?Chapter 555: Chapter 556: Strangers (5) _1 Chapter 555: Chapter 556: Strangers (5) _1 Every single sentence coming from the people around was related to “Mr. Liang,” filled with an eager tone of flattery. He seldom spoke, his voice was faint and emotionless, sometimes he didn’t even bother to respond, seriously dampening the spirits of those who were trying hard to please him.
Many of the dishes on the table remained untouched, while the foreign wines, delivered by the waitstaff, were being emptied one after another.
The secretaries brought by these CEOs were all shrewd, each holding a wine glass, and toasting to Liang Chen in elegant manners.
Liang Chen sat nonchalantly in his chair, faced with the deliberately leaning forward, bosom-exposed beautiful secretaries, his expression didn’t change. He only held up his wine glass, made a symbolic gesture, but did not drink.
Mr. Chen noticed all the secretaries toast to Mr. Liang proactively, except for Jing Haohao who sat on the side, showing no reaction. He poured a glass of wine and handed it to Jing Haohao, saying, “Go toast a glass to Mr. Liang.”
Jing Haohao stared at the wine glass, hesitated slightly, then picked up the glass, stood up, hoisted her glass in the direction of Liang Chen, and said, “Mr. Liang, I toast to you.”
Liang Chen, who was initially listening to his assistant, hearing Jing Haohao’s voice, his expression slightly changed. He then turned his head and cast a seemingly calm glance at Jing Haohao, picked up the wine glass on the table, stood up, clinked glasses with Jing Haohao, and emptied his glass.
Jing Haohao also followed Liang Chen and drained the glass. It might have been because she hadn’t drunk for a long time. Drinking the alcohol all at once made her feel slightly dizzy.
After putting down the wine glass, Jing Haohao saw that Liang Chen’s eyes were still on her, so she let her gaze drop and gave a calm and quiet smile before sitting down.
After the toast, there seemed to be more chatter at the dinner table. Sitting next to Jing Haohao was a slightly overweight man who was called either “Mr. Li” or “Mr. Lin”. He was talkative and had a loud voice. His praises of Liang Chen could be heard throughout the room.
The overweight man turned his head to look at Jing Haohao, raised his wine glass towards Mr. Chen and said, “Mr. Chen’s secretary indeed is very attractive. Even Mr. Liang took a fancy to her and drank the toast.”
Mr. Chen smiled and did not respond, but also raised his wine glass.
The two clinked glasses and downed their drinks.
As Mr. Chen was about to refill the overweight man’s glass, the man began to speak, “Mr. Chen, you are really too frustrating. Your secretary is sitting right next to you and you are pouring the wine yourself.”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen instantly understood the man’s implication. He handed the bottle to Jing Haohao and said, “This is Mr. Lin from Wanda.”
Jing Haohao understood that Mr. Chen was asking her to pour wine for Mr. Lin.
Jing Haohao slightly lowered her eyelashes, took the bottle, and filled Mr. Chen’s glass with wine.
Without taking his eyes off Jing Haohao, as soon as she finished pouring, Mr. Chen deliberately raised his hand, placed it on Jing Haohao’s, and reminded her, “It’s full.”
In the entertainment industry, she had encountered such things many times. She knew these people were trying to take advantage of her under the pretext of being courteous.
Jing Haohao held the wine bottle and calmly moved her hand away from Mr. Lin’s. She then poured a glass for Mr. Chen.
Mr. Lin raised his glass again. Just as Mr. Chen was about to clink glasses with him, Mr. Lin said, “Mr. Chen, this toast isn’t for you. We’ve had so many toasts together, one less won’t matter. This toast is for your beautiful secretary.”
