Chapter 20 Who made you drunk?
Tan Haoyu moved closer to Zhu Ziqing, gently reached out and removed a leaf that had somehow gotten stuck in her hair, and said softly, "I'll arrange a sightseeing bus to take you there."
Zhu Ziqing gave him a grateful look, then turned and followed the sightseeing bus away.
Tan Haoyu stood still, his gaze following Zhu Ziqing's retreating figure.
He only slowly withdrew his gaze after she disappeared from sight.
He took out his phone and dialed Yang Piaoliang's number.
A moment later, Yang Piaoliang hurried over and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Tan, Ma Dongmei's termination contract has been prepared."
Tan Haoyu gave a cold snort: "Hmm. Get her out of here as soon as possible!"
After Zhu Ziqing returned to the team, Wang Dazhuang immediately ran over anxiously, his eyes full of worry: "Zhu Ziqing, you're finally back! I was so worried, I couldn't find you anywhere."
As he spoke, his hand unconsciously reached out to grab Zhu Ziqing's arm, but Zhu Ziqing skillfully dodged it by turning to the side.
Zhu Ziqing explained with a smile, "I'm sorry, Wang Dazhuang, I was admiring the scenery over there and didn't notice the time."
Soon, it was time for dinner.
Wang Dazhuang warmly led Zhu Ziqing to the luxurious living room on the first floor.
The luxurious living room was exquisitely and brilliantly decorated, with warm yellow lights shining on the floor, creating a cozy atmosphere.
Colleagues sat around a large round table, which was laden with various delicious dishes.
During the meal, everyone was in high spirits, with laughter and cheerful conversation filling the air.
Someone suggested playing some games to liven things up.
So everyone started playing a number guessing game, and the loser had to drink a glass of wine as a penalty.
Zhu Ziqing was also caught up in the lively atmosphere and joined in.
After several rounds, Zhu Ziqing unfortunately lost a few times and drank a little alcohol.
Her cheeks gradually flushed, and her eyes became somewhat unfocused.
His body swayed slightly, clearly indicating that he was somewhat drunk.
At that moment, Tan Haoyu and Yang Piaoliang happened to witness this scene.
Yang Piaoliang smiled teasingly and said softly, "It seems that Zhu Ziqing is very popular with her colleagues and gets along so well with them."
Upon hearing this, Tan Haoyu's face darkened, and he coldly replied, "This is none of your business."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Zhu Ziqing didn't return to her residence until 8 p.m.
She walked into the house and saw Tan Haoyu still busy in the study. She couldn't help but admire his diligence.
Hearing the noise, Tan Haoyu looked up and saw Zhu Ziqing.
He frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure in his eyes: "You've been drinking? Drinking is bad for your health, especially for women. You should drink less."
He put down his pen, stood up, and slowly walked towards Zhu Ziqing.
Zhu Ziqing admitted somewhat embarrassedly, "I only drank a little. I will try to drink less in the future."
She stood there, head slightly bowed, her hands unconsciously clutching the hem of her clothes.
Zhu Ziqing saw Tan Haoyu frown and felt inexplicably nervous, standing up straight like a child who had done something wrong.
Then, she politely said to Tan Haoyu, "I'll go back to my room now."
……
Zhu Ziqing dragged her tired and slightly tipsy body back to her room.
As soon as I entered the room, the lingering smell of alcohol on my body went straight into my nostrils.
She frowned, thinking to herself, "The smell of alcohol on me is so strong, it's unpleasant. I need to find a way to get rid of it quickly."
She paced around the room for a moment, when suddenly a thought flashed through her mind: the pleasant hot spring pool in the backyard.
"By the way, let's go soak in the hot spring. The heat will not only relax my mind and body, but also get rid of the smell of alcohol on my body."
She slowly walked to the wardrobe, took out a loose and comfortable bathrobe, and picked up a towel.
Then, we walked through the quiet corridor and arrived at the backyard.
In the backyard, the hot spring pool, bathed in moonlight, shimmered with misty steam, resembling a fairyland.
Zhu Ziqing gently put down what she was holding, slowly took off her clothes, and immersed her body inch by inch into the hot spring pool.
The warm spring water instantly enveloped her, as if a pair of gentle hands were softly caressing her skin.
She couldn't help but sigh comfortably, close her eyes slightly, and fully enjoy this moment of peace and relaxation.
In the tranquil hot spring pool, Zhu Ziqing's thoughts ran wild like a runaway horse.
She slowly opened her eyes and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.
The moonlight shone on her face, but it couldn't penetrate the dark corner of her heart.
A look of pain gradually appeared in her eyes, and the floodgates of memory slowly opened.
The tragedy that occurred five years ago unfolded before her eyes like a tragic scroll.
At that time, her family cruelly abandoned her for some unspeakable reason.
She was left alone in this unfamiliar place.
This left her stranded in a foreign land, facing the hardships of life alone.
On this night of the full moon, I gaze at the bright moon that symbolizes reunion.
Her longing for her family surged like a tidal wave, and her eyes involuntarily reddened slightly.
She recalled the warm times she had spent with her family, and the laughter and joy seemed to still echo in her ears.
But now, she is all alone, wandering in this foreign land.
The loneliness and helplessness in her heart gnawed at her soul like a venomous snake.
"Why? Why are you doing this to me?" Zhu Ziqing cried out silently in her heart.
Tears welled up in her eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.
She tried to bury these painful memories deep in her heart.
But they tormented her like demons in the silent night, making it impossible for her to escape.
Perhaps it was because the alcohol had a strong aftereffect, or perhaps it was because the warmth of the hot spring was too comfortable.
As Zhu Ziqing soaked in the hot spring, she felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, as if a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on them.
Sleepiness washed over her in waves.
She tried hard to open her eyes, trying to stay awake.
But my body felt like all my strength had been drained away, and I couldn't control it at all.
Her consciousness began to blur, and the scene before her eyes gradually became distorted.
Her head swayed slightly, and her body began to lose its balance, slowly falling into the hot spring pool.
Water from the hot spring kept pouring into her mouth and nose, but she was completely unaware of it.
My whole being was like a drifting leaf, helplessly floating in the water.
At this moment, Tan Haoyu returned to his room after finishing his work, only to find that Zhu Ziqing was not in the room.
A sense of unease welled up in his heart, and he quickly took out his phone to call Yang Piaoliang.
"Assistant Yang, Zhu Ziqing isn't in her room. Do you know where she went?" Tan Haoyu's voice was tinged with anxiety.
"Mr. Tan, Miss Zhu might be soaking in the hot springs. I'll go check on her right away," Yang Piaoliang replied quickly.
Tan Haoyu hung up the phone and hurriedly headed towards the hot spring pool.
When he arrived, he saw that Zhu Ziqing had lost consciousness and was plunging her head into the hot spring pool.
Tan Haoyu's heart clenched, and he rushed forward, quickly pulling her out of the water.
