Yuan Shu thought of how she had embarrassed herself when she first came here, so she smiled and shook her head as she said, “You young people should go have fun. I’ll watch from below.”

Zhang Zhang was a little disappointed that she couldn’t dance with Yuan Shu. She pursed her lips and pulled Shi Lu to the front of the stage to dance.

More and more customers came into the Peak of the Sky, and the shop became even livelier. Soon, all the seats were filled, and the front of the stage was filled with people.

The young man who had seen Yuan Shu’s back just now was leaning against the railing on the second floor and looking down. He even asked the sidekick beside him, “Did the people sitting in the booth opposite the dance floor leave yet?”

After the sidekick stared for a while, he said, “I think they left. There’s only a woman sitting there now. It’s definitely not the three people from before.”

Only then did Tan Zhao heave a sigh of relief and walk towards his seat.

The lackey came over and asked, “Buddy, who’s that woman? You seem to be very afraid of her.”

Tan Zhao glared at his sidekick impatiently and smacked him on the head. “It’s none of your business. Why are you asking so many questions? Let me tell you, Wei Ci rarely comes to such places, so you have to help her block drinks today. If she gets drunk, I’ll settle the score with you! Also, remember to block Shi Bin when he comes later and tell him to stay away from Wei Ci. I can’t let him get close to Wei Ci in front of me.”

The sidekick covered his head aggrievedly and said, “I know, but haven’t you always been at odds with Shi Bin? Why are you guys on such good terms that you’re treating him to a drink now? Moreover, wouldn’t it be a hindrance to let Shi Bin come?”

Tan Zhao was also puzzled. He had been at odds with Shi Bin since he was young, and the things they liked were the same, so they competed every day, but when he no longer Shi Bin so often after graduation, he missed him. That was why he called him over for a drink.

However, for some reason, his brother had warned him sternly to stay away from the Shi family in the future.

He was getting more and more confused about Tan Jing’s thoughts. Previously, he asked him to get close to Shi Bin to gather information. Now, he asked him to stay away from Shi Bin, so what should he do to not anger his brother?!

Just as Tan Zhao was feeling puzzled, Wei Ci looked at him and greeted him. Tan Zhao immediately threw these thoughts to the back of his mind and ran over to sit beside Wei Ci to chat with her.

Wei Ci asked him, “Where did you go just now?”

Tan Chao replied guiltily, “Nowhere. I just saw an acquaintance, so I went over to take a look to confirm if it was her.”

Shi Bin was coming over soon. If Shi Bin’s sister-in-law found out that he was at the bar in the middle of the night, she might punish him.

Tan Zhao recalled the last time the two of them fought and got sent to the police station. At the police station, he was beaten up by Shi Bin’s sister-in-law and it was extremely painful.

Shi Bin wasn’torious for being unruly, but he was still tamed by Yuan Shu, so how could Tan Zhao not be afraid of her? He planned to stay as far as possible in the future. However, he didn’t expect Shi Bin’s sister-in-law, who was so stony-faced, to appear in a nightclub. One really couldn’t judge a book by its cover.

As for Wei Ci, she didn’t dare to leave her seat either because she was afraid that she would run into Yuan Shu.

Every day, Wei Ci pretended to be mature and aloof in the company. It was rare for her to come out at night to relax, so she felt awkward about bumping into Yuan Shu. Otherwise, she would have gone to the dance floor by now.

When Shi Bin saw Wei Ci, he froze for a moment before greeting her.

He asked, “Aren’t you busy with the company’s live broadcast today? Why are you free to come out and have fun?”

Wei Ci didn’t elaborate on what had happened and only said that she was done with work. Shi Bin didn’t ask further.

He felt that there was no common topic between him and Wei Ci. Apart from work, there wasn’thing to talk about, but he knew very little about work, so it was better to stay silent than to have an awkward chat.

Tan Zhao leaned over to Shi Bin’s ear and said mysteriously, “Buddy, 1 have a business deal to discuss with you now. Are you interested?”

When Shi Bin saw Tan Zhao’s mischievous smile, he felt that he was up to no good. It must be another lame business idea..
