Chapter 129 Can You Hire the Director of the Palace?
Nanxi and Luo Luo talked to each other, and Qiao Li sat on the side without any chance to intervene. She felt a bit like a superfluous person.

"Qiao Li, do you want to go to Luo Luo's house to play with me?" Nan Xi asked.

Luo Luo then said, "Qiao Li's master's defense is over, do you want her to accompany you to write your doctoral thesis?"

It was only then that Nan Xi realized that Qiao Li was studying in the UK. There was a three-plus-one school system, that is, three years for undergraduates and one year for postgraduates. Before returning to China, Qiao Li had completed all her studies.

Qiao Li was a little embarrassed. From the tone of her voice, she felt that Luo Luo didn't want her to be a "light bulb", so she smiled and said, "The day after tomorrow is Tuesday, and I have to go to work, so I won't be with you guys. Another day!"

Nanxi and Luo Luo nodded together tacitly, "Okay!"

The simultaneous reaction of the two twins made Qiao Li angry and jealous.

The next day, Monday.

When he was about to get off work in the afternoon, Mr. Tan called Qiao Li to the general manager's office.

"President Tan, is there something wrong?" Qiao Li sweated, worrying that she would have to work overtime at night. Since she came to work in the general manager's office, overtime has become the norm. During the period when she joined Sears, her normal off-duty days There are only a handful of them.

"There is a social gathering tonight, you can go with me." Mr. Tan said in a deep voice.

Qiao Li frowned. Under normal circumstances, it was Wang Tezhu who accompanied Mr. Tan to dinner parties. This time Mr. Tan called her name, obviously asking her to accompany him for a drink.

"Mr. Tan, I can't drink for two days..."

Mr. Tan asked directly, "You don't know how to drink?"

Qiao Li shook her head. When she was interviewing for this position, being able to drink was a necessary prerequisite, but...

"Mr. Tan, I haven't been feeling well for the past two days, and it's inconvenient to drink. It's just... because of my menstrual period..." Qiao Li replied in a low voice.

Mr. Tan didn't respond, but his expression showed displeasure.

"Mr. Tan, I can drink less." After thinking about it, Qiao Li immediately suggested: "Mr. Tan, why don't you ask Director Shanggong to go with you?"

Mr. Tan glanced at Qiao Li contemptuously. Gong Yichen was a living Buddha placed by the Executive Director in Hills, and even he did not dare to order it easily. Qiao Li, a small assistant, dared to have such an opinion.

"Can you invite the director of the palace?" Mr. Tan asked coldly.

Qiao Li said weakly, "Then let me try?"

Under President Tan's questioning eyes, Qiao Li left the general manager's office.

When Qiao Li entered, Gong Yichen was leaning back on the office chair with his eyes closed.

"Yichen, Mr. Tan said that he has a party tonight and wants to invite you to go with him." Qiao Li said softly.

"No." Gong Yichen said lazily, he hated socializing with those middle-aged uncles the most, even if there were women, they would still be aunts.

Qiao Li had expected this answer, she did not give up, but continued to introduce the identity of the guests and the importance of the banquet, but Gong Yichen remained indifferent.

In the end, Qiao Li resorted to bitter tricks, "Yichen, Mr. Tan has not been in good health recently. His stomach problem is an old problem. Not long ago, he had a physical examination and found a problem with his liver..."

Before Qiao Li could finish speaking, Gong Yichen answered, "I'm not in good health recently. I just got drunk and went to the emergency room last week. I need to recuperate."

Qiao Li continued, "Last time Mr. Tan had a stomach problem and his clothes were drenched in pain. Everyone advised him to go to the hospital. Mr. Tan persisted. After taking a handful of medicines, he persisted in his work. He paid So much is for Sears, after all, Mr. Tan is also doing things for your Gong family..."
