God of Racing

Chapter 632 - 619

Facing Helian Si’s gaze, Yu Sangwan was bewildered.

She still didn’t understand why she was standing here! And why was she being looked at...to pour wine?

Helian Si raised an eyebrow, signaling her once more.

"Uh..." Yu Sangwan had no choice but to step forward, unscrew the wine bottle in front of her, fill a glass, and hold the tray. "President, Mr. Fu."

Helian Si glanced at the tray and picked up a glass. "Mr. Fu, please..."

"Uh..." Fu Xianlin looked at the wine glass with a bit of hesitation. This was sorghum liquor, and he never drank sorghum liquor.

"Hmm?" Helian Si’s face darkened, bringing the glass to his nose with a sniff, his expression immediately sinking, his narrow eyes sweeping towards Yu Sangwan, and sternly shouting, "What’s going on here?"

"..." Yu Sangwan was stunned, what did she do? She clearly hadn’t done anything wrong, had she?

Helian Si’s lips curved, and his gaze turned ominous.

Ou Guanshen immediately started scolding, "How did you prepare? Did you not inform them that Mr. Fu doesn’t drink sorghum liquor?"

"..." Yu Sangwan was taken aback, why couldn’t she understand what he was saying?

As Fu Xianlin’s daughter, she naturally knew her father didn’t drink sorghum liquor! But she was a girl... she only drank beer or red wine at most, how could she know white spirits? Was she supposed to smell the liquor and tell it was sorghum? She couldn’t do it!

The point was, that wasn’t the focus!

The focus was, on what grounds was Ou Guanshen criticizing her like this? She had been inexplicably roped in today to act as a temporary spokesperson... and now she was being blamed without reason during a banquet! But what was she supposed to notify them of? How could this be so unreasonable?

The instinctive female reaction made Yu Sangwan feel extremely wronged.

Yet, the setting did not allow her to erupt.

Fu Xianlin raised his hand, trying to mediate, "Uh, Secretary-General Ou..."

Ou Guanshen frowned and smacked his lips, "Tsk! Aren’t you going to apologize? Or are you saying this has nothing to do with you?"

Yu Sangwan felt she was being set up... Who exactly made the mistake and was pulling her as a scapegoat now? Thinking it over, that was the only possibility.

Gritting her teeth, Yu Sangwan bowed deeply at ninety degrees towards Fu Xianlin, "I’m sorry, Mr. Fu... It’s my lack of ability, not intentional offense or disrespect to you."

Ou Guanshen glared at her, "Hurry to the back and have them replace Mr. Fu’s drink!"

"Yes." Yu Sangwan bit her lip and bowed her head as she headed towards the back room.

Fu Xianlin frowned, watching his daughter suffer grievance, and couldn’t help but want to chime in.

The awkward atmosphere gradually eased as Yu Sangwan left, and Helian Si switched to red wine, "Unexpectedly, this blunder happened, so I will toast Mr. Fu with red wine instead... I’ll drink it all, and Mr. Fu can drink as he pleases..."

"How could that be?" Fu Xianlin shook his head repeatedly.

Helian Si stopped him, "Hey, Mr. Fu is a meritorious person in our Z Country; such talent as Mr. Fu is most rare in a prosperous era..."

Saying this, he raised his glass and drank it all in one go...

Below, applause resounded.

...

The promised meal ended up with Yu Sangwan only being able to nibble on some cream-coated buns in the back room.

Fortunately, she liked this, so she didn’t feel wronged.

"Reporter Yu."

At the door, Ou Guanshen called her name with a smile.

Yu Sangwan braced herself, thinking that Ou Guanshen’s change of face was too quick, but she didn’t dare to ignore it, "Yes, I’m coming."

"Reporter Yu, are you hungry?" Ou Guanshen’s tone was very friendly. "Come, we have set up another table, let’s go eat now!"

"Secretary-General Ou!" Yu Sangwan suddenly called out to him, her lips tightened.

"What’s the matter, is there something?" Ou Guanshen looked at her leisurely.

Yu Sangwan nodded, "Although I admitted earlier, I want to say... this really has nothing to do with me, I believe you are aware. I don’t mind being blamed... but since there is a problem, it should be identified where the issue is, otherwise, there might be a mistake next time... neglecting the president’s esteemed guests."

"..." Ou Guanshen looked at her, his gaze growing softer.

Yu Sangwan was embarrassed by his gaze, "Secretary-General Ou?"

"Let’s go! Eat, the President is still waiting."

In a small, separate room, Helian Si was already seated, holding a knife and fork to cut a lamb chop, occasionally sipping some water. Seeing them enter, he pointed to the seat opposite, "Sit down and eat!"

He had been hosting guests all night, drinking nothing but wine, and now he was finally eating.

Yu Sangwan was a bit bewildered, really... could she sit face to face with the President for a meal?

"Reporter Yu, please." Ou Guanshen pulled out the chair for her, but Yu Sangwan still wouldn’t sit.

Helian Si didn’t lift his head but said, "What? Are you giving me the silent treatment? Do I have to pull out the chair for you?"

"Uh?" Yu Sangwan was startled, hurriedly sat down, "No need, thank you."

Ou Guanshen didn’t rush to sit but instead went behind Helian Si, leaning in to relay what Yu Sangwan had said to him earlier.

Yu Sangwan was dumbfounded, what were these two men... whispering about?

Listening to Ou Guanshen’s words, Helian Si’s gaze towards Yu Sangwan gradually changed, so he asked, "Did she really say that?"

"Yes..."

Helian Si’s lips curved, a hint of a smile in his eyes. Abruptly looking at Yu Sangwan opposite, he asked, "Is it enough to eat?"

"Huh?" Yu Sangwan always had a good appetite, belonging to those who could eat a lot without gaining weight, especially after having Little Bun.

Seeing her dazed look, Helian Si chuckled lightly and instructed, "Give her another half portion..."

"Yes."

"No..." Yu Sangwan wanted to say no.

But Helian Si said, "You can, I think so."

"..." Yu Sangwan was dumbfounded, she indeed could eat it, but how did he know? And with such certainty!

Helian Si squinted slightly, assessing the girl in front of him. Though young, she was well-educated, had years of reporting experience, and her on-the-spot adaptability was quite good with strong psychological resilience. What’s rare was, he intentionally tested her just now, letting Ou Guanshen make things difficult for her...

She actually endured it as a girl, which wasn’t surprising; for a girl, it could be understood as fear.

But after enduring, to be able to reasonably speak to Ou Guanshen like that showed... this girl was very wise.

Although he never liked employing girls around him, this one in front... so far, had made him quite satisfied.

Leaving the Taste House, Yu Sangwan thought she could finally go home.

What she didn’t expect was Helian Si’s wine-tainted breath above her head, "Take a walk forward."

"..." Yu Sangwan was dazed, what kind of ploy was this? A post-meal walk? With the President? Hmm... was Heaven spoiling her so?

Not going wasn’t an option! Walk, then just walk!

Helian Si glanced back and instructed, "None of you follow, she alone is enough."

The color of Yu Sangwan’s face instantly flushed, those words... how ambiguous they sounded!
