Chapter 88: Three Glasses of Wine (Repair)
A knock on the door interrupted Ye Mian's thoughts, she came back to her senses, and the assistant knocked on the door and came in.
"Mr. Ye, this is the invitation to this year's investment banking business summit, it was sent two weeks ago, the opening reception is tonight, the original plan was to go to Mr. Jiang, now, what do you think?"
Ye Mian took the delicately shaped card.
Being able to receive the invitation to this summit is also the industry's recognition of Qinghe, a dark horse company that was born less than two years ago.
Ye Mian did not hesitate: "I'll go over tonight." β
Five-star hotels, banquet halls, financial tycoons gathered, staggered, fragrant clothes and sideburns.
Ye Mian went to the banquet alone.
Tonight, she wore a dark blue silk bandeau dress, a black blazer, and a flower of the same color as the skirt pinned to the chest of the suit.
Her long hair was pulled up, revealing a slender swan neck.
The temperament is capable and generous, without losing the feminine softness.
As soon as she walked into the banquet hall, she attracted countless eyes, both men and women.
Everyone thought at first glance that she was the female companion of a big man, but after careful inquiry, they learned that she was the one who has been in the limelight recently, the dark horse company in the circle, the behind-the-scenes boss of Qinghe Capital, Ye Mian.
It is this company, half a year ago, picking up waste into treasure. The small AR game workshop they invested in with a team of only a few people has now captured the entire AR game market, beating another AR game invested by Spruce Capital.
Ye Mian ......
I still seem to have heard this name somewhere.
Just when everyone was puzzled, they saw a graceful and dazzling figure walking up to Ye Mian.
She is the daughter of Qin's Group and the fiancΓ©e of Qiao Zhanbei, president of Qiao's Group, Qin Ran.
Only then did everyone remember why the name Ye Mian was so familiar, she was Qiao Zhanbei's ex-wife.
Qin Ran walked up to Ye Mian generously, her eyes showed a hint of surprise, she smiled and greeted her: "Ye Mian, it's really you, I haven't seen you for a long time." β
The woman in front of her, dressed in a hand-made cheongsam made by heavy industry, with a Shanghai-style style, a well-fitting cut, graceful and graceful, and a black orchid tone, which makes her skin appear fairer.
Qin Ran raised her left hand and stroked the sideburns that fell from her cheeks, and the priceless jade bracelet on her wrist exuded a warm brilliance in the light.
Ye Mian narrowed his eyes slightly.
This jade jade bracelet is an heirloom of the Qiao family, which was originally passed down to her by Qiao's mother, and she has always treasured it and has never been willing to wear it. Later, when she divorced, she didn't take it away and gave it back to Qiao Zhanbei.
Now, it is already worn on Qin Ran's wrist.
It seems that a good thing for him and Qin Ran is approaching.
Ye Mian sneered lightly in his heart.
Facing Qin Ran, she smiled slightly: "Senior Sister Qin." β
I don't know if it's her delusion, or if it's her lust, Qin Ran in front of her seems to have lost the wisdom and rationality she admired before.
A little more coquettishness of a little woman.
Qin Ran was very considerate to her and said: "Ye Mian, they are all alumni of our Department of Finance of Qingda over there, everyone has made an appointment tonight, and if you get together here, you will also go over together?" Look at you alone, it's quite lonely. β
Ye Mian saw a few familiar faces, did not refuse, and walked over with her generously talking and smiling.
She quickly warmed up with them, chatting about investment and the market. She is high-minded and broad-minded, and has no stage fright.
Half an hour later, there was a commotion in the banquet hall.
The man wears a suit and leather shoes, and his chest is crisp, standing out from the crowd of elites.
"Mr. Qiao!"
The male guests stepped forward to greet him.
Qiao Zhanbei bowed his head, and after greeting a few of the bigwigs, he patrolled Qin Ran's figure in the crowd.
"Zhanbei!"
Qin Ran beckoned to her from afar.
The man's deep gaze followed the prestige, and for a moment, he froze at one point, and his heart suddenly twitched.
The man who had disappeared from his world for a year and eight months was sitting at the wine table, with a smile on his lips hooked, looking at him.
That night they broke up, and she told him that they would never see each other again.
He thought that he would never see her again in this life.
She still showed up after all.
Qiao Zhanbei came back to his senses, his Adam's apple rolled, he took a step and walked over.
Qin Ran stepped forward, "Zhanbei, everyone has been waiting for you for a long time." β
"I'm sorry, guys, I'm late for something." Qiao Zhanbei walked to the table and apologized to the alumni at the table.
"Senior Qiao, it's late, should you be punished for drinking? We've all been waiting for you for half an hour. Ye Mian took a sip of champagne, looked directly at Qiao Zhanbei, and said with a smile.
As soon as she said this, everyone present was stunned.
Qiao Zhanbei looked at her, his eyes met her, and his heart tightened.
"Ye Mian, Zhanbei has a bad stomach and can't get drunk." Qin Ran explained with a smile to Ye Mian and helped Qiao Zhanbei to relieve the siege.
"It's okay, I should be punished." Qiao Zhanbei said, took a bottle of liquor and filled it for himself.
He threw his head back and drank it down.
"Senior Qiao, punish at least three glasses of wine." Seeing that he was going to sit down, Ye Mian was embarrassed again.
Once, she was the one who didn't let him get drunk.
She just did it on purpose, and she couldn't see him feel better.
A glass of 52-degree liquor went down to his stomach, Qiao Zhanbei had a cramping pain in his stomach, listening to Ye Mian's words, he pulled the corners of his lips and poured himself wine.
"Zhanbei, you can't drink anymore, your stomach-"
Before Qin Ran finished speaking, Qiao Zhanbei raised his head again.
After drinking the second glass of wine, there was a burning sensation in his stomach, and cold sweat broke out on the man's forehead, and his face turned white for a while.
Ye Mian noticed that something was wrong with him, and was unmoved, she hooked her lips, "Senior Qiao, there is still a cup left." β
Qiao Zhanbei poured the third glass of wine, gritted his teeth secretly, and drank it all again.
When the glass was finished, he sat down.
Qin Ran asked the waiter to bring honey water and yogurt, and persuaded Qiao Zhanbei to drink it to relieve stomach discomfort. He has been getting worse and worse in the past year, and he had a perforated stomach not long ago.
I just drank three glasses of spirits in a row, and I can't get stomach bleeding.
"Zhanbei, you are about to drink the honey water." Qin Ran said thoughtfully.
Qiao Zhanbei: "No. β
Ye Mian was eating vegetables, chatting with the alumni on the side, and inadvertently saw Qin Ran treating him like a wife, shushing and asking for warmth, and being considerate, and sneering in his heart.
After that, she didn't communicate with them at all.
The feast dispersed, and Ye Mian was slightly drunk.
She entered the hotel elevator with the group, and there was a distance of several people between her and Qiao Zhanbei.
"I'll be on the first floor right away." Ye Mian answered the phone in the elevator.
As soon as she got out of the elevator, Xu Mobai strode towards her.
The man is dressed in an iron-gray suit, with an elegant temperament, wearing a pair of rimless glasses, and the chain is under the crystal chandelier, which glows with metallic coldness, giving people a sense of distance.
He walked to Ye Mian's side and wrapped his arm intimately around her shoulder.
Not far away, Qiao Zhanbei watched this scene, his stomach churned, a spasmodic pain, he took a big stride and was about to step forward, but his waist bent down.
"Zhanbei, what's wrong with you? Does your stomach hurt? Seeing this, Qin Ran asked anxiously.
Qiao Zhanbei gritted his teeth, a smell of blood filled his mouth, and his eyebrows frowned.
