When they saw this, the people at the table started to speak over each other, trying to prove their 'concern'.
"CEO Su, are you okay?"
"CEO Su, what's wrong?"
Cheng Qingchong, who sat beside Su Zhinian, pulled out a napkin and asked with sincere concern, "CEO Su, are you hurt?"
As she said so, she passed the napkin to Su Zhinian. Su Zhinian, though, continued to stare ahead, completely ignoring the chaos around him.
"His skin is red. Quickly get the waiter to bring some balm or ointment." CEO Zhang, who sat somewhat close to Su Zhinian, immediately turned to call the waiter.
Cheng Qingchong noticed that Su Zhinian had not reacted in any way, so she leaned in to whisper, "CEO Su?"
The smell of Cheng Qingchong's perfume caused Su Zhinian's brows to crease as he turned to Cheng Qingchong.
"CEO Su, is your wrist hurt?" Cheng Qingchong asked softly as she met his gaze and passed him the napkin that she had held in her palm for a long time already.
Su Zhinian was dazed before his pupils gradually fell on his wrist, and when he saw that red area on his skin, confusion flashed across his eyes.
When did this happen? Why didn't I feel anything?
The waiter came into the room with the ordered cold towel. He presented it to Su Zhinian with both hands, saying, "Sir."
Su Zhinian stared at his burned skin and did not respond like he was deep in thought.
Cheng Qingchong reached out to take the towel and placed it over Su Zhinian's wrist. "CEO Su, let the wound chill first."
Before the towel touched his skin, Su Zhinian moved his hand away and said lightly, "Not necessary."
He raised his head to look at the tableful of people. He pushed the chair behind him as he stood up and announced, "Consider this dinner my treat, enjoy the meal, I have to leave first because something came up."
What happened? What is behind this sudden change in CEO Su?
The people at the table looked at each other with confusion before calling out in unison.
"CEO Su."
"CEO Su."
As if knowing what she was going to say, Su Zhinian bent over to grab his phone on the table and ordered softly, "You stay behind to take care of the bill."
Before waiting for the response, he grabbed his coat hanging on the back of his chair and slipped out.
Su Zhinian ran into another person as he walked out the elevator. When the other person apologized to him, he still gave no response but continued to walk toward Beijing Hotel's entrance with a blank face.
Su Zhinian stood before Beijing Hotel's glittering revolving door for a moment before turning to the convenience store attached to the hotel to purchase a pack of cigarettes.
Leaning against the lamp post, Su Zhinian lit one of the cigarettes. This was the first cigarette he had ever smoked in his life, and it made him cough violently.
Eventually, the coughs got so severe that tears spilled out of his eyes.
