The president is committing suicide

Ding Jiaying repeatedly stated: "How could I possibly like you?"

"You don't have to mention it so repeatedly. I have to save my face too." Qiao Shen took a sip of tea and glanced at the cakes on the table. He knew that she would like the lotus cake.

"No matter what evil intentions you have, I will never be deceived," Ding Jiaying emphasized.

Qiao Shen rolled his eyes: "I know, my eldest lady. Now people outside don't believe it, especially those two ladies."

Ding Jiaying found it incredible. For such a small matter, would it be difficult to find someone to investigate or verify it? Why did they have to make so many things happen?

Face? Is disrupting the situation like this considered saving face?

Ding Jiaying didn't understand these people's train of thought, but she knew that Xiao Yunzheng would not think of cooperating with that young lady.

Anyway, there are so many people involved in this matter, there is no point in thinking about them one by one.

What she needs to know is that she really needs to pay more attention to the things around her and be more vigilant recently.

"Anyway, thank you for your reminder." Ding Jiaying ate some pastries and drank some tea, then thought there was nothing more to talk about. She tactically glanced at her watch and prepared to retreat.

Qiao Shen pretended not to understand the hint and expressed his willingness to take her around to see the backyard that he didn't have time to see last time. Now the lotus flowers outside have withered, but he still has some here.

Ding Jiaying grew up in various famous gardens when she was young. She had seen many flowers, rocks, bamboos, trees, pavilions, towers, and water surfaces of all sizes, so she was not very interested in this.

"You seem to have quite a unique taste, and your gardening aesthetic must be great, too. It's just that I really have other things to do right now, so let's not have this false politeness between the two of us."

Ding Jiaying's tone was not as polite as before, and Qiao Shen was very happy to hear it: "Of course. There is no need for us to be polite. I will send a car to take you back now. You are welcome to my home anytime."

From the time she came in to the time she left, Qiao Shen had not mentioned the contract. So this was really a bait? Was she lured out to show that Qiao Shen and herself were not enemies but victims of the same incident?

Who knew that Qiao Shen would still have to work on this project the next day.

"This is a project for me to transition to behind the scenes. It can only succeed and cannot fail. It is also the first business for your company to expand its business scope. I am not tight on time, I will do the job slowly and carefully, and I will pay well. Where can I find such a good client?"

Xiao Mimi obviously agreed with Qiao Shen's words. Ding Jiaying felt that she couldn't control the speed of her nodding when she saw the numbers above.

Ding Jiaying didn't want to have too much contact with Qiao Shen, so she let Xiao Mimi take charge of this project, which gave Xiao Qian an opportunity.

After all, when Qiao Shen's negative news was flying all over the place, this little girl still stood firmly on his side.

Things progressed faster than expected, and the contract was finalized when the leaves on the treetops began to turn yellow.

Xiao Mimi coaxed Ding Jiaying to join the dinner.

"I'm the head of a company, but you're ordering me around like a professional dinner companion." Ding Jiaying complained and didn't want to go. This was the third time this month.

Tiredness, deep tiredness, the feeling of being exhausted and out of energy.

Socializing is not just a waste of your energy, it’s a waste of your life.

"Don't you still have Xiaoqian?"

"Xiao Qian, of course, will go. She's the main drinker."

"Are you immoral? She can't always be the one who drinks, right?"

"You don't understand Xiaoqian's strength. She becomes stronger when she meets a stronger opponent. She has no rivals."

"That won't work either. It will damage your body. If that doesn't work, call your group of puppies."

"They have done a great job and have been assigned to various projects. Little Wolf Dog has passed the master's degree exam and is studying abroad."

Those who are attracted to Xiao Mimi are all talented people. Good looks are a prerequisite, and they also have good brains.

"You are also a member of the company. The higher your position, the greater your responsibility. Shouldn't you step forward when the company needs you?"

Every word she said was a truth, and she kept praising Ding Jiaying one thing after another. Xiao Mimi's continuous output made it difficult for Ding Jiaying to cope.

During the meal, Qiao Shen sat at the host seat, Xiao Mimi entertained Xiao Qian as the deputy host, and Ding Jiaying had a low alcohol tolerance and could only sit at the last seat.

"Isn't it inappropriate to let President Ding sit at the last seat?" Qiao Shen seemed to be quite knowledgeable about seating arrangements.

Changing the position means changing the amount of alcohol consumed. Ding Jiaying would rather not have any status than increase the risk of drinking: "We are old acquaintances. There is no need to be so formal among friends. Our General Manager Xiao has arranged for someone to accompany General Manager Guo. Tonight is such a happy day, and we are drinking and talking about heroes. Of course, the order of rank is based on the amount of alcohol consumed by the Liangshan heroes. If I overestimate my own abilities, I will spoil everyone's fun."

Seeing how cautious and nervous she was after saying so many words, Qiao Shen naturally had no reason to be aggressive. He smiled slightly and said, "Boss Ding is right. We just want to have fun tonight, so just be cheerful."

The drinking party began, with glasses clinking and the atmosphere becoming lively with the presence of Xiao Mimi and Xiao Qian.

Out of courtesy, Ding Jiaying drank some bayberry wine from a white wine glass.

But as the atmosphere heated up, the atmosphere became relaxed. The small wine glass in front of her was replaced with a small cup.

She felt a little dizzy and her face was a little hot.

An hour had passed and she wanted to finish the drink and then leave.

The door was pushed open, and a hint of coolness made people feel a little clearer.

The money in Ding Jiaying's hand was taken away by someone. She belatedly said to the person in front of her: "Why are you here?"

Shen Cong sent a message saying that he would come to pick me up, but wasn’t his meeting over yet?

Faced with Ding Jiaying's puzzled expression, Shen Cong did not explain much, but raised his glass to toast everyone present.

His joining was a bit sudden, but Xiao Mimi reacted quickly. She stopped joking and introduced the people present, mainly Qiao Shen.

"This is Mr. Shen from Shen Group. Mr. Shen, this is Mr. Guo Yuan from Xingyao Media, our partner."

Two people who have met each other pretend to meet for the first time and give each other just the right amount of respect and appreciation.

No matter how many times the people at the scene had seen President Shen on TV, on their mobile phones, or downstairs in the company, there were not many opportunities for such close contact with him, and they were a little nervous for a moment.

Shen Cong did not sit down but took the wine glass and poured himself a glass of wine: "I am sorry to disturb you all. She can't drink much, I am here to take her home. I toast to everyone."

It was said that the head of the Shen Group was a ruthless character, cold, cruel, and unscrupulous. But the man standing in front of him was so elegant and handsome, completely different from the rumors.

"Mr. Ding is so lucky! Mr. Shen is so handsome!" The small exclamations from the people around her were also what Sheng Mulan was thinking, but she was too shy to look at him any longer.

Shen Cong poured himself another cup: "This cup is to thank everyone for their long-term support and care for Aying."
