C709 How Could He be Willing
With that, he reached out to the waiter and took a glass of red wine from the tray. He raised his glass and said, "Director Xia, let me toast you. Welcome back."
Xia Xingcheng looked at the wine in her hand and felt troubled. She was pregnant and since she hadn't shown it yet, many people didn't know about it. However, this didn't mean that she could drink.
Thinking of this, Xia Xingcheng could not help but laugh apologetically. "I'm sorry, I don't drink alcohol anymore. I'll use tea in place of a bar now."
After saying that, she picked up the teacup beside her and gulped down the entire cup of tea. However, she did not give Zhou David any intention of rejecting her.
Zhou David noticed that Xia Xingcheng didn't put him in her eyes at all. For a moment, his anger burned hotter and hotter. His face darkened accordingly.
Zhou David forced himself not to curse. He drank the wine in his glass and left.
Xia Xingcheng was too lazy to bother with him. Zhou David's grudge with her wasn't settled just like that. The only reason she didn't care today was because it was her welcome party. She didn't want to make everyone look bad.
At this moment, Xu Hao followed behind Zhou David. Seeing his boss look so angry, Zhou David couldn't help but have a bad complexion.
However, he didn't dare to say anything in the end. He glared at Xia Xingcheng hatefully and left with Zhou David.
He didn't want to come today. He didn't have any friendship with Xia Xingcheng at all. Plus, he had always been enemies with Gu Xingxi, so he wasn't in the mood to come now.
From afar, he saw Zhou David seemed to be talking to Gu Xingxi, causing Xu Hao to immediately become very alert.
He naturally knew what Zhou David was thinking about Gu Xingxi. Seeing this, because he was worried that Gu Xingxi would dig a corner, he couldn't help but hurry over.
Sure enough, Zhou David was looking at Gu Xingxi with a face full of smiles, praising him, "Xingxi, you're really getting better and better now. I really should have nurtured you well in the past. I didn't misjudge you.
He had said those words without thinking.
Xu Hao, who was at the side, heard Zhou David's words and snorted in displeasure: "Manager Zhou, you already agreed to give me that role, why …"
"This is none of your business, stop interrupting."
Zhou David glanced over and scared Xu Hao so much that he didn't even dare to breathe.
However, his expression was still filled with anger. No one knew how much strength he had wasted in order to win over that character and how much humiliation he had suffered in bed. How could he be willing?
Gu Xingxi can get Zhou David's favor without doing anything. Who would believe it?
Thinking this way, he wanted to say something, but did not expect Gu Xingxi, who had been silent all this time, to suddenly refuse him with a cold face: "Director Zhou, I have no luck in receiving your good intentions. Thanks, I still have things to do, you guys can talk slowly."
As he spoke, he turned and left, with the attitude of avoiding both of them.
When Xu Hao heard this, he was overjoyed. However, he did not notice that Zhou David's face had already darkened to the limit.
He only said that because he saw Gu Xingxi today on a whim. However, he didn't expect that he would be ruthlessly rejected.
It was all Xu Hao's fault. After saying that, he glared at him coldly and swore: "You, this useless thing, did I make you talk too much?"
Xu Hao felt wronged after being scolded so much that tears almost flowed down his face. He couldn't help but argue: "Boss, you clearly promised me, I …"
"Enough. Haven't I given you enough? Why do you have to be so greedy and useless?"
He scolded Xu Hao harshly as if he was feeling better at this time. He snorted coldly and turned around to leave.
Xu Hao stood aside and looked at Zhou David, who was being cruel and indifferent to him. He could not help but feel angry.
He had to see that this disgusting old man still had some resources before he would agree. If he couldn't get even the slightest bit of benefits, then he couldn't be blamed for turning hostile.
In fact, the more others looked down on his heart, the more cruel it would become in the end.
Xia Xingcheng didn't know about this small incident and only saw Zhou David and Gu Xingxi talking to each other from a distance. In the end, Gu Xingxi walked away with a cold expression.
She couldn't help but think about how she could kick out a scum like Zhou David.
Time slowly passed, and the atmosphere of the employees in the hall also gradually became more familiar.
Sheng Chenfeng looked at the time and saw that the time was right. He couldn't help but slowly stand up and walk to the side of the washroom.
There was someone waiting there. It was Zhou David.
Seeing him, Sheng Chenfeng couldn't help but reveal an ambiguous smile: "How is it, you've brought the thing with you right?"
Zhou David nodded in understanding. He took out a transparent bag the size of a fingernail, which contained a transparent liquid.
"Boss Sheng, I think this is what you want. I definitely won't let you down."
Zhou David said as if he was trying to please him.
Actually, when Sheng Chenfeng mentioned that matter to him today, he already guessed what Sheng Chenfeng wanted to do.
Their tacit understanding after being together for so many years was naturally unmistakable.
That was why he had sneakily brought this magical potion to attend the party. His goal was to get Sheng Chenfeng to give it to Xia Xingcheng for her to consume. He wanted to see Xia Xingcheng make a fool of herself.
Sheng Chenfeng knew what it was, so he took it with satisfaction.
"Have you tried whether this thing is useful or not? If anything goes wrong, I'll use you to test it."
Zhou David nodded again and again: "Don't worry Boss Sheng, I've already tried this before, there definitely won't be any problems."
"Alright, then I'll believe you this once. Just you wait."
Only then did Sheng Chenfeng nod in satisfaction and put the transparent liquid into his bag.
