"After all, you just said it yourself… who knows how many people would laugh behind your back for doing this on behalf of a third-rate celebrity…"
He Jichen's brows raised slightly with harsh contempt as he said, "…Unfortunately, I've never experienced the taste of ridicule, but today, I just so happened to have the chance to give it out!"
After he said this, He Jichen didn't give Sun Zhounan any chance to react. He turned his head and looked over at Chen Bai as he raised his voice loudly: "Chen Bai, call security to escort Mr. Sun out!"
Quite a few people nearby heard what He Jichen said and turned their heads towards the scene, one after the other.
Sun Zhounan never imagined that He Jichen would ever invite him back to his hotel only to embarrass him even more. With his face flushed, he stared at He Jichen's changing expression for a moment and forced out the words, "He Jichen, don't test me!"
"Don't test me?!" It was like He Jichen heard something hilarious as his lips curved into a smirk. "If you didn't remind me, I would've forgotten I was even testing you. What can you do about it?!"
As he said this, He Jichen turned to look over at the two security guards Chen Bai called over and said, "Sorry, I used the wrong words. I didn't mean to say escort Mr. Sun out - please kick Mr. Sun out!"
As He Jichen was about to finish, he shot Chen Bai a look. Chen Bai understood what He Jichen meant. When He Jichen spoke his last word, he immediately waved the two security guards over to make their move.
When was Sun Zhounan ever this resistant? He struggled and fought to prevent the security guards from touching him, but how could he take on the strength of two people by himself? In the end, he was dragged out of the hall in embarrassment under everyone's gaze.
The atmosphere in the hall was chaotic after Sun Zhounan was dragged away screaming.
Everyone's attention lingered on He Jichen and Ji Yi; quite a few people got together and started to gossip about what just unfolded.
The sounds of everyone talking grew louder and louder. Overhearing some of their conversations, Ji Yi blinked gently, turned her head slightly and looked over at He Jichen.
He looked calm as though what just happened had nothing to do with him at all.
She was curious as to why He Jichen invited Sun Zhounan back, but she never imagined that the reason was for him to throw Sun Zhounan out again as everybody watched!
Although this matter was unpleasant, the first time he asked Chen Bai to see Sun Zhounan out discreetly, so he still left Sun Zhounan some face. He didn't destroy their relationship entirely, but now, considering what just happened... he and Sun Zhounan would probably never work together again...
It was just like Sun Zhounan said, women were women, business was business. How much business would someone give up over a woman?
He Jichen spoke up but didn't answer her inquisitive gaze as he asked, "Released all that pent-up anger?"
Ji Yi knew he was referring to inviting Sun Zhounan back and kicking him out. She gave an honest nod. With everything that just unfolded, it really did help relieve her anger.
A hint of satisfaction came over He Jichen's face. He then leaned back against the sofa with his eyes shut as though he was exhausted. He spoke with a clear voice, but all Ji Yi could hear was two words: "That's enough."
