Someone in the team who knows how it goes, hesitantly proposes, “Why don’t we invite General Manager Liao for dinner tonight?”
Although it’s a bit late now to invite him for a meal, once they’ve met a boss like Liao, wouldn’t they be able to get projects in the future? Comparatively, they had to flatter and grovel before bosses like General Manager Liu from Yan Chang Company, but Liao’s status is much higher than Liu’s.
Manager Liao shakes his head, looking at Lu Weixi, “Let me do the inviting. Are you free tonight, Mr. Lu?”
Lu Weixi seems a bit uncomfortable, “I have something to do tonight.”
Manager Liao quickly changes his proposal, “Then how about tomorrow night?”
She glanced at her phone to check the time, hesitated for a while and then said, “Alright, let’s do it before nine in the evening.”
Xiaochen and Xiaoqian who were nearby were utterly impressed. When Lu Weixi landed this deal, there were jealousy and behind-the-back rumors concerning her in Green Source, suggesting that she must have charmed Manager Liao to get this.
Listening to her now, Manager Liao didn’t object at all, instead, he laughed and agreed, “Yes, it’s just a casual meal. Eating too late isn’t good for the body.”
Then they saw Lu Weixi, seemingly reluctantly, nod.
Damn it, anyone who says Lu Weixi climbed her way up by seducing people, come here, and I will make sure to punch your face in!
Upon hearing about the dinner, the boss of Green Source also rushed over with eager strides.
Manager Liao led them to a private room in a high-end business restaurant. A variety of dishes were ordered, mostly light ones that women prefer. Instead of strong spirits, there was only a bottle of red wine on the table. Manager Liao instructed one of the staff to decant the wine, “This is Romani Conti from ’05, at its best drinking period.”
Lu Weixi knew that the price of this bottle of red wine was higher than all the dishes on this table. Manager Liao was this generous, of course, for the sake of Qin Zhiyou, who was just behind her.
If she could build a connection with Qin Zhiyou, he could even gift her a case of Romani Conti.
Lu Weixi silently picked up a fruit juice. She tried to avoid alcohol in public. Besides, she needed to drive back. However, the boss criticized her, “Xiao Lu, you should at least taste the good wine from Manager Liao. I know you can’t hold your liquor, but you should at least have a glass.”
Before Manager Liao could persuade her, Lu Weixi took the wine reluctantly so as not to appear disrespectful in front of the boss.
Manager Liao did not want to persuade her. However, the boss was delighted and insisted on toasting. The scene became warm and cheerful, everyone was getting high. Smilingly, the boss asked, “Manager Liao, how did you spot our Xiao Lu and her…work?”
Not only everyone at Green Source but also Lu Weixi herself was curious about this. Manager Liao took a sip of her wine and said, laughing, “It was purely on merit. And, to be honest, Lu’s design strictly speaking was what caught Simon White’s eye.”
Qin Zhigu.
Lu Weixi’s face changed subtly, and she remained silent, looking down.
“This is how it happened. When I received it, both the main designer and the company’s name were anonymous, listed only by the code. I don’t understand design; I select works that satisfy my aesthetic taste, then it’s Simon White’s team who give the final word. In the end, he suggested me to pick Mr. Lu’s work. Really, it left an impression.”
Lu Weixi did not speak. After the food was served and some time had passed, she finally raised her head,”I have to attend the groundbreaking ceremony for the new building too, right?”
Manager Liao smiled, “Yes, it will be in three days. I hope you all can attend at that time.”
