"Have you been drinking?"
Su Ruochu on the other end of the phone quickly explained.
"I drank a little. The president led the team and invited the representatives of the sponsors to dinner, so I had to drink."
Chen Fan, however, looked nervous.
"That won't work. You can't drink much. What if you drink too much?"
Su Ruchu chuckled.
"Look how scared you are! I am still sober."
"I'm calling to ask if you have time to come pick me up. I guess the dinner will probably take a while..."
Chen Fan looked worried: "I'll be there right now. Remember, you can't drink anymore."
"I know. Why are you so strict... humph."
Hearing Su Ruochu's angry look, Chen Fan became even more nervous.
You have to know that Ruochu is usually quiet and introverted. Even when facing himself, he is shy to express his feelings.
She is a very shy girl.
But today Su Ruochu obviously talked more.
Chen Fan guessed that this girl was probably forced to drink.
"Wife, please come out right now and wait for me at the hotel entrance. I'll be there soon."
Su Ruochu: "How can I do that? The sponsorship hasn't been finalized yet, and the president and his family haven't left yet. If I leave early, they will get angry."
Chen Fan was speechless.
"You're already drunk, and you still care about others."
"Listen to me, say goodbye to them and leave immediately..."
Before he could finish his words, he heard several other people's voices on the other end of the line.
"Oh, Su Ruochu, you are hiding here. The president and Manager Pu have been looking for you."
Su Ruchu's voice rang out: "I really can't drink anymore. My boyfriend will be angry."
A girl next to her laughed.
"Your boyfriend is quite strict. Besides, we are not doing anything bad. We are just trying to get sponsorship for the club."
"The president said he's counting on you this time. If you can have a couple more drinks with Manager Pu, I think you'll get the sponsorship."
"If you get the sponsorship, you will have made great contributions to our club. The president might even promote you to a higher level."
Su Ruchu was a girl who was not very good at saying no, and she spoke in a low, timid voice.
"My boyfriend said..."
"Ah! You're still on the phone. Hang up now, everyone is waiting anxiously..."
Beep...
Chen Fan looked unhappy and almost burst into tears. He walked straight to the door of the Internet cafe.
Seeing Chen Fan's performance, Luo Jie immediately realized something.
"Something happened?"
Chen Fan said as he walked: "I don't have time to treat you to a meal. Maybe next time. I have to pick up my girlfriend."
"Fuck! It's already this late and we're still eating."
Luo Jie waved his hand and said, "Go pick them up first."
He was standing by when Chen Fan called just now, and based on what Chen Fan said, he had basically guessed what was going on.
"Do you want me to go with you?"
"Need not."
Seeing Chen Fan's anxious look, Luo Jie immediately asked, "Where is it? Is it far?"
"Hotel Saint-Honoré."
"I know that place. It's in the city center." Luo Jie said immediately: "You have to take a taxi there, otherwise it's too far."
The two stood on the roadside waiting for a while, but the more anxious they became, the fewer taxis passed by.
Seeing that Chen Fan was getting more and more anxious, Luo Jie hurriedly comforted him.
"Don't worry, they went there with a group of classmates, nothing will happen to them."
After saying that, he immediately took out his cell phone.
"Don't wait, I'll call Xiao Shuai right away, he should be at school."
After saying this, without waiting for Chen Fan to speak, he directly called Ma Xiaoshuai.
"Hey, are you in school?"
"Stop hanging around with your girlfriend and drive to the school gate."
"Fuck! It's not me who needs the car, it's Lao Chen, something happened."
Three minutes later, a red BMW came speeding out of the school gate and stopped directly in front of the two people.
The car window was lowered and Ma Xiaoshuai shouted, "Get in the car."
"Go to the Saint-Honoré Hotel."
As soon as the two of them sat down, Ma Xiaoshuai stepped on the accelerator and drove out. Only then did he have time to turn his head and look at the two of them.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
Luo Jie pointed and said, "Mr. Chen is going to pick up his girlfriend."
Upon hearing this, Ma Xiaoshuai burst into curses on the spot.
"Brother Jie, can you please be more responsible? I was just with my girlfriend, and you..."
Before he finished speaking, noticing the serious expressions on their faces, Ma Xiaoshuai immediately asked, "Did something really happen?"
Chen Fan shook his head: "I'm not sure at the moment, I hope I'm overthinking it."
Ma Xiaoshuai stepped hard on the accelerator without saying a word.
Hotel Saint-Honoré.
Private room on the fifth floor.
Su Ruchu had just returned and was called over by the president with a warm wave.
"Come on! Ruochu, sit here with me and have a good chat with Manager Pu."
"President, I..."
The president leaned over and whispered in Su Ruchu's ear.
"Manager Pu has a good impression of you. You must strive to get him to sponsor our club party. We have worked so hard for so long, now it depends on you."
After the president said this, Su Ruchu became even more at a loss.
She was originally a girl who didn't know how to say no to others.
He sat in the former president's position with some trepidation, and next to him was Manager Pu, the manager of a furniture company in Yunhai.
Manager Pu is a fat man, and his eyes almost narrow into slits when he smiles.
"Haha, Miss Su, you went out just now and missed a round. Now you are the only one who hasn't drunk."
Su Ruochu said in a low voice, a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I... can't drink much, I can't drink anymore."
"Oh, you youngsters all say you can't drink well, but in fact, you are all very good."
The president next to him kept giving Su Ruochu a look, but unfortunately Su Ruochu kept his head down, pretending not to see it.
"I really can't drink it. Sorry."
Manager Pu looked at the club president standing beside him with a smile.
"Xiao Wang, are these the soldiers you brought with you? They are not very good."
"If you say so, I have to carefully consider your sincerity in cooperating with me."
Upon hearing this, the president quickly stood up.
"Manager Pu, we are definitely inviting you to dinner with sincerity, so you can rest assured."
"Well, if she doesn't drink, I'll drink for her."
After saying this, the guy reached out for the wine glass and was about to drink it all in one gulp.
Manager Pu snorted coldly.
"Who are you to her? Can you make the decision for her?"
As soon as these words came out, the president immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly frowned and glared at Su Ruchu.
"Su Ruchu, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Manager Pu?"
"Do you still want to stay in the club? We have worked so hard for so long, do you want to destroy all our achievements by yourself?"
Su Ruochu sat in his seat with his head lowered.
"I'm sorry, I..."
"Hey, Manager Pu, I don't think there's any need to make this matter so rigid."
At this time, the companion that Manager Pu brought with him suddenly spoke.
"I think the little girl is just shy, so please don't force her."
"They are all children, they have never been in society, and they don't know the rules of the drinking table."
The man laughed and said, "Manager Pu, since the girl feels embarrassed to drink alone."
"How about I make a suggestion, let Manager Pu drink a cup of wine with the girl?"
"Let's drink a cup of wine together and put this matter behind us."
Upon hearing this, Manager Pu's eyes lit up instantly.
The club's president looked embarrassed.
The fat and greasy Manager Pu slowly stood up, picked up the wine glass, and spoke with a smile.
"Let's put it this way. Today, everyone is happy. I'm going to put this on hold... If Miss Su is willing to do me a favor and drink a cup of wine with me, I'll give you an extra 2,000 yuan on top of my original sponsorship!"
Upon hearing this, the eyes of several society leaders at the table suddenly lit up.
