"I really don't want to offend him," Yang Xingang explained with a grimace, then smiled, a smile that was uglier than crying, "But Chen Ke, I really believe you..."
"Ahem," Chen Taizhong coughed twice, feeling an indescribable feeling in his heart, "Well, Xingang, you believe in me so much... Ahem, well, I'm very happy, really."
"But have you thought about me?" He wanted to run away, his fingers trembled violently, and his voice was slightly louder, "To tell you the truth, my reputation now is already very... so what?
Oh, Xingang, Xingang, do you want me to stink even more?"
"But, I really...believe you, Mr. Chen," Yang Xingang looked at him innocently, with sincerity in his eyes.
Holy shit, is this too much?
His actions made Chen Taizhong feel more and more helpless. Why...why do others do good deeds and appear to be beautiful both inside and outside, but when my friends do good deeds, they always end up being bad guys?
At this moment, the depression in Chen Taizhong's heart turned into a river.
In order to find employment for laid-off female workers, my buddy made chicken heads; in order to guide those gangsters to avoid taking drugs and follow the right path, my buddy became a smuggler; in order to earn wages for migrant workers, my buddy opened a debt collection company, and even did not hesitate to illegally use the state's violence machine...
Now, for the sake of my little brother's family, my brother has to be...what is this?
Ximen Qing?
"Alas," he sighed longly, looked at Yang Xingang, and felt that the smell of Wu Dalang could not be seen in this 7-meter-seven man. He could not help but lift his leg and kick his butt hard, and spoke through gritted teeth.
, "Let's go, come into the house, what are you doing standing around?"
In the private room, Qiu Zhixi, Gu Xin, and Ning Ruiyuan were chatting with smiles. Tonight, the three of them were the hot spots at the table. Their identities determined their control of the right to speak.
Bai Jie was listening to them with a smile. When she saw Chen Taizhong and Yang Xingang coming in, she immediately lowered her eyelids calmly, with a faint blush on her face.
Chen Taizhong didn't care. He stared at her twice before Shi Shiran sat down. Qiu Zhixi glanced at Yang Xingang intentionally or unintentionally, "Xiao Yang, what are you busy with?"
"I saw that Chen Ke was going out to add some food. Lin Lei followed him," Yang Xingang's mind was actually quite astute. When he and Chen Taizhong first met at "Cyclamen", he left something with Chen.
Not a bad impression.
He chuckled lightly, "Haha, we agreed that I would treat you today. We finally invited Minister Qiu and Section Chief Chen. How can we let Chen Ke go out and order food?"
Minister Qiu nodded. He didn't take it seriously. He turned to look at Chen Taizhong and smiled, "Ha, Xiao Chen left the table halfway. But he had to drink three glasses of wine as a penalty.
"Tsk. I can't drink well," Chen Taizhong frowned. He patted his forehead and looked extremely depressed, "Minister Qiu, two drinks, please? Drink in pairs, no more..." You can't drink well? Everyone here except
Qiu Zhixi and Bai Jie, no one believed this. Everyone knew that Chen Taizhong's drinking capacity was not ordinary. It seemed that... no one had ever seen him drunk, right?
However, when he said this, no one stood up to expose him for a while. The reason is very simple. Mr. Chen has never been coy about drinking. Today, he made an exception. There must be some reason, right?
Wang Taixin saw his drinking capacity at noon, but he was suspicious but did not answer the call. Strictly speaking, he had not integrated into Chen Taizhong's group yet, so being a spectator was the best option for now.
"How can this be done? Xiao Chen, everyone in your investment office is a master of drinking. Stop lying to me." Qiu Zhixi refused. He frowned, looked at Chen Taizhong with feigned anger, and actually made a joke,
"Your relationship is still in Hengshan, be careful I give you little shoes to wear..."
Give me little shoes to wear? You really take yourself seriously. Chen Taizhong was already in a mess. When he heard this, he became more and more unhappy. He glanced at the people on the table and found that everyone was smiling.
Looking at himself, only Yang Xingang's smile showed a hint of uneasiness.
Forget it, I've endured it, I've endured it. He bit his molars bitterly and smiled helplessly, "Why don't you, Minister Qiu, I can find someone to take a drink instead?"
"Just give me a drink instead," Gu Xin already sensed that something was wrong. Seeing that Qiu Zhixi wanted to persuade him, he interrupted with a smile, "Taizhong's drinking capacity is really... not good!" Li Nairuo has the most careless temper.
His nerves were as strong as those of Chen Taizhong. He was just about to interrupt, but Director Gu's words forced him back, and his heart suddenly started to beat: Damn, this table today doesn't seem too good.
It feels right...
When Qiu Zhixi heard Gu Xin speak, he was stunned for a moment and then shook his head, "Well, since Director Gu has spoken, well, let me substitute you with one drink. I can only substitute one cup. Who can help you substitute the drink?"
"Who can help me substitute the wine?" Chen Taizhong glanced at the people at the wine table blankly, but he kept thinking in his heart: I told you to jump out quickly, there are many people at this table who can help me substitute the wine... Woman,
Just not smart enough!
He reluctantly refused, just to give Bai Jie a chance to show that their relationship was unusual.
Fortunately, Bai Jie finally deserved his respect and stood up immediately with a smile, "I'll help Taizhong... I'll help Chen Ke have a drink."
She also acted like she "said the wrong thing" intentionally or unintentionally. Chen Taizhong looked at her and felt a little bit for a moment, is this woman... so good at acting?
As soon as Bai Jie stood up, everyone at the table was stunned. Qiu Zhixi's face had no expression, and no one could see his inner thoughts, but there was a secret flash of brilliance in his eyes.
Chen Taizhong coughed lightly and looked at everyone as if nothing had happened, "Xiao Bai, you can't drink either. Forget it, Lao Li, please give me a drink."
You can act. My acting skills are not bad, right? He felt a little proud for a moment. The effect of this hint should be very obvious, right?
Li Nairuo really didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore. The situation in front of him was really weird. He really couldn't believe that Chen Taizhong would attack Yang Xingang's wife. This was really impossible.
He is very familiar with Chen Taizhong and Yang Xingang and knows the relationship between them very well. They are very close colleagues.
However, if Bai Jie and Chen Taizhong had no ambiguous relationship, there would be no way to explain the scene just now. Anyone with some experience can guess that these two people are most likely having an affair.
"I'll just have a drink for you." Li Nairuo's brain was actually quite capable, and he was confused. He responded in an instant, "Haha, Chen Ke, if there is another penalty drink, then who should you go to?
Find someone."
In fact, this kind of weirdness only appeared for a short moment. Gu Xin and Ning Ruiyuan were both smooth people, and they stirred up the atmosphere again in a few sentences.
After Chen Taizhong drank the fine wine, the wine table became lively again, but most people had already felt in their hearts that the atmosphere would never be as harmonious as it was at the beginning.
The muscles on Qiu Zhixi's face soon relaxed, and he started to joke, but he seemed to have lost interest in Gu Xin, and turned to face Wang Taixin, "Haha, you two are classmates at Yale? What college are you from? That university is very famous."
"Professional in business management," Wang Taixin replied with a smile. He was not very clear about the change in the atmosphere just now. He only felt that there seemed to be a moment of silence just now.
"Oh," Minister Qiu nodded and opened his eyes wide, "are you an MBA?"
"No, it's mppm," Wang Taixin shook his head with a smile on his face.
"Oh, I think it's better to get an MBA, a master's degree in business administration," Minister Qiu didn't know that he had already made a fool of himself. He suggested seriously, "Those who are engaged in management should recharge their batteries more."
Wang Taixin was stunned for a moment and nodded silently, but Ning Ruiyuan couldn't sit still, "Yale's MPPM is equivalent to MBA, Masters Degree in
He had already vaguely felt that Chen Taizhong didn't like this minister very much. Anyway, with Chen Taizhong's protection, he wouldn't care much about such a small minister, and he would point out his fallacies even if he couldn't help it.
Qiu Zhixi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, "Haha, it seems that it's because I'm not well-informed, or because you guys who drink foreign ink are so powerful, Phoenix City is still too closed-off."
After saying this, he felt a moment of great hatred in his heart. Damn it, if you say something wrong, you are wrong. Why don't you learn from this Wang Taixin? Do you have to point out my fallacies in public? I'll offend you. ?
Compared with Chen Taizhong and others, his banquet was even more unpleasant. The pink and tender Bai Jie actually got very close to Chen Taizhong, and someone pointed out his fallacy on the spot.
