With Zhou Qing present, there was naturally no need for the four ladies to continue barbecuing, and he assumed the role of the hard worker.
As Yang Hongyan became one with the group, the sisters quickly drank a fair amount and became more talkative.
Ji Hongyu didn't seem to have an ounce of pretense about her.
Zhou Qing also joined them for a few drinks.
By noon, as alcohol began to take effect, Yang Hongyan and the others had already collapsed on the lawn, bleary-eyed.
Only Ji Hongyu appeared exceptionally sober.
As a standing committee deputy mayor, she naturally attended many social events, so this amount of alcohol was nothing to her.
Ji Hongyu walked up to Zhou Qing and said with a smile, "I've heard your name before. You are Zhou Weining's capable aide, helping him with many things. When he was wronged back then, you ran around and lived up to the trust he placed in you. Stick with Zhou Weining, and your future prospects are bound to be limitless."
