I was still hesitating about whether to buy a house... Now look what's happened, I've really dug myself a hole, and there's no escaping it!
At this moment, Cao Jinbo said to me seriously, "Kid, if you're not drunk yet, listen carefully to what I have to say... I, Cao Jinbo, am someone who cherishes talent, and we're currently short of talent... If you're willing to work for me, my door is always open to you."
I jokingly replied, "You say I'm cunning and sly, but you're actually much more shrewd... I hadn't even realized it before you'd already tricked me. I'm really indebted to you! ...I was wrong. In front of you, I really should be more, more, more discreet..."

I looked at her, didn't take it, and just smiled and said, "I'm not some Mr. Mi, I'm just a social idler."
The assistant was somewhat embarrassed.
Chen Jin took it from her and said, "Michael must have drunk too much, don't mind him... But I still want to ask, did you send this hangover 'medicine' yourself, or was it at the request of your boss, Mr. Ye?"
