The Man In Rage novel Chapter 954

"Miss Chen Nan, was it? What a pretty sounding name. As pretty as your dancing. Let me propose this toast to you," said Abe Chuunan as he smiled faintly and looked at the beautiful lady in front of him.

He also instructed the waiter to give Chen Nan a glass of wine.

"I'm sorry, Mr Abe, but I don't know how to drink." Chen Nan kept shaking her head and said that she didn't drink.

But Professor An and his team immediately stared at her in shock.

Professor An glared fiercely at her, then ran up to help Chen Nan to resolve this situation.

"She knows how to drink, don't worry. Mr Abe is proposing this toast, so of course she knows how to drink! This child doesn't know how to say the right things, Mr Abe, I hope you won't take it to heart," said Professor An to Abe Chuunan with an ingratiating smile.

Then he turned to look at Chen Nan and whispered, "Nannan, you've already performed a dance, so why can't you just take this glass?"

"That's right, Nannan. One glass wouldn't kill anybody. Mr Abe is such an important man and he's toasting you personally, so it really should be your honor to receive it. How could you refuse it? You're so silly,” Kong Hui and Liang Hao-Nan helped to persuade her as well.

The hardest words to reject were always those from people you knew.

After Professor An and the other two egged her on, Chen Nan compromised.

"Alright then, I'll drink it." Chen Nan took the glass, grit her teeth, then drank the entire glass of wine down in one mouthful.

"Oh my, Miss Chen is a really decisive character,” laughed Abe Chuunan as he clapped.

Now that the dance was over and Chen Nan had accepted the toast, Professor An was ready to walk away. "Mr Abe, please continue entertaining your other guests, we won't hold you up anymore."

Abe Chuunan nodded. "Indeed. The three of you can leave, just leave Miss Chen Nan here with me.”

"What? Me?” Chen Nan was confused and didn't know why Abe Chuunan specifically wanted her to stay.

Professor An was rather curious as well and asked, "Mr Abe, do you need to ask Nannan about something else? She doesn't know much about our partnership, so you can talk to me directly if you need to ask anything."

Abe Chuunan waved his hands. "Tonight's party is just for fun and I don't want to talk about work. I admire Miss Chen very much and I would like to get to know her and befriend her. Also, I'm missing a companion to drink with. Miss Chen is quite suitable for this role, so I'd like her to stay here and accompany my godbrother for a drink." "Well, that..." Professor An's expression looked a little nasty at this.

"What's wrong? Not happy about this? Or you think we'll harm this student of yours?" asked Abe Chuunan with a frown on his face. His voice was colder than before too.

"I...I wouldn't dare to. But Nannan is young and immature, so I'm not sure if she would do a good job of accompanying you."

Professor An wasn't stupid and he could tell what Abe Chuunan was trying to do.

Abe Chuunan had clearly taken a liking to Chen Nan.

If he really let Chen Nan stay behind, nobody knew what else would happen later that night.

So even though Professor An was wary of the influence that Abe Chuunan had, he still tried his best to keep his voice down and attempted to take Chen Nan away with him.

Abe Chuunan picked up a glass of red wine and took a sip before continuing,

"That's a small matter. Accompanying others for some drinks doesn't require any special techniques anyway, so she'll get it in a minute."

"By the way, wasn't the budget for your project around $100 million or so? If it's not enough, I could get my assistant to add on another $100 million. How's that?"
