In the evening, Zhang Jingye finished handling the company's affairs and hurriedly asked the driver to drive him to the South Hill Villa. After sending the chauffeur away, they entered the outer and inner gates. When they saw Auntie Li, they asked,"Where's Miss Zheng?”"I'm tired. I'm resting upstairs," said Auntie Li. Please take a seat in the hall. I'll go up and ask her to come down to accompany you.”Zhang Jingye nodded, tidied his clothes, and walked to the hall to sit down and rest. Auntie Li poured him a cup of hot tea and quickly went up to the second floor. She opened Xiao Mei's door and said,"Mr. Stanley is back. He's calling you. Hurry up and comb your hair, moisten your face, and go to the hall to accompany Mr. Stanley!”Xiao Mei understood in her heart that the thing that she had been worried about for the past few days had finally arrived! At this point, she had no other choice, no other way out. She could only go through the mountain of blades and sea of flames herself. Helpless, she could only get out of bed and sit in front of the dressing table. She combed her hair in front of the mirror and applied some moisturizer and lipstick before following Auntie Li downstairs.
Xiao Mei came to the hall and saw Zhang Jingye sitting alone on the sofa drinking tea. She hesitated for a moment before walking up to him and saying,"Mr. Stanley, are you off work?" Zhang Jingye looked at Xiao Mei from head to toe. Seeing that she had a pink face and was dressed fashionably, he was quite satisfied. He nodded and pointed at the sofa opposite him."Have a seat." "Thank you!" Xiao Mei said. Then, he sat down on the sofa.
Zhang Jingye looked at Xiao Mei and asked,"Are you satisfied with the bedroom layout?"”"Very satisfied," Xiao Mei replied. "Are the clothes suitable?" "It's suitable," he replied. "Is makeup suitable?" "It's suitable." Zhang Jingye said,"It's good that it's suitable and suitable." In the future, if you need anything, you can tell Auntie Li to buy it. I won't feel bad for this small amount of money, so don't mistreat yourself.”Xiao Mei said,"I will." Thank you for your concern, Mr. Stanley."
"I've been busy all day today. I've finally settled the company's matters," Zhang Jingye said to Auntie Li. Order a few more dishes for dinner and send them to my study. I want to have a few drinks with Miss Zheng to celebrate!”Auntie Li agreed. She knew that Zhang Jingye was going to be alone with Miss Zheng at this time. They were going to have a small banquet in the evening to celebrate the beginning of a new life. She returned to her residence in the guard room and called the restaurant to decide on the dishes that Chairman Zhang and Zheng Xiaomei needed for the evening.
Seeing Auntie Li leave, Zhang Jingye waved at Xiao Mei and said,"Sit beside me." Although Xiao Mei was very unwilling, she did not dare to disobey. She could only get up and sit beside Zhang Jingye. Zhang Jingye stretched out his hand with the gold ring and took Xiao Mei's hand to stroke it repeatedly. He looked up at her pink cheeks and said,"You're very beautiful. I like you very much. You have to be obedient and abide by the rules. Don't let your imagination run wild. I won't treat you unfairly. After a year and a half, you can give birth to a child for me so that I can rely on you when I'm old and have a successor to my career. I'll be satisfied. With this one million yuan, you can treat your son's illness. With the remaining money, you can start a small business. Your future life will not be wrong. We each get what we want, and we will have no regrets in this life.”When Xiao Mei heard Zhang Jingye say this, she could only nod and say,""Thank you, Mr. Stanley. I hope so." Zhang Jingye then talked about the company's business and his various good deeds in Guangzhou. His words were full of self-boast and self-indulgence. Xiao Mei didn't dare to leave. She just listened quietly. She didn't agree or comment. He thought to himself,'I wonder what kind of dirty motive you have hidden behind your good deeds.'
Auntie Li did not dare to disturb Zhang Jingye and Xiaomei in the living room of the building, nor did she dare to take a walk in the garden. She could only wait in the guard room of the inner courtyard for the restaurant to deliver the dishes she had ordered for Zhang Jingye and Zheng Xiaomei's dinner. At this moment, she felt very indignant. Although she was an old member of the Zhang family and had made many contributions to the Zhang family, and Zhang Jingye usually trusted her, it was useless at this moment. Her status was actually inferior to Zheng Xiaomei, a rural woman from northern Jiangsu. Why? Wasn't it because she was young, beautiful, and good-looking? He, Zhang Jingye, liked this kind of thing. What could he do? She was old and wasn't beautiful when she was young. She only had a pair of loyal and hardworking hands. She could only be a servant of the Zhang family forever and serve the Zhang family forever.
Not long after, the security guard outside called and said that the restaurant's chef had delivered the dishes she had ordered for dinner. Auntie Li immediately became alert and did not dare to think too much. She quickly walked out of the guard room and took the key to open the door of the inner courtyard. She rushed to the guard room of the outer courtyard to retrieve the dishes. She carefully entered the inner courtyard and locked the door of the inner courtyard. Then, she entered the building and sent them all the way to Zhang Jingye's study on the second floor. She set the dining table, arranged the dishes one by one, and moved the two chairs closer to the dining table. Everything was arranged properly. After taking a closer look and seeing that there was nothing wrong, he turned around and went downstairs. He came to the hall on the first floor and walked in front of Zhang Jingye. He bowed and greeted,"Mr. Stanley and Ms. Zheng, please come to the study on the second floor for dinner.”Zhang Jingye nodded, then stood up and said to Xiao Mei,""Miss Zheng, please!"
Zhang Jingye held Xiao Mei's hand and went to the second floor. They walked into the study room and saw a small table filled with dishes in the middle of the study room. Two small and exquisite leather chairs were placed opposite each other on both sides of the table. On the ceiling, the flower-shaped chandelier emitted a soft red light. Everything seemed grand, quiet, and peaceful.
Zhang Jingye sat down at the main seat and reached out his hand to ask Xiao Mei to sit opposite him. He took out a bottle of Moutai and said,"I don't like red wine. Our national wine is better." This is a bottle of century-old wine that I have been keeping for a long time. People are in high spirits when they are happy. Today, I am happy. Open it and drink with Miss Zheng. Miss Zheng, please appreciate our national wine.”As he spoke, he opened the bottle cap and filled two glasses of wine. Xiao Mei said,"I don't know how to drink, and I don't know how to appreciate wine."”She took the bottle and said,"Let me pour the wine. You can enjoy it slowly."”"How can that do?" Zhang Jingye said. As the saying goes, if one person doesn't drink, two people don't gamble. How can I enjoy such beautiful scenery, delicious food and wine alone? "Moreover, tonight is very meaningful to you and me. It can also be considered the beginning of a new life. It's worth celebrating! It was worth remembering! A good time is rare. Please accompany me for a drink. Don't spoil my mood!”Xiao Mei saw that Zhang Jingye's words were soft and hard. She knew that she had to drink it, so she picked up her glass and took a sip. She thought, Why does he want me to drink? And it was white wine! Could it be that he planned to do that kind of thing when I was drunk? It was convenient, and he could do whatever he wanted? She secretly warned herself to be careful and not get drunk.
In fact, she was wrong. This was not Zhang Jingye's idea. Now, in Zhang Jingye's eyes, she was already a bird in a cage, a turtle in a jar. She could not fly or climb out. She just wanted to play for a while longer, then take it casually and do whatever she wanted. Based on his experience, this kind of thing couldn't be rushed because it was not sweet to force it. Therefore, he had to use alcohol to communicate his feelings first and create a happy and harmonious atmosphere. He wanted to make sure that it would happen naturally. He said,"Wine is a good thing, but it's also easy to intoxicate. Drink as much as you can. Don't force yourself. It's boring when you're drunk.”He picked up his glass and drank it in one gulp."I'm happy today, pour me another cup.”Xiao Mei poured some wine for Zhang Jingye and thought to herself,'So he wants to drink by himself. Does he see that I'm old and can't do that kind of thing? Does he want to use the power of alcohol to boost his courage?' She was afraid that he would mess around when he was drunk, so she said,"You should drink less. It will hurt your body if you get drunk.”Zhang Jingye thought that Xiao Mei was concerned about his health and said,"Thank you for your concern! We drank casually. It's our first time together, so we'll just use wine as a medium to talk and understand each other so that we can communicate.”He picked up the glass and drank another half of it before putting it down gently. Xiao Mei was relieved to see that Zhang Jingye did not force her to drink, so she also drank a little.
Zhang Jingye finished three glasses of wine and stopped. He lit a cigarette and slowly exhaled smoke. He did not forget to let Xiao Mei eat. Then he talked about Cantonese cuisine, praising the characteristics of Cantonese cuisine: fresh, tender, delicious, fresh but not ordinary, tender but not raw, clear but not bland. In fact, Xiao Mei had already heard these words from Yuying. It was common knowledge in Guangzhou, so she didn't find it new. As Zhang Jingye introduced the dishes, he urged Xiao Mei to eat, taste, and appreciate them. Xiao Mei had no choice but to eat a little of each dish and then nodded to praise the good things about Cantonese cuisine.
Then, Zhang Jingye talked about the hardships of starting a business, financial management, the prosperity of his company, and the various good deeds he did in Guangzhou. There were some things that he had said in the afternoon, and he was just repeating them now. Moreover, she had heard about them from Yuying, which meant that he had said them to Yuying before. What did he mean? He was just bragging, showing off, gaining respect and praise. It seemed that this person liked to show off and enjoyed being praised and flattered by others. She remembered Auntie Li's words. She would have to rely on him for a long time in the future, so she had no choice but to go along with his wishes. She praised him for his successful career and his charitable heart. He was a celebrity's good deed. This was exactly what Zhang Jingye was looking forward to and needed. He was very happy to hear Xiao Mei's words. He asked Xiao Mei to fill up the wine and insisted on drinking with her. He repeatedly hinted. Xiao Mei had no choice but to accompany him. She thought that it was good that he was drunk. Since he didn't know anything, she would just let him be.
Unexpectedly, after Zhang Jingye finished drinking this glass of wine, he asked Xiao Mei to pour some more wine. He actually put down the glass and stopped. He sighed and talked about his wife. He said that she was not infertile. She had been pregnant when she was young, but it was because she was at the start-up stage of the Zhang Corporation. She was overworked and had a miscarriage. She did not pay attention to her health and rest, so she had a gynecological disease. From then on, she had not been pregnant again. He had brought her to all the major hospitals in the country to find famous doctors and seek medical advice. He had seen both traditional and western medicine. He had also invited foreign doctors to treat her. He had taken all kinds of medicine, but it had never worked. In the end, he had given up. They had also thought of adopting a child. They had contacted a few orphanage and visited the child. After thinking about it repeatedly, they felt that an adopted child was not as good as a biological child. In the end, they came up with this idea.
Xiao Mei actually developed some sympathy for Zhang Jingye and his wife. It turned out that they were not the sons and daughters of rich families who inherited their ancestral businesses. The Zhang Corporation's assets were worth hundreds of millions and its reputation was well-known. Madam Zhang was also unable to give birth because of this, which was why Zhang Jingye needed to give birth to a child. From this, she lamented the hardships of an entrepreneur's business and the difficulty of maintaining it. However, she thought, Why did Zhang Jingye tell me this? It was obvious that he was looking for an excuse to give birth to a child through another woman's womb. Was Mrs. Zhang really like this? She couldn't be sure. Did Zhang Jingye really have a child because he had no heir? She couldn't be sure. She had no choice but to listen to him. The rich had their greed, and the poor had their selfishness. She didn't care about his reasons or motives. Since he had already paid the money-the money was real. She had already received the down payment of 300,000 yuan and sent it home to pay for Yulang's bone marrow transplant surgery. This was the only way. She only hoped that everything Zhang Jingye said was true. This matter was indeed discussed by the husband and wife together. It was just for the sake of having a successor to the Zhang Corporation. When Mrs. Zhang found out that she had come to Nanshan Villa, she accepted it and endured it. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if Mrs. Zhang did not admit it and came knocking on her door to denounce her. Recalling Auntie Li's words, she felt that Zhang Jingye's words were true and did not lie to her.
She drank less and talked more. Through conversation, Xiao Mei felt that although Zhang Jingye was vain, competitive, and lecherous, he was still approachable. He was not as rich and overbearing as she had imagined before. He gradually lost some of his fear of strangers.
More than an hour had passed. Zhang Jingye was full of wine and food, and he had said enough. He thought that his words had moved Zheng Xiaomei and won her admiration and sympathy. It was time to move on to the second segment and the second program. This was his true goal. So he asked Xiao Mei,"Miss Zheng, have you eaten?"”Xiao Mei said,"I'm done eating." Thank you, Mr. Stanley!" Zhang Jingye said,"Alright, it's getting late. Let's end it." Go downstairs and inform Auntie Li to come up and clean up the food. After a busy day, I'm tired and need to rest.”Xiao Mei went downstairs to inform Auntie Li.
After a while, Auntie Li came up to clean up the food. Zhang Jingye said," Today's dishes taste good. You can keep the ones you like and give the rest to the security guards."”Then, she said to Xiao Mei,"Auntie Li will clean up this place. Let's go back to our room to rest."”Xiao Mei hesitated for a moment and had no choice but to follow Zhang Jingye out of the study.
Zhang Jingye brought Xiao Mei into his bedroom and took out a set of silk pajamas. He said,"Go wash up and change into this set. It's made entirely of silk. It's soft and smooth. It's very comfortable to wear. You don't have to go back to your bedroom tonight. Just stay here and rest with me.”Xiao Mei said," I'd better go back to my bedroom to rest. You're tired today and you drank too much. I'll disturb your rest here."”Zhang Jingye saw that Xiao Mei declined and said seriously,"Miss Zheng, you misunderstood. Your bedroom is where you rest when I'm not in the villa. Since I'm in the villa, you have to stay here and rest with me. You're not allowed to go back to your bedroom. This is the rule and you have no right to change it. Only in this way can you get pregnant as soon as possible, complete the mission, and get back the one million yuan. We'll fulfill our wishes and everyone will be happy. Otherwise, I have other ways to deal with them. It's not an outcome that you and I want to see!”Xiao Mei could hear that Zhang Jingye's last sentence was threatening her. She thought about it and had no other choice. She could only take her pajamas and take a shower before returning to Zhang Jingye's bedroom.
That night, no matter how painful and unwilling Xiao Mei was, she could only comply with Zhang Jingye and let her tears flow to her heart.
