Chapter Forty-Eight: The Wronged Boss

The lounge is located in the corridor behind the banquet hall, where the security work has been significantly strengthened, and several hotel security guards stood at the entrance of the corridor, and when they saw Zhou Jing and I coming over, two security guards immediately greeted them.

Zhou Jing glanced at me, casually took out a golden invitation card, and the faces of the two security guards were immediately respectful several times, and then welcomed us into the corridor.

There are small lounges here, and obviously, if Zhou Jing didn't bring me in, I might not be able to get into this place! Because I saw a clear division of areas outside the hallway: the VIP area

Obviously, Zhou Jing belongs to the category of VIPs, and I am not. We were able to come in because of the invitation card in his hand.

We asked for a separate small lounge, which was a temporary conversion of a small private room in the hotel, but it was also fully equipped, with a small wine cabinet and soft sofas.

Walking into the lounge, the door closed immediately, Zhou Jing sat down on the single sofa very casually, and then took out a cigar from his arms and threw it to me: "Cohiba, Century 5." Are you used to smoking this brand? โ€

I took it in my hand and looked at it, then gently threw it back to him, and said with a faint smile: "I still don't smoke this, I'm used to smoking, the smell of cigars is too strong, I'm not used to it." โ€

A complicated smile appeared on Zhou Jing's face, as if thoughtfully: "Young people, in fact, they should have the courage to try new things......

"I've tried it before, but I really don't like it, so there's no need to push myself." I smiled and pulled out the cigarette case in my jacket pocket.

Zhou Jing didn't say anything more, casually took out the cigar cutter from the wine cabinet, and then took out a lighter and lit it.

The Cohiba Century No. 5 he smoked was a very expensive cigar, native to Cuba, and one cigar cost more than 200 yuan. Once upon a time I had seen this cigar in the splendor of the Golden Wall. Zhou Jing was undoubtedly a real cigar smoker, with an expression of enjoyment on his face, and then pointed to another sofa beside him: "Sit down." โ€

I don't like to be passive all the time, so I simply spoke first: "Mr. Zhou, you asked me to come in, there must be something you want to tell me, right?" โ€

"Well, you're very direct, and I like direct people." Zhou Jing's eyes were hidden behind the smoke of Qing Sรจ, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth: "That's the case, Chen Yang, I hope you can do me a favor." โ€

"What?"

Zhou Jing held a cigar in one hand, patted the arm of the sofa twice with the other, and said slowly: "It's about Miss Fang." Frankly, I have a crush on her. So I would like to ask you a favor. โ€

I shook my head: "Mr. Zhou, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you." I'm just Miss Fang's subordinate. โ€

"My request is simple." Zhou Jing slowly puffed out a puff of smoke and smiled very determinedly: "I just want to know one thing, tonight, Miss Fang came to participate in this charity gala, and at the auction in a while, does she have any auction that she wants." โ€

My eyes lit up, and then I pretended to cough to cover up the past, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Zhou...... You mean, you want to please her? โ€

"There are a lot of precious jewels in tonight's lot...... Women love jewelry, don't they? Zhou Jing smiled confidently: "I think you are her assistant, she must have read the brochure of tonight's lot before she came, did she pay special attention to anything?" โ€

This guy really cares!

I already knew his plan, he probably wanted to take pictures of what Xia Nan wanted in public, and then solemnly give it to Fang Nan...... Such a move is a good way to win the favor of a woman.

Of course, it is also a typical way for rich people to chase women.

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly occurred to me......

"What is this......" I made a look of embarrassment.

"I would never let someone do anything for me for nothing." Zhou Jing smiled, then took out a checkbook from his arms, tore it off, and pushed it to the table in front of me: "You just need to do me a small favor." 100,000, buy an intelligence, this price should be very fair. โ€

Damn, in the end, he is a rich man, he has a lot of money, in order to please a woman, there is no shadow of the matter, and he will throw out 100,000 yuan casually!

Zhou Jing looked into my eyes and said slowly, "How is it?" I know that since Miss Fang is here to participate in this auction tonight, she must have taken a fancy to something. โ€

I have to say, he guessed accurately.

Because when I saw the booklet in the car during the day today, I did see that among the lots listed in the booklet, there was something that Fang Nan drew a circle with a pen.

It was a diamond brooch that was worth about two hundred thousand. Probably Fang Nan is going to shoot this thing back tonight.

"Mr. Zhou." I deliberately showed a little embarrassment on my face: "You make me very embarrassed...... I am Miss Fang's subordinate, and I can't disclose her affairs, especially those involving personal aspects. โ€

Zhou Jing smiled, his expression was not even a little dissatisfied, he still smiled so happily, and then quickly spit out a few words from his mouth: "Two hundred thousand." โ€

I still shook my head: "I can't really say." โ€

I said this on purpose. What I said was "can't say", but I didn't say "I don't know", just implying to the other party that I do know Fang Nan's goal tonight!

Zhou Jing sighed, stared at my eyes, as if careless, and said lightly: "Young man, you can't be too greedy." In this way, 300,000, such a price to buy an intelligence, it is simply more expensive than the zhลngyฤng intelligence bureau. โ€

He casually wrote another check and pushed it in front of me.

This time I really laughed, silently picked up the check, flicked it in my hand, and put it in my arms.

"Miss Fang has two goals tonight." I laughed and said, "The first one is a diamond brooch from the Maison of Menique in France, the third lot tonight." โ€

Zhou Jing nodded: "Well, I know, that thing Cangyu seems to be very interested, it is worth 200,000, which is indeed good." Then he looked at me again: "What about the other target?" โ€

"Lot Five." I said slowly in a calm tone: "It is a ring, a diamond double circle, the one donated by Mr. Herode, the European ship king. โ€

Zhou Jing thought for a while, frowned, and said, "That ring?" That ring doesn't seem to be very suitable for women to wear, right...... But there's nothing wrong with that. โ€

Then a smile appeared on his face: "Alright, thank you for the news." He then took out a business card from his bosom and handed it to me: "This is my number, young man, I hope we can contact us more, I may ask you for help." โ€

After speaking, he had already stood up, tidied up his clothes, and looked at me deeply: "You must be very happy to work next to a beautiful woman like Fang Nan, right?" Then he stared into my eyes: "You better forget our conversation just now, and I don't want you to mention it to Miss Fang." โ€

I immediately put on a smile: "Don't worry. โ€

Zhou Jing nodded, then casually pressed the cigar in the ashtray to extinguish, then turned around and walked out of the lounge.

I looked at the time, and it was less than five minutes past.

Sighing, I took a hard puff of my cigarette, glanced at the cigar I had just smoked a few puffs in the ashtray, shook my head and smiled bitterly: "Loser!" Cohiba•Century No. 5, more than 200 pieces of a branch, throw it away after two puffs...... Hum. โ€

Want to soak Fang Nan? Hmph, think slowly!

I'm already thinking about something else.

That ring, if I had been on my own, would have never hoped to buy it tonight. But now that he has Zhou Jing, the big wrongdoer, let him pay for the auction, no matter how much money he spends to auction it, he will give it to Fang Nan in the end......

As long as the ring is in Fang Nan's hand, at least the ring will be in my sight in the future. The difficulty has also been reduced a lot in the future......

Anyway, Fang Nan may not like this ring, and I will find a way to let her transfer it to me in the future, it's not hopeless.

It is imperative that the ring does not fall into the hands of others!

That's all I can do now.

Zhou Jing...... I see that your surname is not Zhou, your surname is wronged! Change your name to Wronged Boss!

I laughed happily for a while, and waited until I finished smoking a cigarette before walking out of the lounge.

"Is there anything else you need, sir?" A man in uniform immediately greeted him.

"Nope." I thought about it for a moment and sighed, "Please have someone bring me a glass of warm water." โ€

Back in the banquet hall, Zhou Jing didn't know where to go, and I walked to my seat alone, holding a glass of warm water in my hand.

Cang Yu was talking to Fang Nan about something, Cang Yu seemed to be asking Fang Nan something, Fang Nan listened to his face a little unnatural, just shook his head, but didn't speak. Cangyu sighed, looking a little helpless. When he saw me coming, he frowned and said, "Why did you come back?" What about Mr. Zhou? โ€

I shrugged my shoulders: "I'm not used to smoking cigars, Mr. Zhou probably went to chat with other guests." Then I handed the cup of warm water to Fang Nan.

Fang Nan glanced up at me, his eyes were very gentle, and he smiled, "Thank you." โ€

I nodded: "It's nothing, I'm your assistant, and it's my duty to take care of you." As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly felt a kick in my leg under the table, Cangyu looked at me and said with a smile: "Chen Yang, dance with me." โ€

Before I could speak, she had already turned her head to look at Fang Nan: "Borrow your assistant for me a few minutes, you won't be reluctant, right?" โ€

Fang Nan's face was a little red, her expression was a little twisted, and she glanced at her: "What nonsense!" If you want to dance, just ask him yourself. โ€

I quickly stood up and stretched out my hand to make an inviting gesture: "Miss Kurayu, please." โ€

At this point, the dance music had reverted back to a soft tune, and Kuratama and I walked onto the dance floor hand in hand, and then gently put one hand around her soft waist. I felt Kuratama's body stiffen for two seconds, and I suddenly remembered the scene when I hugged her in the bathroom just now, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Cangyu had returned to normal and sighed: "Chen Yang, I'm already starting to regret it. โ€

"Regret what?" I danced slowly around her, and the two of them were close together.

"I regret introducing you to work for Fang Nan." Cangyu's tone was a little unkind: "I sued you just now, you'd better not make trouble for yourself......" glared at me, and said in a low voice: "Fang Nan is not the woman you should provoke, I said this clearly enough, right?" โ€

I sighed deliberately: "Cangyu, you answer me a few questions first...... Am I handsome? โ€

โ€œ๏ผŸโ€ Cangyu glanced at me suspiciously, but seeing that there didn't seem to be a joke on my face, he smiled and said, "It's okay, it's good among ordinary people, but that's all." โ€

I nodded, expressing my approval of her evaluation, and asked, "Then let me ask you again, am I rich and powerful?" โ€

"Of course not." Cangyu replied very simply: "I almost know your details." โ€

"Yes or do you think I'm particularly feminine? Is it that kind of high-level love killer? โ€

Cangyu pursed his lips and smiled: "You don't seem to be either." โ€

"That'll do." I sighed: "I'm just an ordinary person, and now I'm just a part-time worker with a decent income." What kind of woman is Fang Nan, I know better than you in my heart. Would a man like me be eye-catching? So...... You can rest assured. โ€

"But ......"

"But I look a lot like a man Fang Nan knew before, right?" I pursed my lips and sneered, "Miss Cangyu, do you think this is a movie?" What does it look like? It's not a super parody show! At most, my appearance will remind her of a little memory of the past, and when this emotion calms down, a smart woman like Fang Nan will easily understand that I am me, not the person in her heart! โ€

Without waiting for Cang Yu to say anything, I said quickly: "You should be careful of that guy Zhou Jing, he is fighting Fang Nan's idea." โ€

Cangyu sneered: "He? He had no hope. Zhou Jing didn't know the details of Fang Nan, if he knew about it and lent him a gut, he wouldn't dare to move Fang Nan! โ€

My heart moved...... Does Fang Nan still have any powerful background?

Cangyu looked at me and said, "Chen Yang...... You'd better settle a little bit. I found you this job in the hope that you can work well to make money, live, and live a normal ordinary person...... This is also what Brother Huan expects from you. โ€

I smiled, a little indifferent: "Don't worry." At least I didn't want to provoke Fang Nan now. โ€

Hmph, if I really wanted to fight Fang Nan's idea, I would have done it at her house this afternoon.

Of course, this matter can't be told to Cangyu.

The two of us stopped talking and danced to the music. Cangyu's dancing skills are very skilled, and compared to her, I am not at the same level at all. But my mind wasn't on dancing.

I was thinking in my heart, when Zhou Jing gave the ring to Fang Nan, what way would I think of to get Fang Nan to accept it? Or, after Fang Nan accepted it, how should I get the ring?

and 300,000 in his arms.

I plan to give it to Fang Nan, and I will return it to her as compensation for yesterday's accident.

I don't like to owe favors to others, especially women.

In fact, I can appreciate Kurayu's kindness. I was originally very willing to live an ordinary life.

But the problem is, after I learned that everything about the ring was true...... I have such a magical ring in my hand...... Is it possible for me to continue to live an ordinary life?

The answer is obviously: no!

I was a little distracted, my eyes were looking around, and suddenly, I seemed to see a figure flashing in the distance somewhere on the left......

My heart jumped! In a surprised mood, I accidentally took a step slower and stepped on the instep of Cangyu, Cangyu frowned, there was some pain between my eyebrows, I came back to my senses, and quickly pulled her aside, and said with a wry smile: "Are you okay?" โ€

"It's fine." Cangyu sighed: "Are you having poor dancing skills, or are you wandering?" โ€

I smiled, "It's all a little bit." โ€

Then I let go of Kuratama and slowly walked back. Cangyu followed me and suddenly whispered: "Be careful Zhou Jing, this person is very difficult to mess with, you'd better not provoke him." โ€

I nodded.

Isn't it easy to mess with? I just stabbed him.

As he walked back to his seat, the music suddenly stopped, and then the president of the charity walked up to zhลngyฤng and took the microphone and announced loudly that in ten minutes, the auction would begin!

I kept searching around, hoping to find the figure I had just seen.

Impossible, right? That person shouldn't be here...... Am I mistaken?
