Chapter 219 High-End Green Tea
Qi Chenyan continued to accept all offers and drank them down in one gulp with great gusto.
"This is Nie Junheng, the president of Changsheng Pharmaceutical."
Changsheng Pharmaceutical is a leader in the medical device industry, so Yu Li is naturally familiar with the name Nie Junheng.
"Even though I have never worked in the medical device industry, I have heard of President Nie's great reputation. Changsheng Pharmaceutical's contributions to the medical industry in China and even the world are second to none. I'm offering this toast to President Nie on behalf of all mankind's health."
Nie Junheng had just thought that Shao Yuke's reaction after being praised was too exaggerated.
But to his surprise, Yu Li took a different approach, elevating the discussion to the level of all humanity.
Moreover, Yu Li's praise was definitely not the kind of polite words you hear at a dinner table. Her eyes were serious and focused, and when she spoke to people, she was very polite and respectful, making direct eye contact with them.
“If my sister-in-law praises me any more, I’ll get carried away. If we’re really talking about it, I’m the least ambitious of all these brothers. Lao Qi and the others are pursuing their dreams without hesitation.”
"Only I can only inherit the family business and rely on my parents. I absolutely dare not accept my sister-in-law's praise."
Yu Li said seriously, "Whether it's for dreams or livelihood, being able to do well in an industry, or even reach the top, is a height that many people can't reach even if they spend their whole lives."
Nie Junheng, who had benefited greatly from the experience, gave a thumbs up and said, "Sister-in-law's words were truly enlightening and I have learned a lot. I'll drink first as a sign of respect, and you can do as you please."
In the mouths of these brothers, letting the other party do as they please is an absolute sign of respect.
After all, when the brothers usually get together to drink, they always want to drink each other to death. If they don't drink each other under the table today, it means their skills have weakened.
Yu Li was drinking juice, and they all told her to do whatever she wanted, which meant that they had accepted this sister-in-law from the bottom of their hearts.
When it was Tang Poetry's turn, there was beer, red wine, and low-alcohol fruit wine on the table.
Tang Shi had beer in her hand, but she took an empty glass and poured red wine into it.
After pouring a glass of red wine, Qi Chenyan introduced her.
"Tang Shi is a violinist who is currently studying in Germany. Lili, you should have seen her photo at your teacher's home."
Yu Li gave a polite smile. "So Miss Tang is a violinist. I'm so sorry. I've always thought that girls who can play musical instruments are exceptionally elegant and classy."
"When I saw Ms. Tang's photo at Minister Tang's home before, I felt that Ms. Tang had an artistic air that others did not have. Today, I truly believe that seeing is believing."
Yu Li was not at all bothered by Tang Shi's seemingly unintentional but actually assertive behavior.
Still speaking from a girl's perspective, she generously expressed her admiration for another girl.
Tang Shi smiled and took out two tickets from her bag: "I didn't expect my sister-in-law to be so interested in music. It just so happens that I'm back in China this time to go on a world tour with my senior brother."
“I have two tickets for the tour here, both in the front row. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a violin performance before. It might be your first time, so you might not understand it very well.”
"But my sister-in-law will be with Brother Shen Yan. He has seen many of my performances and can explain things to her at any time. So, my sister-in-law and Brother Shen Yan must come and support us."
Even Qi Xi couldn't help but sigh after hearing these words, "What a top-notch green tea!"
Judging by this art of speaking, compared to Qi Jianyue before, Qi Jianyue is simply a little karaomi in front of Tang Shi, there is no comparison at all.
Tang Shi's words were very polite, but between the lines, it was revealed that her relationship with Qi Chenyan was not shallow.
At the same time, it also implied to those present that even though Yu Li is now married to Qi Chenyan and has risen to a higher social status, it still cannot change her original birth.
She was an ordinary girl from the countryside.
Through his own hard work, he has climbed to the position of deputy director of the television station.
For an ordinary person like Yu Li, it is already quite an achievement to be able to sit in the position of deputy director at this age.
But for many people, no matter how hard they try in their lives, reaching the position of director is considered the limit, while the more core positions are so competitive that they can't even get in despite fierce competition.
Because this is not a height that can be reached through hard work or good grades.
The core circles are all exclusive.
Especially for senior management, those directors are veterans who have worked alongside the chairman to expand the company's territory and hold a significant share of the company.
Without a strong enough background, this is the only way to go.
Unlike Tang Shi and his contemporaries, who were born into families in Rome...
Tang Shi's family is absolutely top-tier, even on a scale that spans the entire country of China.
If she wants it, if she just says the word, there's nothing she can't get.
Qi Chenyan is the same; from this perspective, they are the same kind of people.
As for Yu Li, she was like a little sparrow that had mistakenly wandered into the heavenly realm.
Even though she stumbled into the world by accident, she still couldn't shake off the air of a poor person suddenly becoming rich.
However, Yu Li wasn't angry because she felt it was unnecessary.
Before she could speak, Qi Chenyan pressed down on the ticket with two fingers, pushing it back in front of Tang Shi.
"I don't know much about music. I used to just accompany my teacher to support her. Lili and I are usually quite busy, so we probably don't have much free time."
While offering a concise refusal, Qi Chenyan subtly placed himself on the same level as his wife, indicating that although he had attended many concerts, he only listened casually and didn't claim to know much about them.
This was undoubtedly a slap in the face to Tang poetry.
Sure enough, Tang Shi's bright smile faded somewhat.
Qi Chenyan, however, seemed oblivious, and instead raised his wine glass, saying, "I wish you all the best at your concert."
Tang Shi's smile faded, and there was an obvious sense of melancholy in her voice: "It is said that men are bound by their families after marriage. It is a good thing that Brother Shen Yan is so family-oriented. Naturally, I don't want to bother you and your sister-in-law too much."
As he spoke, Tang Shi picked up his wine cup and was about to drink.
Tan Mo, standing to the side, reached out to stop her, saying, "Shishi, you're allergic to red wine, forgot? Why did you pour yourself some? Don't you want to die after drinking this?"
Yu Li glanced at it; no wonder she had felt something was off earlier.
Because Tan Mo poured the drinks, and Tan Mo poured beer for Tang Shi, but Tang Shi didn't drink it. Instead, when Qi Chenyan was about to introduce her, she took an empty glass and poured herself a glass of red wine.
Yu Li thought she preferred drinking alcohol, but Tan Mo's words clearly indicated otherwise.
She not only dislikes drinking it, but is also allergic to it; drinking it would cause problems.
"It's alright, it's just a glass of red wine. Today is the first time that Brother Shenyan has formally introduced his wife to us. Everyone is happy, so a little bit won't hurt."
