Chapter 344: Chapter 363: Not Giving Face (Second Update)
"Xiaoxi?" Lin Xi, who was following behind Xi Xiaoyi, knew he wasn’t the one being called, but he still naturally reacted at that moment, his face turning somewhat dark.
Honestly, you try it, a young man full of vigor being called by a bald fat guy—it’s utterly disgusting.
Xi Xiaoyi acted like she didn’t see the greeting from the bald man, instead, she sat opposite these people and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, President Qiang, I’ll punish myself with three drinks first."
Lin Xi also sat down to the side, but the five people present automatically ignored him as if he were air.
After downing three cups of beer, Xi Xiaoyi finally turned to the bald man and asked in confusion, "President Qiang, who are these four?"
"They’re all my good brothers, each one as capable as I am. If everything goes well today, you’ll bring a big deal to your company!" Bald President Qiang’s expression revealed a blatant hint, suggesting quite obviously.
Xi Xiaoyi maintained her smile, poured herself another beer, stood up and said, "Thank you for your support, President Qiang, let me toast to you first!"
"Good." Bald President Qiang stood up as well, and they both drank a cup.
After that, Xi Xiaoyi also drank a cup with each of President Qiang’s four brothers.
When calculating the time, it took less than five minutes for her to finish eight beers, yet her face didn’t turn red and she wasn’t out of breath, showing no sign of problems.
Watching from the side, Lin Xi couldn’t help but be slightly amazed, thinking to himself that Sister Yi’s drinking ability is really good, no wonder she dared to toast each person without flinching.
However, when Xi Xiaoyi began to discuss business with President Qiang and the others, they kept changing the subject, insisting on urging her to drink.
Of course, she could only drink half-heartedly because in this kind of situation, if you don’t drink, it means you’re disrespecting them, after all, you’re the one seeking help.
After several rounds back and forth, Xi Xiaoyi’s cheeks finally started to flush, but her battle strength remained quite formidable, showing no signs of backing down.
"Beer isn’t exciting enough, let’s drink the hard stuff!" as soon as Bald President Qiang mentioned it, his few brothers immediately chimed in, "We should have had spirits long ago, watching Xiaoxi drink is far from satisfying."
"Isn’t that right, Xiaoxi?" One of them stared intently at Xi Xiaoyi’s chest and retorted.
Xi Xiaoyi quickly shook her head, knowing that if they switched to spirits, she would definitely be no match for this group, "No, no, I really can’t drink anymore, and I can’t handle spirits at all, one sip and I’m drunk!"
"I’m really sorry, gentlemen!"
"Bang!"
The always smiling Bald President Qiang suddenly slammed the table and shouted at Xi Xiaoyi, "So you’re not giving face, then don’t bother talking about the cooperation!"
"Moreover, I called so many brothers today to support you and introduce you to business, but I didn’t expect you to be so ungrateful!"
"President Qiang, this... how can you say that, I’m really not trying to disrespect you, but I just can’t drink," Xi Xiaoyi didn’t expect President Qiang to turn hostile so suddenly, and could only reply helplessly.
"Right, Brother Qiang, I think Xiaoxi is telling the truth, you don’t need to force her!" one of Bald President Qiang’s brothers advised, "How about this, we’ll drink spirits, and Xiaoxi can continue with beer, but for every spirit we have, she must drink two beers."
"Everyone okay with that?"
The others had no objections, while Bald President Qiang glared at Xi Xiaoyi but said nothing more.
For the sake of business, Xi Xiaoyi could only grit her teeth and agree, as this deal concerned her overall performance.
At this moment, she noticed Lin Xi frowning to the side and saw him clenching his fist, looking as if he was ready to act, which startled Xi Xiaoyi. She quickly placed a hand gently on Lin Xi’s fist, signaling him with her eyes not to act rashly.
