Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Sister Likes to Listen"I remember! At that time, you were full of ambition, saying you were going to snatch a portion of the market share from the Shen Family’s ’Belle Group’... What, you’ve encountered some setbacks?" "Sigh... not just a setback, but a big setback!" Xia Chenyu let out a long sigh and said, "After our product went on the market, it was suppressed by the Shen Family and several other major brands, so sales weren’t very good. Later, some people developed skin allergies and burns while using our product..." "How could that happen? Your products couldn’t possibly have such problems, could they?" "Our products underwent a large number of inspections and tests before they were launched into the market, and we even had people try them out, there’s absolutely no way they could have these quality issues." Xia Chenyu said firmly. "Could it be the Shen Family doing something behind the scenes?" "I suspect so. Skin allergies were only isolated cases at first, but after the incidents, it was clear that someone was fanning the flames behind the scenes, as if they couldn’t wait to make the situation known throughout the city. Now, the major malls and supermarkets in Zhongzhou have already pulled our products off the shelves, causing us to suffer heavy losses..." "Sister Xia, try to see the bigger picture, doing business, after all, it’s common to make and lose money." Fang Bai said comforting her. "But this time the loss was too big. All the money I’ve worked so hard to earn over the years, I’ve poured most of it into this... Fang Bai, I’m in a really bad mood right now, come and have a drink with me." Xia Chenyu, when troubled by something, liked to drink a bit, and once she started, she would become somewhat drunk. Fang Bai knew that she was drinking to drown her sorrows. "Sister Xia, if I were in Zhongzhou, I would definitely come over and have a few drinks with you. But I’m in Yanjing! I’m actually out drinking with some friends right now..." "Which road in Yanjing? Which hotel? Which room?" Fang Bai was taken aback, not understanding why Xia Chenyu was asking this, but still provided the hotel’s address, name, and the specific room number. "Wait there, I’ll be there in twenty minutes." Xia Chenyu said and then hung up the phone. "Arrive in twenty minutes? Could Xia Chenyu also be in Yanjing?" Fang Bai scratched his head, then said to Wu Tian, "Wu Tian, ask the waiter to add another set of utensils, a friend of mine will be joining us for the meal soon!" "Brother Fang, is it your girlfriend?" Wu Tian greeted the hotel staff, and then winked at Fang Bai. Fang Bai had not avoided Wu Tian and the others while talking on the phone with Xia Chenyu, and Wu Tian and a few interns had figured out that the person on the other end was a woman and that she was not old. "Get lost!" Fang Bai laughed and cursed, "She’s not my girlfriend, she’s a female friend. We’ve known each other since our time in Zhongzhou." Since Xia Chenyu was coming, the group wasn’t in a hurry to start eating, so they started playing cards in the room, patiently waiting for Xia Chenyu. Twenty minutes later, the slightly ajar door of the room was pushed open, and a red figure accompanied by a waft of fragrance floated in. It was Xia Chenyu. Xia Chenyu wore light makeup, her complexion looked somewhat haggard, evidently, these days had not been kind to her. She was still wearing a red dress, only the style was different from before, highlighting her ******** beautifully shaped figure even more; the pair of red high heels she had on made her legs appear even longer and straighter. She liked to wear her hair up, but now she had let it down, cascading like a waterfall behind her head, draping down to her waist, revealing a few hints of feminine charm within her noble aura. Xia Chenyu’s sudden appearance brought a brief silence to the room. Aside from Fang Bai, several men were ogling Xia Chenyu, who exuded allure from head to toe. Fang Bai even heard some of the men gulp, their sounds of swallowing audible. "When I was outside just now, I heard lots of noise in your room. Why did you all fall silent when I came in? Don’t tell me you’re not welcoming me to crash your meal?" After entering the room, Xia Chenyu’s gaze drifted over the men, eventually resting on Fang Bai as she asked with a playful laugh. Xia Chenyu was already accustomed to and undisturbed by the hospital interns like Wu Tian, whose gazes were fixated on her and hard to turn away. Confident in her appearance and figure, Xia Chenyu would have been surprised if a man could remain unfazed upon seeing her. Sёarch* The ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. However, Xia Chenyu preferred it when Fang Bai looked at her that way. Unfortunately, his look of appreciation was fleeting, and then he went back to his usual self. Xia Chenyu’s laughter seemed to carry a certain charm, causing the bones of the interns like Wu Tian to soften. Wu Tian, who was very observant, came to his senses and immediately gave up the seat next to Fang Bai, inviting Xia Chenyu to sit down. Fang Bai sighed, "Sister Xia, we are all men here. When a gorgeous woman like you, oozing charm, suddenly appears in front of us dressed so refreshingly, would it be normal if we didn’t take a few extra glances?" "Look at you, always so sweet-talking! But I like it!" Suddenly feeling much better, Xia Chenyu "giggled" as she walked over to Fang Bai and sat down right next to him. With Xia Chenyu’s arrival, besides Fang Bai, the other men in the room became much more reserved, no longer rowdy as they had been before, each transforming into gentlemen of seemingly great cultivation, even speaking in lower and more magnetic voices. Once everyone was present, the dishes and drinks started to arrive, and soon the table was full. Wu Tian was about to pour a drink for Xia Chenyu, but she opted for a glass of white liquor instead. "Fang Bai, it’s been a while since we last saw each other, hasn’t it? Here, let’s drink up! And you guys join in too!" Without having started the meal, Xia Chenyu picked up her glass, clinked it with Fang Bai’s, and downed it in one go. A glass like that, when full, contained at least two shots of liquor. Wu Tian, who considered himself a good drinker, wouldn’t dare to drink so boldly. Seeing Xia Chenyu not even frowning after drinking, he couldn’t help but utter a word of admiration for her "bottomless capacity." Seeing Xia Chenyu instantly pouring another, Fang Bai said with a bitter smile, "Sister Xia, I know you’re not in a good mood, but you can’t just drink like this! What if you harm your health?" "I’m here today specifically to drink with you, so don’t try to stop me! Come on, Fang Bai, let’s not stop until we’re drunk... If I get drunk, you have to take me back to the hotel... My car’s outside, the red Ferrari... I’m staying at 69 Jinghu Hotel on Chunjiang Road... make sure you remember..." A drink down, Xia Chenyu’s face was slightly flushed, her eyes glossy as she looked at Fang Bai, her gaze somewhat hazy. When Wu Tian and the others heard Xia Chenyu’s words, they looked at Fang Bai with lecherous expressions – when a woman says such things, it is usually a signal or hint for the man. Fang Bai nodded and said, "Okay, if you want to drown your sorrows in alcohol, I won’t stop you, but how about eating some food before you drink more? Just so you don’t hurt your stomach." "Sure, I’ll listen to you," Xia Chenyu agreed with a sweet smile, took a couple of bites of food, and then downed a second glass. As the meal progressed, she continued the pattern of eating a few bites and then taking a drink. In no time at all, she had already consumed four glasses of the white liquor.
