Chapter 698: Chapter 698 This Undying Old Man
They had thought that after knowing the online rumors, Jia Kun would be very angry and would also decide not to sponsor them anymore.
To their surprise, not only did he not give them the cold shoulder, but he was also so enthusiastic, which caught Mo Jun and the others off guard.
Mo Jun was even more proactive as she said, “President Jia, here is our company’s information; I’ve prepared everything you might need. Rest assured, investing in our studio…”
“Miss Luo, let’s not talk about this for now, let’s eat first, shall we?” Jia Kun said to her with a smile.
Mo Jun snapped back to reality, “You’re right, let’s eat first. President Jia, please order the dishes, and don’t be shy.”
“Haha, Miss Luo, you’re too polite…” Jia Kun casually ordered some dishes and also called for a few bottles of red wine.
On the way to the restaurant, Yun Long had already agreed with Mo Jun that if there was drinking, he would drink on her behalf, and she just needed to make an excuse that she couldn’t drink.
However, Mo Jun was well prepared; she had brought a potion to counteract the effects of alcohol, so she wasn’t afraid of drinking.
The dishes were served quickly, and Jia Kun personally poured a glass of wine for Mo Jun, saying enthusiastically, “Miss Luo, come, I’ll toast this first glass to you!”
Mo Jun replied with a polite smile, “I should be the one toasting you, but I can’t really hold my liquor…”
“Hey, you can’t say that! How can we talk business without drinking? If Miss Luo doesn’t drink, it means she looks down on me, Jia,” Jia Kun said, feigning anger.
“President Jia, our boss indeed can’t drink. Let me drink on her behalf,” Yun Long volunteered.
Jia Kun’s expression grew even more displeased, “So, you’re the one who’s here to talk business with me, not Miss Luo? If we’re talking business, of course, there must be drinking involved. Otherwise, how easy do you think it is to get sponsorship? Miss Luo, as long as you drink with me to my satisfaction, the sponsorship won’t be a problem!”
“President Jia…” Yun Long also instantly turned cold, upset that he was demanding Xiaojun accompany him in drinking–was he seeking trouble?
“I’ll drink,” Mo Jun said with a smile, giving Yun Long a reassuring look. Then, she took out a bottle of water that she had brought with her, took a sip, and raised her glass to Jia Kun, “President Jia, I’ll toast this first glass to you, bottoms up.”
After saying this, she downed the glass in one go. Jia Kun, seeing how straightforward she was, laughed heartily, “Good! Miss Luo is really straightforward. Let’s have another glass! We should at least drink three glasses.”
“How about this, President Jia, let’s drink together, you too. What do you say?” Mo Jun proposed with a smile.
Of course, Jia Kun happily agreed, “Alright, cheers!”
“Cheers!” Mo Jun kept pace by drinking another two glasses with him, making it three glasses in total.
But her complexion didn’t change at all, and she still looked perfectly sober.
Jia Kun was surprised, “Didn’t you say Miss Luo can’t drink? It seems to me that you can handle quite a lot.”
Mo Jun laughed, “I just don’t show it on my face, but actually, I’m already close to my limit.”
“Are you trying to trick me?!” Jia Kun deliberately refused to believe her, “There’s one more bottle. We’ll finish it and then talk about the sponsorship. Miss Luo, since you can drink so well, I don’t think it will be a problem!”
“This old bastard…” Yun Long muttered under his breath. Mo Jun heard him, fortunately, Jia Kun did not.
Mo Jun also felt that this man was very annoying, but that’s just how the culture around the dining table works–almost any discussion involves drinking.
Right now their studio was just starting out, and they couldn’t grow without participating in the drinking culture.
Although she could rely on Hao Yansen, she didn’t want to depend on him for everything because if she did, she would have to depend on him for a lifetime and would turn to him for every problem, rendering her own problem-solving ability practically nonexistent.
