The two took turns singing, and would drink alcohol to soothe their throats after singing as casually as if it were water, to Ge Dongxu's surprise.
As a high school student with not much exposure to society, Ge Dongxu had no idea that women like Liu Manman often appeared glamorous on the surface but were compelled to attend many social gatherings behind the scenes.
In such settings, the tables were mostly filled with wealthy people or officials, and women like them were expected to drink and smile. Newcomers like Wu Shiyi had even less say—they simply had to drink whenever asked. Liu Manman, however, had endured long enough to gain some status and could sometimes assert herself, managing to have some choice in the social interactions.
Of course, this depended on who she was dealing with. For someone like Ge Dongxu, who had military license plates on his car that could directly enter the airport in the capital, she definitely couldn't afford to put on airs.
