Although Chu Yi had anticipated that she would have to come and block drinks today, she was not expecting that CEO Zhang would stare at her immediately upon arrival and not let her go.

However, upon noticing that everyone was looking at her, Chu Yi stood up gracefully and said, “I would like to propose a toast to CEO Zhang. I hope that the Zhang Corporation and Song Corporation can cooperate closely in the future.”

After finishing her speech, Chu Yi promptly downed the entire glass of wine. The people around her applauded and cheered, except for Song Ting who frowned.

“I have to say, CEO Song, your secretary is quite impressive. Just one glass of wine and she has secured a partnership for you. This little girl is quite cunning. For such a significant collaboration, you should have more than just one glass of wine,” CEO Zhang said as he refilled Chu Yi’s glass.

Song Ting took Chu Yi’s glass and said, “My secretary is inexperienced. I will drink this glass for her.” He clinked his glass with CEO Zhang and downed it in one gulp.

Seeing this, CEO Zhang also drank his wine.

Naturally, the others could see what CEO Zhang was thinking about Chu Yi. They took turns to persuade him to drink more.

Chu Yi did not want to offend these people, so she also helped Song Ting drink a lot of wine. However, she finally could not bear it and went to the bathroom.

After a few rounds of vomiting, Chu Yi finally felt better.

However, she couldn’t help but feel disgusted when she thought of the behavior of the people at the table. But, remembering her responsibility, she took a deep breath and washed her face, and touched up her makeup.

However, before she could leave the bathroom, she was stopped by CEO Zhang.

CEO Zhang was a little drunk. He accidentally grabbed Chu Yi’s shoulder and pulled her into his arms.

“Hey, Chu Yi, I thought you had left. Why did you drink too much?” As he spoke, CEO Zhang’s hand slid down and touched Chu Yi’s butt.

Chu Yi reflexively stepped on his foot and escaped from the bathroom.

At the door, she saw Song Ting and another CEO walking over.

The moment Chu Yi saw Song Ting, her face turned pale.

Chu Yi thought, “Oh no, I was too impulsive just now. I stepped on Song Corporation’s most important partner. Wang Lin had repeatedly warned her not to offend this person, but she could not help it.”

Song Ting also noticed Chu Yi’s flustered face. Just then, CEO Zhang stumbled out of the bathroom.

“You little girl, you want to do it the hard way.” CEO Zhang, who failed to take advantage of Chu Yi, walked over and tried to slap her.

However, Song Ting caught his hand in mid-air. The people around them saw that the situation was not good and that many were watching, so they quickly came over to stop the fight.

“CEO Zhang, the little girl is not sensible. Why do you have to lower yourself to her level? Let her accompany you later as a way of making amends.” The person spoke with a smile wretchedly and kept sizing Chu Yi up.

Chu Yi felt frightened and instinctively hid behind Song Ting. It was as if she had been transported back to that day when she was looked at with the same eyes by those people.

“Hehe, I’m not a stingy person. She’s just a little girl.” CEO Zhang turned to Song Ting drunkenly. “CEO Song, let her accompany me tonight. As long as I have fun, you can ask for whatever cooperation you want!”

Hearing their conversation, Chu Yi began to feel hopeless.

How could Song Ting give up on the collaboration with Zhang Corporation for her?

Chu Yi held back her tears and could only grab Song Ting’s clothes tightly.

“CEO Zhang, she is my person,” Song Ting calmly stated.

“I knew it. Why did you suddenly change your secretary?” CEO Zhang suddenly understood, and then he laughed again. “It’s okay. When you’re tired of playing with her, she will be mine. After all, she’s just a plaything. CEO Song’s person, CEO Song first, no problem!”

The words “tired of playing” and “plaything” made Chu Yi became furious.

Why was everyone treating her this way? Was it just because she was a little prettier and had a better figure? Why were people targeting her like this? Can’t beautiful women work and live well?

Before anyone else could say anything, Chu Yi stood up.

“Are women just playthings and bargaining chips in CEO Zhang’s eyes? Are your mother, daughters, and sisters also object to being toyed with? CEO Zhang was a man, who took pleasure in bullying women. How heroic. I can’t help but applaud you.”

Chu Yi had already considered the worst-case scenario. At worst, she would be fired. But this time, she had to speak up for herself.

She stood up straight and looked directly at CEO Zhang and the others, faintly revealing a kind of power.

Song Ting looked at her back and took a step forward. “You’re right. Every employee at Song Corporation deserves respect. However, the Song Corporation did not lack a partner.”
