Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 676: Why Don’t I Drink It for Her

In President Chen’s mind, the image of Liu Mengjie appeared, with a mischievous glint in his eyes. To him, Liu Mengjie was a gem, and tonight he would possess this gem.

"President Chen, didn’t you say she was a principal? Would she be just like us women and agree to accompany you, President Chen?" a flamboyant woman said. President Chen had been praising Liu Mengjie’s beauty, and she seemed a little jealous.

President Chen said, "What do you know? Is there a woman in this world that I can’t conquer? Besides, this time she’s the one who needs something from me."

Another woman, catching on, quickly said, "Oh, come on, with President Chen’s charm, what woman wouldn’t like him? Just because she’s a principal doesn’t mean she’s so aloof. Everyone has a price, and President Chen can afford it, right?"

President Chen chuckled, giving the woman a pat on the butt. "You know how to talk."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door from outside.

President Chen smiled happily and said, "They’re here. You two step out for now! Come in!"

The two flamboyant women reluctantly stood up and walked out. Dealing with a big boss like President Chen, who was quite lucrative, they were happy to accompany him and naturally didn’t want to leave. As long as they were paid, they would do anything; the more money, the more they were willing to do.

As they reached the door, it opened from the outside, and Liu Mengjie walked in.

Upon seeing Liu Mengjie, the two flamboyant women instantly lost their temper. Even if they were jealous, they couldn’t deny Liu Mengjie’s exceptional beauty. Her mature and intellectual beauty and sophisticated demeanor made the two flashy women seem utterly inferior in comparison.

Seeing Liu Mengjie, President Chen was delighted and laughed heartily, "Miss Liu, come in and have a seat. We’ve been waiting for you for a while."

Liu Mengjie glanced at the two flamboyant women and frowned. This President Chen was quite the philanderer, evidently married but still fooling around. But then she thought, it had nothing to do with her; she was just here to seek investment. President Chen was a big boss and had the intention to invest, so she had to make an effort tonight.

Liu Mengjie walked in.

"Come, Miss Liu, have a seat over here." President Chen smiled, patting the seat beside him.

Liu Mengjie walked over but chose not to sit beside President Chen. Instead, she sat on the sofa to the side, several meters away. She certainly wasn’t going to sit so close to President Chen.

President Chen smiled indifferently. After all, the night was long, and he had time to take it slowly.

President Chen poured Liu Mengjie a drink, saying, "Here, Miss Liu, have a drink with me. Let’s chat slowly. This wine is quite good, don’t be shy."

Liu Mengjie apologized, "Sorry, President Chen, I don’t drink. How about we discuss..."

President Chen insisted, "No worries. This wine is light and won’t get you drunk. This bottle cost thousands, have a taste."

Liu Mengjie wanted to decline.

President Chen said, "What, Miss Liu, not giving me face? We can discuss the investment later, but first, have this drink."

Liu Mengjie felt troubled. She really didn’t drink, but outright refusal seemed inappropriate, as it might be seen as disrespectful. Business discussions were not just about the business itself; building good relationships mattered more. When people were happy with drinks, talks flowed more smoothly, and business happened more naturally.

This is the so-called drinking culture. If you refuse a toast, it’s seen as disrespectful, and the counterpart would be unhappy. A refusal to drink is like saying no to face.

Many in sales and business, who originally couldn’t drink or had poor tolerance, have been forced to learn drinking. When they go on business discussions or attend dinners, the other party always encourages drinking. Not drinking isn’t an option, and to finalize business, they end up drinking, even at the risk of ruining their health.

Many dislike the drinking culture but can’t escape it because everyone is a participant. It’s vexing yet unavoidable in life.

With President Chen’s words, Liu Mengjie felt she couldn’t refuse anymore and reluctantly picked up the glass.

President Chen, seeing this, smiled contentedly. With a face full of confidence, he thought that dealing with this woman in front of him would be too easy.

The other party was seeking his investment, which gave him room to make demands. A woman, especially one who couldn’t handle alcohol, wouldn’t last long. A few drinks might be enough to knock her out.

Once she passed out, she would be at his mercy.

Thinking of this, President Chen was overjoyed.

Liu Mengjie, with a bitter smile, held the drink. She couldn’t not drink, so she reluctantly took a sip.

"Cough, cough..."

Liu Mengjie was choked by the strong alcohol and started to cough.

President Chen laughed heartily, like a cat watching a mouse under its paw. His prey was in place, and he could play slowly without rushing.

"No worries, Miss Liu, take your time. Once you finish this drink, we can talk properly. I have a lot of money and don’t know where to spend it. Your school needs funding, right? We can discuss it further," President Chen laughed.

She had to drink this glass. Liu Mengjie was struggling, but there was no way not to.

As she was troubled.

"How about I help her with it?"

A voice came, and Lin Fan walked in from outside. Without waiting for President Chen’s response, he took the glass from Liu Mengjie’s hand and drank it in one go.

"Ah, good wine, good wine." After finishing the drink, Lin Fan smacked his lips, savoring the taste. It was indeed a fine wine worth thousands, of course, not unpleasant.

A man suddenly appeared, which surprised President Chen. "And you are...?"

Lin Fan leaned over, extended his hand, and grasped President Chen’s hand with a cheerful smile, "Hello, President Chen, my surname is Lin. Just call me Little Lin. I’m Sister Mengjie’s assistant."

Lin Fan had prearranged with Liu Mengjie to accompany her for the business discussion with President Chen, posing as the principal’s assistant.

By drinking Liu Mengjie’s glass, Lin Fan disrupted President Chen’s plan, and President Chen was displeased. But as the saying goes, you can’t scold someone offering an apology, nor can you hit a smiling face. Lin Fan’s proactive enthusiasm and smiling demeanor left President Chen unable to be mad.

"Hehe," President Chen chuckled, "Miss Liu, I didn’t know you brought an assistant."

President Chen inwardly cursed, initially thinking Liu Mengjie had come alone, which made it easier for him to subdue her. With Lin Fan now on the scene, the situation became challenging.

Lin Fan’s presence, drinking on her behalf, gave Liu Mengjie a sigh of relief and a sense of peace. Having Lin Fan here was truly comforting.

"Sorry, President Chen. I didn’t mention it beforehand. I’m feeling under the weather tonight and can’t drive, so I had my assistant bring me here. He was parking earlier, so I came up first. I hope you don’t mind, President Chen?" Liu Mengjie said.

Though displeased, President Chen couldn’t openly express that. He chuckled, "Oh, not at all."

Lin Fan said, "Exactly, Sister Mengjie can’t drink, so I’ll accompany President Chen for a couple of drinks. Come, President Chen, let me fill it up and toast to you!"
