Chapter 199
Edward was quite calm, probably getting up early. He leaned against the back of the chair lazily and wanted to light a cigarette to refresh himself, but he still gave up. He held a porcelain-white teacup with his slender hand and said lightly, “You can’t say that. My sister-in-law is old, and she won’t have a second child. My elder brother only has one daughter, Penelope.”
“My father only has two sons. I’m sure Uncle Bo knows a little about my family. My future wife must give birth to a successor for me, but not for Sophie.”
Ryan immediately asked, “What do you mean?”
Edward didn’t make it clear. There were some things that could be stopped as soon as possible. Ryan was an experienced man, so he could naturally react. The rest of the things were the Bailey family’s family affairs. He didn’t need to interfere in other people’s business.
The phone rang again. Edward glanced at it lazily, and finally lit a cigarette. She flicked the ash on the crystal ashtray between her fingers and said, “I thought that Sophie’s mother was looking for me to redeem her marriage with her daughter. Now it seems that she wants to redeem her marriage with you.”
Ryan didn’t look well. Seemingly thinking of something, he left with a livid face.
Edward sat in the private room for a while before leaving.
During lunch break.
Jolene had an important social event, so she asked Nelissa to accompany him. They were accompanied by Wang Lin, the manager of the marketing department. They took the same car, and Jolene was in charge of driving. Wang Lin talked to them in a soft voice from time to time as if he was familiar with them, as if he didn’t feel awkward as before.
Nelissa smiled and sighed in her heart. If she hadn’t seen Wang Lin’s ability, she would have thought that this woman was a kind and pleasant colleague. Although she was the boss’s relative, she didn’t put on airs at all.
In fact, people didn’t know what to do.
The workplace was like a battlefield.
When Nelissa had just started working, if Jolene hadn’t been there with her, she would have been trapped badly.
Jolene and Wang Lin chatted very well, laughing from time to time.
Nelissa turned her face to look out of the car window, her brows slightly knitted. She wanted to remind Jolene to be careful.
They went to a four-star hotel. The environment was good. There was a decent spray fountain outside, and it looked very high-end.
Nelissa, Jolene, and Wang Lin entered the elevator. The elevator was filled with workers. They asked them if they wanted to go to the private rooms on the second floor and pressed the button on the second floor. Without a word, they went up to the second floor in a short while. On the left, Jolene opened the door and went in.
The customers arrived earlier than them. There were five or six men, all of whom were men. All of them were dressed in suits of different colors, but their temperaments were very different.
Nelissa gave him a quick glance and quickly analyzed: The man in the middle should be their boss or boss. His status must be high, and his temperament was particularly good. He had a good appearance, and his suit was more advanced than others, and he was quite young. A poor man and a successful man could really tell at a glance that when he was young, he could be called a poor boy. But when he was poor at a certain age, there were only two words left.
And this man was completely like a successful person.
Nelissa nodded at him first.
Jolene had taught them to first catch the enemy and then the king. Their job was to convince the client to sign the contract with some petty tricks. There was no point in wasting words with small soldiers and generals. Humans didn’t have the right to talk, so they should put all their efforts on those who had the right to talk. As for whether they could succeed or not, it depended on their own ability.
“Wang Ze’an.” The man stood up and introduced himself, stretching out his hand to Nelissa.
Even Nelissa seemed to have noticed that Wang Ze’an was blinking at her. Her heart skipped a beat.
Jolene was extremely experienced. His reaction was quick as he held Wang Yi’an’s hand and greeted, “Hello, President Wang. I’m Jolene, and this is my subordinate, Nelissa. This is the manager of the marketing department, Wang Lin. Beside him is her secretary.”
Several people greeted Wang Yi’an one by one. Wang Yi’an said, “Sit down.”
Only then did they take their seats one by one. Jolene tilted his head to one side and whispered into Nelissa’s ear, “Don’t drink anymore later and drive back.”
Nelissa nodded in silence. Luckily, there were many people attending this social event, so she would not have been discovered if she had secretly exchanged for a cup of clean water without drinking. She was experienced in this matter and had gone to social activities with Jolene many times, so she had learned how to adapt to it.
People needed to cultivate in the workplace, so did people.
The rich dishes and wine were served on the table. They ate and talked about official business. With Jolene and Wang Lin, the two female superiors, Nelissa and the other secretary didn’t have much right to speak. They could only eat and drink with each other, but they couldn’t just eat and eat, which was stupid and ridiculous.
So Nelissa took the initiative to ask for a toast. “I’ll pour you some wine. You can only enjoy it when you drink and talk. Eat less, and then you’ll have to go to the toilet when you have enough food.”
The crowd burst into laughter, and the serious atmosphere of talking about business eased a lot. Nelissa opened a bottle of Maotai and asked the waitress to bring her a porcelain cup for tea. She said that she was used to drinking this cup and needed to wash the cup with boiled water. Others thought that she had mysophobia, so they did not care.
So what was in Nelissa’s cup was white water and others was white wine.
After drinking one round after another, Nelissa realized that Wang Yi’an’s alcohol tolerance was surprisingly good. It was actually even better than Jolene’s. Jolene was obviously much better. He narrowed his eyes and held his chin with one hand as he spoke, giving off an indescribable aura.
Nelissa knew it was a demon.
For some reason, Wang Ze’an glanced at her. He lowered his head and whispered something into Jolene’s ear. He smiled, but Jolene could only keep him company.
Seeing this, Wang Lin gave Jolene another push. He pursed his lips and smiled as he asked Jolene to toast President Wang. He had just sipped a little. The expensive Maotai had three bottles, and half of them were from Jolene’s stomach. He was very worried.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Fortunately, Wang Ze’an was not too hard to deal with. He also intended to sign the contract with them. At the end of the meal, he signed the contract without making it difficult for them.
However, Nelissa was wrong. After paying the bill, Wang Yi’an said, “Let’s go to the next round.”
Obviously, he would not let her go.
Since Jolene had been drinking like this, he wouldn’t be able to stop himself from drinking again. Nelissa’s capacity for alcohol wasn’t very good, and it wasn’t clear whether she could endure it or not. She decided to turn him down, since the contract had already been signed.
Wang Lin, on the other hand, smacked the table. “Alright. It’s rare for President Wang to reward us. We’ll definitely accompany you to the end. Today is another good day. Let’s celebrate our good cooperation.” She turned around and said to Nelissa, “You and Jolene will accompany President Wang and the rest. I’ll bring the contract back to the company and give it to my uncle before hurrying over.”
Nelissa frowned. She knew that since Wang Lin was gone, he would definitely not come back again. At that time, she could just find an excuse that she could not say, and no one would care about it.
However, she couldn’t expose Wang Lin in front of him and say, “You can leave now. Why did you push her and Jolene into the pit?” Or, “No.”
Nelissa knew that her job in Jolene’s business was a bit of a bad one, but the amount of money she earned was much higher than that of an ordinary clerk. It wasn’t easy to reject a client’s job.
Wang Lin left with her secretary.
Jolene seemed to be slightly drunk. Her delicate hands brushed her curly hair, giving her a charming appearance.
After pondering for a while, Nelissa explained to Wang Ze’an, “Mr. Wang, both Mr. Cox and I have drunk a lot of wine. I’m afraid we can’t drive. If we are caught by the traffic police, we will be locked up for 15 days.”
Wang Ze’an immediately laughed and turned his head, ordering his subordinates to leave without waiting for him.
There were only the three of them in the private room.
Wang Yi lit a cigarette and looked at Nelissa with a smile. He nodded and said, “You drank plain water just now. Are you drunk?”
Nelissa immediately smiled awkwardly. She felt a little embarrassed that her little trick had been exposed.
She thought about it again. Even Wang Ze’an had noticed such a small matter. He was experienced and had always been paying attention to her?
Jolene suddenly waved his hand and said, “Let’s go.”
In the next round.
Wang Ze’an’s subordinates didn’t follow him. He was the only one, and the driver was responsible for driving for him. It was obvious that he was the boss of the company, and the ordinary high-level treatment was not so good.
Wang Yi’an asked Nelissa outside the car, “Get in the car and let’s go together?”
Nelissa quickly said, “No, we have a car. I can drive behind you.”
Wang Yi’an nodded and didn’t say anything. He raised the car window and ignored Nelissa.
Nelissa was driving the Jolene’s shabby car, following Wang Ze’an’s luxurious car. She should thank him for moving her car. She didn’t drive very fast, or she might not have been able to keep up.
As soon as Jolene got in the car, he curled up in the passenger’s seat and said that he wanted to narrow his eyes. Nelissa was anxious, but she didn’t dare to disturb her. It was good to let her narrow her eyes. Perhaps she wouldn’t be so drunk and would be sober.
Nelissa followed Wang Ze’an’s luxury car all the way, and her thoughts kept changing.
Wang Ze’an sent his subordinates away and asked her and Jolene to follow him. What was he trying to do? A man and two women? Didn’t he say that he was married? Should she call Edward? But if Edward knew it, he would be very angry. She didn’t dare. She was afraid that he would ask her to resign in anger and lock her up at home to let her reflect on herself.
Wang Youan’s car turned a corner at the intersection in front, followed by Nelissa. She watched helplessly as a luxury car worth millions parked in front of an inconspicuous restaurant.
Nelissa was slightly stunned. She slowly parked the car and pushed the Jolene to wake her up.
Jolene opened his eyes and rubbed his forehead. He glanced at the restaurant outside the window and said, “What a bad taste.”
Nelissa also thought so.
The two got out of the car. Wang Yian waited for them in the luxury car, and then led them into the restaurant. There were wooden round tables and chairs, disposable tableware, and a simple and crude environment that could not be compared with the four-star hotel just now. It was also out of place with Wang Yian’s high-class suit.
However, he sat down naturally and invited Nelissa and Jolene to sit down. Then, he ordered three dishes with the menu. He didn’t ask for any wine. It was really a pure meal.
Nelissa was distracted.
Wang Ze’an suddenly asked her, “Do you think I’m going to take you to a quiet place to get you drunk?”
Nelissa was stunned and didn’t answer.
Wang Ze’an blinked at her again. “When a man wants to find a woman, he usually doesn’t find a woman or a partner around him. First, he is tired of meeting every day, and second, if something goes wrong in the future, it will bring trouble. As the saying goes, a rabbit doesn’t eat the grass around its nest. If he wants to find a woman, he should find a better one.”
