"Maybe I'm just too outstanding, and it makes people jealous," Shen Mianyin said, feigning helplessness.
Gu Huaizhi shook his head and chuckled.
However, Shen Mianyin felt like her bladder was about to burst.
After quickly comparing the distance to her room and the restroom in the hallway, she decided the hallway restroom was closer.
Shen Mianyin couldn’t bother to say more to Gu Huaizhi at this moment. Clutching her stomach, she said, “I can’t hold it anymore. I need to go to the restroom first. We’ll talk later!”
With that, she quickly ran off.
Gu Huaizhi: “…”
Zhou Jingqi: “…”
Had Shen Mianyin completely let loose in front of the president?
"President Gu!" At this moment, the client Gu Huaizhi had an appointment with walked over. "I just heard over the phone that you’d arrived, so we came out immediately."
The client, accompanied by several others, approached with a cheerful demeanor. Before even reaching Gu Huaizhi, he had already extended his hand toward him.
Once he got close, he enthusiastically shook Gu Huaizhi's hand and didn’t forget to greet Zhou Jingqi, "Assistant Zhou, a pleasure to meet you!"
"President Gu, Assistant Zhou, please come inside."
Gu Huaizhi glanced once more in the direction Shen Mianyin had left before following the client into the room.
Not long after, Su Yiqing cautiously stepped out alone. Gu Huaizhi was no longer there, but she had noticed earlier that Shen Mianyin had gone to the restroom at the end of the hallway.
Su Yiqing leaned against the wall in the hallway, waiting for Shen Mianyin.
At that moment, the door of the room opposite opened, and out stumbled a drunken man.
The man wasn’t very tall but was unusually obese, his sweater stretched tightly over his body.
As soon as the door opened, the overwhelming stench of alcohol wafted out, pungent and unpleasant.
Su Yiqing glanced at him briefly before lowering her head to continue playing on her phone.
Who would have thought that the fat man would walk toward her, the stench of alcohol so strong it nearly made Su Yiqing vomit?
Sensing trouble, Su Yiqing turned to leave, but the man grabbed her arm. "Hey there, beauty, all by yourself?"
"I'm here with friends," Su Yiqing replied, taking a couple of frightened steps back.
The man, however, wouldn’t let go, taking two steps closer. "Don’t lie to brother, beauty. If you’re here with friends, why are you standing alone in the hallway? Come on, let’s go inside. brother will treat you to some drinks and food."
Su Yiqing was nearly overwhelmed by the stench of alcohol on him, and the way he kept calling himself "brother" made her feel utterly disgusted.
She couldn’t help but think—he didn’t even look at himself, resembling a fat pig, yet he dared to call himself "brother."
Su Yiqing’s face darkened as she said, "Let go of me, or I’ll scream for help."
"Hehe!" The man stopped pretending and grabbed her arm, pulling her toward the room. "Go ahead, scream! Tonight, I’m definitely getting you to drink with me. You think I don’t know what’s going on just because you’re alone in the hallway?"
Su Yiqing’s expression changed. "I’m not!"
Suddenly, she thought of Shen Mianyin and quickly said to the man, "Brother, let me recommend a friend to you. She’s much better."
"Mm?" The man indeed stopped, narrowing his already barely open eyes. "You have another friend?"
Su Yiqing hurriedly nodded. "She's pretty and delicate, was originally a young lady from a wealthy family. But she was swapped at birth. Now, the real young lady is back home, and she got kicked out. She’s no longer a lady of the house."
Suppressing her disgust, Su Yiqing called the man, "Brother, think about it. She was once a wealthy young lady, pampered and spoiled. Suddenly, she was kicked out of her family. She doesn’t have the ability to support herself."
Su Yiqing gave a mysterious hint and said, "Right now, she’s trying to make some money."
"She doesn’t have a job, can’t find a decent one, and can’t handle hard work," Su Yiqing whispered. "Brother, doesn’t that sound perfect for you?"
"Really?" The man sounded a bit intrigued.
Seizing the opportunity, Su Yiqing quickly added, "Brother, if you let me go, I can introduce her to you."
"Then where is she? Hurry up and bring her over," the man said. "Once she’s here, I’ll let you go."
"She’ll be here soon," Su Yiqing replied. "Just let go of me for now. I can’t tell you which one it is unless you do."
The man thought for a moment and then released her. "Even if you try to leave, I can grab you again."
"Yes, yes, of course," Su Yiqing nodded repeatedly.
She moved to the side of the man, trying to avoid being seen by Shen Mianyin when she came around.
Su Yiqing was now desperate, her heart racing, and finally, she saw Shen Mianyin turning the corner.
She quickly pointed to the approaching figure and said, "Brother, do you see her? The one just turning the corner, wearing the white shirt."
Upon seeing Shen Mianyin, the man’s eyes, which had barely been open, widened in surprise.
"She’s beautiful, no wonder she’s a young lady. Her figure and elegance are truly unmatched," the man said, his gaze fixed on Shen Mianyin, unable to look away.
"Good brother, go ahead," Su Yiqing urged, seizing the opportunity while the man was distracted. She quickly ran off.
She hid around the corner, checking the location of the security cameras. Seeing that they couldn’t capture her, she secretly took out her phone and snapped a photo in that direction.
The man waited for Shen Mianyin to walk over, then grabbed her arm. "Hey, beautiful, I heard you’re in need of money. Come, have a drink with me. One drink, and I’ll give you a hundred."
Shen Mianyin furrowed her brows. Where did this drunkard come from? She shouted loudly, "Waiter! Waiter!"
"What are you shouting for?" The man stretched out his hand, reeking of alcohol and grease, and grabbed her arm, pulling her toward their room. "Your friend already said you’re short on cash. Stop pretending."
Friend?
What friend?!
Shen Mianyin’s shoulder was being held by the man, and he pulled her off balance, causing her to stumble.
Taking advantage of the moment, Shen Mianyin let herself fall to the ground.
The man, caught off guard by her fall, stumbled slightly as well.
However, due to his larger size, he was able to steady himself.
Just as the man was about to pull Shen Mianyin up, she suddenly pulled off her high heel and swung it hard at the back of his hand.
She quickly took off the other heel, stood up barefoot, and forcefully drove the heel into the man's crotch.
"Ah!" The man cried out in pain, "You filthy woman!"
The more he hurt, the angrier he became. He raised his hand, ready to hit Shen Mianyin.
As Shen Mianyin stepped back, she swung her high heels at the man, not caring at all about her image.
Since the moment of her rebirth, she had told herself that in this life, no one could harm her.
No one!
"Director Shen!" It was the voice of Gao Zhoulei.
Gao Zhoulei, worried that Shen Mianyin hadn’t returned yet, came out to look for her, only to find that she had gotten into trouble.
He rushed over, placing himself between her and the man, protecting her.
At the same time, the man’s loud voice had attracted the attention of a waiter, who quickly stepped forward to intervene.
"Director Shen, what’s going on?" Gao Zhoulei asked, his body still shielding Shen Mianyin.
