Chapter 1157 No Drinking
Now that Rachel had be the CEO of the Tarsan Corporation, Dustin thought he would never have
a chance to get close to her. Unexpectedly, he got a call from her earlier that afternoon. More so, they
also engaged in chatting, the content of which was quite seductive to him.
His mind started racing, not only for Rachel''s beauty but also for the Tarsan Corporation.
He thought it was the God that was willing to help him to strive for further improvement in his career.
"Mr. Zhang, you are too kind. With you being our senior, we should learn from you," Rachel said,
blushing. "May I excuse myself? I will just have a look over there."
"No problem. We''ll hang out some other day," he smirked. Dustin''s eyes lingered on Rachel, and not
until she was about to leave did he reluctantly retract his gaze.
"Sure. I just came back to Y City. It has changed a lot, and I feel like I have a lot to ask about. Please
don''t feel annoyed if I do," Rachel smiled. She was so charming and lovely, Dustin could not help
swallowing hard as he stared at her.
"Sure! Sure," Dustin responded unwittingly.
"Well, I have to go now. See you around," Rachel said grinning. Then she went over to the man who
had just entered the room with Holley.
"Rachel, what kind of person Dustin is? Do you know him well? Look at the way he looks at you!" In all
honesty, Holley disdained horny old men. But she would not say no to them if she needed something.
"Don''t judge him based on his appearance. His business is also an empire in Y City, just quite like the
Shining Company. So forget about his look." Rachel was helpless. Thinking about her own purpose,
she chose not to care so much about it.
"What about the one who just came in? Who is he?" Holley candidly inquired. She was not familiar with
all these businessmen.
"That is Lance from Silver Corporation. They''ve built up a fortune by doing film and television.
Currently, they are involved in different kind of fields, including real estate, hotel, tourism, and new
retail. His value is higher than Dustin''s. As long as we take them down, Charles will definitely be afraid
of us!" Rachel exined.
She had put in a lot of effort on these people. The others, however, were of no use to her. If they would
willingly give hands to Rachel, she would never be afraid of anyone in Y City!
"Oh! It turns out that he is Lance. I''ve heard of him, but I''ve never seen him in person." Holley nodded,
thinking of the probability that the Silver Corporation was the firstpany Rachel had worked for.
"Lance, it''s been a long time since Ist met you. Look at you! You look terrific," Rachel ttered. She
could not wait to greet the man opposite her.
Like Dustin, Lance was also an old man. His appearance though was quite okay, a way better than
Dustin, the greasy old man.
Although Silver Corporation started rtivelyte, Dustin held Lance in high esteem.
"Rachel, you are prettier than before. Not only that, but you are such a sweet talker!" Lance called her
affectionately by her first name. After all, she used to work for him.
"I am so pleased and happy that you still remember the time I once worked with you. I must have

caused you a lot of troubles because of my ignorance," she beamed.
"Ha! That was such a long time ago. It''s alright. I''m so d to see you right now. I can set my mind at
ease," Lance chuckled, with a demeanor of being her senior.
"Oh, forgive me. I am just so excited that I even forgot to offer you a seat. Let me show you the way. It''s
such a long time. You can never tell how d I am to meet you here," Rachel eximed.
"Okay, let''s go." Lance strutted towards the leather sofa in the private room. As soon as he settled
himself down, he waved his hand towards Rachel—a gesture of acknowledgment.
"Okay, Lance. I have to make a toast to youter. Thank you so much for guiding me in those years.
You really made me feel that I was appreciated," she dered, praising him. Rachel opted to humbly
not pale inparison with the Silver Corporation.
Being a tough woman herself, she basically understood when to yield and when not to. It didn''t matter
to her as long as she could achieve what her mind was set to do. And that was to take down Charles
and to humiliate Sheryl as much as she could!
The venue was packed with a group of people indulging loud conversations when a sudden feeling of
strong aura swarmed in, rendering them all speechless.
Lance, who was on the couch, immediately rose to his feet and nced at the door.
''Oh, it''s Charles!'', he thought.
As thest one to arrive, obviously, Charles was the king. He was someone of importance.
"Well, everyone is here? Then, let us take our seats,"
Charles offered, looking at the guests who were situated in the waiting area.
Soon after, he upied the host''s seat.
"Mr. Lu, we dare not to take seats without you. We would rather wait for you," someone ttered.
"All right! Don''t be so reserved. Let''s take our seats. It''s just a simple meal for us. It''s no big deal."
Polite as Charles was, his face exuded coldness.
The atmosphere was way more ufortable because of him.
Lance was apparently not afraid to say his piece. "Since Mr. Lu is here, let us all be seated. Mr. Lu is
quite busy. Let us get started. We will finish dinner in no time so that Mr. Lu can go home early and
have a rest."
The guests slowly settled themselves after they heard Lance''s words.
"Waiter, please serve the dishes. Hurry up." Holley said to a waiter who stood nearby her.
"Okay. The dishes will be served soon," the waiter nodded respectfully and ran outside.
"Mr. Lu, please let me propose a toast to you," Lance stated. He was trying to ease the atmosphere.
"I cannot drink today." Unexpectedly, he was rejected outright by Charles.
"Well... Since Mr. Lu cannot drink wine today, how about tea? This is Longjing tea. Please have a
taste?" Lance was a little bit embarrassed. Obviously, he could not force Charles to drink.
