Actually, those who can work in a big enterprise like Chen's Group are all shrewd people.
To be honest, for those present, the fact that Su Yang was Xu Lize's wife, from the initial gossip to the later confirmation, besides a bit of envy and surprise, had become nothing more than table talk.
Moreover, since Su Yang was so open today and basically accepted every drink, after going around the table, the atmosphere heated up. With so many topics, people no longer focused on the gossip about Su Yang and Xu Lize.
It was just that Su Yang didn't expect that the sisters in the administrative department, who usually looked delicate, gentle and refined, could drink so heavily.
Two dozen beer bottles on the table were empty, but everyone still felt that it wasn't enough. They called the waiter over and ordered six more bottles of shochu.
When the "depth charge" was placed in front of Su Yang, she felt dizzy and thought that she was probably going to make a fool of herself today.
However, the atmosphere at the table was so lively. People's topics ranged from how Su Yang and Xu Lize met to the gossip about Chen Qichuan and Tang Ning. The women at the table were chattering like they were performing a grand show, and no one noticed that Su Yang was a bit tipsy.
"Are you okay?" Suddenly, someone whispered in her ear.
Su Yang felt light - headed, but she managed to maintain a bit of clarity.
She looked up at the owner of the voice. It took her several tries to focus her eyes and finally see Chen Sui's face clearly.
Just as Su Yang was shaking her head and about to ask Chen Sui if she could leave first, Xiao Fen, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly knocked on the table and teased her, "SUE, what's going on? Your glass is still full. Drink it up quickly!"
Su Yang quickly begged for mercy, "Sister Xiao Fen, I really can't drink anymore..."
"Oh, you can improve your drinking capacity with practice. Come on, let's finish the drinks on the table and then leave. I still have half a glass left. Let's drink it up together!"
Xiao Fen got drunk easily. She was already a bit tipsy herself, but she was still persuading others to drink at the table.
Hearing this, Su Yang glanced around. Everyone's glasses were indeed empty. She thought that she probably couldn't avoid this last mixed drink today.
Just as she picked up the full glass of wine, her palm suddenly felt empty. Someone directly took the heavy glass out of her hand.
Su Yang looked at her empty palm dizzily. Before she could say anything, she heard Chen Sui's deep laughter.
"Sister Xiao Fen, don't make things difficult for this little girl. She and I have to go to the convention and exhibition center to check the on - site arrangement tomorrow morning. If she gets drunk today, won't I have no one to order around tomorrow?"
Chen Sui's reason was quite reasonable. Xiao Fen didn't notice anything strange and just thought that he was really being capricious like a young master and wanted someone to be at his disposal tomorrow.
Just as Xiao Fen was about to nod and let Chen Sui drink on her behalf, Bai Weiwei suddenly coughed lightly.
"Is it just this last glass?" Bai Weiwei had also drunk a lot today. Although she wasn't dizzy, her face was already red. "Let's leave this last glass. After the anniversary celebration is over, I'll apply to the boss. We'll go on a big team - building trip again."
As she said this, she glanced at Chen Sui and motioned him with her eyes to put the glass down.
Seeing Bai Weiwei speak, everyone at the table lost their enthusiasm and began to pack up their things and prepare to go home.
Bai Weiwei turned around to pay the bill. After coming back, she sat next to Su Yang and asked her how she was going back later.
Su Yang was taking out her phone. As soon as she dialed the number, she heard Chen Sui say to Bai Weiwei, "I'll take her home."
Bai Weiwei looked up, gave Chen Sui a sidelong glance. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Su Yang say in a dizzy voice on the phone - "Xu Lize".
...
When Xu Lize, standing out from the crowd, appeared in the barbecue restaurant, only Bai Weiwei, Chen Sui and Su Yang were left at the table.
Seeing the tall and straight man walking in from the noisy aisle, Bai Weiwei waved at him vigorously.
At the table, Su Yang was very drunk, but surprisingly well - behaved. She was quietly leaning on Bai Weiwei's shoulder, frowning and looking uncomfortable.
"What's going on!" Xu Lize got angry as soon as he saw the little woman in this state.
He had patiently drunk a whole pot of Taiping Houkui in Meizi Zhai, only to come here to pick up a drunk person?
Seeing this, Bai Weiwei secretly scolded the women who had been booing and persuading others to drink at the table just now. Then she smiled apologetically at Xu Lize and said, "We all didn't know that her drinking capacity was so low..."
Young Master Xu suppressed his anger, reached out and pulled Su Yang up into his arms. His face still darkened.
"It's just a department dinner. Just eat well. Her stomach hasn't fully recovered yet. If she's this drunk, how can she go to work tomorrow?"
Xu Lize's question carried a sense of superiority and oppression, freezing the noisy atmosphere around.
"I'll ask for leave for her!" Bai Weiwei almost blurted out without thinking. She immediately took the opportunity to smooth things over, "I'll write the leave note for her. Let her have a good rest tomorrow..."
Hearing this, Xu Lize's expression softened a bit. Then he tightened his arms around the little woman who was too weak to stand steadily. He nodded at Bai Weiwei, glanced at Chen Sui, and then turned around and left without saying a word.
After Xu Lize left with Su Yang, Bai Weiwei felt that she could breathe more smoothly.
"I underestimated you. You've got a lot of nerve!" Bai Weiwei's eyes were still on the back of Xu Lize holding Su Yang, but the words she said were to Chen Sui.
Chen Sui was stunned for a moment, turned his head and glanced at Bai Weiwei, pretending to be stupid and saying, "Sister Weiwei, are you drunk too?"
Only then did Bai Weiwei shift her gaze to Chen Sui's face. She smiled and joked with him, "Just assume that I'm drunk. But what are you after?"
Chen Sui had actually drunk a lot today too. It's just that he had a good drinking capacity. He had been suppressing the feeling of being tipsy before and it hadn't shown. Now that the food was cold, the wine was finished and the people had dispersed, his slightly drunk appearance was faintly showing.
"I'm not after anything." Chen Sui gave a self - deprecating smile, looking calm, "It's just very strange. I have a crush on her."
"If I remember correctly, there's a generation gap between you and General Manager Xu." Bai Weiwei felt that she was probably really old. She could hardly understand the love views of young people anymore. Were today's kids so straightforward once they had a crush?
"Sister Weiwei, are you afraid that I'll steal her away from him?" Chen Sui was amused by Bai Weiwei's surprised expression. He showed his white teeth and burst into laughter. He looked like a harmless and sunny boy.
"I'm afraid that you'll get hurt!"
Bai Weiwei glared at him. She didn't know the details of the agreement marriage between Su Yang and Xu Lize. So she couldn't understand even more. Chen Sui had only been a colleague of Su Yang for a few days. How could he suddenly seem to be deeply in love?
But Chen Sui just smiled and didn't explain. Then he gently patted Bai Weiwei's shoulder and said gentlemanly, "Sister, don't worry. I won't do anything that goes against the moral bottom line. She's still Mrs. Xu now. I'll fight for her when she's not, and it won't be too late."
