Chapter 318: Dinner

Views:

Under the guidance of the staff, Li Wei walked into the elegantly decorated Yixin Pavilion.

As soon as Li Wei entered the door, he bowed to the people present and said, "I'm sorry, I'm late."

There were three men and one woman on the other side. The woman looked to be in her early twenties and was very beautiful. She was only wearing a long-sleeved knitted yellow skirt in such a cold weather, and a beige coat was draped over the back of the chair. She didn't even wear warm leggings on her legs, so she could really stand the cold.

The other three people all shook hands with Li Wei and greeted her. As expected, the beauty's hand was cold. She really only wanted to be graceful but not warm.

The bald man opposite praised Li Wei greatly: "I didn't expect that Anchor Li is even more beautiful than he looks on the screen, and his temperament is even more outstanding. I'm not afraid of everyone's jokes. I also graduated from the history department when I was in college, so I praised Anchor Li for the last issue. I am very satisfied with the program I hosted.”

Li Wei said modestly: "I feel ashamed to have met an expert. Please give me more advice in the future."

The bald man nodded with a smile and said: "Don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously. It's rare to see a host like Anchor Li who is both beautiful and intellectual." He glanced at Wu Ming before saying, "Where did Producer Wu get such an exquisite and rare person?" big baby?"

Hearing such a greasy uncle call him "baby", Li Wei couldn't help but feel that the hair on his hair stood on end, but when he went out to socialize, he couldn't directly show off his face to the other party, and he had to keep smiling, which was really tiring.

The group exchanged pleasantries and Li Wei also sat down. Wu Ming whispered in Li Wei's ear: "I've embarrassed you today. I'll give you a few extra days of annual leave later."

The smile on Li Wei's face was a little stiff. To a certain extent, she hated such social interactions, but some business matters could only be negotiated over a dinner table.

Li Wei turned his head and whispered: "Then we agreed, I won't drink tonight, and the supervisor stopped me."

"no problem."

The ordered dishes were served one after another, and Li Wei could only see the delicious food in front of him. The chefs in this hotel have first-class cooking skills, coupled with the elegant environment and relatively high privacy, this is why Joy Hotel has become a first choice place for business meetings.

Wu Ming helped her hold back the wine, so Li Wei could eat with confidence. When she took the chopsticks and lowered her head to eat the food in front of her, the fashionable girl sitting diagonally opposite her stared at Li Wei with a strange look. After taking a few bites, Li Wei realized that someone was looking at her. He raised his head and met the girl's eyes.

Li Wei smiled and introduced the dish in front of him: "The taste of this cold dish is refreshing, delicious and very delicious. Miss, would you like to try it too?"

The girl quickly waved her hands and said, "I don't have a good appetite and I don't dare to eat randomly."

Li Wei smiled knowingly, because she had seen a lot. There were many young and beautiful women in the industry who came out to socialize, but they were just showing off, occasionally drinking two glasses of wine, but barely eating anything. In order to stay in shape and resist the temptation of delicious food, Li Wei really admires them.

"I would like to offer a glass of wine to the young and beautiful female anchor." The bald man raised the glass in his hand.

Wu Ming quickly blocked Li Wei and said, "Our anchor Li doesn't know how to drink, so I'd better drink on her behalf."

The bald man said: "No, no, how can young people today do without drinking? Anchor Li refuses to drink this glass of wine because he refuses to give me the face of Mr. Zhu and looks down on Mr. Zhu."

Wu Ming said hurriedly: "Mr. Zhu, why bother this woman? I'll drink the wine for her." As he said that, he had already taken the glass and drank it down.

"No, no. The rules haven't come up. It's not impossible for Producer Wu to drink for Anchor Li. If Producer Wu wants a hero to save the beauty, I will grant it to you. However, it's not enough for Producer Wu to drink only one drink. He needs three drinks. "

Three cups? This was a 52-degree strong drink. Wu Ming was really afraid that his liver wouldn't be able to bear it, but he couldn't do it without making some sacrifices for his work. He glanced at Li Wei leisurely, who was eating the food slowly, thinking that no one else would do it for him. He should take responsibility for what he said when he praised Haikou. Isn't it just three glasses of wine? He is not empty. There was no pause for three glasses of wine, and soon the glass reached the bottom. Wu Ming was also a little confused. With such hard work, the contract could have been finalized.

Seeing the leader working hard, Li Wei couldn't bear it. What should he do if the other party made trouble again? There were no other male colleagues here to help share the burden today. She thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Mr. Zhu, this is not the way to drink wine. I once had a serious stomach problem and cannot drink alcohol. You can't embarrass our leaders like this. It's more important to talk about cooperation. Let's sign the contract first. Otherwise, our leaders will drink later. I’m afraid it’s hard to negotiate if you’re drunk.”

The bald man's smile looked a little vulgar: "It doesn't matter if your leader is drunk. Anchor Li is still there. I can negotiate this contract with Anchor Li."

"This..." Li Wei understood in her heart, and she said with a smile, "We as subordinates don't dare to break the rules casually, and a little girl who is incompetent doesn't dare to make decisions for the leader."

Mr. Zhu burst out laughing and said to the fashionable girl: "Secretary Cui, you have to learn the art of speaking from Anchor Li."

The atmosphere at the dinner table was quite harmonious.

Here Wu Ming sat upright and said, "Mr. Zhu, let's talk about business."

The bald man put forward his conditions and requirements, and the two parties had a heated discussion about advertising. Li Wei was just the host. She knew she had no place to interrupt. After sitting for a while, she excused herself and walked to the bathroom.

"What brand of lipstick does Anchor Li use? The color is quite nice."

When Li Weigang came out to touch up his lipstick in front of the bathroom mirror, Secretary Jin came over.

Li Wei said: "It's not a famous brand, this one is just over a hundred years old."

"Does a public figure like you also use ordinary goods? You are really frugal."

"Frugal? Isn't that the right thing to do? As long as it's easy to use, it doesn't matter if it's a brand-name luxury product." Li Wei is a pragmatist.

Secretary Cui also touched up her makeup in the mirror. When she finished cleaning up, she turned around and saw that Li Wei was no longer there.

Li Wei just walked out of the bathroom corridor when he saw another man coming. The man was also at their table, a person in charge of the advertising agency, but he never spoke much at the dinner table. After he saw Li Wei, he nodded with a smile and then stepped forward and said: "Anchor Li, can I take a step to speak?"

Li Wei followed the well-dressed man to another passage without knowing what was going on. Seeing that there was no one around him, the man took out a room card, mysteriously handed it into Li Wei's hand, and lowered his voice and said: "Li Anchor, our boss admires Anchor Li’s talent very much and plans to have a private chat with Anchor Li after the banquet, so we specially reserved a room to wait for Anchor Li to come. Don’t forget it.”

After a long meal, a man and a woman are alone in the same room. What is this
