Chapter 532 Keeping a Canary in Captivity (11)
Yan's mother brought the phone over, and just as Yan's father was about to reach out to take it, Yan Zhen pressed down on his hand.
"Dad, how will I know if I can do it if I don't try?" Yan Zhen said. "If you're worried about things going wrong, have the vice president come with me. I'll sit there as your mascot. First, it will prove that our Yan family values this cooperation, and second, I'd like to see what it's like. In short, I won't embarrass you."
Yan's father always granted his daughter's every request. After hearing Yan Zhen's words, he assumed she was just curious and, after thinking about it, agreed.
"Row."
The meeting was held at a high-end hotel in Hangzhou.
Yan's father's assistant drove Yan Zhen to the hotel to meet Vice President Chen.
Vice President Chen was a middle-aged man in his forties. After they met, with half an hour left before the meeting started, Yan Zhen quickly reviewed the main points of the meeting and asked Vice President Chen a few questions.
At first, Vice President Chen regarded the young lady who occasionally came to the company to deliver soup to the president as someone who was there to experience life.
But the questions she asked were very insightful, and she understood them after I explained them to her briefly.
He gradually realized that the young lady was not as simple as he had imagined.
The meeting began shortly afterward.
Initially, Vice President Chen was in charge of managing the meeting, but as the partners raised more and more questions, some of which were even somewhat difficult, Vice President Chen gradually found himself struggling to cope.
At this moment, Yan Zhen spoke up and began to argue with the partner in a calm and unhurried manner.
Yan Zhen didn't know much about the company's affairs, but she maintained a perfect balance of humility and arrogance. Any more would be too sharp, and any less would seem weak. She would leave the most technical questions to the vice president to explain, while she would handle the rest herself.
After several hours of meeting, the person in charge of the partner was very satisfied with Yan Zhen. After signing the contract, he took the initiative to suggest having dinner together.
Yan Zhen smiled and said, "This hotel's signature dish is seafood. The private room was booked a long time ago. This way, please."
Both parties enjoyed a pleasant dinner, and the partner added Yan Zhen's contact information before leaving.
Vice President Chen, who witnessed the whole thing, was secretly astonished.
After the meal, Vice President Chen escorted the partners back to their hotel. Yan Zhen sat alone in the private room, rubbing his temples wearily.
She didn't sleep well last night, and she was busy all day. She also drank a little alcohol in the evening. Now she feels a throbbing and throbbing sensation in her temples.
Mr. Yan's assistant walked in and asked in a low voice, "Miss, shall we take you home now?"
Yan Zhen let out a breath, leaned on the back of the chair and stood up: "Let's go."
The two left the private room, and after only a few steps, the door to the next private room suddenly opened, and someone was roughly pushed out, his body slamming against the wall.
Yan Zhen paused, looking at the person who had fallen to the ground—it was Jing Chen again.
Is she bound to the Supreme God by some kind of system where they must meet, or she will die if they don't?
Jing Chen slammed into the wall, seemingly stunned and not quite able to react for a moment.
A man in his thirties chased after Jing Chen from the private room. He grabbed Jing Chen's collar, pulled him up from the ground, and angrily cursed, "You're about to be blacklisted, what the hell are you pretending to be so high and mighty for? If you don't want to sleep with someone, what are you doing here? I've paved the way for you, and you're ruining my place. Are you tired of living?!"
Yan Zhen: "..."
These words contained a lot of information, and she couldn't help but look at Jing Chen.
It seems that the supreme god of this world is much poorer than she imagined, so poor that he has to sell himself.
Jing Chen's cheeks were flushed, his breathing was rapid, and his eyes were unfocused. He grabbed the man's hand that was clutching his clothes, as if trying to pry it off.
But he had almost no strength left, and could only plead, panting, "Brother Tao, for the sake of all these years of cooperation, please don't do this to me..."
"Do you think I want to?!" the man called Brother Tao said angrily in a low voice. "If you hadn't offended someone and almost got me blacklisted by the entire industry, would I have to do this kind of pimping? I'm warning you, this is your last chance. Go in and serve me well!"
"Do not……"
Before Jing Chen could finish speaking, Brother Tao slapped him across the face.
Jing Chen was stunned by the slap. For a moment, his expression was blank, but then it turned into one of utter humiliation.
"Don't want to do it? Then you'll have to wait to pay the penalty for breach of contract! Your mother is still lying in the hospital waiting for a kidney transplant. If you lose this job and are burdened with tens of millions in penalties, let's see how you save her! You think you can get a bright future by drinking a few drinks, putting on a smile, and sleeping with someone? Besides me, who else can give you such a good opportunity?"
These words seemed to sway Jing Chen, and he fell silent.
Seeing that he had finally stopped struggling and resisting, Brother Tao softened his expression, released his grip on Jingchen's clothes, and patted his shoulder: "Listen to me, go inside."
Jing hesitated for a few seconds, then nodded slightly.
Tao Ge finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But as he was about to lead Jingchen into the private room, Jingchen took advantage of his turn, turned around, and ran away.
But Tao Ge kept an eye on him out of the corner of his eye. The moment Jing Chen tried to escape, Tao Ge pounced like a nimble leopard and knocked Jing Chen to the ground.
The two of them fell solidly at Yan Zhen's feet, like a human pyramid.
Yan Zhen: "..."
Tao Ge, cursing and swearing, tried to drag Jing Chen up. As Jing Chen struggled, he caught sight of Yan Zhen, who was standing by watching the commotion. Instantly, he reached out to her like a drowning man grasping at a straw: "Save me! Please, save me!"
Yan Zhen frowned.
When Tao saw that Jingchen not only disobeyed but also tried to ask others for help, he was so angry that he punched Jingchen.
But the punch was caught by Vice President Chen, who was standing next to Yan Zhen.
Tao was taken aback.
Vice President Chen is a fit and muscular man who works out regularly. After grasping Brother Tao's fist, Brother Tao tried to pull it away twice but couldn't break free.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Jing Chen pushed Tao Ge aside and scrambled behind Yan Zhen to hide.
Vice President Chen then let go of his hand.
Tao immediately took a few steps back, creating some distance to examine Yan Zhen.
Having navigated the world of fame and fortune for many years, Brother Tao is not oblivious to people's opinions. He could tell at a glance that Yan Zhen was someone of considerable background, either rich or powerful.
Realizing this, when Brother Tao spoke, his tone was completely devoid of the condescending air he had when facing Jing Chen: "You are..."
Yan Zhen ignored him and instead turned his head to look at him with a serious expression: "How did it get like this again?"
With just one word, "again," Tao Ge immediately realized that Jing Chen had a close relationship with the rich woman in front of him.
Jing Chen lowered his head in agreement and said softly, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."
Yan Zhen sighed and said to Vice President Chen, "Go and handle it."
"Yes."
Vice President Chen went into the private room and came out in just a few minutes.
"Miss, it's all taken care of."
Tao's expression changed slightly.
"Let's go." Yan Zhen didn't linger and walked away.
After taking a few steps, she saw Jing Chen standing in place and frowned slightly: "What are you still standing there for? Do you want me to invite you?"
