"Chen...brother...your wine...I'm impressed! Next time you come to Quancheng...you must...you must call me...I'll take you to...the best...the best bar in Quancheng...to pick up girls!"
A bald man with a big gold chain and a face full of flesh put his arm around Chen Yan's shoulders and spoke in a babbling voice.
In addition to the bald man, there were several other men nearby who were also swaying from side to side. It looked like they were struggling to even maintain a standing posture.
Among these people, only one man was completely sober and there was no smell of alcohol on him. It was obvious that he was responsible for driving.
Fortunately, a group of people came to the hotel's parking lot at this time. If they were blocked at the hotel's entrance, it would probably cause congestion in the hotel's entrance and exit.
"Don't worry, bro. Next time I come, I'll definitely have a good drink with you! But forget about picking up girls. Why would we need women when we're just drinking with brothers? Women will only slow us down!"
Chen Yan said with a smile.
Hearing the words 'drinking speed', the bald man seemed to have some stress reaction, a trace of panic appeared on his face, and he said, "That... makes sense... Bro, I... I can't do it anymore... I have to go back... to get some sleep... Bro... Excuse me... "
After saying that, the bald man and Chen Yan shook hands vigorously, and then with the help of the man who was responsible for driving, he barely got into the car.
These people came in a seven-seater business car, so one car could accommodate them all.
Watching the men's car leave, Xu Shaoli, who was standing next to him, was also obviously drunk. He burped and staggered, saying, "Boss Chu, Manager Chen, I...I can't take it anymore. I have to go back quickly...to rest. There's one last fierce battle left tomorrow at noon...I have to finish it perfectly!
Tonight... Thank you so much, Director Chen... If Director Chen hadn't toasted me twice... I would have definitely been lying down tonight... I won't say anything more... Everyone who knows me, Xu Shaoli, knows what kind of person I am... Director Chen, from now on, just look at me... just look at my performance!"
After saying that, Xu Shaoli, with the help of his accompanying assistant, also got into the car.
Suddenly, only Chen Yan and Chu Yinyin were left in the room.
As for the old driver who was in charge of driving, he had already run to start the car.
"Your alcohol tolerance is truly terrifying. Are you truly alright tonight? I think you've drunk at least five kilograms, right?"
Chu Yinyin asked with some concern.
Chen Yan stretched and said with a relaxed look, "This group of people tonight is different from the previous ones. Especially Mr. Zhou Jinbiao with the big gold chain. Although they are both Brother Biao, Mr. Zhou is obviously different from the most ruthless person in Liaobei. He is a real person who has both black and white interests.
He was definitely in business to make money, but not entirely for the sake of it. People like him often valued face over money. He Shengda's relationship with him was manageable. If he hadn't drunk him down over the wine table and given him enough face, he would have definitely caused trouble in future business dealings.
The previous waves of agents were all true businessmen. Businessmen value harmony and wealth, and since we don't have any competitive relationship, it's not difficult to communicate emotionally, but this Brother Biao is different. Plus, Quancheng's status is special, so naturally he has to drink a little more. Don't worry, I'm fine."
As he was speaking, the old master drove his car and stopped beside the two of them.
Chu Yinyin took the initiative to open the back door for Chen Yan, motioning Chen Yan to get in first, and then followed her into the back seat.
The hotel they booked was not far from the restaurant. Chen Yan benefited from Chu Yinyin's help, so the accommodation standard for this business trip was extremely high, five-star throughout.
"This trip is really thanks to you. I think Xu Shaoli can't hold on any longer. There's only one meal left, tomorrow at noon, and he's still relying on his spirit to hold on. If he has a few more meals, Xu Shaoli will definitely collapse. Your alcohol tolerance is really amazing. Not only do you drink a lot at each meal, but you recover so quickly too. I really don't know what kind of body you have."
Chu Yinyin was a little emotional. While speaking, she took out a bottle of water from the car refrigerator and handed it to Chen Yan.
Then he continued, "Anyway, you performed very well. Now all that's left is the last meal tomorrow at noon. We will depart from Quancheng in the morning and return to Yizhou in the morning. After having a drink in Yizhou at noon, we can return to Qindao in the afternoon.
This trip took us all around Shandong Province, and we visited all the most important agents there, strengthening our relationships. "The rest of the story depends on Xu Shaoli's ability, but I'm sure he can do a good job."
Chen Yan unscrewed the bottle cap, tilted his head back and drank the entire bottle of water in one gulp.
He exhaled comfortably and said contentedly, "I'm glad I could help you. Helping others is always a thankless task. I put in a lot of effort, but the results are not satisfactory. I'm exhausted as a grandson, and still can't get people to remember my kindness. That's a real loss."
Chu Yinyin smiled and teased, "Why? You came to help me just to make me remember your favor? I thought our relationship could be simpler, like true friends always helping each other without asking for anything in return."
If it were four days ago, she would definitely not chat with Chen Yan in such a tone.
But during these four days of business trip, except for not sleeping in the same room at night, they basically stayed together all the time, which basically eliminated the sense of strangeness she had towards Chen Yan.
In addition, when Chen Yan was with her, he was not like other opposite sexes, like a peacock with its tail spread out, wanting to perform some stupid show at every moment.
So Chu Yinyin had a very good impression of Chen Yan.
"Tsk, I'm afraid of you. It's really hard for a man and a woman to become true friends."
"Oh, how hard is it?"
"It's hard to say. The difficulty is often inversely proportional to appearance. Whether it's a man or a woman, the uglier they are, the greater the chance of true friendship between them. The more beautiful they are, the lower the chance of true friendship between them."
Upon hearing this, Chu Yinyin raised her eyebrows very charmingly and said with interest, "From what you said, both men and women are very superficial?"
Chen Yan shrugged and said, "I can't say it's 100 percent. After all, there are always some people who have transcended vulgar tastes. I can only say it's 99 percent. Humans are visual creatures, and our worldview is influenced by our senses. It's almost human instinct."
Chu Yinyin blinked and suddenly said, "That's it. I know I'm pretty, and you're not ugly either. It seems like we're destined not to be friends."
