I returned to my seat pretending to be calm, and took the initiative to toast Manager Wang and several executives from Ruifeng Group.

Seeing me being so cooperative, Lin Qingqing couldn't help but say smugly, "That's the way to go. Young people working should know how to drink."

I drank cup after cup, engaging in a continuous battle.

Manager Wang across from me chuckled and downed a glass of white wine.

Seeing that I only took a small sip, he shook his head disapprovingly and said, "Come on, drink it all in one go!"

I smiled, pretended to drink by tilting my head back, and secretly wiped the white wine I drank on my sleeve.

Fortunately, I was wearing black today, with slightly loose sleeves, so nothing could be seen for the time being.

After a few rounds, everyone started to feel tipsy, and Manager Wang began to get handsy with me.

"Hey hey, Zhizhi, your skin is so fair and tender, it's great."

"Oh my, how come there's a mosquito here!"

"Smack—" I slapped Manager Wang hard on the face, leaving him dazed.

Then I immediately started rubbing his face, saying, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, let me blow on it for you."

Clearly drunk, Manager Wang's face was flushed, his eyes still unfocused. He chuckled a few times, then tried to grab me.

I quickly stood up, looked at Lin Qingqing, who was also starting to feel tipsy, and said, "Qingqing, how about I order some more dishes and more drinks from outside?"

Lin Qingqing leaned back in her chair, her face also showing a hint of blush, obviously a bit drunk, and waved her hand nonchalantly.

I grabbed my purse and headed outside.

To the waiter taking orders outside, I listed a series of dishes.

Boston lobster, caviar sashimi, and star grouper.

Order whatever is expensive, then I asked the waiters to bring in 10 bottles of Romanée-Conti, instructing them to open the bottles, pour them into glasses, and then bring them in.

It was said that the guests inside liked it that way.

When the waiters had everything ready to be served in the private room, I turned around and left.

Walking to the stone bridge outside, I could see the hotel's private room, where the curtain was slightly open, revealing Lin Qingqing's figure.

Through the glass window and the bustling street outside, I could see Lin Qingqing inside arguing with the waiter.

Then my phone rang.

I calmly switched it to silent mode.

Lin Qingqing was a department manager with the authority to claim expenses incurred during business entertainment from the company.

But today's expenses had already exceeded her budget.

Lin Qingqing couldn't afford to pay so much.

Unless she called someone to come and cover the costs for her.

Sure enough, in less than fifteen minutes, Yang Cheng hurriedly entered from outside the private room.
