Reborn Aristocrat: Oppressing

Lu Manman had already gotten up from her seat and was walking toward the door.
“Hello, Director Chen.
I’m Lu Manman.”

“Hello, Director Lu.” Chen Ke smiled, and they shook hands.

Lu Manman got Chen Ke to sit down.

The huge room and huge dining table were filled with delicacies.
Chen Ke sat beside Lu Manman and asked, “What’s the theme today? It’s so extravagant.”

“What theme could there be? It’s just a meal, so we can get to know each other.
Director Chen, you should know that I just joined the company, so of course I have to get to know the big companies in Wen City and expand my network.” Lu Manman’s words sounded normal, but they were full of flattery.

Chen Ke felt good hearing that.
He was afraid of being looked down on.
He had been a boss once, and now that he was an official under someone else, he felt a little disappointed.
Many people were like that.
The less valuable something was, the more he liked to show it off.
For example, Chen Ke wanted the whole world to acknowledge his status.

“I’ve heard Xiao Yang mention you before.
He said that you’re already a leader at such a young age.
Initially, I was still doubtful, but now that I’ve seen you, I can’t help but exclaim at how much of a heroine you are.
The younger always outshines the older,” Chen Ke said pompously.

“You flatter me.” Lu Manman smiled and got the attendant to serve the alcohol.

The alcohol was the most famous Golden Phoenix Wine in Northern Xia.
Each bottle cost more than a thousand yuan.
Although it was not as good as the red wine of some famous foreign brands, it was traditionally used to entertain guests.

Chen Ke looked at the alcohol and could not help but feel smug.

Everyone ate amiably at the dining table, and they even drank their fill of alcohol.

Lu Manman did not have a good tolerance for alcohol.
Even though Yang Can and a few other colleagues had helped her out a lot, they were still unable to hold out against Chen Ke’s continuous attempts to get her to drink.
She tolerated the discomfort in her stomach, and while everyone was enjoying themselves, she lost control of her tempo due to the alcohol.
Lu Manman said, “Director Chen, you know that something has happened to the Lu Firm in your industrial park recently.”
