After parting with Sophie, the news of Li Jing returning to Hai City spread quickly through the circles like spring vine.
In the following days, Chen Wenwu and Liu Dazhi took turns hosting receptions, and Elder Shi also specially arranged a family banquet.
Amidst the clinking of glasses, one shot of baijiu after another, the intensive socializing left Li Jing more exhausted than his half-month-long trip.
Fortunately, his years of fitness sustained him through the onslaught, otherwise in the past, he might have already been burnt out by the fiery liquor.
To avoid trouble, he politely declined Chen Wenwu's arrangement for a driver and accommodation, booked the top suite at the most luxurious five-star hotel in Hai City, and rented a gleaming black Mercedes for transportation.
After finally getting a leisurely day, Li Jing had barely stretched his limbs on the leather sofa in the suite when his phone buzzed on the marble coffee table.
