Their dinner was held in a private restaurant in B City. The place was not considered remote, but it was rather secluded. The decorations were not particularly extravagant, but every layout was very exquisitely designed. It was said that the owner was a descendant of the imperial chef who cooked for the palace during the Qing Dynasty.
When they walked into the private room, it was already full of people. There was only one seat left at the round table. It was probably reserved for Liang Feifan.
"Mr. Liang is here!"
Someone suddenly shouted in the midst of the slightly noisy crowd. Instantly, everyone in the room turned to the door and paid their respects.
"Sorry for the delay. My flight was delayed. Sorry to keep you waiting." Liang Feifan smiled faintly and strode in. He immediately unbuttoned his jacket. Bai Lu hurriedly stepped forward to take his jacket and passed it to the waiter beside him. Liang Feifan pulled up his trousers and sat at the highest seat.
He casually picked up the glass in front of him with a very faint smile on his face. His voice was deep as he said, "I'll punish myself by drinking three glasses first!"
Bai Lu watched as he drank three glasses of white wine in one go. He was a little worried.
He probably hadn't eaten anything yet. Moreover, his stomach hurt as soon as he got off the plane. Now that he was drinking on an empty stomach, wasn't he going against his stomach?
"Mr. Liang, you have a good tolerance for alcohol! Actually, we didn't wait that long. Come, come, let's all sit down! "
Someone had spoken, and everyone had already sat down. Only Bai Lu stood behind Liang Feifan. A middle-aged man raised his wine glass and stood up with a smile. It was only then that he noticed Bai Lu, who had yet to sit down. He said, "Hey, this lady is Mr. Liang's …"
"My secretary." Liang Feifan's slender fingers pressed against the side of the glass. He turned around and glanced at Bai Lu. "Secretary Bai, don't just stand there. Sit down."
"Oh," Bai Lu replied. He pulled out a chair and sat beside Liang Feifan.
The table was full of men, and Bai Lu was the only woman sitting next to Liang Feifan, which made her stand out. No matter how much she wanted to reduce her presence, someone would always hand her a glass of wine.
This group of middle-aged men in high positions liked to force women to drink at dinner parties. Plus, she was brought here by Liang Feifan as his secretary. At this moment, everyone recognized her gender rather than her identity! She was the only one who was recognized by Liang Feifan.
What's the point of drinking with another man?
Wasn't it more exciting for a man to get a woman to drink?
After several glasses of highly alcoholic white wine, Bai Lu felt her brain swell up. The few glasses of wine pushed in front of her were like tigers eyeing their prey. She felt like she couldn't take it anymore, but there was no way she could ask for help.
At this moment, she remembered Liang Feifan's warning in the elevator. He said that if she couldn't handle it, she had to think of a way to escape. So now, should she think of a way to escape?
She turned her face and stole a glance at Liang Feifan, who was sitting next to her. He was picking up food with his chopsticks. His side profile was deep and tense. The soft orange light shone on his face, accentuating his pale complexion. Although part of his full forehead was covered by his black hair, Bai Lu clearly noticed that a few strands of hair in front of his forehead were a little wet.
Was that his?
Bai Lu's heart sank. She remembered that he had drunk a lot of wine just now. He couldn't have had a stomachache again, could he?
"Mr. Liang, your secretary is not only good-looking, but she can also hold her liquor!"
A middle-aged man with a balding head walked over unsteadily with a glass of wine in his hand. He reached out and pressed on Bai Lu's shoulder. "Miss Bai, is it? I admire women like you. Let's have another drink! "
Bai Lu had been in Japanese society for so many years. Naturally, she knew how to react in this kind of situation.
This man was clearly taking advantage of the opportunity to take advantage of her, but she couldn't say anything. She could only stand up quietly and avoid the hand on her shoulder.
"You're welcome. I can't hold my liquor very well. Let's do whatever we want."
Bai Lu thought about it. Liang Feifan had said before that if she couldn't take it anymore, she would find a way to escape. She didn't think it was too much to say that.
However, this man clearly didn't want to do whatever they wanted. "Secretary Bai, that's not right. How can you do whatever you want? You must have a toast! Come, come, come. I think Secretary Bai can hold her liquor very well. You can even drink three glasses! "
As the man spoke, the smell of alcohol hit her in the face. Bai Lu hadn't eaten much to begin with, but she had been forced to drink a lot. At this moment, she felt as if her stomach was turning upside down, but she had to force a smile. "Then I'll have a toast first."
She closed her eyes and forced herself to drink the glass of wine. The spicy taste went down her throat and into her stomach. Bai Lu instantly felt that the people in front of her were about to stack up.
It was so uncomfortable.
She really couldn't take it anymore, but Liang Feifan sat by her side and didn't seem to have any intention of helping her.
She wasn't a hostess. To be honest, she really didn't like this kind of dinner party. However, her current position was still Liang Feifan's secretary. What she was doing now was part of her job.
Since it was her job, even if it didn't go her way, she had to persevere!
"Good! You really can hold your liquor! " The middle-aged man was very satisfied and applauded heartily. However, he still refused to let Bai Lu go. "But how can one glass be enough? At my place, you need at least three glasses to pass. Come, come, Secretary Bai, don't be modest. You really can hold your liquor. Today, we won't go home until we're drunk. Two more glasses! "
The waiter immediately came forward to fill Bai Lu's glass. This time, Bai Lu really couldn't smile. She knew very well that her alcohol tolerance was very average. In addition, she drank on an empty stomach today. Right now, her stomach was burning as if it was on fire. Looking at people, it was a little stacked. How could she drink more?
"I'm really a little drunk …" Bai Lu waved her hand. She was already slurring her words. Her body swayed, and her whole body fell to the side uncontrollably. "Uh …"
"Director Li, don't make things difficult for my little secretary anymore."
Suddenly, her body was firmly supported by someone. The moment Bai Lu fell, she just happened to grab the corner of someone's shirt.
In the room filled with the smell of cigarettes and alcohol, her head was groggy, but she could clearly smell a fresh scent. It was a scent she seemed to have smelled just now.
It was … the scent of Liang Feifan's shower gel mixed with the low-key male perfume on his body. It seemed to be able to get rid of all the worst smells in the world.
It flowed from the tip of her nose to her limbs and bones. Bai Lu only felt that the nauseating feeling in her stomach that made her want to vomit seemed to gradually disappear.
"Oh, Mr. Liang, are you feeling sorry for her?" The man called Director Li by Liang Feifan was the director of the tax bureau. When he saw Liang Feifan supporting Bai Lu to sit down, his smile became more and more affectionate. "Since Mr. Liang is feeling sorry for her, I won't make things difficult for your little secretary. But this wine …"
Liang Feifan calmly curved the corners of his lips. "My secretary can't drink well. If she really gets drunk today, her work efficiency will drop tomorrow. In the end, the unlucky person will be the one who will suffer in the end. How about this, I'll help her toast you, Director Li. I'll drink the three glasses she owes you. "
"That won't do." Director Li chuckled. It was obvious that he was not going to let them off easily. "Mr. Liang, if you want to drink on her behalf, I don't think three glasses is enough. How about doubling it?"
The people at the table immediately cheered. These people in the officialdom usually dealt with dinner parties and the like. They loved to play this kind of trick at the table. Moreover, Liang Feifan had stepped forward to speak up for a secretary. This was a rare situation. They would seize the opportunity to make him drink a few glasses.
Bai Lu leaned against the chair in a daze. In fact, she was not completely drunk. Therefore, she heard everything they said very clearly. At this moment, she subconsciously raised her head and glanced at Liang Feifan.
He stood tall and straight beside her. He had one hand in the pocket of his trousers and the other holding the wine glass. No one could tell that there was something wrong with his complexion. However, Bai Lu saw it clearly.
His complexion was very bad. Under the light, his noble and handsome face looked particularly pale at this moment.
Bai Lu felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head. Her originally confused mind instantly cleared up a little.
He must have an upset stomach!
How could she let him drink on her behalf at this time? Wouldn't this be asking for his life?
Actually, she had not expected Liang Feifan to speak up for her. To be honest, other than being a little picky about work and living habits, he was actually a very good boss.
This thought prompted Bai Lu to stand up abruptly. Before anyone could react, she had already said heroically, "I'm not drunk! I'll drink! "
This sentence was undoubtedly like poking a hornet's nest. Everyone at the table cheered. After Bai Lu drank three glasses, everyone clapped and cheered. Immediately, someone else came up with another glass. In the end, she didn't know how much she had drunk. In any case, she was completely drunk.
When it was time to leave, the driver carried the drunk Bai Lu into the car.
That night, Liang Feifan didn't drink a lot, but his stomach was very uncomfortable. When he got into the car, he looked very forced. In order not to affect his schedule the next day, he took out his phone and prepared to call the doctor over.
Just as he dialed the number, before he could speak, Bai Lu, who had been leaning against the side, suddenly woke up. She snatched the phone from him and stared at him drunkenly. She boldly pointed a pale finger at Liang Feifan's nose and burped. She slurred and said, "… You, why are you calling? You … What are you up to? "
Liang Feifan was stunned. His handsome brows furrowed as he looked down at her with displeasure in his eyes.
This woman, is she drunk and acting crazy?!
"Secretary Bai, sober up." He suddenly reached out and pinched her cheeks with his middle finger and thumb. He said impatiently, "Give me the phone!"
Bai Lu was indeed drunk.
