Hearing the big boss's praise, Lin Xiaoxiao happily said, "Thank you for your affirmation. I also believe in my abilities, and I will continue to strive for greater things."
With that, he stood up, raised his glass, and said, "A toast to everyone!"
Everyone, including the big boss, stood up reflexively.
Lin Xiaoxiao laughed heartily and waved her hand, "Sit down and drink, you don't need to stand up to toast me, the junior."
"It is my greatest honor to receive your recognition."
With that, he drank the juice in his glass in one gulp.
The big shot clapped his hands, his face showing appreciation.
Just then, the manager came over and said to Lin Xiaoxiao, "Your friend has arrived."
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded and looked at the big boss, "I really want to have a few more drinks with you, but unfortunately I have an appointment with a friend and I have to excuse myself. I will punish myself with three drinks."
He picked up the three glasses of juice and gulped them down.
The others didn't know it was juice, and seeing her so generous, they couldn't help but look at her with admiration.
Lin Xiaoxiao put down her cup. "Excuse me."
Everyone nodded in understanding.
Before leaving the booth, Lin Xiaoxiao whispered to Sean, "Dad, did I make you proud?"
Sean looked at her with a complicated expression.
Hearing Lin Xiaoxiao's next words, he instantly lost his composure.
"Give me another million, please." Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes were full of expectation.
Sean: "......"
He uttered a few words, "No."
Lin Xiaoxiao's expression changed, and she pouted in dissatisfaction, "Hmph, you stingy person."
She slipped away before Sean could yell at her angrily.
The wealthy man next to Sean overheard Lin Xiaoxiao's conversation with Sean, and seeing Sean's constipated expression, he burst into laughter, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "If I had such a cute little daughter, I'd give her ten million, let alone a million."
Sean: "......"
They look cute, but they can drive you crazy with their wits.
She said she was disgusted, but in reality she was thinking that Ellie would give her another million tomorrow.
Lin Xiaoxiao is right about something.
She really made him proud.
Sean sensed the subtle envy from the other wealthy people and suppressed the upward curve of his lips.
The other end of the bar.
Both are luxurious booths.
But only two people were sitting there.
Jeff changed out of his work clothes and arrived at the banquet in a sharp suit.
Lin Xiaoxiao sized him up and laughed, "Oh my God, did you come to the bar to discuss business?"
Jeff blushed slightly, a little embarrassed. "Sorry, I've never been to a bar that costs this much before."
This place has always been a favorite spot for celebrities and wealthy businessmen.
He assumed everyone would dress like that.
Lin Xiaoxiao placed the drinks menu in front of him, "Order whatever you want, my dad will pay."
“…Mr. Sean?” Jeff paused as he took the drinks menu, glancing around.
The bar was surprisingly empty.
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, "My dad booked the whole place; they're having a party on the other side."
You can imagine the status of someone who can afford to have Sean book an entire party.
Jeff glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao, never expecting that he would also have the opportunity to drink with a wealthy heiress.
Lin Xiaoxiao casually ordered a few drinks, added some more, and then handed them to the waiter.
Lin Xiaoxiao leaned back in the booth, looked Jeff up and down, and said bluntly, "I want to ask you some questions. I don't know if it's presumptuous of me."
Jeff paused for a moment, then shook his head, "You say."
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. I think we can be friends."
Jeff was somewhat flattered. "It's my honor."
It wasn't that Jeff was narcissistic, but he had some doubts about whether this wealthy heiress had taken a liking to him.
They had only met once, yet she invited him to drink at such an expensive bar.
People in Country M are very straightforward and open about relationships; if they like someone, they get together, and if they don't, they break up.
If she were just an ordinary girl, Jeff might have simply asked her if she liked him. But he was dealing with no ordinary girl; she was the daughter of the famous and wealthy Mr. Sean.
The difference in their social status is too great.
He lacks the courage and determination.
Seeing his dazed expression, and not knowing what he was thinking, Lin Xiaoxiao spoke first, asking, "You work in the Investigation Bureau, is the salary high?"
Jeff snapped out of his reverie. "Pretty good."
Given the current high unemployment rate, if he says it's pretty good, then it really is pretty good.
Lin Xiaoxiao was very curious about the situation of that Japanese person today. "Was that Japanese person really JD?"
Jeff nodded. "Yes, you've caught a JD for our country. You're really great."
“Those despicable JDs are hiding among ordinary people, maliciously stealing our country’s information. Anyone caught doing so should be shot.”
Jeff looked agitated and indignant.
No wonder they're from the Investigation Bureau.
Lin Xiaoxiao's lips curled into a sarcastic smile, but she quickly returned to normal.
She sighed and said wistfully, "Why does JD exist?"
Jeff blurted out, "Political, military, and economic needs."
Lin Xiaoxiao said "Oh," and then asked innocently, "So our country has that too?"
Jeff's expression stiffened, and he didn't answer directly. "The drinks are here. Which one would you like?"
Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at him and smiled, "Either is fine."
If we're talking about JD.com, which country has more JD.com users than the US?
The former CIA director once said, "We will interfere as long as it is in our national security interests. If you don't like it, just put up with it. The whole world has to get used to it."
Lin Xiaoxiao could only respond with a Chinese proverb: "If your claws stretch too far, they will be chopped off."
