《A Cute Woman and Her Clingy Husband》C29. Encounter
Advertisement
Director Zhang, with several principal officials, arrives late. He sees Su Ni, nods slightly but does not say much.
"I hear that Director Zhang has always studied orchids. Just recently, I got a basin of orchids, but I don't know how it looks. So I bring it specially to ask for advice."
It is not until Su Ni has a pot of orchids with gilt-edged leaves brought up that Director Zhang has a glimmer of light in his eyes and becomes excited.
"This is gold orchid. Su always has a good eye. There are many gilts on this blade."
Director Zhang's eyes do not move away from the orchid. Su Ni and Ruan Yichen exchange their eyes, and they smile slightly.
For the sake of this basin of gold orchid, Su Ni has not only spent all his money, but also spent a lot of energy. Today, it seems that all her efforts have not been in vain.
"I don't understand, either. I just think it looks nice. But I can not know more about it like director Zhang." Su Ni says in a modest way.
"You're right. This gold orchid is very special. First, you can look at this gilt-edged leaves, like a golden belt. Yours is particularly obvious. Look!"
Director Zhang speaks with fervour and assurance. He is right. Su Ni and other people gather around him, nodding one by one to cater to Zhang.
In particular, after Su Ni raises a few particularly valuable questions, Director Zhang even starts to talk. The name of Su Ni also changes from Mrs. Su to Su.
After Su Ni proposes to send orchids to Director Zhang who refuses. With other people, she says that good things have to be sent to people who know the goods. After an insincere decline, Director Zhang reluctantly accepts it.
But looking at the satisfied smile on Director Zhang's face, Su Ni knows he is the right one. Later, with frequent toasts, the party is also very lively. After many rounds of drinking, Director Zhang also gives Su Ni a warning with a red face. "Su, you are in a difficult situation."

"Director Zhang, we only drink today, we do not talk about work." Su Ni drinks another glass of wine and Ruan Yichen serves as a green leaf. Seeing Su Ni's remark, he frowns slightly.
"You are a frank man!" Director Zhang bursts out laughing, sips the wine and lowers his voice in the excitement. He says to them. "Many people find me for this Nanjiawan project, but I can’t decide it alone."
Su Ni becomes careful, but she does not show it. Director Zhang gives her a sidelong glance, smells of alcohol and continues, "Don’t be disappointed. I can't be the boss, but I can show you a way ...”
A few minutes later, a trace of joy flashes across Su Ni's eyes. "Director Zhang, then I will thank you on behalf of my team."
"For what?" But Director Zhang stares, looking very sober. Su Ni's eyes turn and she smiles in front of everyone. "Thank you for the orchid tonight, of course. Director Zhang takes care of it, and I can rest assured."
Director Zhang smiles. "This ... Come and see if you are free."
Midway, Su Ni goes out to the bathroom to get some air. Ruan Yichen follows closely and asks about the previous things. Su Ni does not intend to hide. "Director Zhang said that the reason why he cannot be the master is that the Nanjiawan project is in the Gu's business circle. There are too many stakeholders involved and too many people who want it. However, Gu is the most important one among them."
"So is it in your pocket?" Ruan Yichen's eyes narrow.
Su Ni feels embarrassed, but she doesn’t show any of that. She says, "The relationship between Gu Zechen and I is not made public in Nancheng. It is normal for Director Zhang not to know that. However, this involves Gu and several subsidiaries under his name. I am afraid that he is not the only one who can make the decision. "

"This is also normal." Ruan Yichen understands.
"However, if Yin’s family and our company are on the same starting line, there is still a chance." Su Ni adds.
"Sorry!" Su Ni suddenly covers her mouth and rushes to the bathroom to retch. Ruan Yichen follows closely, remembering that she refuses nobody on the table. He looks complicated. If her identity is public, naturally it is much more convenient for her to act in Nancheng. She doesn’t need to put all her energy into the party.
"Don't drink the rest of the wine, I'll take care of it." Ruan Yichen says.
"I'm fine. I'm used to it." Su Ni wipes her mouth and says with no concern. "There is a saying in China: If we're still good friends, bottom up! You have just come back and you still need to know more about the wine table culture."
Ruan Yichen is amused by her words. Seeing that she does not have enough tissue, he hands over the handkerchief. "I have learned much today. Don't worry, I can handle the rest."
"That's fine. We can work together. Even if there are another Director Wang and Director Li, there will be no problem." Su Ni smiles and pats Ruan Yichen on the shoulder like a friend. Today, he does not wear glasses, but he is somewhat more elegant than usual. At the end of the corridor, Su Ni seems to hear a familiar voice. She can’t help looking back. Gu Zechen is on his phone, also looking at her.
"Why is he here?" Su Ni frowns. She forgets her hand is still on Ruan Yichen’s
shoulder. To outsiders, they are very intimate. Before the phone is finished, Gu Zechen hangs up the phone and walks straight towards Su Ni. Su Ni suddenly feels that her throat is a little dry and her legs are a little stiff. "Gu, what a coincidence. You are here."
"Madam is in good spirits. You were injured yesterday and has a social party
today. It is really hard work. People who don't know about it will think that my family has been harsh on you, Su Ni!" He says, pulling Su Ni up and holding her shoulder tightly.
"There is no such thing." Seeing Gu Zechen, Su Ni doesn’t want to drink any
more. She guiltily looks up at Gu Zechen. He is obviously smiling, but there isn’t warmth.
Su Ni holds back the pain from her shoulder and lowers her stance in front of the crowd. She says softly: "As you know, the Nanjiawan project is under way, and Director Zhang has a lot to deal with."
"Is it?" Gu Zechen looks at the box in which Su Ni stays, but he doesn’t say anything. Ruan Yichen touches his nose by the side. Although he does not greet Gu Zechen, he can feel this man's hostility. Now, this man is jealous.
"Mrs. Su, you have drunk too much and you have vomited. Go back to rest first. I'll cope with it in the second half." Ruan Yichen laughs.
"No way." Without thinking about it, Su Ni rebuffs him and says firmly. "Director Zhang is won over by me with great difficulty. No mistakes can be made." Ruan Yichen has some headache. Doesn’t Su Ni see that Gu Zechen face is black? Even as an ordinary man, if he sees his woman socializes with other men outside, he will not be happy.
"Mrs. Su, you are too dismissive of me. I will deal with it." Ruan Yichen says, and keeps winking at Su Ni.
