Chapter 709: Workplace Cunning!
"Factory Manager Liu’s dinner is really lavish!"
Looking at the table full of dishes and those high-grade cups of Moutai.
Zifeng’s eyes lit up as he clicked his tongue in amazement.
Although this hotel isn’t top-notch, it’s pretty decent for the industrial area.
"Manager Lin, you do have a way with words, compared to people of your level, this table full of dishes is practically nothing for you, just enough to pick your teeth. I hope the two of you won’t mind and will make sure to enjoy the good food and drink today."
Liu Qingtian laughed heartily and first winked at the female secretary.
He personally handed a full cup of Moutai to Director Zhang, saying with a smile, "Having Director Zhang here today is like a powerful counterattack from me, Liu. Here, this cup is my tribute to Director Zhang."
Liu Qingtian stood up with his cup in hand and downed it in one go.
"Oh, and this cup, I apologize on behalf of Factory Manager Liu to Director Zhang and Manager Lin. There might have been some unpleasantness between Manager Lin and Factory Manager Liu just now, so, on his behalf, I toast to Manager Lin."
With that said, Secretary Gao also stood up, with a full two ounces of Moutai, she imitated Liu Qingtian and downed it in one gulp.
She looked incredibly refreshing and straightforward.
"Manager Lin, isn’t it your turn now?" the woman asked with a light laugh.
Her captivating eyes, now paired with that strong shot of Moutai she’d just consumed, made the woman’s flushed face even more alluring.
"I’m not very good at drinking."
"How could Manager Lin possibly not know how to drink?" The woman, having consumed a cup, started to become more unrestrained.
Pouring the Moutai again, with a tender and lingering voice, she enticingly suggested, "It’s rare to see a man who can’t drink. How about I keep Manager Lin company for a few drinks?"
Secretary Gao, twirling in her OL outfit, flaunted her shapely rear as she nonchalantly walked over to Zifeng.
Whether the buttons on her purple blouse had truly come undone or if it was deliberately done to tease was unclear.
Through the blouse, the fair skin beneath exuded an alluring fragrance.
The lace-edged, patterned bra could hardly contain what was inside, revealing much of the fair, ivory-like beauty.
At this moment, Zhang Xixi suddenly coughed twice, clearly in a bad mood.
"Hehe, Director Zhang, I’ve toasted you. Look, shouldn’t you give me a little face?" Liu Qingtian quickly rolled his eyes, hastily diverting Zhang Xixi’s attention.
"I’m sorry, I really don’t drink much." Zhang Xixi’s impression of Liu Qingtian, which was initially positive, was now gradually crumbling.
"Oh my, Director Zhang, you must have encountered all sorts of clients in your line of work, how can you possibly not drink? Come on, this is a toast from good old Liu to you, you can take it lightly."
At this point, Liu Qingtian had decided to take the plunge, the one surnamed Sun had already said that no matter what, they had to trap Zhang Xixi. A wicked idea suddenly popped into his head.
Zhang Xixi’s refusal far exceeded his expectations, and he wasn’t prepared to use that move until it was absolutely necessary.
"I really can’t drink much, but if I could, today I would have definitely shared a hearty drink with Factory Manager Liu." Zhang Xixi, her face flushed, was extremely embarrassed. Being a very shy girl by nature, she disliked being verbose.
From the day Zifeng met her, he had never heard Zhang Xixi complain, nor had he ever heard her utter an unnecessary word. She was that kind of girl, silently enduring everything.
"Hehe, if Director Zhang doesn’t drink, how about some soft drinks instead?" Liu Qingtian’s heart skipped a beat, worried that his plan was falling apart.
"Mm-hmm." Zhang Xixi nodded.
Soft drinks were always better than alcohol, they were something she could actually drink.
"Could you, Xiao Gao, please get a glass of Fresh Orange Duo for Director Zhang?"
"Mm-hmm, sure. Director Zhang, please wait a moment." The woman vanished with a smile from in front of Lin Zifeng, her purple shirt barely containing the pink cherries that were largely noticeable.
"Supervisor Lin, Director Zhang, help yourselves to anything, I need to step out for a moment."
Liu Qingtian waved his hand, his plump body quickly squeezing through towards the exit of the private room.
With a "bang," the door of the private room shut.
Bored to death, Lin Zifeng casually took out a cigarette and lit it unconcernedly.
"Big Brother Lin, do you feel like there’s something off about them?"
Zhang Xixi peered cautiously at the door, relaxing only after confirming that Liu Qingtian had left.
"Heh, there are just too many abnormal people these days."
"Could they be embezzling? They’ve been leading us in circles all night, and it seems like we still haven’t gotten to the main point. I have this unsettling intuition."
Zhang Xixi glanced shyly, not daring to look at the man, because whenever she did, her cheeks would uncontrollably flush.
"What’s there to fear? Could they possibly be scarier than your Big Brother Lin?" the man asked with a smile, blinking.
At once, Zhang Xixi’s face turned even more bashfully red, her head bowed. She didn’t know how to respond to his wicked question...
Right after Liu Qingtian stepped out, Secretary Gao brought over a glass of juice.
"Factory Manager, what should we do now?" The woman’s graceful figure kept undulating.
"Right, Xiao Gao, tonight you might need to make some sacrifices." Liu Qingtian pondered for half a second, his face extremely stiff.
"Just tell me what to do. Is it about sacrificing my charms?" The woman uttered candidly, laying bare the thoughts in Liu Qingtian’s mind.
Instantly, Liu Qingtian’s eyes flickered as he stared at her for a moment.
"Yes, you might have to sacrifice a little tonight, but don’t worry, you won’t be doing it for nothing. How about a bonus of five hundred thousand afterward?"
"Hehe, as long as Factory Manager Liu strikes it rich, just don’t forget about me, that’s all. What’s a little sacrifice?"
Secretary Gao’s enunciation was musical, her standard melon-seed face replete with seduction,
"Rest assured, as long as I, Liu Qingtian, stand, you’ll live a much better life than you do now," Liu Qingtian said, his eyes darting with uncertainty, and he asked, "Did you put the thing I asked you to put?"
"Relax, when have you ever had to worry about how I handle things?"
"Mm-hmm, that’s good. Once I have their Achilles’ heel, I refuse to believe they can wriggle out of the palm of my hand!"
A hint of fierce light flashed in Liu Qingtian’s eyes, he was brimming with confidence as he pushed open the door to the private room.
By this time, Lin Zifeng had drunk a bit, while Zhang Xixi still appeared very composed.
"Director Zhang, here is your drink." The woman enthusiastically opened the lid for her and personally poured her a full glass.
Liu Qingtian’s burning gaze was fixed on Zhang Xixi’s glass, he seemed almost too eager inside.
