Although it was just a casual conversation before lunch, Ying Lee felt that she was already tired of socializing.

Ying Lee tried her best to talk to the people in front of her, hoping that she would do her best to be generous, not to be pretentious, and not appear to be immature. However, this was the first time he had the mindset of making friends for the sake of making friends, so it was going to be a bit difficult for him.

As dinner approached, Ying Lee made an excuse to go to the washroom and secretly left the hall by herself.

She was indeed still too young. In this kind of situation, she couldn't be completely at ease.

Outside the hall was the corridor, and below it was the hall on the first floor. People came and went in all directions, giving off the splendor of the green lanterns and red wine.

In the end, Ying Lee went to the end of the corridor to catch her breath.

Through the French windows in front of her, Ying Lee looked at the world shrouded in darkness. She suddenly felt trapped.

"This is my first time participating in an occasion like this. It's really hard to get used to." Unknowingly, Wei Jianming had arrived behind Ying Lee. He looked down at Ying Lee's face and asked, "Can you still hold on? If not, don't force yourself. I can find an excuse for you to leave. "

"No, no, I'm fine, I'm fine." Ying Lee replied nervously because she was afraid that this was Wei Jianming's "Internship Examination". If she backed off, she would have to say her farewells.

However, Wei Jianming slightly frowned and asked: "What happened? I think there's something wrong with you today. "

Ying Lee shook her head in denial. "It's fine, I'm fine. Really."

Wei Jianming slightly squinted his eyes as if he suddenly remembered something. Then, as if he saw through everything, he crossed his arms over his chest and said: "Did that bastard Cheng Wei say something to you?"

"Cheng Wei?" Ying Lee was completely unfamiliar with this name.

Wei Jianming explained, "It's the model teacher that I told you to contact."

"Tutor Brother." Only then did Ying Lee realize, "So his name is Cheng Wei."

Wei Jianming frowned and said: "He's older than me, he belongs to your uncle's generation."

"No way." "Ying Lee could hardly believe it." But he looks so young. I don't think he's much older than me. "

"It's just a baby face." Wei Jianming said with a cold face, "This guy is very capable and good at enlightening people. It's just that his character isn't that good, and he likes to play pranks every now and then. "No matter what bad things he said about me to you today, you should try to ignore it. Don't let him affect your judgement."

What Wei Jianming said made Ying Lee at a loss. At the same time, she felt a sense of relief. So it was Cheng Wei joking with her from beginning to end?

Wasn't that person's ability to prank was too great? He had spoken so confidently, causing her to feel uneasy all day. Yet, the result was that he was lying. Ying Lee was extremely regretful in her heart. She actually thought of Wei Jianming as a cold and strict devil because of a prank.

"Alright, if there are no more mental barriers, we should go in. The meal is about to start."

"Oh, okay." Ying Lee nodded and immediately followed Wei Jianming back.

When he returned to the hall, most of the people had already taken their seats, leaving the empty seats unconnected.

Ying Lee was slightly flustered by this. This meant that he and Wei Jianming couldn't sit together. Although Ying Lee didn't want Wei Jianming to act as a cover at the beginning, but she really had to sit apart from Wei Jianming. Furthermore, it was in the middle of a crowd that she was completely unfamiliar with.

"Don't worry, we're all familiar with each other. Go sit beside Mr Zhang." Wei Jianming said.

Hearing this, a middle-aged man sitting on the right side of the round table smiled amiably and waved at Ying Lee.

Ying Lee walked over and sat down politely.

Afterwards, the other people on the table and mountain let out a burst of laughter. One of them said, "None of us won the bet. It seems that Old Zhang is still the most trusted one."

"There's nothing we can do about that. Who asked Old Zhang to have a face that everyone loves. Even if he is old, he would still be favored by others, not to mention how many women he provoked when he was young."

Everyone mocked, but Old Zhang, who was called Mr Zhang, also calmly smiled and said: "You were all tricked by Mr. Wei, he didn't push Miss Ying over just for our face, because I was the only one here to design and develop clothing, so of course the little girl sat here so that we could get to know each other and talk about cooperation."

So, without leaving a trace, he switched the topic to Wei Jianming. Mr Zhang was now free.

"Isn't it too direct?"

"Yeah, it's not enough."

"So we should be wronged if we don't do clothing development?"

Everyone started talking and started firing at Wei Jianming.

Wei Jianming did not put on airs and only said: "Ying Lee is a rookie that I think highly of. It's just that the starting point is a bit difficult. All of you are my old friends. In the future, Ying Lee will be rid of you all. "

"Take care of, we have to take care of you." Take care of, we have to take care of you. Everyone agreed.

"But taking care of him is one thing, we will give you some face, but Lili can't just stay out of this, can she?" What he meant was that Ying Lee should have said something.

Ying Lee didn't have many similar experiences, but she knew what to do.

She picked up her wine cup from the table in front of her and said, "Thank you, seniors. Ying Lee will be the first to pay her respects."

However, someone at the table immediately objected and said, "Do you want to toast us with a glass of wine? This sincerity is really questionable! "

There were over twenty men and women at the table. Even if he was holding a small cup in his hand, a cup for each person was definitely not a small amount. Ying Lee looked a little embarrassed. She finally knew why Wei Jianming wanted to ask her how drunk she was.

In the end, Ying Lee had no choice but to fill up the table with people, giving each other a round toast one by one.

After drinking for more than 20 cups, Ying Lee felt light-headed and her entire world was swaying before her eyes. Fortunately, her alcohol tolerance seemed to be better than she had expected, and her consciousness was still very clear.

Later, at the dinner table, someone suggested that Ying Lee had paid her respects to everyone and that they should return the compliment back to her. Ying Lee had to force herself to drink a few cups with some of them, but she felt that she couldn't hold on much longer.

In the end, it was Wei Jianming who helped to provide cover, as well as Wu Tie, who helped Ying Lee. Otherwise, Ying Lee would have been drunk on the spot tonight.

Ying Lee only felt drowsy as she sat in the car after the meal ended at ten o'clock.

Just as Ying Lee predicted, Shi Yuze was someone she could easily get rid of. This person was truly a devil. No matter where she went, she wouldn't be able to escape from his grasp.
