Lin Congzhi's attitude was firm: "I won't give it to you."
Jiang Yimei said coldly, "Give it to me now!"
Lin Congzhi remained calm in the face of danger: "No!"
Jiang Yimei was furious and had no choice but to snatch it.
Lin Congzhi did everything in his power to protect the wine glass and prevent her from succeeding.
In the ensuing commotion, the wine in the cups was spilled without anyone noticing.
Mr. Li, who had been holding a wine glass the whole time, had a terribly dark and gloomy face.
These two completely disregarded him! He's a business partner and a major client, after all. They should at least give him some face and stop arguing here.
"clatter!"
He slammed his wine glass down on the table, spilling a lot of wine. President Li, his face contorted with rage, glared at Lin Congzhi and Jiang Yimei: "Are you two ever going to stop?"
Hearing the sound of the wine glass slamming onto the table, Lin Congzhi and Jiang Yimei, who were arguing over the glass, both looked at President Li across from them.
Realizing that Lin Congzhi was a business prodigy, President Li's tone softened slightly: "You are a couple, you should trust, respect and tolerate each other. What's the point of you arguing and fighting to the death here?"
He thought his kind words would earn their approval and respect, but instead he was met with a barrage of insults: "You and him are the couple!"
Mr. Li was completely dumbfounded and stunned.
What's going on here? They've been so open and aboveboard, what's wrong with admitting it?
He simply couldn't understand what Jiang Yimei and Lin Congzhi were doing and saying.
After reprimanding President Li, Jiang Yimei turned to Lin Congzhi and asked, "Lin Congzhi, why did you drink for me?"
Lin Congzhi explained the reason: "You'll be knocked out after just one cup of this kind of liquor; you can't drink it."
He remembered that Jiang Yimei used to be unable to drink baijiu (Chinese liquor), otherwise she would easily get drunk.
Jiang Yimei suddenly understood why Lin Congzhi had been showing off, but she still couldn't understand: "What does my downfall have to do with you?"
Lin Congzhi replied matter-of-factly, "Of course it's related. What am I supposed to do if you were to fall into a coma due to alcohol poisoning?"
Looking at that worried face, Jiang Yimei's cold heart suddenly warmed.
Lin Congzhi did everything he could to stop her, all for the sake of her health.
She does get drunk easily from baijiu (Chinese liquor), but after years of socializing, her alcohol tolerance has improved slightly, so a small glass of baijiu is not life-threatening for her.
Lin Congzhi cared about her, and she cared about Lin Congzhi in return: "Then why don't you do it too?"
Lin Congzhi explained, "I am physically strong and used to it, so I don't get drunk easily."
Jiang Yimei asked softly, "How do you know my alcohol tolerance hasn't improved?"
Lin Congzhi said sternly, "Regardless of whether you get promoted or not, you are not allowed to drink this kind of high-proof liquor."
Jiang Yimei could no longer hide it and revealed her motive for grabbing the wine glass: "You have injuries and you have to drive, so you shouldn't be drinking strong liquor."
Upon hearing this, President Li suddenly realized what was going on.
It seems that both of them are concerned about each other's health and safety, which is why they are arguing here.
"You still say you're not a couple? I think you practically are."
He shook his head and smiled bitterly to himself, feeling old and wondering what young people these days were thinking.
Being outmaneuvered by the girl, Lin Congzhi felt both warm-hearted and somewhat at a loss, so he could only force himself to be strong: "I... my injury has long since healed, Xiao Kai can drive the car."
Jiang Yimei retorted, "You're just putting on a brave face."
