The moment Miss Xia parked her car and walked in with Lin Nuan, a waitress donning a cheongsam brought them through the long corridor filled with carvings and paintings to the Huxin Gazebo that stood in the center of the pond . A Linxiao Pavilion plaque hung at the front .
From the table, it was evident that not all dishes had been served . Eight or nine people were casually lounging there but the sponsors and the vice president of the broadcasting company had yet to arrive . Once they saw Miss Xia walking over, they all stood up to greet her .
What surprised Lin Nuan was seeing Bai Xiaonian at the table .
Bai Xiaonian saw her and informed the person beside her before she picked up her bag and stood up, walking towards her and Miss Xia .
After greeting Miss Xia with a nod of her head, Bai Xiaonian grabbed Lin Nuan's arm and said, “Accompany me to the bathroom!”
Dragging Lin Nuan to a corner, Bai Xiaonian spoke up with furrowed brows, “I heard that this time the sponsor asked specifically for you to come . This doesn't seem appropriate…”
Bai Xiaonian took out a piece of yam shortcake from her bag and passed it to Lin Nuan, saying, “Eat a bite or two now… When it's almost time to drink later it should start working up . When that happens, regardless of whether or not that sponsor tries to get you drunk, you just drink a few sips and I'll take you away! As long as the higher-ups believe that you're allergic to alcohol, you can completely avoid coming to these kinds of meet-ups in the future . ”
Knowing that Bai Xiaonian came for her, Lin Nuan's heart felt warm .
Lin Nuan took the yam shortcake and took a bite, chewing slightly before swallowing .
When Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian returned to the table, the vice president and the sponsor had arrived .
Once he saw Lin Nuan return, the large-sized vice president immediately stood up and gestured for Lin Nuan to go over .
“Lin Nuan, come here and give President Tang a toast . Your morning news department's greatest sponsor is President Tang . You can say that without him there would be no morning news department!”
A man in a suit sat beside the vice president . Holding an unlit cigarette between his fingers, he looked towards Lin Nuan .
The noon sunlight was piercingly bright and reflected off the surface of the pond water to outline his strong facial features . The light seemed to go through his flawlessly fair and porcelain skin, looking tight and poreless . His long narrow eyes were black and tilted up at the end, looking as though he was smiling . He had a sharp nose and thin lips that were pursed tightly but curved up at a corner, giving him an unrestrained vibe .
Next to President Tang was an empty seat; anyone could tell that it was meant to be Lin Nuan's seat .
Bai Xiaonian squeezed Lin Nuan's hand and smiled at the vice president and President Tang before finding an empty seat to sit on .
Lin Nuan knew what she had to do and did not flinch; she walked towards the vice president .
It was Tang Zheng's first time seeing Lin Nuan . Different from when she was on screen, when Lin Nuan and Bai Xiaonian walked towards the gazebo, that delicately crafted face shone from the light . In his daze it felt like she was an angel, making Tang Zheng's heart skip a beat .
He mused internally that no wonder Old Fu liked her .
“Lin Nuan…” The vice president passed Lin Nuan a cup of wine and hurriedly pushed her towards Tang Zheng . “President Tang said that he provided such a huge sponsorship this time because of you . ”
That sounded too intimate and Lin Nuan tightened her grip on the cup .
“President Tang, a toast to you . ” Lin Nuan's voice remained neutral while her eyes showed her stubborn resistance .
The spicy strong alcohol entered her mouth and trickled down her gullet; her forehead faintly started perspiring .
Lin Nuan was not like other people who gave friendly smiles the moment they saw the sponsor's handsome and elegant figure .
In Lin Nuan's eyes, no matter how well-dressed Mr . Tang was, he was still a fake gentleman who forced others to accompany him to meals and drinks… And even to bed .
