Right path to power

"Need not?"

"right!"

Lin Xiao smiled and continued, "Didn't this General Manager Qiu say that even if Director Jiang were standing in front of him right now, he wouldn't give him a second glance? Well, I'd like to see if he's really that arrogant."

"oh......"

At that moment, Xia Shengwen also saw a group of people walking over in the corridor.

"snort......"

A loud, cold snort came from behind Fatty Qiu and Section Chief Shi.

The person who came was Jiang Yuanping, the director of the Provincial Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He walked quickly towards us with a gloomy face and a furrowed brow. Beside him was Geng Qiuyan, the director of the Planning Department of the Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and behind him were Fang Jianyu, the general manager of Fengdu Dejiyuan Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., and Guan Tong, the director of the Investment Office.

In addition, there were three other men and three other women.

"Who the hell is squealing like a pig behind us?"

Fatty Qiu remained extremely arrogant, cursing as he turned away angrily.

The next second, Jiang Yuanping's dark cloud filled his entire field of vision. He froze, hesitated for a few seconds, then blinked hard. His face darkened, and his incredulous expression looked rather strange.

"Director Jiang... Director Jiang..."

At this moment, Fatty Qiu's eyes were wide open and filled with terror, and his body seemed to sway slightly.

"Who is it?"

As Section Chief Shi asked in confusion, he turned his head to look and was immediately startled, his face turning as pale as snow in an instant.

"Director Jiang, you... what are you doing...?"

Seeing the strange behavior of the two people, Zhong Xue turned around in surprise to look at the group of people who had come over.

Guan Tong walked briskly up to Lin Xiao with a smile and said softly, "Director Lin, what are you up to?"

"I'm wondering the same thing, Director Guan," Lin Xiao said with a wry smile. "This is the first time I've encountered such a coincidence. Those two were so arrogant just now, it's a pity you missed their brilliant remarks."

Lin Xiao stepped forward and greeted Jiang Yuanping: "Director Jiang, hello. I didn't expect to run into you here by such a coincidence."

"Hello, Kobayashi."

Jiang Yuanping's expression suddenly brightened, and he smiled and shook hands with Lin Xiao.

"Section Chief Xia, you're here too." Jiang Yuanping greeted Xia Shengwen first.

"Hello, Director Jiang."

Finally, Jiang Yuanping and Shi Jiajian nodded to each other.

Immediately afterwards, he coldly swept his gaze over the trembling General Manager Qiu and Section Chief Shi, and asked in a deep voice, "Who are these two? I am Jiang Yuanping."

Fatty Qiu trembled and instinctively looked at Lin Xiao with pleading eyes, while Section Chief Shi was covered in sweat, his face was pale, and his lips were trembling. He was probably begging for mercy, but his mind seemed to be blank and he couldn't say a word.

"Director Jiang, this is Section Chief Shi from the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and this is General Manager Qiu from Fengdu Zhengyuan Pharmaceutical."

"Oh," Jiang Yuanping replied indifferently.

"This is my classmate Zhong Xue. She works at Zhengyuan Pharmaceutical. You see, she's already drunk. But Section Chief Shi and General Manager Qiu are so enthusiastic. They even tried to drag Zhong Xue out for drinks and brought up some kind of contract. I don't know what they're trying to do."

I happened to run into Section Chief Xia and Director Shi, and I said something fair, and then they... Director Jiang, Zhong Xue is my classmate, I can't just leave her like this."

Jiang Yuanping nodded, but didn't react much.

At this point, Lin Xiao continued, "Actually, it's nothing much. It's an entertainment venue, after all. As long as you're having fun, that's all that matters. But as they talked, they got arrogant, saying that even if you came right in front of them, they wouldn't take you seriously. Do you think that's reasonable?"

As Lin Xiao casually introduced the situation, General Manager Qiu and Section Chief Shi trembled and broke out in a cold sweat.

This is going to be the death of them!

Who is Jiang Yuanping? He is the director of the Provincial Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine. One of them works at the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the other works at a Chinese medicinal materials company. This is inextricably linked to the Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

It's easy to imagine that if Jiang Yuanping were to target them, the two of them would likely face dire consequences.

"Director Jiang, it's not like that, it's all a misunderstanding, I... we were just joking, I..."

"Are you kidding me?" Lin Xiao retorted.

"It's...it's a joke, Director Jiang."

"Yes, yes, Director Jiang, Director Lin is Zhong Xue's classmate. We were just joking, we really didn't mean anything by it."

"Director Lin, no, Brother Lin, Xiao Zhong is doing very well at the company. She is an outstanding employee, and the whole company recognizes her. I personally admire her very much. Well, I just happened to run into you, my old classmate, no, my old class monitor, so I couldn't help but make a joke. Please don't take it to heart. We're all on the same side."

"That's right, Director Lin, you're so magnanimous, please don't hold it against us. I apologize to you."

......

The two continued their back-and-forth singing, not even giving anyone a chance to interrupt. To be honest, it's a huge loss to the performing arts world that they no longer perform double acts.

Seeing that no one reacted, Fatty Qiu pleaded with Zhong Xue for help: "Little Zhong, say something!"

Watching the two clownish performances, Lin Xiao just silently sneered. It was too late for them to be afraid now.

It's never too late to mend the fence after the sheep are lost, but if you wait until the sheep are on their last legs before trying to fix it, it will probably be too late.

Of course, Lin Xiao herself did not expect to run into Jiang Yuanping here. He must have been treated to dinner by Fang Jianyu and then came here to relax.

And that's exactly what happened. As the saying goes, too many coincidences mean it was destined by fate!

These two are doomed.

Zhong Xue took a deep breath to clear her head. A resolute glint flashed in her eyes. She walked along the wall to Lin Xiao's side and said indignantly, "Stop pretending! Can't people see through your act? Where did your arrogant attitude go? Lin Xiao merely greeted me and invited me to sit down, and you all launched into a tirade of sarcasm. He mentioned knowing Director Guo of the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and you immediately brought up the leaders of the State Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine. You've dug your own grave. And what's so admirable about me? You just want to use me..."

Her tone was urgent, as if she were firing a machine gun, unleashing a barrage of attacks on the two of them. Zhong Xue was clearly taking this opportunity to vent all the grievances and resentment in her heart.

Therefore, she let out a long breath after she finished speaking.

"Hey Qiu, I'm quitting. Do whatever you want with the contract."

In short, Zhong Xue was going all out.

Seeing this, Fatty Qiu's face darkened again, and he tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Xiao Zhong, you've had too much to drink. If there's anything you need to talk about, let's sit down and have a proper discussion tomorrow."

Fatty Qiu knew very well that it wasn't that Zhong Xue was particularly capable in her work, but rather that bosses and leaders simply enjoyed drinking and chatting with attractive women. Therefore, he always liked to bring Zhong Xue along to any dinner or drinking party, which significantly increased the chances of securing a contract.

"What? You two, are you trying to intimidate us? Otherwise, what are you doing blocking our way here? Hurry up and..."

At this moment, Geng Qiuyan, who was standing in the back row, also stepped forward and mocked.

"Director Geng, I...I'm truly innocent, you..."

Fatty Qiu looked as if he had lost his parents, pleading with them. He had dealt with Geng Qiuyan before and knew that this woman had influence with Jiang Yuanping, so he wondered if he could try to get in touch with her.

But he clearly overestimated his strength. Sure enough, Geng Qiuyan smiled coldly and turned her head to the side.

"What? Are you really planning to stay here and leave a lasting impression on us?" Guan Tong said with a smile.

"No, no, we...we'll leave now."

"Director Jiang, I'm so sorry, it was a misunderstanding today. I'll come to explain another day."

"Xiao Zhong, you should catch up with your class monitor later. We can talk about work on Monday. Remember, no more drinking."

Fatty Qiu bowed deeply and quickly pulled Section Chief Shi away. In his opinion, this matter was not without hope. Everything boils down to "profit." He could give Zhong Xue a big red envelope, raise her salary, and ask her to say a few good words to Lin Xiao. This matter would definitely be over.

After all, these are all things that happen at drinking parties.
