The bar is bustling with people and the music is noisy.

He Ming sat in the darkest corner of the bar, sipping the strong liquor in his glass. He didn't drink a lot today, but his mind remained clear and there was no drunkenness at all.

In fact, he comes here to drink almost every night.

But recently, he don't know what's wrong with alcohol. It doesn't even have the effect of numbing the nerves. No matter how much alcohol he drinks, whether he's drunk or spinning around, someone's face always pops out of his heart unexpectedly.

He has always had a decisive and never dragging his feet, but this time he tried everything he could to get that guy out of his mind. Unless busy to the point of darkness, just stop and take a break, and he will find himself missing Qi Han.

For example... like now.

He Ming rubbed his hair irritably, refusing to admit that he was thinking about Qi Han. He looked up and drank the remaining wine in his glass in one breath. Perhaps due to drinking too quickly, he quickly started coughing.

The bartender, who was already familiar with him, quickly walked over to show his concern and said, "Are you okay?"

He Ming waved his hand and said, "Give me another glass."

"You drank too much, haven't you been in a bad mood these days?"

He Ming remained silent, only furrowing his brow in displeasure.

The bartender had no choice but to pour him another glass of wine and say, "To be honest, if I didn't understand your personality, I really thought you were..."

"What is it?"

"... got dumped by someone."

He Ming was taken aback and immediately clenched the cup in his hand, staring coldly at the bartender.

His stern face was quite terrifying, but the other person was not afraid at all. He still smiled and joked, "It's really similar. Every night, he comes here to drown his sorrows with alcohol, and when someone comes up to chat him up, you just ignore him. In fact, there are several people tonight who really suit your taste."

"Don't mention that to me!"

When it comes to his preferences, He Ming gets annoyed. Qi Han just figured out his taste and deliberately approached him based on his weaknesses... tsk! Okay, why does he think of Qi Han again?

He Ming was very angry in his heart. Drinking alcohol was of no use anyway. After pouring the last glass of wine into his mouth, he got up to settle the bill and turned his head to walk towards the entrance of the bar.

He don't know if it was because he was a bit drunk or absent-minded. As he was about to walk to the door, he was hit hard by someone and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, someone helped him from the side and whispered in his ear, "I'm sorry, my girlfriend has a bit of a temper."

This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

He Ming looked up and saw that the woman who had just bumped into him looked like a woman. He casually asked, "Aren't you chasing after him?"

"Haha," the person next to him chuckled dryly and said, "Women, aren't they all like this? They argue incessantly when it starts, just go and soothe her tomorrow."

At this point, he suddenly stopped for a moment and said in surprise, "Hey? Manager He, it turns out it's you!"

He Ming was indeed drunk and his reaction was much slower than usual. He stared at the person next to him for a while before recognizing him and said, "Are you Director Lin from Jiayang?"

"I didn't expect to meet you here. It's such a coincidence. I've been thinking of inviting you out for a meal these past few days."

"You're too polite."

He Ming spoke politely, but the wine immediately woke up and his heart was in chaos.

The handsome man in front of me is named Lin Huan, who is a few years older than him and has strong work ability. He has a good reputation in the industry. The only downside is that he has a great appearance and naturally becomes promiscuous. Changing girlfriends is faster than changing fashion.

Of course, these gossip have nothing to do with him. The point is that this person happens to be Qi Han's immediate superior.

He Ming was extremely regretful for talking to him. He would rather fall to the ground than have any relationship with Qi Han. But now it's too late to escape. Lin Huan is known for his love of making friends, and immediately enthusiastically pulled him into the bar, saying, "Come on, let's have a drink together."

"No, today..."

"It's still quite early, wouldn't Manager He not give me this face?"

He Ming couldn't refuse his words.

Although their two companies are competitors, they are in the same mall, looking down but not looking up. They always need to establish a good relationship. He Ming is never careless in his work, so at this moment, he can only sit down with Lin Huan as a business entertainment.

After ordering wine, the two chatted aimlessly about many topics.

Lin Huan was originally a talkative person, and coupled with his constant admiration for He Ming, he chatted very enthusiastically.

He Ming, however, suffered greatly.

He appeared cold on the surface, occasionally responding with a few words, but in reality, he didn't listen to anything. All his strength was used to suppress his voice and prevent him from mentioning Qi Han's name.

He's not crazy, why does he want to know about Qi Han's recent situation?

Whether that guy has undergone plastic surgery again or has fallen in love with someone else, it has nothing to do with him!

He has already said that he will never see him again.

Absolutely, no!

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Lin Huan say intermittently, "With such a capable helper like you, your boss has saved a lot of trouble, right?"

Out of courtesy, He Ming could only respond with one sentence: "You flattered me."

"What I'm saying is all true. Although others say you're a workaholic and too unfriendly, I know you have real skills." Lin Huan took a big sip of wine and gradually became a bit drunk, sighing, "Alas, it's a pity that I don't have such good luck. It's not easy to cultivate someone under my hands. I was just thinking about reusing him, but he token leave without delay."

He Ming's heart tightened and he couldn't help but ask, "Who?"

"Just Xiao Qi, you should also know him, right?"

Upon hearing this, He Ming could no longer control himself and recited the name that swirled in his heart: "Has Qi Han resigned?"

"Besides, he left this city half a month ago." Lin Huan sighed a few more times, obviously still feeling regretful. "Xiao Qi is a rare talent who is both intelligent and eager to learn. He is just too narrow-minded. According to his performance, he could have been promoted two years earlier, but his superiors wanted to transfer him to a branch in another city, but he refused to go. He only said that the person he likes is here and he will never leave."

He Ming's heart, which had just been lifted up, slowly sank and he asked, "So why is he leaving now?"

"Who knows? Either the other person has already married, or he has given up his own thoughts."
