Chapter 195: Chapter 195 Threat
That guy was completely Li Yunlaiâs lackey. At this moment, he chuckled and said, "About these three drinks, thereâs a particular way to do it. Itâs called deep communication."
Sun Yali frowned and asked, "What deep communication?"
The lackey said cheerfully, "The first drink, you clink glasses and drink normally. Thatâs just getting to know each other."
That doesnât seem to be difficult.
"For the second one, well, you need to take a cross-cupped drink."
Song Xiaoruâs brow furrowed, and Sun Yaliâs expression turned sour as well.
Feeling proud, the lackey continued, "For the second drink, the sentiment deepens, and as for the third... now that requires real deep communication. You need to drink from your glass and then feed it to the other person."
"What!" Song Xiaoru and Sun Yali exclaimed in anger.
The lackey straightened his neck and said, "Just these three drinks. If you accompany Manager Li in drinking them, then he will agree to what youâve asked for. If you donât agree, then thereâs no deal."
Li Yunlai leered at Song Xiaoru and said, "Miss Song, do you know that this contract is worth more than five million a year? For Manager Sun, the benefits are far from trivial. Besides, Miss Song, as long as you drink these three drinks with me, youâll be my friend in the future. Whatever you need from me, there will absolutely be no problems."
Song Xiaodong then interjected indifferently, "And what if she doesnât accompany you for the drinks?"
Li Yunlai glanced at Song Xiaodong, not taking him seriously, and said, "If you donât drink with me, then thereâs definitely no deal."
Sun Yali slammed her hand on the table and said angrily, "Li Yunlai, this is my classmate. Youâre going too far. I wonât do this contract. Xiaoru, letâs go!"
Song Xiaoru also understood that this was not acceptable and stood up to leave as well.
Seeing the two about to leave, Li Yunlai slammed his drink down and shouted, "Sun Yali, I warn you, if you walk out now, itâs not just that our company wonât talk to you about contracts in the future, but also, your company will never land another contract in our city."
"You sure talk big, Manager Li." Song Xiaodong squinted his eyes.
"Hmph, kid, do you think Iâm just talking big? I have the power. Do you know their product? Not many companies need it, yet our company is the absolute authority in this industry. If I say their product doesnât meet the standards, not a single company will do business with them. Manager Sun, itâs not just about losing an order; because of your decision, your company could go under. Can you afford that consequence?"
Song Xiaodong spoke dismissively, "But it seems your company isnât a one-man show, right? Youâre just a minor manager. I donât know where youâre getting all this confidence from."
Immediately, the lackey raised his neck arrogantly and said, "You really donât know your place. Our President Li is the nephew-in-law of the companyâs General Manager. Do you think his word doesnât count in this company?"
Song Xiaodong chuckled softly and replied, "If you were related to some group company, that might be something. But being the nephew-in-law of a branch manager, what does that count for?"
Li Yunlai hadnât taken Song Xiaodong seriously, but upon hearing this, he grew furious, glared at Song Xiaodong, and said, "Kid, do you realize that by saying this, youâve angered me?"
"So what if Iâve angered you?" Song Xiaodong sat cross-legged, lit a cigarette, and didnât take him seriously at all.
Li Yunlai glared at Song Xiaodong and said coldly, "Do you believe that with one phone call, I can have more than ten guys here to beat you so bad even your grandmother wonât recognize you?"
Song Xiaodong blew out a smoke ring and replied, "So this department manager, successful deal or not, still plays tough guy. Since when did Qingyuan Group start resorting to this?"
"Kid, youâve really pissed me off now, very good, very good. Iâll make you see whether I have the ability or not. You better not leave." Li Yunlai said as he picked up his phone.
Sun Yali quickly pressed Li Yunlaiâs hand down and urgently said, "Manager Li, letâs talk this over calmly, please. Heâs young and doesnât know any better. I apologize to you on his behalf."
Li Yunlaiâs eyes widened and he retorted, "Doesnât know any better? Well, Iâll teach him a lesson. Iâll let him learn not everyone can provoke me."
Sun Yali became even more anxious and immediately said to Song Xiaodong and Song Xiaoru, "Xiaoru, take your brother and go."
At this moment, Song Xiaoru was at a loss and turned to look at Song Xiaodong. Song Xiaodong squeezed her hand gently, gave a faint smile, and said, "Let him find his guys. In a moment, heâll regret it too late to cry."
Stomping her foot in frustration, Sun Yali said, "Xiaoru, I know youâre trying to help, but this has nothing to do with you. Please donât get involved in this mess. If something really goes wrong, I wonât be able to bear it."
Song Xiaodong narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is there no one in this world who can handle him?"
Li Yunlai sneered and replied, "Itâs not that there is no one who can handle me, but you definitely donât qualify."
The smile on Song Xiaodongâs face grew wider as he said, "Then what about Miao Qingqing, President Miao?"
"President Miao?" Li Yunlai was taken aback. Although Miao Qingqing hadnât been with the company long, her reputation was quite significant. She only abided by principles and ignored personal relationships. In just over a year, she had already fired quite a few senior employees and even some managers.
However, Li Yunlai looked at Song Xiaodong and quickly sneered again, saying, "So you even know about our President Miao Qingqing. But what makes you think you could speak to her?"
Song Xiaodong simply stated, "Thatâs not necessarily true."
Sun Yali didnât believe it at all, knowing just how ordinary the pairâs jobs were, doubting they would have the status to know Miao Qingqing. Now more anxious, she said, "Please, just leave quickly. Iâm begging you, Xiaoru, donât let your brother cause me any trouble."
Li Yunlai, who was initially somewhat uneasy, felt reassured upon hearing Sun Yaliâs words, and with a harsh expression, he said, "Kid, if you really had the means, would Manager Sun need to come to me? Talking big without being afraid your tongue will snap. And let me tell you, by bluffing me, youâve angered me even more. I will let you understand just how terrifying the consequences of provoking me can be."
The lackey then immediately said, "To get our Manager Li to forgive this little guy, itâs simple. Beautiful lady, just drink these three cups of deep exchange."
Indeed, that was Li Yunlaiâs intention. Holding his phone, he squinted at Song Xiaoru. He didnât believe that under these circumstances the beauty would still refuse.
"Outrageous, who gave you such audacity!" Along with a womanâs indignant outcry, someone pushed open the door and walked in.
