Qiao Mu immediately turned and left without hesitation. She said, “Sorry for disturbing.”
“Wait a moment.” Before Qiao Mu could walk out of the door, a cold voice rang out. “What do you work as?”
Qiao Mu lowered her head and said in a soft voice, “I came to ask you guys if you want some red wine, but then I realized that you guys are already having it. So, I reckoned that you guys won’t be ordering anymore red wine…”
“How do you know that we won’t be ordering any? You didn’t even ask us.” Li Yan glanced at the bottle of red wine Qiao Mu was holding. “Lafite Rothschild 1982? How much?”
“120,000 RMB!”
Li Yan arched an eyebrow, and his gaze fell upon Qiao Mu’s face. As usual, he was expressionless, but his gaze somehow sent Qiao Mu into confusion.
Qiao Mu did not understand this man. Compared to ten years ago, he had become even more unfathomable.
A middle-aged man beside him said with a smile, “Young Master Li, you’re interested in Lafite Rothschild? I have two bottles in my collection. I’ll send them over to you tomorrow.”
Li Yan smiled flatly. “I appreciate your kind offer, President Chen. But I feel like drinking it now.”
President Chen was taken aback. Li Yan mentioned just now that he would only focus on business matters today without drinking.
President Chen looked at Qiao Mu, who was standing at the doorway, and raised his voice. “Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and bring the wine over!”
Qiao Mu could not believe that she managed to sell one bottle of red wine so easily. She had even raised the price of the red wine by 20,000 RMB when Li Yan asked her about it just now because she wanted to flee the scene. She did not expect Li Yan to still want the red wine.
If she had known that he was such a generous person, she would have said that the bottle of red wine cost 200, 000 RMB!
Qiao Mu brought the bottle of wine over. She lowered her head to avoid Li Yan’s cold gaze and focused on opening the bottle of red wine. This was when someone grabbed her wrist.
Qiao Mu turned and saw that the middle-aged man was holding her wrist. There was a perverted expression on his face. “Miss, I see that you don’t even know how to open a bottle of wine. Do you need my help?”
Qiao Mu felt nauseous. She almost shoved the middle-aged man’s hand away out of reflex, but she recalled what the manager had said about not offending customers. She decided to put up with it for the time being. She reached out for a wine glass and stealthily withdrew her hand from President Chen’s grip while doing so.
Qiao Mu forced a smile, “Boss, it’s my job to open the wine bottle. You shouldn’t snatch my job away from me.”
President Chen rubbed his hands together. ‘This young woman isn’t beautiful, but she had a pretty nice body. Her skin is soft and fair, and it feels really nice to the touch.’
President Chen reached out again, but Qiao Mu was able to react quickly, and she stepped aside to avoid the man.
President Chen’s expression changed. “Where are you going? Come and have a drink with me!”
“Boss, we have a sales target to hit every day. I don’t mind drinking with you, but I need to work.”
“You can leave if you want to, but you have to finish this bottle of whisky first.”
President Chen placed half a bottle of whisky before Qiao Mu, and Qiao Mu’s expression froze. She could not help but curse President Chen internally. After finishing the whisky, she might not even be sober enough to step out of the door. Right now, she would not be able to leave the private lounge easily whether she drank the whisky or not.
President Chen looked at Li Yan with a smile. “Young Master Li, you don’t mind some entertainment, do you?”
Qiao Mu looked at Li Yan without being aware of it, and there was a tiny flicker of hope in her heart that Li Yan would help her out.
Li Yan was sitting languidly on the couch, and he was tapping the armrest of the couch with his slender fingers in a rhythmic manner. He flashed a slight smile. “President Chen, your hobby is very unique indeed.”
President Chen did not know Li Yan well. He had only heard that Li Yan was a cruel and ruthless person who was merciless when it came to business matters. But after meeting him for the first time tonight, President Chen felt that Li Yan was merely a cold and distant person, and that he was not as scary as what was said in the rumors.
Hence, after Li Yan replied with a nonchalant tone, President Chen thought that Li Yan agreed with what he was doing.
