Chapter 383: Drunk
The five young men who came all had cars. Zhu Chenglong asked Wu Yiyao, “Teacher Wu, did you drive?”
Wu Yiyao had been sent over by Professor Wu. She didn’t like the way Zhu Chenglong looked at her. It was too invasive. She said, “I’ll take Little Tang’s car.”
Zhu Chenglong felt that Tang Zhiyun and the others must have invested all their money into the company and didn’t buy a car. So he asked deliberately, “Junior Tang, did you buy a car?”
These words made the other four people walking beside her turn to look at Tang Zhiyun at the same time.
Tang Zhiyun was about to speak when Chu Luo took out a key from her pocket and shook the key ring. She said, “Senior, the car you asked me to get for you a few days ago has been bought. It was bought at factory price. Did I save a lot of money for our company?”
With that, she threw the key to him.
Li Yan had given her this key when she alighted from the car, saying that she would need it when the time came. Now that she looked at it, it really was of use.
Tang Zhiyun took the key subconsciously and was a little confused when he saw the symbol on it.
“D*mn! Junior Tang, you’re amazing. You actually bought such a high-end car.”
The young man in the blue suit quickly said, “Junior, see where the car is.”
Tang Zhiyun pressed the car key and a seven-seater MPV parked not far away rang twice.
The five young men looked at the car at the same time and widened their eyes in shock. They thought about how much this car was worth on the market, and wondered what the factory price was.
Out of curiosity, the man in the blue suit asked, “Junior Chu, you said you paid the factory price for this car?”
“Yes.”
“Can I ask how much it is?”
Chu Luo, who had no idea, casually said a number. “A few hundred thousand yuan.”
There wasn’t a man who didn’t love cars. When he heard that the price of this car was only a few hundred thousand yuan, his mind suddenly became active.
If Chu Luo could help them get a car at that price…
Chu Luo didn’t give them time to continue asking and walked towards Li Yan’s car.
Wu Yiyao, who was standing beside Tang Zhiyun, pushed him with a smile. “Little Tang, why are you still standing there? Coincidentally, I also want to check out the car Little Chu helped you guys buy.”
Tang Zhiyun came back to his senses and opened the car door with the key. w.a.n.g Mingtao, Xie Minghai, Yu Lei, and Xu Qingfeng, who had been staring at the car with their wolf-like eyes, sprinted over, opened the car door, and got into the back seat.
Wu Yiyao walked over and pulled open the front pa.s.senger seat.
Tang Zhiyun put away the expression on his face and said to Zhu Chenglong and the others, “Seniors, you can follow my car.”
After saying that, he strode over, opened the door to the driver’s seat, and sat in it. After getting in, he even gestured for them to follow him.
The five of them came back to their senses.
The young man in the white suit said with a complicated expression, “Junior Tang and the others have met a benefactor. As long as Chu Luo is around, even if Master Li doesn’t appear, we’re certain that their company will become very powerful in less than a year.”
The young man in the blue suit said in his heart in a joking tone, “I suddenly want to go back and quit my job to follow my juniors. I’ll definitely have a bright future if I hang out with them.”
The other three were also a little tempted.
Only Zhu Chenglong clicked his tongue and said, “The four of them… oh, no, the five of them have a share in the company. When the company develops, do you think they will still be as united as they are now? Once they have some thoughts, things will be messy.
“Even if they can still be united in the future, there are five of them. When the company becomes big, the five of them will take up the most important positions. Even if you go, you can only be an employee, unlike in large international companies where you can slowly climb up to the position of regional director.”
After saying that, Zhu Chenglong walked towards his car. However, the more he walked to the car, the more he found his car, which was worth 500,000 yuan, to be an eyesore. He thought that he would definitely switch to a car worth more than 2,000,000 yuan after a while.
The restaurant Li Yan had booked was definitely the best.
When the five youngsters saw Li Yan get out of the car, they were so excited that their faces turned red. They really wanted to greet Li Yan and introduce themselves, but Li Yan’s expression was too cold and they didn’t dare.
When everyone walked into the restaurant, the restaurant manager was already waiting.
“Master Li, the private room you booked is ready. Please follow me.”
Everyone walked into the private room, sat down, and ordered.
w.a.n.g Mingtao took out his phone and started to scroll. This time, he asked Tang Zhiyun and the others to look at their phones excitedly. “Seniors, look. Your interview is really on the headlines.”
The boys immediately took out their phones and read the reports excitedly.
The youngsters also joined in.
Wu Yiyao smiled at them and tilted her head to ask Chu Luo, “Little Chu, are you staying at the company in the afternoon?”
Chu Luo shook her head. “I have to go back in the afternoon.”
Wu Yiyao knew what she was going to do and didn’t ask further.
At this moment, Zhu Chenglong, who appeared to be discussing with the boys, but had actually been paying attention to this side, suddenly looked up at them and said in a considerate tone, “I heard that Junior Chu enrolled in many foreign languages. She must be very busy during this period of time. Even if she’s busy, she has to pay attention to rest.”
However, just as he finished speaking, he felt a chill down his spine.
He instantly held his breath and thought, ‘I don’t think I said anything. Why is Master Li’s expression so cold?’
Chu Luo glanced at Li Yan and grabbed his hand. She nodded at Zhu Chenglong indifferently.
Zhu Chenglong felt inexplicably embarra.s.sed.
Wu Yiyao glanced at him and shook her head in her heart.
‘With CEO Li here, how dare you fawn over Little Chu. Aren’t you courting death?’
Lunch was served quickly.
At this moment, Zhu Chenglong, who had been worried that he had offended Li Yan just now and wanted to apologize, suddenly suggested, “Today is a good day. Why don’t we have a drink?”
These words received the approval of the other youngsters. They wanted to use the toast to show their faces in front of Li Yan.
Xie Minghai was about to say that he was going to work in the afternoon and wouldn’t drink, but Tang Zhiyun said first, “Senior is right. Today is a good day. We should have a drink.”
After saying that, he said to the manager, who was guarding the door personally, “Manager, please help us get a few bottles of wine.”
“What wine do you want, guest?”
Tang Zhiyun mentioned a brand of wine that had more than 40% alcohol content.
“How many bottles do you want, guest?”
“We’ll take ten bottles first.”
“Little Tang, ten bottles is too much. You guys still have to work in the afternoon.”
Wu Yiyao was a little worried.
Tang Zhiyun glanced at her with those gentle eyes, rea.s.suring her.
The manager quickly got someone to bring over ten bottles of wine. He came in to open the lid of one of the bottles and was about to pour wine for Li Yan.
Li Yan glanced at him coldly, startling the manager. He then wanted to pour it for Chu Luo again. This time, Li Yan pointed at the five youngsters. “Pour it for them.”
The five youngsters were flattered.
After the wine was filled, the five youngsters stood up at the same time and toasted Li Yan. “Master Li, let’s toast you.”
Li Yan nodded.
The five of them immediately drank the entire gla.s.s of wine in excitement.
Tang Zhiyun stood up and refilled their gla.s.ses enthusiastically.
Chu Luo looked at Tang Zhiyun, who had become enthusiastic, and suddenly guessed why he did this when he rarely drank.
She tilted her head to look at Li Yan, feeling that he had done it on purpose.
As expected, after Tang Zhiyun poured them wine, he didn’t sit back down but stood there and drank three gla.s.ses with them.
Wu Yiyao looked at Tang Zhiyun, whose ears were turning red soon, and got a little worried. She lowered her voice and said to Chu Luo, “Little Chu, Little Tang can’t hold his liquor well. Think of a way not to let him get drunk.”
Chu Luo nodded and cast a spell. The wine in Tang Zhiyun’s gla.s.s turned into water.
Xie Minghai had also guessed what Tang Zhiyun was thinking. He stood up to help toast him.
Seeing that Xie Minghai had also gone, Yu Lei and Xu Qingfeng followed.
The four of them toasted the five of them a few gla.s.ses. Soon, the ten bottles of wine were emptied.
Tang Zhiyun and the others became more and more sober as they drank. (Chu Luo had changed the wine in their gla.s.ses to water.) The other five became more drunk as they drank.
Chu Luo sat there and watched the show.
Li Yan, who was sitting beside her, couldn’t stand it anymore. He took the small bowl in front of her and filled it with her favorite dishes. He poured a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her. “Luoluo, eat.”
Only then did Chu Luo retract her gaze and start eating.
By the time the meal ended, the five youngsters were all drunk.
As everyone walked out of the restaurant, Tang Zhiyun said, “Seniors, you look drunk. Why don’t I get a designated driver to send you back?”
Xie Minghai said enthusiastically, “I’ll call them.”
With that, he took out his phone and called for a designated driver.
The five of them were quickly taken away by the designated driver.
After they left, Chu Luo and Li Yan also left.
In the car, Li Yan pulled Chu Luo into his arms and said to her, “Go back and sleep for a few hours before doing the experiment.”
“What about you?”
“I’ll accompany you at home.”
When the car returned to the villa at Imperial Sky Park, Qin Ming was already waiting there. It was obvious that he had something to tell Li Yan.
Chu Luo returned to the bedroom first.
When she woke up from her sleep, she realized that Li Yan hadn’t returned to the bedroom to rest at all.
She opened the bedroom door and walked out. Just as she walked out of the corridor to the stairs, she heard Qin Ming say, “That side has sent news that the Qin family has already formed an alliance with another group of people. They are preparing to leave for the desert tomorrow morning.”
“Are there any Gu Masters inside?”
“Yes.”
“Find a way to capture that Gu Master. If you can’t, stop them at the edge of the desert.”
“Yes.”
When Chu Luo heard this, she walked downstairs.
Li Yan and Qin Ming looked over at the same time.
Chu Luo asked, “Who did the Qin family ally with?”
“Eldest Madam Qin’s maiden family, the Cang family of Y Province.”
Y Province and Southern Xinjiang were next to each other.
“What does the Cang family do?”
“They manage the military industry in Y Province.”
