19.Old buddy Tang.

When Tang Song heard the name "Hengda Car Dealership," his heart skipped a beat.

Isn't this the Manager Li who claimed to be like brothers with him?

They could be considered acquaintances.

Just a few days ago, Manager Li had invited him to dinner through WeChat, but due to being busy with tasks, Tang Song hadn't agreed.

Today was a rare encounter, so why not go and offer a toast.

"Come on, glasses up!" Lu Zi Kuan held a bottle of red wine, pouring for everyone one by one.

Looking at Dong Yu Yan with a rosy face, Liu Tian Hao smiled triumphantly.

Power and influence were a man's best coat; someone like Tang Song, a young and inexperienced face, couldn't compare.

Displaying one's abilities and connections appropriately, there was no fear she wouldn't be intrigued.

Patting the wrinkles on his clothes, Liu Tian Hao took the lead out of the private room, instructing, "I'll go in first to greet them. When it's time to toast, you guys can come in."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Wang Yan Yan and Shen Li Chao competed to stand on either side of Liu Tian Hao.

Even Dong Yu Yan, who had a reserved temperament, took the initiative to move forward.

Tang Song, with a calm expression, stood at the end of the line, not taking it too seriously, appearing somewhat out of place.

However, due to his tall stature and striking appearance, he was still conspicuous.

Perhaps because he had pre-existing knowledge of Li Mingbo and had a pleasant conversation with him.

Tang Song didn't see these bosses as unapproachable figures, and there was hardly any urge to flatter them.

Perhaps this mindset was the confidence the system had bestowed upon him.

"Knock, knock, knock~"

Liu Tian Hao gently knocked on the door, standing respectfully at the entrance, slightly bowing.

Seeing this, the others also became nervous.

These successful individuals, their esteemed university classmates, were showing such humility in front of these big shots; what about them, mere ordinary people?

"Creak~"

The door opened slightly, revealing a young secretary-like person.

"Brother Chen, it's me, Xiao Hao!" Liu Tian Hao wore a flattering expression. "I just ran into General Bai in the restroom and learned that several bosses are having dinner inside. So, I brought some friends to offer a toast."

Brother Chen furrowed his brows and glanced over everyone, saying, "You've brought too many people. How about you bring one person inside."

Liu Tian Hao's expression remained unchanged. He had anticipated this situation; the reason for bringing everyone along was just to show off his connections. "Yu Yan, come in with me."

Wang Yan Yan and the others instantly looked disappointed. Perhaps in other situations, they might have argued, but in this context, they didn't dare to object.

Dong Yu Yan hesitated for a moment but nodded in agreement.

For her, it was also a rare opportunity, a chance to solve her current dilemma.

She currently worked at Huayu Logistics, with a generous salary, a standard nine-to-six schedule, and minimal overtime. The team atmosphere was also very good.

However, a supervisor in the sales department had been pestering her, sending flowers at work, inviting her to dinner after work, and frequently calling her at night.

Despite her repeated refusals, he showed no signs of restraint and even vaguely made some threatening remarks.

According to other colleagues, he had some shady connections in society, making it difficult for her to escape his harassment even if she resigned.

Dong Yu Yan liked her current job and lifestyle and didn't want it to be disrupted. She felt insecure.

Attending this gathering organized by Liu Tian Hao was a deliberate attempt to leverage his connections to address her current predicament.

Hengda Car Dealership was a significant client for their company, especially for the sales department.

If she could talk to General Li, maybe even take a photo with him, having this connection would likely discourage her harassing supervisor.

Inside the private room, smoke lingered as six middle-aged individuals gathered, drinking and chatting.

On the table were various high-quality liquors, including Maotai, Wuliangye, and some unidentified foreign spirits.

The two of them didn't dare to look around when they entered. Dong Yu Yan kept her head down, silently encouraging herself.

"Hello, General Bai. I've come to offer a toast to all the bosses." Liu Tian Hao lowered himself with a goofy smile.

The conversation naturally paused, and everyone glanced at the amiable Liu Tian Hao.

General Bai of Baolong Auto Trade, who appeared to be around 50 years old and a bit plump, spoke in a friendly tone, "Ah, Xiao Hao, meeting you here today must be fate. I heard Old Liu mentioning you recently, asking me to help you find a girlfriend. Have you found one?"

At this moment, Liu Tian Hao looked like a stunned greenhorn, smiling foolishly, "This is my university classmate, Dong Yu Yan. She's still in pursuit, but it's almost there, hehe."

Dong Yu Yan blushed suddenly, wanting to retort, but she couldn't bring herself to speak, afraid of saying the wrong thing and offending someone.

She was just an ordinary employee, albeit a bit more attractive. However, anyone here could easily overshadow her fate.

Liu Tian Hao raised a full glass of red wine, excitedly saying, "Today, I'm honored to meet you all, and I'd like to offer a toast to the elders. Cheers, I'll drink first, feel free!"

After finishing, he directly gulped down the wine.

"Young man, quite spirited. Keep up the good work," praised General Bai. With the other bosses, they lifted their glasses and took a sip, not paying much attention to this person whose name they couldn't recall.

Liu Tian Hao's face turned red, trembling with excitement. He gestured to Dong Yu Yan on his side.

Dong Yu Yan, with a braver heart, picked up her glass, saying, "I'll also toast to all the bosses."

Although her glass wasn't full, it was still more than half.

She could only force herself to gulp it all down.

Suddenly, a dizzy spell hit her, and her delicate body swayed.

Liu Tian Hao wanted to support her, but she skillfully avoided him.

Perhaps due to the stimulation of alcohol, Dong Yu Yan's courage grew.

Not knowing who General Li of Hengda Car Dealership was, she bowed and said, "I currently work at Huayu Logistics. General Li is our big client. I would like to offer you a separate toast!"

After saying this, she looked forward with a somewhat nervous expression.

Li Mingbo was puzzled for a moment but, being named for a toast, especially by a young girl, he responded politely, "No need for a toast, I appreciate the sentiment. You've already had a big glass; you might not be steady on your feet."

Dong Yu Yan, whether due to drinking or shyness, blushed like a rose and lost the courage she had just displayed. She weakly said, "Thank you. I won't drink anymore."

Liu Tian Hao, anxious to avoid any complications, quickly spoke up, "We won't disturb the bosses' business discussions any longer. We'll take our leave now."

Dong Yu Yan, her small mouth slightly open, seemed to want to say something.

Chen Ge at the door had already opened it, gesturing for them to leave.

Li Mingbo happened to be sitting across from the entrance. Watching the two leave, he noticed a familiar face.

Li Mingbo immediately stood up.

The various bosses at the table were somewhat surprised, looking toward the entrance.

Dong Yu Yan was also startled, thinking she might have angered someone, making her feel unsteady.

Just as Liu Tian Hao, who had just walked out, hurriedly stopped, bowing apologetically, "General Li, just now…"

But Li Mingbo had a warm smile on his face, approaching them enthusiastically, "Oh! Tang, my friend, you're here. Why didn't you say anything? Come in, come in, take a seat."
