"But......"
Jiang He wanted to say something, but Ye Xiaoxin interrupted him. She looked at Tang Xiaolong and said, "Xiaolong, really, if you don't have the skills, don't take on the job. Do you think you're so great and have so much face?"
"I..." Tang Xiaolong blushed and couldn't say a word for a long time.
Today, Ye Xiaoxin realized that Tang Xiaolong was good at entertaining people, but when it came to actually discussing business, he probably lacked a lot of experience.
Although she herself isn't very good at it, she's still quite accurate in her judgment of things.
Just as everyone was quiet, the door to the private room was pushed open.
"Hey, you're here so early." Team Leader Xiao greeted them with a grin upon seeing the familiar faces in the private room. His eyes lit up when he saw Su Xinwan, but his brow furrowed slightly when his gaze fell on Jiang He: "And this is...?"
"Team Leader Xiao is here."
Tang Xiaolong's face, which had just turned red, immediately returned to normal when he saw Team Leader Xiao arrive. He stood up and greeted him with a smile, saying, "His name is Jiang He. He's with us; we're all friends."
friend?
Although Team Leader Xiao was unhappy about the extra man, he didn't say anything.
He waved behind him and said, "Come and sit down. Xiaolong told me we're going to other places to play today, so let's not drink too much later."
"Hehe, thanks, Xiaolong."
"Xiao Long, you've gone to so much trouble."
"Dinner can be nothing special, we feel bad that Xiaolong is paying for everything."
...
The three sales staff who came with Team Leader Xiao greeted Tang Xiaolong like old friends.
It was as if they treated Tang Xiaolong like their own younger brother.
The way they address each other is also very intimate.
Tang Xiaolong felt elated by the way the people addressed him and the few words they said, feeling that his money hadn't been wasted.
After inviting Team Leader Xiao and the other three to sit down, he immediately asked the waiter to bring Moutai and pour them some wine.
When it was Su Xinwan's turn, the other party unexpectedly said that she was too young and asked the waiter for a bottle of Coke.
Tang Xiaolong didn't care about any of this.
Team Leader Xiao frowned and said, "Why isn't she drinking? Everyone's having so much fun today, it would be a shame if she didn't drink."
These words made Ye Xiaoxin and Su Xinwan frown, but they remained silent.
I saw a few not-so-good people at noon, so it's best to keep quiet and let Tang Xiaolong deal with it himself.
Just as Tang Xiaolong was about to explain, Jiang He stood up with his wine glass and toasted Team Leader Xiao, saying, "Team Leader Xiao, right? She's my younger sister. She's young, not yet an adult, and has never drunk alcohol. I brought her here today because no one else is home. This toast is to you as an apology on her behalf."
With that, he tilted his head back and finished the drink in his glass.
This scene left everyone in the private room dumbfounded.
Especially Team Leader Xiao, he only said one sentence, and the others rattled off a whole bunch of things. The main thing is that the dishes hadn't even been served yet, and they were already drinking.
They've gone to such lengths; if Team Leader Xiao didn't raise his glass, it would seem like he was deliberately making things difficult. As the team leader of the sales department, he was used to fawning over superiors at lower levels, so he understood these things and awkwardly smiled as he raised his glass and took a sip.
In his heart, he cursed Jiang He a hundred and eight thousand times.
The most surprised person was Ye Xiaoxin, who never expected Jiang He to be so eloquent at the dinner table, far surpassing Tang Xiaolong.
Tang Xiaolong was not to be outdone, and immediately raised his glass to toast the other three sales staff.
And just like that, before the food even arrived, they had already drunk two rounds of alcohol.
Ye Xiaoxin also took the opportunity to drink a glass.
Within ten minutes, one dish after another was served.
Just as Team Leader Xiao was about to reach for a piece of braised pork with his chopsticks, Jiang He began to talk about today's tasks.
"Team Leader Xiao, although this is our first meeting, I know that besides drinking and having fun, we're here today to discuss the price of our beer purchase. I wonder if Team Leader Xiao consulted with his superiors this afternoon, or... considered giving us a reasonable price."
The words were spoken very tactfully, yet they got straight to the point.
They didn't directly ask if we had made up our minds by the afternoon, or whether we planned to lower the price.
Upon hearing this, Team Leader Xiao glanced at Jiang He with surprise, immediately sensing that the other party was not someone to be trifled with. However, having worked in a state-owned factory for so many years, he was also a shrewd person, and immediately chuckled to change the subject: "We have already asked our superiors about this matter, but as you know, it takes time. The leaders are all quite busy, and your purchase volume is probably not very large. The leaders are probably just too busy to remember. I will go and urge them again tomorrow."
"Yes, yes, urge them on." Tang Xiaolong raised his glass to Team Leader Xiao like a lackey and said, "Team Leader Xiao, you really care about us. I'll toast you with this glass."
At this moment, Team Leader Xiao was all smiles on the surface, but inside he was cursing.
You guys didn't even eat a single piece of meat yourselves, and this is how you force-feed us alcohol, is that it?
However, he still raised his glass and toasted Tang Xiaolong politely, saying, "This is what I should do; it's my duty to be loyal to someone who entrusted me with this task."
Just as he put down his wine glass to pick up the piece of braised pork he had been eyeing for a long time, Ye Xiaoxin raised her wine glass again and began to speak in a very similar manner to Jiang He.
"Then I wonder what price your leader, Team Leader Xiao, can give us, even just a rough estimate would be fine."
Team Leader Xiao was quite pleased to offer a toast to a beautiful woman.
However, upon hearing this question, his brows furrowed instantly.
