If he offended Zhou Wang again, then he really had no hope left.
But at this moment, Chen He truly didn’t know what he could use to impress Zhou Wang...
After much scheming, he finally got into this party through Ji Xiaoxi and got the opportunity to meet Mr. Ma and the higher-ups at Wuyou Media. Surely he couldn’t let this trip go to waste?
With a heavy heart, as Chen He just followed Zhou Wang back to the side hall, he heard Endme’s playful complaint:
"You two, you dodged another drink... No wait, Chen He, you dodged a cola, drink up, drink up!"
Chen He looked up to see Endme’s blushing, youthful face and slightly hazy eyes. She was clearly a bit tipsy.
In fact, it wasn’t just Endme; Hua Suisui and Shi Yi were also not in great shape. Besides Chen He, who had been drinking cola, only Lin Ran could barely keep calm enough to contend with Zhou Wang.
At this moment, the table was filled with emptied bottles of Roosevelt No. 10; almost twenty bottles had already been consumed.
With an alcohol content of 11.3%, Roosevelt No. 10 wasn’t considered mild even among craft beers. Everyone also had champagne as a base. If the girls didn’t naturally have a bit of tolerance, they might have already passed out from the drinking earlier...
Chen He, who had just sat back down, initially wanted to persuade Endme not to drink anymore. When he turned and saw Endme tugging on Zhou Wang’s arm, urging him to drink what he owed, his heart skipped a beat.
Since they met, Chen He had been intermittently pursuing Endme for more than two years, although they hadn’t been together for even half a year. But Chen He knew Endme all too well.
Due to her upbringing, coupled with a rather severe obsession with cleanliness, Endme actually didn’t like physical contact with others, especially not with boys who were generally not very clean...
The senior she had a crush on during university wasn’t particularly handsome but simply looked clean. That alone won Endme’s vague affection.
Before every date with Endme, Chen He had to take a shower and spray on some cologne. Otherwise, he’d face Endme’s fierce disdain...
Even so, whenever he held Endme’s hand, as soon as he started to sweat, Endme would immediately get displeased.
After three months together, he finally managed to kiss... Endme’s cheek, but it was only a brush of lips. To this day, he still didn’t know what Endme’s lips tasted like...
Someone with a cleanliness obsession couldn’t possibly accept someone else’s saliva.
It was tough for him.
That’s also why, the other day in the private room, when he saw Endme intimately embracing Zhou Wang, he got so worked up.
And now, once again, he saw Endme initiating physical contact with Zhou Wang. Although it wasn’t any particularly intimate gesture, it still made him slightly jealous and uncomfortable...
He was about to subtly remind his girlfriend, but then he saw Zhou Wang’s cheerful demeanor and swallowed his words back down.
An odd thought sprouted in his mind.
He surely couldn’t impress Zhou Wang, but what if it was Ji Xiaoxi?
Being a man himself, he could certainly sense that Zhou Wang liked Endme. Not specifying which kind of like, but surely more than just goodwill...
Thump, thump, thump!
This thought slightly bruised his ego, but the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, and his heart couldn’t help but pound faster.
Giving it a try wouldn’t cost him anything, anyway. Given Xiaoxi’s nature, it’s unlikely that anything would really happen with Zhou Wang.
Chen He swallowed his saliva. Logic told him this was too far-fetched, yet at the tip of his tongue came,"Xiaoxi, let me pour you some wine. Want some ice?"
"Yes~"
Almost never truly drunk before, Endme was now enjoying the lightweight feeling brought on by the alcohol. She leaned her head, lazily pushing her glass toward Chen He.
"Mr. Zhou, isn’t it getting late? Shouldn’t we be heading out..."
Lin Ran, maintaining some sobriety, saw the girls swaying left and right and felt a bit hesitant.
"No way, the drinks aren’t finished yet. Let’s see who dares to leave!"
"Exactly, exactly, we’re partying until dawn..."
"Sister Ran, I still want to drink..."
Zhou Wang hadn’t even spoken, yet the girls had already voiced their desires.
Chen He quickly chimed in with a laugh, "It’s a rare occasion for everyone to gather, let’s play a bit longer."
"But Mr. Zhou, if it gets any later, I’m worried there won’t be any company cars left to take us home. I’ve noticed that some people have already started leaving..."
Lin Ran expressed her concern.
"No worries. If it comes to that, you can sleep here; there are enough guest rooms."
Zhou Wang replied with a smile.
Seeing no other way, Lin Ran had to nod. This moment was different from before. Judging by how Hua Suisui practically clung to Zhou Wang the entire time, Lin Ran didn’t actually have any reason to stop anything...
Of course, looking from an observer’s perspective, she could see quite clearly that it was unlikely Zhou Wang would marry Hua Suisui.
Let’s just hope that afterward, Zhou Wang would truly treat her well...
After playing a few more rounds of drinking games, even Zhou Wang began to feel a bit groggy. He patted his full stomach, got up, "You guys keep drinking, I’m going to the restroom."
After Zhou Wang left, Chen He finally seized his chance and quickly said to the confused Endme beside him, "Xiaoxi, do you want to go to the bathroom?"
"Mmm..."
Ji Xiaoxi nodded subconsciously.
"In that case, I’ll go with you."
Chen He proposed while helping Endme up, following in the direction Zhou Wang had disappeared.
