With so many people present, Qin Zhiyou was actually behaving decently. He didn’t even manage to squeeze in beside Lu Weixi during dinner. He was flanked by Boss Liao and Qin Zhigu, while Lu Weixi sat with the people from Lulu, far away from Qin Zhiyou.
However, her sitting far away didn’t mean she had left the eye of the storm. Earlier today, Qin Zhigu called her “Xixi”, and later Qin Zhiyou also joined in, making it clear he wants to pursue her.
Lu Weixi is very beautiful and some truly signed contracts with her because of her looks. However, she knew how to hide her light under a bushel, usually not making a significant effort in dressing up and even pushing a lot of business outwards.
Qin Zhigu is fine, but Qin Zhiyou probably started to harbor ill-intentions after seeing her at the foundation laying ceremony last time. Anyway, as a playboy, it’s not surprising he would want to pursue a beautiful woman when he sees one.
Even when she sat far away, the gazes of these two men fell upon her, obviously showing their intention to pursue her!
Being a dinner, inevitably, there will be toasts. Since Qin Zhiyou was the host, he definitely wouldn’t intentionally get his potential wife drunk. However, it wouldn’t look good if there weren’t any drinks at the banquet. Luckily, this restaurant had freshly brewed beer, so he ordered some.
After the first round of dishes were served, a bold fool walked straight up to Lu Weixi and proposed a toast. Whenever Lu Weixi was out, she would always excuse herself, stating that she doesn’t drink. If she mentioned she could drink, even if it were only half a cup of beer, she would be forced to drink until she dropped.
Qin Zhigu saw this, and immediately wanted to intervene. Although he has been abroad for many years, he understands the local drinking culture. But he couldn’t speak out, he lacked the position to do so. For Qin Zhiyou, however, didn’t care. He knew what it meant in the real estate industry if a woman could drink.
At that moment, his face sank, and he appeared rather unhappy. Just as he was about to speak, Lu Weixi had already taken up the man’s cup. She not only glanced at him but also raised her cup to Boss Liao and said in a light voice: “My colleagues know that I don’t drink at all. But as I take on this big project for the first time, I am truly grateful for Boss Liao’s appreciation. It’s an honor to work with all of you. So, I’ll drink this cup of beer, here’s to our pleasant collaboration.”
After saying these words, she finished the cup of beer in one gulp.
As soon as she finished, the whole room erupted in applause: “Good job, Engineer Lu!”
The same person wanted to propose another toast. Boss Liao smilingly said: “Last time Miss Lu had half a glass of red wine with us, she was about to knock out. We’re not those who force others to drink, just a sip will do, just a sip.”
Lu Weixi was indomitable. She got tipsy quickly, her face turning rosy as she spoke.
Since Boss Liao didn’t propose any toasts, neither Qin Zhiyou nor Qin Zhigu took the initiative. Who would dare to get her drunk then?
But she set a good precedent. Moreover, it was only beer, so the atmosphere at the dinner table quickly heated up, with people shouting and drinking.
Considering Qin Zhiyou’s status, no one dared to get him drunk when they came to propose a toast. Nobody dared to mess with Qin Zhigu because he was Simon White and the second son of the Qin family. Boss Liao was the head of the project, so no one ever dared to mess with him either.
But the case was different with Lu Weixi. Though she only drank one cup of social wine, she had to sip a little bit from time to time afterward.
If she drank too much, wouldn’t this night be…
