"That's right." Blake Yue had seen enough of the drama, and she supported her chin with a smile and joined in, "As a grown man, why do you let a woman drink for you? It's not a good look, Mr. Gu."
Connor Gu was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Ethan Ji could just shake his hand and create a leopard.
"When did you learn this technique?" Connor Gu smiled, but his expression was not very good. "You can shake this out, maybe there is some trick in the dice."
"You think too highly of yourself. Drinking wine is not worth all my efforts." Ethan Ji shrugged. "You want to deny ten glasses of wine? Or do you really want your woman to help you drink?"
His words sounded like a question, but the disdain in them could no longer be hidden.
"What's wrong with that?" Connor Gu's smile disappeared, and he ruthlessly moved his shoulders forward, unnoticedly pushing Ava away, and picked up the wine glass. "I don't really want her to help me drink, I just want to change the game."
The wine glasses in the nightclub actually don't have a large capacity, but they can't withstand the strong alcohol. In order to play a prank on others, Connor Gu bought high-proof foreign liquor. The two kinds of liquor mixed together are particularly choking, and after ten glasses, he was a little drunk.
"Drink it all." Ethan Ji raised his chin and pointed at one of the wine glasses that still had some liquid left. "You left so much to feed the fish?"
Connor Gu held back his anger and took another sip from the glass. Although Ava had been with him for a short time, she knew his temper. If she let Connor Gu go back angry, she would be the one to suffer. So she immediately picked up the bottle and tried to pour wine for Connor Gu, and used some tricks to make sure the wine was not too full.
However, Connor Gu raised his hand and blocked the mouth of the cup.
He had a few drinks before, and with these ten glasses of liquor, he was already a little tipsy and a lot bolder. His eyes fell on Ryan Qin.
"Boss Qin, it must be boring just sitting there." Connor Gu said, "Come on, pour me a drink."
All eyes around immediately focused on Ryan Qin.
Ryan Qin just raised his eyes and glanced at him indifferently without moving.
Ethan Ji raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, and subconsciously looked back. The man behind him had sharp features, and his usual aloofness and indifference flashed away, and soon returned to normal.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Connor Gu urged: "Hurry up, don't delay us from drinking."
Ryan Qin opened his mouth to say something when Ethan Ji interrupted him.
"Why should he pour you a drink?" Ethan Ji raised his lips and smiled, making it hard to tell whether he was really cursing or joking. "You don't have hands, or is there no waiter in this bar?"
Ethan Ji originally wanted to say "How could you be worthy of that?", but then he felt that this sentence was implicitly praising Ryan Qin, so he changed his words temporarily.
Ryan Qin is a typical example of a tiger in trouble being bullied by a dog. Ethan Ji considers himself a vicious dog and a master at taking advantage of others' misfortunes. But Ryan Qin is his prey. He can take this tiger home and tear it into pieces, but he is not willing to let others come and lick it. Not to mention that this person is Connor Gu.
No matter how dumb Connor Gu was, he could tell that there was something wrong with what he said: "Ethan Ji, what do you mean by that?"
"Don't you understand what I mean?" Ethan Ji stopped beating around the bush and said to him, "Connor Gu, we are not close enough to sit together and drink and then leave."
Connor Gu had already drunk so many cups, and when Ethan Ji exposed him, his face turned red with anger.
"You mean you were playing tricks on me before?"
Ethan Ji shrugged: "Do you think I have the time to play with you?"
Connor Gu stood up suddenly: "You---"
"Two big bosses!" The nightclub manager who had been standing aside for a long time saw that something was wrong and immediately stepped forward. "Why are you two sitting together? It's so crowded. Mr. Gu, we still have your seat reserved. Why don't you go back and sit down?"
Connor Gu was still standing there with a sullen face. Ethan Ji had saved his face in front of so many people. If he swallowed this anger, he would have no future.
The hotel manager looked bitter and stood there at a loss. These two men were both bad-tempered old men, and he couldn't afford to offend them.
Blake Yue tried hard to wink at Ethan Ji, asking him to give Connor Gu a way out. After all, a powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Connor Gu's father has a bit of a dark background. In such a messy place, they are afraid that they really cannot defeat Connor Gu.
But Ethan Ji didn't accept his suggestion at all.
He didn't take the initiative to provoke Connor Gu, but that didn't mean he was afraid. He had figured it out in just a few minutes. If this guy kept getting in his way, he would get angry sooner or later.
It’s better to turn it over now.
Still want him to give Connor Gu a way out? He could be considered amiable and kindhearted for not kicking this idiot in the back.
"It's a bit crowded. You have your own seat, why are you rushing to take someone else's seat?" Ryan Qin suddenly spoke up, saying lightly, "Are you short of money for this dinner?"
No one expected Ryan Qin to speak. Connor Gu was startled at first, then he widened his eyes and said, "I lack---"
Before he finished speaking, Ryan Qin suddenly leaned towards Ethan Ji and said in a natural tone: "Since we are old friends, why don't you help him settle the bill?"
Ethan Ji lazily leaned on the sofa, his posture was very casual. Hearing this, he paused for a moment, then waved to the manager and said, "Put it on my account."
"I need your little money? You two did it on purpose, didn't you?" Connor Gu laughed angrily, picking on the weak first, "Ryan Qin, I let you interrupt me? Who do you think you are? Do you really think you are still the big boss you used to be? Do you believe that I will let you come in vertically and leave horizontally today?"
Ethan Ji hates it most when someone acts like a grandfather in front of him: "Who are you trying to scare..."
"If you really have this ability." Ryan Qin said calmly, "You wouldn't have had your legs broken half a year ago."
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. Even Connor Gu was speechless, his expression was even more shocked than before.
He had previously caused trouble in another nightclub and touched someone he shouldn't have touched, and the other person broke his leg. He had been lying in bed at home for several months and was only recently able to go out and move around.
Unfortunately, that person is very powerful, and not only he but even his father doesn't dare to provoke him, so he can only swallow the loss.
But he went to the nightclub alone that day, and the incident was not publicized... How did Ryan Qin know? !
This is not a good thing to see. Once it ferments, he won’t have to come out and embarrass himself in the future.
Connor Gu's departure was a disastrous one.
Blake Yue was amused. After the group of demons and ghosts left, she came up and asked through Ethan Ji: "Ryan Qin, what's the story of the broken leg? You must tell me!"
"Nothing." Ryan Qin smiled, "He moved someone who couldn't move, and his leg was broken."
"Really? I haven't heard of such a funny thing?!" Blake Yue was stunned. She took out WeChat and looked through the discussion groups. "My ninety-nine gossip groups are dead?!"
Ryan Qin said: "Maybe the intelligence agents inside are not well-informed enough."
"That's right, they don't do anything serious all day, they just look at handsome guys every day." Blake Yue held the phone and flirted with Ryan Qin, "Brother Ryan Qin, you have passed the review of our gossip group. How about it, are you interested?"
"Is Ethan Ji in there?" Ryan Qin asked.
Ethan Ji frowned: "What does it have to do with me?"
Blake Yue raised her peach blossom eyes: "He thinks we are too noisy and doesn't want to come in."
Ryan Qin smiled and said, "Then I won't go in either."
Ethan Ji: ...
Blake Yue also smiled and winked at him: "Okay, if you are interested one day, feel free to send me an application."
Blake Yue couldn't sit still. As soon as the show ended, he immediately went to the dance floor.
After he was free, Ethan Ji sighed, "Threatening people with this kind of thing is childish."
He had already prepared to fight with Connor Gu, but who would have thought that things would end so easily.
"As long as it works," Ryan Qin said, "Connor Gu's father is in charge of the security of this store. If you fight him, you will suffer."
Just as he finished speaking, a man not far away suddenly came forward, half bent over and said to Ethan Ji: "Brother Ran! Thank you for the last time. The repair shop you recommended is really great. They have all kinds of spare parts. I thought my car was going to be scrapped. I have had that car for several years. I really don't want to part with it if it breaks down."
Ethan Ji said, "It's nothing. Be careful next time you turn. You always turn too fast and easily run off the track."
"Okay, I just want to learn how to drift like you. I won't say any more. I'll toast to you."
"Don't try, you can't." Ethan Ji picked up the wine glass, clinked it with his friend, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Haha, okay, you're awesome. And..." The man filled his own glass again, walked past Ethan Ji, and toasted Ryan Qin, "Hello, Brother Man, I've heard a lot about you."
Having just witnessed the whole process, the man did not expect Ryan Qin to respond. Just as he was about to drink a glass himself, he felt the glass in his hand being gently bumped.
"Hello." Ryan Qin's expression was natural. He took back the wine glass and took a sip.
The man was flattered and drank it quickly: "Brother Man, you may not know me, I, I have seen you at a party before."
"I have some impression." Ryan Qin put down his glass and said casually, "You just mentioned the track, it's..."
"Oh, you don't know? My brother Ran and I recently joined a supercar club. When we have nothing to do, we go there to run a few laps. They are all regular tracks. Brother Man, are you interested?"
"Why are you explaining so much to him?" Ethan Ji sat up and interrupted him, "Come, play dice with me."
"I won't play with you. You can kill me with these dice." The man said, "Brother, Connor Gu has been following you for so long, doesn't he know how good you are at this? He even dares to compete with you in this, how funny."
Ethan Ji snorted and laughed, picked up the dice and shook it casually, then covered the table with it: "Don't be scared, play two games."
Ryan Qin sat aside and watched him. The lights in the nightclub were dim, and when they shone on Ethan Ji's face, they could just outline his outline.
The man who seemed so rude and tough just now actually had surprisingly gentle facial lines and delicate features, making him a thousand times more handsome than the celebrity actors on TV today.
Feeling the vibration coming from his thigh, Ryan Qin retracted his gaze, took out his cell phone and looked at it, then stood up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
After the person left, the person in front of him said, "Brother Ran, I have to tell you something. Ryan Qin is not that easy to mess with. You... really don't fight with him. I met him at the cocktail party. Do you know who he was chatting with?"
Ethan Ji, holding a cigarette in his mouth, asked: "Who is it, the king of heaven?"
"Almost. It's not an exaggeration."
"No matter who he is, I am in charge of him now." Ethan Ji paused, "Drink quickly, don't blame me."
Ryan Qin went to the bathroom and answered the phone: "Mom, what's the matter?"
"Are you still awake?" The middle-aged woman's voice was a little tired. "What's that noise over there? Are you still outside?"
"Well, I have a date." Ryan Qin said, "You are in the United States?"
"Yes, your father and I just arrived today. We just cleaned up the house. When will you come over?"
"I'm not in a hurry yet. You guys stay here first. I'll come visit you when I'm free."
Mother Qin nodded: "Okay, then I will take care of the flowers in the garden and wait for you to come back to accompany me. You don't have to go out for social events every day. Your father finally has some free time, and it's your turn to be busy again. Remember, your health is important. You must go to bed early at night and eat three meals on time."
"Ok, I know."
After hanging up the phone, Ryan Qin turned around and walked to the sink to wash his hands.
"Ryan Qin?"
Ryan Qin looked up when he heard this and saw a familiar face standing behind him. It was a young boss who had just taken office in a company.
"It's really you." The young boss looked slightly surprised, hiding his surprise, "Why are you here? What a coincidence, I just wanted to find you these two days."
"What a coincidence. I'm here to meet a friend." Ryan Qin took out a tissue, wiped it twice, and smiled faintly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"I'm sorry about your family's situation." The young boss looked around. Although there were not many people in the toilet, there were still three or two drunks wandering around. "Shall we find a quiet place to talk?"
Ryan Qin refused and said, "Let's talk about it here. I still need to go back."
"Okay." The young boss said, "Then I won't beat around the bush with you. Ryan Qin, since your family is already in this situation, have you ever considered... moving to another environment for development?"
"It's not very convenient to talk here, so I'll make it short. My company will have a new big project at the end of the year. As long as you are willing to come, it will be yours. As for the commission, I can give you this amount." The young boss put his hand below and gestured a number.
Ryan Qin glanced at it and said, "Your company is very generous."
"I'm not being generous. I know there are many companies that want to hire you. My contribution is nothing." The young boss's eyes lit up: "So what you mean is---"
"But I'm sorry." Ryan Qin smiled, "I've found a good part-time job and plan to take a break. I'm not considering a formal job for the time being."
Ryan Qin returned to the booth and found that Ethan Ji was no longer there.
He asked the person who had just toasted him: "Where is Ethan Ji?"
The man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "Brother Ran just received a phone call suddenly, it seems that there is something urgent, so he left in a hurry. How...didn't he tell you?"
The night breeze is cool.
Ryan Qin walked out of the nightclub and hailed a taxi.
Just as I told the driver the hotel address, a WeChat message suddenly popped up on my phone.
[Dad Ji transfers 1,000 yuan to you]
Then, a voice message of a few seconds came up. It was as if the car window was opened, the wind was whistling, and the boy's voice was mixed in: "Tsk... I have something to do, so I have to leave first. Take this money and take a taxi back."
Ryan Qin accepted the money calmly and transferred it to a friend on WeChat who had been supporting the welfare home for many years.
