"My intention is to reach an agreement with your group on the wheel hub business for the Nuclear Car. I kindly ask President Li to take some time to visit and evaluate us.
I mentioned earlier, I'm a straightforward person, so I won't say much in terms of gratitude—it's all in the drink. President Li, here's to you, I'll finish this in one go."
This remark, in fact, wasn't problematic at all; it just wasn't suitable for the current setting.
In a different setting, saying something like this wouldn't seem out of line, no matter who was present.
After all, the words were quite polite, and even if the counterpart were the vice president of the Nuclear Group, this wouldn't be considered rude.
However, in the current situation, it was indeed inappropriate.
This wasn't due to the fact that it was a celebration party.
Rather, just earlier, Li Huiqun had clearly expressed that he wouldn't allow his subordinates to drink.
