Song Lingshan smiled faintly, "I'm of average appearance, you're too kind."
The group chuckled. "Mr. Song is too modest."
After exchanging a few pleasantries with the group, Song Lingshan got straight to the point and got directly to the project they were collaborating on.
Compared to Song Lingshan's composure, Su Luo sitting next to her was clearly extremely awkward.
This was his first time attending such an event, where everyone present was a multi-millionaire, while he was just a lowly employee.
He couldn't join in the conversation about the projects everyone was discussing, and even the small talk was full of hidden meanings. He couldn't quite process it and didn't understand the underlying implications at all.
After we'd talked for a while, someone finally mentioned him.
"And this is..."
Song Lingshan glanced at him and explained, "My assistant is Su Luo."
The man picked up his wine glass, his eyes full of admiration.
"Hello, Ms. Su."
Su Luo cursed inwardly, realizing that Su Luo had mistaken him for a girl again, but he couldn't easily correct him in this situation.
He could only obediently raise his glass and say, "Hello, Mr. Zhang."
The two clinked glasses, and the other person downed the entire drink in one gulp.
Su Luo had no choice but to grit his teeth and finish it; the Moutai was very spicy and had a high alcohol content.
After just one cup, Su Luo's face turned red, and her stomach felt burning.
The man, somewhat tipsy, exclaimed, "Miss Su, you have an incredible capacity!"
"Let me toast you again..." The man said, glancing at Song Lingshan beside Su Luo. Seeing that she didn't seem to mind, he raised his glass to Su Luo again.
"..."
Su Luo really didn't want to drink anymore; the alcohol content was too high. She looked at Song Lingshan with pleading eyes.
Song Lingshan, however, kept her head down and ate her food, showing no intention of paying him any attention.
Su Luo said tactfully, "Mr. Zhang, please eat first, let me catch my breath."
"Alright, Mr. Song, then I'll toast you."
The man then set his sights on Song Lingshan.
Song Lingshan glanced at Su Luo, raised her chin slightly, and gestured for him to help her fend off the drinks.
Su Luo gritted her teeth and reluctantly picked up her glass. "Mr. Zhang, I'm feeling better now. Let me drink with you instead."
After finishing this drink, the other two men next to Mr. Zhang started causing trouble again.
There was nothing he could do; he was already there, and as Song Lingshan's subordinate, it was only right that he shielded her from the drinks.
After several drinks, Su Luo was already exhausted; her hand holding the glass was trembling.
The men must continue.
Song Lingshan glanced coldly at the group, "That's enough."
The group immediately backed down and stopped making things difficult for Su Luo.
Su Luo breathed a sigh of relief, but finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed onto the table with a thud.
Song Lingshan instructed the security guards to lift the person into the car, place him in the passenger seat, and thoughtfully fasten his seatbelt.
I drove back to my place.
One hour later.
Upon arriving at the villa, two servants were already waiting at the door and helped the unconscious Su Luo inside.
Once the servants arrived at Song Lingshan's bedroom, they discreetly withdrew.
Song Lingshan sat on the edge of the bed, quietly watching Su Luo with her eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought.
Su Luo felt a sharp pain in her stomach, sat up abruptly, and staggered toward the bathroom in the bedroom.
He lifted the toilet lid and started vomiting violently.
"vomit……"
Song Lingshan leaned lazily against the door frame, propping her long legs up, and chuckled softly.
Are you feeling unwell?
Su Luo almost cried out in tears, then flushed the toilet to remove her vomit.
With red eyes, he looked at Song Lingshan and saw that she still had that aloof attitude. A nameless anger welled up in his heart, and he said irritably.
"You know perfectly well what you're doing."
He clearly didn't want to attend the social event; it wasn't even his responsibility.
