Immediately afterwards, she picked up the wine glass in front of her and drank several mouthfuls in succession until she finished the coconut juice in the glass.
Ling Yunlong glanced at Su Yu, who was frequently casting ambiguous glances at President Li, without changing his expression. His face gradually turned green.
Such scenes often occurred in the past.
Especially when Shijian Group was first established, he would bring Su Yu to every banquet, simply because her exceptional diplomatic skills could bring him many benefits.
But now, he has already established himself in Linjiang City and has become the man most likely to reach the top of the pyramid after the four major families of Linjiang City.
Under these circumstances, his tolerance level is not as high as it used to be.
Whenever he saw Su Yu exchanging glances with other men, he felt an urge to slap her hard.
After finishing his red wine, Mr. Li let out an unrefined burp reeking of alcohol. He then refilled his glass and turned his head to gaze longingly at Ling Mo, who was becoming more and more captivating with each passing moment.
"Miss Ling, what's the next step? Is it time for me, Li, to speak my mind?"
"I'm suddenly feeling a little dizzy. I need to go to the restroom first, excuse me."
As soon as Ling Mo finished speaking, he walked out of the private room without paying attention to the reactions of the others.
Since Su Yu had already drunk the coconut juice, she had achieved her goal for this trip. Therefore, she no longer needed to suppress her nausea and put on an act with this table full of charlatans.
Ling Tian, who was sitting quietly to the side, perked up instantly when Ling Mo said he was unwell. A hint of obvious amusement appeared in her round, dark eyes.
Earlier, she had heard Su Yu say that the drug used to deal with a troublemaker like Ling Mo was extremely powerful. Just one or two drops were enough to knock out an adult weighing over 100 pounds.
Thinking about the grand spectacle tonight, two blushes suddenly appeared on Ling Tian's fair face, making her look exceptionally excited.
After tonight, Ling Mo's reputation will be worse than the filth in a ditch. Then, she'll no longer have the leverage to compete with her for Liang Feifan.
Furthermore, her bet with Ling Mo would almost certainly be nullified because of this unexpected turn of events. In that case, she wouldn't have to kneel down and admit defeat in front of the entire school, and she would at least save face.
Perhaps this is what is meant by "those who are virtuous receive much help."
Ling Tian grew happier the more she thought about it, eager to share her joy with others. So she opened WeChat, uploaded a beautiful selfie, and added a short caption:
They say suffering a loss is a blessing, and that's absolutely true. To gain even more blessings, I ate until I was stuffed again tonight. (Smiling face emoji)
After seeing Ling Tian's post on WeChat Moments, Xiong Chumo rolled her eyes and casually gave it a like.
Ling Tian is prone to weight gain, and the reason she can maintain her slender figure is simply because she eats very little.
Therefore, she would never believe Ling Tian's loving but lying mouth.
Ji Yan had been reading late into the night for quite some time, but after seeing Ling Tian's post, the fatigue on his face vanished.
He stared intently at Ling Tian's selfie, instantly transforming into a mind-numbing fanboy, commenting:
They say your appearance reflects your inner self, and that's absolutely true. Little Sweetie is getting more and more beautiful.
...
On the other side, Ling Mo had just stepped out of the private room when he was bumped into by Han Shu, the general manager of the Emperor Hotel.
He originally wanted to go up and say hello, after all, Ling Mo was someone Qin Beiming had personally asked him to take care of, so he naturally dared not neglect him.
However, before he could get close, he saw President Li rush out of the private room and follow behind Ling Mo, calling her "Miss Ling" more and more warmly.
Han Shu sensed something was amiss and quickly turned to his assistant to ask, "Who are the guests in this private room?"
"The person hosting the banquet is Mr. Li from Guanghua Industry. Besides him, the chairman of Shijian Group and his family are also there. In addition, Mr. Li from Guanghua Industry also booked a VIP presidential suite, which seems to indicate that he plans to stay at the hotel."
"Only the old scoundrels from Guanghua Industrial and the Ling family?"
Han Shu had long heard that the CEO of Guanghua Industry had an extremely chaotic private life, and now that he saw only the Ling family in the private room, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
The next moment, he hurriedly made a phone call to Qin Beiming, saying in a flustered manner:
"Third Master, the daughter of the chairman of Shijian Group is currently dining with her family on the 12th floor, accompanied by General Manager Li of Guanghua Industry. In addition, General Manager Li of Guanghua Industry has booked a VIP presidential suite. I feel that something is not right, so I am reporting this to you."
On the top floor of the Emperor Hotel, Qin Beiming was busy processing urgent documents from the group headquarters when he suddenly received a call from Han Shu. His handsome brows furrowed tightly.
"Third Master, what should we do now?" Han Shu asked respectfully.
Send me the suite number.
As soon as Qin Beiming finished speaking, he put down everything he was doing and rushed to the president's private elevator.
On the other side, President Li, with his short legs, had already caught up with Ling Mo and asked with a smile:
"Is Miss Ling still feeling dizzy?"
"Um."
Ling Mo responded coldly, but his pace gradually slowed down as he waited for Ling Mo's next move.
"How about this, let me help you to your room to rest for a while?"
"Alright."
Ling Mo dodged Mr. Li's groping hand again, and followed him slowly without saying another word.
President Li was very dissatisfied with Ling Mo's evasiveness.
However, he could still hold back for a short while.
Once they're in the private room, the effects of the drug in Ling Mo's body should be fully realized, and then it won't be too late for him to torment her.
