You’re not signing unless I show up?
Since that’s the case, you’ve eaten so many delicacies, ordered so much wine, and gotten my two colleagues drunk. You’re truly despicable!
However, she said, “Thank you, Brother Li, for taking care of my business and for thinking highly of me.”
“I’m late, I’m sorry, Brother Li. I’ll toast you first to apologize.”
She poured herself a glass of wine and raised it, but Vice President Li raised his hand and stopped her.
“Hey, don’t rush to drink. Since you’re apologizing to me, you should follow my rules.”
“I’ve already had several bottles of this wine, it’s boring. Let’s try something else.”
“I specifically brought you a bottle of Huadiao wine.”
As he spoke, he took out a short, pot-shaped wine bottle from the chair to his left, tied with a red ribbon. .oΓg
“This is good stuff, also from Maotai Town, and it hasn’t been released on the market yet.”
“A supplier gave it to me as a gift, and I brought it to share with you. Isn’t that very kind of me?”
Kind my ass. Xiang Wan thought.
I haven’t been in society for the first day, how could I not know this?
In public, once a person leaves, the wine and drinks on the table cannot be touched again.
Wine and drinks brought by others cannot be touched casually.
This person is stingy to death, with no sincerity in signing the contract with them, and even brought a bottle of wine to share. Could he have such a good conscience?
If you say he has no ulterior motives, even ghosts wouldn’t believe it.
It’s a pity Xiang Wan couldn’t expose him in person.
“Wow, Manager Li is so thoughtful to bring me wine, I’m so touched.”
“But this bottle in my hand is already opened. Wouldn’t it be a waste not to drink it? Let’s finish this one first, and then the four of us can share this bottle together, how about it?”
Vice President Li smiled, “Sharing is sharing, and your apology is your apology. They are different.”
Saying that, he snatched the wine from her hand, poured it onto the ground with a “whoosh,” and slammed the wine glass onto the table.
“I won’t ask you to drink three cups anymore, just one. We can save it and drink it slowly.”
“You are different from them. You must taste the first sip.”
The yellowish liquid slowly poured into the glass, like… Xiang Wan felt nauseous just looking at it.
She suppressed her disgust and straightened her expression.
“I can drink the wine, and I can apologize. We can also agree to whatever arrangements Manager Li has next.”
“But since the reason for this meal is to discuss work, we need to clarify the work matters, otherwise, we won’t be able to explain when we get back.”
“How about this, Brother Li, I’ll drink the wine, and you sign the contract for us, what do you say?”
“Hahaha, Sister Wan is indeed Sister Wan, you’re so different from your disciples.”
Vice President Li pinched her face disgustedly and said in a tone he thought was doting.
“After drinking for so long, they didn’t dare to say this to me, but you brought it up as soon as you arrived. You’re direct enough, I like it!”
“Alright, since your Brother Li said I like to save face for you, you give me face, and I’ll give you face.”
“Drink. After three cups of wine, whoever doesn’t sign is a turtle.”
It was just one cup a moment ago, and now it’s three cups?
However, it’s good to be able to get the contract signed.
Just then, Xiao He and the female disciple returned together, and Xiang Wan asked them to bring out the contract.
The contract is to be signed after a short trip to vomit?
The two disciples hurriedly presented the contract, looking at Xiang Wan in astonishment.
Xiang Wan raised her wine glass and said with a heroic tone.
“My two disciples can bear witness, three cups of wine, I drink one cup, you sign one word. After I finish drinking, you sign and stamp it. Whoever goes back on their word is a turtle!”
“Haha, good! I like dealing with straightforward people like you, come on!”
Like playing a game with children, Xiang Wan drank a cup of wine, and Vice President Li signed his name.
After finishing the three cups, he finally stamped the seal.
“Then I wish us a happy cooperation in the future, let’s all toast!”
After drinking two more cups of Wuliangye mixed in, Xiang Wan finally couldn’t take it anymore.
She felt dizzy, nauseous, and hot all over. She needed to go to the restroom to vomit.
The female disciple accompanied her. Vice President Li surprisingly didn’t stop them.
As soon as the two entered, the female disciple’s phone rang.
The restrooms in high-end hotels were decorated like luxurious private rooms, and the phone’s ringing at this moment was particularly noticeable.
Xiang Wan leaned down and dry-heaved. The female disciple excitedly answered, “President Tang!”
“Where are you now? Is Xiang Wan with you? Is everything okay?”
The girl stated the address, “Nothing happened, Sister Wan just drank too much. We are in the restroom now, and the contract has been signed.”
“Signed? It was signed so easily?”
“I don’t know what happened, but as soon as Sister Wan toasted him three cups, he signed.”
“……”
Tang Haichao had a hunch that things weren’t that simple. He glanced at Lu Mingzhe, who was driving wildly.
“Got it, I’m coming over now. You two should either stay in the restroom the whole time and lock the door, or go to the lobby on the first floor. Remember, don’t go near anyone surnamed Li again.”
“President Tang…”
“Do as I say, don’t be afraid. He’ll at most dare to do something to your drinks, he won’t dare to do anything blatant. I’ll be there soon.”
What he said sent a chill down the female disciple’s spine. As soon as she hung up the phone and took a step, a rough and strong hand grabbed her.
She turned around and met Vice President Li’s sinister smile. Just as she was about to scream, Vice President Li’s disgusting mouth pressed against hers.
The restroom was a mess.
When Tang Haichao and Lu Mingzhe arrived, there was blood at the entrance of the restroom, and someone was lying on the ground, almost making Lu Mingzhe’s heart skip a beat.
Pushing Tang Haichao aside, he rushed into the men’s restroom first to check. There was nothing unusual.
Disregarding everything else, he rushed into the women’s restroom again.
On the floor of the women’s restroom, Xiang Wan was slumped against the corner, her hair covering her face, it was unclear if she was drunk or…
About two steps away from her sat a young man in a white shirt and black trousers, with a seemingly broken forehead. A woman of similar age was bandaging him.
Lu Mingzhe glanced at them and anxiously rushed to Xiang Wan.
“Wanwan! What’s wrong, Wanwan?”
“What happened to her?”
The female disciple recognized him. She had argued with Tang Haichao at a dinner a few days ago.
“Who are you?”
“Xiang Wan’s man! Niannian’s daddy! Tell me quickly what happened to her!”
—
Lu Mingzhe drove the car extremely fast, glancing at the road and then at Xiang Wan, who was uncomfortable in the passenger seat.
“Hold on a little longer, bear with it. I’ll buy you a hangover pill right away.”
“Don’t move your clothes, don’t pull at your clothes!”
Xiang Wan couldn’t hear anything. She only knew she was thirsty, hot, and uncomfortable. She wanted to grab onto something, otherwise, she felt empty inside.
“I’m uncomfortable, I’m uncomfortable…”
“I know, we’re almost at the pharmacy!”
“So thirsty, so thirsty…”
Lu Mingzhe pulled the car over and hurried to buy two bottles of mineral water.
Running back to the passenger seat, Xiang Wan’s newly bought Chanel dress was no longer in shape.
She was so fair, her skin as smooth as tofu. In this uncomfortable and unconscious state in front of Lu Mingzhe… it was no different from killing him.
“The water is here, I’ll feed you.”
