C93 (2/2)

”Leaders, let me toast you all.” Xia Lan stood up and raised his cup.

”Beautiful ladies toasting, I want to drink, I want to drink.” The few of them stood up and clashed cups with Xia Lan.

A cup of wine had just been drunk, but the leader did not sit down. He stood up and poured a cup of wine, and said to Xia Lan: ”We didn't drink together just now, this cup, Xia Secretary should drink alone with me.”

Xia Lan was a little taken aback. She had lived abroad for four years, and the work and social events abroad were fundamentally different from that of home.

The wine tables abroad were all very polite. Men and gentlemen, women knew their limits.

It was basically like right now, after drinking a cup, she still had to drink another cup without end. This made Xia Lan at a loss, even if she could drink a little, she couldn't drink two cups in a row right?

However, he had no choice but to drink his luck at this point.

If he didn't drink, he wouldn't give face.

Sure enough, the leader saw that Xia Lan was hesitating, he pretended to be unhappy and pressured: What, you're not even giving me face, Xia Secretary?

”No, how can I not drink? I just want to have a burp.” Xia Lan casually found an excuse.

Hearing that, the other party was amused: ”That's good, then come, Xia Secretary, let's do it!”

Xia Lan took a deep breath, just as the cup was sent over, before it could hit the other party's cup, the cup in her hand was already taken away by someone.

Xia Lan looked over in shock, only to see Gu Xi Jue standing beside her, holding her cup, he quickly knocked against the leader and said: ”She cannot drink, let me drink for her.”

With that, without waiting for the leader to speak, Gu Xi Jue raised his head and finished it in one gulp.

The leader was stunned for a moment before nodding his head. Then, he raised his head and downed the wine in his cup as well.

The leader sat down and suspiciously looked at Gu Xi Jue's cold face and the drunk Xia Lan. He finally understood that the Gourmet was protecting his secretary, so the relationship between the two must not be ordinary.

It's not like a lot of big bosses have subterfuge secretaries or assistants.

Seeing the other party's expression, Gu Xi Jue could guess what he thought of the two of them.

However, Gu Xi Jue did not explain. As long as they didn't bother Xia Lan anymore to drink, no matter what mistake they would make.

Sure enough, the leader thought Xia Lan was one of Gu Xi Jue's men, so he didn't ask for a drink with him anymore.

At this time, Xia Lan finally calmed down, and watched Gu Xi Jue drink one cup after another, and in her heart, she was a little indescribably worried.

Is it really okay to drink like this?

Could it be that this was how he drank at social gatherings?

”Are you worried about me?” Taking advantage that no one was paying attention, Gu Xi Jue quickly whispered into Xia Lan's ears.

”Of course not!” Xia Lan was unwilling to admit it, her face was slightly red.

Gu Xi Jue smiled lightly, and explained. ”Usually, it's Luo Song and the Vice President who meet each other.

He said, as if he was afraid that she didn't believe him, and added another sentence: ”I want to take Xiao Ze.”

This time, Xia Lan believed it.

Indeed, Xiao Ze had said before, father rarely socialized at night and would only stay home when he was away on a business trip.

It was already late in the night, and everyone was drinking to their heart's content. Only then did the banquet come to an end.

Before ending it, Gu Xi Jue went back to the main topic, holding onto the wine cup, he said: ”This matter has given the government a lot of trouble, but I have personally come this time to settle some matters. Give me a few days, and I'll definitely give the government a satisfactory result. ”
