7: Chapter 7: Will he still buy it?

Six thousand yuan worth of red wine, even after it had been decanted, was tough to down in one gulp.

Sun Yiyao put down the wine glass, her fair neck arched slightly as the liquid rolled down her throat, and a wave of heat soon rose in her stomach.

"Hic..."

A faint, involuntary hiccup escaped from her rosy lips.

Sun Yiyao quickly reached out to cover her mouth, her charming face instantly turning bright red.

This was so embarrassing.

Although she dealt with wine at work, she usually just took a small sip during tastings.

This was her first time downing more than half a glass on an empty stomach.

Zhang Qi leaned back on the sofa, watching her embarrassed appearance, and felt amused.

Although this woman sold red wine, it was obvious she was an amateur.

That was no way to drink.

She hadn't eaten anything, yet she just downed it in one go.

It might look bold, like drinking a beverage, but in reality, this method was the easiest way to get tipsy and the fastest way to get drunk.

However, Zhang Qi didn't say much.

"Brother Qi, I've finished drinking."

Sun Yiyao put her hand down, her peach-blossom eyes glistening with moisture as she gazed eagerly at Zhang Qi.

In her eyes, there was a mix of anticipation and nervousness.

Zhang Qi didn't waste words and directly fulfilled his promise.

"Open your shop's mini-program; let me take a look."

Upon hearing this, Sun Yiyao's eyes immediately lit up.

She quickly picked up her phone, expertly opened the internal wine list program, then leaned forward and held the screen out to Zhang Qi.

Because of her wide movement, the scenery at her neckline was once again partially visible.

Zhang Qi's gaze swept across the screen.

His finger slid across the screen, skipping over the items in the few thousand yuan price range.

He now had over fourteen thousand in his card.

To maximize the efficiency of the rebate, he naturally had to choose the expensive ones.

Soon, his gaze locked onto a bottle of Lafite with a good vintage.

The price tag was fourteen thousand.

"Let's go with this one."

Zhang Qi tapped the screen with his finger.

Sun Yiyao followed his finger and her breath hitched.

A fourteen-thousand yuan Lafite.

She couldn't believe her eyes.

That six-thousand yuan bottle earlier already felt like a dream.

Now, Zhang Qi didn't even bat an eye and directly ordered a fourteen-thousand yuan bottle.

She knew that the commission rate for this wine was even higher.

Selling this bottle meant she would get at least a thousand yuan in commission.

In just these few short minutes, she had not only saved her job but also earned over fourteen hundred yuan.

This was even more thrilling than a pie falling from the sky.

Sun Yiyao felt her heartbeat accelerating uncontrollably, her chest heaving violently.

"Brother Qi, are you sure you want this one?"

Her voice trembled slightly, fearing that Zhang Qi had clicked the wrong one.

"I'm sure. Scan the code."

Zhang Qi said calmly and directly opened WeChat's scan feature.

Beep.

The sound of a successful payment notification was exceptionally crisp in the quiet living room.

Sun Yiyao looked at the order success notification that popped up in the background of her phone, feeling completely dazed.

It was sold just like that.

One bottle of wine, and she earned a thousand yuan in commission.

This was just too easy.

She looked at Zhang Qi sitting opposite her, a complex and indescribable meaning in her eyes.

Why hadn't she realized this man was so capable before?

Just as Sun Yiyao was letting her thoughts wander, the system's wonderful mechanical voice echoed in Zhang Qi's mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host has spent 14,000 yuan on himself, meeting the conditions for a rebate.]

[Double rebate triggered. 28,000 yuan has been transferred to the host's savings card ending in 9527. The source of funds is absolutely safe, please feel free to use it.]

[Current cumulative consumption amount: 23,524 yuan.]

The phone vibrated.

Zhang Qi casually opened the text message to take a look.

"Your savings account ending in 9527 received a deposit of 28,000.00 RMB at 18:35. Current balance: 28,569.50 RMB."

Looking at the balance of nearly thirty thousand yuan in his account, the smile on Zhang Qi's lips deepened.

This feeling of spending money without heartache, and instead having more the more he spent, was just too satisfying.

He looked up, his gaze falling on Sun Yiyao's face, which was flushed from alcohol and excitement.

"Keep me company for another glass, and I'll order another bottle."

Zhang Qi picked up the wine glass in front of him and gently swirled the red liquid inside.

Upon hearing this, Sun Yiyao subconsciously swallowed.

She knew her alcohol tolerance very well.

She hadn't really drunk much alcohol, so she definitely didn't have much of a tolerance.

But she had drunk the last glass too quickly, so her body hadn't reacted yet.

At this moment, she didn't feel anything unusual.

Faced with the temptation of "ordering another bottle," she couldn't bring herself to refuse.

Zhang Qi had just ordered a fourteen-thousand yuan bottle; the next one couldn't possibly be cheaper than that.

That was real, solid commission.

She was so poor she didn't even have a place to live, so what was a little drinking?

As long as she could make money, even if she drank until she threw up, it was worth it.

Moreover, she felt that since Zhang Qi had just broken up with her cousin today, he must be feeling terrible.

Men, when encountering such things, always needed someone to keep them company while they drank to vent.

She was currently eating his food, living in his place, and earning his money.

Keeping him company for a few drinks was only right.

Thinking of this, Sun Yiyao bit her rosy lips and reached out to pick up the decanter.

"Okay, Brother Qi, I'll drink with you."

She refilled the empty glass in front of her, even fuller than the last one.

The deep red wine reflected an alluring sheen under the lights.

She picked up her wine glass and took the initiative to clink it against Zhang Qi's glass.

A crisp sound of glass clinking echoed.

Sun Yiyao tilted her head back and once again downed the red wine in her glass.

Her movements were just as bold, even carrying a bit of a "do or die" attitude.

She didn't notice, however, that Zhang Qi opposite her only symbolically brought the glass to his lips and took a small sip.

It didn't even count as half a sip.

Sun Yiyao put down the glass; this time she had experience, so she pursed her lips tightly, forcing herself not to let that hiccup escape.

But the aftereffect of the alcohol began to kick in.

Her cheeks were even rosier than before, and her earlobes and slender neck were also tinged with an alluring pink.

Her originally clear peach-blossom eyes were now misted over, and her gaze began to grow slightly unfocused.

She sat on the sofa, her breathing becoming slightly rapid.

That tight professional attire seemed to become a sort of constraint at this moment.

The buttons of her white shirt were stretched even tighter, as if they might pop open at any moment.

Under her hip-hugging skirt, her long legs, wrapped in sheer black stockings, unconsciously rubbed together as she brought them close.

Her whole being exuded a natural, innate charm.

Zhang Qi leaned against the back of the sofa, unashamedly appreciating the scene of the drunken beauty before him.

It had to be said, Sun Yiyao's foundation was truly excellent.

This slightly tipsy appearance was much more vivid than the forced professional smile she usually wore.

Especially under the catalysis of alcohol, that charm from her bones was exuded without reservation.

"Not bad, you have a good tolerance."

Zhang Qi put down the glass in his hand, his tone very casual.

He looked at Sun Yiyao's somewhat unfocused eyes, a playful arc curling at the corners of his lips.

"Open the mini-program; I'll buy another bottle."

The light, airy sentence, falling into Sun Yiyao's ears, was no different from a thunderclap on a clear day.

Her brain, which had been somewhat groggy, instantly woke up a bit.

He really kept his promise; he was going to buy more!

He had already bought a fourteen-thousand yuan bottle earlier.

What else was he going to buy?

Would he buy something even more expensive?
