Chapter 299
Qin Wei pulled herself together and followed He Hong and Li Yao to socialize. Fortunately, apart from Mr. Han who was quite aggressive at the beginning, the others did not force her to drink. However, they were also not as explicit as Mr. Han in stating their intentions about future investments.
Some who wanted to have a few drinks with the two leads were all warded off by Li Yao's excuses.
"Su Yang, have you seen President Zheng over there? You guys are more familiar so no need for me to introduce. Please take Qin Wei over to say hi. The lady next to him is his wife, don't get the name wrong."
He Hong said while pointing to a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes.
Su Yang did as told and exchanged a look with Qin Wei. The two went over quite in sync with forced smiles.
"President Zheng, long time no see! You're here too!"
Su Yang revealed a bright smile while greeting and introducing Qin Wei to the other party.
The woman next to President Zheng kept smiling at Qin Wei. Qin Wei also politely nodded back at her.
No wonder He Hong told them not to get the name wrong. President Zheng looked at least fifty while his wife was very young. One would think she was only twenty-five.
Looking at the two of them, President Zheng could not help but sigh:
"I've read this novel before. You two are what I imagine the young couple would look like. Wei Ning cp right? How lovely!"
Su Yang and Qin Wei nodded.
Anything is fine as long as you're happy with your imagination.
"I don't think so."
President Zheng's wife glared at President Zheng to show her displeasure.
"Old Zheng, there's no cp feel between them at all. Look at how estranged they seem. They're clearly a middle-aged couple who can't stand each other!"
President Zheng patted his wife's hand:
"Oh right, you're absolutely right!"
I see, President Zheng's wife doesn't like this. Investment could be at risk!
"So Old Zheng, continue investing for me!"
President Zheng's wife's words surprised all three of them.
President Zheng looked at his wife, full of confusion:
"You don't even like it but still want to invest? Dear, I don't understand."
President Zheng's wife had a fierce expression:
"We'll hire the screenwriter and have the male lead written off. The female lead will focus on her career. I want to see Qin Wei act out someone in power who doesn't love anyone! My Wei Wei has to focus on her career!!"
"Boss Qian, I've already raised my glass. Please humor me and finish this drink with me first!"
Boss Qian pushed Li Yao away, not controlling his strength in his drunken state. Then he said to Qin Wei again:
"Or does Miss Qin want to scold me again?"
I see, Qin Wei must have scolded him before over something.
Although she didn't know the reason, Qin Wei's reputation for scolding sponsors and peers was probably not unfounded.
Qin Wei hesitated for a bit but still raised her glass:
"Will this one drink be enough to let bygones be bygones?"
"Alright."
Before she could drink, the glass was snatched from her hand by Su Yang. Su Yang looked at her with bewilderment and a hint of anger:
"That's enough. Where's your dignity??"
"Su Yang!"
Before Qin Wei could speak, He Hong already scolded:
"Drinking some wine and you forget who you are! Go back and reflect!!"
Seeing Boss Qian was a bit embarrassed, He Hong tried to smooth things over:
"He's drunk and knows no better. Boss Qian, don't take it to heart with him."
Of course Boss Qian also didn't want to tear all facades. But he still had to vent his dissatisfaction:
"Young men want to play hero in front of their crushes. We were all young once so it's understandable. Since you took her drink, have that one on her behalf to humor me then."
Su Yang's voice was not loud but his enunciation was clear:
"I won't drink."
He Hong shot an ominous look at Su Yang and picked up a glass of red wine saying to Boss Qian:
"He won't drink so I'll drink in his place. Boss Qian let's go chat over there. He's drunk and doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth. I'll bring him to apologize tomorrow after he's sober. Scold him after he's awake and aware!"
Boss Qian was also very unhappy at this point. He's also a boss, yet they were the ones asking him here. They had a favor to ask of him but were tricking him like this!
"No."
Boss Qian also pushed He Hong away.
"Isn't this bullying me? Either I leave now or they both must drink this wine today."
