The key point is that he dared not and could not put on airs at the old principal's place; he could only drink.
The old principal was a heavy drinker; he drank without restraint.
It was only because Shen Jichuan was there that Wang Yuezhi started scolding him and forbidding him from drinking.
Zhao Minghan also drank quite a bit of alcohol, and the three of them were flushed and red-faced.
After finishing her meal in the kitchen, Wen Qiao washed the pots and pans, tidied up the kitchen, and then sorted out the trash and put it by the door.
Looking at the diligent Wen Qiao, Wang Yuezhi quickly said, "Xiao Qiao, sit down and rest for a while."
Wen Qiao smiled and said, "I'm not tired, Auntie."
Wang Yuzhi then seemed to remember something and said, "Xiao Qiao, why don't you take Lili to school later? They've all drunk too much, and Minghan can't take the child to school."
Wen Qiao nodded and said, "Okay."
It's normal for Wen Qiao to work as a nanny and take care of children. She doesn't mind doing these things, and besides, she has a good relationship with Zhao Lili.
Taking the kids to school isn't tiring at all.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Minghan looked up at her mother and said, "Mom, I didn't drink that much, I'm fine."
"Jichuan, if you can't drink, then don't drink."
As Zhao Minghan spoke, he gave a few words of advice.
Shen Jichuan was someone he had invited to dinner on short notice, and he hadn't brought Shen Jichuan's driver along.
Shen Jichuan never expected to be drinking at the old principal's house.
The key point is that the old principal later took a bottle of wine that was extremely potent.
"Old headmaster, what kind of wine is this? It makes me feel unwell, my stomach is burning. It's not as good as our wine."
The old principal chuckled and said, "This was a gift from someone, who said it was some good wine, a foreign wine."
It's imported liquor, not red wine, and it's quite strong.
The key is that once you get going, you're incredibly energetic.
He started by drinking baijiu (Chinese liquor), then switched to imported spirits; the old principal really spared no expense.
The old headmaster said, "You're complaining now? If it were anyone else, I wouldn't even give him a drink. What are you afraid of? If you get drunk, just sleep here."
Shen Jichuan smiled helplessly.
He was helpless against the old principal, this eccentric old man.
Just then, Zhao Lili called Wen Qiao over to eat grapes.
After Wang Yuezhi and Zhao Lili finished their meal, they went to the coffee table in the living room to eat fruit and watch TV, and then invited Wen Qiao over.
Wen Qiao walked towards them and met Shen Jichuan's light smile.
She quickly looked away.
Shen Jichuan was momentarily stunned, but then picked up his wine glass and drank again.
After a few rounds of drinks, the old principal, having drunk too much, was helped back to his room to sleep by Wang Yuezhi and Wen Qiao.
The old principal has this one good quality: he falls asleep when he's drunk and never goes on a drunken rampage.
Shen Jichuan and Zhao Minghan were talking in the living room.
When Wen Qiao returned from dropping Zhao Lili off at school, she saw that Shen Jichuan was still there.
Zhao Minghan was so drunk that her legs were weak and she could barely stand, so she couldn't possibly see Shen Jichuan off.
"Old Zhao, don't bother seeing me off, I can walk by myself."
"You've had quite a bit to drink too. I'm worried about you walking alone."
"I...I'll have Xiao Qiao take you."
Wen Qiao, who was cleaning up the leftover food on the table, paused for a moment.
She didn't say anything.
Zhao Minghan called out, "Xiao Qiao, could you see my old comrade off? Make sure he gets home safely."
"Don't worry, my old comrade has a son who's older than you. He won't do anything to you."
Zhao Minghan was afraid of Wen Qiao, a young girl, but she was also afraid of Shen Jichuan, a rough and uncultured man.
Shen Jichuan was a rigid, aloof, and expressionless man.
Not to mention that young girls wouldn't like him, even the soldiers Shen Jichuan had previously trained both respected and feared him.
Wen Qiao was aware that Shen Jichuan disliked her.
Therefore, she wasn't worried at all that Shen Jichuan would do anything outrageous to her.
Zhao Minghan also specifically said that Wen Qiao should treat Shen Jichuan as an elder.
Since Zhao Minghan had already said that, Wen Qiao didn't refuse and immediately agreed to Zhao Minghan's request to send Shen Jichuan back.
To be honest, a leader like Shen Jichuan, no matter where he is drinking, can simply make a phone call and someone will drive him home with utmost respect.
Wen Qiao couldn't understand why Shen Jichuan, even though he was drunk, wouldn't allow Zhao Minghan to arrange for someone to pick him up.
Why must we make her, the nanny, deliver it?
Wen Qiao couldn't understand it.
