Subordinates drinking with their leaders is a skill, which can be divided into several types depending on the person.
Wooden type: A typical workplace novice, usually engaged in technical work. They often eat as soon as the table is served. They rarely take the initiative to toast the leader, and at most they only follow behind to have a drink during a group toast.
The type of person who refuses to drink: Most of them are old people in the company. They often use excuses such as driving, taking medicine, allergies, and pregnancy preparations to refuse to drink, even though they know that the four words that the boss hates to hear most at the wine table are "tea" Instead of drinking wine", but still "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to travel to the tiger mountains".
Service type: I don’t drink much, but my eyesight is good. When the leader runs out of wine, he comes to pour the wine. When the leader drinks too much, he helps him. When the leader can’t drive, he calls for a driver... Generally, they are secretaries and assistants.
Sensible type: well versed in the ways of the world, never letting the leaders stand in silence, wishing to toast ten times during a meal, never say the same auspicious words every time, and often end with "I did it, you can do whatever you want." ending.
The main type is anti-customer: when you first sit down at the table, you don't show off your integrity, but after a few glasses of wine, you start to be "righteous". What's more, they are more capable than the leader, and their classic mantra is - "I will bring you a drink."
Performance at the wine table is not good or bad, but it can reflect a person's character.
It's just that Chu Xianping does not belong to the above categories. If I have to say... he should be regarded as the "stable type".
It was already dark outside the window, and the lights in the tavern were bright.
Diners were walking back and forth, and the Zuixiao Tower had begun to become lively, but Wei Changtian's table was quite deserted.
The two of them had drunk a lot of wine and talked a lot, but they were basically in a state where Wei Changtian asked and Chu Xian answered flatly, and the sense of distance between superiors and subordinates was still very obvious.
We can’t go on like this!
Wei Changtian took a bite of food and prepared to break through from another angle.
"Brother Chu, just now I heard from the waiter that a new brothel has opened nearby, and it seems pretty good."
"Why don't we go shopping together after dinner?"
"ah......"
Chu Xianping was stunned, shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Mr. Wei, I won't go."
"Huh? What, does Brother Chu have anything to do later?"
"That's not true..."
At this time, Chu Xianping definitely couldn't say something like "I never go to a brothel" to slap the boss in the face. After hesitating for a moment, he replied in a low voice: "I already have a sweetheart."
This is the topic I’ve been waiting for!
Wei Changtian was overjoyed, and his face showed an expression of sudden realization.
"Haha, that's it! I was the one who was abrupt."
"When will Brother Chu get married? Remember to inform me then, and I will go drink your wedding wine!"
"..."
Hearing Wei Changtian's familiar words, Chu Xianping was a little surprised at first, but soon felt a sense of disappointment in his heart, and finally sighed softly.
If it were normal times, he would definitely not express his joy, anger, sorrow and joy so obviously.
But after drinking today, my vigilance inevitably dropped.
"Eh? Brother Chu, why are you sighing?" Wei Changtian asked knowingly.
"this......"
Chu Xianping was still confused.
He really wanted to talk about his depression, but he felt that he wasn't familiar enough with Wei Changtian yet.
However, Wei Changtian was not prepared to let go of such a good opportunity for "heart-to-heart communication" and simply took the initiative.
"Brother Chu, I'm afraid you sigh because of that woman."
"..."
Chu Xianping said nothing, acquiescing to this guess.
"Alas, since ancient times heroes have struggled with beauty!"
Wei Changtian pretended to drink a cup of wine by himself, and said with a sincere expression: "Brother Chu, what are the specific difficulties?"
"If you can trust me, just talk to me. I might be able to help you."
"this......"
Wei Changtian has already said this, and if Chu Xianping is still unwilling to say it, then he "cannot trust the leader."
He also took a sip of wine and finally said slowly:
"Mr. Wei, it's actually nothing serious. It's just that my sweetheart... wants to marry someone else."
"What?!"
Wei Changtian's expression instantly became extremely surprised.
Different from before, this time he was not pretending, but was really surprised.
According to the original work, Chu Xianping's sweetheart will indeed be spotted by a wealthy businessman and is prepared to forcibly take her as a concubine.
And precisely because of this, Xiao Feng was given the opportunity to take Chu Xianping to get married.
There's nothing wrong with the plot, but...but this plot should only happen after the Chinese New Year!
Why is it so early?
Could it be because Xiao Feng came to Shuzhou early?
This was the first time that Wei Changtian encountered a situation where the plot in the book happened in advance, and he inevitably thought about it for a while.
Seeing his reaction, Chu Xianping thought that what he said was too shocking, so he quickly explained:
"Sir, there is actually no engagement between me and that woman, or it could be that I just have unrequited love. You don't have to worry about it."
"..."
Good guy, he is indeed the king of dog lickers.
Wei Changtian paused, collected his thoughts and asked softly: "Brother Chu, so...that woman has no intention of you at all?"
"Actually, it's intentional..."
"Why would she marry someone else if she wanted to?"
"She, she doesn't want to, but she has no choice but to make her own decision..."
"Huh? Listen to Brother Chu..."
Wei Changtian "reasoned": "Is she attracted by those powerful people?"
Chu Xianping nodded with difficulty: "Yes..."
"hiss......"
Wei Changtian said in his heart that he didn't run away now, and it turned out that the plot was advanced.
His face turned serious, and he suddenly said sternly: "Brother Chu! I don't think you are the kind of timid person. Since you two are in love, why are you willing to give up your sweetheart?!"
"I......"
Chu Xianping was stunned by this sudden accusation, then shook his head and said with a bitter smile: "Sir, who is willing to do this, but I am humble and have no power, so what can I do?"
"Don't forget, you are also from the Xuanjing Division!"
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes slightly: "Who is the other party?"
"..."
Chu Xianping had already roughly guessed what Wei Changtian was going to do. He was a little hesitant, but also vaguely expected.
"It's the Pan family who are in the cloth business."
"Pan family? Never heard of it."
Wei Changtian curled his lips arrogantly, then stared at Chu Xianping and said seriously: "Brother Chu, although we have only known each other for a short time, now that I know about this matter, I will not sit idly by and watch!"
"What should be yours will eventually be yours, just put your heart in your stomach!"
"..."
Although he had been mentally prepared, when Chu Xianping actually heard that Wei Changtian was going to settle the matter for him, he couldn't help but feel a wave of excitement in his heart.
Excited and moved, doubtful and puzzled.
"Mr. Wei, why are you willing to help me?"
Why help you?
This somewhat confused Wei Changtian.
Only then did he realize that he had been too eager to get closer to Chu Xianping and had done too little to pave the way.
But it’s not a big problem, as long as the reasons are sufficient.
As for what reason is the most convincing, it is naturally - empathy.
"Hey, Brother Chu, in this case I won't hide it from you."
Putting down the wine glass gently, Wei Changtian turned to look out the window, his eyes beginning to become melancholy.
He seemed to be caught up in sad memories and murmured: "Actually, I saw myself in you..."
"Sir, you mean..."
"Yes, I once had a beloved woman, but she was taken away by someone else."
Wei Changtian recalled in "pain": "I was too cowardly at the time and watched her become someone else's bride..."
"That's it, it's all over now, drink!"
Holding back the non-existent tears, Wei Changtian poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
He showed off his acting skills like crazy, and Chu Xianping was indeed deceived. Not only did the doubts in his heart disappear, he even "figured out" a lot of things in an instant.
No wonder there have been rumors in the Xuanjing Division that Mr. Wei is a lecherous person who only spends his time looking for flowers and begging for help...
It turns out that it was because I was hurt by love that I am so wild now!
