Chapter 856  : To Be Estranged in the Same Room (9)

Her client was Director Li. With his assistant in tow, he saw Xu Wennuan when he entered but showed no sign of approaching her. Instead, he waited until she stood up and waved at him with a smile on her face before he walked over to her.magic

He was still five feet away from the dining table when Xu Wennuan said, “Hello, Director Li.”After a few months of intense training, she still did not possess completely discerning eyes, but there were many things that she could detect. She knew what kind of intentions Director Li had. When she had first started doing business, she could not put up with the subjective gazes from the males, and she had even once walked away from a client; however, there were too many clients who were like that. If she resisted every single one of them, it would be difficult for her to earn a living, much less repay her debt.

I need to grow and adapt… As long as I’m not being taken advantage of, I’ll learn to put up with it.

Xu Wennuan forced herself to neglect the proximity between her and Director Li. She cocked her head and handed the menu to him. “Director Li, please choose what you want.”

Director Li took the menu, summoned the waiter, and started ordering. At the end, he even asked for two bottles of white wine. When the waiter served the wine, Director Li had his assistant open the bottles without even waiting for their food. He poured the wine into three glasses. He placed one glass before Xu Wennuan, took another for himself, and raised it before her. “Miss Xu, here’s a toast to our first meeting.”

Xu Wennuan had still not completely adapted to the practice of drinking with clients at dinner, but she was no longer the person she had been back then. She had no one and no capital to back her up now. Even though the sight of the alcohol worried her, she still raised her glass with a smile and knocked it against Director Li’s glass before taking a sip.

…

Only 30 minutes into drinking while waiting for dinner, Xu Wennuan had already been made to drink half a bottle of white wine. Perhaps due to her flu, the alcohol did not sit well in her stomach. When Director Li handed her another full glass of wine, she could no longer stay put. She apologized and told him, “I’m going to the restroom,” before getting up and rushing toward the restroom with shaky legs.
