She did not ask Xu Moyan why Yan Hui was indifferent towards the matter, she was not that foolish. Ding Shang was only a chain restaurant under Yan Hui, the person in charge only had to report to Yan Hui periodically. Someone as trivial as Vice President Yao had no significant effect on the reputation of Yan Hui.
...
At six o’clock in the evening, Lin Chu and Zhu Jingjing followed You Weiwen to Hotel Sheng Yue after work. On the way, You Weiwen reminded both of them to behave well.
“I’d hate to see either of you making a mistake and end up upsetting the client. If the company suffers a loss because either of you ruins the chance for the company to work with them, your internship period ends here and you can just leave right away,” You Weiwen warned and cast a glance at Lin Chu.
Lin Chu sniffed at the brief stare that You Weiwen gave her on purpose. The corners of her mouth peeped a smile as if she did not understand the sarcasm directed at her and said, “As long as it’s within the limits of my working competence, I won’t let Manager You down.”
You Weiwen’s facial expression went dull.
“Manager You, rest assured that I’ll put my best self forward tonight,” Zhu Jingjing said as she attempted to please Manager You. “You don’t have to worry about me, I’m just afraid that someone else’s stubbornness and ego will get in your way.”
You Weiwen looked at Lin Chu displeasingly. He parked the car in the parking lot of Sheng Yue and took them to the private room that had already been booked. After waited for almost half an hour, Ding Shang’s Vice President Yao and the rest finally arrived.
You Weiwen sat facing the door whereas Lin Chu and Zhu Jingjing sat beside him. When Vice President Yao came over, Zhu Jingjing offered her seat to him, so Vice President Yao sat between Lin Chu and Zhu Jingjing.
Lin Chu felt uneasy about the seating position, but there was nothing she could do other than keeping her guards up.
A business dinner normally involved more alcohol drinking and less eating. You Weiwen did not bring up anything about the business deal, so Lin Chu figured that she should know her place and said nothing about it as well.
Vice President Yao took the initiative to fill up the glasses of Lin Chu and Zhu Jingjing with alcohol and said, “I don’t think I’ve met them before.”
“They’re interns who just recently joined our company and have only been here for three months.” You Weiwen poured some alcohol into Vice President Yao’s glass as well.
“No wonder they look so young. Look at their checks, so soft and plump as if water is going to flow out if I pinch them.”
Vice President Yao suddenly pinched on Lin Chu’s cheeks and said, “I see that you don’t have any makeup on. Your skin’s flawless. Let me see if you smell good.”
Vice President Yao who reeked of alcohol drew his nose closer to Lin Chu to take a sniff.
Lin Chu recoiled in shock. Seeing Vice President Yao so shamelessly approaching her, she gritted her teeth and was about to stand up. However, her shoulders were pressed down by You Weiwen.
“Lil’ Lin, Vice President Yao is someone who’s very keen on giving guidance and offering help to the younger generation. You’re in luck today. You should take this opportunity to learn more from him, there’s no need to be shy,” You Weiwen said while holding her shoulders down.
“I think there are a few more dishes that are yet to be served. Let me go and urge them,” Zhu Jingjing said as she put on an act and walked towards the door.
Lin Chu heard the sound of the door locking, but not the sound of the door opening. Her heart sank, she bit her lips and stood up with her bag suddenly.
“Lil’ Lin, what are you doing?” You Weiwen asked in a confrontational manner.
