Chapter 872 Who else should I punish if not him?
The elevator entrance of Xingteng Restaurant is covered with dark red carpet, and the fur makes no sound when you step on it.
Jiang Chengyu put his right hand in his coat pocket, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the edge of the car keys, his eyes fell on the jumping floor numbers, his expression was a little nonchalant.
Jiang Li and her friends stood aside, holding the restless Sheng Xue in their hands.
The little white horse would occasionally wag its tail and gently stamp its hooves on the carpet, stirring up a little excitement in the air.
The waiter had sharp eyes. Seeing the elevator door slowly slide open, he immediately bowed and made a "please" gesture, his arm drawing a perfect arc: "Everyone, please come this way."
Jiang Chengyu stepped in first, and the girls followed behind, surrounding Shengxue. Their suppressed giggles could still be heard the moment the elevator door closed.
In the top-floor office, Teng Zijing was casually resting his long legs on the desk, the heels of his black leather shoes tapping lightly against the mahogany tabletop.
On the computer screen in front of him, the surveillance footage clearly showed the scene in the hall just now - Qi Haoyu's drunken appearance,
Jiang Chengyu's frowning expression and the group of girls following behind him could all be seen clearly.
"You're talking about Mu Xiaoji and Jiang Chengyu's complicated relationship," he suddenly said, his eyes never leaving the screen, his tone a little playful, "could he still be interested in women?"
Deng Zhouyi had just brewed a cup of Longjing tea. Upon hearing this, he paused and poured the tea into the cup, his eyebrows slightly raised: "Master Jing, this is nonsense. What are you talking about?"
Teng Zijing sneered, pulled his legs off the table, stood up and straightened his suit cuffs:
"Nothing, I just want to see how charming this Mr. Jiang is—not only does he have women surrounding him, but he can also drive men crazy for him."
He grabbed his coat from the back of the chair and threw it over his shoulders, then opened the office door and said, "Let's go down and take a look."
Deng Zhouyi put down the teapot in his hand and quickly followed. His leather shoes made a crisp sound on the marble floor of the corridor.
The two elevators stopped at the VIP restaurant on the third floor almost at the same time and collided with a light "ding" sound.
As soon as the elevator door on Jiang Chengyu's side opened, the waiter hurried over and bowed slightly to lead the way: "Mr. Jiang, this way, please. The private room you reserved is the third one on the left."
The other elevator door slowly opened, and Teng Zijing and Deng Zhouyi walked out. Teng Zijing saw Jiang Chengyu at a glance and shouted, "Mr. Jiang, what a coincidence."
Jiang Chengyu turned around upon hearing the voice, a smile instantly spreading across his face as he extended his hand: "Mr. Jing, Happy New Year. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Holding hands, Teng Zijing glanced at the group of girls behind him, raising his eyebrows: "Aren't you in G City with your mother? When did you return to Kuncheng?"
"Hiss--" A soft hissing sound came from the side of her feet. Sheng Xue broke away from Jiang Li's hand, trotted to Teng Zijing, and rubbed her head against his trouser leg.
Teng Zijing smiled and squatted down, reaching out to stroke Shengxue's head: "Hey, isn't this Shengxue?
It's been a while since I last saw you. You've become even more beautiful now. Look at your white fur, it looks like it's covered in snow."
The little white horse squinted comfortably, raised its neck slightly, and let out a low, contented neigh, rubbing its head against his arms again, as if urging him to continue.
"Just got back this afternoon." Jiang Chengyu looked at this scene, and the smile in his eyes softened a little.
"I was gone for half a month. I wanted to go to the company to see Shengxue, but I didn't expect Jiang Li to bring it back home.
I just brought it back, and since it's Chinese New Year, I thought I'd treat everyone to a meal. What a coincidence to meet Master Jing."
Teng Zijing stood up, his eyes swept across his face, and suddenly changed the subject: "Where is Jiang Shuo?
Why didn't I come with you? Or was I afraid the little one would ruin your plans? " He raised his chin in the direction of the group of girls.
Jiang Chengyu punched him in the chest helplessly: "What are you talking about? You know my situation, but you still tease me so unskilledly."
His voice dropped. "Jiang Shuo didn't come back. From now on... he will live with his father in G City."
Teng Zijing caught the loneliness that flashed across his eyes, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Why, you can't bear to leave?"
"No..." Jiang Chengyu shook his head, his eyes drifting off into the distance. "It's mainly because Mu's mother is still in the hospital, and Jiang Shuo will be starting school soon, so it's more convenient for him to stay there."
The girls not far away could no longer contain themselves and gathered together to whisper, but their eyes were glued to Jiang Chengyu and Teng Zijing as if attracted by magnets.
"Oh my god, what kind of luck am I today!" The girl in the pink sweatshirt covered her mouth, her voice trembling.
"Boss Jiang is already handsome enough, and now he's running into Young Master Teng from Fengteng International! And that assistant beside him has such a stunning aura, he looks like he walked out of a novel!"
Another girl nodded repeatedly: "I heard that Young Master Teng never speaks politely to women, but today he actually took the initiative to greet her. Mr. Jiang must have a special relationship with him!"
Teng Zijing ignored the commotion over there and put his arm around Jiang Chengyu's shoulders: "Alright, it's New Year's Day, let's not talk about this. Without the little guy messing around, it's a good time to have a few drinks with me."
When the two of them walked in front of the girls, Jiang Li immediately restrained his expression, took a step forward, and bowed slightly in a professional manner: "Mr. Jing, Happy New Year."
Teng Zijing glanced at her and said with a smile, "Don't stand there. Come drink with me and Mr. Jiang tonight, and everyone will get a red envelope."
"Thank you, Mr. Jing!" The girls' eyes lit up and they responded in unison, unable to hide the excitement on their faces.
The group walked into the largest private room. The light from the crystal chandelier shone on the mahogany dining table, making the cups and plates shine.
Teng Zijing raised his chin towards the waiter and said, "Bring up all your signature dishes. Don't be stingy."
Then he turned to Jiang Li and said, "Everyone, feel free to drink. There's plenty of wine for today."
Jiang Li quickly picked up the Maotai on the table, poured a full glass for Teng Zijing, and then added some for Jiang Chengyu.
His movements were smooth and neat, and after pouring, he stood quietly aside, his attitude respectful but not humble.
The waiter quickly came in with a dining cart, followed by two waitresses in cheongsams.
The dishes were arranged skillfully - the shiny roast duck was steaming, the steamed grouper had bulging eyes,
Glowing with a fresh luster, there are also sea cucumbers with abalone sauce, Buddha jumps over the wall... The main dishes are brought to the table one after another, and the fragrance instantly fills the whole room.
Jiang Chengyu glanced at Jiang Li who had been standing and raised his chin: "No need to stand, sit down and eat together. We are all family, there is no need to be so reserved."
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang."
She pulled her dazed girlfriends and sat down at the other end of the table. Her eyes inadvertently swept over the three men at the main seat.
I secretly sighed in my heart - when these three stand together, their aura is enough to blow the roof off the house.
Deng Zhouyi sat aside, taking in the gazes of several beauties, with a playful smile on his lips.
He picked up the wine glass in front of him, tapped the rim of the glass with his fingertips, and a sunny smile appeared on his face:
"Come on, let's raise our glasses together. Today is the first day of the new year. Let's have some fun and have a happy new year!"
"Happy New Year!" Everyone stood up quickly, the glasses clinked together, making a crisp sound, and the wine rippled in the cups.
Jiang Chengyu and Teng Zijing raised their wrists and drank the wine in their glasses, the curve of their Adam's apples rolling neatly and crisply.
Teng Zijing put down his wine glass, glanced at the girls opposite him, and raised his chin towards Jiang Chengyu with a smile:
"Boss Jiang, this is a real treat for your eyes. Would you like to introduce these beauties?"
Jiang Li immediately stood up and began introducing the people next to him: "This is Zhu Ling, Jie Xinyu, Su Wanyue, Xie Beibei, Ye Yao, and Yu Qianqian."
The girls who were called stood up one after another, with bright smiles on their faces, holding up their wine glasses and bowing slightly in the direction of Teng Zijing and Jiang Chengyu.
Zhu Ling was the most lively and spoke first: "Master Jing, we toast you and wish you a prosperous new year."
As he spoke, he took the lead and approached. The others followed and gathered around, all of them responding in unison: "Yes, yes, Master Jing and Mr. Jiang."
Teng Zijing picked up his wine glass and clinked it with theirs one by one, with the rims of the glasses making a slight sound when they touched.
He turned to look at Jiang Chengyu, raised his eyebrows and said, "Hey, why don't you move a little, hold your wine glass and go with everyone."
Jiang Chengyu shook his head helplessly, picked up his wine glass, stood up, clinked glasses with everyone, and when he drank it all, the spicy taste of the white wine rose in his throat.
"Alas, are you treating me like air?" Deng Zhouyi suddenly spoke, with a hint of feigned dissatisfaction in his tone.
Just now, when Yu Qianqian stood up and walked towards Teng Zijing, he took advantage of everyone's attention being on the main seat and stroked her leg with his fingertips lightly.
Yu Qianqian's whole body stiffened. When she turned to look at him, she met his meaningful glances. Her cheeks flushed instantly, but she said nothing.
At this moment, Deng Zhouyi put down his wine glass, his eyes fell on Jiang Chengyu, and he deliberately made things difficult: "Boss Jiang, this will be punished."
Jiang Li was stunned and subconsciously asked, "Assistant Deng, why are you punishing President Jiang?"
Deng Zhouyi smiled, his tone half-serious and half-false: "The people he brought with him don't know the rules, who else should we punish if not him?"
Jiang Li looked a little embarrassed. He picked up the bottle and poured himself a full goblet of white wine. He raised it and said to Deng Zhouyi:
"They are my best friends. We rarely see each other in such occasions. It's my fault for not knowing the rules. I'll drink this as punishment myself and apologize to Assistant Deng."
"Jiang Li." Jiang Chengyu quickly stood up and grabbed her wrist, "Girls should not drink such strong liquor. Let me do it." He wanted to take the wine glass, but Deng Zhouyi raised his hand to stop him.
Deng Zhouyi and Teng Zijing often hang out at drinking parties, and when it comes to these tricks, they have never met an opponent.
He chuckled evilly and shook the bottle in his hand: "Mr. Jiang, this is not sincere."
Then he picked up two more wine glasses, walked over to Jiang Chengyu, put the two glasses on the table, and filled the three empty glasses in front of him.
"Her best friend doesn't know the rules, so she deserves to punish herself. Mr. Jiang wants to be a hero and save the beautiful girl, but one cup won't be enough."
Jiang Li looked at the three full glasses of white wine, his heart tightening, thinking: "If Mr. Jiang continues to drink like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to stand up."
Thinking of this, she bit her lip and made up her mind; she broke free from Jiang Chengyu's hand and said, "Mr. Jiang, please don't stop me."
"Oh, don't be impatient." Deng Zhouyi smiled and held her arm, his eyes moved between the two of them, and suddenly suggested,
"Since both of you accept the punishment, why don't you drink a toast? After you drink this, I'll leave. How about that?"
As he spoke, he did not forget to put his arm around Yu Qianqian beside him and tapped her with his chin, signaling her to join in.
Yu Qianqian immediately understood and joined in the fun: "Yes, yes, sisters, there's nothing wrong with Assistant Deng's suggestion, right?"
"No problem!" The other girls also shouted, with glints of anticipation in their eyes.
Jiang Li looked at Yu Qianqian and the other sisters in disbelief, as if meeting her for the first time, and asked in surprise, "Qianqian, why are you guys helping him?"
Deng Zhouyi ignored her surprise and smiled slyly. He picked up the wine and filled the glasses of the girls surrounding Teng Zijing one by one, with a tone that contained a sense of checks and balances:
"If they don't drink this wedding wine, each of you will drink three glasses as punishment, how about that?"
"Ah?" The girls looked at the full glass of white wine in front of them, their faces suddenly turned bitter. They looked at Jiang Li and Jiang Chengyu, pleading with a little: "Jiang Li, President Jiang, save us!"
Jiang Chengyu is a sincere man, how could he stand such a taunting? He froze in his place for a moment.
His face turned pale and blue, and it seemed that Deng Zhouyi would not stop until he had tortured him to death.
