"Here it is!"

Tan Yu waved to the two of them, only to see Richard leaning on his shoulder. He was so drunk that no one could wake him up.

"What's going on?" Chong Jianzhi stepped forward quickly and lifted Richard onto himself.

"I arrived at Ningjiang tonight. Two of my friends happened to be there, so we decided to get together. I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived at the bar, I saw Richard staggering out. Before he even walked out of the door, he fell to the ground. I called him but he didn't respond. He was drunk anyway. I really had no choice but to leave him there, so I called Nie Zheng."

Chong Jianzhi nodded, and he and Tan Yu carried the still unconscious Richard into the car.

Several people sent Richard home together. On the way, Tan Yu couldn't help but ask Chong Jianzhi and Nie Zheng what happened to Richard out of curiosity.

"I don't know." Nie Zheng answered honestly.

So everyone's eyes fell on Chong Jianzhi, who had known Richard for many years. Chong Jianzhi was Richard's senior when he was studying for his master's degree. The two of them went from campus to the workplace, and they were not only colleagues but also friends. If Richard really encountered a problem, he would not be unaware of it.

"What's going on? Tell me!" Tan Yu was an impatient person, and seeing that he was hesitant, he couldn't help but start to interrogate him.

This matter must involve Richard's privacy, otherwise Chong Jianzhi would not be so hesitant.

"Forget it. Richard is not a child. If he really encounters something he can't solve, he will tell us." Nie Zheng tried to smooth things over.

At this point, he finally spoke.

"Richard is like this because of Bian Xiaoyue."

Because...Bian Xiaoyue?

This amount of information was so overwhelming that Nie Zheng was unable to react for a moment.

Since Nie Zheng met Richard, she felt that he was a perfect subordinate who was impartial and didn't even have any personal feelings. He devoted almost all of his time to Chong Jianzhi. As Chong Jianzhi's personal assistant, Richard would always be by his boss' side on weekends whenever he needed him. He became Chong Jianzhi's shadow.

Became the shadow of Chong Jianzhi...

Nie Zheng suddenly realized that Richard and Chong Jianzhi were schoolmates! When Chong Jianzhi was doing a project in the UK, Richard was always by his side... So, Bian Xiaoyue and Richard must know each other!

"When they were in England, something happened between Richard and Bian Xiaoyue." Chong Jianzhi had already spoken very obscurely. "Now that Bian Xiaoyue is back, it's normal for Richard to have some mood swings."

On the other side, Tan Yu hadn't figured out what was going on and was still asking who Bian Xiaoyue was.

"So he asked for leave because he didn't want to see Bian Xiaoyue?"

Tan Yu interrupted again at this time, scratching his head and said, "I thought Richard was gay."

Nie Zheng was helpless: "Stop talking nonsense."

Chong Jianzhi did not reveal much about what exactly happened between Richard and Bian Xiaoyue in the UK. He only told the two that Richard was so drunk today most likely because of Bian Xiaoyue.

On the other side, Richard, who was already drunk and unconscious, also confirmed what Chong Jianzhi said. He leaned on Tan Yu in the back seat, his whole body turned into a puddle of mud and he was still mumbling something. Tan Yu approached to listen and found out who he kept calling out.

"Sylvia..."

"Who is Sylvia?"

Chong Jianzhi finally drove the car to the garage downstairs in his community. He slowly reversed the car and took the time to reply to Tan Yu: "Sylvia is Bian Xiaoyue's English name."

Nie Zheng fell into deep thought, she didn't know how many things happened to them in the UK. Richard was so obsessed with Bian Xiaoyue, but Bian Xiaoyue didn't mention Richard at all since she came back to China to film in Lai Touyun. This was probably a one-sided love.

Looking at how dependent Bian Xiaoyue is on Chong Jianzhi, it is hard not to wonder whether Bian Xiaoyue likes Chong Jianzhi.

If so, then perhaps everything could be explained.

The three of them had a good relationship when they were in the UK. Richard had always liked Bian Xiaoyue, but Bian Xiaoyue liked Chong Jianzhi——

"Why are you in a daze?"

Chong Jianzhi had already placed Richard on the big bed in the guest bedroom. Seeing Nie Zheng leaning against the door in a daze, he walked over and touched her head, saying to her with concern, "Go back to your room and rest. It's getting late. You have to go to work tomorrow."

"If Richard has this problem... why did you let Bian Xiaoyue be the spokesperson for Touyun? Richard must be upset that he will see her every time he looks up."

"The company is a place for work." Chong Jianzhi said only one sentence, and she was speechless. "Okay, go back to your room. I'll take care of him."

Chong Jianzhi did not tell Nie Zheng the truth until she left. In fact, it was Bian Xiaoyue who took the initiative to find Chong Jianzhi about the endorsement and said that she wanted to take on the job.

When Chong Jianzhi was evaluating the brand image spokesperson later, he also felt that Bian Xiaoyue was the most suitable candidate, and the two sides decided to cooperate.

In order to become the spokesperson for Touyun, Bian Xiaoyue turned down the invitation from Touyun's competing company at the same time, and the other party offered a full 50% more endorsement fee than Touyun.

Chong Jianzhi knew best what Bian Xiaoyue was thinking.

……

"Mr. Chong..."

Richard finally woke up in a daze. He saw that the person in front of him was Chong Jianzhi. For a moment, he thought he was dreaming. He rubbed his eyes with great effort and asked again, "Why am I here?"

Chong Jianzhi brought a glass of water to Richard, and after helping him drink it, he did not blame him for being drunk, but simply said, "Tan Yu saw you drunk at the bar, and asked Nie Zheng and I to pick you up."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chong, to trouble you again." Richard's tone was as humble as ever. He nodded slightly to him, still acting like an assistant.

Chong Jianzhi sighed, feeling uncomfortable. He said to Richard, "Don't keep things to yourself. You can tell me."

Richard shook his head, his face showing hidden pain. Finally, he just smiled bitterly and said, "I'm fine."

……

The next day.

Nie Zheng was feeling a little listless because of yesterday's trouble. She couldn't even concentrate on the meeting and slumped in her chair, feeling drowsy.

Chong Jianzhi saw all of this. The meeting lasted until almost noon. Chong Jianzhi looked at his watch and said that after the meeting, only Nie Zheng would stay.

Nie Zheng didn't understand what was going on and thought something had gone wrong at work, so she followed Chong Jianzhi into the office with her laptop in hand.

"Boss Chong, I——"

Chong Jianzhi took the computer from her and said, "It's lunch time now, call me brother."

Nie Zheng was a little confused: "Is there any problem at work?"

Chong Jianzhi shook his head and pointed at her thick dark circles. "You didn't sleep well last night. Go to the lounge and take a nap. Then come with me to meet a client in Haoleju this afternoon. You've always wanted to eat there, right? I'll talk about the business, and you just take care of the food."

Nie Zheng blinked twice before she realized that he had called her over to give her some special treatment...
