As the saying goes, the first bird is shot, and I naturally have this saying. There must be important reasons behind it. Everyone was puzzled, but for a while no one took the initiative to talk to me. Even Cheng Qing, who had been trying to please me all night, didn't dare to speak rashly.
I still kept a faint smile on my face and glanced at the people around the round table. I saw everyone was silent. I said aloud: "Aren't you curious why I said that?"
Everyone had different expressions, some smiled reluctantly, and some simply looked away and didn't look at me.
Perhaps Cheng Qing was eager to win over me. I'm afraid that I won't be able to get off stage if I talk to myself. So he took the initiative and said with a smile: "Why did Miss Liang say this? Is there some misunderstanding?"
I tilted my head and looked sideways at Cheng Qing, who was sitting on the left. I said with a half-smile: "Since Mr. Cheng asked, I will tell you directly. If it is a misunderstanding, it would be best. If not..."
I deliberately slowed down my speech. When everyone looked at me meaningfully. I said slowly and calmly: "I really have to seek justice for Jing Yan. What bothers me the most is bullying the young by bullying the young, relying on the old and betraying the old, especially those so-called unspoken rules in the workplace."
I trailed off. From the corner of his eye, he saw everyone's eyes changing. Especially Cheng Qing next to me. The smile on his face seemed to be cast in a plaster, stiff and awkward.
The corners of my lips curved up even more, and I looked at him and said, "Mr. Cheng, from the first time he met me, he said that you take good care of Jing Yan. There are no outsiders here today, so I will take the liberty to ask, Mr. Cheng What kind of care is the care mentioned in the mouth? "
At this point, everyone finally understood that I came here today only for those who are not good and kind. Talking about drinking and making friends is all nonsense. I came to seek justice for Li Jingyan.
Cheng Qing subconsciously glanced at Li Jingyan behind me, thinking it was Li Jingyan who said something to me. After his brief expression of embarrassment, he immediately smiled and said: "Miss Liang, there must be some misunderstanding here. ”
After saying that, he looked at the wine array in the middle of the round table and said loudly: "We set up this wine array just for fun. How can we really let Jing Yan finish the drink alone? This is just a little joke between different colleagues. Well, why does Jingyan still take it seriously?"
Cheng Qing looked past me at Li Jingyan. After all, Li Jingyan was not as embarrassed as me. He tried his best to pull the corners of his lips, and then said: "I didn't take it seriously."
Cheng Qing breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to me: "Ms. Liang, you are not in Fangda, so you may not know the rules of our company. When a new person is hired in the company, colleagues in the department have to invite guests to dinner and have fun. Maybe we don't Keep a good balance. As you said, Jing Yan just came back from abroad and his drinking capacity is not good. This is our negligence. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."
I smiled lightly and said, "Since it is a rule, it cannot be broken."
Cheng Qing didn't know what I meant, so he couldn't interrupt rashly. Until I stood up, stretched out my hand to pick up a glass of white wine from the wine array in the middle of the table, and turned to Cheng Qing and said: "Mr. Cheng, I can see that you are also an able person among your colleagues, so I will toast you with this glass of wine." It’s a tribute to everyone.”
Cheng Qing stood up immediately, a little scared and a little flattered. He also took a glass of white wine the same size as mine and saluted me: "You're welcome, Miss Liang."
I didn't say anything, just did it first as a sign of respect. When Cheng Qing saw this, he had no choice but to follow me and do it.
I immediately reached for the second glass, and then said to Cheng Qing: "The rules in our family are that the minimum toast is five glasses, otherwise it is not considered respectful."
After saying that, without waiting for Cheng Qing's reply, I did it again.
Cheng Qing was rushing to sell the food, and he didn't dare to refute my reputation, so he had to drink one cup after another with me.
When I drank the third cup and was about to get the fourth cup, Li Jingyan on my right stood up. He gently pulled my arm and looked at me with worry in his eyes.
I smiled and said simply and generously: "Jing Yan, who is related to whom between us? You can't drink. I will settle the drinking battle for you today."
After saying that, I turned to face Cheng Qing, smiled, and then left.
I drank four glasses or two of white wine in a row. Cheng Qing, like me, had the courage to drink and his face and neck quickly turned red. He must be the one who suffered from drinking.
After drinking five glasses of wine, I also had a slight buzzing in my ears and was a little confused. But thinking that tonight's battle will affect whether Li Jingyan can enter the Luo family, I fought hard.
After Cheng Qing put down his glass, he was afraid that I would find an excuse to drink again, so he hurriedly said: "Miss Liang has a good drinker, I'm willing to give in."
I smiled and said, "Really? Didn't Mr. Cheng say before that the wine array was prepared for everyone? This amount of wine is really not enough."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Cheng Qing to respond, I continued: "Jing Yanke told me that if you can break up this drinking battle, you will have a formal relationship as colleagues. According to this, if you don't drink all the wine today, Jing Yan will Doesn’t Yan count as one of your Fangda people?”
Cheng Qing didn't know whether he was dizzy by my words or was a little confused because of the drunkenness. He looked straight at me. After holding on for a few seconds, he said with an apologetic smile: "Miss Liang misunderstood. is not what it means."
"what does that mean?"
"We just want to express our welcome to Jing Yan. As you know, we northerners are enthusiastic..."
I said: "Night City is considered the north, so what is Winter City? Our family does not welcome newcomers in this way."
Having said that, I glanced at everyone present. Although my face was smiling, my eyes were full of displeasure and even slight anger.
My voice was neither fast nor slow: "Since we are talking about enthusiasm, there is no such thing as shaving one's head and picking one's head. Everyone, please get moving. Don't just watch me drinking with Mr. Cheng. Let's make friends together."
After I finished speaking, I took the initiative to reach out and take out a glass of wine from the wine array. When everyone saw this, they looked at each other in confusion at first, and then someone followed to get the wine, and everyone slowly got up and got a glass of wine.
I said, "Come, let me toast everyone on behalf of Jing Yan."
I drink, and they have no reason not to drink.
There were dozens of glasses of wine in the wine queue. There were more than 20 people at our table, and after three rounds of drinking, there was very little left. It is white wine, red wine and beer. It is easy to get drunk after adulteration.
I suppressed the throbbing in my temples and pretended that nothing was wrong. I looked at the last few glasses of wine in the middle of the table and said, "There are only a few glasses left. What do you want to drink?"
Everyone has seen that I am by no means a kind person, so they will not rashly challenge me.
I had to turn my head and look at Cheng Qing on the left. He made me drink nearly ten glasses of wine in a row, and I was completely confused. When I talked to him, he took a moment to look at me.
"Mr. Cheng, why are you worse than a woman? Are you pretending to be drunk here to avoid the next drinking party?"
Cheng Qing drank too much and laughed very silly. He raised his hand, waved it, and said: "Miss Liang... you are a hero among women, and we can't compare with you."
I said, "No, Mr. Cheng and I get along very well, and I would like to have a few more drinks with you."
When Cheng Qing heard this, he paused for three seconds, then suddenly slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, Miss Liang is giving me face, and I can't let it slip. Here, I respect Miss Liang for this cup."
Cheng Qing stood up from the chair and reached for the wine glass in the middle of the table. His sleeves almost fell into the dish, which showed that he was really tall.
He came back with a glass of wine, and I blatantly raised the drink on the table and said to Cheng Qing: "Mr. Cheng, Xiangdong doesn't let me go out and drink too much. The family has strict rules, so I'm sorry. I can drink instead of wine this time." , you won’t pick on me, will you?”
When I moved out of Luo Xiangdong, Cheng Qing naturally couldn't say no, but he hesitated in his hand holding the wine glass.
I smiled and drank a glass of wine, while Cheng Qing bit the bullet and drank a glass of wine.
He frowned after drinking, but I didn't give him a chance to breathe. Then he poured a glass of drink, raised it up to him and said, "I'll toast you with this drink on behalf of Xiangdong. Jing Yan is under your 'care'. If Xiangdong knew, he would definitely toast you a drink."
Now everyone at the table knows that I am deliberately trying to mess with Cheng Qing, but everyone, including Cheng Qing, has to be dumb and eat coptis.
I thought to myself, what’s wrong with bullying him on purpose
Luo Xiangdong also said, don't be afraid if you bully anyone who is upset, he will be there to support you.
Besides, I am not someone to be easily manipulated. I am wronged and my debtor is responsible.
After hearing what I said, Cheng Qing's face turned red but darkened. He had no other way out than to laugh and drink.
I glanced around and saw that there were four glasses of wine in the middle of the round table. I was stunned and found four reasons that Cheng Qing couldn't refuse, forcing him to level the wine array.
When Cheng Qing drank the last glass, he was obviously exhausted. He wanted to grit his teeth and stamp his feet to drink it all, but he suddenly choked out in the middle of the drink. Although I ducked to the side, it still splashed on the hem of my clothes.
Cheng Qing choked so hard that he simply bent down and vomited directly. The man on his left was so frightened that he pulled up his chair and ran away.
I can't vomit myself after drinking, so I hate it when others do it, let alone in front of me. I frowned and pulled the chair back, further away.
After all, someone in the house has to clean up the mess. Two men came to help Cheng Qing, and everyone stood up.
I said, "I've been here for so long, and I've delayed everyone for so long. I won't interrupt your gathering. I'll leave first."
After saying that, I looked sideways at Li Jingyan and asked him in a low voice: "Do you want to go to our place?"
Li Jingyan said, "I'll take you out."
When we left the private room, Li Jingyan immediately said: "You drank so much just now, are you okay?"
I didn't have to try hard to open my eyes. At this time, my eyelids were drooping. I smiled bitterly and said, "Why is everything okay? Why don't you try drinking so much?"
Li Jingyan frowned slightly and said loudly: "Why do you bother? You've got yourself involved."
I said, "For the sake of my friend, I'll stab him in every possible way." While I was talking, I even made a stabbing gesture with interest.
Li Jingyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. I looked at him and said, "If you can't save face, go back. Anyway, they know what's going on. When you go back, you can resign to Boss Fangda, so you can have a reason and excuse."
