C29 Dinner

After the dishes were served, Gu Shuli suggested that they drink together. Although Zhao Xinyu looked at the cup and was worried, she could not dampen her master's mood with the first cup. So she could only frown and squeeze out a stiff smile. She held the cup and tried hard to swallow it.

She did not know that her series of actions had fallen into Zhong Tong's eyes.

When Zhong Tong heard Gu Shuli's persuasion, he wanted to stop it, but he was afraid that he would see the relationship between them. He wanted to make things difficult for Zhao Xinyu and wait for her to ask for help, but he did not expect to see Zhao Xinyu frowning and drinking it happily.

Zhong Tong looked at Zhao Xinyu drinking with practiced movements, and his sharp eagle eyes sunk. He thought in his heart, Could this also have something to do with the experience that he could not find out? He remembered that Zhao Xinyu used to get drunk when she was drunk.

"Miss Tong Nian, it's nice to meet you. Let's continue to work together in the future. Cheers!"

Gu Shuli said. Zhao Xinyu, who was originally a bit absent-minded, could only pick up the cup again. Her movements were elegant and professional as she clinked the cup with Gu Shuli. After that, she gritted her teeth and poured the wine into her mouth.

Zhong Tong seemed to be lazily leaning against the back of the chair. He crossed his arms around his chest and looked at the two of them after drinking the wine in the cup. His eyes looked at the table and said faintly, "Miss Tong Nian's tolerance is not bad. One look and you can tell that she is a person who has been through many battlefields. It's just that I don't know how many battles she has gone through to train her tolerance."

Zhao Xinyu knew that Zhong Tong was mocking her. The last time he said how many men she had gone through, and this time he said how many meals she had gone through. Didn't he just say it secretly? Am I a prostitute?

Enduring the discomfort after drinking with her empty stomach, Zhao Xinyu curled her lips and said with a smile that was like fireworks, "Thank you for your praise, Director Zhong. I am just making a living. How can I compare to people like you who can control the fate of others as you wish?"

When Zhong Tong heard Zhao Xinyu's reply, the corner of his mouth slightly curled and then coldly said, "That Miss Tong Nian really praises us too much. Compared to you guys who can act on the stage and change the fate of others, we are nothing!"

Zhao Xinyu could hear Zhong Tong's mockery, but she noticed that the people in the room were looking at them with surprise and bewilderment. In order to avoid suspicion, they smiled awkwardly and did not reply. Instead, they picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of tea.

Gu Shuli was a very smart person. He had been suspicious of Zhong Tong's initiative just now. Now that he heard their meaningful conversation, he felt that there was something wrong with the two of them.

However, when he saw the conversation between the two of them, he did not seem to be full of enthusiasm. It seemed that they were opposing each other. In order to ease this special atmosphere, Gu Shuli simply sat on the other side of Zhao Xinyu. Then, he took the initiative to pour water for her and asked politely.

"Miss Tong Nian, are you preparing to stay in the country this time, or are you going to stay for a short period of time?"

"I will first fulfill the few contracts that I have on hand. Then, I will decide after looking at them."

Actually, Zhao Xinyu really wanted to say that she was planning to stay and develop for a long time. Otherwise, she would not have accepted a few contracts at the same time.

It was just that when she faced Zhong Tong, who was entangled with her as soon as he came back, she saw that he was not repentant and even targeted her everywhere. It was as if she was the one who made a mistake. It made her heart feel very stifled, so she did not say that she wanted to stay for long.
