Chapter 583: All... call them over?

~7 min read 1,295 words

"Cough, cough..." Xu Tian had a mouthful of beer stuck in his throat and almost choked to death.

He really didn't want to hear the three words "Hoodie God" again, and he didn't want Nie Jingjing to mention it either.

She was clearly a fickle woman who only cared about the present, yet why was she so persistent about someone whose appearance she hadn't even seen clearly?

Xu Tian couldn't figure it out. The reason he dared to use this excuse to pull Nie Jingjing into his camp when Du Xiaowei was snatching Murong Xue's resources was because he knew Nie Jingjing's speed of changing boyfriends wouldn't exceed a month, and she would soon forget that encounter completely. Naturally, she wouldn't pester him to ask about that "younger brother" who didn't exist at all.

It's just that he didn't expect Nie Jingjing to persist for so long this time.

Could it be that he had arranged too many vocal lessons and physical training for her recently, so she didn't have time to meet other men?

Then should he give her a few days off recently?

But Xu Tian soon denied this idea. If Nie Jingjing were really let out, she would probably be photographed by paparazzi for gossip again.

Nie Jingjing's reputation hadn't completely reversed yet. It was better not to cause extra trouble at this time.

"Agent Xu! It's your turn!"

The company's little intern was calling him. Xu Tian came back to his senses and found that the game had reached the second round.

Xu Tian took the dice and rolled them a few times casually. After opening them, he found it was three.

Xu Tian:...

It's estimated that there's no number smaller than his.

"Agent Xu, your luck isn't very good today."

Seeing that Xu Tian only rolled a "three," everyone egged him on, letting Xu Tian consider whether it was Truth or Dare. For them, Truth was far less exciting than Dare, but they knew very little about Xu Tian, and they were looking forward to someone asking a more explosive question.

In the end, Qin Yuqing rolled the largest number. She had been at the company for the shortest time and hadn't gotten familiar with Xu Tian, Yan Qingxue, and other employees, so naturally, it wasn't easy to ask some private questions.

"Assistant Qin, why don't you ask Agent Xu how he met his girlfriend?"

"Or ask how far they've progressed now."

"Why don't you just ask for her name or profession?"

"Xu Ge, do you choose Truth or Dare?" Facing various privacy questions, Qin Yuqing looked at Xu Tian with some difficulty.

"Dare." Xu Tian wouldn't choose Truth and give others a chance to gossip about him.

"Tsk... Agent Xu, this is no fun. You really don't give us any chance..."

Others were disappointed when they saw there was no chance for gossip.

"Assistant Qin, you have to think of a harder dare."

"Mm..." Qin Yuqing hesitated for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said, "Then Xu Ge, call your most recent contact and say 'I love you' to her."

This dare seemed exciting, but because Xu Tian had gone out to call his girlfriend when he first entered the bar, Qin Yuqing felt Xu Tian should be able to accept it.

As for the others, except for Nie Jingjing, no one noticed Xu Tian going out to make a call earlier, so they all stared at him excitedly, looking forward to the identity of that most recent contact.

"What if it's a man? How awkward."

"It wouldn't be some director or producer, would it?"

"What if it's an investor, will Agent Xu be scared..."

Amidst the teasing of the crowd, Xu Tian took out his phone, opened the call log, and turned it over to show them.

"The last contact is my wife."

"..."

Everyone was disappointed. The meaning of a dare lies in challenging the impossible. Agent Xu and his wife were already an old married couple, so saying "I love you" wasn't a piece of cake?

But Qin Yuqing had already specified this dare, and they couldn't go back on it, so they could only watch Xu Tian feed them dog food.

Xu Tian dialed Tang Bingyan's number, and it was answered after two rings.

Tang Bingyan had always been like this. Even if she had important meetings or negotiations, as long as her phone was by her side, Xu Tian's calls were always answered in seconds.

"Hello? Wife."

Tang Bingyan: "Finished?"

"Not yet." Xu Tian paused and added, "I love you."

Tang Bingyan was slightly stunned, then reacted.

"Did you lose a game?"

"Yes." Xu Tian admitted frankly, "I was told to say 'I love you' to my most recent contact."

Tang Bingyan pursed her lips: "Then what if the most recent contact wasn't me?"

Xu Tian laughed: "Then I would drink."

Tang Bingyan: "You promised me you'd only drink one glass."

"But I don't want to say I love you to anyone else." Perhaps because he had spoken too much today, Xu Tian's voice was a bit hoarse.

Tang Bingyan's heart skipped a beat, and her ears felt a bit hot.

She had to admit that Xu Tian, who spoke to her in this tone, was really too foul.

"Only beer." This was her bottom line. Thinking of what the psychologist said earlier, as long as there was no strong alcoholic stimulation, it should be fine, right?

Even so, Tang Bingyan was still worried.

After hanging up, she called A Wei over.

"Eldest young lady, do you have something for me?"

"Come with me to the bar to pick up Xu Tian in a while." Tang Bingyan said.

"Understood." A Wei nodded. "I'll go prepare the car."

"Call Bai Lu, Su Jinchen, and the others too." Tang Bingyan added.

"Them?" A Wei was puzzled.

"Mm, call all the dark guards of the first team."

"All... call them over?" A Wei was shocked. "Did something happen to Mr. Xu?"

Tang Bingyan: "Not yet."

"Then..." A Wei still couldn't understand why they needed to mobilize all the dark guards of the first team just to pick someone up from a bar.

"Last time at the bar..."

Tang Bingyan's words immediately made A Wei think of the incident at the bar involving Xu Tian, because of which Chen Xiaoxiao was dismissed by the eldest young lady.

"Are you saying that today Mr. Xu might also..." A Wei didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence. Last time, Mr. Xu didn't recognize anyone, beating the Tang family dark guards who went to support him until their noses were bruised and faces swollen, and the most seriously injured one had to lie in bed for a week before he could get down.

"I'll go call people!" Knowing the seriousness of the matter, A Wei didn't dare to delay.

As for those dark guards of the first team, they could only pray for their own luck, praying that Mr. Xu would be rational today.

Just as A Wei notified the members of the Tang family dark guard first team to gather, Xu Tian, Nie Jingjing, and others in the bar had already played a few rounds of games, and the atmosphere had been stirred up.

"Sister Qingxue, go to the fruit platter at the next table and get a piece of watermelon!"

"Assistant Qin, go to the stage and grab the lead singer's microphone, then sing 'Clanging Rose' with him..."

Xu Tian watched these people playing more and more crazily and reminded them.

"That's enough, there's work tomorrow morning."

"It's not ten o'clock yet, let's play one more round." The crowd, who had already had a blast, was still not satisfied. ===== CHAPTER 584 =====
