CHAPTER 381: CHAPTER 233 GIVE ME A ROOM NUMBER

The dishes were served.

"Come, let’s have a bite first."

Luo Ziyang called out, picking up a piece of donkey meat and placing it in Chen Donghai’s bowl, "This donkey meat has to be stewed just right, fatty but not greasy, melts right in your mouth!"

At the moment, Chen Donghai’s stomach was churning, his mouth still had the lingering blood taste and the unique aroma of radix stellariae.

Seeing this, Xu Qiu first poured a cup of tea for Xu Donghai then respectfully called out "Mr. Chen", and nudged Li Na, who was beside him.

Li Na was quick-witted. She quickly raised her glass, "Mr. Luo, I also toast you three cups."

Luo Ziyang’s eyes brightened.

He looked at Li Na with interest, "Just toasting like this, I can’t drink it all."

Li Na stood up, holding her glass and said calmly:

"Mr. Luo, you just said there are three cups, each with a meaning, I also take the liberty of toasting you three cups."

Luo Ziyang laughed out loud, "Hahaha, good! Xiao Li really does not admit defeat to men! Then tell me, what do these three cups represent?"

"This first cup," Li Na raised her glass, "is to honor your magnanimity and generosity."

As she spoke, she drank the wine in her glass in one gulp and then filled it up again.

Luo Ziyang squinted, carefully pondering Li Na’s words.

To honor his magnanimity and generosity?

He had been the general manager of the investment company for two or three years, and it was the first time he heard someone toasting in this manner.

Most people, either flatter, or are timid, like Li Na, neither servile nor overbearing, straightforward, and even somewhat clever, are indeed rare.

"Magnanimity? Generosity?" Luo Ziyang opened his eyes, "It seems like it’s our first meeting?"

Li Na, unflustered and smiling, said:

"Mr. Luo, you jest. I’ve just arrived at this prestigious place, and I’ve only heard of you. But I believe, being in your position, you must be a man of great vision and extraordinary temperament."

She paused, scanning the people around the table, then continued:

"Just like the dishes tonight, you specifically ordered clear stewed donkey meat and wild mushroom hot pot, showing your inclusiveness and thoughtfulness."

"Oh? How so?" Luo Ziyang became interested, he really wanted to hear what reasoning this young lady could provide.

Li Na continued: "Donkey meat is warm in nature, nourishing without being heating, suitable for most people’s consumption. And the wild mushroom hot pot, with its delicious taste and rich nutrients, also fits the modern pursuit of healthiness."

"The most important point is, when you were ordering, you considered that we are from out of town and might not be able to eat spicy food. Such detailed and considerate care, isn’t this also a manifestation of magnanimity and generosity?"

After hearing this, Luo Ziyang burst out laughing, "Hahaha, well said! Xiao Li, you really have a sharp mind and a meticulous thought!"

He raised his glass to Li Na, "This first cup, I’ll drink it!"

After saying that, he downed the wine in his glass.

Seeing this, Li Na also smiled and raised her glass again, "Thank you, Mr. Luo! This second cup, is for your insight and courage."

She paused, "We are new to this treasured place, but you could confide in our Mr. Chen, showing your unique vision and extraordinary courage!"

"I believe that under your guidance and help, our company will surely break into the Kaiyang market."

Luo Ziyang felt very pleased with these words.

Although he often says "business is business", which businessman doesn’t like to hear flattering words?

Moreover, Li Na’s words were not just flattery, but logical and comforting, yet indisputable.

"Great! Well said!"

Luo Ziyang couldn’t help but clap his hands, "Xiao Li, you are increasingly impressing me!"

Both raised their glasses and drank them all.

Li Na remained calm, her smile unchanged, and filled her glass again, "This third cup,"

"To our future cooperation, and to a brighter tomorrow for Kaiyang!"

After speaking, she downed the third cup of wine.

"Great! A brighter tomorrow for Kaiyang indeed!"

Luo Ziyang was also moved by Li Na’s spirit, he picked up his glass and downed it, "Xiao Li, I’ll remember these three cups of wine!"

He put down his glass, sweeping his gaze over everyone present, "Mr. Chen, Manager Xu, your company really is full of talents! Today I have truly seen it!"

Despite being tormented by the "deer blood" earlier, Chen Donghai had also come back to his senses.

He had not expected that Li Na, young as she was, would possess such courage and eloquence.

Chen Cheng was also stunned by this impromptu display of eloquence.

It seemed, she truly was a capable aide.

Chen Donghai said with a smile: "Mr. Luo, you flatter us, the young need more cultivation."

Luo Ziyang waved his hand, "The new waves of the Yangtze River drive the old ones forward! I believe, Xiao Li’s future achievements will be boundless!"

Speaking, he stood up and personally poured another cup of wine for Li Na, "Xiao Li, I remembered correctly, didn’t I?"

"Not at all, Mr. Luo." Li Na held the cup with both hands, "Just call me Nana."

"Hahaha, I remember you just mentioned you studied history?" Luo Ziyang initiated the topic.

Li Na nodded, "Yes."

"At school, what period did you major in?"

"The Tang Dynasty."

Luo Ziyang’s eyebrows raised slightly, "Hmm? See, isn’t that a coincidence? My favorite era to study is also Tang history."

Li Na knew why Xu Qiu had put her forward, but still feigned surprise, "Oh? Mr. Luo, a leader like you, shouldn’t you be fond of Ming history?"

With that, Luo Ziyang’s face broke into a jubilant smile.

"Hahaha, Nana, you really have a way with words!"
