The doorman froze.
"Please wait a mont." With that, he went to find the lobby manager.
The lobby manager, a tall and thin man, ca over upon hearing the news. When he saw Ji Wei, he stiffened for a second, then plastered on a smile and said, "What wind has blown Miss Ji to us today?"
"Is your Boss Zi here?" Ji Wei didn’t bother with formalities and cut straight to the point.
The lobby manager rubbed his hands together. "Well..."
Seeing the awkward look on his face, Ji Wei imdiately understood that Zii was indeed present.
"Take to her. Whatever it takes, just write down the number yourself." Ji Wei fished a check out of her handbag and handed it to the lobby manager.
The lobby manager stared at the check for several seconds before nodding repeatedly. "Miss Ji, please, please follow ."
The lobby manager, overwheld by the unexpected windfall, could barely keep his voice steady in his excitent.
Ji Wei curved her lips into a mocking smile.
Money truly makes the world go round. An eternal truth.
Zii’s office was at the end of the hallway. The lobby manager led her there and quietly withdrew.
Ji Wei took a deep breath, then knocked on the door.
"Co in." A woman’s soft and sultry voice floated out from inside.
Ji Wei pushed the door open and entered.
Zii was seated in a spacious swivel chair, a lady’s cigarette pinched between her fingertips. Upon seeing Ji Wei, she exhaled a wisp of pale smoke and stood up.
She was wearing a tight-fitting dress that accentuated her curves in an arresting way—her figure seductive, with an alluring sway and a tiny waist like a willow branch.
Zii truly was a stunner.
It was hard to imagine many n being able to resist the charm of a woman like this.
"It seems Boss Zi isn’t surprised to see ." Ji Wei looked at the woman walking steadily closer and calmly spoke.
Zii’s composed deanor had already tipped Ji Wei off.
Perhaps her earlier visit in the afternoon had already been reported to Zii by an informant?
Zii raised her languid, teasing gaze and sized Ji Wei up. Her bold red lips parted to say, "That’s right. I knew you’d co."
"That makes things easier. No need for to beat around the bush." Ji Wei comnted. "Boss Zi has plans to go to Japan as well, doesn’t she?"
Zii arched her brow slightly, neither confirming nor denying.
Ji Wei continued, "There seems to be quite a backstory between Boss Zi and Mr. Ye. Last ti on the cruise, when you ntioned soone owing you a favor, you were referring to Mr. Ye, weren’t you?"
"Gu Moqian told you that?" Zii abruptly fixed her gaze on her and asked.
Ji Wei shook her head. "No, I figured it out myself."
From the fragnt of conversation she overheard between Gu Moqian and Ye Cheng last ti, combined with Zii’s eyes on Ye Cheng during the cruise, it wasn’t hard to piece their relationship together.
"Miss Ji is quite clever. Spot on with your guess." Zii chuckled lightly. "But... Miss Ji, don’t you have any lingering traumas about this place? After all, you almost—"
At this point, Zii deliberately shot her a knowing glance.
Ji Wei smiled—a faint, distant smile tinged with coldness. "Of course I rember. But since I’ve co, I couldn’t possibly be afraid. I trust that after last ti, Boss Zi wouldn’t be foolish enough to try anything a second ti."
Ji Wei had seen through it all.
Last ti, Zii had secretly lent Zhu Jianian a helping hand, only to be severely punished by Gu Moqian—and almost lost the entire club in the fallout. She wouldn’t be foolish enough to repeat the sa mistake and provoke Gu Moqian by targeting the person he cared most about.
Especially with Ye Cheng’s reputation at stake.
"Did you know? Last ti, your man pointed a gun at here." Zii laughed seductively, radiating an air of enchantnt and mischief. "But, honestly, I admire n like Mr. Gu, willing to go to such extres for his woman. His temper is as unyielding as that other guy’s."
