Chapter 213: Chapter 213: This Silly Sand Sculpture is Here Again (1)_1

...

After setting the alarm to wake herself up the next morning, Xia Wan’an returned to WeChat. Her latest update had received many likes, but she noticed that "Allure Love", who usually likes her posts, didn’t this time. So she messaged him: "Why didn’t you like my latest post?"

"Allure Love": "Am I required to?"

"The most beautiful kid in the whole capital": "What do you think?"

A minute later, Xia Wan’an’s update had an additional like, given by "Allure Love".

Seeing the like from "Allure Love", Xia Wan’an contentedly put down her phone and went to sleep.

The next morning, after being woken up by the alarm, Xia Wan’an lovingly cuddled her blanket for a while before painfully dragging herself out of bed.

After quickly washing up and applying light makeup, she noticed while booking her ride that she had received more text messages from the annoying guy who had used two different phone numbers last night.

The message from the number that had originally offered 20 million was: "50 million, is that possible?"

The message from the number that had originally offered 30 million was: "50 million, instant transfer."

She rolled her eyes, didn’t reply to either number, took a screenshot of the messages (with the numbers blurred), and posted it on her social feed: "Look, this idiot’s at it again—"

She didn’t have many friends on WeChat, but those she interacted with regularly gave her likes quickly.

Then, half an hour later when fewer people were interacting with her feed, Zhang Te liked it.

After another half hour, when Xia Wan’an was already at work, "Allure Love" also liked it.

...

Although Xia Wan’an worked in the design department, she occasionally had to socialize with colleagues and clients.

Though she had been working for several years, she was not quite comfortable with situations where business was discussed over drinks.

However, luckily her department wasn’t small and they took turns for such engagements, averaging one every three months—a pace which was within Xia Wan’an’s range of tolerance.

In fact, today wasn’t Xia Wan’an’s turn. But the person who was supposed to go had an emergency, so she had to accompany Gu Yuzhi instead.

The dinner party wasn’t too crowded, but it wasn’t too sparse either. Among the guests were two big agency representatives of the Han Family Business.

Such occasions inevitably involved drinking, and the ones to suffer most were always young, attractive women.

It was for this reason that Xia Wan’an didn’t like socializing.

All the company representatives that had come brought female companions. Compared to Xia Wan’an, these women were much more open. They began toasting enthusiastically as soon as they sat down, encouraged by their leaders.

As the saying goes, alcohol emboldens the cowardly. After a few drinks, some people’s true colors were revealed. The men, who normally appeared refined and decent, began telling crude jokes to the women their partners had brought. Some even intentionally got close to the women while toasting, touching their waists or chests.

The women didn’t seem to mind such blatant advances and continued to graciously toast and flatter.

Although Xia Wan’an despised such situations, she didn’t show it. Instead, she tried her best to maintain her composure and smile, keeping a low profile at all times.

Despite this, Xia Wan’an still ended up drinking quite a bit.
