That’s It

Everything about being drunk and talking nonsense was just an excuse.
“Since your hands are roaming randomly. Why didn’t you touch him? You only touched my artistes.”
Murong Qiao had no intention of leaving a fig leaf for anyone at all. There was no room for discussion about such a thing.
If not for the fact that she had happened to see that scene when the waiter entered just now, she didn’t dare to imagine what kind of treatment Chi Hanjing would suffer tonight.
Murong Qiao was clearly referring to Han Zheng. Her sharp tone made Qian Hua feel awkward.
“I also drank too much… The aftereffects of the alcohol might be a little strong.” Qian Hua was stubborn about this reason.
After all, alcohol had a strong aftereffect. Who wouldn’t understand if they did something overboard?
Moreover, even if Murong Qiao was from the Murong Family, her words were so aggressive that even a clay figurine would be a little angry, not to mention that although he was clear-headed now, there was still alcohol flowing in his
Qian Hua’s tone was a little impatient. “I have a wife at home, so I naturally am a good man. But this is drinking, and she’s dressed like that…”
The rest of the sentence was silenced, but the meaning was self-evident.
Wasn’t she dressed so beautifully to seduce him on purpose?
Qian Hua’s voice was loud and clear, as if he was trying to prove his righteousness.
However, this voice fell into the ears of the waiter who had entered first before Murong Qiao, causing his eyes, which had been lowered, to burst with shocking excitement.
Ever since Murong Qiao came in just now, the waiter who didn’t stop her didn’t leave. He stood quietly in the corner when they were talking and lowered his presence.
However, in fact, the waiter was not really a waiter. He was a paparazzi who had sneaked in.
A hotel like this could be considered the main production base for gossip, let alone a high-end place like Yunyue Hotel. Any person who came in could be a CEO or celebrity.
Listening to Murong Qiao’s argument with the others, the paparazzi tried his best to lower his head to hide the excitement that might appear on his face at t is moment. At the same time, he checked if the pinhole camera at his collar was properly placed.
This was big news!
Everyone on the other side didn’t realize that they had been secretly photographed. Murong Qiao’s words were even more merciless as she attacked Han Zheng and Qian Hua.
“My artiste is an actress. She’s not a hostess that a director like you can bring around to accompany others to drink.”
Murong Qiao frowned in disgust. “If the entire production team is like this, we might as well not take part in this drama.”
Putting everything else aside, it was difficult not to think too much about such a production team led by this director and the meal that was arranged to eat alone with Chi Hanjing today.
It was not that Murong Qiao didn’t know the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry. After all, she was also the boss of a company and knew some things.
However, she knew that she had never had the intention of letting her artistes get involved.
“Don’t, Boss Murong!” At the mention of terminating the cooperation with the production team, Han Zheng became anxious.
It was not easy for him to choose the actors to fit the roles. If this matter today was really ruined and news of it spread in the future, his position as a director and the production team would be affected.
Qian Hua’s expression didn’t look good either, but no matter what was said, he didn t dare to say a word to Murong Qiao.
Chi Hanjing, who had been protected by Murong Qiao, saw this scene.
After talking for a while, Chi Hanjing stood up and sobered up. Her thoughts were much clearer.
Her alcohol tolerance was not really bad, but it could make her feel dizzy Chi
Hanjing also realized that it might be because of the wine.
“Boss, I’m fine,” Chi Hanjing said softly.
Murong Qiao s coat still had a hint of gardenia mixed with the fragrance of light tea. It was elegant and refreshing, suppressing the drunkenness in Chi Hanjing’s mind.
Chi Hanjing carefully stretched out her hand and pinched the clothes on Murong Qiao’s back with extreme strength. Seeing that Murong Qiao sensed that she was looking back at her, she couldn’t help but reveal a sincere smile to indicate that she was really fine.
“It’s fine. Leave it tome.”
She heard Murong Qiao’s reliable and gentle voice.
At that moment, her heart, which had been tense, seemed to have found a place to belong and finally landed steadily on a wide platform.
The panic of being forced to drink and being touched suddenly disappeared. It was like the clouds that had been swept away by the wind, disappearing without a trace.
Chi Hanjing pursed her lips and was suddenly not afraid.
An extremely faint smile appeared on her lips. She nodded softly and stood behind Murong Qiao in peace.
“Our company will resolve this matter with the two of you later.” Murong Qiao was also prepared to end her entanglement with these two people.
“That’s all for today.”
Firstly, Chi Hanjing had drunk so much that he had to rest. Secondly, this private room was filled with the smell of alcohol. Just by standing there for a while, Murong Qiao felt like she was about to suffocate.
She ignored Han Zheng’s desire to persuade her to stay and pulled Chi Hanjing
Murong Qiao was quite familiar with the way here, so she arrived outside the main entrance of Yunyue Hotel in a few steps.
At this moment, it was already late at night. There were only a few pedestrians outside, and most of the activity was speeding cars. In the blink of an eye they slipped away in front of her, leaving only a small shadow.
“How do you feel? Do you need to go to the hospital?” Murong Qiao asked Chi Hanjing.
Chi Hanjing, who was already much more awake, felt less stuffy in her chest after being blown by the cold wind outside. Other than her stomach feeling a little bloated, she didn’t feel particularly uncomfortable.
Chi Hanjing shook her head. “I’m fine. I just drank a little too much just now.”
“Boss, thank you… for just now,” she said after a moment of hesitation.
She called her boss sincerely and thanked her.
Chi Hanjing looked at Murong Qiao seriously. Even though she was standing
outside in the cold wind, her heart was indeed warm.
“If… if you hadn’t come just now…” Chi Hanjing said, her voice choked up.
At this moment, lingering fear finally surged into Chi Hanjing’s heart. She couldn’t help but release it in front of Murong Qiao, who was so trustworthy and really treated her well.
Seeing that there seemed to be a hint of tears in Chi Hanjing’s eyes, Murong
Qiao opened her mouth. In the end, she chose to remain silent and patted Chi Hanjing’s shoulder to comfort her.
Chi Hanjing’s eyes gradually turned red. She lowered her head and sniffed.
She could clearly control her emotions freely usually, but at this moment they surged out like a broken dam. Chi Hanjing could only try her best to lower her voice and not embarrass herself in front of her boss.
But then, Murong Qiao opened her arms and hugged her gently.
She clearly didn’t say anything, but Chi Hanjing cried her eyes out.
“Wu-” She couldn’t hold it in anymore and couldn’t help but reach out to hug this warm comfort. She cried wantonly.
“Boss, you don’t know this, but he touched me just now. He even threatened me…”
“He, he even leaned over and sat beside me, touching my shoulder…”
I couldn’t run. The director blocked me and won’t let me go…”
Her words were intermittent, filled with grievance and fear.
Murong Qiao nodded from time to time. “I’ll let the company deal with this later. Don’t worry.”
She had never advocated or supported such a method of obtaining resources.
This time, she saw Chi Hanjing in time and managed to save the other party
but what about those that she didn’t see?
As Murong Qiao listened to Chi Hanjing’s cries, she was also thinking about sending a message to Jiang Chi later to emphasize this matter.
