Chapter 50: Dull Pain "Boss Sun, this...

"Mr. Sun, this is my cousin," Xia Lie frowned, "Why don't you come over here quickly?"

Xia Yiqing's handbag was placed on the chair. She was still wearing her business suit, which seemed a bit shabby for this occasion, but she didn't care. "Hello, Mr. Sun, I'm Xia Yiqing from the Xia Group."

"Hey, hello. How old are you? You don't look that old, do you? I heard from your boss Xia that you are his cousin?"

Mr. Sun looks very smart. He can be a grandson and also make others be his grandson.

Xia Yiqing said calmly, "I think your question has nothing to do with the cooperation we're discussing today. I can refuse to answer it."

Unexpectedly, the little beauty was so rude. Mr. Sun's face changed and he gritted his teeth.

His face turned bad, and Xia Lie also became worried. He looked at Xia Yiqing several times, but Xia Yiqing didn't react at all. She sat down as usual and introduced the plan of their project to Mr. Sun.

There was nothing wrong with the plan, but Mr. Sun kept eating or drinking, looking around and talking about other things. Whenever the plan was mentioned, he would smile and say, "There's no rush for the plan. Let's eat first."

Anyone who has worked in the workplace can see that Mr. Sun is probably just trying to get away with it.

Xia Lie drank it with gritted teeth.

Mr. Sun is from the north. He has a high alcohol tolerance and is very generous. After finishing a bottle, he felt dizzy, but Mr. Sun could still talk and smile.

Just when Xia Lie was feeling nervous and thought that tonight's cooperation was going to end, a slender and smooth hand grasped the wine glass and slowly lifted it up.

There is a small bump on the wrist bone, which makes the five fingers look more slender, and it belongs to a woman's hand.

What caught my eye was Xia Yiqing's smiling face. She raised her glass towards Mr. Sun, her glass slightly lower than Mr. Sun's. "Mr. Sun, I toast you."

Mr. Sun, who just didn't want to talk about cooperation at all and only wanted to eat and said that talking about cooperation would hurt feelings, couldn't suppress his smile this time.

Like a young boy, he raised his glass and clinked it with Xia Yiqing's. "Manager Xia is really straightforward."

The wine tasted spicy and unpleasant when it entered her throat. Xia Yiqing frowned slightly, then pretended nothing happened and swallowed it.

After three rounds of drinks, Xia Yiqing slowly raised her eyelids, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling with water, sparkling and charming. "Mr. Sun, if you don't mind, let's talk about cooperation now?"

"As for cooperation, of course we have to talk about it, but it can't be done without wine."

Xia Lie stood up, took the bottle and refilled the two people's glasses, and said attentively, "Mr. Sun, my cousin can drink a lot, please bear with me."

That being said, he showed no intention of taking the wine glass. Mr. Sun's eyes flashed. Women who can't hold their liquor are often the easiest to control.

Unfortunately, things don't seem to develop as they wish.

After drinking almost a bottle of wine, Xia Yiqing's eyes were still clear, and she could even explain some project details clearly and understandably when Mr. Sun asked about them.

Looking at the calm woman in front of him who was not at all panicked, Mr. Sun felt a little strange in his heart.

She doesn't look like a pampered young lady, but rather a free rose growing in the wild.

As the alcohol took effect, the more he looked at the woman in front of him, the more beautiful she seemed. Mr. Sun couldn't help but mutter his inner thoughts, "Manager Xia, you're not young anymore, are you? Are you looking for a boyfriend?"

Even though he was drunk and stammering, Xia Lie still took over the conversation.

"Mr. Sun, my cousin is already married."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere at the table became somewhat strange. Xia Yiqing nodded, "I heard that Mr. Sun has a family, with a pair of lovely children. As your potential partner, I would like to wish them good health and academic success."

As she spoke, Xia Yiqing raised her glass and bowed slightly in the direction of Mr. Sun. "I'll drink first, you can drink as you please."

What an interesting girl! Mr. Sun clapped his hands and laughed. Anyway, the next cooperation was a done deal, so it didn’t matter who he signed the contract with.

Once he was in a good mood, he waved his hand and said he wanted to sign the contract on the spot.

Xia Yiqing was still relatively calm, but Xia Lie's eyes were almost popping out.

Are you kidding me? This old man is usually the most difficult to deal with. He was prepared for a long battle, thinking that at worst he would just have to pay a few more times. He didn't expect that today, this matter would actually be successful.

"Why, President Xia, you're standing there in a daze. Does that mean you don't want to sign the contract?"

Xia Yiqing reached into her bag and took out the documents she had prepared in advance. She smiled at Mr. Sun before Xia Lie did, "Mr. Sun, my cousin didn't mean that. He was just too unhappy at the moment and didn't react. Please don't blame me."

Xia Lie always felt that something was strange, but Xia Yiqing was too calm, and he couldn't find any trace of irony, so he had to give up.

While signing and reviewing the terms, the lawyer next to Mr. Sun was looking at the documents, and Mr. Sun's eyes were still lingering on Xia Yiqing.

Even though she didn't want to answer, Xia Yiqing still smiled at him out of politeness, "Mr. Sun, do you have anything else to say?"

Xia Yiqing looked fine, but in fact she was dizzy and her temples were throbbing. The secret to her staying awake was just pinching her palms hard.

It had been a long time since she had practiced her alcohol tolerance. Xia Yiqing couldn't help but laugh at herself. She used to be able to drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, but now even this small amount of beer made her feel a little breathless.

But you must not feel dizzy or vomit now, you must keep your momentum down. After all, success or failure is almost decided. If you fall into a disadvantage now, the chance to sign the contract may slip away.

"What's wrong, Mr. Sun?" Xia Yiqing barely resisted the urge to reach out and hold her sun xue, and put on a calm smile.

"If you're not satisfied with this plan, or if any of it needs to be modified, you can tell me."

"Hey, Manager Xia, I think you're a generous person, you can drink, and you get along well with me. How about we be friends?"

As he spoke, Mr. Sun took out his business card from his pocket, stepped forward, and blocked her way with his fat body.

When the business card was handed over, Xia Yiqing felt calm in her heart. It was just like that. In the workplace, some things are unavoidable, just like drinking.

It has been deeply rooted in people's minds and has formed a kind of unwritten agreement. Even if a good-looking girl has strong business skills, it is still difficult for those with lower quality to not be biased.

"Sorry," Xia Yiqing didn't take the business card that was between her and Mr. Sun. She just reached out, picked up the document, and put it back in her bag.

"Mr. Sun has so many things to do every day. I'm just a small manager under him. If we have business dealings on weekdays, we can contact him through his assistant."

"Hey, don't be so harsh. Are you and the Xia family the only ones I can cooperate with? If so, I'll find someone else to cooperate with. The document you and I just signed can be invalidated."

"Mr. Sun, do you want to cancel the contract?"

Looking at Xia Yiqing's calm eyes, Mr. Sun felt a little scared, but he still stiffened his neck and said, "It all depends on what Manager Xia says. If we can be friends, the contract will remain valid."

"Oh, if you want to cancel, you can exercise your right of cancellation," Xia Yiqing stood up, her slender and shiny fingers resting on the table, her almond eyes rippled with layers of water waves,

"But notifying me that this party is invalid. You can sue the court or apply to an arbitration institution, but unfortunately, what is your case?"

"What's the matter? Is this thing useful or not? Isn't it just a matter of my words?"

Xia Yiqing blinked, reached out to tuck her hair behind her ears, tilted her head, and looked at Mr. Sun with pity.

She snorted softly, "As far as I know, I didn't use any coercion or deception when talking to you just now, and you fully understand the contract.

"There was no major misunderstanding, and the contract was not obviously unfair. So why do you think this contract can still be rescinded?"

"What are you talking about? Is there any misunderstanding? Isn't it me who has the final say?"

"Learn some skills, Mr. Sun," Xia Yiqing felt dizzy. The movement of standing up looked easy, but it actually consumed a lot of her strength. Now her legs were shaking without a trace.

"I've recorded everything we just said. If you really want to cancel it, we'll see you in court or at the arbitration institution."

"You...you little girl, if you act like this, no one will want to do business with you!"

Xia Lie also tried to act as a mediator, "Xiao Xia, how can you talk to Mr. Sun like that? Say a few soft words and make friends. Then the cooperation will be done, right?"

The two men were drunk, and their mouths were filled with the smell of alcohol and bad breath.

They were taller than Xia Yiqing, but at this moment they looked so small, short, fat and ugly.

Like these two people who were already in the quagmire, they found that there was someone who was willing not to fall with them, so they reached out their hands from the mud, pulled her clothes with their sinful fingers, and made her sink with them.

Finding that Xia Yiqing was completely unruly, the two men stood up and staggered to block her way out.

His hands were waving in the air without any order. If Xia Yiqing hadn't dodged quickly, the fat palm would have hit her.

Unable to bear it any longer, Xia Yiqing suddenly stretched out her hand, snapped it, grabbed Xia Yiqing's wrist, and squeezed it with all her strength until Xia Lie finally loosened his grip and let out a scream of "Ahhhh".

Quanshanju, outside the box where Xia Yiqing is.

The manager lowered his head, not daring to look at the expression of their third master next to him.

Although he was considered to be quite good at observing people's expressions, he didn't know where the Third Master's anger came from. The Third Master was too calm and most of the time he didn't show any emotion until the moment he got angry, which made people feel the fear from the bottom of their hearts.

"Third, Third Master..." The manager couldn't help but get his tongue tied.

Qi Hanmu, who was standing next to him, didn't say a word from beginning to end. He just raised his eyes coldly. His cold and thin phoenix eyes looked through the crack in the door and saw two men surrounding Xia Yiqing.

Maybe for her, being around men can help her career. Is this what she wants?

Just as the manager was sweating and preparing to check the master's face, he heard the sound of handmade leather shoes slowly rising. Looking again, he saw the man's figure moving, walking slowly in the darkness, heading towards the box upstairs.

The private room upstairs.

Qi Hanying's heart was pounding. He didn't know when his brother would come back and how long he would have to wait. These people were not someone he could deal with.

The door opened silently, and Mr. Qi Sanye's stern face emerged from behind the door. He walked to the table and poured himself a glass of wine.

In front of everyone, he held his stomach, which was aching, and swallowed the glass of wine.
