"no, you're not stupid, of course you're not. how could you be stupid? you're smarter than all of us. otherwise you wouldn't be where you are today. " little bing immediately shook her head.

"however, everyone else thinks that the reason why i've come to this point is not because i'm smart, but because i've sold out my body."

"zhixin, other people don't know about you, so that's why they believe these rumors and spread them randomly. i know you're not that kind of person. little ice comforted her.

jiang zhixin smiled bitterly, "do you really think i care what others say?"

little bing didn't know how to reply. she naturally understood that if jiang zhixin still had someone she truly cared about in this world, then that person could only be zhou yi.

but after so many years had pa.s.sed, the relationship between zhou yi and her had always been very complicated, almost as if they were separated.

if it was said that zhou yi cared a lot about jiang zhixin, then he had pushed her into the arms of other men time and time again, making her accompany him to entertain the men who coveted her.

however, if it was said that he didn't care about her, then all these years, he had always been by her side and never left.

with such a complicated relationship between the two, no one knew what was going on between them. perhaps even they themselves didn't know.

"that... "oh zhixin, actually, i feel that director zhou really likes you. why don't you find an opportunity to have a good chat with him? if the two of us open our mouths and speak clearly, maybe …"

"maybe what?" jiang zhixin cast a sidelong glance, looking at her with her gentle and clear eyes as she asked this.

"maybe director zhou is thinking the same thing as you. one of you still has to take a step forward. isn't it pointless to keep on standing in a deadlock like this?"

hearing her words, a bitter smile appeared on jiang zhixin's face. she only lightly shook her head and did not say another word.

eight thirty in the evening.

jiang zhixin appeared in front of zhou yi wearing a very s.e.xy and sensitive low-cut fish-tailed dress.

when zhou yi saw her, he couldn't help but frown, but he didn't say anything. he only introduced the man and woman sitting across from him.

"zhixin, the person sitting opposite you is the chairman of the lido group, mr. zhu. the person beside him is the daughter of mr. zhu, miss tor."

jiang zhixin raised her gaze slightly and glanced at chairman zhu in front of her. she saw that his eyes were staring straight at her as his gaze roamed back and forth across her chest.

meanwhile, miss zhu, who was sitting beside him, looked gentle and demure.

"greetings, both of you." opening her mouth, she politely greeted him.

when chairman zhu heard her voice, he slowly came back to his senses. he smiled and nodded at her, "okay, okay. miss zhixin looks even more beautiful than he does on tv."

"mr. zhu, you're too kind." jiang zhixin said with a restrained tone.

daddy, i have an appointment with a friend later, so i won't accompany you to have dinner with mr. zhou. at this time, zhu duo'er spoke warmly to her father. just as jiang zhixin had predicted, her voice was pleasant to hear, soft as cotton.

"so it's like that …" but can you go by yourself? " chairman zhu considered for a moment before frowning and asking.

"it doesn't matter, i have no problems on my own." zhu duo'er said.

"mr. zhu, how about this? i'll send miss tor to her friend and then come back later to eat with you. what do you think?" zhou yi asked at this time.

"this... this is too troublesome, right, director zhou? " chairman zhu rolled his eyes and said with a smile that was not a smile.

"it's no trouble at all. how about this, zhixin, you accompany mr. zhu for a drink first. i'll rush over as soon as i've sent miss tor over." when zhou yi said this, he had already stood up.

jiang zhixin knew that he was intentionally letting her be alone here with this old pervert in front of her.

before coming here, she had already predicted that it wouldn't be any good for her to come here, and she even intentionally wore such a dress. she wanted to see if, under such circ.u.mstances, he would really let her come into contact with other people.

but apparently she was thinking too much, thinking too much about her place in his heart.

this time, she lost the bet again.

although it wasn't the first time, she still didn't believe that he could really give her up.

this time, she was truly awake. zhou yi was no longer the man she loved so much.

to him, she was just a chess piece that he could use.

she could help him get investors and make a lot of money.

their relationship was merely using each other.

there was something in her heart that was torn apart, and it was as painful as blood. however, on her face, she was smiling brightly, her voice was like an oriole, "boss zhou, please be at ease. i will definitely help you accompany chairman zhu."

having said so, she intentionally winked at director zhu, "mr. zhu, i don't have a lot of alcohol. please don't make me drunk."

"don't worry miss zhixin, i have the most tender feelings for the fairer s.e.x." chairman zhu nodded his head with a smile. if his daughter was not present, he would have gladly pulled jiang zhixin into his arms at this very moment.

zhu duo'er glanced at her father, but didn't show any expression on her face. it was probably because she had seen this kind of scene too many times that she was already used to it.

she nodded to zhou yi, turned around, and left the room.

zhou yi also followed her footsteps and walked outside.

once the two of them had left, the private box instantly quietened down, leaving only jiang zhixin and chairman zhu inside.

since no one else was present, chairman zhu's courage instantly increased, and he no longer cared about any influence. he first got up, walked to jiang zhixin's side, and sat down on the seat that originally belonged to zhou yi. then, he extended his hand and grabbed jiang zhixin's hand, "miss zhixin, you're just too beautiful. i used to see you in the movies and i was so surprised, i didn't think i would be more beautiful. "

however, she was unable to push him away. therefore, she could only withdraw her hand from his palm and start pouring wine from the wine bottle. "you're too kind, zhu dong. let me toast you first."

when chairman zhu saw the wine cup that she handed over, his face revealed an unfathomable smile. "that's good as well. a little wine will make the mood better. come, miss zhixin, let me toast you."

the two of them held their wine cups and clinked them against each other. then, they raised their heads and drank the wine in their cups.

"not bad, director zhou's personal collection is indeed not bad." after drinking his first mouthful of wine, chairman zhu praised.

"since it's a good wine, then let's not let it down. let's drink another cup. this second cup, i'll return it to you. thank you for your investment in our new movie." as jiang zhixin spoke, she poured herself a second cup of wine.

"little thing, i haven't agreed to invest yet. are you saying i can't refuse?" chairman zhu looked at the wine cup in his hand and laughed.
