When Zhao Dong arrived at Huihuang, it was already ten o'clock in the evening, and business was pretty good.
After getting off the car, he took out his mobile phone and looked at the three messages he sent to Sophie half an hour ago, but he has not yet responded to the three messages.
I guess I was busy socializing and didn't have time to look at my phone.
After hesitating for a moment, he still called the phone. After five or six rings, he was answered.
"Are you still socializing?"
A slightly satisfied man's voice came from the phone, "Mr. Zhao?"
Zhao Dong's head buzzed, and after hearing Xu Huayang's voice, his hand holding the phone tightened instantly.
Why is Sophie's phone number in his place?
At this moment, Zhao Dong thought of countless possibilities. The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it. The annoyance in his body was almost uncontrollable.
Fortunately, the call was picked up the next second, "It's me, please wait for me."
There was a lot of noise on the phone, it sounded like karaoke, both men and women were singing.
After a while, the phone finally became quieter, "What do you want from me?"
Zhao Dong was stunned for a moment. He really had nothing to do. The reason why he made this call was just to confirm when Sophie would come home.
But the episode that just happened left him at a loss as to what to say.
Sophie seemed to have read through Zhao Dong's thoughts and took the initiative to explain: "I went to the bathroom just now and left the phone on the table. Don't get me wrong."
"Um."
Sophie added, "Today's party is not only attended by me, but also by several colleagues from the public relations department."
Zhao Dong smiled bitterly, "That's not what I wanted to ask."
"Then what do you want to ask?"
"I'd say drink less."
"I'll try my best, but drinking is unavoidable on such occasions, but don't worry, someone will help me stop drinking."
While they were talking, someone shouted over there, "Mr. Su, hurry up, everyone is waiting for you!"
Sophie quickly said: "Okay, you called me over there. I can't excuse you. It might be a little late to go back today. You don't have to wait for me!"
While I was talking, there was a busy signal on the other end of the phone.
Zhao Dong hung up the phone slightly absent-mindedly. His relationship with Sophie had already turned a corner. He was even confident that after half a month of contact, Sophie would definitely slowly accept him.
As a result, at this critical moment, Xu Huayang unexpectedly emerged.
To say that he really doesn't care is to deceive himself completely. With Xu Huayang's excellence and the past love between the two, Zhao Dong feels on pins and needles every time he thinks about it.
However, Su's predicament made Sophie unable to refuse Xu Huayang's approach.
The more Zhao Dong thought about it, the more angry he became. If he had the ability, maybe he wouldn't give Xu Huayang a chance, right?
But he was just thinking about it. Although he didn't know much about the Su family's plight, he had heard Sophie mention it several times that at least several billions of funds would be needed to completely overcome this crisis.
Whether now or in the past, this amount of money was an astronomical figure that he could not even imagine.
What Zhao Dong is most worried about now is that once the Su family's situation worsens, will Sophie be able to survive alone in the face of Xu Huayang's financial support?
Moreover, his current interaction with Sophie was only for a few hours at home.
In addition, they are like people from two different worlds. They have no common language, no common hobbies, and they can't even talk about work together.
On the contrary, Xu Huayang could easily insert himself into Sophie's life. Facing such a powerful, potential, and threatening competitor, Zhao Dong felt unspeakably sour in his heart.
More importantly, even a few hours after get off work seemed to have been usurped by Xu Huayang!
While he was thinking sadly, someone came towards him.
