"Oh my god, that scared me to death."
Wen Qiao chuckled, "It's alright, Director Zhao is very nice. He won't make things difficult for you. At most, he'll give you a little more work."
Zhou Jia immediately said with a bitter face, "It would be better to just scold me directly."
After Wen Qiao and Zhou Jia went in, they greeted everyone. As they were from the Information Department, they only needed to sit down with their leader, Zhao Qingzhou, and didn't need to say anything else. They could just give a brief answer when asked.
Wen Qiao was never good at this kind of social drinking.
Zhou Jia is also socially awkward.
Yao Meng seemed very lively. Sun Yuanyuan's eyes never left Zhao Qingzhou after she saw him, especially when she saw that Wen Qiao was sitting next to Zhao Qingzhou.
There was an empty seat on either side of Wen Qiao and Zhou Jia, but Zhao Qingzhou, after finishing his speech, sat down directly on Wen Qiao's side.
He was deliberately avoiding sitting next to Sun Yuanyuan.
Because sitting to Zhou Jia's side were Sun Yuanyuan, Yao Meng, and Director Su.
Sun Yuanyuan and Director Su seem to have a good relationship; she always calls him Uncle Su.
"Uncle Sun, as I told you, I have a cousin who also works at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, her name is Yao Meng. You can make good use of her from now on."
Yao Meng followed up on Sun Yuanyuan's words with a smile and said, "Yes, Uncle Su, I would appreciate your guidance in my work in the future."
Director Su was the highest-ranking and oldest person at the table, so the menu was served to him first. However, Director Su treated Zhao Qingzhou quite well; after taking the menu, he smiled and said to Zhao Qingzhou:
"Director Zhao, the successful conclusion of this event is all thanks to your colleagues in the Information Department. Here, as the leader, please order a few dishes."
Zhao Qingzhou, however, was not polite and declined as well.
He chuckled lightly and said politely, "Thank you, Director Su."
"It's getting late. Let's order a few simple home-style dishes, eat, and then go home to rest."
Zhao Qingzhou quickly selected a few. He has an excellent memory and had traveled on business trips with Wen Qiao and Zhou Jia. Naturally, he has a slight preference for his colleagues.
We ordered several light and sweet dishes, which are the kind of food the women like.
So I gave the menu to my other colleagues.
At this dinner table, besides Director Su, the highest-ranking person was Zhao Qingzhou, the head of the Information Department.
After everyone quickly and simply chose two dishes,
When it was Sun Yuanyuan's turn, she specially chose a spicy fish dish and looked at Zhao Qingzhou with a smile.
"Brother Zhao, I heard from your aunt that you like spicy fish head the most. I see no one has ordered it, so I'll order it for you."
Zhao Qingzhou said calmly, "I've been eating lighter flavors lately."
Anyone with eyes could see that Zhao Qingzhou was politely declining Sun Yuanyuan's offer, and Sun Yuanyuan's face immediately fell, but she still told the waiter to add a spicy fish head.
Soon all the dishes were served, and after another round of greetings, everyone began to eat.
Wen Qiao and Zhou Jia ate quietly, only thinking about leaving as soon as they were full.
Unexpectedly, some leaders arrived at the next table. Director Su went out for a while, and when he came back, he took the initiative to ask the waiter for wine and went to the next table.
Zhao Qingzhou also got up.
He whispered to Wen Qiao and Zhou Jia, "You two can eat here. You don't need to go anywhere. You women don't need to do any socializing."
Zhao Qingzhou, as a leader, is very protective of his reputation.
Wen Qiao and Zhou Jia are both his subordinates, so he will naturally protect them.
Wang Xin and Sun Zhiyu also went out. After all, Director Su had already gone over, and as men, they had to go along to see what was going on and make an impression so that it would be easier to talk things over and get things done in the future.
