Chapter 283: Chapter 283: I’ll Drink For Her Chapter 283: Chapter 283: I’ll Drink For Her “Hello, this is Mr. Jiang Shaoqing wishing the Bai Family’s spicy hot pot restaurant a great opening. President Jiang has reserved ten tables for ten people each for tonight at eight o’clock. Do we need to pay a deposit?” the man with glasses who had been leading finally reminded Bai Xiao of soone. This wasn’t that assistant, the one who drove her ho.
Wang Yan stood there, dumbfounded. Ten tables?
What does ten tables and ten people an?
Bai Yue pushed Wang Yan. “Oh, no deposit is required. We’ll have everything ready, waiting for President Jiang’s arrival.” Naturally, her man had to cover all bases at this mont.
The assistant glanced at Bai Xiao and ca forward with enthusiasm, “Doctor Bai, President Jiang heard that Doctor Bai’s family was opening a shop, so he specifically sent to offer congratulations. I hope Doctor Bai doesn’t mind.” Not only was his attitude easy-going, but he was also very respectful.
Bai Xiao smiled, “With President Jiang being so thoughtful, how could I mind? Please thank him on my behalf and tell him I will definitely express my gratitude in person when I have the ti.” With soone being so considerate, it would be strange if she minded.
“Okay, I will definitely relay your ssage.”
The assistant turned around to busy himself with moving all the plants in. After tidying everything up, he left with a smile.
In a low voice, Bai Yue asked Bai Xiao, “Who is this President Jiang? Why is he so generous? These plants must have cost a fortune!” Her experience was limited! But she had been running around decorating recently and had seen various markets. She didn’t know the exact price of these plants, but she knew that even a cheap Clivia could cost three to five hundred, and the expensive ones could go as high as tens of thousands. She had seen several pots of Clivia just now.
This gesture was overly generous; she was sowhat afraid that this person might have so malicious intent.
Bai Xiao took Bai Yue and Wang Yan inside, “Don’t worry! Big sister! This President Jiang is the grandson of the old man I saved before the new year. He’s just showing his gratitude; there won’t be any harm, you can rest assured and accept it!” Since they had already been sent, there was no use in saying anything else.
If Jiang Shaoqing wanted to establish a good relationship with her, it was actually more than welco since she needed soone to deal with that person in the future. Jiang Shaoqing was the perfect choice.
Bai Yue finally felt relieved.
She hurried to greet the guests.
By twelve thirty, An Zhiyuan indeed arrived with twenty people, all striding in majestically! You could tell they were together from their casual clothing, not wanting to be misunderstood, but their upright postures gave away their extraordinary origins just through the way they walked and sat.
Bai Yue quickly went to serve them, prompting An Zhiyuan and his group to sit down. There were ten tables in the lobby on the first floor, and there were only two tables of guests earlier! Now, with their addition, the place finally didn’t seem so empty. She didn’t initially want to arrange it so extensively, considering there was also a second floor.
This was indeed too much.
But Bai Xiao insisted, saying that since they were organizing it once, they should do it well to avoid having to redo the decorations later. Bai Yue looked at the nearly empty first floor, with the second floor practically being just for show, and she really worried.
She handed An Zhiyuan the nu, “Xiao An, thank you truly for your support today!” She could have never imagined her brother-in-law being so thoughtful. She was already very satisfied with An Zhiyuan, but now she was even more pleased; he was really adept at handling relationships and matters.
Smiling, An Zhiyuan passed the nu to a few people next to him, “Big sister, why be so formal? We are family after all. These friends of mine heard that my wife’s big sister is opening a shop, so of course, they ca to support. Right, guys?”
The group laughed, “Yes, big sister, don’t be polite with us. Just serve us whatever good items you have. We aren’t picky eaters; all of us are at-lovers, and we don’t mind vegetarian dishes either.” They were all individuals on the sa level as An Zhiyuan, and he had really splurged on the invitation today.
Bai Yue nodded, “Okay then, I’ll take the liberty of choosing the nu for you. But speaking of preferences! Are there any among you who don’t eat spicy food? If there are, I’ll get you a ‘Yuan Yang’ (mixed) hot pot.” Considering taste preferences was definitely important.
“I don’t eat spicy!”
Indeed, there were two or three who didn’t eat spicy, so Bai Yue cheerfully went to prepare their nus and soup bases.
Bai Xiao brought over four bottles of Maotai and placed two on the table.
An Zhiyuan stood up to take the Maotai from Bai Xiao’s hands and whispered, “Co et my friends! They are all good people, just a bit outspoken and careless, but they an no harm. Please don’t take it to heart!” He wanted to introduce his fiancée to everyone.
Bai Xiao nodded generously. She and An Zhiyuan were destined to be husband and wife for life, and she would inevitably interact with An Zhiyuan’s friends and colleagues in the future, so today was a start.
Approaching two tables, she grabbed a glass, poured a full cup, and raised it, “Hello everyone, I am Bai Xiao, An Zhiyuan’s fiancée. Thank you all for coming today, I won’t say much. Since you all are straightforward people, I won’t beat around the bush. Here’s a toast to everyone,” and she downed it in one go.
Everyone clapped and cheered.
Sitting next to An Zhiyuan, a man with a square face slapped An Zhiyuan’s shoulder hard, “You, my boy, are lucky! Your fiancée is incredible, making us all envious. Where would we even find soone like her! She has set a standard so high for our wives, they’ve been left in the dust. Hey, shouldn’t we have An teach us a lesson by drinking three cups for keeping such a wonderful woman hidden from us?”
Everyone imdiately started making a racket.
“Yes, three cups, three cups!”
An Zhiyuan glanced sideways at this troublemaker, Xue Licheng, who was always stirring things up.
He poured three cups of alcohol and drank them one after the other.
Bai Xiao was a bit worried; one shouldn’t drink alcohol on an empty stomach.
On the other side, Bai Yue had already noticed and hurriedly asked Wang Yan to bring over peanuts and pickles.
Xue Licheng wasn’t ready to stop. Seeing such an exceptional future wife, not only beautiful but also naturally wife-material, he thought about his own tough wife and decided to seize the opportunity to stir up so fun.
Others liked this kind of excitent. After all, they were all together, and after such intensive training, any opportunity for fun was rare and they were all eager to join in.
“Comrades, An the instructor drank three cups! This comrade Bai Xiao is An’s future wife and it’s the first ti we et her! Shouldn’t she also drink three cups? Let’s all raise our glasses; we can’t bully a female comrade. Everyone should drink six cups with comrade Bai Xiao, right?” Xue Licheng was really up to no good.
Bai Xiao laughed. These n really knew how to be bold, even their bullying had to be open and above board, exchanging her three cups for their six.
Unfortunately, her tolerance was limited to about 100ml of alcohol, beyond which she would really get drunk.
She was about to say sothing difficult when several n rapidly downed their six cups.
Now, she was in a tricky situation.
Bai Xiao had to muster her courage and pick up the glass, ready to face whatever cos.
However, An Zhiyuan grabbed her hand, took the glass from her, and drank it in one gulp, “I’ll drink for her. She is just a girl with a weak tolerance for alcohol. We are all grown n here; we can’t be so harsh on a girl!” He then quickly drank the remaining two cups.
Everyone cheered at once, especially since everyone knew that Instructor An really cherished his fiancée.
Bai Xiao smiled warmly at An Zhiyuan and went to help them serve dishes.
