"Apologies, the plane was late. I made you all wait." Liang Xi Cheng faintly smiled. He took a step with his long legs and entered the room. He immediately unb.u.t.toned his suit jacket, and Yan Liang rushed up to take the jacket. She pa.s.sed it the row of attendants. She saw Liang Xi Cheng hitch up his trouser legs and take at seat at the top of the table. He picked up the cup in front of him. His face was clearly smiling, and his deep voice said, "As penalty, I"ll drink three cups!"
Yan Lang saw him gulp three cups of baijiu in one go. In her heart, she became worried.
He shouldn"t have eaten anything since arriving, and right when he arrived, his stomach started hurting. Now he was drinking alcohol on an empty stomach. Wouldn"t that hurt his stomach more?
"Chairman Liang, you can hold your liquor! Actually, we haven"t been waiting long. Come, let"s all sit!"
After someone spoke up, everyone already sat down. Only Yan Liang was standing behind Liang Xi Cheng. A middle-aged man laughingly raised his wine cup and stood up. Then he noticed Yan Liang was still standing and cried out in surprise, "This young lady is Chairman Liang"s......"
"My secretary." Liang Xi Cheng"s slender fingers gripped his cup. He turned around to look at her, "Don"t just stand there. Take a seat."
Yan Liang murmured in response and pulled over a chair to sit by Liang Xi Cheng.
Because the entire table was filled with men, Yan Liang was the only female sitting by Liang Xi Cheng. It was really noticeable. No matter how much she wanted to be less obvious, there was always some man pa.s.sing a wine cup to her.
What this group of middle-aged, important men liked most was drinking with females at dinner parties. Adding on, she was brought by Liang Xi Cheng and was his secretary. At this time, what they acknowledged wasn"t her position but her gender.
What was fun about drinking with other men?
It was only fun when drinking with females, isn"t that right?!
After drinking several cups with high alcohol content baijiu one right after another, Yan Liang already felt like her head was aching. The cups of wine in front of her were eyeing her down. She felt like she couldn"t take anymore but had no way to cry for help......
At this time, she remembered what Liang Xi Cheng warned her about in the elevator. He said if she couldn"t handle it, then to find a way out. Then shouldn"t she be finding an excuse to leave now?
She looked over to secretly glance at Liang Xi Cheng who was sitting next to her. Right then, he was using his chopsticks to get some food. His side profile was obscure yet strained. The soft orange light shined on his face. It highlighted his slightly pale face. Although his full forehead was partially obscured by his black hair, Yan Liang clearly saw a few strands of his hair was wet-------
Was that......cold sweat?
Yan Liang"s heart sank. She remembered he drank quite a few cups. After downing such strong wine, could it be his stomach was hurting again?
"Chairman Liang, not only is your secretary pretty, but her tolerance is pretty good too!"
A bald-headed middle-aged man held a cup and stumbled over. He pressed a hand on Yan Liang"s shoulder with shady intentions, "Miss Bai is it? I really admire women like you. Let"s have another toast!"
