An hour later.
Tang Xiaolong accompanied the group leader, who was already staggering, and several others as they walked out.
"Team Leader Xiao, then we'll meet tonight. We can discuss the price then."
"Sure, sure." Team Leader Xiao was now smug and his mind was a complete mess; he had no interest in making money at all.
The immense sense of satisfaction he felt made him feel like a really great person.
As they passed the front desk, Team Leader Xiao's gaze immediately changed upon seeing Ye Xiaoxin. The men behind him also stared intently at her. However, Team Leader Xiao had already walked past, and even though they were drunk, they still retained some basic awareness.
You can't compete with your boss.
Even the lowest-ranking team leader is still their superior.
With Tang Xiaolong's support, Team Leader Xiao slowly approached Ye Xiaoxin and gave her a wicked smile: "Are you... are you free tonight? I... let's have dinner together tonight."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaoxin's mood, which had just been restored, immediately soured, and she made no attempt to hide the disgust on her face.
In particular, the smell of alcohol mixed with cigarette smoke from the other person's mouth was extremely unpleasant, almost making Ye Xiaoxin vomit.
Upon seeing this, Su Xinwan and Tao Qiuyan, who were standing nearby, immediately became alert, because they could also tell that Team Leader Xiao in front of them had ill intentions.
Even Tang Xiaolong, who was supporting Team Leader Xiao, frowned. However, since they had already discussed things to that extent, he still managed a smile and said, "Sister Xiaoxin, let's have another meal with Team Leader Xiao tonight. He has already agreed that the price is negotiable."
"Yes, yes, yes."
The triumphant team leader, Xiao, nodded repeatedly and assured them, "We can discuss the price, as long as you... hiccup, as long as you have a proper dinner with us tonight, everything will be fine."
"Okay." Ye Xiaoxin gritted her teeth and agreed when she saw Tang Xiaolong giving her meaningful glances.
"Okay, okay."
Team Leader Xiao immediately cheered happily.
Tang Xiaolong then helped Team Leader Xiao leave, and the three sales staff behind him gave Ye Xiaoxin a meaningful look before following the two of them.
Behind Ye Xiaoxin came Su Xinwan's sullen voice: "What kind of people are these? How could Tang Xiaolong agree to this?"
I used to think Tang Xiaolong was a good person, but I never expected him to be like this.
Tao Qiuyan chimed in, "Yeah, why are they like this? Xiaoxin, you can't go tonight, those guys don't seem like good people either."
Making money is important, but my daughter is even more important.
Perhaps Ye Xiaoxin and Su Xinwan were inexperienced, but Tao Qiuyan was experienced and immediately recognized the look in those people's eyes.
Isn't that the kind of lecherous look that makes you want to pounce on them?
Remembering what Su Xinwan had said before, Tao Qiuyan felt that dinner tonight was definitely not going to be a good thing, and she even started to resent Tang Xiaolong.
She had to give Ye Beiping a serious warning about this matter, and that he must never let Ye Xiaoxin do such things again.
Unexpectedly, Ye Xiaoxin frowned and sighed, "No, I still have to go."
"What?" Tao Qiuyan and Su Xinyi were shocked.
I didn't expect Ye Xiaoxin to be going out tonight?
"But......"
Before Tao Qiuyan could say anything, Ye Xiaoxin turned around and interrupted, "Mom, I just called Beiping, and he said it's okay if we don't reach an agreement. Don't worry, I won't suffer any losses. I just want to give it a try; I don't want to give up so quickly."
"but......"
Tao Qiuyan was still worried and said, "Those guys were clearly up to no good just now. I'm not comfortable with you going with Tang Xiaolong."
"Alright, I'll invite Jiang He along tonight. If necessary, Xinwan can come with me too, right?" Ye Xiaoxin raised an eyebrow at Su Xinwan behind the front desk.
Su Xinwan, who was just watching the show, was stunned when the situation suddenly became her own.
However, at Ye Xiaoxin's prompting, she could only obediently nod and force a smile to comfort Tao Qiuyan: "Auntie, I'll go too. I definitely won't drink. If anything happens, I'll definitely protect Sister Xiaoxin."
"Alright."
Seeing that both of them had said so, Tao Qiuyan could only nod in agreement, but she was still very worried.
Seeing that Tao Qiuyan had agreed, Ye Xiaoxin immediately went to find Jiang He.
"Then I'll go find Jiang He first, and I'll be back in a bit."
The sound gradually faded into the distance. Watching Ye Xiaoxin's departing figure, Tao Qiuyan gave Su Xinwan a worried reminder: "Xinwan, if anything happens, remember to call the police first."
After arriving in Hangzhou, Tao Qiuyan didn't master everything else, but she learned everything Ye Beiping said about public security perfectly.
No matter what happens, calling the police is always the right thing to do.
"Yes, no, Auntie, don't worry," Su Xinwan patted her chest and assured her.
...
7 PM.
Ye Xiaoxin originally thought she would have dinner at the Xile Hotel, but Tang Xiaolong took her to another state-run restaurant instead.
Jiang He and Su Xinwan followed behind.
Tang Xiaolong didn't say anything, but explained why they had come here for dinner.
"Sister Xiaoxin, I'm going to invite them out tonight. It's closer here, so I've arranged for them to stay here."
"Oh." Ye Xiaoxin didn't say anything.
If we can negotiate a better price, spending a little more money isn't a big deal, since 80 cents a liter is too expensive and the price is no different from what's sold elsewhere.
If you really take it home for 80 cents a liter, you might lose money even if a few people who can drink a lot come by.
