When Jin Shuwen and Yip Chun Wen went in, it was already late, so the two of them found a remote seat. Jin Shuwen looked around, searching for Xu Ningsheng's shadow, and finally found him on the left in front of her.
She saw Xu Ningsheng holding a glass of red wine, drinking it in one gulp, with a faint smile on his face.
These years, Xu Ningsheng felt that his capacity for alcohol was getting better and better. Basically, he had that kind of large-scale dinner or dinner party every month, and it was common for him to be forced to drink. In the beginning, he would get drunk, but now, he had already practiced to not get drunk.
There were always a lot of people who liked to talk about things at the table. Xu Ningsheng was very smart, he didn't like to talk about things at the table, so every time he didn't want to drink, he would always pretend to be drunk, directly lying on the table, so that no one could force him to drink.
Xu Ningsheng's table was basically full of women, each of them wearing heavy makeup, each with their own merits.
"Deputy Director Xu is really more handsome in person than in photos," said a woman with curly hair. She was sitting on the left of Xu Ningsheng, taking advantage of the advantage of being close to Xu Ningsheng, so she smiled and flattered Xu Ningsheng.
Xu Ningsheng squinted his eyes, just glancing at the woman beside him. He didn't know what was going on, he just sat there inexplicably. He wanted to be alone, but as soon as he sat down, there were more than ten women flocking to him, making Xu Ningsheng very embarrassed, and he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.
Those women, Xu Ningsheng didn't know any of them, but looking at their clothes, Xu Ningsheng knew that they must be the socialites of the upper class. Xu Ningsheng was too lazy to deal with this group of people, and they made fun of Deputy Director Xu one after another, making Xu Ningsheng feel very helpless.
"Thank you for the compliment." Xu Ningsheng didn't know the woman, but he still smiled and said.
"Deputy Director Xu, my brother is in the second year of junior high school this year and is about to enter the third year of junior high school. However, this bastard doesn't like to study and his grades are always at the bottom of the class. I'm afraid that he won't be able to enter high school next year. Can you see if you can arrange for him to enter the No.1 Middle School of City A? If he can get in, I'll reward you handsomely." The curly-haired woman unexpectedly took the initiative to find a topic.
The other women at the dinner table frowned slightly and looked at her and Xu Ningsheng as if they were watching a good show. Xu Ningsheng was famous for his amiable attitude. After he became the deputy director of the Education Bureau, he often went back to the No. 1 Middle School of City A for research and sometimes taught. After all, it was necessary to rewrite the teaching materials, which must be practical.
Xu Ningsheng was not sloppy with his work. It could be said that he did everything himself.
It was really a good starting point to talk about his brother's grades. Everyone looked at Xu Ningsheng expectantly, waiting to see how he would answer. "First of all, the threshold of the No. 1 Middle School of City A is very high. You can only get in if you reach a certain passing line. Secondly, the study pressure in the No. 1 Middle School is very intense.
"First of all, No.1 Middle School in City A itself has a very high threshold. You have to reach a certain cut-off line to get in. Secondly, the pressure of studying in No.1 Middle School is very intense. If your brother doesn't like studying, it's useless for him to go there. He won't be able to keep up with the pace of others, and he'll be tired himself. Instead of that, I suggest your brother to learn a talent and enter the art industry in the future. It's also quite good. After all, some people are born not to like studying, and it's very normal." Xu Ningsheng turned his head, stared coldly at the woman beside him, and answered very cleverly.
Everyone really wanted to give him full marks for this answer. He refused politely and didn't hurt the woman. He also gave the curly-haired woman a way out. It was really very clever.
The woman frowned silently and bit her lip with a wronged look. She said, "In fact … it's not my original intention. It's just that our family has been doing business for generations. My father will definitely give the company to my brother in the future. My brother doesn't know how to study and has no diploma. How can he inherit the family business in the future?"
"Miss, forgive me for being blunt, but how your brother inherits the family business is your family's business. Deputy Director Xu, I have something to talk to you about." Ye Junwen's face was cold, and no one knew when he appeared beside Xu Ningsheng.
The curly-haired woman raised her head with a stunned expression. She didn't know who was so untactful to talk here. Until she saw the deep eyes of Yip Chun Wen, she immediately frowned and lowered her head.
There was doubt in Xu Ningsheng's eyes. He didn't know what Yip Chun Wen was up to, but it was better than sitting with this group of complicated women. He raised his lips and smiled. "Okay."
After that, Xu Ningsheng followed Yip Chun Wen and went to the table where Jin Shuwen was sitting.
There weren't many people sitting at Jin Shuwen's table. There were only seven people sitting at the table. Their round table could accommodate 18 people. Therefore, the distance between the people at their table was very far.
Xu Ningsheng followed Yip Chun Wen silently. He had a strange feeling in his heart.
Yip Chun Wen suddenly asked Xu Ningsheng to sit down with a very polite expression. It made Xu Ningsheng a little confused. He felt more and more nervous.
"Hey, Ah Sheng." Jin Shuwen squinted her eyes and smiled. She greeted Xu Ningsheng in a gentle tone.
Ye Junwen elegantly raised his glass of red wine and poured it into the glass with his well-defined fingers. After pouring two glasses of red wine, he handed one to Xu Ningsheng and bluntly said, "I was originally narrow-minded, so I want to apologize to you. I hope that from today onwards, we can become friends."
Xu Ningsheng stared straight at Yip Chun Wen. He said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes, "When did we become enemies?"
"Ahem … Just tell me if you are willing or not. I am a straightforward person. I don't like to be wishy-washy." Yip Chun Wen curled his lips. There was a bit of arrogance on his handsome face. However, his attitude was obviously much more relaxed than before.
Xu Ningsheng was stunned. He said bluntly, "I am willing. Of course, I am willing. One more friend means one less enemy. Besides, you have misunderstood me all these years."
Yip Chun Wen held back his smile. He raised his glass of red wine and said, "After drinking this glass of wine, we are friends. I will drink first."
Xu Ningsheng quickly raised his glass of red wine and clinked glasses with Yip Chun Wen. The two glasses clinked together and made a clear sound. It represented the beginning of their revolutionary friendship.
No matter what misunderstandings or conflicts they had had, they were all in the past. From now on, they were friends.
Xu Ningsheng and Yip Chun Wen were not pretentious men. They didn't like to talk a lot. Instead, they liked to express their hearts with practical actions.
