Chapter 652: What Tricks Were You Up To (2)

After the meeting ended, Xu Weilai followed Zuo An back to his office.

Before Zuo An entered his office, he smiled at her and said, “Weilai, attend the dinner function with me tonight.”

“Okay.”

After working together recently, he had gradually stopped calling her Xu Weilai. He called her Weilai instead to show his intimacy towards her. Previously, he would occasionally ask her to come along, but most of the time, he brought Qiao Chu instead.

Today, he asked her to come along to the dinner that Gu Yu would also be attending.

She wondered what tricks was he up to this time.

On the other side.

Zuo Si followed Gu Yu back to his office. Gu Yu was going through a document nonchalantly behind his desk as if nothing had happened. She took a step forward and with a serious expression, she said in a deep voice, “CEO Gu, will you really be attending the dinner function tonight? Aren’t you worried that…”

Gu Yu interrupted her, “I know what I’m doing.”

He paused for a moment, then sneered, “Since he wants to test me out, let him try. Even if he did not manage to do it this time around, he would definitely try again next time.”

“And another thing, you’ve lost your composure too many times. You shouldn’t be having these emotional outbursts. ”

It was a simple comment, but Zuo Si let out a restless expression as the commentary rained on her like icy cold water and drenched her from head to toe. Her initial stiffness turned into self-mock, “How could I compare myself to you, CEO Gu.”

“But you’re right. I’ve been losing control of my emotion a lot recently. It’s just that someone doesn’t appreciate my kindness.”

“You may leave now.” Gu Yu coldly muttered.

Zuo Si seemed to find it amusing and she sneered at him. “It’s my bad for being nosy. I’m relieved that CEO Gu has already had a plan in mind.”

She turned around and left after she said that.

She stood outside the closed door of Gu Yu’s office and clenched her fist tightly, burying all her restlessness and emotions. Then, she loosened her grips. Her usual arrogant and cold expression returned. She strode off with her head held high.

The dinner was organized at the Gu Garden Country Club.

Qiao Chu drove Zuo An and Xu Weilai to the country club. As for Gu Yu, assistant Lin drove him. The two cars left the Gu Corporation’s building at the same time. During the journey, Qiao Chu and assistant Lin seemed to be competing with each other. They skillfully controlled their car speed, trying to overtake each other whenever they had the chance, each unwilling to be at the losing end.

In the end, they arrived at the entrance of the Gu Garden Country Club at about the same time.

There were quite many high-level executives from foreign groups that attended this dinner function. One of them was a Chinese from abroad who was well-versed in the ways of discussing business at a wine table. He was seen raising his glass often. As he does that, the others certainly could not deny him. They could only return the favor and drink, one glass after another.

Xu Weilai was a lady, so Zuo An would intercede for her. She did not need to drink, but Gu Yu, Zuo An, and assistant Lin were forced to drink quite a lot.

At this point, Xu Weilai could guess Zuo An’s intention in making Gu Yu attend the dinner. He might have also noticed that Gu Yu’s health wasn’t in top condition, so he deliberately set up this dinner to test him out.

If Gu Yu’s health wasn’t good, could his body take on that much alcohol? Would he collapse on the spot if he drank too much tonight?

Fortunately, after drinking a few rounds, although his face was a little red from tipsiness, he wasn’t much different from usual. Xu Weilai was slightly relieved.

Perhaps she was overthinking it. Perhaps it was just light sickness like cold or fever. He had probably recovered from them.

After the dinner function ended, assistant Lin was already too drunk to send Gu Yu home. Zuo An looked at Gu Yu, then at Xu Weilai, and said with a smile, “CEO Gu, Weilai did not drink tonight. I still have Qiao Chu to send me back. How about letting Weilai send you home?”
