One Thousand Four Hundred and Ninety Boyfriend (One)
Zhang Rong picked up some food for her and tapped the edge of the bowl with chopsticks, "You two, don't be distracted, eat well."
Little Yimi pouted and looked at Zhao Chuning eagerly. Zhao Chuning knew what she was thinking, so he just scooped her favorite steamed egg and whispered, "Eat."
"Mommy~" she begged again.
"Uncle is an adult, not a child. He knows how to take care of himself." Zhao Chuning said this to the child, but also to herself. Miss Mo and the people from the Tang family must be there. If Xiao Yimi went there, it would inevitably cause trouble and could not be explained.
Little Yimi drooped her head in frustration, not eating much, just picking up the food in the bowl with a spoon.
Zhao Chuning didn't have much appetite either.
The atmosphere was very dull during the whole dinner.
Zhang Rong looked at this and that, and sighed. I really want to know what kind of person that man is, who can make everyone lose their appetite.

In the next two days, Xiao Yimi didn't talk to Tang Yi. When Xiao Yimi called him, the secretary always answered the phone and said he was asleep.
Zhao Chuning felt uneasy and called Chen Li to ask indirectly, but Chen Li didn't know anything and only said that Tang Yi hadn't been to the company for several days.
"What are you daydreaming about?" After hanging up the phone, the desk was knocked at the moment when she was distracted. She looked up and Tian Jie was looking at her inquiringly, "Why do you feel that you are always absent-minded these two days? Is there something wrong at home?"
"No." Zhao Chuning hung up the phone and tried to cheer up.
Tian Jie looked at his watch, "You will accompany me to the dinner party tonight. They are all old customers, so they will definitely have a few drinks. Don't drive, just leave the car downstairs of the company."
"Okay." Zhao Chuning nodded. This kind of dinner party can't be missed. Many project financings rely on these high-quality customers.
"Then you pack up. I'm leaving now."
Zhao Chuning nodded, put away his mind, and packed up the documents on the table. I called Zhang Rong again and told her that I would not go back for dinner.
This dinner was held in a hotel.
In the gorgeous private room,
there were more than ten people sitting. They had met each other more or less in various occasions before, so they were not too restrained when eating.
Zhao Chuning was one of the few ladies at the dinner, and the wine was always toasted to her. She was good at making friends, and she refused all the offers she could, and only drank the ones that she really couldn't refuse. Halfway through the meal, she was still relatively sober.
"Secretary Zhao used to follow Master Tang Wu, right?" Somehow, the men's topic suddenly turned from finance, investment, and corporate listing to her.
She nodded, "I worked there for a while."
In fact, the e30 incident was spread all over the circle during that time. She estimated that no one present didn't know about it.
Sure enough, "With Master Xiao Wu's temper, he was willing to protect you in the e30 incident. It can be seen that Xiao Zhao must be an extraordinary person."
There was some sincerity and some sarcasm in these words, and Zhao Chuning understood them. She just smiled and said, "Fifth Master always has a unique perspective on things."
"Yes, Fifth Master is loyal and has good vision. What he likes must be good."
In this circle, anyone who mentions Tang Yi always flatters him, even if he is not present. Zhao Chuning is somewhat used to it and did not respond.
The next moment, she heard Mr. Liu on her right suddenly say, "Speaking of the Fifth Master of the Tang family, I wonder if you have heard of something recently."
As soon as these words fell, everyone looked at that person.
Zhao Chuning also subconsciously cast a probing look at him.
"What's the matter?" someone asked.
"I heard that the Fifth Master is very ill and is staying in the hospital!"
"How serious is it?"
"It is said that there is a tumor in his body. The Tang family is hiding it from the outside."
Zhao Chuning's heart sank suddenly, and she stared at the other party.
"I have a relative who is one of the best professors. I heard that the Tang family has gathered all the professors in Youcheng for a consultation. I'm afraid he won't live long."
Her hand trembled, and the wine glass beside her fell on the table, spilling all over the table.
In her mind, she kept thinking about Mr. Liu's words, 'I'm afraid he won't live long...'. It tugged at her nerves.
It's impossible. It's said that evil will last for thousands of years. A bad man like Tang Yi should live a long life.
She didn't believe it...
"Are you okay?" Tian Jie turned his head, straightened the cup, and took a tissue for her, "Wipe it, it's all over your hands."
Zhao Chuning's face was pale, staring blankly at the wine poured out of her hand. The red liquid made her feel dizzy.
The people around her laughed, as if they finally found a reason to force her to drink, "Xiao Zhao, you've wasted a glass of wine. You have to punish yourself! Come on!"
Mr. Deng beside her took the wine from the waiter and poured her a glass himself. She said nothing, raised her head and drank it all in one breath. It seemed that this would make her feel better. However, after drinking a whole cup, the dull pain did not get relieved at all.
Her previous attitude was completely different from her current attitude, which surprised the people around her. After a moment of silence, someone took the lead in applauding, "Sure enough, Master Xiao Wu was right about him, so generous!"
When Zhao Chuning heard the three words "Master Xiao Wu", she felt like a needle piercing her heart. This cup of wine was quite large, and she drank it quickly. Coupled with what she drank before and the uncomfortable mood now, she felt even more dizzy.
"Manager Tian, I'm a little dizzy and want to go out and get some air." Zhao Chuning squeezed the bag in his hand and stood up.
"Xiao Zhao, are you trying to escape?" Mr. Deng took the bag from her hand without leaving a trace and handed it to the waiter on the side. Then he turned to another waiter and said, "She's drunk. Take her to the bathroom. Be careful and don't bump into her. It's rare for us to be together like this tonight. We've agreed not to get drunk and not to go home." But don’t even think about leaving.”
That last sentence was directed at the others at the table.
Tian Jie stood up, helped the waiter to help Zhao Chuning out of the box, and comforted her, "These people just like to drink, and they have no other bad intentions. You can bear it for now, and when they are almost done drinking, I will send you away." "
Zhao Chuning's mind was not here at all. She had been thinking about Tang Yi's condition. She looked at Tian Jie, "Is it true that Tang Yi is sick? Have you heard of it before?"
Tian Jie was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect her to ask such a question. Later he thought it was his old club and it was normal to ask. He shook his head, "Didn't Mr. Liu just say that the Tang family kept it secret? This is really the first time I've heard of it here. However, I haven't seen Tang Yi in the past few days. At the cocktail party a few days ago, he was supposed to Those who participated did not show up.”
Zhao Chuning stood there, feeling cold all over his body and shaking violently.
