Chapter 37 Qin Sijue's Call

Editor: Atlas Studios

But what if he was just going to the bathroom? After thinking it over, she abandoned the thought.

It wasn't long before she saw Manager Huang return to the private room.

Before he even sat down, Gu Qiangwei distinctly felt her phone vibrating in the palm of her hand.

Qiao Muxue?

"Hello——"

"Gu Qiangwei! Do you not want to work anymore!?"

Just as she put the phone to her ear, Qiao Muxue's roaring voice burst through, piercing her eardrums! Gu Qiangwei hurriedly moved the phone a little further away.

"Director Qiao, may I ask what I did wrong?"

"Manager Huang wants you to drink with him, why won't you!?"

"I came here to do translation, not to drink with him!"

"Gu Qiangwei, don't forget you're still on your probationary period, I have the right to kick you out if you don't follow your superior's orders!"

Go to hell!

Gu Qiangwei roared inwardly, would she willingly endure Qiao Muxue's demands if she wasn't trying to pass the probationary period?

"I don't want to hear Manager Huang call again, saying that our people at Starlight Entertainment lack human warmth! If there's a next time, don't bother coming to the office tomorrow!"

'Snap!'

With that, Qiao Muxue had angrily hung up!

Looking at the disconnected call, Gu Qiangwei took a deep breath, suppressing all the anger in her heart, and turned to look at Manager Huang.

Honestly, if it wasn't for keeping her job, who would want to drink with this old man!

One second she was frowning, and the next, Gu Qiangwei smiled charmingly, "Manager Huang, I'm really sorry about just now. This drink is to you!"

She took the initiative to pour a glass of whisky, just a small amount.

Manager Huang turned his head, glanced at the drink in her glass, and his expression finally softened.

"Cheers."

Cheers?

But this is whisky!

Damn it, her alcohol tolerance had never been good! But did she even have a second choice?

Reluctantly, Gu Qiangwei still downed the small amount of whisky in one gulp.

"Another one?"

Without waiting for Gu Qiangwei to reply, Manager Huang poured her another glass, this time clearly double the amount of the first one!

Looking at the whisky filling her glass by three-quarters, Gu Qiangwei knew very well that with her drinking capacity, she would definitely be drunk if she drank this one!

That won't do!

"Hehe... Manager Huang, my job is to assist you with translation, it wouldn't be good if I got drunk, right?"

"It doesn't matter, if Miss Gu really gets drunk, you can skip the translation work for tonight. Or is it that Miss Gu doesn't appreciate the gesture?" Holding the drink, Manager Huang waited for her to down the second glass.

Inside, Gu Qiangwei felt like ten thousand horses were running wild in her chest!

What if Manager Huang calls Qiao Muxue again, then she might really not need to go to Starlight for work tomorrow!

With that in mind, Gu Qiangwei had no choice but to take the drink.

Right then, she could feel the effects of the alcohol kicking in, her cheeks noticeably heating up.

If she drank this one, she would truly be drunk!

"I'll drink first as a mark of respect."

As he said this, Manager Huang had already downed his glass.

Gu Qiangwei's mouth twitched a few times, hesitating on how to refuse this drink.

Just as she was thinking, her phone suddenly rang again.

It was a string of unfamiliar numbers.

Turning her head, she smiled at Manager Huang, "I need to take this call."

Then she stood up and walked to the corridor outside the private room to answer the phone.

"Hello?"

Soon a deep, magnetic voice came through from the other end, "Where are you?"

The familiar voice made Gu Qiangwei pause for a second.

Then she replied, "I... am at Zuixian Residence."

Upon hearing this, Qin Sijue's handsome eyebrows tightened slightly, "Doing what?"
