C9 Intentionally Pouring Wine
Ye Qingqing and the company applied for sick leave. After lying in the hospital for a week, she went through the discharge procedure alone.
The entertainment industry was full of news. Very soon, Ye Qingqing's affair with Lih Chen faded. Furthermore, she had already divorced Lih Chen, so the media naturally would not hold back on this matter.
After moving out of the Lih family, Ye Qingqing's life became more and more monotonous. Every day, it was two o'clock and one line. She even felt that the rest of her life had passed like this.
The Ye family Bay was about to open for business. There was a banquet with the person in charge of the Lih's Group at night. Director Zhang specifically asked Ye Qingqing to join him.
Ye Qingqing wanted to reject him in an instant because the Ye family Bay project was handled by the Lih's Group. She was very afraid to see Lih Chen.
But then she felt relieved. Why would a high and mighty CEO like Lih Chen personally attend a small wine party?
At night, Ye Qingqing changed into the clothes prepared by the company for her. She usually wore too rigid and serious clothing at work, so it was not suitable for her to attend the banquet.
The location of the drinking party was set at Kaedeian Hotel in A City. Ye Qingqing followed Director Zhang into the private room. The people who should have come were almost all there. Without Lih Chen, Ye Qingqing could not help but feel relieved.
The person in charge of Lih's Group was a fat man who was more than half a century old and had a fat face. He naturally knew Ye Qingqing and also knew that Ye Qingqing had divorced Lih Chen.
"Miss Ye, long time no see." The man took the initiative to reach out his hand.
Ye Qingqing also reached out and shook hands with the man. She smiled and said, "Long time no see, Manager Xu."
However, after the necessary etiquette, Manager Xu did not let go.
He was originally a senior in Lih's Group. Ever since Lih Chen took over the company, he had been demoted to a small project manager. He had accumulated resentment in his heart for a long time.
So the moment he saw Ye Qingqing, he had made up his mind to use her to take revenge on Lih Chen.
Getting on Lih Chen's ex-wife sounded very satisfying.
Ye Qingqing glanced at the man who was looking at her with a lustful look and said without batting an eyelid, "Manager Xu, quickly sit down. We, Director Zhang, have come here personally to discuss matters."
When they took their seats, Ye Qingqing specially found a seat further away from Manager Xu and sat down. She did not have any background now and did not want to cause trouble.
However, being far away did not mean that Manager Xu would let her go. Ye Qingqing was continuously drank a few glasses of wine.
"I have long heard that Miss Ye was very bold. At that time, I was wondering why Director Lih did not poach Miss Ye to our company!" Manager Xu said half-jokingly.
This topic could be said to be very sensitive. There was a moment of awkwardness at the table.
Ye Qingqing's expression did not change. She smiled and said, "I am more willing to work with Director Zhang. Besides, Lih's Group is not suitable for people with limited abilities like me."
"Miss Ye is modest! Come, let's drink!" Manager Xu said and drank another glass. Ye Qingqing could only drink another glass.
At this moment, her head was already dizzy. She knew very well how shallow her alcohol tolerance was, but she did not expect to encounter this kind of situation tonight.
At this time, the person sitting beside Ye Qingqing picked up the phone and went out. Manager Xu held the glass and shakily sat beside her.
"Miss Ye's alcohol tolerance is so good. Cheers again!" Manager Xu said as he poured another glass of Maotai for Ye Qingqing.
"Manager Xu, I really can't take it anymore. I can't drink anymore." Ye Qingqing only felt that her stomach was very uncomfortable. She shook her head and barely managed to stay awake.
Manager Xu placed the wine glass on the table with a bang and said with a gloomy face, "What, you are not willing to drink with me after drinking a few glasses of wine? Do you think you are still Mrs. Lih and look down on me, the manager?"
This was obviously using this as an excuse. Ye Qingqing suppressed her anger and said with a smile, "How could I, Manager Xu, I just..."
" Then drink it for me. Otherwise, don't talk about tonight's matter anymore! " Manager Xu interrupted Ye Qingqing's unfinished words.
Ye Qingqing looked at Director Zhang for help, but Director Zhang lowered his head. Obviously, he did not want to intervene.
"Okay. As long as Manager Xu is happy, I will drink." Ye Qingqing gritted her teeth and drank a whole glass of white wine.
Ye Qingqing drank too quickly and coughed violently. Then her stomach was overturned. She covered her mouth and nodded slightly to the others before running out of the room.
Ye Qingqing rushed straight into the bathroom and hugged the toilet bowl to throw up.
She did not eat much the whole day. At this moment, her stomach was mostly filled with wine.
She vomited till the end, and only retching was left. Her stomach was very uncomfortable.
A glass of water was handed to her. Ye Qingqing did not even think about taking it over to drink a large mouthful of it to rinse her mouth. She looked up to thank him but found that it was Lih Chen.
At this moment, she was so drunk that her consciousness was unclear. She rubbed her eyes and thought that she had seen wrongly.
"Why are you here?" Ye Qingqing's eyes were blurred and she wanted to stand up in a daze.
Lih Chen said with a dark face, "I should ask you, why are you here?" This was the men's washroom. At this moment, everyone who went in and out of the washroom looked at Ye Qingqing strangely.
"I..." Ye Qingqing did drink too much. She shook her head vigorously. "I should go back. Go back..." As she spoke, she walked into the washroom and reached out to open the door.
