Xiao Qingshuang led Bao Zhao into the hotel and went straight to the VIP room on the third floor.
In the private room, three men and two women were playing boxing and drinking. They were very happy. Seeing Xiao Qingshuang and Zhao Bao enter the private room, one of the young men immediately stood up.
"President Xiao, you're finally here. We've been waiting for you for a long time.”the young man said to Xiao Qingshuang with a smile.
"There was a traffic jam on the road today. I'm really sorry for making you wait.”Xiao Qingshuang smiled like a professional esper.
This young man was the secretary of the chairman of Xiyu Group, Zhang Chunde.
The project that Xiao Qingshuang was going to discuss this time was a collaboration with the three major corporations, Xiyu, Dongsheng, and Nanhuang. Apart from Zhang Chunde, the secretary of the chairman of Xiyu Group, the other two men were Yao Guoxiong, the chairman of Dongsheng Group, and Du Yu, the sales director of Nanhuang Group.
"President Xiao, you've already given us a lot of face by coming here personally. Don't just stand there. Sit down and have a few drinks.”Yao Guoxiong, who was in his thirties, said with a smile.
"Director Yao, I'm embarrassed to hear you say that. I'm already very grateful that you took time out of your busy schedule to come over.”Xiao Qingshuang said politely.
Dongsheng Group was stronger than Xiyu and Nanhuang. It was all thanks to Dongsheng Group that Hundred Blossoms was able to achieve what it was today. Compared to Zhang Chunde and Du Yu, Xiao Qingshuang and Yao Guoxiong had the best relationship in private, apart from their frequent business cooperation.
However, Yao Guoxiong's personal visit today was beyond Xiao Qingshuang's expectations.
Du Yu of the Nanhuang Group was also a young man, but he had always been a man of few words. Tonight was no exception. From the moment Xiao Qingshuang and Zhao Bao came in, he had not said a word. He had only glanced at Xiao Qingshuang calmly.
"President Xiao, who is this person beside you?" Zhang Chunde glanced at Zhao Bao and asked Xiao Qingshuang.
"He is my assistant, Zhao Bao." Xiao Qingshuang introduced.
"Hello, Secretary Zhang." Zhao Bao was very cooperative with Xiao Qingshuang. He reached out his hand and smiled at Zhang Chunde.
Zhang Chunde frowned, his face full of unwelcome. He was indifferent to Zhao Bao's invitation to shake hands. He said to Xiao Qingshuang,""President Xiao, we're going to talk about important trade secrets today. It's not good for outsiders to be here, right?”
Zhao Bao was a little embarrassed. He smiled bitterly and retracted his hand.
" You condescending fellow, I curse you to have a son without an asshole," Zhao Bao complained in his heart.
If it weren't for Xiao Qingshuang, he wouldn't have taken the initiative to shake Zhang Chunde's hand. Zhang Chunde's attitude made Zhao Bao very unhappy.
"Secretary Zhang, don't worry. Bao Zhao is one of us.”Xiao Qingshuang said calmly.
Zhang Chunde frowned and looked at Yao Guoxiong. The latter nodded calmly and said,"Secretary Zhang, since President Xiao has said so, Assistant Zhao must be someone you can trust.”
"Alright then." Zhang Chunde said and sat back down.
After a few words of flattery, Xiao Qingshuang and Zhao Bao sat down on the sofa. Xiao Qingshuang asked Yao Guoxiong,""Director Yao, what do you think about the project we talked about? Do you have any suggestions or other requests?"
"Hehe, Qing Shuang, let's not talk about business first. Today, we'll treat it as a gathering of friends. As for the project you mentioned, we'll talk about it after we've had our fill.”Yao Guoxiong said.
Zhang Chunde chimed in," That's right, President Xiao. The project you mentioned just needs President Yao's signature. There's no rush."”
Xiao Qingshuang frowned. She was a smart person, and she knew that Yao Guoxiong had been eyeing her. Judging from Zhang Chunde and Yao Guoxiong's attitude today, it was obvious that they had other intentions.
However, it was all thanks to Yao Guoxiong that Hundred Blossoms was where it was today. Moreover, although Yao Guoxiong had his eyes on her, he never said it out loud. He had always been pursuing her silently. Therefore, Xiao Qingshuang had never fallen out with Yao Guoxiong.
Today, it was even more impossible.
Because the project to be discussed this time was very important, it was fine if Yao Guoxiong didn't cooperate. If he interfered, it was very likely that the entire Hundred Flowers Company would go bankrupt.
Therefore, Xiao Qingshuang could only pretend that she knew nothing.
"Alright, since Director Yao has said so, I'll respectfully accept it.”Xiao Qingshuang said.
To be able to build Hundred Flowers into one of the top 100 companies in Zhong Hai City from scratch, Xiao Qingshuang could be said to be a well-deserved business elite. Such social gatherings were a common occurrence for her.
Xiao Qingshuang was not afraid that Zhang Chunde, Yao Guoxiong, and the others would get her drunk, because she was a good drinker. She could stay sober even if she drank two catties of white wine.
Moreover, she was prepared today and brought Zhao Bao along.
"Okay, Secretary Zhang, go and ask the waiter to open a few bottles of the best red wine from the State Guest and get some food over.”Yao Guoxiong's eyes flashed with joy as he quickly said to Zhang Chunde.
"Okay, I'll go over right away. Call a beauty over for Assistant Zhao.”Zhang Chunde looked at Zhao Bao meaningfully and walked out of the private room eagerly.
After a while, Zhang Chunde returned to the private room with a coquettish woman. At the same time, several waiters brought over several opened bottles of Lafite and some pastries.
Zhang Chunde said to Zhao Bao,"Assistant Zhao, come and sit with this beauty. Let Director Yao and President Xiao sit together."”
"Alright." Zhao Bao glanced at Xiao Qingshuang and then smiled at Zhang Chunde.
"Assistant Zhao, have fun tonight. I'll pay for everything.”Seeing that Zhao Bao was so sensible, Yao Guoxiong said with a smile. He was very generous.
Xiao Qingshuang only frowned for a moment before she recovered and chatted with Yao Guoxiong, who was sitting next to her. Of course, Zhao Bao could guess what Zhang Chunde and Yao Guoxiong were thinking, but he knew that now was not the time to expose them.
Sitting with the flirtatious woman, Zhao Bao acted like an ordinary man. His hands kept touching the flirtatious woman's body and drinking glass after glass at the same time.
Under Zhang Chunde's constant urging, Xiao Qingshuang had unknowingly finished an entire bottle of red wine. Her cheeks were rosy, and her eyes were hazy. She was already drunk.
In fact, with Xiao Qingshuang's alcohol tolerance, this little bit wouldn't make her drunk at all.
However, the red wine that she had just drunk seemed to be particularly easy to get drunk. She had only drunk one bottle, but she was already starting to lose consciousness. Xiao Qingshuang was very smart. She knew that there was something wrong with the wine today and she couldn't drink any more.
"Director Yao, Secretary Zhang, let's stop drinking for today. I still have some things to deal with at the company.”Xiao Qingshuang forced herself to stay alert.
"How can this be? President Xiao, you're the last one to come today. How can you leave first? Let's talk about the company tomorrow.”Zhang Chunde said with a sly smile. He had also drunk a lot of wine, but he was not drunk at all.
" But…" Xiao Qingshuang knew that there was a trap and wanted to find an excuse to escape.
However, Yao Guoxiong interrupted Xiao Qingshuang and said,""Qing Shuang, no matter what happens in your company, I'll take responsibility. Even if your Hundred Flowers Company collapses, I can still open another company of the same scale for you.”
"Director Yao, it's not like that. I really want to go back to the company. How about we drink next time?”Xiao Qingshuang said.
Even though she knew that there was a trap, she could only suppress her anger and dissatisfaction as she explained with a smile.
Xiao Qingshuang insisted on leaving. Yao Guoxiong was unhappy. He looked at the wine on the table and didn't say a word.
At this moment, Zhang Chunde smiled and said,""Director Yao, since President Xiao wants to leave, let her leave. However, President Xiao, you've made Director Yao lose face today. How about this? You can have another drink with Director Yao as an apology.”
" This..." Xiao Qingshuang hesitated. She had reached her limit. If she drank another cup, she would probably pass out.
Xiao Qingshuang glanced at Zhao Bao, obviously hoping that Zhao Bao would step forward to help her drink the wine at this critical moment. However, Zhao Bao was already drunk.
Xiao Qingshuang was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood. This guy had not only failed to become her trump card at the critical moment, but had instead become a burden. How detestable.
"President Xiao, if you don't even drink this glass of wine to apologize to Director Yao, you're really not giving Director Yao a chance to step down.”Zhang Chunde said.
"Alright then." Xiao Qingshuang said, gritting her teeth.
Zhang Chunde's move was to turn retreat into advance. If Xiao Qingshuang did not agree, it would be equivalent to falling out with Yao Guoxiong. Therefore, Xiao Qingshuang could only bite the bullet and agree to drink another cup.
"Director Yao, I'm really sorry. Take this glass of wine as my apology to you. Next time, if there's a chance, I'll definitely drink with you properly.”Xiao Qingshuang poured a glass of wine and said to Yao Guoxiong.
"Qing Shuang, you're treating me as an outsider. There's no need to be so calculative with our relationship.”Yao Guoxiong immediately smiled and said.
Xiao Qingshuang downed the glass and prepared to stand up to leave. However, as soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy and drained of all her strength. She fell back onto the sofa weakly.
Then, Xiao Qingshuang saw Zhang Chunde and Yao Guoxiong's smug smiles. Then, she felt herself being hugged by Yao Guoxiong.
At this moment, Xiao Qingshuang couldn't even speak, let alone struggle. After taking one last look at Zhao Bao, who was sprawled on the table, Xiao Qingshuang closed her heavy eyelids and fainted.
"Secretary Zhang, you did well today. The five million I promised you will be in my account tomorrow morning. You can enjoy yourself. I'll leave first.”Yao Guoxiong said to Zhang Chunde as he hugged the unconscious Xiao Qingshuang.
"It's my fortune to be able to work for Director Yao," said Zhang Chunde hurriedly.”
Yao Guoxiong smiled and picked Xiao Qingshuang up, preparing to leave the room.
"Do you think I'm air? You want to take my boss away without asking me?”
