Tao Zi was dragged into the publisher's car by Xiaohe, and went to a certain hotel for dinner. It was said that it was a celebration banquet, and the boss of the publishing company would also come.

Tao Zi is not familiar with the publishing industry at all, there is only Xiaohe in the middle, all the publishing matters are represented by Xiaohe, and he only writes books. He doesn't know the boss of the publishing house or anything, so Xiaohe takes him to the hotel.

However, she has lived in this city for so many years, and she still knows this restaurant, which was opened by Zuo Chenyuan...

Her heart skipped a beat, she felt a strange feeling, but, being held up by Xiao He, there was no turning back.

He secretly comforted himself, and brushed away the strangeness in his heart, he must be nervous...

While thinking, Lin Zhi sent a text message: Happy birthday, baby girl.I will not come to Beijing to accompany you, have fun!

Tao Zi raised his eyebrows, Lin Zhi meant to let her and Luo Dongqin have fun in Beijing, right?Lin Zhi's thoughts on matching her and Luo Dongqin have not yet ceased...

Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered that she came with Luo Dongqin, and she had been busy all day, and had already forgotten Luo Dongqin...

Just as she was thinking, Luo Dongqin called, and she quickly answered, "Hello."

"Tao, is the book fair going well?" Luo Dongqin's voice came.

"Well, it's pretty good." She remembered that she had promised Luo Dongqin to celebrate her birthday together, and it seemed that she was going to be obsolete.

"Then... is it over now? Where is it?" Luo Dongqin asked again.

Tao Zi hesitated slightly, "Well...we still have dinner with the publishing company, so..."

"Oh, I understand. I'll wait for you at the hotel later." Luo Dongqin's voice seemed relaxed.

"Hey! Hurry up!" Xiaohe greeted and urged her from the front.

"En!" She simply agreed, put away her phone, and walked towards Xiaohe.

"It's just the two of us at the end, look at you dawdling!" Xiaohe pulled her and walked to the second floor.

"Wait, I'll go to the bathroom first." One afternoon... Tao Zi was so embarrassed... "Xiaohe, please wait for me here!" Otherwise, she will wait for the next person to break in, and she will not know anyone well. , how embarrassing it must be...

When Tao Zi came out of the bathroom, she happened to see Xiaohe talking to several people. One of them, she recognized as Zuo Chenyuan and his wife, had met on certain occasions when they were the daughter-in-law of the Ning family. It can be said that she is facing the wind, her temperament and demeanor are not inferior to Zuo Chenyuan's, but when it comes to the delicacy of her facial features, she is even better than Zuo Chenyuan, and a woman is also rare and dazzlingly beautiful, so people don't notice her The light is hard.

Seeing her coming out, Xiaohe waved her hand and said hello, "Tao, come quickly."

She walked over, and Xiaohe pulled her to introduce, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Tong, this is the author of "Potala to Heaven."

"Hey, we know each other! Tao Zi, is that right?" The one Xiaohe called Mr. Lu was Zuo Chenyuan's wife, Lu Enci, who greeted her with a smile at this moment.

Tao Zi never knew that the company that published the book for her was the company of Chen An's sister-in-law that both Ning Zhenqian and Luo Dongqin had mentioned to recommend to her.

"Hello." She didn't know how to address Lu Enci, she used to meet as Ning Zhenqian's wife.

"When did you meet? Why didn't I know?" said the unbelievably beautiful woman.

"Heh! Come on, let's get to know the real boss of our company, Tong Yinian and Tong Dong, I'm just a handyman! This is her husband, Comrade Lu Xiangbei who is so handsome that everyone hates him, my younger brother." Lu Enci has a lively personality, a little Naughty.

Lu Xiangbei and Tong Yinian, these two names have been heard before, but this is the first time to meet a real person, and his two babies have already been taught.

Tong Yinian looked more dignified, but when they met for the first time, he looked at her with a strange look, smiled and extended his hand, "Hi, nice to meet you."

"Hello." Although Tong Yinian was full of aura, Tao Zi was neither humble nor overbearing, and shook her hand with a smile.

A few people were talking, and there was a shout, "Brother! Sister-in-law! Oh, Brother Lu, Sister Nian! It's so neat today!"

All the people turned their heads following the voice, only to see Zuo Chenan and Ning Zhenqian walking towards this side.

Tao Zi stood at the innermost end, but it didn't affect his tall and thin figure crashing into her sight. This time, she saw it clearly, and she suddenly discovered that when he was thinner than Zuo Chen'an, in her impression , Zuo Chenan has always looked like a thin, frail scholar.

And he came over with a gloomy expression, and she subconsciously hid behind Xiaohe.

Zi Xiaofang Car Club. "Chen'an! Xiao Zhen!" Zuo Chenyuan greeted, "Today your sister-in-law and your sister-in-law's company are having a celebration, and we're having dinner here, you two come together!"

"Okay! It just saved me a fortune!" Zuo Chen'an agreed with a smile, without asking Ning Zhenqian's opinion.

Tao Zi's heart skipped a beat, want to have dinner with him?She vaguely felt that there was something mysterious about it.

And finally, Ning Zhenqian discovered her existence, the dark light froze slightly in his gloomy eyes, and in a split second, as if he didn't recognize her, he turned his eyes away.

"Let's go, let's go in for dinner." Zuo Chen'an exchanged glances with the others, and pushed Ning Zhenqian into the private room on the second floor.

The company reserved the entire second floor as the venue for the dinner, and they alone entered this small private room.

Ever since Ning Zhenqian appeared, Tao Zi's eyes had been glued to him, until he entered the private room with Zuo Chen'an without any expression on his face, she felt that it was really strange and embarrassing for her to stand here like this...

This is their private room, and Xiaohe and she should go to another place to be with the author and editor, but the moment they turned around, Lu Enci stopped them, "Xiaohe, Taozi, why don't you Come in?"

Xiaohe's face brightened, she obviously didn't expect the boss to ask them to sit together, and she whispered in Tao Zi's ear, "Tao, I'm so lucky! I'm so lucky to have dinner with the boss! Do you know? Such an opportunity is so rare! Lu Enci Tong Yinian and Tong Yinian started this company purely for fun, and didn't spend too much time here. Most of the affairs are managed by the editor-in-chief. I was flattered when they talked to me just now! I thought they didn't care at all. Meet my little editor!"

Yeah?Tao Zi listened, feeling even more strange...

They were the last to enter the private room, and the seats were already taken. There were only two vacant seats beside Ning Zhenqian, so Xiaohe dragged her to the vacant seats.

Seeing that Xiaohe was about to sit next to Ning Zhenqian, Chen'an's sister-in-law Lu Enci suddenly said, "Xiaohe, let's change seats. The air conditioner here is too cold, so I'm not comfortable these two days." After finishing speaking, she said Come over quickly, and sit where Tao Zi was supposed to sit...

The boss wants to change seats, how dare Xiaohe say "no"?Dian Dian ran over.

So, Tao Zi had no choice but to sit beside Ning Zhenqian...

Opposite them, Tong Yinian happened to be sitting, Tong Yinian looked at this scene, why does it feel like deja vu?It seems that many years ago, when she and Lu Xiangbei had conflicts, Duo'er made such a mistake.She suddenly realized that the encounter just now was like this, the so-called coincidence was indeed man-made, why are all the tricks for harming friends in the world the same?

Tao Zi sat beside Ning Zhenqian, feeling an oppressive aura oppressing half of her arm, her right hand couldn't be stretched out to eat, and he was also sitting, motionless.

She couldn't help but think of the first time she married into the Ning family, every meal was a torture, just because of his and Ning Jinping's big black faces, but even then, she could still eat happily at that time, not like now, like a choke in her throat ...

"Hey, why don't Taotao and Ningzi eat?" Lu Enci asked with a smile, "Is the food not to your liking?"

"No, it's not..." Tao Zi hurriedly said, holding up his chopsticks helplessly, reaching for the dish closest to him.

At the same time, Ning Zhenqian also moved the chopsticks, and the chopsticks of the two landed on the same place at the same time. The back of her hand inadvertently rubbed lightly on his fingers, like an electric current passing through, and there was a soft "click", It was her chopsticks that fell...

But Ning Zhenqian only felt the nephrite-like coolness rubbed against his fingers, and after the numbness passed, his arms stopped still.

Lu Enci looked at this scene with a funny face, and joked, "Ningzi, do you have static electricity on your hands or something? It shocked everyone!"

Tao Zi's face turned red when he was told this, and he looked at him out of the corner of his eye, but he saw that he had retracted his chopsticks, his face was always dark, calm, and his hands were calm and unhurried.

Tao Zi's heart was full of slightly sour water marks, which had already passed away, but a certain place in her own heart was still holding on...

The waiter brought another pair of chopsticks, she smiled lightly, "Thank you." As if Lu Enci's joke just now had nothing to do with her.

Except for her and Xiaohe, all the people here are acquaintances. Everyone chatted and laughed, and talked very lively while drinking.

But she and Ning Zhenqian just bury their heads in boredom.

Suddenly, someone called her name, and she looked up, and it turned out to be that handsome guy who was so handsome that everyone was angry with him, who wanted to pour her wine.

She has stopped drinking...

So he quickly waved his hands, "Sorry, I don't drink."

"Then... don't force it, it is immoral to force a lady to drink." Lu Xiangbei smiled, and poured for Ning Zhenqian.

Ning Zhenqian also didn't drink. Seeing that the column of wine had poured into his glass, he hurriedly used his hand to block it, but accidentally knocked down the wine glass, and the wine in the glass spilled out, winding down the table into a A small stream flowed towards Tao Zi.

Tao Zi was afraid that the wine might spill on his clothes, so he stood up quickly, and in his haste, he rummaged through her bag.

When answering the phone before, because of Xiaohe's urging, the bag was not closed properly. At this time, it fell to the ground, and the contents inside were dumped out. The first thing that rolled out was the diamond ring box that Luo Dongqin gave her last night. On the ground, flipped open, the diamond ring shone under the light.

Ning Zhenqian's fingers were condensed with alcohol, and he felt his fingertips were icy cold, and the icy cold quickly rushed to his heart along the nerves and blood vessels, and his heart was also icy cold...

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Lu Xiangbei thought it was his fault for pouring the wine, and as the host, he apologized repeatedly.

"It's okay, I was careless." Ning Zhenqian wiped off the wine on his fingers with a paper towel, but he couldn't wipe off the coolness, pretending he didn't see anything, his heart ached from the cold...

"Then... give Ning Zi another cup?" Lu Xiangbei asked again.

"Okay!" Ning Zhenqian replied decisively.I haven't had a drink for a long time, but at this moment, I just want to get drunk, and I just want the hot and bitter feeling to pass through my stomach...

Tao Zi watched the bright white liquid dripping into his cup, and his heart was tightened by the dripping sound. Is this how he lives?No wonder she's so thin, no wonder her eyes are swollen...

She watched coldly, and even forgot to pick up her bag and ring...

In the end, Lu Enci, who was still sitting beside her, picked it up for her and stuffed it back into her arms.

She was stunned and forgot to say thank you...

Everyone here began to toast Ning Zhenqian in turn. Except for Xiaohe and her, the three men and two women seemed to be good wine drinkers. The wheel tactics, three cups each, took turns, and it was clear that he was being punished. However, he never refuses anyone who comes, he does what people say, and he doesn't take a break in the middle...

It's been a long time since I've had a drink, and I'm still on an empty stomach. When the first sip of hot food rushed into my stomach, from my throat to my stomach, it was hot all the way, as if all the pain was burning at this moment, and my internal organs were twisted together.

It hurts...

He secretly sighed, but the pain was so satisfying...

Therefore, when the second cup came again, he did not refuse it.Just this time, indulge this time, let him be drunk, let him be tired, let him not have to pretend that it doesn't matter...

He who was intoxicated by the wine, what he didn't see was that every time he drank a cup, Tao Zi's eyes became tighter, and when the tenth cup was empty, Tao Zi couldn't help it anymore, and pressed his hand cup, covered the mouth of the cup with his hand, and said coldly, "You can't drink any more!"

His eyes were red, and his consciousness was completely controlled by the cold liquid that was enough to make his mind burn. He swung her hand away vigorously, and a hoarse voice squeezed out from his throat, "It's none of your business!"

Tao Zi was lifted by him and almost fell off the chair. Seeing the bright white liquid poured into his cup again, her heart tightened, and her cheeks were cool, as if the wine hadn't flowed into the cup, but in her It was running down her face, she quietly touched it with her hand, her fingertips were wet, and at some point, she had already shed tears... 13acv.

Seeing that the trouble was almost over, Chen An came out to smooth things over, "Forget it, the boss is almost drunk, Sister Wanwan, Sister Nian, let's go next door to respect the other authors and employees."

Lu Enci said yes again and again, and pulled her husband up to take a cup.

Only Xiaohe didn't know what was going on in front of her eyes, her eyes wandered between the weeping Tao Zi and the man in black beside her, she didn't know why, until Lu Enci called her, "Xiaohe, come to toast with us .”

The boss of the company yelled that Xiaohe, who was confused about the situation, hurriedly got up and followed him. Before going out, he looked back at Tao Zi, still confused.

"Employees, authors, because of you, our company has been able to..."

gone, all gone...

There were only two of them left in the banquet, and Tong Yinian and Lu Enci's words of thanks to the staff and author came vaguely. can't eat...

And he, lying on the table, didn't know if he was already deeply drunk, silently...

Sitting like this, the dishes gradually became cold, but still remained motionless.

She didn't know what to do.There seems to be a voice in my heart saying, let's go, let's go...

However, facing him who was intoxicated, he couldn't move his footsteps. Afterwards, it was as if he had entered a magic barrier, his body sat motionless, and his soul disappeared in the gradually silent night...

It wasn't until her cell phone rang again that she woke up from her fantasy, her face was wet and full of tears...

Wiping the back of her hand vigorously, she answered the phone with a choked voice, "Hello."

"Hey, Tao, haven't you finished eating yet? It's almost late at night." Luo Dongqin's gentle voice came.

Tao Zi suddenly noticed that the hotel was completely silent, and none of the people who had gone out before came back...

"Oh, it will be fine soon." She said lightly, wiping the remaining tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Where is it? Shall I pick you up?" Luo Dongqin asked again.

"No need, I'll come back by myself!" She glanced at him beside him, as if he had fallen asleep.

"Okay then, be careful." He never forced her to do anything, and when she said no, he would not answer.

"Well, bye." She hung up the phone in a hurry, ran outside to find other people, and sure enough, none of them disappeared, and hurriedly called the waiter who was standing aside, "Where are the people here? Where's your boss Zuo?"
