I leaned against the wall, stumbling out of the restroom, my stomach churning violently. I quickly supported myself on the sink and dry heaved a few times, but nothing came up.
"Assistant Ye, what's wrong with you?" a deep voice came from behind me.
I turned to see President Wang! How did he end up here?!
I instantly sobered up a bit and straightened my posture, pretending to be drunk as I slurred, "Wang, President Wang? Why are you here too?"
Seeing my flushed face and unsteady steps, President Wang realized I had drunk too much. He asked with concern, "Did you drink too much? Do you want me to take you home?"
"No, no..." I waved my hand and forced myself to say, "I can manage..."
"Let me take you; it's not safe for you like this," President Wang said as he reached out to support me.
I felt a surge of joy but still pretended to refuse: "There's no need to trouble you, President Wang. I can..."
"Don't be polite; I'm leaving anyway," President Wang insisted as he guided me toward the bar exit.
...
I held President Wang's business card, suppressing my inner excitement, and with hazy eyes said, "President Wang, you truly have an eye for talent! Let me toast to you!" With that, I raised my glass and downed it in one go.
"Good! Refreshing!" President Wang laughed heartily, picked up his glass, and downed it in one go.
I wiped the corner of my mouth with the back of my hand and leaned in closer to President Wang, pretending to be mysterious, and lowered my voice, saying, "President Wang, let me tell you, I know a big secret about Li Ming and Jenny..."
President Wang's eyes instantly lit up. He put down his glass and eagerly asked, "Oh? What secret? Hurry up and tell me!"
I deliberately acted as if I were drunk, speaking unclearly, "It's... it's about that... your project, President Wang..."
"Project? What project?" President Wang became even more curious, leaning forward, eager to know the answer.
I burped and propped myself up on the table, hazily saying, "It's... it's about... Li Ming and Jenny wanting to... wanting to..."
"Wanted to what?" President Wang pressed.
I lifted my head, gazing at President Wang with a dazed look, and said, "They want to sell the secrets to competitors, and then..." I lowered my head, my voice trembling as I continued, "then... get rid of Manager Jiang..."
President Wang's expression instantly turned extremely grim. He leaned on the table with both hands, his eyes filled with flames of anger.
I secretly observed President Wang's reaction, feeling pleased inside.
"This is outrageous!" President Wang shouted angrily, smashing his coffee cup on the floor. "How could they do such a thing?!"
I trembled in fear and quickly said, "President Wang, please don't be angry. I'm just... I'm just..."
"I know, I know." President Wang took a deep breath, suppressing his anger as he looked at me and said, "Thank you for telling me this. Don't worry; I will definitely stand up for you."
I quickly waved my hand and said, "No need, President Wang. I just don't want to see Manager Jiang kept in the dark..."
"You don't have to worry. I will handle this matter," President Wang said, patting my shoulder for reassurance. "Rest assured, I will give Manager Jiang an explanation."
"Thank you, President Wang. Thank you, President Wang..." I said, overwhelmed with gratitude.
President Wang looked at me, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes as he said, "You're quite impressive and have good ideas." He paused before continuing, "Are you interested in developing your career at my company? I can offer you a higher platform."
I felt ecstatic inside but maintained an appearance of being flattered and surprised as I replied, "I... I..."
"There's no rush to answer me; you can take your time to consider it," President Wang said with a smile, handing me a business card. "Just call me when you've made up your mind."
I took the card and held it tightly in my hand, saying, "Thank you, President Wang. I will definitely think it over seriously."
President Wang nodded and then turned to Li Ming and Jenny, his gaze cold as he asked, "Mr. Li, Secretary Zhen, do you have anything else to say?"
Li Ming and Jenny's faces turned pale; they never expected Ye Jiajia would say such things in front of President Wang.
Li Ming opened his mouth as if to explain something but ultimately said nothing.
Jenny looked incredulous; she stared at Ye Jiajia with eyes full of resentment.
