Chapter 1715 First Meeting (2)
Whether it was then or now, there is a very serious problem at the banquet: persuading people to drink.
Especially back then, participating in such a drinking party, and being a politician, one can drink quite a lot. Xia Siyu's drinking capacity after a bottle of beer is probably inherited from her mother. Wen Qunxiao doesn't drink, and she used to avoid it when attending activities, but this time, maybe everyone was drinking so much that she insisted on making everyone at the table drink, and it was white wine.
After this glass, Wen Qunxiao probably fell directly. She didn't want to drink, but everyone at the table, both men and women, were making a fuss.
In those days, there was no awareness of persuading people to drink like there is now. They just thought that if you don't drink, you are not sociable, and you don't give face to the leader. At that time, the entertainment industry was not well developed, and some actors even belonged to major film studios. When Wen Qunxiao was anxious, Xia Youbiao next to her couldn't stand it anymore, snatched the cup from her hand, and said with a smile: "She really doesn't drink, I'll drink it for her."
After he said that, he didn't let the other party have a chance to refuse, frowned, raised his neck and poured himself a glass.
After one glass of wine, everyone at the table was stunned, including Wen Qunxiao, who was snatched from the glass by him. Of course, she recognized this man at the beginning. After all, he was another "scumbag" she met on the day she broke up with her ex-boyfriend, and was slapped by his wife. It was hard to forget. She didn't expect that when everyone at the table forced her, it would be this "scumbag" who came out to help.
But before she had time to say anything, the person opposite spoke first. They were still not satisfied: "This... Although you drank for her. But she is a woman and can only drink one glass. If you drink for her, you have to drink three glasses of wine!"
If Xia Siyu heard this, she would probably laugh and overturn the table and throw the food on the spot. You dare to jump over my head and point fingers? Give you face?
But Xia Youbiao won because he was too gentle and soft-hearted. But he also lost here.
He paused, and the turntable turned the wine in front of him. He didn't even hesitate and poured himself another glass. Then, under everyone's eyes, he drank the whole glass in one gulp. Then, another glass. This time, he was obviously a little impatient when drinking, and some of the wine flowed out along the edge of the glass and the corners of his mouth. But most of the wine went into his stomach.
Three glasses of wine, one glass at a time. After he finished drinking, he also put the wine glass in front of him upside down, indicating that he basically drank the whole bottle of wine by himself.
At this moment, the whole table was silent, and then a thunderous voice broke out: "Okay!"
Xia Youbiao finished the wine, but his face did not change. But when he reached out to wipe his mouth with a tissue, his hand was a little trembling. Wen Qunxiao next to him helped him get the tissue. He also took it calmly and said, "Thank you."
Especially, because of these three glasses of wine, he attracted the attention of the leader at the next table. Xia Youbiao also talked to him about his idea of contracting the mountains and forests to plant trees and make solid wood furniture. It is easier to do things at the wine table. Although it is impossible to sign an agreement here, you have met and got to know the people, so it will be more convenient to talk about work in the future.
Wen Qunxiao was indeed a little surprised that he could drink so much and still talk about business with a rosy complexion. Although this guy is a scumbag, he is indeed loyal. He was very gentlemanly at the table just now, and did not take advantage of the alcohol to take advantage of others.
After drinking, she didn't have anything to talk about, so she found a chance to leave. It happened that the two of them went out one after another. While waiting for the car, Wen Qunxiao was behind and saw that Xia Youbiao's neck was densely covered with red rashes.
She was startled, and Xia Youbiao in front of her turned around, and she noticed that this guy even had a rash on his face. Outside, without a leader, Xia Youbiao relaxed at this time and asked her: "Do you have... hangover medicine?"
Wen Qunxiao shook her head, and then she saw Xia Youbiao smiled in front of her, and then fell in front of her.
There was nothing to say, and then her assistant arrived, and Wen Qunxiao and the two women, the assistant, carried him to the car and sent him to the hospital. Fortunately, paparazzi were not well-developed in that era, otherwise she would be scolded for sending a man who was negotiating a divorce to the hospital in the middle of the night.
Xia Youbiao was allergic to alcohol. At the hospital, the doctor prescribed medicine for him, fed him water, and asked him to rest in the hospital. After all, Wen Qunxiao had things to do, and she was also an artist, and she was afraid of being recognized in the hospital. So after sending him to the hospital, she asked the assistant to take care of him. The next day, Xia Youbiao woke up, asked the assistant for a phone number, and expressed his gratitude to her first. And said that he must compensate her for the medical expenses and thank her in person.
Wen Qunxiao shook her head: "No, I also want to thank you for blocking the wine for me."
"That was not for you, that was for my company." Although Xia Youbiao explained this, he did successfully connect with the leader by drinking later, but Wen Qunxiao understood that he should be grateful for the favor.
Thanks to the underdeveloped remittance business in that era, it was very troublesome to transfer money, and mobile payment was not possible. He said: "It's my principle to give. If it's inconvenient for you, I can go to your company and give it to you in person."
"No need." Wen Qunxiao hesitated and gave the address, "I will be here at Yancheng Film Studio before 8 pm. If you come..."
"I can definitely do it."
After hanging up the phone, Wen Qunxiao didn't take it seriously. Besides, she had just broken up with her scumbag ex-boyfriend, and she was not interested in provoking a "scumbag" who was still discussing divorce, even if this person helped her. After the call, she threw herself into work and put the phone call behind her. At eight o'clock in the evening, when she was about to go back, it started to rain.
It happened that because of the rain today, the assistant came to pick her up and encountered a traffic jam, and the traffic was slow. She was waiting in the communication room at the gate. Not long after she stood there, a man with an umbrella came over and poked his head and said, "Master, I want to go in, please register, I have an acquaintance inside, her name is Wen Qunxiao."
As soon as he finished speaking, he found Wen Qunxiao sitting inside. She stood up, Xia Youbiao smiled, and took out an envelope from his pocket, on which was written: "Medical expenses".
"Thank you for sending me to the hospital last night. I owe you the medical expenses." He was generous and didn't take advantage of me. He smiled and said, "Should I send you a banner for such a good deed? Give me some praise."
"You are so polite. You even came all the way here."
Seeing her here, Xia Youbiao was still confused: "Did you stay because it was raining? I drove here. Do you need me to take you?"
