Chapter 2191: I Really Underestimated You

Seeing the coach was still nagging, Jiang Mobai couldn't help but interrupt him: "Look at you, you're not that old, why are you so long-winded?"

The coach didn't expect to be treated with such disdain and was instantly rendered speechless.

After a few seconds, he said sullenly: "I never thought I'd be this long-winded either, until I met you."

As he spoke, he looked at Jiang Mobai with resentment.

Jiang Mobai's gaze, however, was not on the coach.

He bypassed the coach and saw Wang Zi waving at him not far away.

Clearly, Wang Zi had something to find him for.

And what he had to say could not be heard by the coach.

Jiang Mobai withdrew his gaze, patted the coach on the shoulder, and said: "You, you only tell me to adjust my state, but I think you need to adjust yourself too; you're being overly cautious."

"I..."

"Let's not talk about it for now, I'm going to go rest for a bit."

Jiang Mobai didn't wait for the coach to finish speaking, interrupted him, and then walked over to Wang Zi's side.

Wang Zi confirmed the coach wasn't following before whispering: "Someone called you just now, it rang for a long time."

During team training, mobile phones should be kept in the lockers.

But Jiang Mobai was worried about the situation with Su Kexuan at any time, so he kept his phone by his side.

Or had Wang Zi help hold it.

Hearing Wang Zi's words, Jiang Mobai took back his phone and went to a corner.

The call was from Young President Zhou.

Jiang Mobai stared at Young President Zhou's number, hesitated for a moment, then called back.

His intuition told him that Young President Zhou wouldn't have anything important to find him for.

But...

What if his prediction was wrong?

Jiang Mobai lowered his eyes and waited quietly.

The phone rang for a while before it was answered.

Then came a burst of noisy music, pounding against Jiang Mobai's eardrums.

However, the music quickly faded away.

Presumably, Young President Zhou had walked to a quiet place to talk to Jiang Mobai.

"What do you want with me?"

Jiang Mobai asked concisely.

And Young President Zhou's news was earth-shattering: "Jiang Mobai, don't blame me for not tipping you off, Su Kexuan is being forced to drink!"

A single sentence made Jiang Mobai's expression change instantly.

He gritted his teeth and asked: "Who has such a death wish!?"

"I have an impression of that man, his surname is Tang; he doesn't come often, but he's not someone who lacks female companions. There's also a middle-aged man with him, and the one forcing Su Kexuan to drink right now is him!"

"Hurry up and stop them!"

"Oh, they are here to spend money at my place, and they haven't done anything out of line, how can I stop them? Tipping you off is already doing my best."

"Then... have your people keep an eye on things, don't let Kexuan suffer, I'm coming over right now!"

"Hey, alright then."

Jiang Mobai hung up the phone.

Young President Zhou stared at his phone, feeling uneasy.

He always felt he shouldn't meddle in other people's business.

But on second thought, if Su Kexuan were bullied on his turf...

Then Jiang Mobai would skin him alive!

So tipping him off was the right thing to do.

And keeping a secret watch had to be done.

Young President Zhou told the waiter to send some drinks and fruit into the private room whenever they had a chance, to keep an eye on the situation inside at all times.

And inside the private room, the people frequently raising their glasses to Su Kexuan were none other than Director Tang and Young Master Tang.

Director Tang wanted to play matchmaker for the two young people, so he chose a meeting place that young people would like.

And he had another ulterior motive for choosing a bar:

With a man and a woman drinking too much alcohol...

It was very likely that something that shouldn't happen would happen!

Director Tang had a smiling face.

At this moment, his smile deepened, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said: "Although I am this brat's cousin, there is a large age gap, and in daily life, I treat him like my own son."

"It is truly a blessing to have a senior like you to guide me! Come, I toast the two of you."

Ah, drinking again?

Hearing this, Director Tang's face turned a bit green.

When the drinking session started, Director Tang had forced plenty of alcohol on Su Kexuan.

His actions were, to some extent, bullying a young girl.

But Su Kexuan didn't lose her composure at all, acting with grace and poise.

And now, she had even turned from passive to active.

Director Tang was about to be unable to hold his own!

However, watching Su Kexuan drink hers in one go as a gesture of respect, Director Tang could only rub his round belly, grit his teeth, and drain his glass as well.

Setting down the wine glass, Director Tang let out an uncomfortable hiccup.

Not daring to let Su Kexuan find another excuse to toast him, he changed the subject: "My cousin here, although he has achieved some small success in his career, is dull in personality, especially when it comes to romance; he's just like a block of wood."

The young Master Tang being critiqued pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes looking a bit unfocused.

Su Kexuan did not delve into the truth or falsehood of this assessment.

She simply followed Director Tang's lead and continued: "Young Master Tang is mature and has great insight; he is a role model for me to learn from."

"Oh, please don't praise him anymore, the brat will get arrogant."

Director Tang was being modest.

However, the smile in his eyes carried a sense of immense pride.

Su Kexuan was also smiling.

Suddenly, she lowered her eyelashes, and her smile restrained somewhat.

She said: "I envy Young Master Tang for having a wise elder by his side to offer guidance, unlike me; when I encounter problems that are hard to decide, I can only carry them myself."

"Oh, judging by what you mean, Miss Su, have you been troubled lately?"

"Indeed, the company is currently preparing a new project, and we are considering choosing a location in Dong Qu."

Upon hearing those two words, Director Tang's somewhat hazy eyes cleared up a bit.

Su Kexuan watched him calmly.

Her gaze flickered slightly, then she said: "It is rumored that it is about to be developed into a Xin Qu, but these are all internal reports without any confirmation. Our project investment is huge, and I truly hope for some guidance from a senior."

While speaking, Su Kexuan took the initiative to pour more wine.

However, this time, as she poured the wine, a small envelope appeared in front of Director Tang.

Director Tang glanced at the envelope but did not touch it, instead saying with a smile: "Some words, if spoken by me, carry responsibility. But if it's one of our own... I am willing to bear that responsibility."

As he spoke, Director Tang looked at Su Kexuan, then looked at young Master Tang.

What Director Tang meant was very obvious.

He wanted Su Kexuan to establish a relationship with young Master Tang.

But could Su Kexuan sell herself out for a piece of information?

Immediately, Su Kexuan began a new round of plying him with drinks.

Her words were watertight.

They made it impossible for him to refuse.

They also made Director Tang, who was already dizzy and muddled from drinking, even more confused.

As for young Master Tang?

He was already leaning against the sofa, drunk and unconscious.

Director Tang let out a long breath, then waved his hands, begging for mercy: "I really can't drink any more."

"Director Tang, you have a massive capacity for alcohol; we've barely started."

"The one with the true capacity is you, Miss Su. I really underestimated you."

"Not at all, I am just forcing myself to hold on."

Su Kexuan was indeed forcing herself to hold on.

Her stomach felt very uncomfortable.

If she hadn't taken an anti-hangover pill before coming, she would probably be in a very sorry state right now.

However, on the surface, Su Kexuan's smile remained calm.

Apart from her flushed cheeks, one truly couldn't tell she had been drinking.
