"Apologies. We got stuck in traffic, so we are slightly late."
Pei Ge graciously explained to those seated in the private room.
"No worries; no worries! Just drink a glass of alcohol as a forfeit."
Hearing their responses, she nodded and walked toward the table. Without any hesitation, she offered the glass for the waiter to pour liquor in and raised it.
"I'll make a toast to everyone first!"
Having said that, she downed the liquor at one go.
Almost immediately, a burning sensation spread from her tongue to her throat and made her feel uncomfortable.
Although she could handle it, she seldom drank alcohol. For those important meetings previously, there was always Li Xueman, who had strong alcohol tolerance, to drink on her behalf.
However today, this meeting was exceptionally important, so… she had no choice but to drink.
"CFO Pei is quite alacritous! No wonder Jiaheng got revived by you!"
