tonight immediately, but unfortunately, she wasn't present.
Someone in the crowd chimed in: "Pei Kexin, where is Pei Kexin?"
Pei Kexin?
Jiang Jingyu's furrowed brow slowly relaxed. He stared at Zhan Jingchen.
"Your girlfriend is Pei Kexin? From Pei Electric Appliances?"
He hadn't expected his second brother to know her name. He wasn't sure if this was good or bad, and Zhan Jingchen felt a little uneasy.
"It's her."
Because the group was developing smart electrical appliances, Pei Group had been operating poorly in the past few years, and it was on the verge of bankruptcy. He had considered acquiring Pei Group.
However, Old Master Pei was very stubborn, saying he would not admit defeat until the last moment.
Jiang Jingyu thought he wouldn't last long and that it was only a matter of time before he acquired them. Who knew that Pei Group would actually revive?
In just two years of joining the company, Pei Kexin had opened up the highly demanded African market, reviving products that were eliminated in China and almost declared dead.
From then on, her sales model became a private imitation model for the sales department of Zhan Group. Although Jiang Jingyu had not dealt with her, he knew her reputation and admired her greatly.
He didn't expect this unreliable Xiao Wu Zi to actually become her boyfriend.
"Where is she? If she has a boyfriend, won't you introduce her to your second brother?"
Zhan Jingchen couldn't figure out his second brother's expression and didn't know his intentions, so he could only tell the truth again.
"She's not here, she went inside for something."
"Did she bring you here?"
"Mm."
Alright then, if she's here, nothing will go wrong. Jiang Jingyu was relieved.
"Okay, since you have something to do and can't leave yet, I'll be going first."
"No matter how important dating is, you shouldn't forget what you need to remember."
Zhan Jingchen knew what his last sentence meant and nodded honestly.
"Understood, tomorrow I will…"
Jiang Jingyu turned back again and looked at Xia Huaizheng.
"Your sister doesn't seem satisfied with how things were handled. Mr. Xia, my younger brother is still young. If there's anything he's done wrong, it's my fault as his older brother for not teaching him well. Since your sister really can't get over it, I'll take the punishment for him."
"Crawling over broken glass, right? Come on, get up, I'll show you."
Xia Huaizheng's courage was almost scared out of him, and he quickly tried to stop him.
"President Jiang, President Jiang, please don't!"
"This is all a misunderstanding, like the Dragon King's temple being flooded by a storm. If I had known this was your brother… Tiantian! You ignorant girl! If you hadn't been so sharp-tongued and provoked young President Jiang first, would he have splashed wine on you?"
"So what if he splashed it? Did he take a piece of your flesh? You're making a fuss out of nothing. It's all because I've spoiled you too much! Hurry, apologize to young President Jiang!"
