Chapter 2527: Outsiders: Xiaochen Loses Memory 17
The lights outside the club were on, and well-dressed men and women walked in, chatting and laughing.
Ye Lu and a few friends just got out of an online taxi, obviously dressed up carefully.
"I heard it's hard to make an appointment here. Lulu, you're amazing!" A friend flattered Ye Lu while holding his arm.
Ye Lu smiled reservedly, but a sense of pride could not be hidden in his eyes. "It just so happens that a friend of mine knows the manager here."
The fog spread over and covered the step that Ye Lu was about to step on.
"Ouch!"
Ye Lu stepped onto the stairs without any preparation, his ankle suddenly twisted outward, and he lost his balance and fell heavily to the ground.
He curled up in pain, covering his ankle which was rapidly becoming red and swollen. Tears flowed uncontrollably and welled up in his eyes.
Jinchen hovered at low altitude, and the edge of the mist swirled slightly with satisfaction.
It's time to go now.
He even adjusted his state, ready to quietly approach and taste the halo energy when Ye Lu was helped up.
However, Ye Lu sat on the ground for a while, catching his breath, and with the help of his friends, he gritted his teeth and stood up again.
He carefully moved his injured ankle, grimacing in pain and frowning with every movement.
But it seems that the bone is fine, just a common sprain.
"I was so scared..." Ye Lu complained to his friend in a tearful voice, "Luckily I just twisted it a little, it hurts..."
His friends quickly gathered around to comfort him, and one could faintly see their flattery for Ye Lu, "Yes, yes, Lulu, you are so lucky."
Jin Chen, who had carefully created the accident, asked: "?"
He stared at Ye Lu's ankle in disbelief, filled with confusion and frustration.
[He is the monster, this is not acceptable! ]
This human structure is really weird.
Ling Gungun quickly explained, "Host, calm down. Perhaps his protagonist aura is still quite strong, and with his good fortune, a minor incident like this can be easily resolved."
[It seems a head-on confrontation won't work. We need to be strategic.] Master Pixiu patiently persuaded.
[It's better to let him in first according to the plot, and then intervene at the critical juncture. That way you can effectively consume energy.]
Jinchen was extremely unhappy and rolled over angrily. He could only reluctantly retract the mist and follow Ye Lu and the others into the club.
With the help of his friends, Ye Lu limped to a booth in the leisure area and sat down.
The waiter quickly brought an ice pack, and he applied it to his ankle while he and his friends ordered a few expensive cocktails.
After a few drinks, the pain seemed to ease a little, and the conversation turned to the usual complaints.
He first complained about the triviality of his work, his strict boss, and his difficult colleagues, and his tone was full of grievances of being unappreciated.
But soon, the topic inevitably returned to Zhou Chengjun.
"But fortunately, we still have President Zhou in the group," Ye Lu held the wine glass, with the ice bag aside, his eyes becoming blurred and longing.
"As long as I think about being in the same building, or even on the same floor, with Mr. Zhou every day, I feel... no matter how tired I am, it's worth it. As long as I can see him, I feel very happy."
His friends exchanged knowing glances with each other and started to tease him, saying that he was really deeply in love.
Just then, footsteps and low voices were heard from the passage next to them.
Zhou Chengjun and his group were just coming out of the billiard hall, about to move to their reserved private room. The two groups bumped into each other in the dimly lit corridor.
The young man next to Ye Lu had the sharpest eyes. He immediately lowered his voice and pushed him excitedly, "Lu Lu, look who that is! Speak of the devil! He appears!"
Ye Lu looked up when he heard the voice, and through the crowd, he saw Zhou Chengjun, who was slightly protected by Liu Zou and Liang Yanze, and was talking to General Wang with his head tilted.
He was very surprised, as if this meeting was a fate destined by God, and he could no longer see anyone else in his eyes.
"Mr. Zhou, good evening!"
Ye Lu almost forgot the pain in his ankle. He stood up suddenly and went straight to meet him, completely ignoring the fact that this was obviously a high-end business occasion.
And the partner with a strong aura next to Zhou Chengjun.
However, Mr. Wang was an old hand who had seen a lot in both the romantic and business circles. He immediately gave Zhou Chengjun a knowing and ambiguous smile, and gently nudged him with his elbow to tease him.
"Mr. Zhou is truly...charming. Even when he's out discussing business, he's often chased by beauties of this stature to greet him."
Zhou Chengjun: “?”
He frowned, but he had experienced this kind of scene so many times that he was immune to it.
The world of the domineering president always seems to be like this. No matter where he goes, there are always some inexplicable people who will pounce on him.
Fortunately, he only has his Xiaotang in his heart, and these beautiful girls are no different from the stones on the roadside in his eyes.
After all, I didn't even remember this person's name.
Zhou Chengjun sighed like a boss.
Liang Yanze's sharp gaze passed over the crowd and fell on the blurry black mist following Ye Lu not far away. Doubt flashed across the calm eyes behind the lenses.
It seemed like it was the same in the group office before, Jinchen always liked to hover around Ye Lu.
Liang Yanze felt a strange blockage in his chest, which made him feel uncomfortable, even a little inexplicably unhappy.
But he quickly suppressed this inappropriate emotion, took a step forward, and unnoticeably stood in front of Ye Lu, who was still trying to get closer to Zhou Chengjun, separating him from Zhou Chengjun and President Wang.
Chief Secretary Liu Zou spoke at the right moment, his tone full of the intention to expel the guest, "Ye Lu, good evening. This is Mr. Zhou's important business dinner, so please excuse me. If you have any work matters, please contact your supervisor during working hours."
Liang Yanze glanced at Ye Lu and sighed.
Can this person change his boss?
The smile on Ye Lu's face froze, and he curled his lips in grievance. He looked at Zhou Chengjun, who didn't even glance at him. He walked straight to the box in the back surrounded by the crowd. He could only stomp his feet unwillingly.
As a result, he took a breath in pain when he touched the injured area.
Jinchen subconsciously wanted to follow Liang Yanze into the private room, but Ling Gungun reminded him, "Host, you are not going to complete the mission with Ye Lu. The key plot is still with him!"
The mist looked at the direction Liang Yanze left with reluctance, "Then I'll go and tell my wife before I go."
Ling Gun Gun thought quickly, "But I can't lie. How are you going to explain to your wife that you're going to keep an eye on Ye Lu?"
[Are you going to just say you're going to eat the halo energy above Ye Lu's head?]
Jinchen was silent for a moment, the mist in his eyes drooping a little. [Yes.]
Moreover, Liang Yanze had repeatedly warned him not to cause trouble tonight. If he knew that he was planning to cause trouble, he would definitely be angry.
He didn't want to make his wife angry.
It’s better not to let my wife know.
He could only reluctantly change direction again, like a depressed dark cloud, and follow Ye Lu who was limping back to the booth in the leisure area.
