Today is Tong Jiangxin's first day working in Lu's negotiation department. Tong Jiangxin knows without thinking that all the people from Lu's have already pierced her spine behind her back, but from the moment she made up her mind to come here
, she was already prepared.
Jiang Hanwen invited him to dinner in the evening, and finally made a reservation at the Wanhua Hotel in Kowloon Tong. Dozens of people from the entire negotiation department drove there in a grand manner.
Jiang Hanwen booked a luxurious private room with two large tables. Of course, Tong Jiangxin sat at the same table with him. The food and wine were all reserved, so as soon as everyone arrived, Jiang Hanwen suggested that everyone offer a drink to Tong Jiangxin.
The men were quite happy, but the women couldn't handle it, but they all drank in the same style. After drinking, everyone sat down to eat together.
During the dinner, a woman asked, "Ms. Tong, I heard that you are majoring in MBA. Why did you come to our negotiation department?"
As soon as the question came out of her mouth, she felt that it was not very thorough, so she added, "Ah, don't think too much, we are very happy that you come to the negotiation department, it's just a simple question."
Tong Jiangxin smiled lightly and replied, "I am majoring in MBA, but the company's negotiation department is short of people, so I came here."
The woman raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why is there a shortage of people in our department?"
Jiang Hanwen said, "Haha, it's fate that we can all get together. In the future, when we work together, we need to support each other!"
Tong Jiangxin smiled lightly and replied, "Mr. Jiang, you're welcome. I'm new to Lu's, and there are still many things I don't understand. I need the guidance of my seniors!"
She said this politely, and everyone walked down the steps.
After the food was over, I didn’t know who asked for a toast first, so everyone started to bombard Tong Jiangxin in turn.
At first, Tong Jiangxin could withstand it, but later, she really couldn't stand it anymore.
A female colleague toasted Tong Jiangxin, but Tong Jiangxin politely declined and said, "Senior, I really can't do it anymore and I have to go home at night."
The woman said, "Hey, you're not missing this one cup. If you don't drink, you're just missing this one cup from me?"
Seeing this, Tong Jiangxin couldn't let the lively atmosphere cool down, so she could only pick up the wine glass. Just as she was about to drink, the glass was snatched away by another person. She turned her head and saw that it was Li Mingyang.
.
Li Mingyang took the wine glass from Tong Jiangxin's hand, smiled and said to the female colleague standing in front of them, "I drank this glass for her!"
The woman immediately raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you drinking her wine?"
Li Mingyang smiled lightly and said, "I just want to drink with you, but since you haven't come to me for so long, I have no choice but to volunteer, right?"
When he said this, the woman opposite him immediately smiled.
Li Mingyang took a step forward, cleverly blocking the line of sight between the woman and Tong Jiangxin, and then stretched out his hand to make a withdrawal gesture to Tong Jiangxin.
Tong Jiangxin received the signal and immediately walked to the bathroom.
As soon as she reached the door, Tong Jiangxin heard faint voices coming from inside.
"Humph, isn't she just Tong Jiangxin? Look at how everyone is fawning over her. The boss is rushing to treat her to dinner, and those snobby people are eager to get in on her. Isn't she just a young lady from a down-and-out family? As the saying goes, down-and-out
A phoenix is worse than a chicken! I really don’t see what she is capable of!”
Another voice came, "Hey, don't compete with her here. Is it worth it? There are people behind her, so what's the use of being angry!"
"Who are you talking about?"
"I'm not sure who it is, but have you heard about it? All the scandals about Tong Jiangxin and Mr. Lu in Hong Kong were cleared up within three days, without leaving any trace!"
"Hey, it's my fault that I wasn't in Hong Kong those few days. I didn't see the nose and eyes you mentioned!"
There were two women's voices on both sides. Tong Jiangxin stood by the door, her head buzzing. She didn't know if it was because she drank too much.
Suddenly a voice came from behind, "Jiang Xin? Why are you here?"
Tong Jiangxin turned around subconsciously, and behind her was a female colleague from the same department with a fairly cheerful personality.
"Oh, I'll take a walk here."
As Tong Jiangxin said this, she turned her peripheral vision to the bathroom. It was completely silent, and she probably heard sounds from outside.
She wasn't angry, but felt inexplicably sad. Tong Jiangxin didn't say anything, nor did she go in to see who was talking. She just chose to leave in silence.
After returning to the wine table, Tong Jiangxin seemed to be a different person. She smiled and took the wine from everyone. She drank until she was dizzy and had a stomachache, but she seemed not to notice it.
It turned out that God had arranged such a life for her, and she couldn't escape it, so she had to accept it.
When she was sober, she didn't dare to cry, but she forced a smile every day. But when she was drunk, even through the effect of alcohol, she wanted to be free to be herself.
Dozens of people were having a high time in the private room. Tong Jiangxin didn't remember how much she drank, but she felt in a daze that many people were drunk by her.
After the dinner, under the command of Jiang Hanwen, the men in the same group were responsible for sending the women back.
Tong Jiangxin drank so much that she wanted to spit it out as soon as she lowered her head. She carried her bag and stepped on the ground with one foot deep and one shallow.
She watched helplessly as there was a step in front of her, and she felt that she had lifted her foot, but in fact, she tripped and fell forward.
A person next to me quickly grabbed my arm to prevent my body from coming into close contact with the ground.
After coming back to her senses, Tong Jiangxin said to the people around her, "Thank you."
When Li Mingyang saw that she was so drunk, he said, "Where do you live? I will take you back?"
Tong Jiangxin smiled and waved while helping him out of the hotel door.
"No, I can just take a taxi back."
Tong Jiangxin still maintained the last trace of reason and wanted to stand firm, but her steps were sloppy.
Li Mingyang helped Tong Jiangxin to the side of the road, and was about to reach out to stop the car, but he saw a sports car driving in the distance with its headlights on. It was going very fast, and then it turned on its bright lights, which illuminated Tong Jiangxin.
Can't open my eyes.
Li Mingyang subconsciously pulled Tong Jiangxin towards him, and then only heard a small sound of brakes, and the sports car stopped in front of them.
Tong Jiangxin was in a daze, but when she saw clearly the people sitting in the car, she suddenly woke up like a bucket of cold water in her pocket.
Lu Chengxi, dressed in casual clothes, got out of the sports car, stood in front of Li Mingyang and Tong Jiangxin, and said, "Have you finished eating?"
I don't know if Lu Chengxi's presence was too strong, but a group of colleagues who came out of the hotel looked over. When they saw Lu Chengxi, they immediately froze, the same reaction as Tong Jiangxin just now.
