When Ruoxi returned, she found that Su Yunian was no longer there. She looked around and found Zhang Chunlin opposite Ye Chen.

She sat down next to Ye Chen, took a small sip of a glass of red wine, and politely greeted Zhang Chunlin.

Zhang Chunlin is the largest materials supplier in Jiangcheng. Eighty percent of the materials used by various industries in Jiangcheng pass through his hands, making him an absolute dominant figure in the city.

Zhang Chunlin is a fat man with a huge beer belly, bigger than that of a woman carrying twins. When people tease him about it, he always laughs and replies, "My belly is the proof that I, Zhang Chunlin, have come this far. Without this belly, I wouldn't be where I am today..."

Zhang Chunlin's belly jiggled as he walked, making him look like a moving stone from a distance.

Zhang Chunlin had a weakness: he was a womanizer. When he saw a beautiful woman, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Jiang Ruoxi suddenly noticed the black gloves left behind on the spot where Su Yunian had been sitting in the courtyard.

When Zhang Chunlin saw Jiang Ruoxi arrive, his eyes widened like potatoes, as if he had seen a new spring.

Jiang Ruoxi turned to look at Ye Chen and said softly, "She's gone?"

"Probably. She left shortly after you went to the restroom, but I don't know exactly where she went. She's just as aloof and difficult to get along with as you are."

Ye Chen cautiously revealed his true thoughts, glanced at Jiang Ruoxi, and was relieved to find that her facial expression had not changed.

"Did she give this to you?"

Jiang Ruoxi pointed to the black gloves on the chair where Su Yunian had been sitting.

"This isn't for you. I don't know the specifics. How about I go find Sister Su? This is the first time I've met Sister Su. We didn't even exchange phone numbers, and it wasn't given to me specifically."

Ye Chen tried his best to explain, but suddenly felt that he had said too much and had made things worse.

"I didn't say anything! Why are you so nervous? Do you really have something to hide?"

Jiang Ruoxi's words put Ye Chen in an awkward position. There was nothing wrong to begin with, but her fuss made it seem like there was a problem.

Ye Chen suddenly noticed that Zhang Chunlin was still sitting opposite him, and he immediately raised his glass awkwardly, stood up and clinked glasses with Zhang Chunlin.

"President Jiang, aren't you coming along?" Zhang Chunlin asked Jiang Ruoxi, who was standing next to Ye Chen, with a puzzled look.

"Oh well!"

Jiang Ruoxi hesitated for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening and picked up her wine glass as well.

"Mr. Jiang, thank you for acknowledging my request. I've tried to arrange a meeting dozens of times before, but you never had the time. It's truly an honor to have the opportunity to clink glasses with you today!"

Zhang Chunlin seemed very happy; he had always admired a stunning beauty like Jiang Ruoxi.

Unfortunately, the women he liked didn't love money, nor did they lack it. Su Yunian and Jiang Ruoxi were people he looked up to.

Today, Zhou Xinde provided this opportunity, and he had no choice but to make good use of it and show off his big boss status.

The Jiang Group and Zhang Chunlin have always cooperated, but they have also had conflicts during that time.

The main reason is the issue of profit distribution. These days, no one thinks they have too much money. The richer you are, the more you care about money and the less willing you are to spend it.

The main reason Jiang Ruoxi didn't like talking to him was that Zhang Chunlin liked to grope her at the drop of a hat, which made her feel very embarrassed several times.

Just now in the banquet hall, Zhang Chunlin touched the buttocks of a pretty female boss, which made her curse loudly.

Zhang Chunlin didn't mind at all; he liked this feeling. Now that he had the chance to spend time with Jiang Ruoxi, how could he let it slip by?

Zhang Chunlin moved closer to Jiang Ruoxi, holding his wine glass. Looking at the goddess up close, he felt a real difference.

"Mr. Jiang, would you do me the honor of grabbing a late-night snack later? There's a really great late-night eatery nearby, it's truly the best in Jiangcheng, I bet you've never been there before!"

Zhang Chunlin turned halfway to get even closer to Jiang Ruoxi, which made Ye Chen feel disgusted just listening to it.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, I'm busy!"

Jiang Ruoxi's cold reply did not deter Zhang Chunlin; instead, he became increasingly outrageous.

"President Jiang, why refuse so quickly? Business may be business, but friendship is important. Besides, we've been partners for a long time. Why won't you even give me the courtesy of having a late-night snack together?"

"Fatty Zhang, how much is your pride worth?"

Jiang Ruoxi was clearly getting angry; she hadn't expected Zhang Chunlin to be so shameless.

"Jiang Ruoxi, have I been giving you too much face all this time? You're not taking my kindness for granted, are you? Believe me or not, I'll cut off all your raw materials."

I don't know where Zhang Chunlin got the courage from, but he actually dared to confront Jiang Ruoxi head-on, which would have been impossible before.

It's likely that Zhang Chunlin received financial assistance from Zhou Xinde; otherwise, how could he have such confidence?

This Zhang Chunlin is truly someone who thrives on a little kindness and acts recklessly when given a stage.

They really don't know their own limitations; there are always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people.

"Hey, Mr. Zhang, let's talk this out. Why get angry? We're business partners. It's just a late-night snack together, it's simple, don't take it to heart..."

Ye Chen, who was standing nearby, knew what Zhang Chunlin was thinking, and he deliberately tried to persuade Zhang Chunlin in this way.

Upon entering the banquet hall, Ye Chen used his keen hearing to repeatedly overhear Zhang Chunlin and Zhou Xinde secretly discussing and signing cooperation agreements, offering Zhang Chunlin more benefits.

These are the results that business people want.

"Fatty Zhang, you try stopping for a bit and see what happens? I can find a better supplier right away. You'd better think this through, you fatso!"

After Jiang Ruoxi finished speaking about Zhang Chunlin, she turned to Ye Chen and launched an attack.

"Ye Chen, you shut up too, go find somewhere cool to stay..."

Jiang Ruoxi was furious and launched a barrage of attacks on the two of them.

The two looked at each other helplessly. What Zhang Chunlin didn't know was that Jiang Ruoxi had actually left herself a backup plan.

In the past, he would definitely have had reservations, and of course, he wouldn't have wanted to lose a partner like the Jiang Group.

But things are different now. He has the Zhou family as his backer, and he has more confidence now.

Zhang Chunlin walked up to Jiang Ruoxi with a wine glass in his hand: "President Jiang, how about this, we'll drink this and pretend nothing happened, okay?"

"Who do you think you are? Get lost!"

Jiang Ruoxi really didn't give them any face at all, and a group of people gathered around.

Zhang Chunlin became increasingly angry and splashed the wine in his glass onto Jiang Ruoxi's face. Ye Chen couldn't stop him.

"What a shameless bastard! She's really ruining my fun."

"Slap! Slap!"

Two crisp slaps rang out, but no one could tell who had done it. All that could be seen was Zhang Chunlin covering his face, with two bloody teeth on the ground.

"Fatty Zhang, brush your teeth before you speak, or you'll spew out a lot of filth."

"Jiang Ruoxi, you gigolo, no wonder you're so arrogant... Just you wait!"
