C162 Regenerative Scourge
Anyway, favors weren't worth anything, so it was good to get familiar with each other.
After drinking the first cup of wine, Ye Chen looked at Lu Xueqi who was at the side and said with a smile: "Xu Tun, don't listen to Old Wan's nonsense, I only understand a little. Right now, it's just Director Lu's chauffeur and bodyguard.
Hearing this, Xu Yaoming and Wan Changjiang couldn't help but look at Lu Xueqi.
The latter had an indifferent expression, even subconsciously nodding her head in agreement.
This...
Xu Yaoming and Wan Changjiang, the two old foxes looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding. To be able to conquer a woman like Lu Xueqi, Ye Chen was not simple at all.
There were many suitors in the Binjiang City, and Zhang Ziliang was one of them. Actually, Lu Xueqi's name had already spread throughout the entire province, and she had a certain level of fame in other cities as well.
After all, a woman who was able to control such a large group and was also beautiful, who didn't enjoy talking about it?
From the looks of it, she had already made her decision.
"Sure, sure."
Xu Yaoming came back to reality as he smiled and nodded.
"CEO Lu, come have a toast with Xu Tun, I hope our cooperation will go smoothly." Ye Chen turned his head to look at Lu Xueqi, and unexpectedly commanded in a tone of voice.
In her heart, Lu Xueqi was secretly grateful that Ye Chen had stepped forward to help her, but she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with her words. Smiling and nodding, he lifted up his wine cup and clinked it with Xu Yaoming's.
"Cough, cough …"
It was unknown whether it was due to anxiety or choking, but Lu Xueqi suddenly started to cough intensely.
Ye Chen frowned, he immediately walked over and patted his back, then handed her a cup of water: "Drink more slowly, you are already used to drinking red wine and foreign wine, this white wine is not necessarily something you can get used to."
"Got it."
Lu Xueqi drank a mouthful of water to suppress the feeling that she was about to cough, and only now did she notice that her relationship with Ye Chen was a little intimate. She couldn't help but turn her head to glare at Ye Chen.
It was unknown if it was because she had choked on the alcohol, but her exquisite face had a tinge of red on it, making her look extremely alluring. In Xu Yaoming's and Wan Changjiang's eyes, she looked back at Ye Chen, as if she was looking at him shyly.
What happened next was basically none of her business.
With Wan Changjiang's arrival and his desire to befriend Ye Chen, the atmosphere gradually became lively, yet Lu Xueqi had actually become a character that one could not catch up with.
After three rounds of wine and five dishes.
Ye Chen looked at the atmosphere, his work had been completed smoothly, and he kicked Lu Xueqi under the table without leaving a trace, reminding her that it was time to get down to business.
However, Lu Xueqi was obviously not clear about the meaning behind this small action, and directly kicked back with revenge.
Ye Chen, "..."
He was speechless. Why was this woman acting like a child in this situation? She was no longer as calm as she was at the party. He could only give her another kick and wink.
Lu Xueqi still did not understand. She gave her a glare and kicked back, this time with quite a bit of strength. Even Ye Chen felt a bit of pain.
"I have serious business to attend to."
Ye Chen was helpless, and could only signal with his mouth.
Lu Xueqi finally understood as her beautiful face flushed red with a "whoosh", and then, she lowered her head to avoid Ye Chen's gaze. This time, she came here to cause trouble, raised her cup, and toasted Xu Yaoming.
After finishing his wine, Xu Yaoming did not hesitate and began negotiating with Lu Xueqi.
Everything was going very well.
Putting aside the conflict at the start, this Xu Yaoming was still considered a more reliable collaborator. After all, he was someone that Wan Changjiang had introduced to him.
If there were no surprises, this cooperation could be considered a success.
Ye Chen watched as the corner of Lu Xueqi's mouth gradually revealed a smile, and he couldn't help but smile as well. After taking a sip of his wine, he turned around and walked out of the private box.
...
"CEO Lu, we've talked about the general situation. We'll talk about the details when we get back to the company tomorrow." As Xu Yaoming spoke, he raised his wine cup and laughed: "CEO Lu, I wish our cooperation to be a success."
Lu Xueqi nodded, and picked up her wine cup.
After the two finished their drinks, Xu Yaoming praised: "CEO Lu, I didn't think that you were actually a wine hero."
Lu Xueqi laughed: "You're welcome."
Although his expression was somewhat cold, Xu Yaoming did not mind. He already understood Lu Xueqi's personality, so after a laugh, he started to chat with Wan Changjiang.
Lu Xueqi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Drinking this wine simply made her feel uncomfortable, even more than going through a difficult negotiation.
Of course, she was also clear that all of this was because of Ye Chen.
If not for Ye Chen, let alone this collaboration, even his Heavenly Beauty Group had ceased to exist.
Thinking up to this point, she couldn't help but feel warmth in her heart.
Just then, someone knocked on the door. Li Qiuyue hesitated for a moment, then opened the door, seeing the two people outside, her face changed.
Li Clan Group's Li Mingliang and Zhang's Group's Second Young Master Zhang Ziliang, the two of them had reddened faces, obviously having drank a lot.
"Xu Tun, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here." Li Mingliang pushed Li Qiuyue, who was blocking the door with a cold face, and immediately put on a smile. "Why didn't you call me when you came?
When Lu Xueqi saw Li Mingliang walking in, his face darkened, and when he saw Zhang Ziliang, who was behind his, his expression became gloomy. If he did not have any sense, she would have already stood up and left.
"So it's the President Li. I'm here to discuss a business deal, I plan to look for you after I'm done." When Xu Yaoming saw Li Mingliang, he said with a face full of pleasant surprise: "To be able to meet him here, is also fate."
"Indeed, fate." Li Mingliang glanced at Lu Xueqi, and then clinked her cup with Xu Yaoming with a smile.
"So you're talking business with Boss Lu." Li Mingliang looked at Lu Xueqi, and said eerily: "Looks like CEO Lu has no other way, there's no way to go this city, you want to go further."
Lu Xueqi's face was cold, she did not say a word.
"You two know each other?" Xu Yaoming stared blankly for a moment, then laughed: "That's true, you are all business owners of this city, and also have connections in their business, there's no reason why you wouldn't know each other."
"It's more than just knowing each other. He was previously a business partner." Li Mingliang paused for a moment, and then, he moved closer to Xu Yaoming's ear. "Old Xu, listen to Big Brother's words of advice, don't work with this woman, or else you'll be in endless trouble. There's already no company in Binjiang City that can work with this woman, of course, other than Wan Changjiang, you can consider things carefully."
Xu Yaoming frowned.
"In short, don't work with this woman. On one hand, it's for your own good. On the other hand, just treat it as giving face to big brother." Li Mingliang said smilingly: "Afterwards, you will benefit greatly."
Xu Yaoming's face darkened, and in the end, nodded his head.
Seeing that, Li Mingliang grinned, then nodded at Zhang Ziliang complacently, finally focusing his gaze on Lu Xueqi, his eyes revealing an unspeakable smug look.
