C6 Let Go of That Girl

Yang Yi was not only her college classmate but also her roommate and best friend. As their senior year internships approached, she found herself rejected by every company due to her poor grades.

Ultimately, it was Yang Yi who came to her rescue, securing her a position at Yangquan Wine Cellar.

Her performance at work was mediocre, but as Yang Yi's assistant, she was promoted to vice manager when Yang Yi ascended to the role of manager.

"Best friends truly are a peculiar species," Yang Yi mused, lifting the teacup from the table. "Young Master Jia, I'll drink this tea in place of wine as a toast to you."

With that, she downed the tea in one swift motion.

Jia Zihao's brow furrowed, and Liu Hao approached Yang Yi, chastising her lack of manners. How could she offer tea to Young Master Jia while drinking it herself?

"Get out of here. My woman doesn't need your pointless commentary!" Jia Zihao snapped, sending Liu Hao tumbling to the floor with a swift kick. He then turned to Yang Yi with a smirk, "You see, I've already drugged everything here. It makes no difference what you drink."

With a fierce motion, Jia Zihao smashed his wine glass onto the floor, then casually sat back, legs crossed, waiting for the drug to take effect.

The deceit of villains is ever so unpredictable!

In a state of alarm, Yang Yi attempted to stand and flee, but her legs gave out, leaving her slumped in her chair.

"Help me, help me!" she cried, turning to Liu Hao and her best friend for aid. But they remained cold and detached, heads bowed, their gazes fixed on the polished floor that reflected Yang Yi's desperate struggle.

A sense of isolation and despair overwhelmed Yang Yi, tears streaming down her face, yet her plight moved none of those present.

"Young Master Jia, what about our wine cellar's financing deal?" Liu Hao, seizing the moment before the deal was sealed, approached Jia Zihao with a sycophantic smile, seemingly forgetting the recent kick.

"Manager Yang is so dedicated. If I don't invest now, I, Jia Zihao, would lack generosity. Director Luo, go ahead and finalize the contract with him!"

"Yes, Chairman!" Luo Xinghong promptly escorted Liu Hao to the nearby viewing platform, with the remaining three directors trailing behind.

"Young Master Jia, what about me?" she asked, twirling her waist with a world-weary air, "I went to great lengths to persuade Boss Liu to choose Yang Yi as the meeting participant!"

"You've done me a service, so naturally, I won't shortchange you. Here's 100,000 just for you."

Jia Zihao yanked open her collar and slipped a bank card into her white shirt.

"The PIN is the integer part of your measurements—make sure you get it right!" Jia Zihao said, peering down her collar with a smirk.

"Stop it, Liu Hao will be back any minute!"

"What's there to fear? If he comes back, he can witness that it was you, Manager Yang, who seduced me, saving me from accusations of bullying."

Jia Zihao returned to Yang Yi's side, taking pleasure in the sight of his handiwork.

Yang Yi's cheeks were flushed, her eyes glazed, and her chest heaved with distress. She was completely disoriented.

"Yang Yi, tonight I'll show the world that there's nothing Jia Zihao can't have."

Jia Zihao chuckled obscenely, delighting in Yang Yi's discomfort.

Just then, a "ding dong" echoed as an elevator halted at the entrance of the Feng Yue Restaurant.

The doors slid open, and Ye Yu emerged, standing at the banquet hall entrance with an authoritative air. He raised his arm and pointed at Jia Zihao:

"Release her, now!"
