During the process of drinking and toasting, Lu Tao found that Lin Susu seemed to be in a gloomy and preoccupied state. Even if she had to laugh with everyone at times, her smile was very forced. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was "forcing a smile". Moreover, she often glanced at Lu Tao intentionally or unintentionally, but as long as Lu Tao looked at her, she would quickly shift her gaze away in a panic, as if she had done something wrong. This made Lu Tao confused, unable to figure out what she was thinking ….
When the banquet was coming to an end, Lin Hua was a little drunk and became bold. He looked at Du Xiaoyu and asked with a smile, "Xiaoyu, is your WeChat number your phone number? Can I add you on WeChat? I only know your phone number now, and I got it from Mr. Liang. But if I call you directly, I don't want to disturb your work and rest. Also, some things are too embarrassing to say on the phone, but I can say it on WeChat. There's no need to be embarrassed, right? "
Du Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, I'm sorry, I'm not a very interesting person. My social circle is very small, and I don't have many friends on WeChat. Most of them are close friends or colleagues, and I rarely talk to them on WeChat. Forgive me for being blunt, but today is the first time we've met, so we can't be considered close friends. If you want to chat with me, you probably don't have anything to talk about, so let's not add each other on WeChat for now. When we get to know each other more and have more common topics, let's add each other on WeChat! "
Lin Hua had expected that Du Xiaoyu would not let him add her on WeChat today. He just suggested it in the hope of a miracle, so he didn't care much about her rejection. He nodded and said, "Okay, let's add each other on WeChat later."
When everyone was done drinking and eating, Lin Hua asked Du Xiaoyu in a hopeless tone, "Xiaoyu, can you do me the honor of singing a song or drinking tea with us tonight?"
Du Xiaoyu glanced at Lu Tao, hesitated, and asked, "Who's going to sing? CEO Liang and Sister Susu are going to perform. Are the three of us going to sing? "
Lu Tao knew that Lin Hua wanted to invite Du Xiaoyu out to play alone, so he hurriedly said, "Division Chief Lin, I'm sorry, I have to go back to the hotel later to discuss something with the two leaders of the Taolin Finance Bureau, so I can't sing with you guys, I'm sorry!"
When Du Xiaoyu heard that Lu Tao wasn't going, she immediately shook her head and said, "If it's just the two of us, I won't go. Besides, I was going to perform at Yaqin Performing Arts Bar. I'll go with Mr. Liang and Sister Susu!"
Lin Hua saw that she seemed to be interested in singing, but felt that it would be a bit awkward to sing with two people, and it wouldn't have the atmosphere, so she didn't want to go. She couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy, and quickly ran over to hold Lu Tao's hand, using a pleading tone, she said, "Brother Lu, come sing with us, consider it as doing me a favor! There's still time for you to discuss with the leaders of the Finance Bureau tomorrow, so there's no rush, right? "
Fatty Liang also tried to persuade Lu Tao, "Mr. Lu, Susu and I are the boss and host of the Performing Arts Club, and the other is the pillar of the Beijing Opera Show. We can't be absent, so we can't accompany Section Chief Lin and Xiaoyu to sing. But you are here on a business trip, and you can't do anything at night. You can ask the two leaders of the Finance Bureau for leave, and we can talk about it tomorrow. You should accompany Section Chief Lin and Xiaoyu to sing!"
Let's go with Division Chief Lin and Xiaoyu. "Speaking up to here, he subconsciously glanced at Lin Susu, who was looking down in silence, and said," Susu and I have discussed it, tonight after the Performing Arts Bar closes, we must treat you to a midnight snack. There are a few colleagues in the Performing Arts Bar who saw with their own eyes how you went on stage to teach Young Master Min and his gang a lesson the night before yesterday, and they are all in awe of your chivalry and powerful martial arts. They all want to find a chance to toast you a few glasses of wine to express their admiration, and tonight is a good opportunity, when the time comes, I'll call them all over, and we'll have a lively drink together! "
As he said that, he looked at Lin Hua and Du Xiaoyu, "Division Chief Lin, Xiaoyu, after you finish singing, you must go with Mr. Lu for a midnight snack, it's my treat, and I'll send you the location of the snack later."
Lu Tao thought that Du Xiaoyu would refuse to sing again, but unexpectedly, after thinking for a moment, she said, "If there are more than three people, I can sing, but I'll skip the midnight snack. First of all, I rarely eat midnight snacks, I'm afraid I'll get fat; second of all, I have to go to class at 8: 00 tomorrow, I can't sleep too late, and the Performing Arts Bar closes at 11: 30, so if I eat midnight snacks, I'll definitely eat until 2 or 3 in the morning, I can't take it!"
When Lin Hua heard that she agreed to sing, it was as if he heard a heavenly voice, and he was so happy that he almost sobered up. He was afraid that if Fatty Liang invited her to have a midnight snack again, she wouldn't even sing, so he hurriedly waved his hand at Fatty Liang and said, "Mr. Liang, most women don't like to eat midnight snacks, you don't have to force Xiaoyu. Besides, I'm not used to drinking in the middle of the night, and I rarely eat midnight snacks. How about you treat Brother Lu to a midnight snack, and I'll send Xiaoyu home after singing, okay? "
Fatty Liang knew how anxious he was at the moment, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, you and Xiaoyu can go home after singing! Mr. Lu, you can't go back on your word. When the time comes, I'll invite you to have a beer and a barbecue with Susu and those brothers of yours. Let's express our gratitude and admiration for you together! "
Although Lu Tao was open-minded, he wasn't a vain person, but when he heard Fatty Liang say that there were a few brothers in the Performing Arts Bar who admired him, he felt a little proud and honored, so he agreed, "Okay, tonight I'll fight to get drunk and drink with Mr. Liang, Miss Susu, and your brothers!"
Because everyone present was drunk, Fatty Liang called for two designated drivers, one of them drove Lin Hua's car, and sent the three of them to the "Dreamy Nanjiang" KTV to sing, and the other driver drove his car to send him and Lin Susu to the Yaqin Performing Arts Bar …
After arriving at the "Dreamy Nanjiang" KTV private room, Lu Tao whispered to Lin Hua while Du Xiaoyu went to the bathroom to wash her hands and touch up her makeup, "Division Chief Lin, if you want Xiaoyu to sing happily tonight, it's best to call a few more friends over to sing with her. Classmates and colleagues are fine too."
Lin Hua asked in surprise, "Why?"
Lu Tao said shrewdly, "There are two advantages to this. First, Xiaoyu is an artist, and her singing is very good. Plus, she often goes to the Yaqin Performing Arts Bar to perform, so she's definitely used to the cheers and applause after singing. But if it's only the two of us clapping and cheering, it'll obviously make her feel uncomfortable, and maybe she'll lose interest after singing a few songs … "
