After the dinner, Lu Jisheng sent Liang Beiyao back to Liang's house and then returned to his home by car.

Like yesterday, he plunged straight into the study, picked up a bottle of wine from the cabinet and drank it.

Ever since Jing Sheng left, he has been very depressed in his heart. This mood was like a wound on his hand, itchy and painful.

He searched for personal information about Qin Jiang on the computer, but he couldn't concentrate. Perhaps the power of the alcohol was too strong, and the images in front of him began to shake.

Never mind.

He threw down the bottle and the papers in his hand, walked straight to the bathroom of his room, and took a shower with cold water.

——————————

When he went to work the next day, Du Juan once again noticed Lu Jisheng's unusual face.

Although the smell of alcohol on Lu Jisheng's body was not as strong as before, he could still smell it when he was closer. And his face was also a little red, like he had a cold.

There are still a few days before the bidding meeting, and Cuckoo is a little worried about his state.

But Lu Jisheng was very confident, and there was no nervousness on his calm poker face, as if he was bound to win this bidding.

Two weeks passed like this, and it was the day of the bidding meeting.

Due to several days of alcoholism and a worsening cold, Lu Jisheng unfortunately fell ill the day before the meeting.

After negotiating with the company, Lu Jisheng decided to use telephone connection to command remotely, and the scene was controlled by Du Juan.

Lu Jisheng sat in the office, enduring a severe headache and blurred vision to monitor the situation at the bidding meeting.

After learning the news of Lu Ji's illness, the competitors suddenly made a big fuss about a loophole in the Lu Group's bid, causing them to finally close the deal at twice the original price.

Although the result of winning the bid in the end was still acceptable to everyone, but after suffering such a big loss in price, the staff of Lu's Group were not very good-looking.

After they returned to the company, Lu Jisheng directly held a staff meeting with his illness and dealt with the relevant person in charge of the mistake seriously.

However, after the meeting, Lu Jisheng said, "The meeting is dismissed." The moment he stood up, his legs suddenly went limp, and everything in front of him turned a blurry white.

In front of all the employees at the meeting, Lu Jisheng fainted on the ground as soon as he stood up.

The scene was chaotic for a while, and Du Juan, who was closest to him, hurriedly dialed the emergency number, while Xi Xiangnan quickly cleared all the onlookers.

——————————

Lu Jisheng woke up in a ward full of the smell of disinfectant water, with a drip on his arm and a wet towel on his forehead to cool down.

He sat up with some difficulty, and then saw the man sitting on the edge of his bed.

His father, Lu Huaizhou.

"Huh, woke up?" Lu Huaizhou was still dressed in a military uniform, and his hands were on a black cane with a golden tiger carving.

Lu Jisheng looked around and immediately knew that this was in their family's private hospital, and now there were only two people in the ward, him and Lu Huaizhou.

"Wake up." He said to his father. The tone was steady, as if the person who fainted before was not him.

Lu Huaizhou knocked the ground twice with a crutch, and his face was displeased: "Not only did I mess up such an important bidding meeting, but I also fainted in front of the company's employees, you can give me a reason to come now." ”

"There's no reason, I've got a cold."

Lu Huaizhou knocked the ground with his cane again, and this time the envoy was stronger: "Then why did the doctor say that you were alcoholic?" I've been to your house to check it out, and you've drunk all the wine in the cabinet in your study. ”

"......" Lu Jisheng was speechless, he didn't expect his father to go to his house.

"Don't say yes?" Lu Huaizhou's voice sounded serious and angry, "You honestly confess, is it related to a woman named Chen Jingsheng?" ”

Lu Jisheng raised his head in shock: "Who did you hear about it from?" ”

"You mentioned it in your own sleep when you were just asleep."

"......" Lu Jisheng was speechless again.

Did I just dream of her? How could you say anything about her dreams?

"I learned about the relevant situation from Jiwen." Lu Huaizhou stood up on crutches, "A half-hearted woman can make you like this, it's really getting more and more useless!" ”

was scolded by his father in person, Lu Jisheng's face was not very good-looking: "I will help the company make up for today's losses, and I will also explain to employees about today's emergencies." ”

"Hmph. If a company as big as my Lu family cared about this money, it wouldn't be alive today. Lu Huaizhou's anger was not finished yet, he glanced at the infusion bottle above Lu Jisheng's head, and said, "After beating your hanging bottle, go out with me." ”

After Lu Huaizhou finished speaking, he didn't want to stay for a moment and walked to the door of the ward.

"Where are you going?" Lu Jisheng sat on the hospital bed and asked.

"Go to the hotel, I've got a surprise for you."

—————————

Nine o'clock in the evening.

Jiangdu Hotel is a Suzhou restaurant focusing on Yangzhou snacks, located on the periphery of S City, a remote but famous place, and is a popular Internet celebrity restaurant among young people.

Lu Huaizhou took Lu Jisheng to a private room.

Lu Jisheng, who had just finished the drip, still had a white band-aid on his hand, his lips were a little pale, and he didn't have any energy.

He rubbed his temples with his left hand, looked down at the exquisite porcelain plate on the table, and asked, "Dad, what about the surprise?" ”

Although he asked, there was no expectation on his face.

"Excuse me." A waiter enters the house with a teapot.

Wait a minute...... This voice?

Lu Jisheng put down his left hand, and after seeing the waiter's face clearly, he said in surprise: "Jingsheng?!" ”

Jingsheng had kept his head down since he entered the door, and only raised his head after hearing Lu Jisheng's voice. Her face was also full of surprise, as well as a hint of helplessness and nervousness.

Her hand holding the teapot shook violently, and she froze in place and looked at Lu Jisheng in front of her in shock.

He...... How did you come to eat in a restaurant so far away? Could it be... Are you dreaming?

However, Lu Huaizhou's stern voice interrupted Jing Sheng's thoughts: "What are you doing in a daze?" Come and pour some tea. ”

Jing Sheng lowered his head again and picked up the teapot to their table to pour tea.

Lu Jisheng's eyes kept staring at her, as if he wanted to see her through.

Jing Sheng lowered his head and waist and concentrated on pouring tea.

Just as she was pouring half a cup, Lu Huaizhou hit her fingers heavily with chopsticks.

"Ahh Jing Sheng didn't expect him to attack suddenly, a nerve reflex, and her hand shook back on its own before she could feel the pain.

This shake not only spilled the tea on the table, but also almost broke the teapot.

Jing Sheng caught the teapot directly with both hands when it was about to fall, and the hot tea inside made her palms turn red instantly.

The sharp pain directly aroused her tears, and Jing Sheng bit her lip to prevent them from falling.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry......," she bowed and apologized.

Lu Huaizhou poured the half cup of tea into the trash can and put it back on the table: "The cup was spilled just now, and then poured." ”

"Yes..."

Jing Sheng quickly cleaned the water on the table, then picked up the tea with trembling hands and was about to pour the second cup of tea.

"Forget it." Lu Jisheng looked disdainful, and his tone was cold, "Change to a waiter." ”

A waiter who was waiting at the door immediately walked over when he heard Lu Jisheng's words, took the teapot in Jingsheng's hand, and flattered him with a flattering face: "I'm sorry two gentlemen, it's us who didn't entertain you well." ”

She quickly poured the tea, stood up and glanced at Jing Sheng, and whispered, "Why don't you go quickly?" ”

Jingsheng's face was flushed, and he bowed to Lu Jisheng and Lu Huaizhou with his head lowered in embarrassment, and then left quickly.

Until she left and completely disappeared into the room, the muscles on Lu Jisheng's face were always tense, trying to make herself look expressionless.

Lu Huaizhou took a sip of the fine tea from the teacup with a comfortable face, and asked, "Are you happy?" ”

"What?" Lu Jisheng still looked cold.

"Are you happy to see a woman who once hurt herself now embarrassed?"

Lu Jisheng's hand holding the teacup trembled slightly, and the tea rippled in circles.

"Well, happy."
