Chapter 962 The trump card

Zhao Jie is the vice president of a commercial bank. Xu Siying's company has several loan projects under his approval, so her department manager Hao Zhiwei has been trying hard to get along with him during this period. Xu Siying is the trump card that Hao Zhiwei uses to get along with her...

Because in Hao Zhiwei's eyes, Xu Siying was just a girl with no background and simple thoughts, who could be easily manipulated by him. For example, when he promoted her to deputy supervisor, he only gave her a little benefit, and she showed tears of gratitude to him.

In fact, when Zhao Jie was looking for pretty girls in his department at the beginning, he didn't fancy Xu Siying at all, because she was fat at that time and looked listless. But no one expected that after only one month, Xu Siying successfully lost weight and gave everyone a gorgeous turn into the lovely girl she is today.

Seeing Xu Siying was so understanding that she actually sat directly next to Zhao Jie, Hao Zhiwei said to Xu Siying with a smile, "Xiao Xu, you are late, you have to drink three glasses of wine as punishment, but since you are a girl, just drink one glass as a token of your appreciation."

The reason why Hao Zhiwei said this was to test Xu Siying's bottom line. As long as she drank this glass of wine, then more glasses would not be a problem.

Xu Siying smiled after hearing this, and picked up the wine glass on the table and said, "I'll explain this, too. The reason I came late is because I just came back from overtime at the company... But late is late, Manager Hao is right, I should indeed punish myself with a glass of wine. Here I wish all the brothers good work and good health!"

Seeing Xu Siying being so open, several people started to make a fuss and wanted to drink with her. It seemed that they must get her drunk today. However, Xu Siying smiled and said, "I can't drink much. I get drunk as soon as I drink."

Hao Zhiwei thought to himself, I'm afraid you won't get drunk even if you drink a lot, so he said with a sly smile, "Don't worry, Xiao Xu, in fact, we all have average alcohol tolerance, but drinking alone is boring... Why don't we play rock-paper-scissors together, whoever loses drinks, how about that?"

Xu Siying said coquettishly when she heard this, "Let me make it clear in advance that I only know how to play rock-paper-scissors! You are not allowed to bully me!"

After hearing this, Hao Zhiwei winked at the man next to him, who immediately agreed, "Rock, paper, scissors, it's rock, paper, scissors. There's no skill involved, it's all based on luck!"

So the next few people played rock-paper-scissors together, and the loser drank a glass of wine. But I don’t know if Xu Siying’s luck today was a little too good. After a few rounds, it was Hao Zhiwei and Zhao Jie who were drinking. Although Xu Siying sometimes lost, the probability was very low...

Seeing that this was not a solution, several people suggested that rock-paper-scissors was too boring, and that it was a game only played by children. Why not teach Xu Siying how to play rock-paper-scissors? The others agreed. Xu Siying didn't say she didn't want to play, but she said with an ambiguous smile, "It's okay to play rock-paper-scissors... but you have to add something else to it besides drinking."

Zhao Jie naturally wouldn't take a young girl's words to heart, so he said without thinking, "Okay, what's the prize?" Xu Siying thought about it seriously and said, "How about this, the loser not only has to drink a penalty, but also has to give me a year of life?"

Hao Zhiwei and Zhao Jie felt that this was a bit too strange. Who would lose a game of rock-paper-scissors and have their life shortened? They all thought that the girl was just talking nonsense because she was drunk. At that time, they were drunk and had the guts to get Xu Siying drunk. Besides, it was just a saying after all. Although it was a bit unlucky, no one believed that losing would really shorten one's life.

So after they briefly explained the rules of rock-paper-scissors to Xu Siying, they started playing "Five champions, six six six, seven fairies, eight horses..."

Since it was Xu Siying's first time playing rock-paper-scissors, she lost several times in the beginning. When the wine was placed in front of her, she did not refuse and drank it readily. But soon Xu Siying figured out the rules and techniques of rock-paper-scissors, and Zhao Jie and his friends began to lose frequently. They drank the penalty wine without caring... But no one noticed that every time at this time, Xu Siying would say with a smile, "One year of life..."

The guest of honor at this banquet was Zhao Jie, so naturally Xu Siying and Zhao Jie played this game more, and therefore the phrase "one year of longevity" was said the most to Zhao Jie... At first Hao Zhiwei didn't pay attention to what Xu Siying said, thinking that the girl was just being polite, but who knew that every time Xu Siying and Zhao Jie said "one year of longevity", Zhao Jie's face became darker, and in the end there were even white hairs on his temples.

Hao Zhiwei initially thought it was because of the light in the private room, but when Zhao Jie got up to go to the bathroom, Hao Zhiwei was afraid that he would fall after drinking too much, so he followed him out. As a result, when the two of them walked to an area with normal brightness, Hao Zhiwei was shocked to find that Zhao Jie had aged a lot in just one night, and did not look like he was just in his early forties at all.

At this time, Hao Zhiwei still didn't know why Zhao Jie became like this, but he vaguely felt that this had a lot to do with Xu Siying's joke, so when he returned to the private room again, he began to pay close attention to the guys who had been drinking with Xu Siying, and found that they were also much older than before...

Although he was not 100% sure whether he had seen it wrong, the strong sense of danger still prompted Hao Zhiwei to want to escape, so he hurried to the bar to pay all the bills for the night, and then went out and took a taxi without even saying hello.

Since Hao Zhiwei drank a lot that night, he was still confused when he got home. It was not until the next day when he was completely sober that he felt that his behavior yesterday was a bit ridiculous. He threw Zhao Jie and others in the KTV just because Xu Siying said that inexplicable thing! ? In addition, when he met Xu Siying in the company later, he found that she was still harmless, so he was more convinced that he was drunk and had wrong thoughts.

Although Hao Zhiwei paid off all the expenses at that time, he still felt that this was a bit impolite, so he wondered whether he should take the initiative to contact Zhao Jie and others and treat them to a meal, which would not only make amends but also bring them closer together.

Unexpectedly, Hao Zhiwei couldn't get through to those people for several days in a row. Either the lines were busy or turned off. After all, they were not very close friends, so he felt embarrassed to keep chasing them. So he waited for a few more days... until he met Zhao Jie's subordinate Zhang He at a drinking party.
