Dinner was ready. Su Zelin had invited a professional chef to his home tonight. The chef was tactful enough not to stay. He cooked a table full of dishes, took a big red envelope and left.
Su Zelin opened two bottles of Moutai. It was a festive occasion for the new home, so drinking a little wine was inevitable.
Except for Yan Qiuwen who drank beverages, everyone else poured themselves out. The female military advisor's alcohol tolerance was too low. She could get drunk after just a few beers. Her image was ruined and she kissed herself randomly. She couldn't be allowed to drink white wine.
Even Lu Haoran and Xiao Yanzi poured themselves a glass, it was a rare moment of happiness.
An honest man could not drink much when he was in school, but his alcohol tolerance gradually improved as he entered society. After all, drinking culture is indispensable in state-owned enterprises. When having dinner together with leaders and colleagues, he has to drink occasionally.
In his previous life, whenever the gangster was in a bad mood, he would always call out his good friends. At that time, Lu Haoran's alcohol tolerance was already quite good, but this time it was just average.
"I'm glad that everyone can come to my house tonight and bring me some popularity. We are all best friends, so I won't say any more polite words. I also wish everyone good luck in their careers!"
Su Zelin raised his glass first, and the others naturally responded loudly.
They ate and chatted, and after three rounds of drinks, Master Zhang's face was already flushed, and he didn't know if it was because his forehead was a little hot, but he began to toast Su Zelin and Qin Shiqing frequently.
After drinking several cups of white wine, Qin Shiqing couldn't bear it anymore.
Although her alcohol tolerance is not as high as Yan Qiuwen's, she is still quite weak. Normally, she only drinks a few glasses of beer at most. This time, her head was already dizzy.
"Over the years, thanks to President Su's care, I, Zhang Yuanhang, have made some progress. This glass is for you and sister-in-law!"
When Zhang Yuanhang raised his glass again, everyone else couldn't help but frown, wondering how could this guy be so ignorant.
Toasting once or twice shows respect. It is very impolite to toast continuously, not to mention involving other people's female companions.
But in this kind of occasion, which is also a festive day, it is not appropriate to complain at the dinner table.
In addition to Yan Qiuwen, Lao Ma also noticed something.
He knew very well the relationship between Su Zelin and Zhang Yuanhang. The latter regarded himself as a younger brother and was willing to be a flatterer.
Even if Zhang Yuanhang was very brave, he would not dare to be so presumptuous in front of his backer.
Moreover, Master Zhang is not a person who has a bad alcohol tolerance. If he was really used to getting drunk, he would not have been able to hook up with Su Zelin, and Su Zelin would not have invited him over tonight.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. Zhang Yuanhang must have a purpose for doing this.
And Su Zelin didn't say anything to stop it.
So Lao Ma just watched coldly to see what was going on.
"I'm sorry, Boss Zhang, I can't drink much, I'm afraid I can't serve you this glass."
Qin Shiqing could only smile bitterly.
The alcohol from those few glasses of liquor had taken effect, and her stomach was churning. If she drank another glass, she would probably have to run to the bathroom to vomit.
"Hey, sister-in-law, you are too modest. Mr. Su is a dragon among men. I think the woman he likes must be a heroine. What's a few glasses of wine?"
Although Zhang Yuanhang was praising Qin Shiqing, his tone did not show any intention of giving her any way out and he wanted her to drink the cup no matter what.
At this time, Ding Lina on the side suddenly spoke up and said with a smile: "Shi Qing doesn't like the drink. Since Boss Zhang is so interested, how about I drink a few glasses with you?"
"Boss Ding, you can drink for others, but you should know the rules of this wine table, right?"
Zhang Yuanhang looked a little unhappy because his toast was interrupted.
Without saying a word, Ding Lina poured two glasses of Moutai and drank them all in one gulp.
The rule of drinking with someone is to drink double, so of course she understood that.
Before Zhang Yuanhang spoke again, Nanazi rushed to say, "I'm glad to meet Boss Zhang today. Let's have a few drinks, but it's boring to drink like this. How about we try another way?"
After saying that, she took two bowls and filled them up.
"Boss Zhang, please!"
Nanazi picked up one of the bowls first, toasted to Zhang Yuanhang, and then drank it all in one breath.
She remained calm and composed, which stunned people who didn't know her.
Oh shit, what’s going on
Mr. Ding is too generous and his alcohol tolerance is terrifying.
Zhang Yuanhang's eyes also widened.
Oh my god, I met the female war god!
"Boss Zhang, it's your turn now!"
Little Swallow was fanning the flames.
This guy named Zhang was so rude. Her best friend was forced to drink so many glasses of wine, but she still refused to give in, which made her angry.
Zhang Yuanhang could only bite the bullet, pick up the white wine and drink it down in gulps.
However, he was not as generous as Nanako. He drank it in several gulps before he could finish it. His stomach felt like it was on fire.
However, Nanako had no intention of letting him go.
"Boss Zhang has a good alcohol tolerance. Drinking like this is enough to make you strong. Let's have more!"
While speaking, he filled his and Zhang Yuanhang's bowls again, then raised them and drank them all in one gulp.
Everyone was frightened, Zhang Yuanhang's hands and feet were trembling, and his eyes drifted towards Su Zelin.
Mr. Su, is this what you mean by a “slightly” better alcohol tolerance
You are fooling honest people!
The black-faced task that Su Zelin gave him was to keep toasting himself and Qin Shiqing tonight. The gangster also guessed that Nanazi would come out to help with the drinking.
He knew Ding Lina too well.
Nanazi has a habit at the drinking table. If she meets someone who has a bad drinking habit and likes to get girls drunk, she will always teach him a lesson.
In this way, Qin Shiqing owed her a favor and would naturally have a good impression of her.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Zhang Yuanhang made a bitter face, picked up the bowl and took a sip, only to find that even the best wine was extremely spicy at this moment. Seeing Nanazi pouring wine into his bowl again, he suddenly had an idea and pretended to be dead. He took two sips, put down the bowl, and fell on the dining table with a bang.
"Boss Zhang?"
Nanazi called him twice, but Zhang Yuanhang pretended not to hear.
A look of contempt flashed across Ding Lina's face.
That’s it
He even dared to drink and cause trouble.
Don't you even look at your own weight
Now that Master Zhang has fallen, tonight’s bridal dinner is almost over, and it’s getting late anyway.
Su Zelin called his younger brother and asked him to come and "carry it away".
In fact, he knew that Zhang Yuanhang was not unconscious at this moment, and was most likely just pretending to be dead so that he could save face.
"Boss Ding, thank you for what I said just now. Are you okay?"
Before Nanazi said goodbye, Qin Shiqing found her.
Tonight, in order to help me out of the predicament, I stood up and taught him a lesson. I even drank two large bowls of wine. Out of gratitude, I have to show some concern for him.
"It's okay, it's just a small matter, just call me Nanako, I'm the classmate of the class monitor, and I'm not comfortable with Mr. Ding or anything like that."
Ding Lina laughed.
"If it's inconvenient to go home, why don't you stay here tonight? We have a lot of guest rooms here."
Qin Shiqing was a little worried. After all, Nanazi had no companions and was alone. She had drunk so much alcohol. It would be troublesome if something happened on the way home.
"No, no, I can just take a taxi."
Nanako declined.
Qin Shiqing hesitated and said, "Zelin, you should send Nanazi off. She is a girl and she drank so much. I am worried about her."
Su Zelin can't drive either, but it would be safer to take a taxi to accompany Ding Lina.
After some refusals, he couldn't resist Qin Shiqing's kindness and finally left with the gangster.
Hunzi was very satisfied with the show he led tonight.
It's a good start that Nanazi and Qin Shiqing have established a relationship.
…
In a blink of an eye, it is New Year's Eve and 2006 is about to arrive.
Shenghai, Lujiazui CBD, a foreign company in a beautiful country.
Luo Xi walked into the office of his foreign boss and put a letter on the table: "Peter, I'm sorry to tell you something, I want to resign!"
"Resign?"
The foreign boss was a little surprised: "Why? Is it that the treatment of our Feili Group is not good enough? I can guarantee that for the same position, it will be difficult for you to find a company in Shenghai that pays higher than our company!"
Although Luo Xi had only been in the company for less than two years, he was a good talent with outstanding abilities, and he originally wanted to cultivate him well.
"Luo, what are you dissatisfied with me for? If I have done anything wrong to you, I can apologize."
Luo Xi waved his hand quickly and said, "No, Peter, don't get me wrong. I am very satisfied with the treatment I receive from the company and I have no complaints about you. You are a good boss."
"In that case, why do you insist on resigning?"
The foreign boss was very puzzled.
"Because I plan to start my own business. To be honest, I had this plan before I graduated from college. I came to the Philly Group just to learn, or to learn from others. I think I have learned a lot, and youth waits for no one. I hope to make my own way while I am still young, so it's time to leave!"
Since he was going to resign, Luo Xi simply confessed to Pete.
"That's right, but have you thought it through? Starting a business is not an easy thing. Many people succeed, but many people fail. It's a gamble. In addition to strength, there is also a component of luck."
Although he knew Luo Xi's purpose, Pete still tried his best to keep her.
"Peter, I know, but I have thought it through. There is a saying in Xia country that those who are afraid of failure will never succeed. I am not afraid of failure, because failure is the mother of success!"
Luo Xi spoke in a firm tone.
She decided to start her own business early in this life, in fact, she was inspired by Su Zelin and her good sister Ding Lina.
Su Zelin was fine, after all, the class beauty thought that this guy was a monster, too smart, and much more capable than herself.
However, poor students like Nanazi started their own companies and became female bosses after graduation, and they were very successful. Luo Xi felt that she would never be inferior to Nanazi.
Of course, the prerequisite is that Su Zelin can also help.
The squad leader has agreed to me. With a powerful person like him supporting me from behind, what do I have to be afraid of
"Well, since you've made up your mind to go, I can only wish you good luck."
Pete said with some regret.
"Thanks, Pete."
Luo Xi nodded slightly at him.
When I first joined the company, this foreign boss harassed me, but it was only in a gentlemanly way, such as asking me out to dinner and nightclubs. However, he never said anything frivolous or made any physical advances. After learning that I had a "boyfriend", he gave up and never made things difficult for me. Instead, he was always very caring.
Thinking of the fact that I had deceived her, I felt a little uneasy.
After hesitating for a moment, she added, "Peter, before I leave, I have to say sorry to you."
Peter was surprised and asked, "Why do you want to say sorry to me? It is normal for employees to leave any company."
"I'm not talking about this, but I lied to you before. Actually... the boy you met in the bar that night was not my boyfriend."
Luo Xi gritted his teeth and told the truth.
Although Pitt might be angry about this and even scold herself, she had to be honest.
But surprisingly, Peter was not angry at all. Instead, he laughed out loud: "Well, I knew this a long time ago!"
"You know? When?"
Luo Xi looked stunned.
"That night, Luo, didn't I tell you at the time that there was no intimacy between you and him? Your physical contact was also very stiff, not natural at all, and your acting was really lame!"
The foreign boss shrugged, his wise eyes seemed to have seen through everything.
"Of course we are not strangers, but we look more like close friends, so I guess that man was just someone you called to help you reject my order."
At the nightclub, the foreign boss did raise questions.
At that time, Luo Xi thought quickly and kissed the gangster, and then Pete believed it.
Seeing her confusion, the foreign boss explained: "Luo, do you think that kiss made me believe you? No, you are wrong, I didn't believe you, but I gave up because of it!"
At this point, Pete sighed: "Because I can see that although you are pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend, you really like him. After all, you are not a girl from our beautiful country, and your mind is not open. If you don't like a boy, you will never kiss him!"
Luo Xi couldn't help but be stunned.
Do I like the monitor? Not just admire him
"I have to admit that the boy is outstanding. Even by our European and American aesthetic standards, he is very handsome and young and promising. However, Luo, I have to give you a piece of advice. Boys like him are usually surrounded by many beautiful girls, like me."
At this point, Pete puffed out his chest proudly.
In fact, to some extent, he is also a scumbag and has many women.
The idea of worshipping foreign things has always existed in China, and it is particularly serious at this time.
These tall, handsome foreigners who earn high salaries in foreign companies are quite popular in China.
Luo Xi: “…”
Okay, this guy is pretty narcissistic.
This aspect seems a bit like someone else.
"Okay, Pete, thanks for your advice, but he and I are just good friends and I won't cross the line."
Luo Xi nodded slightly: "Then, goodbye!"
"Goodbye, Luo!"
…
Lin'an, New Century Center.
Su Zelin sat in front of the coffee table drinking Kung Fu tea.
After moving to the new headquarters, his office was upgraded to be newer and more spacious.
The basic layout has not changed, with a desk and an office sofa, but the coffee table has been replaced with sandalwood, making it look more classy.
At this moment, the cell phone suddenly rang, and the gangster looked at the caller ID.
A capable assistant.
This was the note Su Zelin made to Luo Xi during college. Although the class beauty was no longer his deputy after graduation, he still kept the habit of making notes.
Su Zelin picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.
"Hey, squad leader? I'm resigning today and I'm going to start my own business!"
Luo Xi speaks in a fast voice, and there is a sense of urgency in her voice. Listening to her, one feels that this girl must be a very courageous person.
"You really resigned."
Although the class beauty had told him before that she would resign this year, the scoundrel was still slightly moved when he heard the news.
"Boss, didn't I tell you this a long time ago? I'm not kidding. I'm out of work now, so I'm going to burn my boats and try to get a job. Boss, you have to keep your promise and protect me!"
The class beauty's tone was a bit coquettish, and she knew that Su Zelin would fall for it.
"Okay, okay, a man's word is as good as his bond. How much do you want me to invest?"
The gangsters are also very straightforward.
"Money alone is not enough, I also want your people!"
Luo Xi's words were shocking.
"Han, it's OK to ask for money, but it's a bit difficult to ask for people."
Su Zelin thought to herself, could it be that Ah Xi has also taken a fancy to me, and is planning to continue to be good sisters sleeping in the same quilt with Nanazi
"I mean, you have to participate in my company, you can't just pay money!"
The class beauty corrected the grammatical error.
"I don't have so much energy. I'm already too busy!"
The gangster frowned.
"I don't care. After all, you are also a shareholder. I don't need you to come to the company often, but you can always come up with ideas when you encounter problems and show up occasionally. At most, I will do the small things and you can do the big things!"
Ah Xi risked her life. She didn't want to be inferior to anyone.
However, if that person is the squad leader, it is not impossible to be under him.
"this… "
Hunzi was in a bit of a dilemma, as he didn't want to get too involved in the class beauty's company.
"Boss, I have no qualifications and no prestige. Even if I set up a company, it would be difficult to recruit good employees without a powerful person to control it. Even if I recruit good employees, they will jump ship. But it's different when they know that you are a shareholder of the company. After all, you are the genius operations director of the famous national chain enterprise New Century Digital. Everyone will think that the company you invest in must have a future."
Luo Xi flattered Su Zelin obsequiously.
"Okay, let's make it clear first. I only show up occasionally when I'm free. It may not happen many times throughout the year. Don't count on me too much for the management of the company!"
Su Zelin was finally convinced.
There was no way around it. He was particularly fond of this young assistant back then. He even wrote down everything he had learned throughout his life and taught him everything he knew. This was considered a high hope for him.
"Thank you, Boss. It's settled then!"
The class beauty was overjoyed.
After chatting for a while, I hung up the phone.
Luo Xi smiled proudly.
With the boss's help, I also want to become a strong woman like Nanako!
