65: Chapter 65 I can forgive you, but you have to come home with me.

Inside the hotel private room, there was silence. The atmosphere was a bit awkward.

The thirty-some colleagues, men and women alike, were all silently looking down at their phones.

Every now and then, they would look up at Qin Xun, who looked as if nothing had happened, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Suddenly, the door opened! Everyone quickly looked up and saw Cheng Wan and Xia Ning walk in.

President Niu had not been persuaded to return. Cheng Wan looked at everyone and said with a smile,

"President Niu was afraid that if she stayed, we wouldn't be able to have a good time, so she went home first."

The colleagues: "..." Heh—heh—that story would only fool a child. It was obvious she had been beaten away by Qin Xun, right?

Cheng Wan continued, "President Niu said, the celebration banquet continues!"

Everyone was stunned and turned to look at Qin Xun one after another.

Cheng Wan raised her voice and said loudly with a smile, "President Niu also said that the 10% equity stake will still be given to Qin Xun."

"And to prove that this isn't just a pie in the sky, President Niu has decided to sign the contract with Qin Xun this Friday."

After Cheng Wan finished speaking, the colleagues were dumbfounded, and their eyes changed as they looked at Qin Xun. They were impressed to the point of prostration.

Is this what they call talent defeating the capitalist? He had already crapped on President Niu's head, yet Qin Xun could still get 10% of the equity and become the company's second-in-command? This isn't a manager; this is a vice president!

Suddenly, someone clapped. Immediately, everyone realized and began to applaud. The sound of applause echoed in the private room, long and continuous.

Qin Xun was stunned for a moment, then he felt a bit of admiration for Niu Xiaojun. This little fatty really is a capitalist; for money, she can truly sell her soul, dignity, and even... her body?

I beat her up like that! She didn't fire me and still wants to keep me, her cash cow? This fatty is destined for big things! No wonder she has such a tough life!

Thinking of this, Qin Xun suddenly felt a lingering fear and thought, "I was too impulsive just now, too impulsive! There aren't many people left who are as tough as the little fatty and can handle me. The first time we met, she got scolded by me. The second time, she was limping. The third time, she got beaten by me again."

He nodded and made a decision! From now on, he must treat Niu Xiaojun like a protected animal and take good care of her; he couldn't let her get hurt again! If something happened to her, where else could he go to slack off in a company that wouldn't go bankrupt?

...The food was served! The drinks were served! The atmosphere of the celebration banquet was extremely lively.

The colleagues were not stupid. Seeing that Qin Xun had beaten the president up and still managed to get 10% of the equity, how could they not know his weight? They couldn't help but speculate about what kind of relationship the two of them actually had in private.

Besides, the person in charge right in front of you is more important than the one far away. President Niu didn't appear in the company often, but Qin Xun clocked in for work every day. If they didn't butter him up today, were they waiting to be given a hard time later?

Colleagues came over one by one to offer a toast. Qin Xun liked a little drink but didn't like to binge drink, so he originally wanted to decline. However, the colleagues were all extremely generous.

"Manager Qin, please drink as you like, I'll finish mine!" "Manager Qin, I'll be counting on you in the future, I'll finish mine!" "Manager Qin, if you need anything in the future, just give the order!" ... They drank as if their lives depended on it, some even downing two or three glasses in a row. Qin Xun had no choice but to drink sip by sip. Gradually, he had downed several glasses of baijiu. Half an hour later, he was drunk!

There was a KTV system in the private room. Cheng Wan was in charge of leading the atmosphere; she started by singing a song and then invited everyone to sing. The colleagues were all a bit dizzy from drinking, but they were all in high spirits and wanted to go up and show off their singing voices.

Xia Ning sat quietly at the table with a faint smile on her face, glancing at Qin Xun from time to time. Seeing him drunk, his eyes hazy, and his tongue thick as he cheered for others: "Good! Brother Wang, that was... good!" "Good! Sister Li, that was... good!" "Good! Brother Liu, that was... good!" ... He was like a broken repeater. How interesting!

Suddenly! Someone shouted loudly, "Manager Qin, give us a song!" Everyone egged him on and started shouting, "Manager Qin, give us a song!" "Manager Qin, give us a song!" "Manager Qin, give us a song!" ... Unable to refuse their enthusiasm, Qin Xun had to wobble to his feet.

Cheng Wan quickly grabbed the microphone, rushed over, and supported the unsteady Qin Xun. Qin Xun took the microphone and shouted loudly, "Time to sing a folk song!" Cheng Wan: "Great!" The colleagues followed along with cheers, applause, and clapping.

Xia Ning sat below, resting her chin on her right hand, looking forward to his performance. She had witnessed Qin Xun's singing skills before. Even now, she often thought of that song, "The World's Beauty Intertwines With You," but unfortunately, she couldn't sing it. She didn't feel comfortable asking again, afraid that Qin Xun might overthink it.

Qin Xun coughed twice and started singing a cappella. "Old driver, take me with you, I'm heading to Kunming!" "Old driver, take me with you, I'm going to the provincial capital." ... Xia Ning: "???" He was really drunk! ... After the song finished, the room went quiet.

Cheng Wan was all smiles, applauding and cheering against her better judgment. "Good!" Then, the colleagues followed with cheers, applause, and clapping. "Good, good, good!" "Great!"

Just as Qin Xun was about to put down the microphone and hide his merit and fame, he suddenly heard someone with a death wish shout, "One more!" The room went quiet for a moment, and they cast resentful glances at the person with the loose mouth.

"I'll satisfy you!" Qin Xun shouted with slurred speech, not being shy at all. He picked up the microphone and started singing again. "I'll give you a pair of floral shorts, the ones my wife wore..." Cheng Wan: "???" Xia Ning: "???" The colleagues: "???"

The male colleague who had shouted "One more" reached out and gently slapped himself in the face. Isn't this just asking for self-inflicted torture?

After Qin Xun finished singing this song, everyone gave a few half-hearted cheers, and no one was loose-lipped enough to shout "One more" again.

Qin Xun put down the microphone, walked over to an empty sofa, and sat down. The aftereffect of the alcohol kicked in, and his head felt increasingly dizzy.

Suddenly, he saw Xia Ning walking over with a full glass of red wine and sitting down beside him. Qin Xun waved his hand. "I really... can't drink anymore. Even you won't... let me off?"

But he heard Xia Ning say, "I'm sorry!" Xia Ning drank the whole glass of red wine in one gulp. Qin Xun was stunned. He knew she was apologizing for misunderstanding him as a beast that morning and pulling his hair.

He smiled, his tongue thick. "Little Xia, I am very... happy that you could... apologize to me. However, I don't like your ill-considered... way of doing things."

Seeing Xia Ning looking confused, he explained, "Let me teach you another... workplace rule. This bottle of red wine is... 1800 yuan a bottle, paid for by the company, not by... you. You drank such a big glass all by yourself, that's almost... over 400 yuan. What will others think of you?"

Xia Ning looked at the empty wine glass. How is this not money I spent?

Qin Xun looked at Xia Ning and said, "Little Xia, if you want me to forgive you... that's fine, but you have to do me... a favor!" Xia Ning: "Go ahead."

Qin Xun, drunk, narrowed his eyes and glanced vigilantly at the people around him, seeing that they weren't paying attention to this side. He leaned his mouth close to Xia Ning's ear. "Come home... with me!"

Xia Ning immediately widened her eyes, staring blankly at Qin Xun, her face chillingly cold. Qin Xun hurriedly covered his hair. "Don't pull my... hair. There's a... pervert in my rental place, come with me to catch him!"

Xia Ning: "???" Qin Xun gasped for breath. "I'm afraid... that if she's a woman, and I knock on her door, she might accuse me of... sexual harassment. It's better to bring a... woman along."

After saying that, he could no longer fight off the sleepiness. He turned around and fell asleep on the sofa. Xia Ning looked at Qin Xun, speechless for a long time. She felt a bit helpless. Had her mysterious appearances finally pushed Qin Xun too far? Is he trying to catch me while drunk? What should I do?
