Chapter 17

The next day.

A familiar ceiling.

I looked around, and there was no unfamiliar figure beside me.

I sat up abruptly.

My head felt as foggy as if someone had drugged me.

“Damn, it was a dream.”

In the dream, Yan Chen locked me up and demanded me without restraint.

Crazy, absolutely crazy.

The password door beeped.

My friend and roommate came in with breakfast.

We belong to the same company.

She placed the things on the table, walked into the bedroom, and sighed in relief.

“Good thing you’re okay. Yesterday they said you didn’t take the company car.”

I pressed my temples, “Probably some colleague sent me back.”

“Gong, did you buy the hangover soup?”

She pulled open the curtains, “I did.”

“You’re truly something. You drink too much, not only black out but also end up in the hospital, yet you still dare to go wild.”

I was tricked too.

It must have been their special concoction, with a strong aftereffect.

The colleagues didn’t recognize it, insisting it was fruit wine with only three percent alcohol.

I didn’t feel anything while drinking, so I didn’t suspect.

She walked over.

“I called you last night, and I heard someone crying, the voice was quite nice. You weren’t drunk watching porn in someone else’s car, were you?”

I frowned.

“What are you talking about?”

“Maybe I misheard. After the call connected, you called out to me, and then someone started crying, sounded pretty close to you, crying like an abandoned wife, oh no, an abandoned husband.”

My mind was in a haze.

“I need to eat something first, can’t wrap my head around it.”

I drank a couple of sips of something hot.

My soul returned to its place.

Gong Beibei said, “The China region’s president has been replaced.”

“What?”

“Temporary acquisition, the Yan Family’s prince has been on a roll these years, never makes temporary decisions, can’t figure it out.”

I looked up, “Yan Chen?”

“That’s the name. I haven’t been in the domestic scene these years, just heard from others. He cut ties with his family, went solo. Do you know him?”

I shook my head.

She searched for a few pictures on her phone.

“Oh my god, he’s a bit too much, stunningly handsome… Let’s go, tomorrow we don’t have to work, he’s going to listen to the external publicity department’s plan, we can see him up close.”

“What plan? The plan!”

I was completely awake.

Tomorrow I have to do the presentation.

Luckily, the PPT was already done.

I finished eating, picked it up, and went over it a few more times.
