Chapter 180 Trying to play tricks on me? You're still too green...
Zhou Yuanming raised his hand to rub his dizzy head, forcing himself to wake up. When he saw that Nan Xia had finally arrived, he cursed under his breath.
This woman is really shrewd; she arrived so late!
"Go and get Nanxia drunk..." he said in a slightly softer voice.
"She probably won't bother with me, right?" Lin Yi scoffed in a low voice.
"Then use your brain."
Zhou Yuanming turned his head and glanced at Song Yanzhi, who was sitting not far away. He saw that Song Yanzhi was leaning on the sofa with his eyes slightly closed, and assumed that he and his employees had gotten him drunk.
Now all that's left is to take down Nanxia.
Lin Yi had no choice but to stand up, take her wine glass, and walk towards Nan Xia. "Nan Lu, let me toast you. I hope we can put aside our unpleasantness and get along well in the future."
Nan Xia glanced at her casually. Trying to force me to drink? Does she deserve it?
"Didn't you say in the work group that you would punish yourself by drinking three cups in front of me? Come on, finish your punishment drink first, then come and toast me."
As she spoke, she picked up the whiskey bottle and filled her glass.
Lin Yi frowned as she looked at the large glass of foreign liquor. Wouldn't she get drunk if she drank these three large glasses?
"Nan Lu, I'm not a big drinker. You poured me too much. Anyone who didn't know better would think you were deliberately bullying your subordinate," Lin Yi said with a forced smile.
"You're not sincerely apologizing, so why are you spouting this nonsense? Get lost." Nan Xia impatiently dismissed him.
Lin Yi's expression was somewhat unpleasant, conflicted—
Gu Xiaoxing couldn't help but look towards Nan Xia. Seeing how she spoke to her employees and deliberately made things difficult for them by making them drink so much, she felt displeased. She grabbed the arm of the man next to her and shook it, asking:
"Yanzhi, is your lawyer Nan always so sharp-tongued? It's one thing for her to pour so much wine for her colleagues, but her tone of voice is also so nasty. She's really quite annoying."
Upon hearing her words, Song Yanzhi slowly opened his eyes, his tone cold and devoid of any drunkenness: "You have no right to speak ill of people from my law firm. Be mindful of your status."
Gu Xiaoxing was taken aback when she heard his suddenly cold tone. Afraid of being disliked by him, she dared not say anything more.
Lin Yi hesitated for a moment, holding the wine glass, then gritted her teeth and, in order to get her drunk, drank the entire glass of wine.
"Two more drinks to go," Nan Xia said lazily, leaning back on the sofa and crossing her legs.
She picked up the wine bottle, intending to pour only half a glass, when Nanxia suddenly said, "Half a glass? I won't accept an apology."
Lin Yi raised her eyelids, glared at her, and could only fill the cup to the brim before drinking two more large glasses in succession.
This liquor has a high alcohol content and a strong aftereffect; I suddenly swayed, feeling a little unsteady on my feet.
Despite her dizziness, she picked up the bottle, grabbed a new glass, poured half a glass of wine, and handed it to Nanxia. Then, she deliberately let go first, causing the entire glass of wine to fall onto Nanxia's white tracksuit.
"I'm sorry, Nanlu, I didn't mean to. I had a bit too much to drink and didn't see clearly. I thought you caught the glass." She quickly apologized.
"Never mind... I'll wipe it myself." Nan Xia knew she was doing it on purpose, so she got up and left the private room.
After she left, Lin Yi immediately turned off the bright lights in the private room, plunging the entire room into darkness. She looked around at the people in the room and saw that no one was paying attention to her.
She glanced at Song Yanzhi again and saw that he was leaning against the back of the sofa, probably still asleep. She quickly took out the medicine powder from her pocket and secretly poured it into Nan Xia's cup.
Add more wine to her drink.
Song Yanzhi hadn't fallen asleep; he had witnessed Lin Yi's subtle actions.
When Nan Xia reached the door of the private room, she noticed the lights had suddenly dimmed. Knowing there was something wrong with her drink, she paused for a moment, then took out her phone and sent a message to her assistant. She then opened the door and called out to Lin Yi:
"Assistant Lin, come out here for a moment, I have something to ask you."
Lin Yi frowned. Did she want to ask me something privately? Did she discover that I had put medicine in her mouth earlier?
Suppressing his nervousness, he had no choice but to stand up from the sofa, walk to the door, and calmly ask her, "What do you want to ask Nanlu?"
"How old are you this year?" Nanxia asked her.
"...I'm 23, why is Nanlu asking me this?" she asked, puzzled. Was this woman bored out of her mind? Why would she ask her age for no reason?
"You're not young anymore, it's time to find a proper boyfriend. Stop trying to find a rich man to take shortcuts." Nan Xia scoffed and glanced at her, then looked into the private room.
"No, I really like Song Lu!" Lin Yi said in a deep voice.
"It's a pity you don't have a chance. He'd rather go on blind dates than give you a second glance." Nanxia patted her face and smiled.
Lin Yi waved her hand away unhappily and scoffed, "This is my business, Nan Lu doesn't need to worry about it."
After speaking in a deep voice, he turned and went back into the private room, picked up two glasses of wine, and handed her her glass:
“Nan Lu, consider this drink my apology. I hope you won’t hold it against me. I just want to work well at the law firm and don’t want to go against you.”
Nan Xia took the wine from her hand, glanced at it, and said, "You drink it first."
Lin Yi glanced at her, then readily downed the drink in her glass! She then deliberately tilted the glass upside down and looked at her—
Nanxia also drank the wine in her glass, and then said to her, "Your makeup is ruined, you look ugly."
She unconsciously touched her face; was her makeup really ruined?
Lin Yi put down the cup and went to the restroom.
Nan Xia turned to look at her, chuckled, took out two more cups, secretly put a packet of 'seasoning' in them, and then poured in some wine.
Gu Xiaoxing suddenly noticed her movement and was about to speak when Song Yanzhi suddenly said coldly, "Don't interfere."
She turned to the man beside her and said, "You saw it too? I never thought that lawyer Nan, who has the reputation of a famous lawyer, would do such dirty things behind the scenes."
She's definitely trying to harm her colleagues, why are you turning a blind eye?
"Perhaps I shouldn't have brought you here tonight. Miss Gu should be smarter. I hate stupid people." Song Yanzhi glanced at her with a deep look. Her repeated foolishness was making his impression of her worse and worse.
Knowing full well that he had seen it, and she hadn't said anything, why was she, an outsider who wasn't a law firm employee, trying to meddle?
This woman is really a bit stupid!
Upon hearing his words, Gu Xiaoxing frowned immediately and quickly hugged his arm to apologize.
"I'm sorry, Yanzhi. I was wrong. I shouldn't have interfered in your law firm's affairs. Please don't be angry. I'll pretend I didn't see anything!"
She was very curious why this man didn't expose Nan Xia.
Song Yanzhi glanced at her coldly and said nothing.
Diagonally opposite, Nan Xia picked up two glasses of wine, stood up, walked to Zhou Yuanming's side, and shook him awake from his deep sleep.
"Director Zhou, I haven't had a drink with you tonight. Shall I offer you a toast?"
Gu Xiaoxing stared at her, her eyes wide. That problematic glass of wine was for Director Zhou? This woman is too wicked!
Should we expose her?
