When Zhuang Wen noticed Tang Xin.
Tang Xin had already seen Zhuang Wen, dressed in a suit and tie, the moment she entered the room, and her eyes never left him during the introduction.
However, the love or infatuation that had been there before was gone from her eyes; only complexity and embarrassment remained.
Right now, she doesn't want to face Zhuang Wen.
So when Zhuang Wen looked at her, she looked away.
“This is my secretary, Zhuang Wen.”
Lu Ruxue turned her head and introduced Zhuang Wen.
The old man and Zhuang Wen nodded with smiles, while Tang Bingrou merely glanced at him without saying anything.
"These are my colleagues from the sales department; they're in charge of this collaboration..."
Lu Ruxue gave a brief introduction to the head of the sales department and others.
After both sides finished their introductions...
"Please take a seat."
Lu Ruxue said to the old man.
The group sat down at the table.
"Serve the food."
Tang Bingrou said calmly to the waiter beside her.
Soon, one exquisite dish after another was served on the table.
The atmosphere inside the private room gradually heated up.
At the dinner table.
"With so much delicious food, how can we not have some drinks?"
Looking at the table full of delicious food, the old man laughed heartily.
"dad."
Tang Bingrou said to the old man beside her.
"I just had a little drink, it's nothing."
The old man looked at Lu Ruxue and said, "Ruxue, you can talk to Bingrou about the cooperation later. I'll have a drink with Xiaozhuang and the others."
"Xiao Zhuang, can you drink?"
The old man looked at Zhuang Wen and said with a smile, "As a leader's secretary, it's unacceptable for you not to drink."
Zhuang Wen looked at Lu Ruxue with a wry smile.
Lu Ruxue said calmly, "He can drink, but not much. Uncle Tang, you can't get him drunk."
Upon hearing this, Zhuang Wen agreed.
He thought that with the sales manager and others taking the lead, he could remain a nobody and go unnoticed.
Even if she attracts attention, Lu Ruxue can still say a few words in her defense.
But to everyone's surprise, Lu Ruxue readily agreed.
He looked at Lu Ruxue with a "resentful" expression.
At the same time, Lu Ruxue met her gaze with gentle eyes.
"Haha, no problem."
The old man laughed heartily twice.
He asked the waiter to bring a case of Moutai, opened it, and poured a glass for Zhuang Wen and the sales manager, among others.
Lu Ruxue, Tang Bingrou, and other women were all drinking fruit juice.
"Come on, let's toast to the successful completion of this collaboration."
He raised a glass of Moutai and downed it in one gulp.
The sales manager and others, including Zhuang Wen, also drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing Zhuang Wen's distressed expression with his brows furrowed, Lu Ruxue's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
She regretted it a little.
That's right.
She agreed to the old man's request on Zhuang Wen's behalf because she had her own selfish motives.
She wanted to visit Zhuang Wen's house.
However, she was too proud to go with Zhuang Wen while she was sober, since they were only in a contractual relationship and she had no reason to go.
But if Zhuang Wen gets drunk, she will naturally have to take on this responsibility. At that time, she can use the excuse of taking Zhuang Wen home to visit his house.
But when she saw Zhuang Wen in distress, she couldn't bear to do it.
She wanted to stop Zhuang Wen from continuing, but the old man seemed to have made up his mind about Zhuang Wen and insisted on pulling him along.
"If you can't drink it, that's fine. I'll tell him."
Lu Ruxue lowered her eyes slightly and spoke in a soft voice.
Zhuang Wen, standing to the side, maintained his smile and whispered, "It's alright. I can tell this old man is trying to get me drunk. You should hurry up and talk to them about the cooperation. Hopefully, you can finish it before I get drunk, so I won't suffer."
"you……"
Lu Ruxue hesitated.
This collaboration is important to both parties, so it is destined to be a lengthy negotiation.
She was afraid that Zhuang Wen wouldn't be able to hold on and would end it himself.
Zhuang Wen seemed to see through her thoughts, smiled slightly, and said calmly, "You know my alcohol tolerance. At worst, if I get drunk, I'll trouble you to take me home. I trust you unconditionally."
Looking at Zhuang Wen's resolute profile, Lu Ruxue was stunned for a moment, her eyes shimmering with a strange light.
No one could guess what she was thinking at that moment.
This scene was witnessed by Tang Xin, who was secretly watching all along, and her eyes dimmed.
For some reason, she felt a little envious.
Although it knew that Lu Ruxue and Zhuang Wen were impossible, after all, one was the president of the Lu Group and the other was her secretary, the difference in their status was as vast as heaven and earth.
But seeing them being so close right now also made her incredibly envious.
She longed to be able to chat with Zhuang Wen like Lu Ruxue.
"Ru Xue is a good leader who cares about her subordinates. Bing Rou, you should learn from her. You can't always have a stern face towards others."
The old man saw Lu Ruxue and Zhuang Wen whispering to each other. Although he couldn't hear clearly, he could see how they were talking. He immediately turned to Tang Bingrou, who had a cold expression, and said...
"Drink your bar."
Tang Bingrou showed no mercy to her father, directly blocking his way.
The old man chuckled, not angry at all, and continued to serve drinks to the others.
Upon hearing the old man's words, a blush appeared on Lu Ruxue's fair face.
She tucked her hair back to ease her shyness, but didn't refute or explain, which made Tang Bingrou's eyes look strange as she glanced at Zhuang Wen.
Zhuang Wen, thick-skinned as ever, simply smiled and joined the old man's group of people drinking with him once again.
