Chapter 641 The Effect of Sprite and Red Wine
Today is already late November.

Tomorrow is the solar term Xiaoxue.

When Su Mingzhe got up today, he felt a little cold and almost couldn't get out of bed.

I am an immortal, but after only driving Maria for two days, I feel that my vitality has been greatly damaged.

Sure enough, good land costs cows, good cars cost oil, good women cost men, and good guns cost bullets.

After practicing the technique silently, Su Mingzhe began to think whether the several dimensions he had traveled through recently were a bit too promiscuous.

Compared to Su Mingzhe who was still able to get up, Maria felt that she was on the verge of collapse.

This situation has never happened before.

So, Maria suspected that the man had taken the blue pill in the past two days and was driving illegally.

Su Mingzhe returned to the company, stretched, drank a sip of tea, and prepared to work.

There was a knock on the door and Wu Hongmei came in to report that Su Xiao had a work report.

"Let her in."

Su Mingzhe had just closed the document he was about to process when he saw Su Xiao coming in wearing a windbreaker and jeans.

"Xiaoxiao, are you going to the construction site again?"

"Yes, just came back from two construction sites."

Su Xiao is very serious and responsible in her work. She went to two construction sites early in the morning to check the progress and ask whether the progress was good.

It was just past nine o'clock and Su Xiao had already finished her inspection and rushed back.

Su Xiao said as she put her backpack on the table, took out a few documents from it, and handed them to Su Mingzhe.
"Boss, I checked the construction site today and found some problems. I need to report them to you."

After Su Mingzhe opened the file, Su Xiao told him what she thought.

Su Mingzhe chose to let go and let Su Xiao handle it on her own.

Su Xiao had long known that Su Mingzhe would delegate power to her, so she asked Su Mingzhe to sign a few documents with an authorization signature, and then put the documents away again before continuing:
"Boss, based on my recent observations, I think we should speed up the assessment of several engineering teams and try to determine which engineering teams belong to our company before the end of the year."

“Do you have a goal?”

"Yes, there are currently two teams. One is the team led by Manager Dong, and the other is the team led by Manager Tao. Among them, the engineering team under Manager Dong..."

After listening to Su Xiao's report, Su Mingzhe nodded silently, indicating that he agreed with Su Xiao's opinion, and then said:
"So when are you going to talk to them?"

"Boss, this is what I think."

Su Xiao saw that Su Mingzhe was planning to push all the problems onto herself, so she quickly said:

"You are the boss, please talk to Manager Dong and Manager Tao. I believe they will be more able to see your sincerity."

"no problem."

Su Mingzhe nodded and said, "Since you think it's a good idea, let's make an appointment and find a hotel. Let's go and talk to them together. Well, you can also notify Tina from the HR department and ask her to formulate a salary and benefits plan. When the time comes, we can bring the plan to the negotiation, and it will be more sincere."

"Okay, boss, I'll go find Tina right away."

Su Xiao is very prompt in doing things. After discussing something, she turns around and leaves.

Tang Lili was present during the conversation. After Su Xiao left, she turned around and found Wu Hongmei. She couldn't help but lecture her:

"Helen, why didn't you go in and give Director Su some water just now?"

"Huh? I forgot."

Just now, after Su Xiao went in, Wu Hongmei hid at the door because the door was not closed tightly, and listened carefully to how Su Xiao reported her work to Su Mingzhe. She was so engrossed in listening that she forgot her duties as a secretary.

Tang Lili looked at Wu Hongmei's regretful expression and felt speechless. She had no choice but to pull her aside and give her a good lecture:
"Helen, you need to adjust your attitude now. Remember that you are not a human resources manager, but the boss's secretary. Forget it, you should reread the secretary's code of conduct first..."

Su Mingzhe was sitting in the office and heard Tang Lili's teachings to Wu Hongmei, but he did not speak for Wu Hongmei.

After all, it was Wu Hongmei who made the mistake first.

It's not easy to get a high salary.

At eleven o'clock, He Yao, who hadn't contacted for several days, finally couldn't help but take the initiative.

However, she did not contact Su Mingzhe, but asked her father He Shengli to contact Zhao Xiankun and invite the nephew and uncle to visit their home on the weekend.

Zhao Xiankun understood the meaning of the call and called his nephew:

"Xiaozhe, your uncle He just called and said that we haven't seen each other for a long time and asked us to go to his house this weekend. Are you free?"

"If you have time, even if you don't, you have to make time. After all, a higher-ranking official can crush a person."

Su Mingzhe's tone was somewhat teasing.

He also admired He Yao for being able to endure for so many years before taking action.

He thought that if he stretched He Yao a little, He Yao would be unable to bear the 'pain of missing him' the next day, just like last time.

After hanging up the phone with his uncle, Su Mingzhe sent a message to He Yao via WeChat:
"Yaoyao, are you free today?"

After He Yao begged her father He Shengli to invite Zhao Xiankun and his uncle to visit her home this morning, she had been waiting for the man's call. When she heard the man's question, she immediately replied:

"Yes, I have."

After He Yao returned to China, she only had one thing to do for the time being: to hold her own photography exhibition.

The problem is, her photography exhibition doesn't start until the spring, and it's not even December yet.

So, she has plenty of time.

"I recently moved to a new house. Would you like to come over and help me choose some furniture?"

Su Mingzhe also felt that the time was right and prepared to work hard today to win He Yao over.

When He Yao saw the message from Su Mingzhe, inviting her to his new home, she was not on guard and replied directly: "Send me the address."

After half an hour.

Su Mingzhe returned to his residence first to make some preparations.

There are different considerations when driving a new car and an old car.

When driving an old car, as long as it can start, it is okay to tinker with it. After all, it has been almost run-in.

However, when driving a new car, even if you can start it successfully, you still have to drive carefully.

And the road you drive on should preferably be a flat, straight road, and it is best to avoid harsh environments.

Soon, He Yao arrived at the door of Su Mingzhe's new home wearing a snow-white off-shoulder dress.

"coming."

After Su Mingzhe opened the door, he did not look happy when he saw He Yao for the first time. He even looked a little cold, which made He Yao, who came here happily, feel a little uneasy.

However, since she is here, she definitely can't just leave like this.

"come in."

Su Mingzhe's tone seemed a little reluctant, but he still stepped aside and let He Yao in.

He Yao walked in holding up the hem of her skirt and carefully looked at Su Mingzhe's new home, which had a decoration style that was completely different from her own home.

The He family lives in the district party committee compound. Although it is also a villa area with flowers and birds singing and charming scenery, the home decoration inside is old and the decoration design style is from decades ago.

Su Mingzhe's new home features the most popular combination of Chinese and Western decorative designs.

For a girl like He Yao who is at the forefront of fashion, living in this new-style villa would obviously make her more relaxed and happy than living in an old-style villa.

However, although she liked it very much in her heart, she would not say it out loud.

The two of them walked around, and Su Mingzhe asked He Yao to give him some advice.

He Yao didn't know whether the man was asking her sincerely, so she gave him some suggestions based on what she was thinking.

The two of them went from downstairs to upstairs, basically visiting all the rooms.

After reading it, He Yao felt a little depressed.

Because she could see that the villa had been perfectly decorated and there was no need for her to make any more suggestions.

After a while, someone rang the doorbell.

When Su Mingzhe went to open the door, a delivery guy brought him a sumptuous lunch.

Su Mingzhe opened his mouth and asked He Yao to set the table. He took out a bottle of red wine and a bottle of Sprite and asked:

"Yaoyao, I forgot to wake up the red wine in advance. I plan to mix it with Sprite to make it taste sweeter. Would you like some?"

"Sprite mixed with red wine?"

He Yao looked a little embarrassed, because in her opinion, adding Sprite to red wine was something that only the nouveau riche who had just made their fortunes in the 1980s and 1990s would choose to do.

The nouveau riche at that time not only added Sprite, but also sugar and other strange condiments.

In short, red wine, a natural beverage, has been mixed into all kinds of strange drinks.

He Yao is very disgusted with this practice.

Su Mingzhe immediately saw what He Yao was thinking and couldn't help but laugh:
"Yaoyao, you don't look down on the behavior of drinking red wine with Sprite, do you? You know, Europeans and Americans also like to add milk and sugar to our tea. These two behaviors are of the same nature."

He Yao felt a little bit ashamed when her thoughts were exposed by the man.

At this time, I could only argue: "Tea is a little bitter, it's normal for Europeans and Americans to not be used to it."

“Red wine is also bitter.”

Su Mingzhe raised the red wine in his glass and shrugged, "This red wine is not only bitter, but also sour. According to the European and American habit of adding milk and sugar to tea, isn't it reasonable to add Sprite to this sour and astringent red wine?"

He Yao, who was persuaded by the man, had no choice but to drink a glass of red wine with Sprite.

After drinking a glass of wine, a blush immediately appeared on He Yao's face and her eyes began to become dazed.

This is all thanks to Sprite.

Sprite contains a lot of carbohydrates. Once neutralized by the sour red wine, it will accelerate the body's absorption of alcohol, making people drunk easily.

Although He Yao had drunk a lot of red wine, she had never drunk Sprite mixed with red wine. She had no idea about this little common sense of life.

Su Mingzhe took out Sprite and red wine, just to get He Yao drunk quickly.

After drinking a bottle of red wine, Su Mingzhe turned on the music and invited He Yao to dance again.

At this time, He Yao was already staggering and walking unsteadily, with shadows of people looming in front of her.

After dancing, the alcohol flowed faster in her blood and rushed to her head. He Yao's whole body went limp and she fell into the man's arms.

"Yao Yao... Yaoyao..."

Su Mingzhe looked at He Yao, who was drunk and unconscious in his arms, and felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.

I wanted to get He Yao drunk, but I didn't want to make her unconscious.

Forget it, let her sleep for a while first.

Half a bottle of red wine is enough to sober you up after sleeping for an hour or two.

Su Mingzhe carried He Yao into the master bedroom and put her on the bed.
