Mu Jinyu followed behind Snake Spirit Face, feeling the burning gazes of the few men in the bar and disdainfully curled her lips.
Even her poor figure was better than that of Lin Qiaoxia, who hadn't fully developed yet, she didn't know where the courage to show off came from!
Listening to the deafening music in the bar, Lin Qiaoxia, following beside Mu Jinyu, furrowed her brows uncomfortably.
She felt that she really didn't like this kind of environment.
She really wondered why the public relations department people liked to come here to play?
Later, when she entered the bar, seeing a net-famous sister from the public relations department flirting with a man dripping in gold and jewels, allowing him to take liberties with her, she vaguely understood why they were eager to come to the bar.
Following the lead of the Snake Spirit Face sister, they walked to a crescent-shaped booth, and the sister turned around and said, "Have a seat first, some people haven't arrived yet, order whatever you want to drink, after all, Manager Chen is treating us tonight."
After saying that, she ran to the center of the dance floor and began gyrating her snake-like waist, her seductive dancing drawing the gaze of several men in the bar toward her.
"Take a seat."
At the crescent-shaped booth, a few colleagues from the public relations department, already dressed in youthful and beautiful outfits showing off swathes of pale skin, nonchalantly said as they saw Mu Jinyu and Lin Qiaoxia approaching.
After saying that, seeing more people entering the bar, they couldn't help but look that way, trying to see if they were male or female, if male, to see if they were poor or rich, if rich, to see if they were tall or handsome...
These women thought very highly of themselves, believing that ordinary nouveau riche weren't worthy of them and that they could marry into wealth.
Mu Jinyu, seeing their attitude, vaguely guessed their thoughts and shook her head slightly, not bothering to say anything and went to the bar to get a few bottles of fruit juice.
"Pfft!"
The sisters, seeing that the newcomers were no wealthy men, felt secretly disappointed, and then seeing Mu Jinyu, a lone man coming to the bar not to order cocktails or fine liquor but to actually drink a beverage.
They couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You really are something, a man who comes to a bar to drink a beverage, it's the first time I've seen this."
"Maybe the person is allergic to alcohol, don't laugh, haha..."
Mu Jinyu glanced at them, handed a bottle of fruit juice to Lin Qiaoxia, and casually said, "I can't hold my liquor, get drunk after a few drinks, and might even start acting crazy, so it's safer to just drink a beverage."
Upon hearing this, the group looked at Mu Jinyu with wary eyes, afraid he might suddenly start acting crazy and start trouble, and advised disdainfully, "Then you better stick to beverages."
After saying that, still seemingly afraid Mu Jinyu might cause trouble, they quickly moved away from the booth as if escaping, to another place.
Mu Jinyu nodded toward Lin Qiaoxia, saying, "It's good that they left; let's sit by ourselves."
"Okay." Lin Qiaoxia obediently responded, sitting down with Mu Jinyu, then sipped her drink while watching the men and women twisting and turning on the dance floor.
Soon, Manager Chen, Wen Yan, and those who rode with Wen Yan, all arrived at the Night Cat Bar.
Manager Chen knew Wen Yan's intentions because, keeping in mind Wen Yan's status, she deliberately wanted to assist him in his scheme to entice Lin Qiaoxia, so she took the initiative to sit with Wen Yan and the others in Little Mu's booth.
Once seated in the booth, Manager Chen looked at the two, who were drinking soft drinks, and couldn't help but frown.
If they don't drink alcohol, and don't get drunk, how could Lin Qiaoxia cooperate with her plan later?
Then, Manager Chen took another look at Mu Jinyu, the glaring third wheel, and thought she needed to handle him first, so she smiled and said, "Little Mu, how come you only drink soft drinks at the bar? Didn't we agree at lunch that I'd host a welcome party for you tonight at the bar, and now you aren't drinking? Come on, chug a bottle!"
After speaking, she opened a bottle of liquor and handed it to Mu Jinyu.
Mu Jinyu smiled and shook his head, repeating the refusal he had given earlier.
Hearing this, Manager Chen felt that Mu Jinyu was bluffing her, but since he put it that way, she couldn't exactly pry open his mouth and pour the liquor down his throat, could she?
Feeling frustrated, Manager Chen turned to look at Wen Yan, who was encouraging Lin Qiaoxia to drink, and also smiled and added, "Qiaoxia, when Manager Wen kindly offers you a drink, it's really rude not to accept! And besides, you owe your job in the company to Manager Wen speaking up for you. Otherwise, with your qualifications, you wouldn't have gotten into Jinyu Company at all. So, you really should be the one to offer a toast to Manager Wen."
"What?! Is that true? I got into the company because Manager Wen spoke on my behalf?" Lin Qiaoxia, upon hearing this, was quite taken aback, having never expected the truth to be this.
"Of course." The people who had come with Wen Yan chimed in softly, "Your qualifications were really poor, and initially, the HR department didn't even want you. If it hadn't been for Manager Wen who fought against everyone's opinions, how could you have entered our company?"
"That's right, you might have also heard the rumor about Director Wen's cousin, who is our company's vice president. It's actually true. I saw Director Wen himself calling Brother Wen his cousin."
"Yep, your entry into the company indeed happened because Brother Wen put in a good word for you. And it's said that Director Gu, who just joined our company today, was originally the president of our arch-enemy, Face of Jade Group. Normally our company wouldn't have accepted her, but she managed to get in, and right away as a vice president, all thanks to Brother Wen's help."
"…"
As they spoke, everyone picked up a bottle—red, white, and yellow—and poured Lin Qiaoxia a glass each, urging her to drink it all down, or else she would be letting Wen Yan down.
Looking at all the alcohol, Lin Qiaoxia's scalp tingled, and she was about to say she couldn't drink it all.
Manager Chen, already irritated from her earlier interaction with Mu Jinyu, noticed Lin Qiaoxia's uneasy expression, narrowed her eyes, and said, "Qiaoxia, don't tell me, you are the type to go wild after getting drunk?"
Mu Jinyu, hearing their coaxing Lin Qiaoxia to drink, nearly burst out laughing.
Then, seeing Lin Qiaoxia seemingly persuaded to drink that much liquor, he quickly interjected, stopping her with a cold look towards Wen Yan and scoffed, "Sister Qiaoxia, don't listen to their nonsense. When it comes to hiring, what right does a little procurement manager like him have to call the shots? Moreover, he's just joined a few days ago; who would listen to him?"
As he said this, the faces of those who had been boasting froze instantly.
Wen Yan's face turned embarrassed, and then he suddenly slammed the table, shouting angrily:
"You pretty boy, what do you know?!
My cousin is the company's vice president. If I mention hiring someone, can't the company make it happen?
You always fail to recognize your place and provoke me over and over again. Do you think I wouldn't lose my temper?!"
