The three of them tried to persuade him for a while longer, but under the table, Xiao Qian kept making little gestures, constantly reminding Jiang Xiaobai not to keep drinking. The alcohol was rushing to his head, but Jiang Xiaobai was still quite clear-headed. He just shook his head, and the three of them had no choice but to give up.
They ate for a bit longer, and that was basically the end of lunch.
Wang Zhiqiang said, "The sample's not done yet. I called and asked, it'll probably be ready around three. I'll find a place for you two to rest first."
Xiao Qian nodded. Jiang Xiaobai really looked like he'd had too much—his face was flushed bright red.
"Let's go."
Xiao Qian helped Jiang Xiaobai up and followed Wang Zhiqiang out of the cafeteria. The factory had a few lounges specially reserved for entertaining guests.
Wang Zhiqiang arranged one room each for Jiang Xiaobai and Xiao Qian.
"You two rest first, I'll go check on the workshop."
