Chapter 170: Chapter 170 Drunk
Translator: Doggotranslation
“She will explain it to me?” A layer of frost condensed on Liusu’s little face, “Why does she need to explain to me?”
Liusu must have been thinking too much, but for such a complicated thing, it couldn’t be explained in just a few sentences, so I flicked her forehead and chuckled, “Anyway, I didn’t do anything unfaithful. Just wait for me to come back and stop worrying. Woman, have some confidence in your man, okay?”
Liusu instantly blushed, “Who, who is your woman? !” She seemed dissatisfied, but her blushing pretty face and her watery eyes filled with coyness, all proved that her joy was greater than her anger.
Alas women, they never spoke their hearts.
Saying such mushy words in front of Mo Fei, surely, it could prove that I was honest, right? I was also a little embarrassed. Fortunately, my face was thick enough. After Liusu threw a weak punch at me, I said to Mo Fei, “Let’s go.”
“Oh. . . Oh.” Mo Fei’s slightly sluggish reaction and slightly shocked expression made me confused.
The smile she showed again seemed to be stiffer. Was it my illusion?
Did Mo Fei get jealous after seeing me saying those words to Liusu? How was it possible? I secretly laughed at myself for having such a thought.
…
When the 45 million yuan returned to the company, I was finally relieved, and on my account, I also received 1% of the ‘intermediary fee’ – 450,000.
In fact, as far as the investment department was concerned, the income from this short-term investment was only a mere one or two million, which was not a big profit. However, because of the investment, Heng Xiang actually owed us a favor, which could be valuable in the future.
Guo Xiang, of course, was the happiest person today. The large sum of capital injection had allowed him to get a contract worth more than 100 million yuan, and it would only take half a year for his company to completely recover; it might even help his company to become much more successful than before.
In the evening, Guo Xiang hosted a banquet to entertain some relevant people including the bank president. Although I attended the banquet as a mere formality, whenever someone came to Mo Fei and proposed a toast, I still had to drink on behalf of Mo Fei.
After a while, I began to feel tipsy. In terms of Mo Fei, she didn’t drink much, but she still told everyone apologetically that she felt slightly drunk, so she needed to leave early. Everyone expressed that it was understandable, so they didn’t insist that we stay.
After all, everyone also knew that after this banquet, Guo Xiang definitely also arranged some other activities that were not suitable to have ladies like Mo Fei present.
Regarding such activities, Guo Xiang also had no other choices. After all, this was the trend in the current business world. When doing business with other people, different people would need to be dealt with differently. As long as the right method was used, as far as business people were concerned, there was no distinction between elegance and vulgarity.
When I got up from my seat, I felt a little dizzy. I forced myself to walk out of the booth and kindly declined other people’s offer of sending me home. Turning around and before I was able to take a few steps, I found that my legs were weak. I knew clearly that there were only two steps in front, but no matter how I rub my eyes, it still felt like there were six or eight steps. . .
“Ah~! Chu Nan, slow down. Are you okay?”
After missing a step, I staggered forward a few steps. Fortunately, Mo Fei reacted quickly and grabbed me in time. It was just that I was quite heavy, she almost couldn’t stop me and fell to the ground with me.
“I, I’m fine. . .” I gently pushed Mo Fei away. As a big man, what would it make me look like if I let Mo Fei support me walking? But when I lifted my legs, I immediately felt as if I had stepped on a cloud, and my feet were light and weak. . .
‘Damn it.’ I was startled by the stagger just now, so my mind stayed clear for a few moments. But right after Mo Fei grabbed me, my head became dizzy again.
‘Damn it! I am really drunk!’
I was drinking almost without a break earlier. After drinking several glasses of Baijiu liquor, all I felt was the kick of the liquor at the beginning, but my mind was still very clear. I thought that my alcohol tolerance had improved, but it turned out the alcohol effect hadn’t kicked in yet. . .
Mo Fei once again held my arm again and rolled her eyes helplessly at me, “you can’t even walk properly, but you still want to push yourself. It is just drunk, why are you trying to pretend to be a big man.”
“I am a big man. Why do I need to pretend?” I retorted with a smile, but no longer declined Mo Fei’s help. If I really fell to the ground in front of her, it would be so embarrassing for me to keep living anymore.
“Yes, yes, you are a big man,” Mo Fei definitely thought that I had become completely drunk. She actually smiled at me and coaxed me like a child, “You looked so dashing and manly when you were drinking on behalf of me.”
“Of, of course, I, I am a true, big man. . .”
Eh?
Even my tongue began to refuse to work properly. As I staggered like a duck into the lift with Mo Fei’s help, the mirror on the walls immediately reflected a fool’s smiling face that looked like a monkey’s butt.
Slovenly and scruffy, a pair of eyes were flashing with the lecherous luster, it clearly looked like someone who deserved a beating. . .
Damn it! It was actually me! When I saw that the pink face next to the monkey face was actually Mo Fei, I almost smashed that damn mirror with my head. Although I wasn’t particularly handsome, I didn’t look at this at all. . .
“This hotel is really interesting, it actually installed a distorting mirror in the elevator. . .”
“Distorting mirror?” Mo Fei was confused for a second, and then couldn’t help but chuckled when she realized what I was talking about, “Yes, it is a distorting mirror. Otherwise, how can Mr. Chu, one of the handsome guys in the general operation team of our investment department, looks like this in the mirror, haha. . .”
Mo Fei still tried to tease me like I was a kid. Then I suddenly realized that my mind was already in a muddled state. Clearly, it was not the mirror that made me look like this, but I actually wanted to escape reality and began to talk nonsense. Wasn’t this a sign of drunkenness?
My mind seemed to be struggling to guard the last bit of soberness. However, I was really drunk. In my memory, I had never drunk so much liquor before. Probably, it was the first time that I had been this drunk.
I shouldn’t forget my manner in front of Mo Fei! So I secretly thought: “Stop talking! You will embarrass yourself”
“Huh? What did you say?!”
“Oh, I said stop. . . Eh? !” Wasn’t I just secretly thinking? How did she hear it? ! Then I suddenly realized it again and gave myself a heavy slap on the face.
Mo Fei was taken aback and said anxiously: “Chu Nan, what are you doing? !”
“There was a mosquito!” With the burning pain, I stood up straight and leaned against the wall, and finally said a reasonable excuse.
Mo Fei rolled her eyes again. One of my arms still draped over Mo Fei’s shoulder, and she seemed to be struggling to stand up, “Chu Nan, can you stand up straight? I can’t . . hold. . . it. . . anymore. . . . . .”
I felt very dizzy. So much so that I couldn’t even feel the gravity of the earth, so I leaned against Mo Fei and almost pressed her to the ground. . .
“I. I’m leaning like Mike, Mike Jackson, dance, space dance. . .”
For f*** sake, what was I talking about? !
I finally faced the biggest crisis in my life: I was really drunk! ‘It turns out that this is what the real drunk feels like. What… What should I do?’
Thinking of the various behaviors of Liusu in the past after being drunk, a chill went down my spine. Would I make a fool of myself in front of Mo Fei? !
I felt like my head was being filled with glue, so sticky that it couldn’t do its job at all, yet I still had a little bit of sense left, so that I still understood what was happening.
Originally, I wanted to open the window to have some fresh air. But who would have thought that the weather in June was like Chu Yuan’s face? It was so unpredictable that it began to rain all of sudden. . .
What was being played in the car was still Wang Fei’s songs. However, her originally ethereal voice was like an anesthetic to my brain at the moment. In my squinted eyes, the only thing that seemed to shine outside the car’s window was the dim, psychedelic neon light.
Mo Fei drove the car cautiously and suddenly said: “Chu Nan, thank you.”
“Mhm. . .” I know why she thanked me. So I accepted it calmly and without humility. I didn’t know if it was because I finally lifted the burden in my heart. I just felt extremely tired.
Mo Fei seemed to smile and she stopped speaking. After knowing each other for a period of time, she also learned a little about my character. If she was too polite, it would only irritate me.
