Six bandits, oh, six big men, were busy gnawing on bones, looking very funny, as if all their thoughts were on the bones in their hands.

But if you look closely, you will find that although they all eat bones, their ways of eating are different.

Boss Li and his men devoured the food like crazy, not even sparing the marrow, slurping it up with sizzling sounds. Li Cheng and Zhang Dahe were a bit more refined; they were on the road, after all, so they had to be a bit more restrained.

So, the two of them ate very carefully and slowly. After Mr. Li and the others had gnawed the bones in their hands clean, Li Cheng and Zhang Dahe had only gnawed a small half of the bones in their hands.

At this time, Mr. Li glanced at everyone, then suddenly picked up the wine glass in front of him and said, "I'll toast to you."

Li Cheng and others quickly put down the bones in their hands and picked up the high-heeled glasses in front of them.

"Dry!"

After Mr. Li finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank the entire glass of white wine in one gulp.

Li Cheng had done this many times before: three or two glasses of wine, one gulp. However, that was always done with mental preparation and after having eaten something beforehand to fill his stomach.

Although I ate a few bites of meat, it was just a few bites after all.

Li Cheng looked at Mr. Li with a squint and thought to himself, if I had known you were going to do this, I would have eaten a few more bites of meat.

"Dry!"

Mr. Li's three subordinates also drank it all in one gulp.

Li Cheng knew that if he didn't finish the first glass of wine today, there would be no need to say anything else.

Li Cheng was not worried about himself. He glanced at Zhang Dahe. Although Zhang Dahe was a little confused, Li Cheng vaguely saw a hint of excitement on his face.

Looking at Meng Jianghong again, she looked completely dumbfounded. It was hard to say how much Meng Jianghong could drink, but when she was in a good mood, she could easily drink a pound of liquor.

But she was in a bad mood today, and she didn't chew on some bones beforehand to fill her stomach, so she probably would have passed out after drinking this glass of wine.

Li Cheng looked at her with a bit of sympathy, and she looked at Mr. Li with a look that said, "Are you kidding me?"

Mr. Li was indeed serious. He was a straightforward person and disdained the etiquette of the drinking table.

So, whenever he treated us to a meal, he would follow this pattern: eat as much as he could, drink as much as he could, and never play tricks on us, just trying to figure out if we were serious.

Li Cheng shouted "drink" first, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp...

Zhang Dahe also said "cheers", and then raised his head to drink...

It was Meng Jianghong's turn. She knew she couldn't avoid the drink and decided to die right here. Then she closed her eyes, tilted her head back, and gulped down three ounces of liquor.

At this time, Mr. Li's expression became very friendly. Not everyone who came to drink with him could drink three taels of strong liquor in one gulp as happily as Li Cheng and his friends.

At this moment, Mr. Li's men quickly refilled everyone's glasses with wine.

At this time, Li Cheng seemed to have understood Mr. Li's drinking style, and he looked at him with great interest to see how he would drink the wine next.

"Eat, eat!" Mr. Li said, picking up the spoon...

Meng Jianghong no longer tensed up, picked up the spoon and started eating.

But after only two bites, Mr. Li picked up the wine glass again and said "Cheers"!

This time, not to mention Meng Jianghong, even Li Cheng and Zhang Dahe cursed Mr. Li in their hearts.

But I still have to drink this glass of wine. If I don't drink it, it will be impolite. If I am impolite, I won't be able to discuss things with Mr. Li.

Oh my god, how long has the banquet started? I drank six ounces of strong liquor.

Li Cheng glanced at the opened bottle of wine and thought to himself, he didn't know how much Mr. Li could drink. If he kept drinking like this, the people on his side probably wouldn't be their match.

The four people on the other side were probably all heavy drinkers. Otherwise, Mr. Li wouldn't have called them over to drink with him. On his side, there were only two and a half people. After downing six ounces of liquor, Meng Jianghong was already showing signs of defeat.

Thinking of this, Li Cheng decided that instead of passively taking the beating, it would be better to take the initiative.

Even if the final result is a loss, at least it will leave a deep impression on the other party. This way, when you meet again, the other party will also weigh the weight of this side in their mind.

So, Li Cheng said, "Mr. Li, we have been cooperating for almost two years. I wonder if Mr. Li is satisfied with our service?"

Mr. Li turned to look at Li Cheng and suddenly said, "Drink this cup."

Li Cheng was stunned for a moment, but then he picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

He didn't ask for the reason, nor did he hesitate, which made Mr. Li feel a little embarrassed. So, Mr. Li had to answer Li Cheng's question.

"We are very satisfied with your service. Every time they come back from your place, they always say that you give us priority in handling their business."

As he spoke, Mr. Li looked at the person in charge of finance, and that person nodded.

Li Cheng asked again, "Since that's the case, since you're withdrawing cash so frequently, shouldn't you let us know in advance so we can prepare early?"

Li Cheng did not mention the decline in deposits because he always felt that it was a bit abnormal for the engineering company to withdraw tens of millions in cash in just a few days.

Mr. Li glanced at the finance officer, who said, "Oh!" and said, "Director Li, the situation is like this. Every year at this time, we have to pay workers' wages and equipment rental fees, as well as the debts owed by various partners. Therefore, the amount of funds mobilized is relatively large. Director Jiang knows about this matter, you can ask him."

Li Chengxin said, "If we hadn't come here today, I would have believed you. But I've already checked at the construction site. Whether it's your workers or the rented equipment, you've always paid them after the end of the month."

It's only the middle of the month, and you've already paid for last month's expenses. Now they say you want to pay for December's expenses. Isn't that a bit hasty?

This matter was too strange, but Li Cheng knew that if he asked any more questions, it would be embarrassing. The financial director had already said that Director Jiang knew about this matter, so why not ask Director Jiang?

Li Cheng was also drunk. He took out his cell phone and dialed Director Jiang's number directly.

After the call was connected, Li Cheng said directly, "Director Jiang, President Hou has concerns about the Expressway Engineering Company's recent large-scale cash withdrawals, so he sent Director Meng and me to the engineering company. Mr. Li and his team are here now. Can you tell us about their large cash withdrawals?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then the call was hung up.

Li Cheng smiled as he looked at his phone, then picked up his glass and said, "Mr. Li, let's not talk about this anymore. I know you haven't been home for a long time, and I'm sure you all miss home.

So, on behalf of our branch, I sincerely invite you all to visit our branch during the New Year. We can have a get-together to enhance our relationship, okay?"

After saying that, Li Cheng clinked glasses with them one by one, and then drank it all in one gulp.
