Chapter 154: 154 Well done
At seven o’clock in the evening, Director Tang’s birthday party was set in the hotel’s Hidden Dragon Banquet Hall, with the main creative team arranged at one table. However, unlike before, the National Couple’s seating arrangement was completely dismantled. Previously, Gu Chengyu and Chen Beini had been inseparably close wherever they went, but now Chen Beini’s seat was moved to the left of Shi Lan.
There was an empty seat to the right of Shi Lan, and everyone tacitly knew to whom it belonged.
At a quarter past seven, Director Tang entered the banquet hall with his assistant and several deputy directors. After taking his seat, he pointed to the empty seat next to Shi Lan and asked, “An Lan, did Yan Shixiu say when he might arrive?”
Everyone at the table looked at Shi Lan because up to that point, they all took for granted the close personal relationship between Shi Lan and Yan Shixiu.
Although, in private, it was indeed some kind of indescribable relationship…
At this moment, Gu Chengyu felt extremely uncomfortable and deliberately said, “As the president of Huahai, Yan Shixiu must be incredibly busy. How could An Lan know his itinerary?”
The whole sentence was dripping with sourness, and it was clear that Gu Chengyu wanted to distance Shi Lan from Yan Shixiu, however…
Shi Lan simply explained slowly to Director Tang, “Yan Shixiu said he would try his best. If he can’t make it, he instructed me to toast you on his behalf.”
After hearing Shi Lan’s words, Chen Beini whispered in Shi Lan’s ear, “Well done.”
“I can do this for you, your alcohol tolerance isn’t good.”
Upon hearing this, anyone could tell that Gu Chengyu was making a deliberate show of his relationship with Shi Lan, even in front of Chen Beini. The others couldn’t interject and could only silently watch the drama unfold. Gu Chengyu seemed to have taken the dominant position, and anyone else wouldn’t know how to refuse.
But Shi Lan simply smiled faintly and continued looking up, “There’s no need. If all relationships were the same, why didn’t Yan Shixiu just ask you to fill in?”
The outcome was clear just by looking at Gu Chengyu’s expression after Shi Lan’s comment landed.
Chen Beini tilted her head and gave Shi Lan a thumbs up.
“Isn’t it my birthday tonight? Why the drawn swords and ready bows?” Director Tang, having watched the show, finally came out to make peace, “And Chengyu, you’re underestimating An Lan here, her alcohol tolerance is quite good.”
“Good? When we’ve drunk together before, she was out after three cups.”
Shi Lan smiled and said nothing.
Not wanting to dwell on him any longer, Director Tang changed the subject and addressed everyone, “Today is my birthday, and I’m grateful you all are here to spend it. Let’s eat well and drink well tonight. There’s also a KTV next door; we can go sing later on. But there’s one rule: it must not interfere with work tomorrow.”
“We know, Director Tang,” everyone answered together.
Soon after, Shi Lan had Sun Ling and Chen Beini’s assistants bring up the cake, and everyone joined Director Tang in singing and making a wish, after which Director Tang let everyone enjoy themselves.
Seeing the space next to Shi Lan vacant, Gu Chengyu guessed Yan Shixiu wouldn’t show up, so he grabbed a tall glass and took Yan Shixiu’s place, leaning over to Shi Lan and asking, “Didn’t we agree this afternoon? Shall we drink?”
Shi Lan, already annoyed at seeing the spot next to her taken by the annoying man, was about to speak but was intercepted by Chen Beini, who stood up.

“You know she gets drunk after three cups and you still come to ask to drink, what are you plotting?”
“If I’m not mistaken, we have no relationship anymore. This is between her and me; you don’t need to join in on this,” Gu Chengyu answered coldly.
If Chen Beini wasn’t separated from him by Shi Lan, she would have splashed the wine in the bastard’s face already.
Shi Lan felt Chen Beini’s protection and tugged gently at her, incredibly calm, “A drinking match, is it? Fine. If you can outdrink me, I’ll consider our past issues resolved.”
