C697 At the Table
She said softly, "Thank you, Director Wang, for your hospitality. "
Wang was always a middle-aged man with a big belly. At this age, most people did not seem to be able to avoid beer bellies and Mediterranean hairstyles.
Director Wang laughed heartily, "Not at all. "
Bai Youyou did not stand on ceremony. Ye Mingchen moved his chopsticks, and the others moved. Just as they started to eat, Director Wang got someone to open a bottle of white wine. His assistant actively poured wine for them.
Director Wang raised his goblet and toasted to Ye Mingchen. Director Wang took a sip and gave him face. This was how it was at the table. The more you drank, the more important that person was to you, and the more face you gave him.
Ye Mingchen was not shy. He lifted the goblet with his slender fingers and finished it in one gulp.
Usually, if the person who was toasted had a higher status, the meaning would be clear. Ye Mingchen's drinking method made Director Wang laugh so hard that he could not open his eyes. He kept praising Ye Mingchen for being good at drinking.
Bai Youyou watched from the side. As expected, the next one was her. When Director Wang was toasting her, she had already stood up with a wine glass in her hand. She had a calm smile on her face.
"Wait. "
Ye Mingchen's deep voice was slightly hoarse after drinking the wine. His cold eyes looked at Bai Youyou. "Director Bai is allergic to alcohol. "
"Huh?" Director Wang did not react for a second. A second later, he understood what he meant. "Sorry, sorry. I don't know. I still have to drink with Director Bai. If I drink, don't drink anymore!"
Director Wang was forthright again. After he finished drinking, he called his assistant, "Change the Director Bai into drinks!"
"No need. "
Bai Youyou's clear voice sounded in the room. She held the wine glass and brought the transparent white wine to her mouth. She slightly narrowed her eyes and also swallowed it in one gulp.
When the strong wine entered the throat, it first pierced the spiciness of the throat. When it calmed down, it was a mellow fragrance.
Bai Youyou's eyes were watery. She raised the wine glass and let everyone see the empty wine glass. Then there was a bright smile.
"Director Wang gave me face. Of course I can't avoid the wine. "
Director Wang was stunned. Why was he drinking when he was allergic to alcohol? He first looked at Ye Mingchen's dark face, then looked at Bai Youyou's smile. There was a string of cold sweat on his forehead. He suspected that this was a conflict between the husband and wife.
However, he thought too much, but his mouth was full of happy words. "Thank you, Director Bai, for thinking highly of me!"
At this point, the toast had ended. Next, it was time for the employees to chat. It was lively with more people, and the atmosphere instantly heated up.
Bai Youyou put down the wine glass and did not drink anymore. She sat beside Zhao Quan and casually ate. She felt a burning gaze on her. She did not need to think to know who it was.
Zhao Quan chatted with the other employees. The meal was going pretty well, but she did not know when Director Wang would sign the contract.
Bai Youyou looked up at Director Wang. He stood up and raised his belly to toast. Other than Ye Mingchen and Bai Youyou, the rest were his employees. They drank without restraint.
Very quickly, his face turned red and his eyes started to drift. His voice became louder and louder. After saying a few words, the employees echoed him and became more and more excited.
Bai Youyou suddenly felt that her eyes were somewhat blurred and her gaze was unfocused. It was not easy for her to concentrate and see the things in front of her again.
She ate two mouthfuls of food and slowly took a deep breath.
