Translator: End less Fantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the morning, Meng Nianyao was busy with work. In the afternoon, she followed Gu Wencheng to meet several partners without stopping. At night, she thought that she could get off work, but Ping Yang said, “Boss, Manager An has already called several times. Should we take a break or go over now?”
“Now.” Gu Wencheng walked towards the car.
Meng Nianyao didn’t react in time. Ping Yang urged her, “Assistant Meng, hurry up and leave.”
“Alright.” Meng Nianyao responded and quickly walked over.
In the car, Meng Nianyao and Gu Wencheng sat in the back seat. Meng Nianyao quietly looked out the window, hands pressed over her stomach. Gu Wencheng was looking down at some documents.
When they reached the place, Meng Nianyao wanted to take some stomach medicine to cover her pain, but when she took out the medicine bottle from her bag, she found that it was empty. There was no pharmacy nearby, so she could only sigh and quickly catch up with Gu Wencheng.
Soon, they arrived at the private room. Gu Wencheng was late, so he was polite to the other party and offered three glasses of wine. “CEO Wang, I’m sorry. I was delayed on the way.”
President Wang was a veteran in the business world and knew Gu Wencheng’s identity and background. Rumors said that he was insufferably arrogant, but he didn’t expect to see that Gu Wencheng was different from the rumors.
President Wang stood up and smiled. “President Gu, you’re too polite. It’s rush hour now, and there’s a lot of traffic. It’s not your fault for being late.” There was no need to punish him with three glasses of wine. Just one glass of wine was enough.
An Xinya was sitting on CEO Wang’s left. At this moment, she smiled and said, “CEO Wang is right. We’re here to make friends today. If we want to drink, we won’t go home until we’re drunk at the celebration party.”
CEO Wang smiled and nodded. He looked at An Xinya and said, “Manager An really knows how to talk. No wonder you’re President Gu’s right-hand woman.”As he spoke, President Wang noticed Ping Yang and Meng Nianyao behind Gu Wencheng. He knew that Ping Yang was very loyal to Gu Wencheng and was very capable, but Meng Nianyao…
“This is…” CEO Wang looked at Meng Nianyao.
Ping Yang raised her glass and toasted CEO Wang, “Hello, President Wang. I’m President Gu’s assistant, Ping Yang.”
Since Ping Yang had already made the announcement, Meng Nianyao could only raise a glass of wine and introduce herself to CEO Wang. “Hello, President Wang. I’m President Gu’s assistant, Meng Nianyao.”
The wine on the table was all high-alcohol white wine. The moment it entered her throat, it burned like fire, spreading from her throat to her stomach. The moment she drank it, Meng Nianyao’s stomach throbbed, but she quickly suppressed it and her expression didn’t change.
After the self-introduction, everyone took their seats. Meng Nianyao and Ping Yang sat in the lower seats, Gu Wencheng and An Xinya sat together, and the others sat in turn. Everyone at the dinner table drank. At first, no one came to drink with Ping Yang and Meng Nianyao, but gradually, a few managers came over to toast Ping Yang, who took the opportunity to pick up her glass.
Because no one was familiar with Meng Nianyao, no one drank with her at first. After all, she was with Gu Wencheng and was also a female assistant. It was hard to guarantee that nothing would happen between the two of them. However, An Xinya stood up, took a bottle of wine and said to Meng Nianyao, “Assistant Meng, you’re a newcomer in the company. You still have a long way to go in the future. You have to deal with President Wang and his company often. Don’t just sit there and do nothing.”
An Xinya’s words sounded like it was for Meng Nianyao’s own good, but everyone knew that getting to know each other would inevitably lead to drinking.
The moment An Xinya finished speaking, the people CEO Wang brought over were tactful and took the initiative to say, “Assistant Meng is a girl. How can we let her toast us? “Come, come, let’s toast to Assistant Meng. We happen to have a few golden bachelors here. Who knows, we might even be able to form a beautiful marriage.”
The person who spoke was quite good at talking and bringing up the atmosphere. Only Ping Yang looked at that person and broke out in a cold sweat.
With someone taking the lead, someone quickly came forward to toast Meng Nianyao and even said in a gentlemanly manner, “I’ll do it.”
Meng Nianyao had no choice but to drink along. As the white wine went down her throat, her stomach burned. However, she had no choice but to force a smile at the person who came over.’Tm really sorry. My alcohol tolerance is not good, so I’ll use tea instead of wine. I don’t want to lose my composure when I’m drunk later and make a fool of myself.”
The person who came over to toast Meng Nianyao had drunk quite a bit previously.. Now that the alcohol had gotten to his head, he said unhappily, “What do you mean? Is Assistant Meng looking down on me? You can drink with others, but you’re using tea instead of wine here?”
