The last trace of the evening sunlight was swallowed up by the darkness of night, the bustling city cloaked in the dreamy splendor of multicolored neon lights, beautiful yet empty.
Shang Li Tin stood by the window, his tall and lean silhouette appearing inexplicably lonely in the overly spacious office, under the bright light.
Gao Yang entered, seeing his silhouette, he quietly sighed in his heart. Shang Li Tin virtually owned a business empire, able to demand tantrums from both the wind and the rain, but ironically, he couldn't win a woman's heart.
"What is it?" Shang Li Tin turned around, his handsome face seemed clouded in gloom, as if he was looking up to the sky or down to the earth.
Startled, Gao Yang quickly snapped back to reality: "Mr. Shang, Miss Tan's medical report has arrived!"
"Speak!" Shang Li Tin's eyelids didn't even flicker, as if he had no interest in looking at those few pages of report paper.
Gao Yang opened the report, quickly skimmed over it, and reported, "Miss Tan is a virgin, she has not been tampered with in any way. The report reveals that her ovarian follicles are well developed, making her highly suitable for surrogacy."
A touch of hesitation quickly crossed Shang Li Tin's cold expression, disappearing into thin air in an instant. "Inform the surrogacy agency, we'll go with her."
"Yes!" Gao Yang let out a quiet sigh of relief. He had been nearly scouring all domestic surrogacy agencies for suitable surrogate women for the past half a year.
"Anything else?" Shang Li Tin frowned slightly when he saw that Gao Yang didn't leave.
"The old master's cousin's brother's own nephew has booked a table at the Jin Hua Hotel 808 tonight. You see..." While talking, Gao Yang carefully observed Shang Li Tin's expression.
"No!"
"But…"
Gao Yang wanted to say more, but as soon as he encountered Shang Li Tin's displeased eyes, he immediately held his tongue.
Half past two in the early morning.
Tan Yue hugged the toilet bowl, throwing up everything she had, after a bottle of spirits and ten beers. This was her ultimate limit. If she had known earlier that this 600 yuan would be so hard-earned, she would rather not make it at all. While throwing up, Tan Yue was filled with regret.
"Tan Yue! Tan Yue, come out quickly; the boss is here!"
Accompanied by Manager Liang's booming voice, he rushed into the women's restroom. Tan Yue wasn't surprised; this sort of thing was not the first time it had happened.
With her stomach churning uncomfortably, she waved at Manager Liang, "I really can't drink anymore!"
"Tan Yue, I'm paying you a high price; you can't mess this up for me at this crucial moment." Speaking, Manager Liang grabbed Tan Yue without another word and dragged her back to the private room.
At this moment, Mr. Shang was sitting at the head of the round table. If it weren't for the call from the old man, he would never come to this kind of place. Even if he did come, he remained aloof and cold, making the entire room feel as if it was covered in frost.
As soon as Manager Liang entered, he bowed and scraped obsequiously to Shang. He whispered a reminder in Tan Yue's ear: "Be smart, Tan Yue, and keep Mr. Shang good company!"
Mr. Shang?
Tan Yue burped heavily, struggling to look at the drinkers at the table, but everything was blurry. She was completely done; the alcohol was kicking in!
Even Manager Liang realized it, tightly gripping her arm and warning her, "Tan Yue, stay alert! I tell you, this contract is very important to me. If you mess things up, see how I'll deal with you!"
Already drunk, Tan Yue's mind was buzzing. With Manager Liang's constant nagging, her headache intensified. Irritated, she threw him off, causing the unprepared man to stagger, "Why are you babbling incessantly? Isn't this just a stupid cooperation? Isn't it enough if I help you secure it?"
Her voice was so loud that everyone looked toward her, including the man sitting at the head of the table. No one noticed that his deep eyes constricted intensely for a moment when he saw Tan Yue.
Shang was surprised to meet her here, and she appeared so drunk. Was this kind of woman qualified to be his surrogate?
Tan Yue walked toward the man sitting at the head of the table. She tried hard to walk in a straight line, but the path seemed crooked. She staggered at every third step till she reached him. She flung her hands onto the table, shook her head, strived to open her eyes wide, and pointed at a man who had drunk with her earlier, "Who the hell is the boss here? I'm nearly bleeding from my stomach from all the drinking, and you guys don't care at all. If you're not going to do anything, you should just get lost!"
With her outburst, everyone's faces twitched, and Manager Liang's face turned green with rage. He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Tan Yue!"
"Shut up!" Tan Yue jabbed a finger, “This is none of your business, scram!"
She was undoubtedly inebriated. Even Manager Liang noticed this fact, cautiously watching Shang Liting's expression with some regret for dragging Tan Yue back here.
"Are you going to do something about it?" Before Mr. Liang could figure out how to pull Tan Yue out again, she already asked Shang Liting.
He did not respond, as if he hadn't heard Tan Yue's words!
However, someone carefully reminded Tan Yue, "He is Mr. Shang, the real boss!"
Oh, so he is the real BOSS!
Great, with the boss here, things would be much easier. Tan Yue flashed a charming smile at Shang Liting. Before anyone could react, she had already plopped herself down onto his lap...
