Chapter 756: Chapter 271: The Ice Beauty’s Image Shattered
Making up his mind, Su Zelin raised his glass.
"Qiu Wen, this glass is to thank you for choosing New Era and helping me a lot."
With that, Hunzi downed it in one go.
Yan Qiuwen hesitated for a moment and also finished her glass.
Su Zelin filled the two glasses again.
"This glass is to thank you for being my confidante. To be honest, there are many things I can only keep to myself, unable to share with others, but you’re the only one in the world with whom I can share certain secrets."
He felt a bit sentimental; these words indeed came from the heart.
Some things, if held in for too long, can harm you internally. Having someone to talk to is really quite nice.
Yan Qiuwen knew almost everything about him, and Su Zelin didn’t hide anything from her. Except for his rebirth, she knew all else, including his intention to pursue Qin Shiqing.
This matter, he couldn’t tell anyone else, not even his close buddy Lu Haoran.
"The third glass, well, is to thank you for helping me convince Qin Shiqing. I know you might find this repugnant, and I’m very sorry, but if I don’t handle this, I’ll be beyond redemption."
Hunzi wanted Yan Qiuwen to stay in the company not only because her ideas could create astonishing commercial value for New Era but for a more important reason.
He still needed her help to continuously give subtle suggestions to his childhood sweetheart.
Hypnosis is indeed mysterious; Su Zelin would occasionally, intentionally or unintentionally, hint to Qin Shiqing about his many cordial female friends around him. The reactions from Qin Shiqing became smaller and smaller.
Yan Qiuwen’s psychological suggestions definitely had an effect.
You see, in the last life, she couldn’t tolerate even a speck of dust in her eyes. Even though she pursued him this life, her seemingly gentle yet strong character couldn’t change that much.
Thanks to the help from this brilliant woman, Su Zelin dared to plan a birthday party this year, inviting Nanaz and Song Yuwei so Qin Shiqing could know of their existence.
Yan Qiuwen snorted and didn’t raise her glass this time.
Qin Shiqing was her roommate, and yet here she was aiding and abetting. She felt quite troubled whenever she thought about it.
But then again, she did use Su Zelin as a guinea pig for her research, and he didn’t get mad even when he found out, so she couldn’t claim to be entirely in the right.
"My bad, I’ll punish myself with three glasses!"
Su Zelin chuckled awkwardly as he poured three glasses and drank them in succession.
With various excuses to drink with the brilliant woman, it wasn’t long before two blushes appeared on Yan Qiuwen’s flawless jade-like face, adding a touch of gorgeousness and humanity to her, no longer the emotionless ice queen image.
She didn’t drink that much, so why was her face blushing so much?
It seems that Qiu Wen has a sensitive constitution.
Hunzi was a bit surprised but also secretly delighted.
He liked how sensitive Yan Qiuwen’s constitution was.
Usually, she was flawless, hard to sway her to stay, but after drinking, that might not be the case.
With the influence of alcohol, she was easier to get through to.
"How about it? After having a bit of alcohol, do you feel your mind is more alert?"
Su Zelin’s words were like the devil’s whisper.
"You know, experts say a moderate amount of alcohol can produce glutamate in the body, which is a brain stimulant and can inspire creativity. That’s why many ancient poets wrote their masterpieces under the influence of alcohol. When I hit a bottleneck in crafting marketing plans, I occasionally drink a bit, and ideas flow like a burst dam. But of course, in moderation!"
Right now, Yan Qiuwen’s head felt a bit heavy, yet she was surprisingly excited and clearheaded. It was her first time experiencing this mental state, quite strange, but indeed a bit refreshing.
Under the influence of alcohol, her mind broke through to a new level of thinking speed, and many quirky ideas suddenly popped up even for research topics.
This guy wasn’t lying, moderate alcohol sometimes does spark inspiration.
Yan Qiuwen thought silently.
After having a few more drinks with her, Hunzi took the initiative to stop.
It was Qiu Wen’s first time drinking, and with a sensitive constitution, her tolerance was likely limited. He couldn’t keep forcing drinks, or she’d get knocked out, and they wouldn’t be able to discuss serious matters.
So take it slow, no rush, there was plenty of time tonight after all.
"Let’s sing a song."
Yan Qiuwen suddenly said.
"Sing? Me?"
Su Zelin was a bit dumbfounded.
"Yes, I heard you sing well and are a regular at art performances in the finance institute."
The ice beauty said.
"Hehe, not bad I guess, though I don’t always take the stage at art performances."
Hunzi had a "humble" face.
Yan Qiuwen rolled her eyes at him.
This guy’s face was indeed thick to the extreme.
Maybe it was the alcohol, but the brilliant woman’s eyes were watery, and even that eye roll was charming enough to electrify Su Zelin.
If Qiu Wen wasn’t like a robot, she would actually be quite womanly.
"Okay, what song do you want to hear? How about I sing for you, free of charge!"
Su Zelin laughed.
"Charging fees? Do you think you’re a street performer?"
Yan Qiuwen rolled her eyes again, making Hunzi’s heart skip a beat again.
Sis, please stop rolling those eyes, I can’t handle it!
"’Boundless as Summer Flowers’!"
The ice beauty quickly decided on a song.
Pu Shu’s songs always had some issues, yet they perfectly suited a girl like her.
Approaching the karaoke machine, a female employee who was selecting songs shrewdly said, "Boss, want to sing a few? I’ll queue them up for you."
