Me and my female roommates

A five-star hotel in Hangzhou.

Longtian Advertising's vice president and account manager Lu Sheng, account department business representative Wang Fang, planning department manager Shi Yan and Lin Xiyao were sitting in the box waiting for people from Huawang Group.

"Mr. Lu, do you think the boss of Huawang Group's planning department will come this time?" Shi Yan asked, pushing the black-framed glasses on her nose.

"That's what I heard from their deputy director." Lu Sheng took a sip of tea and nodded.

"That's strange. You didn't say you were coming before..."

Wang Fang said: "Manager Shi, what's so strange about this? This is a good thing. It shows that they value our company!"

Lin Xiyao stood aside quietly without saying anything, because she knew the reason behind it, it was all because of Cheng Mo.

"Manager Shi, you and Xiao Lin must cooperate with us later. Today's meal is very important!"

Shi Yan nodded quickly and said seriously to Lin Xiyao who was sitting next to her: "Xiao Lin, be smart later and do whatever I tell you to do. Don't mess up and embarrass our planning department."

"Oh, okay, okay, Manager Shi." Lin Xiyao responded quickly.

In fact, she was a little afraid of her superior Shi Yan, because not long after she joined the company, she saw Shi Yan scolding a female intern and making her cry, which left a big shadow in her heart.

After waiting for another ten minutes, people from the Planning Department of Huawang Group finally arrived.

It was common for Party A to be a little late, and the people from Longtian Advertising didn't think it was a big deal.

A total of four people came from Huawang Group. The leader was of course Hu Xing, director of the Planning Department. The other three were Deputy Director Chu Junjie, Dai Mu, manager of the Brand Management Department, and Kong Dexiang, specialist of the Planning Department.

"Sorry, I'm late." Hu Xing walked in and smiled brightly at the people from Long Tian Advertising. His eyes swept across the four people's faces one by one, and finally lingered on Lin Xiyao's face for a while.

"No, no, we just arrived a while ago." Lu Sheng said quickly.

Hu Xing smiled slightly, and after the two sides greeted each other and introduced themselves, they all sat down.

"Mr. Lu, are you trying to get us drunk?" Chu Junjie looked at the four bottles of Maotai on the table and laughed.

As he spoke, his eyes swept across the faces of the three women opposite him one by one. He glanced at Shi Yan and then skipped over her, then to Wang Fang, and finally his eyes kept drifting to Lin Xiyao's pretty face.

"How dare I? Let's just drink to our heart's content today. There's a lot of time to come!" Lu Sheng said with a smile.

The dishes began to arrive slowly, and the waiter opened the wine and poured it into the wine decanter.

There were eight people, and each of them had a small wine dispenser in front of them.

The smell of strong liquor kept entering Lin Xiyao's nose. She felt that if she was really asked to drink all the liquor in here today, she would definitely be drunk.

Except for Lin Xiyao, the other four people from Longtian Advertising have already taken the initiative to pour the wine.

Seeing Lin Xiyao standing there in a daze and not pouring the wine, Shi Yan kicked her.

Lin Xiyao quickly looked at Shi Yan.

Shi Yan frowned and looked at Lin Xiyao, then signaled her with her eyes to pour the wine immediately.

Lin Xiyao looked embarrassed. She knew that once the wine was poured, there would be no turning back.

Thinking of what Cheng Mo said before, Lin Xiyao glanced at Hu Xing, and mustered up the courage to say to Shi Yan: "Manager Shi, I can't drink alcohol, can I drink a beverage?"

Shi Yan immediately whispered, "No, are you special? How can you drink a beverage like that?"

Lu Sheng also noticed the situation on Lin Xiyao's side. He looked at Shi Yan and Lin Xiyao with a cold face, secretly cursing the two of them for what they were up to. If this big deal fell through, the two of them wouldn't have to come to the company anymore.

"Ahem—"

Lu Sheng coughed deliberately.

When Shi Yan turned around and saw Lu Sheng’s dark face, she knew that he was unhappy, so she hurriedly poured wine for Lin Xiyao.

"Manager Shi, I really can't drink this wine." Lin Xiyao grabbed the cup and took it away.

"You!" Shi Yan was about to explode with anger. Everything was fine before they came, but now he was doing this to her. Wasn't he deliberately embarrassing her?

If there wasn't someone here, she would have cursed Lin Xiyao to death.

Lu Sheng's face darkened even more. Just as he was thinking about how to ease the atmosphere, he heard Hu Xing take the initiative to ask, "What's wrong?"

Lin Xiyao looked at Hu Xing and said softly, "Mr. Hu, I'm sorry, I can't drink this wine."

Chu Junjie looked at Lin Xiyao with interest and said, "Little girl, what's so great about this wine? If we can drink it, then of course you have to drink it too!"

Lu Sheng ordered Lin Xiyao: "Xiao Lin, pour me some wine right now!"

Wang Fang looked at Lin Xiyao with some sympathy, but she couldn't get a word in.

Seeing that Lin Xiyao was holding the glass and refused to give it to her, Shi Yan said to the waiter, "Bring me another glass."

But Hu Xing raised his hand to stop him and said, "No need to take the cup. Since Xiaolin can't drink, don't force her."

He also asked considerately: "If you don't drink alcohol, why not have a drink? What would you like to drink?"

Lin Xiyao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Cheng Mo had not lied to her. She smiled and said, "I'll just drink orange juice."

Hu Xing nodded and said to the waiter, "Please bring me a jug of freshly squeezed orange juice."

"Xiao Lin, I won't let you drink anymore. You have to remember the things you have to do at work later."

"Okay, okay, I will, Mr. Hu." Lin Xiyao said as she bowed slightly forward.

This scene made everyone present a little confused, especially Shi Yan, who forgot to put down the hand holding the wine dispenser for a moment.

"Manager Shi, since you originally took Xiaolin's wine, isn't it your turn to drink it for her?" Hu Xing said to Shi Yan with a smile.

Shi Yan reacted and quickly gave a flattering smile, saying: "Of course... Of course there is no problem!"

Chu Junjie glanced at Hu Xing and Lin Xiyao, with an imperceptible smile on his lips.

He thought Hu Xing had a crush on Lin Xiyao, but he didn't know that Hu Xing was helping Cheng Mo "protect" her.

Lu Sheng's eyes flickered and he stared at Lin Xiyao for a few seconds, not knowing what he was thinking.

The entire meal was under the control of Party A, Hu Xing, so Lin Xiyao was particularly relaxed. She answered a few work-related questions in the middle and there was nothing else to do. During the meal, she drank a lot of orange juice and ate a lot of dishes.

When the dinner was over, Shi Yan was lying unconscious on the table.

Hu Xing stood up first and said, "Okay, let's stop here for today."

Lu Sheng quickly stood up and said, "Come on, Mr. Hu, let's move on to the next game!"

The main reason was that Hu Xing didn't reveal any useful information, which made him feel unsure and it was difficult for him to report to his boss when he returned.

Hu Xing shook his head. "Mr. Lu, you are too polite. Maybe next time."

Lu Sheng did not force it anymore and could only ask Chu Junjie later.

Lu Sheng, Wang Fang and Lin Xiyao escorted Hu Xing and others to the hotel entrance.

Before getting in the car, Hu Xing suddenly turned around, pointed at Lin Xiyao and said to Lu Sheng: "Xiao Lin is very professional. If you train her well, I believe it will be helpful for future cooperation."

Lu Sheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded and smiled: "Don't worry, Mr. Hu, our company has always attached great importance to the cultivation of talents!"

Hu Xing chuckled, turned around and got into the car, and he also did a favor for Cheng Mo.
