Chapter 214: Chapter 214

"Brother Song, are you comfortable?"

Zeng Li adjusted her skirt and deliberately twisted her slender waist, speaking with a suggestive look in her eyes.

Song Guanchao didn’t make a sound, just picked up his chopsticks and silently started eating.

Zeng Li chuckled, moved closer, and leaned half her body against him; Song Guanchao quickly dodged.

"Don’t dodge!"

"I will dodge!"

"Weren’t you saying we should act like siblings? What’s wrong with a little sister leaning on her big brother!"

"I..."

Song Guanchao was at a loss for words. This time, Zeng Li leaned in, and he didn’t move away.

After dinner, they left the restaurant.

"Where are you staying now?"

"A hotel."

"Do you live in a hotel every day?"

"Yeah, what else?"

Zeng Li wrapped her arm around his, tilting her head in a matter-of-fact tone, "A suite only costs a little over two thousand a day, it’s not expensive."

Song Guanchao didn’t want to talk to her.

Comparing yourself to others will only make you feel worse.

His own monthly salary was just a few thousand yuan, and damn it, he had to frequently treat Chen Jie and Yu Lifang to meals, and pay rent... There was hardly any money left by the end of the month.

He actually did receive a sum of money when he retired. Although it wasn’t much, it would have been enough considering his spending habits.

But compared to Zeng Li, the difference was like heaven and earth.

"I’ll take you back."

"No need, I’m not done having fun yet."

"It’s almost 8 o’clock, where do you want to go play?"

"To a bar!"

Song Guanchao drove her to a bar, opened a tab for a booth, and ordered two cocktails.

He didn’t like places like this, too noisy.

Women on stage writhing about, desperately showing off their bodies, appeared to him like animals in heat.

Zeng Li, holding a cocktail, also seemed a bit bored.

Her family was strict, but she had sneaked out to go to bars with friends.

Requesting to go to a bar wasn’t because she wanted to have fun, but because she wanted to get Song Guanchao drunk.

"Huh?" Zeng Li’s gaze suddenly fell on a table not far away.

She nudged Song Guanchao.

"What’s up?"

"Look over there," she said, nodding her chin in that direction.

Following her gaze, Song Guanchao’s eyes suddenly widened.

At that table, a man and a woman were sitting.

The woman was wearing denim shorts, almost revealing half her buttocks, and a crop top that showed her midriff, with heavy makeup on her face and a cigarette between her fingers.

She had her legs crossed and was leaning on the sofa, tilting her head and resting her chin on her hand as she watched the man in front of her.

The man looked to be in his mid-thirties, in a suit and tie with impeccably neat hair, his formal attire clashing with the atmosphere of the bar.

"Secretary?" Song Guanchao was extremely surprised.

He almost thought he had mistaken someone else.

After a good long while of staring, he was certain that the woman, who looked like a nightclub dancer, was Wu Qiangwei.

What was going on here?

Song Guanchao felt like his entire worldview was exploding. It was as if he was meeting her for the first time.

Zeng Li was equally shocked to the core, her eyes almost bulging out.

They looked at each other, speechless for a long time.

Over there.

Wu Qiangwei finished her cigarette, and as she got up, her swaying hips exuded the unique charm of a mature woman—many male eyes turned her way.

"I’m going to the restroom."

She got up and walked toward the restroom, the man in the suit sighed softly, wiping the sweat from his forehead, obviously very uncomfortable with the place.

It wasn’t long before Wu Qiangwei returned.

After sitting down, they chatted for a bit more, and the man in the suit said, "It’s getting late; I should take you back."

Wu Qiangwei said, "I’m not done drinking yet. If you want to leave, go ahead by yourself."

"Well... then I’ll head back first," the man in the suit said with an apologetic smile and stood up to leave.

Wu Qiangwei’s lips curled up. The method Bai Ruyi taught her was really quite useful.

She threw her head back and downed the drink in her glass.

"Secretary?"

Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed in her ear.

Wu Qiangwei’s body stiffened, and she slowly turned her head.

When she saw Song Guanchao and Zeng Li, Wu Qiangwei’s pupils shrank sharply.

She was stunned for two or three seconds before she came back to her senses.

First came confusion, why were they here?

Then a strong sense of shame surged in her heart.

Wu Qiangwei’s mind was in turmoil, her brain seemed to malfunction, as she felt the shame of being caught red-handed doing something wrong.

Song Guanchao gave Wu Qiangwei a close look, taking in her attire and makeup.

And, well, although the makeup was heavy and the clothes were revealing, there was not a hint of vulgar charm.

Used to seeing Wu Qiangwei in formal attire, Song Guanchao was struck by her transformation, finding it stunning.

Some women are beautiful but don’t look good in heavy makeup.

Yet Wu Qiangwei managed to pull off this look perfectly without looking tacky, instead exuding the aura of a leading lady.

Even amidst the entire bar, she stood out brilliantly.

No wonder men kept coming up to chat her up.

Zeng Li curiously asked, "Sister Weiwei, why are you... dressed like this?"

Wu Qiangwei’s face turned red as she retorted, "What are you two doing here?"

"I..." Zeng Li didn’t know how to explain when Song Guanchao timely said, "Miss Zeng is helping me investigate New City Company, and I promised to accompany her to the bar."

Wu Qiangwei had no doubts; she was just trying to divert attention.

However, she obviously failed.

Song Guanchao inquired, "Is the Secretary here for research?"

Research...

That was an excuse he could fabricate for Wu Qiangwei, but one she could not face to claim.

"I... came for a blind date."

"What?"

The two of them stared at her in shock.

Who goes to a bar for a blind date?

And dressed like that?

Normally, she was mature and composed in front of Song Guanchao.

But today...

She felt her image was completely shattered.

But after all, as a secretary accustomed to high positions, she quickly adjusted her attitude.

"I’m going back, you guys continue drinking."

Wu Qiangwei stood up, ready to leave, when Song Guanchao suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her back to him.

"What the..."

"Secretary, lower your head." Song Guanchao whispered in her ear, "I see Secretary Sun."

Their proximity was so close, his breath tickled her ear, causing her to break out in goosebumps.

After hearing his words, Wu Qiangwei’s heart trembled slightly, and she quickly lowered her head.

"Miss Zeng, you go out first, call a designated driver, and wait for me in the car."

"Oh, alright." Zeng Li put down her glass and got up to leave.

Song Guanchao was also about to stand up when Secretary Sun happened to look their way, spotting him.

Secretary Sun was stunned for a moment, thinking he saw wrong.

He rubbed his eyes and showed a look of surprise, immediately walking over.

Song Guanchao cursed inwardly, what the hell are you doing coming over here?

"Secretary Sun is coming over, Secretary, pretend to be drunk and don’t lift your head."

He quickly advised her, pulling Wu Qiangwei closer into his embrace, clearly feeling the woman in his arms shudder.

Clearly, this close contact made her uncomfortable.

"Brother Song, what are you doing here?"

Secretary Sun sat down, looking perplexed.

"Just having a few drinks with friends," Song Guanchao replied, patting Wu Qiangwei on the shoulder with a smile.

Secretary Sun glanced at the woman in his embrace and was momentarily dazzled.

Even though her face was not visible, that figure was seriously hot!

"Tsk, Brother Song, you’re quite lucky."

"Is this your girlfriend?"

"Just a friend."

"Got it, hahaha," Secretary Sun said with a knowing look.

At this point, the others from Secretary Sun’s table approached.

"Brother Sun, who is this?"

These people looked like they were from the system as well.

Secretary Sun gave a brief introduction, and they eagerly raised their glasses, "So you’re Secretary Song, I’ve heard a lot about you. Let me toast to you, Secretary Song."

Song Guanchao held onto Wu Qiangwei with one arm while leaning over to grab a cup from the table.

The posture was inconvenient, so he casually placed Wu Qiangwei on his lap faced towards him, so that the others could not see her face.

Wearing a crop top, the moment she was placed, her ample chest was squeezed, creating a spectacular view.

Song Guanchao quickly withdrew his gaze, yet he couldn’t help but react.

And, just by chance, it pressed right up against Wu Qiangwei’s face.

At that moment, Song Guanchao stiffened completely.
