Chapter 95 Vodka of 80% V/V
Aware of Yi Yunrui’s anger, Mei Ruo is shocked to be frozen.
In all these years, Yi Yunrui has never spoken to her in such a tone.
She knows that Yi Yunrui is strict with others, but he has never spoken hard words to her. However, he does today.
With tears in her eyes, Mei Ruo turns her face and clenches her fists, “Sorry. I will mind my words in the future.”
Yi Yunrui frowns slightly, “Commissar Mei. How is my eldest brother recently?”
“He is fine.” Mei Ruo almost squeezes her teeth to speak out the words.
She has not contacted with Yi Yuntian for a month. How can she know whether he is good or not?
“Hum.” Yi Yunrui nods, “I hope Commissar Mei can pay more attention to my eldest brother. I don’t want to see what happened in the supermarket happen again. You may go out.”
Mei Ruo takes a deep breath, “Commander, don’t worry. I will manage my own business.”
Saying this, Mei Ruo turns to leave.
Mei Ruo closes the door. Yi Yunrui darkens his eyes. It seems the development of the issue is a little out of control. He has to do something.
She knows that Yi Yunrui is strict with others, but he has never spoken hard words to her. However, he does today.
It is five in the afternoon. Xia Ning has been waiting at the gate of Guohua Hotel.
Because she is at work, Xia Ning wears a creamy-white professional skirt. It is elegant and vigorous. She looks impressive in it.
She waits for a few minutes and Gu Luan arrives. He sees Xia Ning. He lifts his glasses and smiles, “Ning, I haven’t seen you for some days. You get prettier.”
Xia Ning smiles, “Thank you, Director Gu. I am losing my weight these days, so I am in the slim stage.”
“Oh, I think that woman looks better with some weight. Ning, you are a little too slim now…” Gu Luan’s phone rings. His assistant calls.
“Director, Agent Huang is here.”
“OK.” Gu Luan turns to Xia Ning, “He has arrived.”
Gu Luan hangs up the phone. Soon, His assistant takes Agent Huang here.
Agent Huang is in his thirties. He is a senior agent in the entertainment circle. He is in contact with a lot of people and groups. He has nurtured many famous stars. Song Yingying’s success is attributed to him by eighty percent.
There are always some rumors about successful people. There are affirmations on his success, while there are also lots of negative information about him, mostly about his relation with women.
It is known to many people in the circle that he leads a complicated private life.
Agent Huang is middle sized, not fat or slim. He looks common, but his eyes are sharp. Xia Ning doesn’t know if it is her false impression that when Agent Huang looks at her, she feels as if she were undressed.
It feels very odd, as if a needle gives a poke in her heart. Her heart gets tightened.
They greet each other and have their seats. Agent Huang likes wine. So, Gu Luan prepares some good wine for him. Agent Huang, though in his thirties, is not serious at all. Once drinking some wine he begins to talk and doesn’t cease as if the talking box opens.
For half an hour, Gu Luan has hardly said anything. He has been listening and making some comments. Xia Ning pours wine for Agent Huang. She feels uncomfortable, because each time when she pours the wine for him, he will “unconsciously” give her a touch.
Actually, she is not surprised to see this kind of tricky men who like to take the advantage of women. As long as she turns a blind eye to it and doesn’t mention it openly or pay attention to it, it is nothing serious.
Agent Huang can drink a lot. After finishing a bottle of red wine, his face is only a little red. But he speaks even more and his eyes get more impolite.
Then, Xia Ning finds that the topic turns to be about her. He asks about her and she responds skillfully.
“Director Gu, is Miss Xia the Director of the Entertainment Page in your TV station?”
“Yes, Ning does well in her work. The report about Miss Song is in her charge.”
“Oh, well.” Agent Huang looks at Xia Ning, “Miss Xia is very beautiful and she is smart. I like women of this kind. As regards Yingying, Miss Xia doesn’t need to worry. I will tell her and it will be done.”
“Thank you, Agent Huang.” Xia Ning takes the glass and toasts to him.
After drinking the wine, Agent Huang turns his eyes, “I like wine. I wonder if Miss Xia drinks well.”
Xia Ning hesitates, “No, but not bad.”
“Good. You are frank.” Saying this, Agent Huang tells his assistant, “Bring me the vodka I brought here.”
“OK.”
The assistant leaves. Xia Ning’s smile gets a little stiff. Gu Luan takes a sip of the wine. His eyes flash slightly.
Soon, the assistant comes back with vodka. Seeing the volume of it, Xia Ning is shocked.
God, 80% V/V! It will be surprising if she doesn’t collapse after several glasses of it.
Agent Huang pours one glass for each one, “I like strong liquor. I will empty it. Miss Xia and Director Gu, be my guest.”
Agent Huang lifts his head and empties the glass.
Considering this is the first glass, Xia Ning also lifts her head to empty it.
“Miss Xia is a good drinker, come on, another glass.” Saying this, Agent Huang pours another glass for Xia Ning.
“Agent Huang.” Gu Luan speaks, “It is rare to see the Vodka with such high percentage of alcohol. I wonder where Agent Huang gets it.”
“Well.” Agent Huang is proud, “Actually, it is not bought from Russia. It is from a Japanese friend of mine. He gave me two bottles. I kept one at home for future use. This is the other bottle. I am happy today to meet Miss Xia. Let’s drink it together.”
Gu Luan smiles, “Agent Huang is partial to Ning. It is good liquor and you only share it with Ning. Honestly, I like strong liquor, too.”
Agent Huang widens his eyes slightly, “Does Director Gu also like strong liquor? Hahaha, it is surprising. Director Gu looks so elegant. It turns out that you are a real man.”
“You are flattering me.” Gu Luan says and glances at the liquor. The assistant pours a glass for him at once, “Come on. Agent Huang, I toast you.”
So, the two men drink one glass and another, one toast after another, and soon half of the bottle is emptied. Xia Ning looks at them. She is shocked. Liquor of 80% V/V can burn the bowels. Though she knows that Gu Luan can drink a lot, drinking in this way is really risking his life.
After a few rounds of drinking, Agent Huang pauses and waves his hand, “Amazing! I admire you. Let’s call it a day.”
Gu Luan puts down his glass, “Agent Huang is flattering me. I am happy today so I have a good condition to drink more. I will surely make a scene if as usual.”
“Hahaha!” Agent Huang laughs and turns to Xia Ning, “Ning is the Director of Entertainment Page, we may have many chances to meet in the future. I will stay in this country for some time. I wonder whether Ning will reject or not if I want to meet with you one day.”
Agent Huang addresses Xia Ning “Ning” instead of “Miss Xia”. Xia Ning smiles and nods, “Agent Huang is flattering me. If I can make the time, I surely won’t reject your invitation.”
“Good. Very good.” Agent Huang’s eyes flash. He turns to talk with Gu Luan.
Both men have drunk a lot and the topics become fierce. What they talk about are from funny stories in the entertainment circle to national issues, and from national issues to women. There is a lot of bold wording. Xia Ning listens and smiles.
It seems that the alcohol takes effect. Agent Huang draws Gu Luan and plays madness with him for a while. Then it seems that someone calls him. Agent Huang answers the phone and shakes his head, “It is not the right time. Really not the right time.”
“Does Agent Huang have anything important?”
Agent Huang shakes his head, “Yes. Yingying is losing her temper. Director Gu. We may call it a day. As regards the exclusive interview, I will arrange in these two days. I need to go now.” Then, Agent Huang turns to Xia Ning, “Ning, we will talk later.”
“OK.” Xia Ning nods and responds.
Before they leave, Gu Luan and Agent Huang horse about again in front of the hotel for a while until Agent Huang’s car goes away.
“Ning, you drank a lot today. You should go home.” Gu Luan’s face is red. He waves his hand, “Go home. To have a bath and go to sleep.”
Xia Ning feels warm, “Hum. I will. Director Gu, are you OK?”
“I am fine.” Gu Luan waves his hand, “Oh, right, I forget. Both of us drank. We can’t drive.” He takes out his phone and makes a call, “Assistant Li, come to Guohua Hotel to pick up Director Xia and me.”
Gu Luan hangs up the phone and turns to Xia Ning, “Assistant Li will be here soon. We can take a walk first to drop off the smell of the liquor. “
“OK.” Xia Ning responds and follows Gu Luan.
Agent Huang leaves early. It is past eight in the evening and many people come to the hotel. It is noisy. Gu Luan and Xia Ning choose a small path and walk slowly.
Not knowing whether it is because of the night wind, Gu Luan’s pace is a little jerky. Xia Ning reaches to support him.
Gu Luan pauses slightly. He smiles, “Sorry. I made it embarrassing.”
“It is nothing embarrassing. Director Gu helped me with the liquor and drank so much. I am really sorry.” She knows that Gu Luan was trying to change Agent Huang’s topic and attention. He made Agent Huang and himself drink a lot. Or, Xia Ning is surely drunk now.
Gu Luan adjusts his body, “You also drank a lot today. Will Commander Yi mind?”
Xia Ning thinks for a while, “He doesn’t mind. I told him that I had a dinner party this evening.”
“Has he come back?” Gu Luan remembers something and says, “You don’t need to take care of me. You can ask Commander Yi to pick you up. My assistant will be here soon.”
“It is OK. He is still in the Military Region.” Xia Ning supports Gu Luan, “Director Gu, that vodka is strong. You may sit down for a while. I go to fetch a bottle of Shuhua milk for you.
Saying this, Xia Ning wants to leave but suddenly she feels that her hand is held by Gu Luan tightly.
