Chapter 313 Extra 2: Time to go home, little drunkard (Mo Xin)
After she finished speaking, several CEOs looked at her in unison, their eyes filled with curiosity, inquiry and scrutiny.
Mr. Zhang's smile froze on his face, and he quietly nudged Su Xin with his elbow.
Su Xin reacted quickly, lowered her head, and smiled awkwardly at everyone: "Yes... I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
It was just a small incident, no one cared.
But Su Xin felt that a burning gaze was always piercing through her.
She stood there, not knowing where to go.
She secretly glanced at Mr. Zhang. He had already sat down in the empty seat next to Xing Mo, but she didn't dare to sit down.
She still understood the rules of the workplace, so she quickly moved to the side, folded her hands in front of her, and stood behind Mr. Zhang with her head held high.
After a while, the sound of knuckles clicking was heard on the table. Su Xin heard the sound and met Xing Mo's eyes again.
"Standing there as a bodyguard? Come here."
"?"
Su Xin didn't move, but Mr. Zhang immediately pushed her: "Just go over if Mr. Xing tells you to. Hurry, don't just stand there."
Su Xin cursed in her heart and moved reluctantly to his side.
Before he even reached the table, another fat boss sitting next to Xing Mo sensed something unusual.
He stood up, rubbed his arms, and said with a smile, "This seat faces the central air-conditioning vents, and it makes my arms cold. I'll sit somewhere else. Miss, come sit here with me. It's closer to Mr. Xing, so it's easier to communicate."
After saying that, he turned to look at Xing Mo, and said with a hint of teasing, "Mr. Xing, you don't mind, do you?"
Xing Mo raised his eyelids and acquiesced.
Su Xin just sat next to him.
Alas, the days are long.
Next, they started talking about work. Xing Mo didn't talk much, but he always spoke at the critical moment, either accurately pointing out the core needs of the work, or lightly resolving cooperation concerns.
Su Xin originally tried to stay focused and listen attentively, hoping to learn more, but as she listened, her eyelids began to droop.
Their words were like a lullaby, making her mind empty out involuntarily, and her gaze drifted to Xing Mo for some unknown reason.
At this time, Xing Mo was chatting with Mr. Li who was sitting opposite him about the company's supply chain planning. His fingertips occasionally tapped on the table. The rhythm was not fast, but it was full of oppressive certainty.
Even the way he raised his hand to pick up the cup was sharp, and the watch exposed from his cuff flashed a cold light under the light, which matched his serious look at the moment.
I have to say, there's still something charming about squinting eyes when working...
She stared at Xing Mo's profile in a trance and didn't even notice when he stopped talking.
It was not until Xing Mo suddenly turned his head and his eyes met hers that she gathered her thoughts and looked away.
Then he picked up the bottle of wine on the table, stood up and offered his courtesy to Xing Mo's glass: "Mr. Xing, the wine is almost gone, let me fill it up for you."
Xing Mo held the bottom of the glass with his slender fingers, and waited until she finished pouring the wine before whispering, "It looks good?"
“…”
Perhaps because there were too many people present, Xing Mo stopped teasing her and turned back to the bosses and continued talking about work.
…
Two hours later, the dinner ended.
The bosses left one after another with the smell of alcohol mixed with polite words. Mr. Zhang rubbed his swollen temples, but his eyes involuntarily fell on Su Xin who was lying on the dining table.
I only drank three glasses of strong liquor, how come I'm drunk...
His heart skipped a beat and he quickly turned around to follow Xing Mo's instructions.
Xing Mo was standing by the window, a cigarette between his fingers.
He drank quite a bit tonight, but he didn't look drunk at all. There was just a hint of tiredness in his eyes, and no emotion could be seen.
Mr. Zhang walked over with a thoughtful thought: "Mr. Xing, I'm so sorry! This Xiao Su... I really didn't know that Xiao Su had such a low alcohol tolerance. Um... I'll call a taxi for her right now. It's up to you... Should I take her home, or should you go here..."
Before he finished speaking, Xing Mo put out his cigarette and looked up at him with a cold look in his eyes: "I'll take you there."
Mr. Zhang immediately understood and smiled, "Okay! Mr. Xing, thank you for your concern. Then... I'll be leaving first?"
"Wait." Xing Mo suddenly called him.
Mr. Zhang stopped where he was and said, "Mr. Xing, do you have any other instructions?"
"Don't let her attend such drinking parties in the future." Xing Mo said firmly, "If you want to help her learn things and familiarize herself with the business, that's fine, but you can't let her drink too much, and you can't let her toast."
Mr. Zhang felt a chill down his spine and nodded quickly, "I understand, Mr. Xing. Don't worry, I won't do it again."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but explain, "I noticed that you and Xiao Su usually have a good relationship... so I wanted to let her come over and spend more time with you. I didn't expect her to be so drunk..."
Xing Mo didn't respond and gave him a cold look.
Mr. Zhang didn't dare to say another word. He quickly bowed and said goodbye, turned around and quickly left the box, for fear of offending Xing Mo again.
The door of the box was closed, and the noise was completely isolated outside, leaving only Xing Mo and the sleeping Su Xin.
Xing Mo walked to Su Xin, pulled a chair and sat down, his eyes falling on her face.
I saw her sleeping soundly with her face lying on her arm. Her chubby cheeks were squeezed by her arm, like a bulging bun. Her skin was flushed from drinking, and even the tips of her ears and nose were red.
Haha, it’s quite cute.
He stared at her for a long while, frowning slightly, and slowly scolded her: "You can't drink much, but you still offer a toast, idiot, how can you be so capable!"
After saying that, he reached out and patted her forehead: "Wake up, it's time to go home."
Su Xin didn't react, but just buried her face in her arms, like a kitten that didn't want to wake up.
"Don't sleep." Xing Mo came closer and couldn't help but tap her nose: "It's time to go home, little drunkard."
Still no movement.
He sighed, raised his hand to take off his suit jacket and put it on her.
It was still very cold on an April night, and she was wearing a thin business suit, so it would be strange if she didn't get cold.
Then, Xing Mo hesitated for a moment, but still bent down and picked her up sideways.
Her body was light and effortless.
She seemed to be startled, moaned, and subconsciously rubbed her head into his arms. She found a comfortable position and continued to sleep.
Xing Mo's body stiffened for a moment, and his heart beat restlessly.
He could feel the heat of her cheek through his shirt. He slid his throat dryly, then carried her out of the box.
Xiang Ze just drove up to the hotel entrance.
He got out of the car and saw Xing Mo holding Su Xin. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but grin, squeezing out a bright uncle smile: "Second Master, you finally got it!"
"Get your drift?" Xing Mo glanced at him coldly, "If you don't open the car door, I'll make your head explode."
Xiang Ze hurried over and opened the back door, not forgetting to extend his hand to protect the upper edge of the door: "Second Master, it's not convenient for you to hold someone, so be careful with your head."
Xing Mo put Su Xin in the back seat of the car, helped her adjust her position so that she could lean more comfortably, and pulled the suit jacket covering her to cover her exposed arms.
After finishing, he stood up and turned to look at Xiang Ze, who was grinning like a fool. His eyes were stern. "Why are you standing there? Drive her back."
"Second Master, where exactly does Miss Su live? You know the neighborhood, but you don't know the floor. How can we send her there?"
Xing Mo frowned, he really didn't know.
Xiang Ze pursed his lips and gave him advice with ill intentions.
"Second Master, how about...letting Miss Su Xin stay at your place for one night? After all, you're a gentleman, and you wouldn't do anything to her, right?"
Xing Mo didn't respond, but opened the car door and got in.
After a moment, he rolled down the window and said, "Drive!"
"Second Master, where are you going?"
"My home."
