Rebirth: I Became a Financial Tycoon

A heavy hangover sent Li Cheng back to 1999. Facing people who were both familiar and unfamiliar, Li Cheng was indeed excited. "This is time reversal, my youth is back!"

Li Cheng deci...

Chapter 172 Wine is a good thing

Director Sun seemed to have accidentally revealed the secret of their visit, and President Gao looked at President Hou and then at Li Cheng.

We agreed to keep it confidential, and that it shouldn't be spread before a thorough investigation. So how come you told it to two unrelated people?

Seeing President Gao was a little stunned, Director Sun said, "The retirees writing letters to complain is no secret at all. Besides, President Hou used to work in disciplinary inspection, so even if he did tell, it wouldn't be a big deal."

President Gao looked at Li Cheng again and thought to himself, here is someone who has never worked in disciplinary inspection. It would be inappropriate for you to tell him about the investigation, right?

There is a bad tradition now, that is, whenever someone from the provincial branch comes to investigate something, the news always spreads widely in the city branch, as if someone is specifically trying to make fun of someone.

Therefore, whenever the superiors send people to investigate something, the city branch will generally keep it confidential to prevent irrelevant personnel from knowing about it and spreading unpleasant rumors.

Seeing President Gao looking at Li Cheng, Director Sun said, "It doesn't matter if he knows. The retirees' complaints are no secret. But there's another matter we've investigated that we need to discuss specifically with President Gao."

After saying that, Director Sun looked at Director Yang. Director Yang also nodded, thinking that if he didn't get to the point, Li Cheng would probably yell at him.

He now felt that Li Cheng was deliberately getting them drunk to force them to do things according to the plan.

After hearing what Director Sun said, President Gao was a little shocked!

As expected, these two men had other missions. Apparently, the investigation into the retiree's complaint was a lie, while their real purpose was to investigate something else. In other words, they were trying to catch two birds with one stone.

Although he was terrified, President Gao remained calm. Director Sun had said that they needed to have a special conversation, so no matter what the situation was, there was room for recovery.

It seems that today's wine was not drunk in vain! They finally told the purpose of coming here.

President Gao glanced at Li Cheng, then at the remaining wine in the crystal glass in front of him, and thought to himself that no matter what the outcome today, Li Cheng would be the main contributor.

Turning around, President Gao said, "Director Sun, Director Yang, let's talk about the communication later. Look, Li Cheng hasn't finished his third round of toasts yet. Should we continue?"

Sun and Yang nearly cursed when they heard this. Honestly, they couldn't drink any more. If they drank any more, they'd have to lie here for the rest of the day.

The two looked at President Hou as if for help, but saw that President Hou was already lying on the table.

Looking at Director Ji again, he was leaning back in his chair, obviously drunk.

It seemed that this third round of wine could only be drunk by these few people who could still barely sit still.

Sun and Yang looked at Li Cheng, wanting him to stop drinking. But before they could open their mouths, President Gao suddenly said in a huff, "You have to finish these three rounds of drinks today. Otherwise, we'll all be letting Li Cheng down."

After saying that, President Gao raised his glass and said, "Let's start with me. Cheers!"

President Gao drank the last glass of the third round of wine.

Li Cheng was actually a little dazed by the drinking. After seeing President Gao drink, he had no choice but to pick up the crystal glass and take a few gulps.

Now, Sun and Yang had no choice but to drink. However, Director Yang was honest and said to Li Cheng, "Li Cheng, we appreciate your kindness. Let's not drink one by one. Director Sun and I will drink a glass with you. But you can do whatever you want and don't have to drink it all."

How could it be so casual? Li Cheng held up the large wine glass, tilted his head back, and gulped down the remaining wine.

After seeing Li Cheng finish drinking, the girl in a long skirt who had been standing by Li Cheng quickly took the glass and put it on the other side.

Li Cheng sat paralyzed in the chair, grinning at President Gao.

Sun and Yang shook their heads, smiled bitterly and drank the wine.

At this moment, everyone at the table quieted down.

Anyone who still had some consciousness wanted to say something, but the alcohol was taking over and they just stared at the others and grinned foolishly.

President Gao was the most sober-minded among them, because he could drink a lot, and also because he always took the initiative at the table, letting this person drink and that person drink, while he himself avoided several glasses of wine.

President Gao knew that this was the best time to talk to Sun and Yang.

Truth comes out when drunk! But this truth must not be heard by others.

President Gao waved his hand and the girl in the long skirt hurried over.

"You, arrange for her, him, and him to have some rest." President Gao pointed at President Hou, Li Cheng, and Director Ji respectively.

The girl agreed and quickly went to find someone to help.

Li Cheng said drunkenly: "I'm fine, I can still drink------"

President Gao ignored him and glanced at Director Ji who came to join in the fun.

Alas! Compared to Li Cheng, you are so useless.

The girl in the long skirt is back, this time with three young men in red vests.

When Li Cheng saw her come in, he stood up shakily, looking like he was about to fall down at any moment. The girl in the long skirt walking in front saw this and hurried over to support him first.

The rest of the red vests helped President Hou and Director Ji up, and then followed the girl in the long skirt outside.

Li Cheng is tall, and although the girl in the long skirt is also nearly 1.7 meters tall, she is weak after all. Li Cheng's arm is on her shoulder, which makes her unable to straighten her back.

But after leaving the room, Li Cheng suddenly took his arm away. The girl felt relieved instantly, but still looked at him with some surprise.

Li Cheng pointed to President Hou behind him and said to her, "Just take good care of her. I'm fine."

After saying that, Li Cheng walked straight forward as if to prove that he was not drunk.

If I don't walk faster, I'm going to vomit here.

In the end, only President Gao, Sun and Yang were left in the room.

President Gao said, "There's no one else here. Two directors, could you please tell me where you went this morning?"

Director Yang had indeed drunk too much. He waved to President Gao, meaning that they would talk later.

President Gao waited for a while, but the girl in the long skirt didn't come back, so he stood up and poured a glass of water for both Sun and Yang.

Sun and Yang sat there, both squinting their eyes, as if they were about to fall asleep.

President Gao wasn't in a hurry. He looked at the two of them and said to himself, "If you don't explain yourself clearly, don't even think about leaving this door today. I can't tie you up here, but I can make you so drunk that you can't leave."

At this time, President Gao felt that he was also drunk, so he quickly sat back on his side, his eyes also bleary.

Wine is such a good thing! But you can't drink too much. If you drink too much, it will make you feel uncomfortable at best, and at worst, it will hurt your body, no, it will hurt your heart!
