Ruoxin Chen left angrily after he lost his temper, and Leon then let go of his hand that held my waist just now.
“Do you need the approval of the board of directors if you do some important projects? What if Ruoxin Chen interferes the project and the directors disapprove it?” I asked him worriedly.
“They have denied my projects many times. If they still disapprove mine, then I will inform its specific conditions to the shareholders, to let them know that the board chosen by them just stop them from earning money in this way. If they continue to deny the good projects and approve the bad ones, then our group would only become worse and worse.”
“There are too many fights of power in the Hua’s Company, and the losses caused by it are also too many, so we don’t know when we can put an end of it. I myself haven’t given too much thought of the complexity of the structure of the shareholders in the Hua’s, and even Ruoxin Chen can be one of the directors, whose family is related to politics. Why doesn’t she avoid her background at all?”
“What she represents is not the Chen’s family, but another company, which has nothing to do with Mayor Chen at all, so she does not need to avoid it. Besides, there are too many examples as parents are politicians and the children are businessmen. And which one of them have avoided their background ?”
What he said indeed made sense. When parents were politicians and the children were businessmen, usually the parents had a good career and the children could earn much money, which was a perfect family combination.
At this time, Wenbei Su came over to us,” Now that you have known the people you ought to know and greeted the ones you ought to greet, why don’t we leave now, and go to another place to have a drink?”
“We will drink again?” I looked at Leon and said.
“There’s a saying, ‘the guests will do as the host arrange’, so we will do as what my Brother Wenbei arrange.” Leon said.
“When I went to the Hai City, Leon served me with maotai which had been stored for thirty years, and now you come to the Yang City, of course I can’t let you leave just after drinking some champagne, right?” Wenbei laughed and said.
“But it is quite late.” I pointed at my watch.
“Women are just annoying, if you think it’s too late, then I will send you back to the hotel to rest, and I will go to drink with Wenbei.” Leon said coldly.
It seemed that they had become good friends in such a short time, and now they could call each other’s names directly.”
Now that they would go to drink, of course I wouldn’t go back to the hotel alone, but follow them instead.
The place we went was the personal villa of Wenbei’s, and the wine table had been prepared in his garden, with sandalwood lit around to prevent the bother of the mosquito.
The lights nearby were all turned off and many candles were lit. The beautiful tableware and the delicious food to be eaten with wine seemed to be very distinctive under the candlelight.
I had only seen people eat western food under the candles, but had never seen people drink liquor under them, which is such a creative way.
Then we sat on our seats respectively and the liquor was served.
The liquor was still Maotai, which looked like had been stored for some ages too.
After the liquor was poured into his glass, Leon made a compliment,” The liquor has more ages than the one we drank last time at my house. So Wenbei, now you want to compete with me and win?”
Wenbei laughed,” We all know that Leon like eating fish and drinking Maotai, now that you come to my house today, of course I must serve you with my best Maotai and the most delicious fish, or else it would be a bad treatment of mine.”
After hearing his words, Leon’s eyes become bright and asked,”There will be fish served?”
“I asked my subordinates to go fishing before we went to the wine party, and the fish was just sent ten minutes ago, which is being cooked in the kitchen now. It is absolutely fresh river fish, since I know that Leon’s favorite is fish and is a master of eating it, of course I do not dare to serve you bad one.”
Leon opened his mouth and smiled suddenly,”Amazing, we must get drunk tonight or we will not go home!”
I said worriedly,”You’d better not drink too much, since tomorrow we will come back to Hai City.”
“Don’t be so verbose, now that we have such a good Maotai, which is hard to buy even with a great deal of money, what a pity if we don’t drink it! You can make your own choice, if you don’t drink, then you can see us drink it, but don’t ruin our joy.”
Although I was still drunk in his attractive smile, he suddenly made complaints about me, and then I had no mood to enjoy.
Leon also realized that his complaints made me feel disappointed, so he comforted me by saying,”If you are sleepy, we can ask Wenbei to find you a place to have a rest and I will wake you up after I finish drinkig, then we can go back together, is it okay? Now that Wenbei had served us with such good liquor and fish, we will disappoint Wenbei’s great hospitality if we don’t eat.”
“Yes, Nala, my little sister, join us to have a drink. The liquor is of some ages and has good flavour but it isn’t strong, you will be fine even if you drink one glass of it.” Wenbei also convinced me to drink.
During our conversation, the fish was served, and Leon praised it after seeing it. Even if we hadn’t started to eat, Leon had made many comments which I could not quite understand.
After I tasted it, I felt the fish was indeed delicious.
But I could not tell why it was so delicious, and only Leon could made clear views about it, after all, he was the master of eating fish.
The liquor was good too, and it was soft with good flavour and left a lingering taste, indeed was a top one.
The liquor has been stored in my house for five years, and I haven’t tasted it for all those years, because I’m afraid that if I serve it to someone who don’t have the ability to drink it well, then it will be much of a waste.” Wenbei said.
Thank you, Wenbei, for your great hospitality, cheers.” Leon raised his glass and said.
They drank in turn, and were drunk gradually, their pale faces started to turn red.
“Wenbei, I actually want to hear you talk about your sister. Why the owner of the restaurant thought that Nala was your sister? Do you have the same thought, so you recognize her as your sister?” Leon seemed a little drunk, but his words were very logical and highly targeted.
Wenbei didn’t answer him at once, he drank a sip of the liquor and frowned a little.
“If I made you feel awkward, then you don’t have to say anything. I just asked you this question casually. That’s all” Leon added.
“Yes, she does look like my sister. When I first met her, I just felt she looked like her. I was very excited at that time, but I was afraid that I would frighten her, so I didn’t dare to say too much to her. But I know she is not my sister, because Nan Su indeed has been dead for many years.” Wenbei said a little bit sadly.
Leon nodded,”Excuse me for bringing about your sad memory again. I am just wondering that if it is possible that Nala is really your sister.”
“That’s impossible, my sister has been dead for many years. But indeed they look alike, and we are very lucky, so I see her as my sister. No matter how, I will treat her as my own sister.” Wenbei said.
The two handsome men talked and drank, even mentioned such topics as their companies, stock market and investment, anyway, they talked about all kinds of topics.
I had never seen Leon talked so much with other people, and I really gained some unique experiences tonight.
Before we realized, it was late night and we had finished drinking the liquor. Leon stood to move his long arms and legs and said,” Thank you for your good treatment, but we have to go now.”
Wenbei said,” Okay, I will send you a driver to drive you back to the hotel, then I will pick you up tomorrow and we will have breakfast together.”
Leon said,”Don’t bother, my driver has arrived and is waiting at the gate, I still have a project report tomorrow morning, so I have to go back to the Yang City now, and after I arrive, I will go to work directly after some preparation.”
I was angry after heard what he said at once,”Now that you have a meeting in the headquarter tomorrow, why you still drink till this late tonight?”
Leon answered me immediately,” Drinking has nothing to do with the work tomorrow morning, let’s go. We will leave now so we can still catch up the meeting tomorrow.”
“I’m very sorry about that, I didn’t recognize that Leon was so busy, and I should let you drunk in such a degree.” Wenbei said.
“Drinking and work are completely two matters, Brother Su, you need not care about it, or else I will be awkward. Alright, don’t walk with me any further, we still have much time to be together. When you have spare time, just come to the Hai City and I will serve you with top liquor. At that time, no matter how busy you are, just make sure you won’t decline my invitation.” Leon said to him.
Of course it is necessary to accompany a gentleman no matter what happens.”
“We will leave now, you’d better go back to have some rest.”
“Okay, I will send you to the gate.”
“Fine.”
“We are coming back now, goodbye, my Second Brother!” After sat in the car, I rolled down the window and waved goodbye to Wenbei.
“Goodbye, Wenbei.”
“Goodbye, Leon and my little sister.”
