"Then I'm honored. I hope your girlfriend won't be jealous." Kong Jing smiled.
Chen Hansheng's status wasn't high enough, and he wasn't young either. For Kong Jing, who was used to seeing all kinds of men at social gatherings, she didn't take Chen Hansheng's words to heart.
Unless it was "Mr. Chen", who was in his thirties and had a successful career, who expressed his feelings.
The atmosphere now was not bad. Outside the park, there was an endless stream of traffic. Inside the park, there were people strolling leisurely. The wind of late autumn blew the leaves of the sycamore tree gently. From time to time, a piece of leaf would fall and slowly drift onto the cobblestone path.
Not far away, there were some aunties wearing uniforms practicing dancing. Square dancing wasn't as popular now as it would be in the future. Those who had time to dance after meals were usually employees or families with a good economic foundation.
On the other hand, the popularity of square dancing meant that the national economy and living conditions were still improving. After all, one could only think about exercising when one was full.
"Auntie, buy a bouquet of flowers."
Suddenly, a girl around 10 years old ran over with a basket of flowers.
Kong Jing waved her hand. She was already past that age. Chen Hansheng explained to the girl, "It's raining outside. It's not easy to walk with flowers."
The girl raised her head. The moon was bright and the stars were dense in the sky. She pouted and said, "There's still a moon. Where is the rain?"
Chen Hansheng smiled and said, "There's only sister here. Where's the auntie?"
The flower girl reacted quickly and caught up with Kong Jing, "Sister, can I buy a bouquet of flowers?"
Kong Jing glared at Chen Hansheng. Chen Hansheng smiled and pretended not to see. In the end, she could only take out 2 yuan to buy a bouquet of flowers.
"I didn't expect you to be so good at saying nice things."
Kong Jing handed the flowers to Chen Hansheng and said, "Here's a gift for you. When you go back, bring it to the girls in the university."
This kind of action was very much in line with Kong Jing's experience. If it was Little Yu 'er's age, Chen Hansheng might have bought all the flowers just now in order to make the beauty smile. Then, in front of everyone, he would have knelt down on one knee and presented it to Little Yu' er.
But for Kong Jing, doing that would be too childish. She didn't need these flowers, and she looked down on this kind of behavior. So, Chen Hansheng didn't even want to pay 2 yuan.
"Which school did Sister Jing graduate from?"
"Eastern Guangdong Finance University."
"The one from the Dragon Cave?"
"You know that too?"
"Oh, my high school classmate went there."
The two of them chatted casually about school. Kong Jing was full of nostalgia. "After leaving school, I realized that compared to the complicated society, school is a pure land. I really want to go back to the age of 18 and go to university again. Or do business on campus."
"Unfortunately, this is just a luxurious wish."
Kong Jing said faintly.
Chen Hansheng smiled. "As long as you want to, nothing is impossible."
Kong Jing thought that Chen Hansheng was comforting her. She shook her head and walked back to the hotel.
The second and third days were similar. Meeting during the day, Kong Jing socialized at night. Then, Chen Hansheng waited downstairs with warm milk and accompanied Kong Jing to sober up in the park.
It was strange. During these times, Chen Hansheng didn't talk about the express delivery market at Xianlin University. Sometimes, he would rather have nothing to talk about. He just quietly accompanied her for a walk and didn't talk about business at all.
But the more he was like this, the more harmonious his relationship with Kong Jing became.
At the end of the meeting on the fourth day, Kong Jing suddenly said to Chen Hansheng, "A few days ago, I could still use the meeting as an excuse. Now that the meeting is over, the excuse of not drinking probably won't work. Tonight might be a tough battle. If you have time, stay by my side and accompany me."
"I'm free." Chen Hansheng said immediately.
Perhaps the last time he sent Kong Jing home after she got drunk, coupled with the fact that they had been keeping a distance from each other recently, young lady Kong trusted Chen Hansheng more.
"I heard from Old Zhong that you have a good alcohol tolerance. Maybe I need you to help me drink two glasses."
"I will listen to Sister Jing." Chen Hansheng promised.
… …
Sure enough, as Kong Jing expected, after the meeting ended, everyone was very excited. The eyes of the men who looked at the white wine were all shining.
Most of the people at Kong Jing's table were managers of Shentong Express Delivery. There were both men and women. When drinking, women were naturally the focus of attention, especially a charming young woman like Kong Jing.
After all, greasy middle-aged men all liked to see beautiful women drunk. Even if they knew that they didn't have much of a chance, they would still feel a kind of abnormal pleasure after seeing her vomit.
Dirty jokes came one after another. Some of the jokes that were too connotative took a while to react.
For example, when the waiter served a plate of scrambled eggs with chives, a middle-aged bald manager took a look and said, "Yo, Madam Le is here."
The woman next to them was very strange, "Isn't Madam Le a chicken spirit? Why is it chives?"
The big bald man stretched out his hand and touched his head, "You can ask the doctor about the effect of chives. In short, during the time when my family was preparing to have a child, I ate so much chives and chives that I almost vomited."
"Is it effective?" Someone asked.
"Of course."
The bald man stretched out three fingers and said ambiguously, "Triplets. My wife is also satisfied, so I call chives' Madam Le '."
Everyone at the table showed a smile that said "I understand", and then raised their glasses to toast with this topic.
Chen Hansheng actually liked this kind of occasion very much. If it weren't for the fact that he had been firmly suppressing his strength to maintain his image in front of Kong Jing, he would have joined the group of jokes.
If "Madam Le" was a topic of health care, then the speed of the car below couldn't be controlled. One after another, they shook their heads and drank to liven things up.
However, the women at the table were not for nothing, especially Kong Jing. She knew everything but pretended that she didn't know anything. She responded to all kinds of hints casually. Although she drank a lot, she didn't fall into any trap.
Kong Jing didn't fall into the trap. Seeing that she didn't embarrass herself, the men at the table were unhappy. "Madam Le," the bald man came over with a wine glass and wine glass, "Manager Kong, last time when we went to Jianye, I am very grateful for your hospitality. I specially changed to a large wine glass to drink with you."
Kong Jing smiled and declined, "You can't only thank me. At that time, Mr. Liu and Mr. Chang were also there. This glass of wine can be saved for next time."
The bald man checkmated Kong Jing, "Since they are not here, you can drink on their behalf. Let's drink three glasses in a row."
The people at the table clapped and cheered, but Kong Jing was unmoved and insisted on drinking only one glass. The bald man reluctantly clinked glasses with her and went back.
Seeing this scene, Chen Hansheng thought that Kong Jing wouldn't be drunk tonight. At most, she would be a little tipsy.
While he was thinking, a large group of people suddenly walked over. The middle-aged man in the lead had a sleek hairstyle, waving his hand as he walked.
When Kong Jing saw him, her thin eyebrows frowned, but she stood up and greeted everyone, "Mr. Zhou."
"Mr. Zhou" had a relatively high status in Shentong. He ignored the others and raised his wine glass to Kong Jing, "I heard that you were in a meeting in Hucheng, so I rushed back. Thinking about it, I was still in Jianye in September. Time flies."
Chen Hansheng also recognized this "Mr. Zhou". When Kong Jing was drunk last time, he was also at the scene. He had been trying to get close to Kong Jing and take advantage of her. Fortunately, he was stopped by Liu Zhizhou.
Kong Jing wouldn't refuse the face of a company leader in a public place. She raised her glass and drank.
However, there were many people following Mr. Zhou. They all wanted to toast with Kong Jing.
Kong Jing naturally didn't want to, but she couldn't get angry. She looked at Chen Hansheng as if asking for help.
Chen Hansheng didn't stand out immediately. He deliberately waited for Kong Jing to drink a few more glasses. When he felt that she couldn't take it anymore, he pushed the crowd and stood out.
Why did he wait for her to drink a few more glasses?
Firstly, it was because the order of the toast was from the highest to the lowest. The people who clinked glasses with Kong Jing were all the higher-ups of Shentong Company. Chen Hansheng didn't want to publicly offend them.
Secondly, Kong Jing felt uncomfortable if she didn't drink. How would she remember Chen Hansheng's kindness and how would she hate Shentong Company even more?
Thirdly, she would only have a chance when she was drunk.
