?Chapter 86: Episode 86: We’re Here to Discuss Advertising, Not to Drink 2 Chapter 86: Episode 86: We’re Here to Discuss Advertising, Not to Drink 2 Pang Xin, an old fox in the business world, how could he not see through Li Jiniang’s fake drinking? But because he sat quite far away, and since Li Jiniang did not replenish with water after every sip, he wasn’t too sure if she was actually fake drinking.

    “Hua Zi, once Jiniang comes back, find a way to get her by my side! I must get her drunk!” Pang Xin issued the sleazy command to Wan Hua once again.

    Meanwhile, Zhou Xueyin and Li Jiniang planned that if the other party didn’t intend to sign the contract today, they would find an excuse to go home.

    Even though it was a public place, it was still inside a private room, and every extra minute they stayed was an extra minute of danger.

    After touching up her makeup, Li Jiniang applied a deeper shade of blush, making herself look truly flushed like someone who drank too much, leaning heavily on Zhou Xueyin; the two entered the private room, supporting each other.

    “Mr. Pang~~ I’m really sorry~~~ today I probably… *hic*, can’t keep drinking with you…” Li Jiniang pretended to be severely drunk, even hiccuping and fanning her face with her hand, “Eh? Who turned off the air conditioning? Why is it so hot?”

    “Mr. Pang, I’m so sorry, our Jiniang here is a bit of a lightweight… How about we wrap it up for today? The contract…” Zhou Xueyin also staggered as if about to fall at any time while holding on to Li Jiniang.

    But actually, both of them were standing firm, it was all feigned.

    “Oh… you’re overwhelmed by alcohol so soon?” Seeing the state of the two, Pang Xin couldn’t really push for more, “How about this, we can meet up again in a few days, alright?”

    “You see… I’ve brought all the paperwork for signing the contract today.” Zhou Xueyin helped Li Jiniang sit down on a chair and then opened her bag to show Pang Xin for a moment, “How about we just sign it today?”

    “Why the rush for the contract? We’ve already decided to have you do it, no hurry, no hurry!” It felt like Pang Xin’s objective today wasn’t to sign the contract.

    “Mr. Pang, just to let you know, our company also has a scheduling queue, and right now, there happens to be an open slot. If you sign the contract and pay the deposit now? You can see the finished product in a week!” Zhou Xueyin persisted.

    “Ei, I’m telling you…” Pang Xin got somewhat impatient from Zhou Xueyin’s words.

    “No, no, Mr. Pang, it’s like this, look, graduation season is just around the corner. If you don’t hurry up and get the advertisement out, miss a week, and you’ll have to wait another year!” Zhou Xueyin pretended to consider the interests of Pang Xin’s company, prattling on about the benefits of advertising during peak traffic periods.

    “Okay, okay! How about this, come to our sales department tomorrow to sign the contract… Hua Zi, go and pay the bill!” Pang Xin got annoyed by Zhou Xueyin’s nagging, “And remember to give me a receipt!”

    Seeing there was no chance to take Li Jiniang away, Pang Xin angrily sent Wan Hua to settle the tab.

    “Uh… Mr. Pang, can you give me some money…” Wan Hua timidly looked at Pang Xin, “I… reimbursement, hasn’t come through…”

    “Money, money, money! Is 500 enough? Hurry up and get lost to pay the bill!” Pang Xin took out 500 yuan from his wallet and slapped it onto Wan Hua.

    “Tomorrow, 10 o’clock in the morning, come to my company to sign the contract! Bring your advertising proposal!” Pang Xin, irritated, picked his teeth with a toothpick, and if it wasn’t for the fact that Zhou Xueyin was a woman, he felt like spitting all his disdain on her face.

    “Take care, didn’t forget anything, did you?” Zhou Xueyin insincerely reminded, as Pang Xin stormed out slamming the door.

    Hey, he really did forget something, Wan Hua’s briefcase was still on the seat…

    “You stay down for a bit longer, wait for Wan Hua to take the briefcase, then get up!” Zhou Xueyin squatted down and spoke to Li Jiniang with a mischievous smile.

    Sure enough, three minutes later, Wan Hua came running back in a panic, “My, my briefcase, I forgot to take it. Thank you, thank you all…” Sear?h the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    Wan Hua didn’t just come back for his briefcase; he looked at the untouched dishes on the table, “Miss Zhou, Miss Li… Can I take all these leftovers with me?”

    “Sure, take it! But as for your Boss Pang…” Zhou Xueyin turned towards the private room door, but Pang Xin was nowhere to be seen.

    “If I may speak frankly, why are you so afraid of that fat bastard?” Zhou Xueyin also helped Wan Hua pack the food.

    “He’s my boss, how could I dare to defy him?” Wan Hua said helplessly, “The General Sales Manager is second only to the top, and as long as the performance is good, the headquarters doesn’t care about that sort of… We assistants can only obey…”

    “You guys really have it rough…” Zhou Xueyin said with sympathy.

    “No choice, they pay us, so we have to listen,” Wan Hua said listlessly, “Boss Pang must have gone far away by now, let me tell you the truth, he never brought the contract today, he just wanted to drink with Miss Li!”

    Upon hearing this, Li Jixiang immediately sat up straight, “I knew it! That old pervert, always staring at me!”

    “Wow! You’re not drunk? That’s great…” Wan Hua said relievedly, “Before we came, Boss Pang said that today he must make you drink till you drop, then take you away.”

    “But that pig, he never expected Zhou Xueyin to come along. And she’s been protecting me, right?” Li Jixiang looked proudly at Zhou Xueyin.

    “It’s good that Miss Zhou came along; otherwise, you might have really been in danger!” Wan Hua said worriedly, “But you should be careful when you come to sign the contract tomorrow… Boss Pang is the type of scoundrel who, if he doesn’t drink to his satisfaction, will make the cooperation unpleasant. You must be prepared!”

    “Okay, you should go back too, be safe on the road!” After packing the food, the three of them left Dinghao, Zhou Xueyin and Li Jixiang watched as Wan Hua boarded the bus.

    “Jixiang, you’re really amazing! You really acted the part, oh my, I can’t take it, support me, hahaha” On the way home, Zhou Xueyin and Li Jixiang were still recalling the dining experience.

    “You’re not bad either! Actually managing to get that pig to pay and leave, you’re so tough!” Li Jixiang also looked at Zhou Xueyin admiringly.

    “Hey, I’m telling you, if it wasn’t for your act of being drunk, that pig would’ve kept pestering you to drink. It’s just like in the movies, contracts are signed over drinks…” Zhou Xueyin sneered, “It means that once the other party is drunk, they’ll sign for whatever amount of money, right?”

    “Isn’t that the case… But Wan Hua also said, that pig had his sights on me today. Luckily you were my bodyguard! He didn’t dare to mess around…” Li Jixiang expressed relief, “We absolutely can’t let Old Li know about today, or he’ll worry himself sick! I don’t want him to be distracted by this during his exams abroad!”

    “Abroad? Where to?”

    “South Korea, to study music composition…” Li Jixiang shrugged nonchalantly, “Actually, it’s pretty good, doing what he likes, it’s nice.”

    “Indeed, it’s nice. But doesn’t that mean you’re in a long-distance relationship now?” Zhou Xueyin asked worriedly.

    “No one to watch over me, I’m free~~” Li Jixiang said lightheartedly, not seeming like she was joking.

    Even though they were quite happy now, the two of them were in for a tough fight the next day.
