Just as I entered the lobby, I saw Director Li looking around, apparently searching for me.

I walked directly to his side and said, "Looking for me?"

"You've been out for so long, I thought you'd left. Are you alright?"

My gaze shifted to Lin Hai, who was standing diagonally across from us, and I casually said, "Haunted again, this ghost just won't leave me alone."

"What's he doing here? Does he know we're having a gathering here?"

"Who knows? People like him are like a dog skin plaster, you're unlucky if you get stuck with them."

Director Li didn't say much, he just glanced at Lin Hai and said, "Let's go in, I've had enough to drink."

I took a few steps, then stopped immediately, looking at him and saying, "I came here today to take the edge off for you. I've already drunk more than twenty glasses for that Pei Shi Yu, I've had about enough myself."

Director Li looked at my face and said, "You look fine to me, not even blushing. You can still drink at least one bottle of baijiu."

"Don't flatter me, or I'll be dead drunk tonight."

"It can't be helped, it's for work."

"I'm thinking of leaving, that woman's words are too harsh."

"If you want to succeed, you have to endure humiliation. If you don't follow me, where else can you go to make money? Just take it as a way to temper your character and smooth out your rough edges."

I said a little recklessly, "I'll just set up a barbecue stall then, just remember to patronize it."

"Don't go causing trouble in society. Get along with Shi Yu, if you want to turn things around, just go along with her a little. I know a little about what happened between you two."

"What did she tell you?"

"She didn't say much, just that she thinks your personality is too wild, and that you even hit her." Director Li looked at me with some disbelief.

"I slapped her, and the price I paid was heavy. Look at my face, she scratched it."

"Girls are meant to be cherished, how could you do that?"

"It was caused by debt collection, I just couldn't stand her arrogant look."

"She has the right to be arrogant, why can't you stand it!"

"Anyway, what's done is done. Do you think she'll still let me work for you?"

"You need to be patient. If you analyze it this way, if you hadn't provoked her tonight, how could she have sat down knowing you were here?"

After Director Li finished speaking, he looked at my face and comforted me, "She really scratched your face pretty badly. I didn't know Shi Yu had such a savage side."

I just smiled bitterly. It wasn't just savage, her temper was even harder. Even though I had already taken my revenge, it was as if I still owed her. If her father hadn't been so ruthless back then, I wouldn't have lost control with her.

Director Li pushed open the door, and immediately heard a burst of laughter. They were having a great time inside. My eyes curiously fixed on Pei Shi Yu's face, feeling that she was a bit drunk. Her cheeks were red all the way down to her neck, her eyes were a little dazed, and the thorns on her body seemed to have disappeared. She just kept staring at them with a silly smile.

Director Li also noticed it and asked her after sitting down, "Shi Yu, are you okay?"

"I'm alright."

Old Liang on the opposite side started to instigate again, "If you're alright, have a few more drinks."

"Come... come... come... let's drink, let Shi Yu rest for a while, or she won't drink with you next time." Director Li started to smooth things over again.

"Shi Yu, is your father doing well?"

Suddenly someone asked tactlessly. I saw Pei Shi Yu instantly put away her smile, her face heavy as she lay on the table. I could understand the feeling of losing a loved one, but it was still surprising to see her abandon her composure in front of so many people.

I was sitting close, so I could faintly hear her sobbing. Director Li also felt it at the same time, patted her hand on the table and said, "Don't be sad, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Let him rest in peace. If you prop up the family business, that will be the best reward for him."

Just as I was still watching her movements, Pei Shi Yu suddenly straightened up, downed the baijiu in her glass in one gulp, then stood up, picked up her bag and said, "I'll leave first, you guys continue."

Her body was already a little unsteady. I instinctively reached out to help her, then retracted my hand, afraid of being poisoned again.

Director Li was very quick to support her, wanting to press her back into the chair, but she was very stubborn, saying, "I want to go back."

"You should still wait a while before going back. Sit down for a while, I'll take you back."

"No need, I can do it myself."

"Lin Che, help Shi Yu hail a taxi, she's had about enough to drink."

This matter was a little tricky. She disliked me so much that she definitely wouldn't be happy to accept my help, so I turned my head to look at her and asked softly, "Why don't you sit here first, and I'll go out and call a taxi for you?"

"No need."

Then she stood up again. This time, even Director Li couldn't hold her back. She started to walk out staggeringly. Everyone present wanted to persuade her to stay, but her will was very firm.

Director Li looked at her back, poked my arm and said, "Leave things here to me, you go take care of her and get her into a car, you have to follow her."

I picked up the cigarette case on the table and immediately chased after her, thinking she had already gone far, but as soon as I went out, I saw her leaning against the wall, looking like she wanted to throw up. I didn't talk to her, I just watched her.

At this moment, she burped without any grace, giving off a strong smell of baijiu. I turned around with a disgusted gesture...

"If you can't stand it, you can leave, no one asked you to stay here."

She suddenly spoke out, even though she was already like this, she still wanted to maintain her momentum... oγg

I walked outside on my own. There was a taxi waiting at the door, so I immediately called him over. I stood at the door waiting for her to come out. Five minutes passed like this, but she still didn't show up. I told the driver a few words and walked inside. The place where I was just standing was already empty.

My eyes immediately looked in the direction of the restroom, a little worried that she had fallen in the toilet. After hesitating for a while, I walked inside. I saw her next to the sink in the restroom. She had probably just vomited and was rinsing her mouth. She saw me in the reflection of the mirror, turned around and gave me a very familiar disgusted look, saying, "Don't be a persistent ghost, this is the women's restroom."

"Public area."

I immediately felt very unhappy. Lin Hai had just said the same thing to me, so I also replied with disgust, "Who wants to follow you? If it weren't for Director Li's instructions, I wouldn't care if you drank too much."

She rarely retorted to me, she privately straightened her hair, and wanted to leave with very unsteady steps. Seeing this, I got up before her.

The taxi from just now was no longer there. I looked around, there were no other waiting vehicles. I walked all the way to the main road. Maybe this time was rush hour for taxis, and several people next to me were also trying to hail a cab.

I waited like this for about ten minutes, and finally stopped an empty car. I was about to call Pei Shi Yu when I saw her not far from me. Seeing that she was walking in the direction of the parking lot, I ran towards her...
