Chapter 268: Are You Questioning Me as My Wife? (2)

Lu Manman smiled at Yang Can’s complaints.

It was easy to deal with a nouveau riche.

The hardest to deal with were intellectuals who were arrogant.

She raised an eyebrow and said, “Help me ask Chen Ke out for a meal. Tell him I have a red packet. He won’t reject me. At seven tonight.”

“Alright.” Yang Can hurriedly nodded.

From the start of their work progress, no leader had ever taken the initiative to invite a client for a meal, especially for a top company like Lu Firm in Wen City. They could not curry favor with a small factory in an industrial park, but it had to be said that such a small factory was enough to severely hinder Lu Firm’s development.

“Other than you, I’ll get another colleague to come along tonight. We’ll have a drink together. Along with Secretary Zhang and I, we’ll have a total of four people. Remember to remind Chen Ke, in case he doesn’t know how many people he’s having a meal with. It won’t be easy to rearrange. We’ll pick a more luxurious place to have a meal and set the bar higher. Report to me if you exceed the limit.”

“Alright.”

“Go prepare.”

“Yes.”

After Yang Can left, Lu Manman looked at the doc.u.ment in her hand.

At six-thirty, she was already waiting in the luxurious private room of the five-star hotel.

Yang Can was waiting outside.

Actually, there was no need for such a huge commotion for someone like Chen Ke. However, based on her previous life’s interactions, this person loved crowds and being complimented the most.

A few minutes after seven, Chen Ke appeared at the hotel with two others. Yang Can hurried to welcome them and led Chen Ke into the private room.

The extravagance of the private room made Chen Ke’s eyes light up. Thankfully, he had seen enough of the world over the years to not make it too obvious. He just turned to look at Lu Manman.

Lu Manman had already gotten up from her seat and was walking toward the door. “h.e.l.lo, Director Chen. I’m Lu Manman.”

“h.e.l.lo, Director Lu.” Chen Ke smiled, and they shook hands.

Lu Manman got Chen Ke to sit down.

The huge room and huge dining table were filled with delicacies. Chen Ke sat beside Lu Manman and asked, “What’s the theme today? It’s so extravagant.”

“What theme could there be? It’s just a meal, so we can get to know each other. Director Chen, you should know that I just joined the company, so of course I have to get to know the big companies in Wen City and expand my network.” Lu Manman’s words sounded normal, but they were full of flattery.

Chen Ke felt good hearing that. He was afraid of being looked down on. He had been a boss once, and now that he was an official under someone else, he felt a little disappointed. Many people were like that. The less valuable something was, the more he liked to show it off. For example, Chen Ke wanted the whole world to acknowledge his status.

“I’ve heard Xiao Yang mention you before. He said that you’re already a leader at such a young age. Initially, I was still doubtful, but now that I’ve seen you, I can’t help but exclaim at how much of a heroine you are. The younger always outshines the older,” Chen Ke said pompously.

“You flatter me.” Lu Manman smiled and got the attendant to serve the alcohol.

The alcohol was the most famous Golden Phoenix Wine in Northern Xia. Each bottle cost more than a thousand yuan. Although it was not as good as the red wine of some famous foreign brands, it was traditionally used to entertain guests.

Chen Ke looked at the alcohol and could not help but feel smug.

Everyone ate amiably at the dining table, and they even drank their fill of alcohol.

Lu Manman did not have a good tolerance for alcohol. Even though Yang Can and a few other colleagues had helped her out a lot, they were still unable to hold out against Chen Ke’s continuous attempts to get her to drink. She tolerated the discomfort in her stomach, and while everyone was enjoying themselves, she lost control of her tempo due to the alcohol. Lu Manman said, “Director Chen, you know that something has happened to the Lu Firm in your industrial park recently.”
