"Well, let's end today's meeting here."

Duan Zhengping glanced at Zhou Xiong and said.

"Thank you for your hard work, Professor Duan. Let's have a casual dinner together later. I'll be the host."

Zhou Xionghui came to his senses and said with a smile.

Yang Chengzhen remembered the content of the note Jiang Han gave her, and her heart moved, and she said, "I'm sorry, I have something else to do later, so I won't go to eat."

"How can that be done!"

Zhou Xiong immediately said with a straight face: "Xiao Yang, I just entrusted you with an important task, and now you start to act like a big star? Are you not giving me face?"

"President Zhou, Xiao Yang is still young, don't be offended!"

Duan Zhengping smoothed things over and said, "I'll let Xiao Yang offer you a few more glasses of wine later to apologize!"

Then he turned to Yang Chengzhen and said: "Xiao Yang, business and social interaction are also part of what you have to learn. No matter what you do, put it aside first and go to dinner together later."

"Oh well."

Seeing that both Duan Zhengping and Zhou Xiong were a little unhappy, Yang Chengzhen had no choice but to nod.

"I have booked a private room at Tianxiangju. Let's go together."

Zhou Xiong's expression softened a little at this time, he stood up and said.

The group of people drove to Tianxiangju and sat down in a private room.

"Professor Duan, how do you drink this wine today?"

Zhou Xiong looked at Duan Zhengping and asked with a smile.

"Just the old rules!"

Duan Zhengping said.

As soon as these words came out, Li Liping glanced at Yang Chengzhen and showed a strange smile.

There is a bit of schadenfreude in it.

But the smile disappeared so quickly that Yang Chengzhen thought he had seen it wrong.

"Okay, red wine to start the appetizer, white wine to complete the show, and foreign wine to finish."

Zhou Xiong said familiarly.

"Okay, I won't go home until I get drunk today!"

Duan Zhengping happily agreed.

Soon the food and wine were served, and half a dozen red wines were opened first.

Li Liping took the initiative to get up and pour wine for Yang Chengzhen.

"Enough is enough, this is too much."

Li Liping poured more than half of the cup at once, but Yang Chengzhen quickly stopped her.

When pouring red wine, one only pours the bottom of the glass. There is no rush to fill the glass all at once.

"Ha, I'm sorry, my hands are shaking."

Li Liping smiled casually and said, walking back to her seat and sitting down.

Duan Zhengping looked over from the corner of his eye and quietly patted Li Liping's thigh to indicate that she did a good job.

Jiang Han sighed slightly.

This detail was seen by Yang Chengzhen.

Jiang Han's abnormal reaction made Yang Chengzhen feel that this matter was a bit strange.

"Come on, let's toast to President Zhou!"

At this time, Zhengping said: "Thank you, President Zhou, for your warm hospitality!"

"Ha, okay, let's have a drink!"

Zhou Xiong also raised his glass.

"Xiao Yang, what are you doing standing still? I'm toasting President Zhou."

Li Liping deliberately reminded Yang Chengzhen.

Yang Chengzhen came back to his senses and looked over. Their wine glasses were all filled with a shallow layer of water.

Only her glass was filled more than half full.

"Let me make a sample first!"

Duan Zhengping drank a little bit of red wine in the cup and then lit the bottom of the cup.

"Ha, Professor Duan has a good drinker!"

Zhou Xiong also drank all the wine in the cup and made the same gesture of shining the bottom of the cup.

Li Liping and Jiang Han also drank up the wine in their glasses, and everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Chengzhen.

"this."

Yang Chengzhen had no choice but to take a small sip and put down the cup.

"Xiao Yang!"

Duan Zhengping lowered his face and said, "What's going on? Didn't you see everyone toasting? Why do you still have so much left!"

"Yeah, it seems that I, as the president, don't have enough face. I won't even finish a glass of wine with dignity?"

Zhou Xiong said dissatisfied.

"Xiao Yang, you are a newcomer and you don't understand the rules. We have already toasted, why did you only take one sip!"

Li Liping echoed: "It's too disrespectful. It doesn't matter if you don't take us seriously, but you have to take President Zhou and Professor Duan seriously!"

"Sorry, I don't know how to drink."

Yang Chengzhen smiled apologetically and said, "If I drink this glass, I'm afraid I'll be drunk to the point of unconsciousness."

"oh?"

Hearing Yang Chengzhen's words, Duan Zhengping's eyes lit up and he said unhappily: "You can ask Xiao Li and Xiao Jiang to take you back when you're drunk. It'll be fine."

"Yes, President Zhou may become your future leader."

Li Liping on the side seemed to be kindly advising: "Do you still want to work at Yunzhou Bank in the future?"

"In no mood."

Yang Chengzhen shook his head and refused flatly.

The scene became awkward for a while.

"Well, how about this?"

Duan Zhengping said: "I drank Xiao Yang's glass of wine for her. President Zhou, what do you think?"

"That's not okay!"

Zhou Xiong said: "How can drinking be a substitute?"

"Xiao Yang said she doesn't know how to drink anymore, so let her serve you tea instead of wine!"

Duan Zhengping said to Li Liping: "Xiao Li, go and help Xiao Yang bring a pot of tea."

He stuffed something into Li Liping's hand without leaving any trace.

"OK."

Li Liping took the things and smiled, stood up and said to Yang Chengzhen: "Xiao Yang, look at how kind Professor Duan is to you."

With that said, he walked out of the private room, asked the waiter for a pot of tea, and secretly put a pill into the teapot.

Once the tablets are put into the water, they melt and disappear quickly.

Li Liping shook again, with a gloating smile on her face.

He said to himself: "This is the rule for joining this project team!"

He returned to the private room with the teapot, quietly winked at Duan Zhengping, walked up to Yang Chengzhen, gave her a cup of tea, then returned to his seat and sat down.

"Okay, Xiao Yang, you can toast to President Zhou with tea instead of wine!"

Duan Zhengping took Yang Chengzhen's wine glass and said, "Here's this glass. I'll drink it for you, as an apology to President Zhou."

"Oh, Professor Duan, you are too polite."

Zhou Xiong pretended to be helpless and said: "Then I will give Professor Duan this face."

"Come on, Xiao Yang, let's toast to President Zhou together."

Duan Zhengping said.

Seeing that it was already like this, Yang Chengzhen could only pick up the teacup and drink tea instead of wine.
