Prohibition of losing contact

Pei You brushed past Liu Xin, and then sat next to Zhou Qingbai.

"What did you tell him?" Pei You asked softly, "I think his expression is a little strange."

"Knock him." Zhou Qingbai smiled and sipped his wine, then picked from the fruit plate and handed Pei You a small piece of honeydew melon.

"He tested me just now and wanted to pull me on board." Zhou Qingbai smiled and said, "I didn't agree."

"Boat?" Pei You didn't realize it for a while, and asked, "What ship?"

Speaking of this, Zhou Qingbai reacted belatedly, adjusted his posture slightly, lowered his voice, and said what happened just now in a few words.

"Be careful later." Zhou Qingbai said, "I think there is something wrong with his 'business'."

Zhou Qingbai felt that the "good business" that Liu Xin was talking about would not be a simple pie-he would not tell such an obvious lie, after all, once Zhou Qingbai was really at odds with Zhou Cangshan, one day he would The rich second generation, who was thinking about how to start anew at the end of the day, had a high chance of biting the bait.

Whether it is bribery or coaxing, Liu Xin ultimately wants to draw Zhou Qingbai into his camp, so he will never release a blank check, leaving hidden dangers for the future "cooperation" between himself and Zhou Qingbai.

"I believe he has some means of making money." Zhou Qingbai said softly, "I just don't know what it is."

Liu Xin is a very cautious person, and he didn't show any flaws in the confrontation just now.Zhou Qingbai himself didn't want to continue making false claims with him, so he would naturally miss this part of the news.

"I know." Pei You said, "I know it well, and I will pay attention."

Zhou Qingbai is not very good at things like investment, so it's not difficult for himself. He is like a logistics support soldier, doing his best to provide Pei You with more help, and then watching him go to the front line.

He believed in Pei You's professionalism, and also believed in Pei You's own judgment.

Three or two minutes later, Liu Xin came back from the outside after making the phone call.His state seemed a little more relaxed than when he went out, as if he had recovered from that short state of vigilance.

A few vice presidents were still ordering songs and drinking, chatting with Zhou Qingbai from time to time, Zhou Qingbai accepted all the orders one by one, and didn't mention anything about the school.

There is a limit to temptation, a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake, and Zhou Qingbai is also afraid of making Liu Xin anxious, so he naturally knows what it means to accept it when it's good.

However, Liu Xin didn't bring up the topic of cooperation again. He seemed to accept his fate, and he didn't seem to have any other hopes for Zhou Qingbai. The girl came over to toast.

He was like a clam retracted into its shell, vigilant and sensitive, he would never show his feet again if he missed a hit, and just toasted to Zhou Qingbai blindly.

Zhou Qingbai had a hard time resisting his sudden enthusiasm. After drinking two glasses with him, he couldn't take it anymore.

"Zhou Qingbai." Pei You seemed to have been watching him from the sidelines. Seeing that he was frowning imperceptibly, he stretched out his hand to hold his wrist, and said in a flat tone, "Drink less."

"Mr. Pei doesn't have to be so strict." Before Zhou Qingbai spoke, Liu Xin stepped forward and said with a smile: "President Zhou is also an adult, come out to play, it's okay to have a drink or two."

"I accept it with good intentions." Pei You has his own control rhythm, he usually doesn't care about other people's ridicule, so he is rarely blocked by such unnutritious words of persuasion.

"There's business tomorrow." Pei You said in a businesslike manner, "It's very troublesome when you're drunk."

Zhou Qingbai didn't speak. He observed Liu Xin for a while without any trace, and he was sure that the other party had died down. He couldn't help but feel a little bored, so he took the opportunity of Pei You's interruption to put down his wine glass and prepared to go out to get some air.

"Where is Mr. Zhou going?" But Liu Xin seemed to be very sensitive to his movements, and asked with a smile, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"I'm not going anywhere." Zhou Qingbai smiled and said, "Go to the bathroom, you can do what you want."

"The restroom is at the end of the corridor, turn left." Liu Xin rang the bell, and while calling a waiter to lead the way, he said to Zhou Qingbai: "The terrain of this clubhouse is a bit curved, don't get lost."

Zhou Qingbai drank too much wine, and felt a little dizzy when he stood up. He turned his head and looked at Liu Xin when he heard the words, and thanked him with a half-smile.

I don't know if Liu Xin was pouring him on purpose, Zhou Qingbai drank beer and foreign wine mixed together, and when he walked out, he felt a little shaky.

The waiter sent him to the door of the bathroom and turned back. Zhou Qingbai frowned and rubbed his forehead. He leaned on the wall and entered the door and saw that the dark marble was covered with a layer of filth spit out by someone. He immediately started to feel nauseous. Almost spit it out.

He took a step back and exited the bathroom in disgust, then stood there and thought for a while, then walked towards the stairwell along the guiding arrow in the corner, thinking of changing the floor.

The clubhouse that Liu Xin chose is a typical entertainment venue. The first and second floors are KTV and nightclub venues, the third floor is a rest area and meeting room, and the fourth floor and above are the guest rooms that come with the clubhouse.

The upstairs is decorated in a retro and European style, with thick carpets on the floor, and the entire corridor is quiet, like two worlds from the downstairs.

Zhou Qingbai followed the guide signs to find the bathroom, and when he came out after solving his physical needs, he heard a very slight sound of metal friction coming from the corridor, coming from far to near, coming in his direction.

The third floor is the rest area. Zhou Qingbai originally thought it was room service, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He just turned on the tap and washed his hands.

It's just that the cart outside didn't go any further, but soon stopped at a location not too far away.

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Qingbai heard a very young male voice outside.

"Hey, you're sure you haven't misplaced it." The male voice said, "You don't want to check again, what if you misplaced it?"

His voice sounded very young, even with a sense of youthfulness that had not changed. His tone was hesitant and worried, and he sounded uneasy.

The hand washing area of ​​the bathroom is a semi-public area, without a door, Zhou Qingbai was standing by the wall at the corner, and could vaguely hear the voices of those two people talking.

Zhou Qingbai was not in the habit of eavesdropping on people's conversations. He straightened up slightly, and was about to move in a little, when he heard the people outside talking again.

"Oh, no." An older male voice soon sounded outside, complaining impatiently: "You have asked me several times—Mr. Liu said that he is the only one drinking orange juice in the box, you Just open the wine separately."

Zhou Qingbai keenly caught a certain key word, he paused slightly, raised his hand very lightly, and tightened the faucet bit by bit.

Mr. Liu—Is it Liu Xin?Zhou Qingbai thought, Pei You seems to have ordered orange juice just now.

Without the interference of the sound of water, the voice outside became a little clearer than before. The young boy seemed to have been scolded, and he lowered his voice a little aggrieved, with a little hesitant procrastination in the end.

"I see." He said, "I'm just worried... Do you think it's okay to do this? They're two people."

"Worry about the fart." The man said impatiently: "That young man doesn't understand anything, as long as you get the other one done, let him find any excuses to fool that young man—alright, hurry up Come on, I'll wait for you downstairs first."

Young master, Zhou Qingbai thought again, this should be talking about me.

Zhou Qingbai is a person who is used to hanging out in bars and nightclubs, and a few words are enough for him to hear the malicious intentions here.

The footsteps at the door of the bathroom approached and then went away. Zhou Qingbai lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, then took off the watch on his wrist, walked carefully to the door of the bathroom, and threw the watch deep into the corridor in the opposite direction with a wave of his hand.

The steel watch collided with the wooden wall, making an obvious sound. The person next door was sensitive, and subconsciously called someone, and walked there hesitantly.

Seeing the man leave, Zhou Qingbai walked out of the bathroom and went straight to the direction where he heard the voice.

After he came out, he found that there was a very narrow aisle behind the bathroom, which looked like a tool room for storing sundries. In the aisle was a small trolley for extra bills, and there were several bottles of opened drinks on it. .

A glass of freshly squeezed orange juice was placed in the corner of the car. Zhou Qingbai picked up the glass, touched the rim of the glass with his lips, and took a light sip.

Very bitter, with a bit of sour taste after reconciliation.

Zhou Qingbai has been in the bar for so many years, he knows exactly what kind of drink should taste like, and he can taste it with or without any messy things in it.

The two people who administered the medicine were probably not very experienced, and they didn't know how to hide their feet. Zhou Qingbai lifted the cup and looked at it, and saw a little white powder that hadn't completely dissolved at the bottom of the cup.

The sound of footsteps on the other side of the corridor went back and forth, Zhou Qingbai gently put the cup back on the tray, then turned and hid back in the bathroom.

The matter has come to this point, and the matter is already very clear——Liu Xin probably felt that he could no longer suppress his little trouble, so he simply stopped doing it and wanted to attack Pei You, who was difficult to deal with.

It wasn't until he stood in front of the sink again that Zhou Qingbai slowly steamed a little anger from his heart like an old computer that had been stuck and restarted.

He really has the guts, Zhou Qingbai gritted his teeth and thought, to use such indecent means.

He was afraid that Liu Xin would jump over the wall in a hurry, so the temptation was clearly neither painful nor itchy, full of loopholes, and there were ten thousand ways to deal with it.

I didn't expect him to be so ruthless, so courageous, to do it as soon as he said it.

Zhou Qingbai didn't know what Liu Xin wanted to do, but he only knew that the few words outside easily ignited his anger. He took a deep breath, only to feel that there was a fire under the ice in his chest, burning to death. His heart, liver and lungs were burning hot.

The effect of the alcohol was still rushing in his blood vessels, Zhou Qingbai took a deep breath, and turned on the tap again.

The sound of carts outside the door sounded again, and the sound of metal rubbing gradually faded away. Zhou Qingbai splashed a handful of water on his face, then took a deep breath, took out his phone from his pocket, and sent a WeChat message to Pei You.

"Are you in the box?"

Since the last "teaching session", Pei You's messages to Zhou Qingbai have been answered in seconds.As soon as Zhou Qingbai's message was sent, within two seconds, Pei You's reply jumped out of the dialog box.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

Zhou Qingbai didn't know what was wrong, he just subconsciously wanted to drag Pei You away from the potentially high-risk environment, but the situation was too urgent, with the excuse that he hadn't figured it out yet.

"I..." Zhou Qingbai lowered his eyes, tapped his fingertips on the screen, and gave an inexplicable excuse: "I suddenly want to drink grape ice, you can buy me a cup."

Zhou Qingbo paused, and added: "I want it now, very urgently."

Downstairs of the clubhouse is a nationwide chain of 24-hour convenience stores. Zhou Qingbai happened to pass by it before, so now he can only send Pei You there.

He also knew that this request was a little too much, and at first it sounded willful and inappropriate, so he squeezed the phone nervously, and quickly thought that if Pei You refused, then he should say something else.

Fortunately, Pei You didn't think too much about it, he stood up almost immediately and prepared to go out, then frowned slightly, looked at the two messages that popped up on the dialog box, and replied with some worry Said: "Are you drunk and uncomfortable?"

Zhou Qingbai was stunned for a moment, then realized that this was a good excuse, so he replied with a "hmm".

"It's so uncomfortable." He wrote in the dialog box: "Go and come back soon."

When he typed this line, Zhou Qingbai's heart was filled with anger like a storm, but when he sent Pei You's WeChat message, he still attached an emoji of a kitten rolling.

Pei You quickly replied that he knew, Zhou Qingbai put the phone on the table, then supported the cold marble slab, and slowly took a deep breath.

Reason told him that in this situation, the police should be called. Anyway, the glass of orange juice will soon appear on the table in the box. There are witnesses and physical evidence, and Liu Xin cannot deny it.

But emotionally, Zhou Qingbai only felt that he was about to be melted by that elusive anger - he subconsciously had an unreasonable desire to protect Pei You, and he really hated when someone put those complicated and dark emotions and methods on him. Pei You, so much so that he was already furious just hearing Liu Xin's arrangement.

His heart was in a mess, angry and scared, and he couldn't imagine what would happen if he ran upstairs by accident.

The minimum standard for an adult is to control emotions. Zhou Qingbai took another deep breath, as if he wanted to use this method to suppress the fire in his heart, and persuaded himself to calm down in his heart.

But today, this kind of self-control obviously failed. Zhou Qingbai looked up at the mirror in front of him, and found that the corners of his eyes were red, as if he had been scorched by fire.

His hair was still dripping wet, Zhou Qingbai looked at himself in the mirror expressionlessly for a moment, then gritted his teeth viciously.

Fuck him, Zhou Qingbai thought.

This thought was like a ball of candle under the silk thread, which almost instantly cut off Zhou Qingbai's rational strings, and ignited a prairie fire in his heart.

Zhou Qingbai straightened up, kicked the sink hard, then turned and went out without saying a word, loosening his tie.

In the private room, Liu Xin was very disturbed by Pei You's sudden departure, and was about to instruct the secretary to go out to check the situation, when the door of the private room was opened from the outside, and Zhou Qingbai strode in.

There was a strong smell of tobacco and alcohol in the room. Except for Pei You, there were not many people in the room. Zhou Qingbai looked around and saw the glass of orange juice that had been prepared on the table near the inside.

Seeing Zhou Qingbai's return, Liu Xin breathed a sigh of relief, subconsciously put on a smile on his face, and was about to get up to meet him, but saw Zhou Qingbai's sudden attack, pushed aside the secretary in front of him without saying a word, and kicked him in the chest .

The education Zhou Qingbai received from childhood was strict and decent. Even during the rebellious period, he was at most competing with himself, and almost never fought with others.

But he was so angry today that he couldn't even remember any family rules and family education.

Liu Xin was caught off guard and kicked onto the wine table by him, his fragile body subconsciously folded up, and an earth-shattering cough broke out.

The table was shaken violently by him, and the wine bottle rolled precariously to the ground, making a shocking crisp sound.

The two young girls accompanying the drink in the room burst into loud screams, mixed with the harsh electric sound from the stereo, and the scene immediately became a mess.With a blank face, Zhou Qingbai reached out to grab a beer bottle from the table, and smashed it on Liu Xin's shoulder through gritted teeth.

Liu Xin's vice presidents quickly came up to fight, the wine bottles in the room were broken, the fruit plates fell to the ground in a mess, and the floor was in a mess.

Outside the door, waiters and security guards rushed in to start a fight, but Zhou Qingbai was almost melted by his own anger, and he didn't listen to anyone, just beat Liu Xin.

I don't know how long it took—maybe it was a few minutes, or maybe only a dozen seconds, a hand suddenly stretched out from the chaotic crowd and grabbed Zhou Qingbai's wrist.

That hand was cold to the touch, with a familiar touch and irresistible force, it pulled Zhou Qingbai out of the crowd abruptly.

Caught off guard, Zhou Qingbai stumbled a few steps back, turned around, and met Pei You's anxious eyes.

"Okay, Qingbai." Pei You just came back, he didn't know what happened, he just held him tightly, and said eagerly: "Didn't you say, don't get into trouble for this kind of person."

"Can this be the same?" Zhou Qingbai was really angry, and he was so angry that he couldn't choose what to say: "This fucking bastard has set his mind on you!"
