Chu Yue received benefits from his wife, and now he works extra hard.
He led his men directly to the state-owned restaurant in the town. When Zhou Huatao saw that they were going to such a place, veins on his forehead throbbed and he felt a little reluctant.
I finally got a day off to meet my partner, but it was unlucky enough to meet two third wheelers.
Now he was dragged to such an expensive place to eat. He felt like a lamb to be slaughtered today and there was no escape.
Those two people, one was her cousin and the other was her cousin's husband. He definitely couldn't let them pay the bill in front of her, so he was destined to be the one who was taken advantage of.
The food here is delicious, but it is very expensive. He usually can't afford to come here to eat. It was only when there was a wedding in the family of a factory leader and he came to contribute that he ate here once.
As soon as the four of them entered, staff members came to greet them. Usually, not many people come here to eat, and they were very unhappy that four of them came at once.
Chu Yue looked at the special dishes on the blackboard in front of him and said with a smile, "One braised pork, one beef stew with potatoes, one chicken stewed with mushrooms, one scrambled egg with green peppers, and one fried tofu and vermicelli soup. That's all the dishes I'll order. For the staple food, I'll have rice and steamed buns, and a bottle of white wine and two bottles of soda."
Every time he mentioned a dish, Zhou Huatao felt like someone was stabbing him in the heart.
Wow, he's acting like a big shot here, ordering dishes without even having to pay any attention to the food. This meal cost him almost one-third of his monthly salary.
He, a man from a working-class family in the town, would not dare to eat like this, but he, a country bumpkin, was shameless enough.
Even if you have a mine at home, you can’t build it like this!
After the staff finished writing the names of the dishes, Chu Yue looked at Zhou Huatao with an innocent face and said, "What do you think? If it's not enough, can you add a few more dishes?"
Zhou Huatao resisted the urge to swear and cursed in his heart: Damn it, so many dishes are not enough to eat, are you a pig?
He took the menu and pushed it in front of Yang Nan, trying hard to force a smile on his face and asked, "Is there anything else you want to eat? If so, how many more can you order?"
Their factory now has a preferential policy. All married employees can be allocated an 80-square-meter house. Although it is in an old residential building, it is still a house, and it is free. Even if he doesn't live in it in the future, he can make money by renting it out. This opportunity is very rare.
Zhou's mother learned the news from the factory in advance. In order to get a share of the house, she tried her best to arrange a marriage for him and wanted to get married as soon as possible.
In the past, she looked down on country girls, but now that the situation was imminent, she was no longer picky and found Liu Lanxiang. The two of them got what they wanted and hit it off immediately.
Moreover, she had met Yang Nan several times before. Although her family conditions were not good, her appearance and figure were okay. She was not the kind of rustic country girl, and she was a good match for her son.
Originally, she thought that finding a country girl would be a matter of a few words, after all, their family was well-off. However, who knew that the girl's parents would be so hypocritical, saying that they wanted the two young people to spend more time together.
In the past, Zhou's mother would have quit long ago, but now she is afraid of missing out on this opportunity, so she asked her son to take a leave to meet the girl, so as to quickly settle the marriage and get married as soon as possible.
When he was leaving, Zhou's mother repeatedly told him to obey the woman in everything and try to leave a good impression so that things could be done quickly.
Yang Nan shook his head: "No thanks," and then asked Yang Liu: "Liu Liu, what do you think?"
"It's already very rich, big sister."
Seeing that they had reached an agreement, the staff took the menu away, but the wine and soda came up quickly.
Chu Yue first opened the soda and poured a glass for each of the two sisters. Then he picked up the bottle of white wine, looked at Zhou Huatao and said with a smile: "Last time at Second Aunt's house, we encountered an emergency and we didn't drink enough. Today we must not go home until we are drunk. You won't give me face, right?"
Yang Liu glared at Chu Yue and pretended to blame him, "Comrade Zhou is here to date Big Sister today. We're already embarrassed enough for ruining the party, and you're still pestering him to drink. If he gets drunk, how can he go on a date with Big Sister?"
Zhou Huatao thought to himself that he had never met anyone who could get him drunk. Since this person was so arrogant, don't blame him for being rude. He took the wine glass from Chu Yue's hand and said with a faint smile: "No problem. I finally met you today, so I will do my best to be a good host."
After the food was served, Yang Liu and Yang Nan were busy eating, while the two men were drinking back and forth. I don't know if they were planning to compete with each other in drinking, but a bottle of white wine was finished in a short while. Then Zhou Huatao got up and went to the counter to get two more bottles.
Yang Liu watched from the side with her eyelids twitching, feeling that Chu Yue had met a tough guy today. She also saw that Zhou Huatao had drunk several glasses but remained calm and walked without wavering. On the other hand, the guy next to him had a somewhat dazed look in his eyes.
Somehow, seeing Chu Yue like this, she felt a little secretly happy.
She knew how uncomfortable it was to be drunk, especially for those who couldn't hold their alcohol. When they vomited, their stomachs churned and they wished they could vomit out all the bitterness.
Chu Yue thought he could drink quite well, but compared to an old drunkard like Zhou Huatao, it was far behind. However, in order to complete the task today, he was determined to drink that guy until he revealed his true colors, even if it meant risking everything.
For the last two bottles of wine, Chu Yue acted completely like a rogue. He only took a small sip each time, but the man drank it in one gulp, so almost all of the two bottles of wine went into Zhou Huatao's stomach.
"Xiao Zhou, I heard that people who work in steel mills are not allowed to drink alcohol. How come you can drink so well? Do you have any secrets? Teach me so I can practice. I won't be embarrassed to lose to others every time."
Although Zhou Huatao has a good alcohol tolerance, people who are addicted to alcohol all have bad habits.
That is not worthy of praise.
After a few drinks, he felt a bit high, and with the compliments from the people around him, he naturally started to show off. He smiled, took a sip, waved his hand, and said proudly, "I'm not bragging, the person who can drink more than me hasn't been born yet. What secret is there to drinking? I just practiced my drinking. I drink every day, how can my drinking capacity be bad?"
Chu Yue patted his shoulder and said with a look of understanding, "Xiao Zhou, we've had a couple of drinks together, and we'll be a family in the future. I'm humbly asking you why you're always fooling people. Don't think I don't know, but you can't drink alcohol casually when you work at a steel mill."
It's easy to get into trouble.
Seeing that he didn't believe him, Zhou Huatao slammed the table and said confidently: "That's someone else. My father is Zhou Chenggang. I can drink however I want. Who dares to control me?"
