Chapter 1614 - 1609: Setting the Trap on Purpose

Sensing Song Yaling’s nervousness and awkwardness, Xiaobei’s lips curved into a faint smile.

Just as he was about to say something, Xiaobei heard their enthusiastic greeting.

"It really is Master Xiaobei! It’s true, isn’t it!"

"Right, right!"

All these people were murmuring to themselves...

They wanted to say something more, but couldn’t find the words...

What could they do!

Their minds were completely blank now!

Hearing their warm greeting, Xiaobei chuckled and said softly, "Hello everyone, let’s not keep blocking the way here! It wouldn’t look too proper if others see us, right!"

"Huh? Yes!"

Agreeing to this, they quickly took a few steps back...

As they stepped back, Xiaobei glanced at Song Yaling and said, "Sister Song, no need to be so nervous!"

Originally tense, Song Yaling, upon hearing Xiaobei’s tease, quickly stepped back and said, "What are you talking about, I... I’m not nervous at all! Not at all!"

Knowing she wouldn’t admit it, Xiaobei didn’t press the matter, instead laughing it off, "Yes, you’re not nervous, so let’s head out now. It’s not a good look to keep standing in the elevator, right."

"Mm!"

Agreeing, Song Yaling took a deep breath and quickly walked out.

Xiaobei laughed heartily and quickly followed.

...

Two minutes later, Xiaobei and Song Yaling arrived at the luxurious private room.

Xiaobei keenly noticed that the room had been rearranged.

Xiaobei knew it must have been Guo Meng’s doing.

"You’ve put in the effort!"

Muttering this to himself, Xiaobei glanced at a slightly nervous Guo Meng.

"Master Xiaobei, please sit here."

Hearing this, Xiaobei glanced at the main seat and said, "No need for such formality! Just sit wherever!"

"How can that be! Master Xiaobei, you must sit here!"

"Well... alright then!"

Xiaobei didn’t stand on ceremony and directly sat in the main seat arranged for him.

Xiaobei knew that if he didn’t sit there, they would feel uneasy, so he decided to just go with the flow.

After sitting down, Xiaobei glanced at the spot next to him and said, "Sister Song, have a seat too."

"I won’t sit, I’m not very hungry!"

Hearing Song Yaling’s words, Guo Meng quickly looked at her and said, "Manager Song, you must sit, otherwise how can we dare to sit!"

"Right, right!"

Hearing Guo Meng’s words, the others echoed quickly.

They were all shrewd, knowing the relationship between Song Yaling and Xiaobei, so they wouldn’t dare leave her standing...

Otherwise, it’d be like giving Xiaobei a dose of bitterness...

"Well... alright then!"

Responding, Song Yaling quietly sat next to Xiaobei.

Truth be told, she really hadn’t planned to sit down before...

Because she knew this was a business meeting between Xiaobei and them, and she wouldn’t have much to contribute.

But she was quite happy because Xiaobei having her sit there was a complete acknowledgment of her.

...

"Everyone, it’s a pleasure to see you all here today. I hope our future cooperation will be especially joyful!"

Once everyone was seated, Xiaobei squinted his eyes and spoke softly.

"Yes, Master Xiaobei, our future cooperation will surely be pleasant!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

They quickly chimed in warmly, honestly hoping for a long-term cooperation with Xiaobei, wishing nothing would disrupt it.

Seeing them nod, Xiaobei smiled, and soon, he looked at Guo Meng and said, "Guo, when’s the food going to be served? It should be about time!"

"Huh? Right! I’ll go let them know!"

With that, Guo Meng quickly stood up, and after he hurried out, the others quickly found excuses to leave as well.

In a few seconds, the spacious private room was left with just Xiaobei and Song Yaling.

"Xiaobei, this is quite exaggerated, everyone actually ran out."

Glancing at the empty room, Song Yaling quietly joked.

Taking a sip of water, Xiaobei smiled and said, "They’re probably discussing something, I guess they’re likely planning how to get me drunk later."

"Get you drunk? Trying to get you drunk?"

"That’s what I think!"

"I don’t believe it!"

"If you don’t believe it, let’s wait and see!"

With a gentle smile, Xiaobei picked up a handful of sunflower seeds and began to crack them open. Seeing Xiaobei’s confident demeanor, Song Yaling felt a bit uneasy.

"Could this little bastard have guessed right again?"

Mumbling this, she also picked up a handful of sunflower seeds and quietly started cracking them open.

...

"Why did you all follow me out?"

Guo Meng, stopped in the corridor, looked at them and slightly furrowed his brow...

Seeing them all follow him out, Guo Meng was truly startled.

Hearing Guo Meng’s question, they quickly explained their thoughts.

"Guo Meng, should we have a proper drink with Master Xiaobei later?"

"Drink?"

"Yes, if we don’t have a proper drink, how can we strengthen our relationship?"

"Well... "

Guo Meng pondered.

He thought it made some sense.

Having a drink together could lead to more conversation.

Seeing Guo Meng contemplating, they quickly said, "Guo Meng, have you arranged the dishes with the kitchen already?"

"That’s right! It was all set beforehand, perfectly suited for Master Xiaobei’s taste, so he’s sure to like it!"

"That’s good then!"

They quickly nodded...

Truth be told, they were truly worried Guo Meng hadn’t prepared.

"Okay, you all go back first, I’ll order some wine later, and we’ll have a few drinks together."

"Alright!"

...

After making their plan, they proactively left with three cases of wine.

Seeing this, Xiaobei turned to Song Yaling, who had also noticed, and quietly sighed!

"This little bastard really does have a knack for guessing! He guessed completely right!"

As Song Yaling mumbled to herself, they sat down again.

"Master Xiaobei, it’s our first meeting today, let’s not leave until we’re drunk!"

"Right, Master Xiaobei!"

"Isn’t drinking that much a bit much? Let’s just drink a little!"

"No way, we must enjoy ourselves!"

Hearing their insistent invitation, Xiaobei hesitated, "Well... alright then! But my drinking capacity isn’t great, so please go easy on me!"

"Of course! We’ll go easy on you!"

They eagerly thumped their chests and made promises...

Hearing their bold promises, Song Yaling let out a quiet sigh and muttered, "These people have fallen into that little bastard’s trap again!"

Song Yaling had been in business for many years!

She had encountered many heavy drinkers before, but none could match Xiaobei.

They didn’t even have the qualifications to be his opponents...

Song Yaling believed these people weren’t a match for Xiaobei either, so they’d soon be schooled by him.

"After this time, they probably won’t ever forget today, and in the future, won’t dare drink with Xiaobei again!"

Muttering this to herself, Song Yaling took a sip of tea, enjoying herself...
