Super Fusion

Chapter 39: There's going to be a good show

"Hehe, it's my good friend's birthday today. I met her after I started working here, and a few of us are celebrating here. What about you? Aren't you in Ningcheng?" As Xu Yu spoke, Zhang Yan also looked delighted. She took a small step forward and looked Xu Yu up and down with delight. The two of them hadn't been in much contact since graduation, and Xu Yu hadn't contacted her at all lately. It was quite unexpected that they would meet again now.

“My job has been transferred to Linzhou.” Xu Yu also rubbed his feet slightly as he spoke. “I was saying that once things settled down, I would come to see you. How have you been lately?”

“Ah! You’ve come to Linzhou? The Economic and Trade Bureau?” Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan’s already beaming face showed even greater surprise. However, just as she was about to say something, a petite and lovely woman suddenly emerged from the private room behind her, grabbing Zhang Yan and saying, “Zhang Yan, how could you run away? Quick… Huh? Who’s this?”

The woman was smiling and trying to pull Zhang Yan back to the room when she saw Xu Yu. Her eyes lit up, and she then smiled and lifted Zhang Yan’s slender waist. “Well, so that’s why our CEO Li has been pursuing you for so long and you haven’t been moved. So you’ve been hiding such a handsome young man? Even on my birthday, you’re hiding away to meet your lover?”

"Get lost!" The woman reeked of alcohol, her eyes slightly glazed. Her words immediately caused Xu Yu and Zhang Yan to blush slightly. Zhang Yan glared at her before smiling and saying, "Let me introduce you. This is my good friend from university, Xu Yu. Xu Yu, this is my colleague He Ling. Today is her birthday."

"Hehe, happy birthday!" Xu Yu, though slightly embarrassed, still smiled and congratulated He Ling.

"Handsome, since you're here, why don't you go in and have a few drinks? Hehe, you'd better watch out, our beautiful Zhang has plenty of suitors at the company. You'll be one of her rivals in the private room..." He Ling suddenly swayed, grabbed Xu Yu's arm, and pulled him into the private room, laughing drunkenly.

"He's drunk, don't take it seriously." Before He Ling could finish, Zhang Yan glared at her again, then smiled at Xu Yu.

"Hehe." Xu Yu chuckled again, but turned to Zhang Yan and asked, "Is it appropriate for me to go in?"

To be honest, he really didn't want to just say hello and then part ways again after all the trouble of bumping into each other here.

"It's fine, go ahead and go in." Zhang Yan's eyes also flickered, and she smiled, "Besides He Ling and another colleague, Tang Wanlin, I'm not that familiar with the others."

With these words, and with He Ling gently pulling him along, the three of them arrived at the door of the private room. In an instant, everything inside the room came into Xu Yu's view: three men and one woman were sitting around a large rotating dining table.

They were all smiling and looking towards the door, but when they saw the slightly drunk He Ling pulling Xu Yu towards them, one of the three men's expressions changed drastically.

"He Ling, who is he?" With these words, the burly man among the three immediately stood up, his face full of doubt.

"Hehe, Mo Biao, don't be jealous. This is my college classmate, Xu Yu. He Ling just met him and is already trying to get him to drink with her." Seeing the other person's expression, Zhang Yan immediately laughed, and then explained to Xu Yu, "He's He Ling's boyfriend, Mo Biao."

It was during the explanation that Mo Biao suddenly blushed, and then awkwardly said to Xu Yu, "Hehe, hello, come, sit down."

It's really not his fault. At first glance, Xu Yu is handsome, fair-skinned, and tall. Although his clothes aren't expensive, they are quite appropriate, which makes him feel a lot of pressure. However, when he heard that the other person was Zhang Yan's classmate, his whole body relaxed completely, and he turned to look strangely at the other young man beside him.

"Hehe, hello, I'm Li Hesong."

"Xu Yu, come in and sit down. We're all Zhang Yan's friends. My name is Zhou Xingbei."

At the same time, the young man Mo Biao looked at immediately stood up and introduced himself to Xu Yu with a smile. However, there was a clear hint of surprise in the young man's eyes. Following his introduction, the other man and woman also stood up with smiles.

After the introductions, and with Zhang Yan's detailed explanation, Xu Yu nodded with a smile. Then, she called a waiter to add a chair, and everyone took their seats in turn. Xu Yu's seat was between Zhang Yan and Mo Biao.

However, as soon as he sat down, He Ling laughed again, "Handsome, I was the one who blocked Zhang Yan's drinks earlier. Now that you're here, this glorious seat is yours. You can't refuse."

With that, Tang Wanlin, on the other side, grabbed three transparent glasses about half a finger's height and poured wine for Xu Yu, filling them three full with Wuliangye liquor, adding, "We ladies drink red wine, you can't, it's all this."

"Hehe, okay!" Xu Yu was slightly speechless, but didn't refuse at all. He picked up the glass and drank it down in one gulp, immediately drawing quiet applause from the others.

Only Zhang Yan, seeing this, showed a slight surprise on her face, then asked Xu Yu with concern, "Why are you drinking so fast? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. I've been drinking quite a bit lately," Xu Yu said with a smile, waving his hand, but a warm feeling welled up inside him.

When the others noticed their behavior, the two women at the table chuckled, their gazes filled with ambiguity. However, Li Hesong, sitting opposite Xu Yu, stiffened slightly.

His expression towards Xu Yu was uncertain.

Li Hesong was indeed frustrated. Ever since Zhang Yan joined the company, he had almost immediately decided to win her over. But two months had passed, and she remained unmoved. In fact, if it weren't for today's birthday celebration for her best friend He Ling, he wouldn't have had a chance to have dinner with her. He had thought he could use today's opportunity to get closer to her, but unexpectedly, Xu Yu had appeared out of nowhere.

Moreover, their behavior seemed quite suspicious, and they were even university classmates…

However, after a moment of gloom, Li Hesong suddenly smiled. University classmates? Even college romances aren't always reliable once you enter the workforce. The women he sets his sights on are hard to escape. With a light laugh, Li Hesong said, "Xu Yu, you and Zhang Yan both graduated from Linda University, right? I wonder where you're working now?"

At this, the other two men present, Zhou Xingbei and Mo Biao, also looked at Xu Yu with rather strange expressions. They were Zhang Yan's colleagues and naturally knew that their boss, Li, had long harbored feelings for Zhang Yan. Given his status, it was quite easy for him to humiliate someone.

At least, in their eyes, Xu Yu's attire, while decent, was far from expensive; she was probably just an ordinary office worker. This was going to be quite a show.
