Chapter Eight, Everything is in Love.

As a female student majoring in computer science, Jiao Ying was able to successfully enter the highly reputable Hongtong Software Technology Company after graduation. In her own words, she said she had really had a stroke of good luck.

Dong Yueran smiled and pointed at Jiao Ying, saying, "I was referring to her!"

Dong Yueran's face turned completely pale, but she still squeezed out a smile proudly and said, "It seems that I have hit myself in the face too hard this time."

Jiao Ying's eyes widened, and she asked carefully, "Boss, if I can't do it well, will you help me clean up?"

Mr. Bai answered candidly, "I want you to help me resist alcohol."

He looked at her with a smile that was not quite a smile, squinted his eyes, and nodded slightly, saying, "I should indeed raise a toast!"

Jiao Ying was taken aback. Hasn't she always relied on her looks to make a living? Why is she suddenly being asked to contribute with her technical skills? Moreover, she is just an intern who hasn't even been officially hired yet. Can she handle tasks like network maintenance in a big company?

The president smiled approvingly. Jiao Ying's legs went weak in that bright smile, and she stumbled out of the president's office.

Jiao Ying secretly glanced at Bai Zhan again and again. He remained silent, and it was unclear whether he was filled with passion in his heart or had already let go of the past like wisps of smoke. Jiao Ying hoped it was the latter. In her wild imagination, Bai Zhan suddenly turned his head. His gaze collided with her eyes, so fast that she couldn't even hide the resentment and desire flooding her face. He suddenly tugged at the corner of his mouth, with a half-smile that seemed to say, "Well, this time I caught you red-handed."

The original person they were talking about, the malignant traitor, is actually the vice president who almost caused the computer to crash last time. He has finally been found out for selling company trade secrets to a competing company, and was taken away by the police a few days ago for questioning.

She said, "Hi, are you Jiao Ying? I heard about you yesterday. They all said you can hold your liquor really well!"

Dong Yueran smiled calmly but insisted in a firm tone, "Take it with you."

3.

Since she didn't know when, Jiao Ying found that the person who poured her the most alcohol had become Bai Zhan, while others had gradually distanced themselves from her. In the past, when someone came to toast, Bai Zhan let her drink as she pleased, allowing her to drink and vomit in any way she wanted in front of others. But now, things are different. Whenever someone comes to toast, Bai Zhan can always divert the attention of the toasting person without a trace, making them drink with others.

Geng Qiang stumbled and said, "Dong Yueran, to be honest, I don't have a secretary. If my wife hears this, she will kill me!"

Bai Zhanzheng smiled and poured himself a drink in a leisurely manner. The container for the drink was not a wine glass, but a large bowl used for meals. "Alright, then I will punish myself with three bowls." He smiled and glanced at Jiao Ying, his eyes deep and filled with a thousand words.

Others clamored while Geng Qiang did not bring his own wife but instead brought a young girl with him to the banquet. Geng Qiang, feeling embarrassed, stood up and pointed at Bai Zhanhao, shouting, "He's the one who asked me to bring this young girl!"

7.

After four years of crazy flirting with various handsome guys in college, it is unexpected that her obsession with good-looking men not only has not been controlled, but has become even more intense and has developed into a late stage.

Jiao Ying felt that Dong Yueran was really proud to a certain extent, and she no longer bothered to beat around the bush with her, even when it came to matters of emotions, which should be the most subtle and reserved. So she directly and frankly replied, "Yes, I like him! If I didn't like him, why would I happily drink so much alcohol for him?"

Jiao Ying smiled and said, "Not at all, just relatively easy to get thirsty!"

During the recent gathering with his classmates, including Bai Zhan and Geng Qiang, Jiao Ying heard a piece of news that a female classmate from their school in the United States was returning to their home country. After organizing the fragmented information from everyone's discussions, Jiao Ying obtained a significant piece of information - this female classmate was once the goddess in the hearts of all the male students in their class. Almost every male student had thought of pursuing her, including Bai Zhan, Geng Qiang, and the other good brothers present. In the end, only Bai Zhan won the favor of the goddess.

Sometimes, during dinner parties, Jiao Ying would encounter Geng Qiang, who would angrily shout "traitor" at her.

Jiao Ying rushed out of the deputy general manager's office and asked the front desk to inquire about the location of the CEO. She stumbled and rushed over. After knocking on the door and hearing the deep and magnetic "please come in," Jiao Ying trembled and burst into the CEO's office. At first glance, she saw a face that was three points more handsome than in the photo. That folk Wu Yanzu was sitting there, squinting his eyes and looking towards the door, looking really pleasing to the eye.

Heng heng made two sounds and said, "Hmm, hmm, this job was done quite well."

Jiao Ying has reminisced several times about the handsome appearance of the folk celebrity Wu Yanzu in her memory. She couldn't have imagined that she would have the opportunity to see him again in just a month.

Jiao Ying stood up without saying a word, holding the wine glass.

Jiao Ying looked at Bai Zhan and then at Dong Yueran, her heart trembling: What kind of demons have these people cultivated into? Can their scheming and cunning be any more sinister and deep? But in the end, the scheming woman was defeated by the scheming man, and the scheming man's cunning was truly impressive.

Jiao Ying finally saw what the legendary goddess looked like. Indeed beautiful, with a cold and high-quality temperament, and a strong aura. Jiao Ying comforted herself: It's okay, tidy yourself up, just drape the coat over your shoulders if you're not wearing it, walk without looking at anyone and just raise your head, you can do it too!

Geng Qiang answered without hesitation: "No! Don't look for me! Desheng is in the south of the city, and we are in the north. It's so far away. Are you willing to bother your own boss? If there's a real problem, just go directly to Desheng's boss to clean up after you. Although he is now playing with money, we studied the same major when we were in school."

Jiao Ying looked at Bai Zhan in astonishment and asked, "Not drunk after a thousand cups?"

Jiao Ying is somewhat strange. Starting from the weekend when she was almost hit and taken to block alcohol, Bai Zhan has had dinner parties almost every night, and every dinner party he attends, he takes her to block alcohol. After blocking for a while, Jiao Ying has almost mixed into Bai Zhan's various social circles, and her reputation has risen in every circle. Occasionally, after a partner finishes vomiting, Bai Zhan will come over and tell her with some meaning: "Only two people have made me drink like this so far, and the second one is you!" Jiao Ying asked who the first one was, and those people shook their heads and told her: "Can't say, or I'll lose my business!"

His brothers finally reminded her with earnest words: "Little girl, you are still young and have little experience. Be careful with this smiling tiger!"

2.

Jiao Ying looked at his rolling Adam's apple, feeling a clear and joyful heart.

Jiao Ying widened her eyes and three seconds later, she answered with a worried tone, "But after all, I am a technical personnel. I don't really understand business matters."

Finally, he spoke up just before she was about to panic and run away: "Would you like to switch jobs and come work for me?"

Bai Zhan still takes Jiao Ying to the police station every day to drink. As they continue to go and drink, Jiao Ying begins to notice some changes.

Without hesitation, the guy immediately fell down under the chair upon hearing the sound. He held onto Bai Zhan's thigh and kept shouting, "Zhan Zhan, I was wrong! I will never talk nonsense again! We are not plotting against Zhan Zhan, we all genuinely love Zhan Zhan from the bottom of our hearts!" Watching them fool around, Jiao Ying couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably on the side.

Geng Qiang also "oh"ed: "I have a sharp tongue, can I not express my discomfort?"

Her troubled expression, which always seemed burdened with heavy responsibilities no matter where she went, amused Bai Zhan. "I don't need you to understand how to do business. Since you're here, I'll set up a technical department specifically for you to manage!"

Upon arriving at Desheng, Jiao Ying, in the midst of her work, was so mentally tense that she forgot about her excitement of wanting to catch a glimpse of the popular actor Wu Yan Zhu along the way. She rolled up her sleeves, cautiously and nervously maintaining the network. As she continued to maintain it, she finally made a mistake when she reached the office of a vice president—she couldn't resist the unfortunate blow of her technical incompetence and ended up causing the vice president's computer to crash.

Just as she sat down, she received a dissatisfied shout from Geng Qiang: "Jiao Ying, are you rebelling against the heavens? Who are your benefactors? Who did you come here to drink for?"

Miss Jiao responded lightly with an "Oh": "But Mr. Qiang, why are you telling me these things?"

Jiao Ying searched on Baidu based on the information provided by her colleagues, and indeed found news with Bai Zhan's photo. She clicked on the webpage to view the pictures, and in that instant, her pupils contracted and she almost licked the screen—wasn't this the folk version of Wu Yan Zhu? Her embarrassing behavior was not missed by Geng Qiang, who appeared and disappeared mysteriously. Geng Qiang warned her, "Don't daydream during work hours."

I don't know if she was more tired in the afternoon. After work, Jiao Ying seemed a bit absent-minded. She accidentally missed a car while crossing the road and almost got hit. It took her a while to recover from the shock. Fortunately, at the critical moment, she was pulled aside by the traffic police uncle. The traffic police uncle detained the vehicle involved and asked Jiao Ying if she was injured and if she wanted to hold the driver responsible. Jiao Ying saw the driver getting out of the car, glaring at her fiercely as if she were his archenemy. Jiao Ying didn't want to get involved with such a fierce person. After patting herself and finding no injuries or bruises, she just said to the traffic police uncle, "Forget it."

Geng Qiang took Jiao Ying to attend the banquet. On the way, he asked her, "Why didn't you resist and say that you couldn't drink?"

Geng Qiang looked disdainful and stared at Jiao Ying as if she were a fool, saying: "Who were you just acting like a lovesick fool in front of?"

Now she can't wait for Geng Qiang to organize even dinner as a gathering. Because during meals, she can always hear Geng Qiang reminisce about his past with his classmates and brothers with his big mouth.

Jiao Ying was a bit confused and foolishly tugged at Geng Qiang, whispering, "Boss, why should he toast to me?"

“What a phone number full of money flavor!” Jiao Ying exclaimed as she answered the phone. A deep and sexy voice came through the receiver. As soon as the voice appeared, it was like a magnet that attracted Jiao Ying's ears, making her wish that the receiver was permanently attached to her ear.

Facing this outcome, Jiao Ying didn't know whether to feel sad or happy.

When the atmosphere was stagnant, someone lifted the curtain and sat down. Jiao Ying turned her head and saw Bai Zhan, who was elegant and smiling. Dong Yueran's face looked even worse, but Jiao Ying became calmer instead.

On the second day of the welcoming banquet, she felt dazed for most of the day. Just before the lunch break, something unexpected happened: Dong Yueran came to the company and said that she wanted to talk to Geng Qiang about a collaborative project.

"Haven't you heard? He can't handle alcohol, so he asked me to help him hold his liquor."

Dong Yueran smiled and said, "There are some things you may still not know, but I have already learned everything from Geng Qiang and the others. There is evidence of the company's betrayal in the vice president's computer at Baizhan Company, but the vice president's firewall cannot be breached by Baizhan at all. He deliberately asked Geng Qiang to send a rookie to maintain the company's network. Do you think it was you who broke the vice president's computer? Of course not, you don't have that ability yet. The system disk you brought was given to you by Geng Qiang, right? In fact, that disk was given to Geng Qiang by Baizhan, and it had already been preloaded with other programs. When you insert the disk into the vice president's computer, it will crash, and Baizhan will give you a system USB drive that can copy all the files in the vice president's computer. While you help the vice president repair the system, all the files in his computer will be automatically transferred to the USB drive. Oh, by the way, do you remember when you almost got hit by a car before? It was the vice president's son who did it. During that time, Baizhan took you to social events every day, fearing that you might be retaliated against by the vice president's family one day. Do you think he brought you along because he liked you?"

Jiao Ying was almost blinded by his dazzling smile. She supported her slightly dizzy head and lamented to herself: "It's over, it seems like I'm going to get drunk today!"

Actually, Bai Zhan really doesn't need to tell her that he likes her; because everything has already been said in the alcohol.

Colleagues excitedly told Jiao Ying that the boss's classmate, Bai Zhan, has opened a large company, and his unique feature as a person is not only being wealthy, but also being wealthy. However, being wealthy is not enough to be considered the greatest highlight of his life. What truly captivates people is the face above his neck - the skin and the facial features on it, which are simply stunning.

Jiao Ying quickly composed herself and asked the boss if he had any orders for her, as he had come out of his private office to see her. Geng Qiang nodded and instructed her to go to a large company to perform network maintenance.

After a sway, Jiao Ying's eyes were blurred. She thought Bai Zhan was more handsome than Wu Yanzu at the moment. He looked stunning with a flushed face after drinking, and his slightly drunk appearance made people can't help but feel sorry for him. Jiao Ying felt a little dry in her throat. After hearing Bai Zhan say "I toast to you", she immediately tilted her head back and drank all the white wine in her glass. After putting down the glass, she looked at Bai Zhan and said, "You're already swaying, so don't drink anymore. Let me finish this glass!" She took the glass from Bai Zhan's hand and drank it all in one gulp.

Geng Qiang patted her shoulder to comfort her, "Young lady, don't be afraid. The person in charge of the Desheng Company you are going to is my college classmate. You can go ahead and do your best!"

Before getting off work, Geng Qiang said that his wealthy classmate Bai Zhan wanted to treat some old friends to a meal. He asked everyone who could drink to go with him and help him resist the alcohol. Without hesitation, everyone unanimously pointed to Jiao Ying: her!

Jiao Ying didn't quite understand the logic behind the two sentences from the CEO, but it's not important. It didn't hinder her from nodding at the handsome man. "Okay! If the vice president asks where the plate came from, I'll say I went out to make a phone call and had my colleague specially deliver it!"

They met at a dinner party, and she was attracted by his elegance. There were always people trying to get him drunk, but she couldn't bear to see him overwhelmed by alcohol, so she often intervened for him. After that, at dinner parties, he would often ask someone to call her over, and she thought maybe it was because she could help him resist the alcohol. One day, when he was drunk, she couldn't help but confess her feelings while he was in a daze. He laughed, fueled by alcohol, and said, "Okay, I'll accept you." At the next gathering, she once again tried to protect him from the alcohol. Someone next to them slammed the table and said, "You've already won her over, how long are you going to pretend to be defeated by alcohol?"

Jiao Ying hides her thoughts about admiring handsome men and answers simply and stubbornly: "I'm thirsty for alcohol."

Dong Yueran asked Bai Zhan, "How did you come?"

Since the day when Bai Zhan revealed his feelings in front of Dong Yueran, he has never directly said "I like you" or similar words to Jiao Ying. However, no matter where he goes, he still accompanies her, protecting her tightly. No one else is allowed to give her a drop of alcohol, only he can.

Dong Yueran's face became solemn, as if she did not expect anyone to be able to withstand her direct and fierce aura: "I believe that Bai Zhan chose you because he was lonely, but I am confident that I can win him back. So, let's compete fairly from now on."

Jiao Ying focused and said, "Our CEO told me to seek help from Bai Zhan when encountering problems!" She licked her lips and continued with determination, "I... I crashed the vice president's computer..."

Boss, do you think as a rookie, my skills may not be able to handle a "big" company well? She emphasized the word "big".

Jiao Ying carried the CD and set off on the road.

Finally, Bai Zhan continued to say to Dong Yueran: "Dong Yueran, don't say anything. Although you are smart, you really guessed wrong about one thing. At first, I did take her everywhere because I was afraid she would get into trouble, but that doesn't mean I don't like her now." At this point, he squinted and glanced at Jiao Ying, "Why am I so free? I don't like taking her out to eat and drink everywhere."

Bai Zhan raised the corners of his mouth, seeming to smile but not really: "After you suggested taking Jiao Ying out for a meal, Lao Geng called me. I told him 'Your computer is in trouble', but he didn't believe me. Sure enough, I was right."

She thought she was just a nobody in Dong Yueran's eyes, but she didn't expect that Dong Yueran would deliberately say hello to her at her desk before heading to Geng Qiang's office.

However, from this point on, the subsequent plot develops differently. Bai Zhan and the goddess were in a relationship for a while, but they quickly broke up due to personality differences and divergent future plans. However, the breakup was amicable, and they agreed to remain good friends.

Actually, the situation is like this: one day the temperature dropped, and she didn't wear enough clothes. Her home was far from the company, and her internship salary was low. She was reluctant to take a taxi back home, nor did she want to go to a nearby mall to buy clothes. So, during lunchtime, she simply bought a bottle of Xia'er and drank it. After drinking it, she didn't blush or pant, despite everyone's amazed looks. From then on, everyone remembered "Jiao Ying is really a good drinker."

Ying Jiao felt that the above plot was simply taken from the Korean drama "Gentleman's Dignity".

Before leaving the company, Geng Qiang gave Jiao Ying a disk and told her, "You can use this to maintain the network when the time comes."

1.

Dong Yueran looked at her with a deep gaze. After she finished talking with Geng Qiang in the office, they walked and talked along the way, saying, "Let's have a meal together. Oh, by the way, bring your secretary along!"

Geng Qiang hesitated a bit and asked, "Is it necessary?"

Jiao Ying was stunned for a moment.

Jiao Ying's face turned pale after listening to these words. However, she quickly calmed down and replied to Dong Yueran without losing her composure: "But, Miss Dong, if you really don't think Bai Zhan likes me, why would you go to such lengths and use so much scheming to invite me out for a special talk?" This time, Dong Yueran's face turned pale.

When everyone was drinking and getting tipsy, Geng Qiang asked Bai Zhan, "Is the theme of this meal to celebrate you two being together?" Bai Zhan smiled and confidently replied, "Yes." Jiao Ying blushed and giggled on the side.

Jiao Ying feels even more ashamed. She thinks that although her boss is sometimes a bit silly, he is really a good boss who is considerate, tolerant, and has low demands at critical moments.

Jiao Ying looked at Bai Zhan with a smile, and then looked at herself with a smile. The fair cheeks that were weak from alcohol were dyed with a light blush, making him look handsome enough to play Yang Guo without makeup. He just looked at Jiao Ying with a faint smile, making Jiao Ying feel dizzy even though she wasn't drunk.

At noon on the weekend, Jiao Ying listened to Geng Qiang's narration of how he and Bai Zhan, along with two other classmates, were chased and adored by everyone as the campus F4 during their university days because of their handsome appearances. As a result, the entire afternoon felt like a movie running through Jiao Ying's mind, with scenes from Meteor Garden flashing before her eyes, and even Dao Ming Si's head in the scenes automatically transforming from Jerry Yan into Bai Zhan.

Jiao Ying was stunned. She felt that her boss was truly a good person, unexpectedly giving her an opportunity to witness the live appearance of the popular actor Wu Yan Zhu in person.

5.

Someone suddenly asked Bai Zhan, "Xiao Bai, why haven't you offered the young lady a drink yet?"

At the banquet, Jiao Ying saw Bai Zhan sitting in the main seat, and he still looked like Wu Yan Zu. He invited her and Geng Qiang to sit next to him.

Geng Qiang shook his head, indicating that it was just the way he talked. The boss is rich and willful. Can anyone control him? Jiao Ying had to change the subject and asked, "How do you address your college classmates, boss?"

Sometimes when everyone is teasing Jiao Ying, Bai Zhan would protect her and say with a smile that could be real or fake, "I will protect the people I bring, what's wrong with that?" Every time Jiao Ying hears him say this, she feels like her ears are about to melt.

The vice president was extremely anxious, almost jumping up and down. In Jiao Ying's blank mind, she heard Geng Qiang's words: "If there is a real problem, just go directly to Boss DeSheng to clean up the mess for you."

Mr. Bai asked in a voice as captivating as a professional voice actor: "Do you have time later?"

Jiao Ying sat down and looked up at Bai Zhan. He was squinting at her with a half-smile, making her heart tremble.

Dong Yueran raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm telling you, you're not as silly as they say. Bai Zhanke doesn't like silly girls."

Jiao Ying was stunned for a moment. She lowered her head and saw the introduction on Baidu Baike, which was followed by the words "Chairman and CEO of Desheng Stock Company".

Several people even rushed out and vomited a round, and when they came back, they grabbed Bai Zhansheng and complained vividly: "Little Bai, oh Little Bai! Where did you find such a demon? She looks shy and timid, but how could she be so deadly when drinking? Look at the trouble you caused by bringing her here, we all ended up vomiting!"

Jiao Ying was so amused that she couldn't contain herself. She felt that someone who could use their life to satirize their friends like this was a true friend.

Jiao Ying felt ashamed and blamed herself: "No, no! We all crashed the vice president's computer!"

His brothers asked her in return, "What do you think is the basis of everyone's friendship with Bai Zhan?"

Dong Yueran also smiled and said, "Although you are not foolish, you are quite naive. But your pure thoughts are not really suitable for Bai Zhan. Do you know that from the beginning, Bai Zhan has been using you."

She returned the USB flash drive to Bai Zhan and went back to the company with saliva in her mouth all the way, when she went to report her work.

4.

Sometimes, in the quiet of the night, Jiao Ying reflects on her behavior and feels that she is really not living up to expectations.

As for the four-word phrase, he didn't say it and Jiao Ying didn't ask. She felt it was unnecessary. She wasn't stupid herself. Although her sixth sense wasn't particularly strong, she still had some intuition. She could feel that Bai Zhan had put some effort into her.

Just as the meal was starting, Geng Qiang was called away by a phone call, saying that there was a problem with the company's server for some unknown reason. As a result, only Jiao Ying and Dong Yueran were left in the private room.

Jiao Ying answered without thinking, "Yes!"

A few days later, during work hours, Geng Qiang approached lazily and leaned against Jiao Ying's desk before speaking up: "Hey Jiao, everyone's been telling me that my old classmate has been undermining me! I can't compete with him, he's even creating a new department with my subordinates!"

After that banquet, Jiao Ying became obsessed with matters related to Bai Zhan. She would search for his news online and even subconsciously Baidu his name. Previously, like her colleagues, she disliked the boss Geng Qiang and reluctantly had lunch with him.

Jiao Ying also smiled and said, "Did you cause trouble for our company's server?"

His brothers slapped their thighs hard and said, "Don't be fooled! What kind of heart? It's all because of his cunning and viciousness! To be honest, that kid is too sinister. Anyone who doesn't go along with him will be in big trouble! What does it mean to smile and hide a knife? That's him!"

Jiao Ying felt that her boss was acting a bit desperate, but unexpectedly Bai Zhan smiled and nodded in agreement, saying, "Yes, I did it!" Everyone exclaimed in excitement, cheering even louder.

Jiao Ying smiled and said, "I'm sorry, but I cannot comply with your request. It's my own business that I like him, and it's your own business that you like him. These two matters are unrelated. I have never thought of treating him as a trophy, so there is no question of winning or losing."

During the weekend, Bai Zhan organized another classmate gathering dinner. This time, Dong Yueran said she had something and couldn't come.

Jiao Ying's heart was trembling and aching. Does it mean that the more elite a man is, the more likely he is to have a first love complex?

That hand suddenly retracted and moved under the table. Jiao Ying heard the sound of a drawer being pulled. Two seconds later, the hand handed her a USB flash drive and said, "Here is the installation program for the recovery system. Use this to restore the deputy general manager's system." After briefly explaining some operating methods, the owner of the hand solemnly reminded her, "After fixing the deputy general manager's computer, please return the flash drive to me as soon as possible. Remember not to say that this flash drive is mine. As a boss, I just want to quietly make money and don't want my subordinates to know that I can fix computers."

Jiao Ying looked moved: "Mr. Qiang, I have never realized how valuable I am! You even went so far as to badmouth our classmates just to keep me!" Geng Qiang left with a twitch at the corner of his mouth.

Geng Qiang was unwilling to accept it and threatened Bai Zhan to expose his secrets. Bai Zhan calmly said, "If you dare, do you believe I will tell your wife about your romantic history in school?" As a result, Geng Qiang became obedient.

After returning home, she was still a little shaken. She decided to go online and take a few more glances at the handsome photos of Mr. Bai to calm herself down. As she was looking, her phone suddenly rang. It was an unfamiliar number, ending with four eights.

With the help of Bai Zhan's USB flash drive, Jiao Ying quickly repaired the vice president's computer. The vice president breathed a sigh of relief and, with half-closed eyes, said to Jiao Ying, "At least you fixed it. If by any chance you couldn't fix it, let me tell you, you would be in big trouble. I will sue you in court and make you compensate for all my losses!" Jiao Ying took a deep breath and looked at the all-in-one computer, which was worth just over ten thousand yuan even if it was brand new. She felt a mix of emotions: Would he really go to court for ten thousand yuan?

Geng Qiang sneered at her and gave an evil smile: "Have I taken a liking to you?"

Jiao Ying gave up imitating because she was afraid her eyebrows would jump to her hairline.

After the banquet began, everyone raised their glasses to congratulate Bai Zhan, celebrating his successful removal of the malignant tumor and traitor within the company. Jiao Ying sat aside, listening carefully for a while, finally detecting a hint of disdain.

Jiao Ying thought for a moment and asked, "What is my role?"

6.

After a while, Jiao Ying vaguely heard Geng Qiang roaring on the phone after returning to the office. The sound insulation effect of the company was good, and she could only hear Geng Qiang roaring but couldn't make out the content of the roar. The only clear sentence she heard from beginning to end was Geng Qiang saying, "Hmph, explain what? It's pointless to do this for nothing."

On the second day of the gathering, when Geng Qiang came over for a chat, he told Jiao Ying, "The welcoming banquet has been confirmed, and Bai Zhan will be the host." After saying this, he glanced at Jiao Ying and added, "But Bai Zhan told me that the reason he is hosting is very simple, he is the richest. As for the things that happened between him and Dong Yueran before, it's no longer a big deal!"

Dong Yueran, the name of a goddess.

Jiao Ying shrugged as she watched Geng Qiang lift his glass to drink water and said, "Mr. Bai seems to have a low alcohol tolerance!"

The boss, Geng Qiang, is about seven or eight years old, married, and often boasts about following the cool and domineering CEO route. However, colleagues say that Geng Qiang is at best an unimposing contractor in the field of coding, and the truly cool and domineering CEO is his college classmate.

Immediately after being called out, Jiao Ying looked up and glanced at Bai Zhan. Perhaps due to having just drunk a few glasses of alcohol, there were faint blushes on his fair complexion.

Without consulting Jiao Ying, they took her directly to a Japanese restaurant.

Therefore, when the goddess returns this time, everyone says that we should hold a welcome banquet.

After a moment of contemplation, Jiao Ying immediately said with a loyal expression, "Mr. Qiang, please don't tease me! How could I possibly leave? Your old classmate probably just said it in the heat of the moment after drinking, and he probably forgot what he said after sobering up. Otherwise, why wouldn't he mention it even after so many days have passed?" After speaking, she blinked at Geng Qiang. Geng Qiang also blinked at her, and then his mouth twitched. "What's the matter? Are you still secretly hoping for it?" he said. "Let me tell you, Jiao Ying, you have to be careful. Bai Zhan is the most cunning and deceitful person in our class. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made so much money. I'm telling you, he may have a fair face, but he's a schemer!"

Dong Yueran raised her eyebrows higher and said, "Oh?"

Before going to bed at night, Jiao Ying pondered over a question. Does being able to witness a man and his brothers interacting in a way that involves mutual torment imply that she is no longer considered an outsider to Bai Zhanlai?

The room immediately filled with a commotion.

Jiao Ying discovered that Bai Zhan not only had a strong deterrent effect on Geng Qiang, but also on others. Later, at a dinner party, she asked one of Bai Zhan's buddies, "Why do you all listen to Bai Zhan?"

Dong Yueran smiled and said meaningfully, "The timing is just right. He's gone, and the two of us can have a good chat."

Are you here to fix the computer? Speak up, what's the matter? The CEO has spoken.

Jiao Ying's pupils contracted as she took a deep breath and said, "Boss, after all, I am still a pure and chaste single woman. Can you please pay attention to your wording when talking about wiping butts?"

Bai Zhan just hypocritically said on the side, "How can you call someone a traitor? If someone is willing to follow whoever they want to follow, doesn't it depend on the charm of you and me?"

Geng Qiang sprayed out a mouthful of water and exclaimed, "Damn, he can't hold his liquor? I'm about to vomit now. Who's the one who can't hold their liquor!"

Jiao Ying said, "Heart."

Jiao Ying didn't make a fuss: "Okay." She gave the address to Bai Zhan, and fifteen minutes later, Bai Zhan came to pick her up for the dinner party.

Geng Qiang praised her, "Well done!"

That guy was criticizing with great enthusiasm, and she was laughing heartily. Bai Zhan's voice came from the side: "Darling, because you talk nonsense, I will send all the chat records from your QQ to your wife today, believe that with her discerning eyes, she will surely pick out some valuable things and then hold the washboard to talk to you about life."

Mr. Bai, the boss, said directly, "Why don't you accompany me to a dinner party?"

白展 lifted his eyes to look at her, and the smile on the corner of his mouth widened: "Are you standing up waiting for me to toast? Alright, then I'll stand up too!" Bai also lifted his wine glass and stood up, but he stumbled on something under his feet and staggered, causing his body to sway.

With his fingertips, Bai Zhan Yong tapped on the table, making a knocking sound. Jiao Ying noticed his slender and long white fingers, which were definitely a weapon of choice for girls who are into hands.

"Can't handle alcohol?" Dong Yueran looked at her thoughtfully. After a moment of silence, Dong Yueran spoke again, "Jiao Ying, I'm not used to beating around the bush. Let me be direct. The reason why Bai Zhan and I broke up before was actually because we were both angry at each other. He insisted on staying in the country to start a business while I wanted to study abroad. We couldn't reach a consensus, so we broke up. But even after the breakup, our feelings didn't fade. So I always felt that he still belonged to me, and I believed that he felt the same way about me. However, when I came back this time, I found that the situation seemed a bit different from what I had imagined. Suddenly, there was someone new by his side, you. I just want to ask you, do you also like him?"

Jiao Ying also raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "I dare not accept it. What Bai Zhan is interested in is my capacity for alcohol."

Once, there was a rough friend who insisted on toasting with Jiao Ying. No matter how hard Bai Zhan tried, he couldn't get rid of him. In the end, Bai Zhan simply tore his face a little and stared at that friend, finally managing to drive him away.

At this dinner party, Jiao Ying only knew Bai Zhan, so she felt a bit shy and awkward throughout the meal. However, it was precisely this shy and awkward demeanor that left everyone at the table in awe.

Jiao Ying thought that she wouldn't go to the dinner party with Bai Zhan as his classmate in the future and block wine for him anymore. She thought carefully and decided to reject him when he came to find her. As a result, Bai Zhan didn't even call her to the welcoming banquet on the day Dong Yueran returned.

When the atmosphere was great, Geng Qiang's face suddenly changed and he slammed the table, roaring in anger: "Bai Zhan, your uncle! Since you have succeeded, why are you still performing as if you can't hold your liquor? How long do you want to pretend to be a fool after drinking a thousand cups without getting drunk? How long do you want us to go against our conscience and act with you?"
