Chapter 1284: Chapter 1284: Rejecting Kang Hao
Everyone at the banquet knew why she did that.
Who didn’t know that Luna liked the Director? She was definitely causing trouble because the Director took special care of the newbie.
Everyone was aware of this and turned to look at Chi Enen, waiting for her reaction.
Kang Hao sensed the subtle tension at the table, stood up, and broke the awkward silence with a smile, reaching out, saying, “The newbie just got here. Don’t scare her. She might not be able to drink; I can drink for her.”
As he spoke, he gave Chi Enen a look.
Luna was already upset with Kang Hao’s different attitude towards Chi Enen, and this mont made her even more displeased. Not caring about offending Kang Hao, she unobtrusively positioned herself between the two, blinking her eyes, “Director, don’t be so greedy. If you want to drink, I’ll pour you another glass. How can you compete with Enen? The goblet was poured for Enen, and I’ve already drunk it.”
Kang Hao discreetly frowned, but since Luna had insisted to this point, he couldn’t openly help.
Everyone thought Luna’s difficulty would embarrass the newbie in public.
Unexpectedly, right at this mont, Chi Enen, who had been mostly silent, picked up the goblet, tilted her head back, and smoothly finished the goblet of white liquor. Calmly and steadily, she placed the goblet down and said to Luna, who was waiting for her rejection to continue the trouble, “Thank you.”
Anyone with insight could see Luna was making things difficult for her, not genuinely welcoming her to the departnt. This one “thank you” turned the tables.
Luna hadn’t expected Enen to have the guts to finish such a big glass of white liquor, awkwardly laughed, “No need to thank . I didn’t expect Enen to handle her liquor so well.”
Chi Enen completely ignored her, as if she hadn’t heard her attempt to smooth things over, and sat down indifferently.
Luna, unable to save face, her expression turning from green to white, retreated back to her seat embarrassingly.
Others who openly or secretly liked Kang Hao saw Luna being defeated and gave up on causing trouble, focusing on their own als or chatting about work.
Throughout the al, Chi Enen hardly engaged in their conversations.
White liquor is different from red wine; with red wine, you don’t feel it when you drink, but the effects hit you later. White liquor hits you soon after you drink it. Her fair face turned as red as if covered in rouge, but her stomach felt as if it had a fire burning inside it.
Finally, she endured until the banquet ended.
Sitting next to her, Kang Hao suddenly softly said, “Since you’ve been drinking, you shouldn’t be driving. Let take you ho later.”
As soon as Kang Hao finished speaking, Chi Enen refused, “No need, I’ll arrange for a designated driver myself.”
Kang Hao was about to say sothing when the girl who had insisted on toasting Chi Enen earlier called out to Kang Hao, “Director, I’ve had a drink and can’t drive. Could you give a lift?”
Kang Hao instinctively glanced at the little lady beside him with blushing cheeks, then looked at Luna with a hint of hesitation in his eyes, “I…”
“Luna, you want to ride with the Director? Perfect, my place is nearby too. Big Boss, could you take along as well?”
This left Kang Hao with no room to refuse. He looked at Chi Enen, planning to ask Heyue’s waiter to arrange a designated driver for her later, and agreed, “Okay.”
Luna’s beautiful eyes imdiately glead with a triumphant look, discreetly glancing at Chi Enen beside him and assuming a victor’s posture.
