Gu Qing Pei handed the menu to the man who shook hands with him, "How should I address you?"
"My name is Zhang Li. You can call me Xiao Zhang. Boss Gu, you should order. I am not good at ordering dishes."
"What do you guys want to eat? Can you eat spicy food?"
"There is nothing we mind about. As long as there's alcohol and meat, it's already good."
Gu Qing Pei smiled as he said, "What kind of alcohol do you want to drink?"
"Beer."
"Alright." Gu Qing Pei signalled the waiter to come over and ordered several more dishes. He then added a dozen bottles of beer and some other drinks.
After the food and beer came up, they were served in such a way that it filled the top of the table.
"Come, you guys must be hungry already. Quick, come and eat."
"Don't rush, let's drink a glass of beer first. It has been a long time since we get see Xiao Yuan. Today, we also get to know Boss Gu. No matter what, we must drink a glass." Zhang Li hurriedly pour out beer for each of them and when it was Gu Qing Pei's turn, Gu Qing Pei reached his hand out in a 'stop' gesture. He smiled as he spoke, "I am sorry, I have a serious allergy towards alcohol and it will lead to something bad. So, I will use tea to replace beer."
All of them immediately turned silent. They stared at Gu Qing Pei, they obviously did not believe him.
Zhang Li still insisted to pour one glass for him, "Boss Gu, is that real or fake ah? It's not because you see a lot of us, then you became afraid, right? Rest assured, towards a gentleman like you, of course we will use a gentle and refined way to drink."
Gu Qing Pei smiled and opened a can of beverage for himself, "This is true, I really cannot drink. Don't mention one glass, just a sip and I will end up having rash across my whole body. If this happens, I won't be able to work during the afternoon. Today is my first day of work. I hope all of you can understand and forgive me. When I look at you guys drinking, I will personally feel very delighted too."
Then Yuan Yang spoke, "Director Gu, I have brought so many friends to come over today, yet you are not concerned about giving me a good face. At least just drink one glass. Besides, it is not like I have never seen people who is allergic toward to alcohol before. How serious can it be? Only drinking one glass won't cause you anything, right?."
Gu Qing Pei understood, if he really drink that one sip, then it won't be a problem whether it was one sip or even one cup. They had so many people with them, if himself drink it alone then it was inevitable that he would be at a disadvantage and suffer the loss. Therefore, he couldn't drink, not even one sip. It was unlikely that this group of people would force himself to drink by pouring the beer onto his mouth ah. If they wanted to compare who has a thicker face, then ten of Yuan Yang or Zhang Li may not necessarily match up as his opponent. Hence, he merely looked at the crowd with a beaming smile, before he clenched his teeth tightly. Even if it caused him his death, he also wouldn't drink it.
Thicker Face(比脸皮厚) Bǐ liǎn pí hòu= Meaning shameless, thick face.
Zhang Li held himself back until his whole face flushed red. He couldn't lie, yet he wasn't able do anything towards Gu Qing Pei. When he thought that even with so many people, none could persuade Gu Qing Pei to drink a sip of beer, this indeed make people choke with resentment.
Gu Qing Pei smiled and answered, "Actually, as long as the brotherhood feeling is there, it is not so important of what we are drinking. Do you guys agree or not? Today, I am given a chance to see so many energetic and vigorous soldiers from the People's Liberation Army. I have complete trust and confidence in our national defense forces. Today, I have to become an ordinary person and give a respectful toast to our People's Liberation Army. I will drink the non-alcoholic drink to replace the beer. Everyone please feel free to follow." After he finished speaking, he then finished the beverage at one go.
T/N: People's Liberation Army is the armed forces of the People's Republic of China and Communist Party of China.
Those people had never thought that Gu Qing Pei would bring the topic up to that kind of high level. Right now, they were really in the situation like that of a man riding on top of a tiger. Since they could hardly come down, they could only bite the bullet and force themselves to drink the beer from their glass.
T/N: 骑虎难下qí hǔ nán xià (Unable to come down from riding the tiger), In a position that is irrevocable.
Yuan Yang only could watch helplessly as his plan of wanting to pour beer onto Gu Qing Pei until he collapsed in front of the group turned into a completely failed attempt. Hence, his bad mood deteriorated even more as he thought to himself, this bastard is really not easy to handle, using most of the common tactics will not work. It seems like I need to think of another way.
During the meal, two of Yuan Yang's comrades pulled him over and talked to him. Meanwhile, the others chit chatted with Gu Qing Pei.
Yuan Yang somehow got a bit absent-minded. He kept on paying attention to the topic Gu Qing Pei could talk with the others, and the result was, he heard them talking about palm reading. Gu Qing Pei was even very pretentious as he helped the soldiers to look at their palms. He made a show of being terribly earnest when looking at their hands. The way he spoke was also closely reasonable and well-argued. He explained the results of his reading to each soldier extremely well. Although a tiny bit of flaw still remained, Gu Qing Pei was able to use a way to express those little flaws until the onlookers couldn't help but to laugh all the way, causing all the rough men to smile in amusement and admire him from front to the back. After a while, Gu Qing Pei had attracted everyone's attention. One by one, Yuan Yang's several comrades immediately stretched their claws in front of Gu Qing Pei so that he could read their palms.
T/N: Shao Ye again admires Gu Qing Pei...*3*!! HAHA
Gu Qing Pei was very serious as he looked at one palm after another. His attitude was easy-going, he was also good and eloquent with his words as he entertained these several soldiers until they were filled with utmost happiness and enjoyment. Just one meal could make them eat in enjoyment and harmony. Until the end, it was actually Zhang Li and few of them-whose faces had turned red with excitement-that fought each other to pay for the bills. This scene made Yuan Yang extremely gloomy and depressed.
After they finished eating and Yuan Yang's comrades were all gone, Gu Qing Pei looked at his watch. Noticing that their working hours were near, he took a short trip to the bathroom. When he came back, he saw Yuan Yang crossing his hands on the chest as he sat at his original seat, looking outside the window. Qu Qing Pei did not know what he was thinking about.
Gu Qing Pei called out, "Let's go back."
Yuan Yang turned around and spoke ironically, "You are really something. I simply don't believe that you are allergic to alcohol."
Gu Qing Pei shrugged his shoulders, "My allergy is seasonal."
"Bullshit."
"It's true. Just like pollen allergy, which has their own season, even alcohol is also the same." Gu Qing Pei said as if such matter really existed.
Yuan Yang simply did not believe him. He gritted his teeth as he said, "Today, seeing that my comrades are here, I am going to give you some face. Next time, if you dare to speak nonsense again, do not blame me if I directly pour the beer straight into your mouth."
As these words were spoken with an impolite tone, Gu Qing Pei's face also sank down. Both of his hand were stuffed into his front pockets as he stood next to Yuan Yang and replied coolly, "If I don't put it like that, then today I am going to get dragged outside by you who bring such a gang to take turns pouring beer down my throat. This is not even an honorable thing to do, yet you are still being rebellious?"
Yuan Yang stood up abruptly and looked at him with narrowed eyes, "When did I say I want to pour the beer down your throat?"
"Oh, then why did you bring so many friends?" Gu Qing Pei smiled, "It's not that I don't dare to drink. If you have the guts, compete with me alone, don't find outsiders for help."
Yuan Yang sneered at him, "You want compete with me on alcohol? No problem, let's find spare time and we can compete properly."
"Alright, it is a deal. So, can you return to office with me now?"
Yuan Yang glared at him for a while before he turned around and walked away.
Gu Qing Pei followed him from behind. Both of them walked across the street and went back to the company.
*****
Zhang Xia was already waiting for Gu Qing Pei outside his office before they arrived. The moment she saw him coming over, she hastily ran towards him, "Director Gu, the executives of the company have been informed. Are we going to start the meeting in ten minutes?"
"Yep, we will start the meeting on time."
"This person is........" Zhang Xia secretly looked at Yuan Yang few times. She immediately felt nervous as her heart beated fast like drums. Oh my god ah, what date it is today ah? Usually, there are more females (yin) than male (yang) inside the company. Those decent-looking men are also not many. And these two handsome men of high quality suddenly came today, how can we digest this thing, ah?
"He is my assistant and driver."
Yuan Yang slowly turned his head around in disbelief, "What?"
Gu Qing Pei said, "Xiao Zhang, you may go first. I will go later."
As Zhang Xia secretly glanced at the tense atmosphere between both of them, she could feel that something was not right. This young handsome man seemed to have a very bad temper, and his attitude didn't seem that good, how can he be hired into this company ah?
*****
After Zhang Xia walked away, Gu Qing Pei automatically returned to his office.
"Fuck, when did I become your assistant and your driver?"
Once Gu Qing Pei entered his office, he began to undo his necktie and explained leisurely, "Based on your academic qualifications, you can only do this two things for now. Young man, don't reach for something that is beyond your grasp. Your future development may be unlimited, but the most important thing for you right now is finish your current work properly."
"Bullshit.... What do you take out your clothes for?"
Gu Qing Pei threw his tie onto the couch, "The flavour and smell of the food this afternoon is too strong, my clothes smelled like smoke. I am going to take a bath and change to a new set of clothes. You can wait for me here or you can go there first." He took out three sets of clothes from his suitcase and then hung them in the cupboard. Then, he picked one of them and prepared to enter the bathroom.
Meanwhile, Yuan Yang was smoldering with anger. He immediately seized his collar forcefully and shouted coldly, "You want me to be your driver? Who do you think you are?"
Yuan Yang's strength was too powerful. Even though he felt that he only pulled lightly, but it had given such a big pressure onto Gu Qing Pei's clothes. Gu Qing Pei looked down. Yep, three buttons of his shirt had dropped to the floor. Yuan Yang's palm just happened to graze his naked chest. To his surprise, a sensation of scorching heat streaked across his whole body.
