Ling Han's face suddenly darkened, but his tone was calm.
"You said that the planning department's dinner party was attended by all the bachelors in their department?"
"Nine out of ten men in the planning department are single. Other than a few directors who are older and married and don't participate in this kind of activity, it seems that almost all of them went. Although some of them are married, they still went to join in the fun …"
The work in the planning department of Pleasure had always been heavy. They had to work overtime five days a week. Sometimes, when they were called back on Saturday or Sunday, even if they were overseas, they had to buy a plane ticket and rush back immediately. This kind of work intensity caused a serious imbalance in the ratio of men and women in the department. Even if they recruited female employees every year, only a handful of them could last for more than half a year. Moreover, if they got married and had children later on, they would have to resign.
The work intensity was high, and the Planning Department was favored by the heavens. Huan Yu had specially set up a floor for them to work. To put it nicely, it was to be independent and not be disturbed by the outside world. But in reality, it was to be isolated from the world. It was extremely difficult to hook up with girls from other departments.
"Did President Ding of Century Prime call this afternoon …"
"Huh?" Qiao Mu was slightly stunned. He did not understand why they suddenly talked about clients when they were talking about the company. However, he had been by Ling Han's side for many years, so his reaction was trained. He hurriedly said, "There were three calls. One of them was from the assistant to confirm tomorrow's dinner, and the other two …"
"Call him and tell him that I have something to do tomorrow, so dinner will be changed to tonight."
Century Prime wanted to invest in the Pleasure Department, and their President Ding could not wait to call the Pleasure Department ten times a day. Ling Han intended to cooperate with them. After all, Century Prime had a lot of money, but he did not show it recently to keep them in suspense.
"President Ling, this … I'm afraid it's not very appropriate … over there …"
Qiao Mu showed a troubled expression. They had already made an appointment, so they could not change the time like this.
"Just say that Sheng Anran will be there."
Ling Han glanced at Qiao Mu. He had already stood up from the chair and started to put on his coat, not giving him any chance to refute.
Hearing Sheng Anran's name, Qiao Mu's face froze. A strange look flashed through his eyes, but he quickly nodded and made the call.
President Ding, who was at the peak of the century, was interested in Sheng Anran. This was a well-known fact.
Although the matter between Sheng Anran and Ling Han was well-known, after all, one was an entertainment star, and the other was a consortium leader. Ling Han had an absolute advantage in this kind of thing. Since he didn't take the initiative to admit Sheng Anran's identity in front of everyone, it was enough to prove that he didn't really care about this woman. Naturally, it was inevitable that people who were as powerful as Ling Han would pursue her.
After President Ding probed a few times, he understood that Ling Han was just playing with Sheng Anran. Women couldn't see through him, but as a man, he understood at a glance.
In a private room of a high-end Japanese restaurant.
Ye Huanyan tugged at Ji Xiaoyue, who was already drunk, and signaled her to stop drinking.
"Come, Secretary Ye, let me toast you. We've been colleagues for so long, but this seems to be the first time I've seen you come out for a meal with us …"
The person who raised the wine glass was Manager Xiao Wu, who was sitting across from Ye Huanyan. It was also because of his frequent toasts that Ji Xiaoyue drank like this.
"I already said that Yan Yan doesn't drink, so I'll drink this for her." As expected, Ji Xiaoyue put on a chivalrous appearance and went up to snatch the wine glass. Ye Huanyan hastily stopped her, and the moment she snatched the wine glass, Ji Xiaoyue collapsed on the tatami.
Manager Xiao Wu pushed up the glasses on his nose and smiled, "Ji Xiaoyue seems to have drunk too much.
"Secretary Ji seems to have drunk a little too much. It's better to drink less. I just want to toast Secretary Ye. Nothing will happen. The alcohol content of this wine is low."
When he said this, he also gave a look to the female interns beside Ye Huanyan.
These girls were not as naive and ignorant as Ye Huanyan thought. They were all eloquent, especially the girl named Xiao Xue, who was sitting next to Ye Huanyan. She raised the wine glass and smiled brightly.
"If Secretary Ye really can't drink, then I'll drink this wine for Secretary Ye."
Ye Huanyan frowned. If the news of a new intern drinking on behalf of her spread to the company, it would probably spread to everyone tonight. They would say that Ye Huanyan bullied the new intern, right?
"No need. How about this? Xiao Yue drank too much, so I have to send her back early. I'll drink this glass of wine as a gift to everyone. I can't play with you to the end."
Ye Huanyan raised the wine glass, and his tone was polite and courteous.
Compared to those interns who knew how to do things, and even some who went to the washroom with the vice president opposite them to do something shameful, strict and inflexible wasn't enough to describe them.
Manager Xiao Wu didn't stop him and watched as Ye Huanyan drank the wine.
"Can I?" Ye Huanyan put down the glass and looked at Manager Xiao Wu without a change in expression.
Her alcohol tolerance wasn't bad, especially after attending many banquets with Ling Han over the years. She had to pretend to be polite with those people as a secretary and drank on behalf of many people. She had drunk enough of those forced drinks, so now she felt nauseous when she saw wine. If it wasn't necessary, she would definitely not drink.
"Good alcohol tolerance, and you say you can't drink. I think Secretary Ye can drink a thousand glasses without getting drunk!"
Ye Huanyan smiled politely and lowered his head to support Ji Xiaoyue.
"The wine has been drunk, so the two of us will be leaving first. Thank you for your hospitality, managers."
After three rounds of wine, the managers at the banquet found their targets and got up one after another, preparing to leave together with Ye Huanyan.
"Xiao Li drank too much, I'll send her back. Xiao Xue, you can follow Manager Wu." The person who spoke was Manager Fei from Planning Department 2. He was a man in his forties with a wife and children, so he came to this kind of banquet. From the beginning, Ye Huanyan couldn't be bothered with him, but luckily he knew how to read the situation and didn't have the guts to provoke Ye Huanyan, so his target was the new intern, Xiao Li.
Xiao Li was also a person who knew how to do things. After drinking two glasses of wine, she didn't even know who she was anymore. She kept calling him Brother Fei, which gave everyone goosebumps.
Other than Manager Wu, the only ones who were sober were Xiao Xue, who had a good alcohol tolerance, and Ye Huanyan. The three of them saw Xiao Li and Manager Fei go out twice, and when they came back, their clothes were disheveled and their faces were flushed. They didn't need to think to know what happened.
"How about this, Secretary Ji drank a lot too, so I'll send the three of you back together. After all, I was the one who brought you here, so I have to be responsible for you."
Manager Wu stood up from the tatami and brushed the creases off his white shirt. Even in this mess, he still looked immaculately dressed.
Ye Huanyan frowned. "No need, Xiao Yue and I will just take a taxi …"
"At this time, the taxis are changing shifts, so you probably won't be able to get a taxi. Secretary Ye, don't worry. Two of you are sober, so I can't do anything to you, right? There are so many people here. If each of you kick me, I'll have to take sick leave tomorrow … "
Manager Wu smiled naturally, as if Ye Huanyan was measuring the heart of a gentleman with his own mean measure if she didn't agree.
