??Chapter 340: Rectifying the drinking culture?

Originally, they stood up to smooth things over for Meng Chuyuan, thinking that since tea couldn't be drunk, then they could switch to juice. But they heard Meng Chuyuan say boiled water!

“…” This time, no one could respond.

Lu Qingye tilted his head to look at Meng Chuyuan, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he frowned slightly, as if he couldn't believe the answer he just heard. He asked doubtfully: "Boiled water?"

He seemed to be conveying a message to Meng Chuyuan with his eyes: Are you sure?

Meng Chuyuan and Lu Qingye exchanged a glance. She didn't shy away from the others and spoke to everyone in a normal voice: "Is there any problem?"

Lu Qingye: "..."

Of course he had no problem with it, he was just worried that doing so would cause dissatisfaction among those present.

There was another waiter serving food in the room. Noticing that the guests had fallen silent, he subconsciously put the food in his hands down gently, not daring to make any noise.

Jiang Yi noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so he smiled and said hurriedly, "Boiled water is good...it warms your body, your stomach, and your heart!"

"Well, boiled water is good." Lu Quanyu observed silently for a long time before finally speaking. He gave Director Xia a look and said, "Old Xia."

Since Lu Quanyu has spoken, they have no choice but to give him this favor.

Director Xia's face darkened. He waved his hand and looked up at the waiter: "Take away the wine and replace it with boiled water."

The waitress seemed to be still immersed in the previous scene and did not react in time. When she heard the wine was removed, she came to her senses, "...Okay, wait a moment."

The two waiters left the box one after the other and couldn't help but discuss quietly in the corridor:

"This is the first time I've seen a CEO agree to replace wine with water when he's out socializing..."

Another waiter said, "You're kidding...that's Meng Chuyuan!" Only Meng Chuyuan would dare to suggest replacing the wine with boiled water.

"She's so brave. Not only did she refuse to drink in front of so many people, she even persuaded others to drink. I'm almost obsessed with her."

"Isn't Sister Meng here to clean up the drinking culture?"

…

In the box, after the awkward situation was resolved, peace finally returned.

"What a pity for these side dishes." After the wine was taken out by the waiter, Director Xia was in a bad mood. He picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth.

"It's good to drink less." Director Ying was quite open-minded and even comforted Director Xia optimistically: "In theory, we should thank the young lady. This meal has saved us a lot of money."

Director Xia snorted coldly and said with some dissatisfaction: "Would I be short of that little money?"

Meng Chuyuan didn't let his dissatisfaction affect her mood. "Uncle Xia, I'm just thinking about your health."

After hitting a wall with Meng Chuyuan, Director Xia stopped talking to her.

Since some dishes had not yet been served, no one was eating much and was mostly chatting. Mr. Ying felt a little bored and wanted to smoke a cigarette to relieve his boredom.

Director Ying: "Old Xia, can I borrow a light?"

Director Xia placed the lighter in front of him on the rotating disc, and it soon came into Director Ying's hands.

Director Ying reached out to pick up the lighter on the table and was about to light it when Meng Chuyuan stopped him: "Uncle Ying, we are still indoors, why don't you smoke less?"

Director Ying stared at the ashtray in front of him and tapped the table lightly with his hand, trying to attract Meng Chuyuan's attention. When she looked over, he said, "It's not a smoking ban."

"But Uncle Ying, I'm still here." Meng Chuyuan said politely with a smile on his face: "I don't breathe secondhand smoke."
