Chapter 159: Chapter 159: I Didn’t Expect You to Be So Bad!Xia Chenyu drank a lot, and Fang Bai also had quite a few drinks to keep her company. Unlike Xia Chenyu, whose face turned red all over, Fang Bai appeared unfazed, as if nothing was the matter. Wu Tian and others were secretly amazed and full of admiration, thinking to themselves that not only was Doctor Fang skilled in medicine, his tolerance for alcohol was impressive too, and moreover, he had a beauty who had prepared a room at the hotel, ready to throw herself into his arms... For a man to reach this level, it really was worth it. Although Xia Chenyu could hold her alcohol well, there was a limit. After a liter, she started to lose the battle with the booze. Initially, she was laughing and talking with Fang Bai and the others, but in the end, she lay on the table and started to cry "wu wu." Wu Tian and the rest looked at each other, puzzled. Fang Bai knew about Xia Chenyu’s past and realized that she had been holding in a lot of negative things. The business setback this time had also dealt a great blow to her, making her feel overwhelmed. Fang Bai also knew that Xia Chenyu came to drink with him because she wanted to get thoroughly drunk. As for why Xia Chenyu wanted to drink with him, and was not afraid of getting drunk, Fang Bai thought maybe she didn’t have many friends in Yanjing, plus she trusted his character and would not take advantage of her when she was drunk. "Which one of you can drive?" Fang Bai took out the keys to the Ferrari from Xia Chenyu’s small handbag and asked Wu Tian and the others. "I can." Wu Tian immediately raised his hand and answered. "After dinner, drive us to the hotel." "No problem... Do we need to buy some medicine on the way?" "What medicine?" "Of course, the kind that makes a man robust! Going to a hotel room with such a top beauty, if you don’t perform like a seven-time hero in one night, that would be a huge loss." "Get lost, do I look like that kind of person?" "I think you do." "..." By the time the dinner party ended, Xia Chenyu was completely drunk. When walking out of the restaurant, she was entirely leaning on Fang Bai. After stuffing the utterly inebriated Xia Chenyu into the car, Fang Bai also got in, then Wu Tian, driving the sports car, took them to the hotel where Xia Chenyu was staying. Wu Tian was still excitedly flushed after getting a taste of speeding in a sports car. He circled the car a few times after getting out and then reluctantly handed the keys to Fang Bai before leaving. Fang Bai helped Xia Chenyu to the door of her room, listened carefully, and knew there was another woman in the room, who had already fallen asleep, probably taking a nap. Fang Bai didn’t knock on the door and instead used Xia Chenyu’s room card to directly open it, helping her into the room. After entering the room, he saw it was a double room. The woman sleeping was lying on her side on the north bed with just a corner of the quilt covering her waist. Perhaps due to the hot weather, even though the air conditioning was on, the woman was wearing very little—just a pitiful three pieces of cloth, inevitably revealing more than intended. Cough— Cough— Fang Bai coughed twice forcefully, waking up the woman on the bed. "President Xia, is that you?" The woman slowly sat up, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and asked in a drowsy voice. Fang Bai glanced at the woman and smiled, saying, "Xiao Meng, it’s me." The woman sleeping in the bed was Xia Chenyu’s assistant, Zhao Xiaomeng. Fang Bai had seen her in Zhongzhou and knew she was very loyal to Xia Chenyu. Xia Chenyu had brought her along to Yanjing this time. "Fang Bai? President Xia? You guys... ah..." Zhao Xiaomeng knew that President Xia and Fang Bai were close, and she also knew President Xia had gone to drink with Fang Bai. Suddenly seeing Fang Bai and President Xia in front of her, she blurted out. But then, she realized how little she was wearing and let out a shriek, grabbing the quilt to cover herself, her face turning bright red. "I didn’t see anything... Xiao Meng, who would have thought you had such a figure, not at all inferior to President Xia!" Seeing Zhao Xiaomeng blush uncontrollably, Fang Bai couldn’t help but feel mischievous, teasing her with a remark. Zhao Xiaomeng’s face turned even redder, and she pulled the quilt up further, only revealing her eyes, and chided, "President Xia said you were a very good person, and very decent, too. Who would have thought you... you could be so naughty..." Fang Bai laughed, "Everyone likes to take a few more looks at beautiful things. It’s only human nature!" Zhao Xiaomeng, of course, wasn’t really angry, secretly delighted that Fang Bai had called her "beautiful." "Is President Xia... drunk?" Seeing Xia Chenyu clinging to Fang Bai like an octopus, and reeking of alcohol, Zhao Xiaomeng asked. Fang Bai nodded and laid Xia Chenyu on the bed, casually asking, "How did you and President Xia end up in Yanjing?" When Fang Bai brought up the matter, the blush on Zhao Xiaomeng’s face faded, and she sighed with a sorrowful expression, "President Xia came out to clear her mind, and also to borrow money from friends." "Borrow money?" Fang Bai frowned. "Yes, the company has suffered severe losses, and even normal operations have become a problem. President Xia wanted to borrow some money to tide things over, but after asking several friends, all of them said they didn’t have any... Sigh, President Xia has been so down lately, she’s lost a lot of weight. Fang Bai, you must talk to President Xia..." It was only then that Fang Bai realized the crisis faced by Xia Chenyu’s "Beauty Company" was even more serious than she had mentioned in the bar earlier. "How much money does President Xia plan to borrow for the turnover?" Sёarch* The Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "About a hundred million." "..." Fang Bai scratched his head, having originally intended to lend the more than ten million he had on him to Xia Chenyu. Listening to Zhao Xiaomeng, he dismissed the idea. More than ten million compared to a hundred million was too little; it wouldn’t help Xia Chenyu’s company’s predicament much. "Xiao Meng, take care of President Xia for me... Have her give me a call tomorrow morning. I have something to discuss with her." After Fang Bai said this, he left the women’s room. Stepping out of the hotel entrance, Fang Bai walked back to Yanjing Hospital, and on the way, he called Su Yifei, who was far away in Zhongzhou. "Yifei, I need to borrow some money from you." "How much do you need? Just say the word!" "Two hundred million!" "Alright, when do you need it?" "By eight o’clock tomorrow morning at the latest. Just transfer it directly to my bank account." "Okay, I’ll let you know once the transaction succeeds, and you check it on your end." "Yifei, thank you." "We’re brothers, no need for thanks! Later, you can teach me a few tricks." "No problem." ... After a few minutes on the phone with Su Yifei, Fang Bai borrowed two hundred million from him, without issuing any proof, which proved Su Yifei’s trust in Fang Bai. After work in the afternoon, Fang Bai was planning to have dinner and then return to the courtyard house, but Baili Mingyue called him, inviting him to try her cooking. Since Baili Zhan left, Baili Mingyue, under her mother’s guidance, had begun to learn cooking. The previous days were all about theory, and today was her first time cooking; she wanted Fang Bai to taste her food and give some feedback. Moved by Baili Mingyue’s good intentions, Fang Bai could not bear to refuse, so he quickly returned to the courtyard house and sat down at the table prepared by Baili Mingyue. Baili Mingyue pushed her mother out of the room as well and then happily dashed to the kitchen, making a bustle of sounds; soon after, she brought out several dishes.
