"Xiao Yan, these snacks are yours, and all this wine is mine, how about it?" Chu Lingtian asked Guo Xiao Yan with a smile.
Guo Xiao Yan shook her head, her gaze firm, and said, "That won't do. Although my alcohol tolerance isn't great, we're not going home tonight until we're drunk!"
"You're in high spirits, is there something happy going on?" Chu Lingtian chuckled.
"Zhang Tao was beaten into a vegetative state and can no longer come to work at the company. I'll never be harassed by him again, so of course I'm happy. By the way, Brother Chu, do you know who beat Zhang Tao?" Guo Xiao Yan asked, her face beaming with joy, her eyes questioning Chu Lingtian.
Chu Lingtian shook his head and replied, "I don't know that. But for a scumbag like Zhang Tao, he must have offended many people. It's not surprising at all that he was beaten or killed, and it's not worth thinking about. From now on, you can work hard and steadily at the company, and strive for an early promotion and raise."
"Mhm mhm." Guo Xiao Yan nodded obediently and charmingly, then raised her wine glass and said to Chu Lingtian, "Brother Chu, thank you for your care. I'll toast you with this glass."
"Silly girl, we're friends, don't mention thanks. If you have any problems in the future, just tell me." Chu Lingtian also raised his glass and gently clinked it with Guo Xiao Yan's.
At this moment, the male manager of the bar, along with a male and female waiter, walked up to Chu Lingtian and Guo Xiao Yan, smiling broadly and saying, "Brother Chu, hello, I'm Huang Hao, the manager of this bar. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Hello, what can I do for you?" Chu Lingtian looked up at Huang Hao and asked.
Huang Hao replied, "Our boss asked me to bring you something."
"Your boss? Who?" Chu Lingtian frowned and asked doubtfully.
Huang Hao did not answer Chu Lingtian's question. Instead, he waved his right hand, and the male and female waiters behind him removed the other drinks and snacks from the glass coffee table, replacing them with a bottle of wine and some expensive snacks.
"Brother Chu, please enjoy. Our boss said he will come to see you in person later." Huang Hao said, then turned and left.
Chu Lingtian looked confused; he couldn't figure out who the boss of this bar was.
"My God, this bottle of wine is a Romanée-Conti!" Guo Xiao Yan exclaimed unconsciously as she looked at the bottle of red wine Huang Hao had brought on the glass coffee table.
"Romanée-Conti?" Chu Lingtian had never heard the name of this wine before.
"Yes, I remember my teacher mentioning it once when I was in college. Romanée-Conti is a world-renowned red wine, and a bottle costs over a million. Brother Chu, who is this friend of yours who owns the bar? They're too generous to you." Guo Xiao Yan nodded and replied.
"I don't know who the boss of this bar is either." Chu Lingtian shook his head, then smiled, "Since this wine is so good, let's drink it and try it. As Manager Huang said just now, the boss will come to see me in person soon."
"But, such expensive wine..." Guo Xiao Yan also wanted to try it, but she felt it was too extravagant to drink wine worth millions.
Chu Lingtian directly opened the wine cap, poured a glass for Guo Xiao Yan first, and then poured one for himself. He picked up the glass, smelled it, and nodded, "It seems that expensive things have their reasons for being expensive. You can tell it's good wine just by the smell."
"Mhm mhm." Guo Xiao Yan also raised her glass, sniffed it, and nodded with a smile.
At this moment, at the largest booth nearby, a young man in an international designer suit, about twenty-five years old, sat on the sofa in a defiant posture and an arrogant expression. On his left and right sat a scantily clad beauty.
The young man's gaze was fixed on Guo Xiao Yan, his eyes repeatedly scanning her large chest, slender waist, and plump buttocks. He leered and said, "What a pure and beautiful woman, such a rare sight."
"Young Master Wei, don't worry, I'll have this woman come over to drink with you right away, and she'll spend the night with you too." The young man sitting next to him said with a fawning smile, his expression ingratiating towards the man in the suit.
"Then I'll see how you perform." The young man in the suit nodded and said with a playful smile.
The fawning and ingratiating young man stood up and walked towards Chu Lingtian and Guo Xiao Yan.
"Little beauty, let's get acquainted. My name is Wang Jie." The young man walked up to Guo Xiao Yan, not even glancing at Chu Lingtian, and said with a confident smile.
Guo Xiao Yan looked up at Wang Jie and asked, "Do you need something?"
"Fate brought us together. I'd like to invite you to our booth for a drink." As Wang Jie spoke, he pointed his hand towards the booth they were sitting in.
Guo Xiao Yan glanced over and saw that besides four bottles of Romanée-Conti in Wang Jie's booth, there were several other expensive bottles of wine. These people clearly belonged to the wealthy and influential. The arrogant young man in the suit, sitting in the center, saw Guo Xiao Yan looking at him and smirked lewdly, deliberately spreading his legs in a lewd and defiant manner.
"I'm sorry, I'm not interested." Guo Xiao Yan said to Wang Jie with an expression of disgust.
Wang Jie frowned, but still smiled, "Little beauty, perhaps you don't know who we are. Let me put it this way, in this city of Dachang, if you become friends with us, you can act with impunity and achieve great success."
"I don't want to be friends with you. Please leave." Guo Xiao Yan was not a fool and could see that Wang Jie and his group had ill intentions towards her, so she replied coldly.
"Heh heh." Wang Jie, enraged, laughed instead. When his seduction failed, his expression turned fierce and threatening. "It's giving you face to ask you to come for a drink. If you offend us, I guarantee you won't be able to leave this bar tonight."
Guo Xiao Yan was startled and a bit flustered. As an ordinary girl with little personal strength and no powerful family background to back her up, she truly couldn't afford to offend young masters like Wang Jie.
"I say, you're talking too much damn nonsense. The girl clearly expressed that she doesn't want to drink and doesn't want to be friends with you, so why are you still barking here like a dog? Didn't your parents teach you basic manners?" Chu Lingtian sat on his chair, crossed his legs, holding his wine glass in his right hand, and reprimanded Wang Jie.
Wang Jie turned his head, his eyes glaring angrily at Chu Lingtian, and arrogantly cursed, "You little bastard, I command you to kneel down and apologize to me immediately, or I'll make sure you never have the chance to speak again in your life!"
