Chapter 329 Have you had enough?

"I'm heading back first. Handle the rest yourselves."

"Understood, Miss Cui."

Cui Ziqing had gone to great lengths to ensure this banquet was held in Yebai.

However, the results were far from what she had expected; she had ended up working for someone else's benefit.

Now, she was both angry and regretful, vowing that she absolutely did not want to see Zheng Qian for the next few days. He was simply her jinx.

After briefly instructing her staff, she walked toward the main entrance.

She had deliberately parked her car there to make it convenient to pick up Mr. Lu and the others later.

Now, it seemed that was no longer necessary.

But just then, she received a WeChat message from Zheng Qian.

[Come to the back parking lot.]

A few seconds later, another message arrived:

[Alone.]

This was somewhat ambiguous.

She had originally been sulking at Zheng Qian, but upon seeing these two messages, she felt an indescribable strangeness in her heart. Gritting her teeth, she had already reached the main entrance, but now she had no choice but to turn back.

"Hmph, I want to see how you explain this to me."

"Huh? Miss Cui, weren't you planning to head back..."

The employee was stunned to see Cui Ziqing turning back.

"Oh, that... I... well, hurry up and entertain the guests properly! We are the hosts, after all!"

The employees were on the verge of tears.

When passing by the restroom, Cui Ziqing specifically went in to touch up her makeup.

Worried that Zheng Qian might be getting impatient, Cui Ziqing turned to leave in such a rush that she accidentally snagged her stockings on the door frame. A faint, barely visible thread was pulled, revealing a small patch of fair skin on her leg.

The contrast between the black silk and her white leg was striking.

She didn't notice, however, and just kept walking forward.

But as luck would have it, she almost collided head-on with Mr. Lu.

After the speeches ended, he had been waiting for Cui Ziqing to apologize on her own initiative, so he could go with the flow and find a way to spend the night with her, making the trip worthwhile. But after waiting and waiting, she never sent a message.

This made Mr. Lu lose his composure.

He was, after all, a well-known playboy in the JZH area.

Even socialites couldn't escape his grasp, so why was Cui Ziqing from this tiny, backwater place of Yebai playing hard to get?

He was wandering around, wondering whether he should call her, when they happened to bump into each other.

"Ouch..."

"Ah, so it's Mr. Lu. I'm so sorry, did I bump into you?"

Cui Ziqing rubbed her nose in pain and asked with concern.

"I'm fine... that..."

Mr. Lu had been quite pleased to run into Cui Ziqing here. But when his eyes subconsciously drifted to her long legs, he was instantly transfixed. Especially the snag in her stockings—it was enough to spark endless imagination.

Cui Ziqing also sensed something strange in Mr. Lu's gaze.

Following his gaze, her pretty face flushed crimson, and she hurriedly placed her handbag in front of her to cover it.

"Ahem, well, where is Miss Cui in such a rush to go? The banquet hasn't ended yet."

Mr. Lu quickly regained his composure, looked away, and maintained a very gentlemanly smile.

"Something came up at the company, and besides... the Golden Goblet has already been announced, so there's no need for me to stay."

He could hear the resentment in Cui Ziqing's tone.

He couldn't help but laugh.

"Although the Golden Goblet has been awarded, I believe it's still too early for Miss Cui to leave. You must be aware that the Golden Goblet happens every year, but it's very difficult for new wine varieties to maintain strong sales. As for whether they sell well, it depends on how you operate; after all, this is the era where channels are king, right?"

Mr. Lu spoke with such smooth, practiced ease.

Even Cui Ziqing, who had managed family affairs for years, couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Perhaps it was the small incident with her stockings that made her somewhat agree with Mr. Lu's words. Moreover, judging by his implications, it seemed... Xunnidi still had a chance?

Thinking of this, her eyes lit up. "Then, Mr. Lu, what do you mean...?"

Seeing that Cui Ziqing had taken the bait, Mr. Lu stopped talking about it.

He began to change the subject.

"How about this, Miss Cui, are you busy tonight? Oh, don't misunderstand, I don't mean anything else. It's just that I'm leaving tomorrow to handle some business in Shanghu, and I'm afraid it won't be easy to meet in the future."

"I actually think very highly of Xunnidi, I just dislike that guy named Zheng."

"Let's bypass him and talk privately... well, mainly about channel profits, how about that?"

Mr. Lu said this with a straight face, sounding righteous.

He looked like a perfect gentleman.

Although Cui Ziqing felt something was off, she could understand Mr. Lu's reasoning.

Since he was leaving tomorrow, it wouldn't hurt to seize the opportunity to talk today. He was a well-known Sommelier in the industry, so he should at least care about his image. There shouldn't be any accidents.

"Alright, I'll go talk to a friend first, and I'll contact you later."

After getting an affirmative reply from Cui Ziqing, Mr. Lu didn't stay long and found an excuse to return to the venue.

[Tonight, let's double-team the phoenix.]

[Damn it, doing it alone isn't satisfying enough. I want to teach that brat a real lesson. Two guys playing with his woman—isn't he supposed to be a local bully? Let's see how he can hold his head up here in the future!]

After sending the message to Zhou Shaoqi, Mr. Lu felt much better.

Cui Ziqing didn't dare to move her handbag away now.

As soon as she looked up, she saw a car in the distance with its hazard lights flashing; it was Zheng Qian's car.

"Why did you look for me?"

Taking a deep breath, she sat in the passenger seat.

"I noticed your walking posture was a bit off. Are you injured somewhere?"

Zheng Qian looked Cui Ziqing up and down.

When she was walking over just now, Zheng Qian had definitely felt something was amiss.

Although she was wearing high heels, this wasn't her first time, yet he felt her legs were somewhat uncoordinated.

"No... nothing."

Not expecting Zheng Qian's observation skills to be so sharp, Cui Ziqing subconsciously squeezed her thighs together and covered them with her handbag.

This action only made Zheng Qian more suspicious.

"Still saying you're fine! Let me see, did you bump your leg somewhere?"

Zheng Qian cast a reproachful glance at Cui Ziqing.

"I said no means no... Ouch..."

She hurriedly tried to block him, but how could she be a match for Zheng Qian?

He pulled away Cui Ziqing's delicate hand and tugged it back. Suddenly... his mouth went wide open, and his eyes went straight.

Cui Ziqing's thigh had originally been snagged, and a bit of it had caught on her handbag. As a result of this tugging, a large section was torn open, extending deep into her skirt.

"You... let go of my hand!"

"Hey! You're hurting me!?"

Cui Ziqing was already blushing crimson, so shy she couldn't control herself.

But what left her speechless was that Zheng Qian was staring straight at her, and even... even smacked his lips!

Despicable!

She really regretted agreeing to come here with Zheng Qian!

She could only squeeze her legs together tightly and moan helplessly, "Have you seen enough!?"
