The meeting with Vice Minister Lin was set for six o'clock, so they had to leave by five.
Duan Xingzhi came out of the office, already changed into a suit. He glanced at Bai Zhi, seemed to assess her, and then said, "Let's go."
Being looked at by him made Bai Zhi even more nervous. She looked down at herself; though not in any designer brand, her white dress seemed presentable enough, right?
While she was in a daze, Duan Xingzhi had already reached the elevator, and she hurried over to press the button.
Inside the elevator, the atmosphere was awkward; at least Bai Zhi felt she was having a bit of trouble breathing.
"Do you drink?"
She didn't expect him to suddenly speak, and responded with a "Huh?" while her face inexplicably reddened.
"I don't."
"Madam Lin likes red wine."
"Ah... Maybe it's better if Special Assistant Han arranges for someone else to accompany you. I really can't drink."
