Chapter 1415 No One Will Toast with You
Since Qiao Nan was sincere and treated them as adults, Sanbao thought about it for a moment, nodded, and agreed very reluctantly: "But Minister, I can't go home too late. It's almost five o'clock now, I have to go home at eight o'clock, okay?"
Qiao Nan had never participated in such a dinner party, and was not sure what time his colleagues would play until, so it was always right to make a statement in advance.
"Okay, I will definitely let you go home at eight o'clock." It was rare that the junior sister agreed to let everyone go out for dinner together to improve the relationship between colleagues, and He Yi was very happy. He was still worried that even with his protection, the people in the department would subtly trust Qiao Nan, and Qiao Nan's own strength, if he really gave his position to Qiao Nan, would someone be as dissatisfied as Deng Wenchang and make small moves in private to pull Qiao Nan down.
You know, the relationship between colleagues is built by getting along. This kind of getting along is not just a manifestation of strength at work.
For example, when Qiao Nan was in the internship period, even though Qiao Nan never participated in the department's activities, she was an intern at that time, and it was not particularly appropriate for Qiao Nan and Deng Wenchang to participate. But He Yi always supported Qiao Nan's friendly and moderate behavior.
The problem is that now Qiao Nan is in the system, some ways of doing things must be changed.
If he continued to maintain the same way as during the internship period, Qiao Nan's impression on colleagues in the department would be that she was either easy to bully or too cold, and it was not easy to win the hearts of the people.
Today, when Qiao Nan agreed to go out for dinner together, He Yi was so happy. This junior sister is really worry-free. He hadn't told the junior sister about this situation yet, but the junior sister thought of it first and solved the problem.
Sure enough, his decision to hand over his burden to the junior sister was correct.
At the dinner table, everyone saw that Qiao Nan was young, so they only let Qiao Nan drink beer, and the others followed their own habits and drank whatever they usually drank today.
When everyone had a glass of wine, someone directly proposed: "Come on, come on, let's drink to today's hero, our minister, and our Comrade Xiao Qiao!"
"Cheers, yes, cheers!" The newcomers can work hard and can greatly share the tasks and burdens of their old people. Who wouldn't be happy if someone helped them do the work?
"Cheers, everyone, let's raise a toast."
Everyone was in a good mood and stood up and raised their glasses very cooperatively, including Qiao Nan and He Yi. Of course, there is always that one person who is "maverick" and seems particularly unsociable.
Deng Wenchang had a stern face,
as if someone owed him 10 million and had not paid it back for several years. He stood up slowly, picked up the glass reluctantly, and raised half of it. During the whole process, Deng Wenchang was like a mute, unable to laugh or speak, and the lively atmosphere was completely cooled down.
"..."
Many people twitched their mouths and wanted to kick Deng Wenchang in the ass. Everyone was very happy. If Deng Wenchang was really so unwilling, no one would force him to come. Go wherever you want. Don't stay here. It's not only annoying, but also ruining the fun!
"Cheers." Qiao Nan simply ignored Deng Wenchang. Qiao Nan didn't see many people like Deng Wenchang, but she had met many people. She had met them for two lifetimes. The more you take Deng Wenchang seriously, the more trouble Deng Wenchang can make, just like Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin at home.
Ignoring such people, these people will feel uncomfortable and uncomfortable, and in the end they may not dare to fart at anyone.
In Qiao Nan's eyes, Deng Wenchang is as old as a child. The problem is that Deng Wenchang is not Qiao Nan's son. Qiao Nan has no obligation to tolerate the willful and sickly Deng Wenchang so infinitely.
Whatever you want, do you really think the earth will stop spinning without him?
What a joke!
Qiao Nan was young, and her tone was not particularly strong. At most, it sounded crisp and clear, which was quite helpful in boosting the atmosphere. A second ago, many people were angry because of Deng Wenchang's lifeless performance. The next second, under the leadership of Qiao Nan, those who liked to toast, regardless of Deng Wenchang, toasted first.
The sound of the glass cups colliding was very crisp, which made people feel excited and pushed the atmosphere up again. Even though Qiao Nan was a girl, facing the beer in the cup, Qiao Nan was as generous as a man and drank it in one gulp, which made many people shout "good" repeatedly.
Next, the atmosphere was harmonious and warm. Everyone had a smile on their face and their voices were raised. The atmosphere was better than ever. Of course, except for that one exception.
When toasting, everyone ignored Deng Wenchang. Everyone raised their glasses high, but Deng Wenchang raised half of them gloomily and softly.
Okay, I don't want to do it, so I won't do it with you.
Everyone clinked their glasses, but Deng Wenchang's glass didn't make any sound.
After that, everyone chatted with each other, and everyone had someone to chat with. The chat was great, but Deng Wenchang was the only one who remained silent, not even saying "hmm". Apart from sitting on a stool, occupying a seat, and using a set of dining utensils, he was no different from a wooden man, without any sense of existence. No one was willing to talk to someone as unsociable as Deng Wenchang, and no one was so cheap.
Before eight o'clock, He Yi reminded Qiao Nan that it was almost time to go back.
During the whole process, except for the first glass at the beginning, He Yi didn't stop him. After that, He Yi watched Qiao Nan drink.
Because of this situation, several colleagues laughed at He Yi: "Hey, Minister, I know you cherish talents and care about the younger generation, but what you did is too much. If we didn't know that your sister-in-law gave birth to a son for you, our nephew is still studying. Otherwise, we would all doubt whether Xiao Qiao is your daughter."
Apart from a father to his daughter, who else can be so caring to a little girl.
We are all men. Whether He Yi's concern for Qiao Nan is out of a man's concern for a woman or out of an elder's concern for a younger generation, no one will be wrong or have any misunderstandings.
In fact, not only He Yi, but many people in the department also treat Qiao Nan as a younger generation in the family. So when drinking, no one has been trying to force Qiao Nan to drink because she is a woman.
On the contrary, Qiao Nan didn't add wine for herself, and no one would say that Qiao Nan's glass was out of wine and asked him to add it quickly. And because Qiao Nan was the only one drinking beer at the table, they only asked the waiter to bring one bottle, and no one refilled the second bottle.
