On the day they left Marriage Town, Xu Jiandong really didn't come to see them off, and Xiang Huan didn't answer his call at the station.
"I've taken care of that matter and it won't affect him. Why don't you stay and see him in person?" Chengye looked at Xiang Huan's expression and put his arm around her shoulders.
Xiang Huan shook his head.
Back in Lincheng, Xiang Huan first went to the furniture store and then went to [Fu Huan].
During the days since she left, there was nothing major going on in the club. It was just the recruitment of new members, which was waiting for Xiang Huan to come back to preside over it.
After discussing with the club manager, Xiang Huan decided that the recruitment should be carried out as usual, or that she should conduct a video interview in person, which was scheduled for the end of this month.
When Xiang Huan got busy, so did Chengye.
After returning from Marriage Town, the two didn't see each other for a week. They were so busy that they took off. Cheng Yeren didn't show up, but he sent flowers to Xiang Huan twice.
Once to the furniture store and once to the club.
This time, after receiving it at the club, Xiang Huan sent him a WeChat message and asked him how the coffee shop was going.
Cheng Ye called directly after the meeting and asked Xiang Huan what his plans were for tonight.
"There's something really happening tonight. Someone from the furniture brand's headquarters is here. I'll treat you to dinner tonight."
After hearing what Xiang Huan said, Chengye asked where to eat and if he needed his company.
"No, how can I bother you with such a small thing? Let's go have barbecue."
At seven o'clock in the evening, Xiang Huan and the manager of the furniture store accompanied people from the headquarters to [Sister Jin's barbecue restaurant].
This is a high-end barbecue restaurant in Lincheng, and the owner is called Sister Jin.
Is a frequent visitor to [Fu Huan].
Knowing that Xiang Huan was coming, Sister Jin went to the private room to greet her personally and also gave her the best meat in the store, which was a great honor to Xiang Huan.
When Sister Jin left, Xiang Huan sent her out, but Sister Jin pulled her aside to chat.
The topic of conversation, as Xiang Huan guessed, was related to [Fu Huan].
Sister Jin said that someone recently contacted her and said that a new place similar to [Fu Huan] will be opened in Lincheng soon, and they wanted to invite her to go and experience it.
Xiang Huan smiled and said yes, but felt awkward in his heart. It seemed that someone was trying to steal the business. It was true.
Sister Jin said that she took it seriously as soon as she heard it and wanted to help Xiang Huan find out who the boss was there.
As a result, nothing could be asked.
Xiang Huan understood Sister Jin's intention and said thank you very gratefully. Then he took Sister Jin's arm and said coquettishly that he would have a new person here soon.
Sister Jin patted the back of her hand and said, don't worry, I will definitely not go to another house. I will notify her as soon as possible when the new guy comes.
Before going back to the private room, Xiang Huan contacted his mother Pan Ning first, briefly shared the news he heard from Sister Jin, and asked what to do.
Pan Ning said to let her think about it, and also asked Xiang Huan to keep a low profile recently and pay more attention. Finally, he emphasized that the most important thing for Xiang Huan now is to establish a relationship with Chengye.
Returning to the private room, Xiang Huan opened the door and found that there was someone else at the table.
She is a female clerk in a furniture store. She is young and good-looking, and her sales performance is good. She is accompanying the person from the headquarters this time in the store.
However, she was not asked to come to dinner in the evening. The people from the headquarters asked about it and knew that she would not come but did not say anything.
Xiang Huan came in and saw the female clerk sitting next to someone from the headquarters, and he had an idea.
This made her unhappy, and the news she just heard made her feel even worse.
A male manager in his thirties came to the headquarters. Xiang Huan could tell from the first time he interacted with him that he was a lecher.
She didn't want this guy to cause trouble with her employees.
When he was about to finish eating, Xiang Huan called the female clerk to go to the bathroom with him. On the way, he told her to go first. He had to talk to someone from the headquarters later, so it was not convenient for others to be present.
The female clerk was a smart person, she knew everything right away, and she left a little embarrassed.
The male manager from the headquarters was a little unhappy when he saw that the female clerk had not returned and heard that she had already left.
Before leaving, I insisted on having a drink with Xiang Huan, and even said that I was going to sing a song before going back to the hotel to rest.
Xiang Huan gave him face and drank wine, but she didn't want to accompany him when singing, so she planned to send people to the singing place to make arrangements before leaving.
She chose a good KTV and went there with the store manager. On the way, she received a WeChat message from Narino asking her if she was done with the entertainment.
Xiang Huan said that after eating, he still wanted to sing.
After returning home, she suddenly thought that the house she was going to was once owned by the Xu family, and it was once the highest-end property in Lincheng.
After the collapse of the Xu family, this store has a new owner and is said to have been renovated.
The car was parked in the underground garage. Xiang Huan asked the store manager to go up first to make arrangements. He accompanied the male manager from the headquarters and arrived shortly afterwards.
When waiting for the elevator to go upstairs, Xiang Huan noticed that the male manager of the headquarters seemed to stand behind her on purpose, and he was a little close, beyond the safe distance.
The elevator didn't arrive for a long time. The male manager muttered something there and then suddenly asked Xiang Huan if he had a boyfriend.
"Not yet." Xiang Huan replied with a smile.
The male manager smiled and said that he didn't expect that a girl as charming as Xiang Huan could stay alone in an empty room.
"What a waste."
Xiang Huan looked at the elevator door, kept smiling and did not answer, and his body tensed up.
The elevator finally arrived, and Xiang Huan turned sideways to let the male manager go in first.
As a result, when he passed by Xiang Huan, his body tilted and he felt a little dizzy as he muttered something. His arm brushed against Xiang Huan's chest and he walked into the elevator.
The corners of Xiang Huan's mouth drooped.
She also entered the elevator, glanced at the male manager who was testing her with his eyes, and stood next to him.
They were going to the eighth floor. Xiang Huan reached out and pressed the floor button. When he took it back, the male manager held his wrist.
She didn't break free immediately. She turned around and stared at the male manager, asking if she had drunk too much. If not, she shouldn't go upstairs to sing.
"Man, you can't say you can't do it...but you can do it if you don't sing. Please accompany me back to the hotel and help me sober up."
The male manager has completely let himself go.
Xiang Huan glanced at the floor indicator light and had reached the seventh floor. He shook off the male manager's dirty hands and picked up his mobile phone.
The elevator reached the eighth floor and the door opened.
The sound of music rang in my ears, and a waiter stood at the elevator door to greet guests. When he saw Xiang Huan and the male manager, he warmly said good evening and welcomed you.
The male manager suddenly leaned into Xiang Huan's ear and said, "It's okay if you don't go to the hotel. You can also stay in the private room later."
Xiang Huan looked calm, walked out of the elevator, and called the store manager to ask which private room he was in.
Seeing that he was not decisively rejected, the male manager thought he had succeeded and followed Xiang Huan proudly, looking forward to the next fun time.
The store manager came out of a private room to greet them. Xiang Huan turned around and smiled and told the male manager that she would go to the bathroom first and be back soon.
"No! You want to run away, but you can't!" The male manager shouted and grabbed Xiang Huan to prevent her from leaving.
The store manager didn't know what happened and looked at this scene in surprise.
The male manager's movements were quite nimble. Before he finished speaking, he had already pulled Xiang Huan into the private room.
Xiang Huan stumbled and fell on the sofa in the private room.
