Chapter 1164 Heather of the Other Shore (188)

Red wine isn’t low-alcohol beer, do they think it’s just water?

Could it be...

However long they chatted inside, is how long the two of them sat here drinking?

"I just heard Mr. Gu say that they’ll be staying in Linyang for a few more days. I’ve already agreed with him that, as someone who’s been here a bit longer, I’ll take them around."

"Hmm?" Heather was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Nian is going to be their local guide? Aren’t you supposed to be preparing for the branch office? Do you still have time?"

"Building connections is also important. No matter how busy, you have to make time for it. Through this medium, you can lay a foundation for establishing a foothold in Xicheng in the future."

"...Alright then."

Heather’s expression was completely one of "I don’t really understand the world of you business people."

"But in Linyang, you’ve been here longer than I have, so you can be the planner of where to go. Time-wise, I can fit in at any moment. Just discuss it with Yi Yang."

Heather almost choked on her own saliva.

She was just about to say it had nothing to do with her when this important task was handed to her.

But fortunately, Gu Liancheng and Qianxun are her people, so there’s no need to make the hospitality too commercial.

"Cough, I’ll try to arrange it."

"However..." Nian Shen smiled and said, "Mr. Gu specifically instructed me that if it’s a place requiring an overnight stay, make sure not to put Mrs. Gu in a room with you."

Heather paused for a moment and immediately understood, smiling.

"In situations like tonight, Mr. Gu doesn’t want a repeat of this again."

"I’ll try..." She was already laughing uncontrollably.

As Heather spoke, she poured herself a glass, shook it, and savored it.

"Hmm... rich and delicious... but... not as I imagined, a bit too sweet."

"You don’t like sweet things?"

"It’s okay... but it feels too girly. Why does Mr. Nian like to drink something slightly sweet? It’s not quite your style."

"It reminds me of my ex-girlfriend’s flavor."

Heather paused, "The flavor of your ex-girlfriend? What was Mr. Nian’s ex-girlfriend like?"

"Just like it, looks and tastes different, very enchanting."

She laughed: "Anyway, the current girlfriend isn’t here. I’m just curious, comparing the ex and the current, who’s better?"

"Can’t compare."

"Who can’t be compared to whom?"

Nian Shen slightly curved the corner of his mouth: "What do you think?"

"Pfft... alright. But... since the ex was so good, why did you break up?"

"Because she was too good, she thought she could do better and left."

"Oh..." Heather shrugged, "No worries, she’s short-sighted, Mr. Nian is quite good."

"Can’t you think of anything new to comfort people?"

"..." She laughed, "Come on, drink up."

...

Maybe it was the drinking with Nian Shen last night, but the next morning when Heather woke up, her head felt fuzzy. So she got a basin of hot water and washed her face well.

Yawning as she went out, Nian Shen was already up in the living room and had called for breakfast. A hotel waiter was delivering delicious food.

"Good morning, Mr. Nian." Heather walked over and sat across from Nian Shen.

"Morning." Nian Shen was already drinking milk.

"Mr. Nian, here are the two cups of coffee you ordered." The waiter was a woman around thirty, smiling as she placed the coffee in front of Nian Shen, her lingering gaze studying him for a long time, enraptured by his good looks.
