Part 32
Meeting Phuc’s friends. Getting drunk
A small corner but filled with beauty makes this place stand out the most in the hall. Ms. Ngoc is confident and seductive in a tight red dress, showing off her curvaceous body. Meanwhile, Ms. Ha is gentle with a light blue dress with stones and two slits on both sides, letting her long, straight legs linger and attract people’s eyes. As for Chi, it’s not because she’s gentle and shy that she’s inferior, on the contrary, it’s her pure, youthful appearance that creates an unforgettable impression in the eyes of passersby.
– The mother of the 3 bitches looks really delicious, but they’ve all been through the hands of the General Director alone. Fuck, if he gives me even just one night, I guarantee I’ll fuck these 3 girls and run away.
Dao stands in the dark corner, holding a glass of wine, his eyes glaring at the 3 girls. Of course, his head won’t think of anything good, because the things he cares about are never clean. And it seemed that Mr. Danh’s warning did not make him any better, on the contrary, he only knew how to hold grudges and play more evil tricks, only he hid it better. The number
of guests increased, many of them were guests from partner companies or local officials. The main party was about to start, Chi said goodbye to her two sisters and then went to check the food and the organization to see if anything needed to be adjusted. Luckily, everything was running as originally arranged, which also relieved Chi’s worries. She returned to the main hall, where Mr. Danh was preparing to speak before everyone celebrated.
She had not been standing for long when Phuc came from somewhere, he immediately held her hand and asked, “
Where have you been all this time? I’ve been looking for you for a long time but couldn’t find you.
” “I just went to check a few things to see if everything was okay. What do you need?
” “My dad wants to see you, and then I also want to introduce you to a few friends, who are also potential partners of our company.”
-Your dad wants to see me now, what’s the matter? And your friends, why did you introduce me to them, I’m not good at communicating. Why don’t you go with Mr. Lam, you two work well together, he’s good at communicating and understands the profession, isn’t he more suitable than me.
-Dad wants to see you simply because he wants to see if we’re happy together or not. As for going with you to meet your friends because currently Mr. Lam is in charge of welcoming and managing guests and employees of the factory. Besides, I also want him to keep an eye on Mr. Dao and his gang, to avoid them from doing anything and embarrassing the company. And those friends of yours have their girlfriends, it’s most suitable for you and me to welcome them, we’re close but not sloppy.
Chi understood why Mr. Danh wanted to see her, her face was red, she usually interacted with him at work, she thought it was very normal. But tonight’s meeting was completely different, it was like meeting my future father-in-law, a delicate girl like me would of course be a little embarrassed. But this was bound to happen, I took a breath, looked at him and nodded.
-Okay, let’s go there.
Holding hands, Phuc led Chi upstairs. Mr. Danh was standing with a few elderly people . Seeing Phuc and Chi, he found an excuse to go sit in another corner. The two came to him. He nodded to both of them, the corners of his mouth and eyes clearly showing joy.
Chi saw Phuc’s hand holding hers tremble slightly, proving that his hidden smile had stirred him. Chi felt that both men were different today. They did not show their usual strong and confident appearance, but as if something had calmed down. For the first time, their eyes looked at each other without being serious or expectant. Chi felt it was more emotional.
-Sit down.
The two of them sat down together, still holding hands very tightly.
-How have you been these days, Chi? Are you happy or still under pressure?
Chi understood what he meant, she replied very confidently.
-Yes, I am happy.
-Do you hear that? Try to do better, don’t lose your luck. As for Chi, keep being happy like that, thank you.
Not too many sermons, no imposition or lectures, but he gave both of them the best support and guidance.
No one said it, but both Phuc and Chi, a big part of the reason they came together and let their feelings progress so quickly was because of his encouragement. He wanted to please his father to hear praise and see nods of approval. As for Chi, his gratitude to her and her mother was too great, she was with Phuc to reassure him and act as a bridge for the two to improve their relationship. That’s why, even though they had just fallen in love, Chi pampered and gave Phuc special privileges, like letting him touch her sensitive area like the other day. The two
were still holding hands, at this time Mr. Danh was about to speak so he told them to leave.
-It’s almost time for you to speak, Chi, go with Phuc to help me receive guests, we can chat later.
The two of them understood and stood up, Chi pulled his hand and said.
-Let’s go to your friend’s place.
Phuc nodded and led Chi to a table not far away, where there were already 3 couples sitting. The three men wore smart suits like Phuc, while the three women were more sophisticated in both their clothing and makeup. But it was easy to see that they had one thing in common: they tried to show off as much as possible, their clothes and accessories to show off their money, and their exposed skin to show off their sexiness.
Phuc introduced the 3 men to Chi, they were all his friends in middle school, before he went to study abroad. Currently, they all worked at family companies or in large corporations, places that could all become partners with PBK group. The women were all their wives or lovers.
When Phuc said Chi was his girlfriend, everyone here had to praise her in their hearts. Because although the girls standing next to them were also beautiful, the beauty that they admired with makeup and jewelry was boring. Unlike Chi, she was naturally beautiful, from her big, bright eyes to her pouty mouth with a shy, pretty smile, without needing to act up, it was enough to make the three guys have a deep impression of her.
In contrast to the three men’s appreciation, the women at the table were secretly annoyed. Some looked down on Chi because she had no valuable accessories other than her clothes. Some were jealous because she had taken away her lover’s attention. So all three of them wanted to see her embarrassed.
Chi didn’t pay much attention to that, she still acted according to her nature, maybe adding a little enthusiasm to make her lover look good. While talking, she also tried to gain sympathy from the three women, not knowing that they were thinking of ways to make things difficult for her.
Then they started talking about luxury goods, expensive tourist destinations, then turned to Chi and asked, “
Sister, have you traveled abroad yet? Have you tried the specialties of many countries in the world?
” “No, not yet, because the situation does not allow it and also because I prioritize seeing all the beautiful scenery of Vietnam first. Even so, I still diligently study foreign languages, read books and learn about the cultures of other countries. If one day I get to travel there, I believe that I will be able to communicate well without being confused.”
The three people came with arrogance and criticism, they received modesty but not any inferiority from Chi. Phuc, who was beside him, also secretly smiled because his girlfriend was gentle and delicate, he was sure that the others would not be able to make things difficult for her even if they wanted to.
That’s right, right after that the story led to many other aspects, one girl turned to ask Chi about foreign languages. They thought that studying at an international school since childhood meant having better foreign language skills than me, but when they received my answer, they were all silent.
– In college, I got an IELTS 7.5 certificate, when I started working, I also studied Chinese and specialized Japanese to introduce the company’s products to customers. When I met Mr. Phuc, I also studied French, German, Spanish, Korean and Thai. But I only learned enough to ask for directions and count.
The three girls, one looked at the other and didn’t know what to say, until a few dishes were served, they made it difficult for me about the specialties of each country. One girl bragged about having eaten Truffle mushrooms in France, one girl talked about Saffron, another girl talked about caviar, when asked about Chi, I just answered with wide eyes.
– You girls are so lucky, you get to enjoy the most luxurious things in the world. I was lucky enough to work next to the General Director so I learned about some Vietnamese specialties, such as blood nest, Ngoc Linh ginseng and most importantly, 800-year-old Shan Tuyet tea.
One girl heard that it was a Vietnamese specialty, thought it was nothing, was about to pout and tease when her friend stopped her. Because the things Chi had just mentioned in Vietnam were not only expensive but also extremely rare, sometimes even with money they couldn’t buy them.
At this point the other girls were resigned, but when the table was ready they thought of another way to make things difficult for her. Phuc’s table, therefore, had many priorities, but neither Chi nor he wanted this priority. Their table had up to 2 types of alcohol, a Whisky for men and a bottle of wine for women.
Those rich kids went to the bar every week, these bottles of alcohol were nothing to them. But for both Phuc and Chi, competing with them in drinking was a difficult challenge, maybe it could be called impossible.
-Why is there so much alcohol at our table, is there a mistake?
Phuc said and was about to put away the bottle of Whisky but at this moment one of the three men spoke.
-How could it be wrong, this is the Crown Prince’s table, adding a bottle of wine is very appropriate. Or do you feel sorry for us?
-No, it’s just that seeing an extra bottle of wine at our table makes me feel a bit strange, but you guys can drink freely and then order more, to be honest I’m a bit weak in this area, my lover is the same.
-You’ve been abroad for a long time and don’t understand. The business culture in Vietnam is that there must be some alcohol on the table to get to work. If you don’t believe me, look at the other tables where your father received his partners. There, every table had 3 or 4 bottles.
Phuc looked out and it was true, even Mr. Danh’s table had a corner full of wine. Phuc turned to Chi and both sighed helplessly.
-Okay then, let’s drink Whiskey and give the ladies a bottle of wine.
The drinking began, Chi held up her glass of wine, the women at the table knew she couldn’t drink so they forced her even more. They used all kinds of reasons from work to congratulations to make her drink one glass after another. Phuc was no better, the strong alcohol quickly made his face red and his stomach rumbled like it was on fire.
It took hours for everyone to eat and play the lucky draw game. When the party ended, everyone called each other to go up 2 or 3.
Lam, following Phuc’s instructions, had been sitting at Dao’s table with some of his juniors. Even Lam knew how to control himself a bit, but when the alcohol got a little too much, the whole group started to make unreasonable requests.
-Mr. Lam, we’re all full now, can you find a place for us to vent a bit? Just looking at the beautiful ladies in here is too stuffy.
Lam was also drunk at this time, he heard Dao say something so he had to ask again.
-Uncle Dao, can you explain more clearly, where do you mean by “letting go”?
-You don’t need to know, just drive us there.
So, to please everyone, Lam stood up unsteadily and went to the car. Dao’s group was just a hotel not too far away. As soon as they arrived, they checked in and immediately requested a massage service. Only then did Lam know what “relieving” was like. Dao and his juniors eagerly ran off, leaving Lam to pay for them. It seemed that there were many year-end parties being held today, so guests kept coming and going. Lam waited for the receptionist to pay for him for nearly 10 minutes.
– I’m sorry, we have too many guests today, and the camera system is having problems, please wait a few more minutes.
The receptionist’s sweet voice and lovely face made Lam ignore this slight discomfort, waiting another 1 or 2 minutes was fine.
Finally, the table where Phuc and Chi were sitting had finished eating. But the number of people who could stand up was only 6, Chi and Phuc were still sitting, the two of them almost leaning against each other.
-Phuc, come to the bar for a round 2 with us, go up there and listen to some music and you’ll sober up, it’ll be fun.
-No…you guys go…sob…I’m still worried about my girlfriend first…she’s too drunk.
Phuc’s friend still wanted to say something more but his girlfriend and the others urged him, so he had to say goodbye and turn his back. Phuc stroked Chi’s cheek, she didn’t react, just “uh” perfunctorily and then fell silent again. Phuc wiped her face with a wet towel then stood up, unsteadily helping her out.
Each step he took wasn’t easy, the scene in front of him was spinning, the floor was bobbing like waves. He didn’t understand how he managed to help Chi out the door, just in time for a car to stop right in front, it seemed to be a Mai Linh taxi. He opened the back door, struggled to let Chi in and then sat down with her. He said one last sentence and then collapsed.
-Take us to the resting place…
Then he lost all sense of space and time until he vaguely heard someone calling him. Then he continued to walk, beside someone, besides Chi, who else. He stood at the reception desk to check in in a half-asleep state, and only when he collapsed on the bed did he find some rest. For
the first time, Chi experienced the feeling of being drunk to the point of almost passing out, everything she only vaguely recognized, and she herself had no strength left. But because she knew he was always nearby, she felt a bit reassured.
Like at this moment, Chi felt herself being helped to walk, here seemed quieter, making her want to fall deeper into sleep. When she was able to lie down on the soft bed, she only softly “ummed”.
Helping Chi up here was considered the end of his mission, he should have rested, because the alcohol in his body had already taken effect. But the dress was disheveled, the neckline was lopsided, causing Chi’s white breasts to be almost completely exposed, the nipple patch was about to fall off. He had seen Chi many times, but never seen it this wild and erotic, he wanted to control himself but couldn’t so he reached out.
