SFS Chapter 215 Even she had such an embarrassing day!
Chapter 215 Even she had such an embarrassing day!
Liang Liangwei carried the items she had bought back to the apartment door. As she pressed her fingerprint to open the door, her phone rang.
After entering the room, she put her things on the shoe cabinet, took out her phone, and opened WeChat while changing her shoes.
Yan Zhixu: [Was my lighter in your car? I can't find it.]
Liang Liangwei glanced at the coffee table and remembered that Lan Yin had seen the lighter in the car during the day, so she put it in her bag. Knowing that he would come over tonight, she took it out and put it on the coffee table when she got back.
She smiled, pursing her lips, and replied, "Yes, I've brought it up for you."
After sending the message, I put away my phone, picked up the bag and walked to the dining table, taking out the items one by one until I reached the very back... a few packs of T-shirts.
Thinking about how long I hesitated before quickly buying a few coins like a thief and running away when I passed by the vending machine, my cheeks couldn't help but turn red.
I never imagined she'd have such an embarrassing day, having to buy a T-shirt for a man...
If those two witches in the studio find out, she'll never be able to live a normal life again.
She held all the other items in her arms, except for the two T-shirts, which she held between her fingers. She walked to the bedside table and tossed them haphazardly into the drawer.
Then he turned and went into the bathroom, putting the items in their proper places.
The supermarket pajamas are of average quality, but the pure cotton ones are soft and gentle on the skin. They just haven't been washed yet, so I'm sorry to have to put up with that.

Inside the restaurant, after a few rounds of drinks, the group shifted their conversation from casual chatter to more serious business.
Fu Yankai looked at Yan Zhixu and said, "...So, Huaxing really hopes to have the opportunity to participate in President Yan's project. President Yan said this morning that he would consider it. Could you give me a definite answer?"
He went to negotiate on behalf of Huahang, but only received a response of "we will consider it." The bank manager was quite displeased with him for this and asked him to find a way to contact Yan Zhixu again, which led to Huahang's decision to host the dinner tonight.
Dong Chaoran was the one who made the connection for him, so he was naturally happy to see it happen, but he couldn't say anything, and only focused his gaze on the man opposite him.
Yan Zhixu flicked the ash from his cigarette in the bone dish, didn't look at Fu Yankai, just smiled slightly and said, "To be honest, a lot of banks have been contacting me lately. If I have to share the business with each one, my investment amount might not be enough."
With too many monks and too little porridge, and merchants prioritizing profit, they can only choose the best option; those who understand, understand.
Fu Yankai quickly replied, "...We can discuss the ** aspect."
Yan Zhixu paused for a moment before looking up at him and saying, "What I said this morning about considering it means I really will consider it. It's not just Vice President Fu Yan. But I've been really busy lately, and it's impossible to finalize everything on the same day. After I discuss it with the company's board of directors, I will definitely give Vice President Fu an answer. I can only promise that Huaxing Bank will be one of the banks being considered."
This was already the most definite answer he could give, although it wasn't a formal reply.
Fu Yankai knew where the bottom line was, so he didn't press the matter further. He raised his glass and said, "Thank you for your promise, President Yan. I'll toast you."
Yan Zhixu also picked up his wine glass, tapped it lightly on the table, and finished the remaining half glass of red wine.
Dong Chaoran smiled and said, "Then I'll be the witness to your cooperation. I hope your collaboration will be successful."
Fu Yankai: "Thank you, Chairman."
Yan Zhixu: "Thank you for Chairman Dong's kind words."
The dinner ended at 9:30, and the group came out of the private room.
Yan Zhixu walked steadily down the corridor, showing no signs of drunkenness. Chairman Dong also appeared calm and collected. Fu Yankai, on the other hand, was clearly intoxicated, with his bank subordinates protecting him as he walked.
Chairman Dong looked at him, shook his head and laughed: "How come your alcohol tolerance is still so low? You're already unsteady on your feet after just a few drinks."
He then looked at Yan Zhixu and said, "Mr. Yan, you have quite a good capacity for alcohol. You said at the beginning that you couldn't drink baijiu, so I thought you weren't a good drinker. I didn't expect you to be able to drink red wine so well. You've had at least five glasses."
Yan Zhixu chuckled lightly: "I won't embarrass myself by offering red wine to Chairman Dong."
Chairman Dong patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's a bit of a shame we didn't get to drink baijiu today. Let's make plans another time."
Yan Zhixu: "Okay."
Fu Yankai walked behind the two, listening to their laughter and chatter, and loosened his tie with some annoyance.
He was inferior to Yan Zhixu in every way, even in terms of alcohol tolerance...
They parted ways at the hotel entrance. Yan Zhixu got into the back seat of the Rolls-Royce, finally relaxed, took a deep breath, and loosened her collar.
Xu Chaofeng, who was in the front seat, knew where he was going tonight. After telling the driver the address, she turned around and looked at him, asking, "Mr. Yan, do you need me to buy you some hangover medicine?"
Yan Zhixu closed her eyes slightly: "Hmm, I'll buy a box when I pass by."
He was still clear-headed, but his face was still flushed, though not as noticeably as Fu Yankai's.
The car slowly drove out of the hotel parking lot.
Yan Zhixu dozed off for a while, and then felt the vehicle stop for a moment. Xu Chaofeng got out of the car and quickly returned.
"Mr. Yan, I've bought you some hangover medicine and water."
He opened his eyes, took the medicine and water, screwed the cap back on, threw it on the seat next to him, and closed his eyes to continue pretending to sleep.
After a while, I opened my eyes again, took out my phone, and opened WeChat in the dim light.
Seeing the woman's reply, a smile crept onto his lips as he lazily typed: 【Waiting for me?】
After waiting for a few minutes without receiving a reply, his dark eyes flickered slightly. As if remembering something, he put down his phone and looked behind the passenger seat.
There were storage bags there, usually used for temporary documents and the like. There were no documents there at the moment, but one corner was slightly bulging.
He was always the only one sitting in the back seat, so the items in the storage bag were naturally his as well.
He leaned forward and took the items out of the container.
It's a box of T-shirts. I asked Assistant Xu to buy them last time, but I didn't have a chance to go to her place again, so they didn't come in handy.
But tonight...
He chuckled and happily stuffed it into Da Yi's pocket.
His phone rang, and he picked it up to look at it.
Liang Liangwei: [I didn't wait for you; I wasn't asleep at this hour anyway. Are you done with your social engagement?]
Yan Zhixu: [Yeah, I'm on my way to you. Half an hour left. Don't sleep, wait for me.]
Half an hour later, the car stopped outside the apartment complex, and Xu Chaofeng opened the car door for Yan Zhixu.
"Mr. Yan, would you like me to accompany you upstairs?"
Yan Zhixu glanced at him: "Do I look like I'm so drunk I don't recognize my own home?"
Xu Chaofeng quickly said, "No, I was just concerned..."
Yan Zhixu: "Go back now. I'll send you a message when I get to her floor."
"Okay, Mr. Yan."
Even so, Xu Chaofeng dutifully waited in place until she received a message from her superior five minutes later before getting into the car and leaving.
Liang Liangwei was scrolling through her phone when she heard a knock on the door. She went out of her room to open it.
Outside the door, Yan Zhixu stood tall against the door frame.
Their eyes met, and an ambiguous atmosphere instantly filled the air between them.
