Secretary Zhang chuckled and said, "This young lady, Shirley, seems like a straightforward person. Eat, eat, eat. Oh, by the way, Xiao Cui, pour some wine for these two ladies as well."
Yan Yan quickly shook her head, "No, no, Secretary Zhang, I don't drink alcohol."
Secretary Zhang said, "Hey, let's have a little drink, just to liven things up."
Yan Yan had no choice but to say, "Secretary Zhang, I'm sorry, I'm allergic to alcohol."
Su Xueli knew that Yan Yan couldn't drink alcohol; it would cause her to break out in red bumps all over her body.
Cui Huabiao sternly rebuked Yan Yan: "You really don't know any better. Secretary Zhang advised you to drink, and you dared not drink?"
He insisted on pouring some for Yan Yan, and then poured some for Su Xue Li.
Secretary Zhang chuckled and raised his glass, saying, "That's perfect! Come on, let's have a drink first, wishing the two young ladies to grow more and more beautiful."
Cui Huabiao raised his wine glass, bowing and scraping repeatedly, saying "thank you," and then instructed Yan Yan and Su Xueli: "You two should say thank you to Secretary Zhang."
Yan Yan immediately said, "Thank you, Secretary Zhang."
Su Xueli remained silent, downed her drink in one gulp, then snatched Xueli's glass and downed it in one gulp as well.
He said, "Secretary Zhang, Shirley is my good friend. I know she is allergic to alcohol, so I'll drink it for her."
After saying that, he turned to Yan Yan and said, "Look, no one cares about you except me."
Cui Huabiao was embarrassed.
Secretary Zhang laughed heartily, "This Miss Xue Li is really straightforward, her alcohol tolerance is quite extraordinary! Since Miss Yan Yan is allergic and can't drink, then please don't drink. I apologize for not knowing the situation."
Cui Huabiao then flattered Secretary Zhang: "Oh, how can you blame Secretary Zhang? It's my fiancée's fault for being allergic to alcohol, really..."
Yan Yan looked embarrassed and lowered her head without saying a word.
Su Xueli picked up a piece of chicken and put it on her plate, saying, "I'll drink for you, so you eat more meat for me."
Secretary Zhang burst into laughter again, "This girl, Shirley, is really funny. Come on, girl, let's have another drink."
Su Xueli raised her glass and said, "Secretary Zhang, drink."
The meat was delicious and the wine was pure in this era; it would be foolish not to eat or drink it.
"Look, you can't drink alcohol. You should take care of Secretary Zhang and pour him tea or wine," Cui Huabiao scolded Yan Yan.
Yan Yan hurriedly got up, picked up the teapot, and poured tea for Secretary Zhang. Su Xueli looked coldly at Cui Huabiao and said, "Secretary Zhang is your superior. It's your job to pour the wine and tea."
Then he looked at Secretary Zhang and said, "Aren't you right, Secretary Zhang?"
Secretary Zhang could only say, "Yes, yes, how can we let female comrades take care of us? I'll do it myself."
"I'll do it, I'll do it, I'll do it." Cui Huabiao snatched the teapot from Yan Yan's hand and was about to pour tea for Secretary Zhang.
Su Xueli picked up Yan Yan's teacup and handed it to him, saying, "Secretary Zhang just said that ladies go first."
Cui Huabiao's triangular eyes flashed with a sinister light, but Secretary Zhang's words immediately extinguished his anger: "That's right, pour for the lady first."
Cui Huabiao poured tea for Yan Yan with a smile that looked more like a grimace. Su Xueli then handed him her own cup, watching him slowly pour the tea and saying, "Thank you. But I see you don't look too happy, Cui Huabiao. Are you not going to pour me any? If you don't pour me any, you're not giving Secretary Zhang any face."
Cui Huabiao's face turned purple. He gritted his teeth and spat out, "No, you've misunderstood."
