83 Like a meal (1/2)
I take the Secretary and her VP ”brother” back to the hotel to check in, put down their luggage, and then take them back to the company. I gather my colleagues from the design department and the creative department for a meeting.
VP hears several plans we have prepared, and expresses his satisfaction.
In this case, I finally know why our Deep Blue Entertainment Company in the business world can have such a big sadvantage!
Head of Design Department, female, in her thirties, beauty.
Head of Creative Department, female, in her twenties, beauty.
Designer A, female, in her twenties, quasi-first-class beauty.
Designer B, woman, in her twenties, quasi-first-class beauty.
I can say that the ”VP Brother” is almost fainted as soon as he enters the conference room. For any man, facing so many beauties around you to hand over a pile of business planning documents, are you ashamed to find fault in front of these beauties?
Moreover, these beauties have produced those business plans pretty well. Even if there are some minor flaws, are also basically ignored.
That Secretary lady is a little upset. Since she enters the conference room, her pink face has not shown a smile. Fortunately, she is only a secretary, can only sit aside to make some simple records. However, at this level of business negotiations, it is a secretary can interrupt.
”Basically no problem.” VP closes the project folder with a smile on his face: ”I will take this plan back and review it by the company's designers first, but generally there should be no problem. Tomorrow we can check the venue and see your exhibition plan, as well as a preview of the exhibition venue.”
From beginning to end, I said little, just sat around and listened. I have to attend the meeting, but I couldn't get in touch because I don't know much about business. But it was interesting to sit around and watch that secretary lady pout her lips with upset.
I gloat to guess over, when they return to the hotel tonight, the ”VP brother” might have a hard time.
After the afternoon meeting, the next thing slightly jumps out of my expectations.
There's a working dinner. Although in Deep Blue Entertainment Company, there are all beauties. But they are experienced too many business social. Generally speaking, women are born to suffer more than men, but tonight I have my eyes opened!
Why?
They drink too much!
Give the devil his due, I have seen many women who can drink!
The girls in the nightclub used to accompany the guests to drink and sing every night, which has become their profession! I've seen the best girl who can drink seven or eight bottles of beer in one breath, even doesn't need to go to the toilet!
But tonight I've seen a real drinker! The 30-year-old beauty in the design department takes a glass with ease at the beginning of the dinner, half a glass of 52-degree liquor! She lifts her neck and drinks it all! Then she looks at VP and smiles calmly: ”You are a guest from afar. I'll drink for respects first!”
I see VP's face with a little shock in the smile.
Then two other beauty colleagues who accompany them also raise their glasses and drink a full glass of wine!
I sigh, and drink too.
The first bottle, 750ML, isn't wasted a drop. We just ”drink for respects first” and finish the whole bottle directly.
Then comes the second bottle. Everyone fill their glasses with wine, and several colleagues take turns to toast. The VP is supposed to be a good drinker, but he can't hold up so many beauties taking turns to toast.
As for the secretary, she may have seen some scenes, but after being pulled together by a colleague and drank two full glasses, she is already a little dizzy.
What are the specific meals on the dinner? I haven't tasted at all. Finally, we finished four bottles. Untill drink the last bowl of porridge. I find that my stomach can't feel hunger, only the burning sensation of alcohol.
Most of our beauty colleagues are without batting an eyelid. At most, their faces are flushed, but their eyes are clear. VP has been faint, sitting on the chair, a bit hard to laugh and speak. I had helped him to the toilet and he had shut himself in the bathroom and vomited for five minutes.
When he comes out, takes my hand, and says incoherently, ”Brother, your company's beauties are so sharp!”
I then secretly ask the colleague of the creative department, ”Why do we treat him to drink so much? Is it really OK?”
”Hum!” She whispers to me, ”Today is revenge! Chen Yang, you don't know, last month when some of our colleagues went to their place to discuss business, we were poured into wine by them horribly!”
Maybe it's the characteristic of doing business. Many of the feelings in the business between two parties are from drunk at the table.
VP seems to be in high spirits. After dinner, he says goodbye to all the beauty heroines, but pulls me aside. Then he calmly gives the hotel room key to the secretary: ”You go back first. I'll find a place for tea with Manager Chen Yang and talk about some business matters.”
The secretary estimates that she is itching with hate, but she can only squeeze a smile to take the hotel room key, and takes a taxi back to the hotel by herself.
After seeing off the secretary, VP turns to look at me with a lewd smile: ”Chen Yang, what activities shall we arrange for tonight?”
