However, before He Jing could even take the food, Yu Jiaojiao coldly rebuked her, "Don't you have any manners, waitress? I'm paying for this meal."
Her arrogant tone made the waiter feel somewhat embarrassed.
Then, the waitress looked at He Jing, hoping to get her instructions. Seeing He Jing nod almost imperceptibly, she resumed her smiling expression and said sweetly, "Miss, I'm very sorry."
After saying that, she took another menu and placed it in front of Yu Jiaojiao.
Yu Jiaojiao refused, and instead took the portion in front of He Jing, saying, "Isn't this enough? We don't need so many portions."
So He Jing smiled and said, "Sister Jiao Jiao may not know this, but it's the rule at Anjing Restaurant to give you two copies of the menu. Even if Sister Jiao Jiao hadn't asked, the staff would have given you the menu. The reason she gave it to me first is because I was sitting closer."
Yu Jiaojiao raised an eyebrow, seemingly unimpressed: "Really?"
He Jing glanced at the waiter reassuringly and said, "Of course."
The waiter obediently agreed, "That's right."
Yu Jiaojiao's expression finally softened a little, but she still didn't give He Jing a friendly look. She just looked at the menu and ordered the dishes she wanted.
After she had ordered her own food, she passed the menu out and said, "Order whatever you like."
The people at the Chemical Research Institute seemed to be used to similar things and didn't think anything was wrong. They each ordered one dish, and in total, they ordered more than twenty dishes.
He Jing was the last one. Because she was sitting to Yu Jiaojiao's right, Yu Jiaojiao passed the menu from the left side. By the time the menu reached He Jing, the classic dishes had already been ordered, so He Jing ordered a light snack, corn salad.
Yu Jiaojiao immediately said sarcastically, "When we eat later, don't take a couple of bites and then say you're on a diet, ruining everyone's mood."
He Jing responded with good temper: "Since it's the first time we're eating together, I won't reduce the amount."
Yu Jiaojiao then said rather sarcastically, "You're so thin and you're still dieting? We usually call people like that... You should eat more later. The most important thing in our line of work is to have a healthy body. Nothing else matters."
He Jing remained expressionless: "Okay, thank you for your concern, Sister Jiaojiao. I understand."
Seeing that He Jing remained unmoved by all the sarcasm, Yu Jiaojiao had no choice but to back down and reluctantly shut her mouth.
When the dishes were served, Xiao Wang rubbed his hands excitedly: "Wow, so many delicious dishes, I'm really in for a feast today."
The people from the Energy Group and the Chemical Engineering Group were very happy. They didn't dare to order alcohol because it was expensive, but Yu Jiaojiao did. She ordered dozens of bottles of expensive red wine. As soon as the wine arrived, she rolled up her sleeves and said, "No one is allowed to leave until we're all drunk tonight."
One of the team members said, "Boss Jiao, we still need to drive home."
Yu Jiaojiao slammed her hand on the table and said, "What's there to be afraid of when you're driving? I'll call a designated driver for you later and I'll reimburse you!"
A cheer erupted from the table, and everyone began to eat and drink without any restraint.
He Jing was the only one who didn't like drinking during social occasions. She would only have a small drink when cooking or when she was bored. So she said, "I'm allergic to alcohol. You guys drink. I'll call a car for you for Sister Jiaojiao in a bit."
Yu Jiaojiao let out a cold sneer and glanced at her sideways: "Allergy? That's all an excuse. If you don't drink it, it means you look down on me."
