Chapter: 2753

Charlie Wade smiled a little and asked seriously, “Is everything fitting well this time?”

He Zhiqiu blushed and nodded. The underwear really did fit her this time, but she felt too shy to say it outright. Instead, she looked down and said awkwardly, “Mr. Ye, could you please tell me the total cost? I’ll pay you back later.”

Charlie waved his hand and replied, “You don’t need to be so formal with me. After all, I’ll be your boss soon. Consider this an induction gift.”

He Zhiqiu felt even more embarrassed. She thought, “It’s fine to receive clothes as a gift for a job, but what about stockings and underwear?” However, she realized that if she insisted on paying him back, it would only prolong the awkwardness. She wanted to move on from this embarrassing situation as quickly as possible.

So, she quickly replied, “Since you put it that way, I won’t be polite.” After saying this, she turned around, hiding the clothes in front of her, and hurried back to her seat.

Just then, He Yuanjiang opened the door and said with a smile, “I looked around for a while, but I couldn’t decide what to pick. Mr. Hong suggested a few special dishes, but I’m not sure if they’ll be to your taste.”

Charlie smiled and replied, “The food there is good. If you don’t like it, we can always try something else.”

As they spoke, Hong Wu entered with four bottles of Thirty-Year-Old Moutai Liquor and said respectfully, “Master Ye and Professor He, please enjoy these four bottles.”

He Yuanjiang quickly said, “Oh, Mr. Hong, I can’t drink that much! When I was younger, I could drink about a catty. Now, I’m fine with six or seven, especially with the strong Maotai. I think I can manage half a catty at most.”

Hong Wu smiled and replied, “Professor He, even though this alcohol is strong, we can enjoy it. You should pour a few more glasses!”

Feeling in a great mood, He Yuanjiang agreed, “Alright! Let’s drink a bit more!”

Charlie Wade took the initiative to pour a glass of white wine for He Yuanjiang and himself. Then he turned to Hong Wu and said, “Hong Wu, please prepare some drinks for Miss He.”

As Hong Wu was about to go, He Yuanjiang added, “Zhiqiu, remember that Charlie Wade is your savior. You should also drink some and raise a glass to him later!”

He Zhiqiu hesitated but then nodded, saying, “Okay, Dad.”

Charlie Wade quickly chimed in, “Zhiqiu still needs to rest well. Just let her have a look at the white wine. Hong Wu, please get a bottle of red wine instead.”

“Of course, Master Ye! I’ll get it right away!” Hong Wu replied.

He Zhiqiu looked at Charlie Wade with gratitude and said, “Mr. Ye, I’ll toast you with red wine later!”

Charlie Wade smiled and said, “We’re the same generation, so no need to be so formal. Just call me by my name.”

He Zhiqiu nodded and said, “From now on, I’ll call you President Ye at work, but I’ll use your name privately.”

Charlie Wade smiled back, pleased with the arrangement.

After Hong Wu brought the red wine, He Yuanjiang raised his glass and said to Charlie Wade, “Charlie Wade, this girl of mine is my…”

“Just blood. I want to offer you a glass with Zhiqiu. Thank you for saving my life!”

Charlie Wade quickly stood up, took the wine glass, and said, “Uncle He, you don’t need to thank me anymore. It’s all in the wine.”

He Yuanjiang immediately replied, “No, that’s not right! It’s all in the wine. Let me go first!”
