Chapter 1410 No One Drinks with You
Seeing Qiao Nan's sincere attitude and treating them as adults, Sanbao thought about it for a moment, nodded, and agreed very reluctantly: "But Minister, I can't go home too late. It's almost five o'clock now and I have to go home at a normal time. Is that okay?"
Qiao Nan had never attended such a dinner party before, so she wasn't sure how late her colleagues would end up partying. It always helped to make it clear in advance.
"Okay, I'll make sure you get home at a reasonable time." It was rare that his junior sister agreed to let everyone go out for dinner together to improve their relationship with colleagues. He Yi was very happy. He was originally still worried that even with his protection, the people in the department would implicitly trust Qiao Nan, and with the strength shown by Qiao Nan herself, if he really handed over his position to Qiao Nan in the end, would there be someone who would be dissatisfied like Deng Wenchang and secretly make moves to pull Qiao Nan down.
You have to know that the relationship between colleagues is built through getting along with each other. This kind of getting along is not only a manifestation of work ability.
For example, when Qiao Nan was in internship, even though she didn't participate in department activities every time, she was still an intern at that time, and it wasn't particularly appropriate for Qiao Nan and Deng Wenchang to participate. But He Yi always supported Qiao Nan's friendly and modest behavior.
The problem is that now that Qiao Nan is on the staff, some ways of doing things must change.
Continuing to maintain the same attitude as during the internship, Qiao Nan eventually left the impression on his colleagues that he was either easy to bully or too aloof and hard to win the hearts of the people.
Now that Qiao Nan agreed, they could all go out to eat together. He Yi was so happy. This junior sister was really a relief. He hadn't even told her about this situation yet, but she had thought of it first and solved the problem.
Sure enough, his decision to hand over his burden to his junior sister was correct.
At the dinner table, seeing that Qiao Nan was young, everyone only let him drink beer, while the others followed their own habits and drank the same wine as usual.
When everyone had a glass of wine, someone directly proposed: "Come on, come on, let's have a drink to today's hero, our minister, and our comrade Qiao!"
"Cheers, yes, cheers!" The newcomers can be more active and can greatly share the tasks and burdens of the old ones. Who wouldn't be happy to have someone to help them do the work?
"Cheers, everyone, let's raise a toast."
Everyone was in a good mood and stood up to toast, including Qiao Nan and He Yi. Of course, there was always that one person who was "different and didn't fit in."
Deng Wenchang had a stern face, as if someone owed him 10 million yuan and had not paid it back for years. He stood up slowly, picked up the cup reluctantly, and raised half of it. Throughout the whole process, Deng Wenchang was like a dumb man, unable to smile or speak, and he completely cooled the lively atmosphere.
“…”
Many people's mouths twitched, and they wanted to kick Deng Wenchang in the ass. Everyone was very happy. If Deng Wenchang was really so unhappy, no one would force him to come. Go wherever you want to stay, don't stay here, it will bother everyone and spoil the fun!
"Cheers." Qiao Nan simply ignored Wenchang. Qiao Nan had not seen many people like Deng Wenchang, but she had come into contact with many of them, for two lifetimes. The more she took Deng Wenchang seriously, the more he would make a fuss, just like Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin at home.
If you ignore such people, they will feel uncomfortable and terribly upset, and in the end they may not dare to fart at anyone.
In Qiao Nan's eyes, Deng Wenchang is as old as a child. The problem is that Deng Wenchang is not Qiao Nan's son, and Qiao Nan has no obligation to tolerate the willful and morbid Deng Wenchang so infinitely.
Whatever he wants, does he really think the earth will stop spinning without him?
Joke!
Qiao Nan's tone was not particularly strong, at most it sounded crisp and clear, which was quite effective in bringing up the atmosphere. A second ago, many people were so angry at Deng Wenchang's lifeless performance that they turned against him. The next second, under Qiao Nan's leadership, those who liked to drink drank first, regardless of Deng Wenchang.
The sound of the glasses hitting each other was very crisp, which made people feel refreshed and the atmosphere became more lively. Even though Qiao Nan was a girl, she was as generous as a man in drinking the beer in the glass. She drank it all in one gulp, which made many people cheer.
After that, the atmosphere was harmonious and warm with the clinking of glasses and laughter. Everyone had a smile on their face and raised their voices. The atmosphere was better than ever before. Of course, there was only one exception.
When toasting, everyone ignored Wenchang. Everyone raised their glasses high, except Deng Wenchang, who raised his glass halfway in a gloomy and limp manner.
Okay, if I don’t want to do it, I won’t do it with you.
Everyone clinked their glasses, except Deng Wenchang's glass, which made no sound.
Afterwards, several people started chatting, and everyone had someone to talk to. The conversation was very enjoyable, except for Deng Wenchang, who remained silent the entire time, without even a single "hmm". Apart from sitting on a stool, occupying a seat, and using a set of tableware, he was no different from a wooden man, without any sense of existence. No one was willing to talk to someone as unsociable as Deng Wenchang, and no one was willing to be so shameless.
He Yi reminded Qiao Nan that it was almost time to go back.
During the whole process, except for the first glass, He Yi did not stop him. After that, He Yi watched Qiao Nan drink.
Because of this situation, several colleagues joked with He Yi: "Director, I know you value talent and care about your seniors, but what you did is too much. If you didn't know that your sister-in-law gave birth to a son for you, our nephew would still be in school. Otherwise, we would all doubt whether Qiao is your daughter."
Apart from a father to his daughter, who else can be so caring towards a girl?
We are all men. No one can make a mistake or have any misunderstanding about whether He Yi's concern for Qiao Nan is out of a man's concern for his daughter or out of an elder's concern for his younger generation.
In fact, not only He Yi, but many people in the department also treated Qiao Nan as a senior in the family. So when drinking, no one kept forcing Qiao Nan to drink because she was a woman.
On the contrary, Qiao Nan did not refill his own glass, and no one would rush to refill it when Qiao Nan's glass was empty. And because Qiao Nan was the only one drinking beer at the table, they only asked the waiter to bring one bottle, and no one refilled the second bottle.
