Episode 29 The Investor's Liquor Game
Li Xiaoran followed up on a big project that was the most important for the company throughout the year. Their company will invest in the production of a war science fiction blockbuster, and the largest investor they are negotiating with is XX Group. If this investment goes well, it is expected that the box office will reach more than 2 billion, which will be the main source of the company's annual profits.
Obviously, Mr. Wang also attaches great importance to this project this time, and Li Xiaoran's team has done a series of foreshadowing in the preliminary work, and the progress is very smooth. At present, the final stage of signing the contract has been reached. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Mr. Wang decided to personally entertain the chairman of XX Company.
On the day of the banquet, Chairman He Tianyi of XX Group entered the hotel private room with a full face. Obviously, he is also very optimistic about the prospects of cooperation. Everything was very good at the beginning, and He Tianyi also praised Li Xiaoran's previous work, "Xiao Li, not bad, young and promising." The early stage of the work was very effective, Mr. Wang, you have found a good talent! I want to take over such a capability. ”
"Thank you, Chairman He, for your compliment. Li Xiaoran is also in a good mood, after all, more than two months of hard work have not been in vain.
So, during the banquet, the senior executives of the two companies talked and laughed and chatted very happily. Everyone chatted and drank, and after a short time, they entered the climax of the wine game, and the topic of project cooperation has been turned over, and they began to fight one-on-one and one-to-many wine.
Li Xiaoran is very uncomfortable with such an occasion, and Mr. Wang also takes care of Li Xiaoran's emotions, every time he participates in various banquets of this kind before, he will let his vice president or assistant contact the customer with wine, Li Xiaoran is basically pretending, and the scene is passable.
However, this time is different, the other party, Chairman He, does not seem to take the vice president and assistant in his eyes, but only wants to communicate with Li Xiaoran. "Xiaoran, do you have a girlfriend? I like you very much, it just so happens that my daughter has reached the age of talking about marriage, there is a chance for you to meet? If you can be my uncle, it would be great!"
"Chairman He, my girlfriend is about to get married, thank you for your kindness!" Li Xiaoran politely refused.
"It's a pity, it's a pity. Hey, our daughter's vision is too high, so she introduced a few, but no one agreed. I also thought about it, this time I finally found such a good young man for her, hey, what a pity. Don't say it, let's drink and drink!" Chairman He seemed to be really in love with Li Xiaoran, and after some regret, he raised his glass.
In this way, he kept talking to Li Xiaoran about various topics, and after a while, he had already done 5 glasses of liquor in a row. Li Xiaoran was overwhelmed by alcohol, and he knew that he was going to vomit if he drank it again, and he was already a little unconscious. Li Xiaoran decided that no matter how much anyone persuaded him, he would not drink it again.
But Chairman He was unrelenting, looking at Li Xiaoran's face with admiration, "Why are you so good-looking! Look at these eyes and eyebrows, this bridge of the nose, it must be a genetic problem." Saying that, he actually grabbed Li Xiaoran's hand, "This hand has fine skin and tender meat, your parents gave birth to you so well!"
"Chairman, have you drunk too much!" Li Xiaoran was taken aback by his actions, and suddenly he was almost sober, thinking, "I'm not a big girl, this He Tianyi is sick!"
"Oh, hehe, don't get me wrong, I just like you too much, I don't have a son, I can't help but look at a handsome and excellent boy when I see it, this is one of the biggest regrets in my heart, I don't have a son, I also want to have a son as good as you. I didn't drink too much, let's continue drinking!" said and poured Li Xiaoran a full glass of wine.
"Chairman He, I can't do it anymore, I can't drink anymore!" Li Xiaoran pushed the wine glass aside, and his attitude was more resolute.
So, in this way, He Tianyi gave in a few more times, but Li Xiaoran refused. He Tianyi showed a hint of anger, "Xiaoran, I don't give you Uncle He's face! I toast, but there are few people who don't give me face! I appreciate you and like you, so I took the initiative to toast you, you are a little too ignorant!"
At this time, Li Xiaoran also came up stubborn, first, he didn't like to drink, second, he didn't like such occasions, third, he thought that he did any work by his own ability, and he didn't need such a drinking game to meet the other party, so he refused again, "Chairman He, I have really drunk a lot, don't get me wrong, don't believe me, I only have three glasses of wine, and I have drunk almost six or seven glasses today, which is already my limit." ”
Seeing their embarrassing situation, Wang Muzhi and the vice presidents quickly came to the rescue, "Yes, Chairman He, Xiao Li is not strong enough to drink, we will accompany you to drink." As he spoke, the vice president took a drink to himself.
"Hmph, my wine is not just drunk by anyone, and you drink it for nothing. He Tianyi didn't appreciate it, and stared at Li Xiaoran, you have to drink this wine, and you have to drink it if you don't drink it, as if this glass of wine is related to his big face.
Wang Muzhi saw that the wine bureau was about to be messed up by Li Xiaoran, so he began to persuade Li Xiaoran, "Xiaoran, have another drink, it's okay, if you drink too much, I'll find someone to send you home, quick, you see that Chairman He is so sincere, you can quickly give face and drink this cup!"
Li Xiaoran looked at Chairman He and then at Wang Muzhi, gritted his teeth and picked up the cup.
"Well, that's right. Come and have three more cups, in the future, we will be friends, if there is anything, you tell your Uncle He, it will be no problem. He Tianyi smiled and poured three more cups for Li Xiaoran.
Li Xiaoran never thought that he had endured the discomfort and nausea, just had a drink, and was asked to drink three more glasses! At this time, Li Xiaoran really drank a little too much, and looked at He Tianyi's smiling appearance a little blurred. He Tianyi looked expectant, in his eyes, there were other people, and the figure was also a little ghostly, "Chairman He, I'm sorry, I really can't do it, I want to vomit, I'm sorry, I'll miss me for a while." So he covered his mouth and ran out.
In the bathroom, Li Xiaoran's stomach turned over, vomited so much, flushed his face with water, he looked at himself in the mirror, and suddenly felt that he was very pitiful, and he wanted to cry a little, which was not what he wanted. As soon as he thought of returning to the dinner table again, a glass of expensive liquor, and the appearance of those people expecting him to drink, he was frightened, and a voice told him, "I can't go back, I can't go back!" So, Li Xiaoran, who was still drunk, didn't say hello, staggered out of the hotel, and took a taxi home alone.
Everyone is still talking and laughing. However, after waiting for a long time, Li Xiaoran had not come back, so Chairman He sent someone to see what was going on. After a while, the man came back, "Chairman, listen to the waiter, Li Xiaoran has already left and left the hotel!"
"What?" He Tianyi looked surprised, and then, his face changed greatly, "Mr. Wang, it seems that the employees of your company are very impolite, and they don't take me and our company in their eyes at all, I think since the two sides don't have the most basic respect, it's okay to cooperate!"
He Tianyi left without saying a word, and the rest of the people in the wine bureau were at a loss!
