Chapter 456 I'm Not Drunk
"Please keep the contract." Song Zhiyuan handed the contract to Xiao Zhang.
She took the initiative to step forward and shake hands with the other party, saying, "Director Sun, long time no see."
"We haven't seen each other for more than a year. Director Song, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming so that I could host a banquet for you? How about we do it now?" The man's eyes narrowed into a straight line with a smile.
Director Sun is the deputy director in charge of agriculture in their city. Song Zhiyuan had met him twice before and discussed cooperation several times.
"We came here for work and didn't want to disturb Director Sun, so we simply didn't inform him in advance.
Director Sun must have something important to do tonight, so we won't bother you any further."
Song Zhiyuan politely declined Director Sun's offer.
Before Song Zhiyuan left, Director Sun spoke again, "It's nothing serious. It's just a private dinner with friends in the department. It's a good opportunity for Director Song to come along and get to know each other. This way, we can get to know each other more often in the future. After all, we all work in the same place, so it's inevitable that we will run into each other in the future.
Knowing one more person is like having one more friend.”
Song Zhiyuan couldn't refuse Director Sun's enthusiasm and was taken all the way to their private room.
There were already several middle-aged men gathered around the table, but Song Zhiyuan was not familiar with these people.
Song Zhiyuan lowered her voice and said to Xiao Zhang who was following behind, "Send a text to Jing Mo, and tell him not to wait for us to go back for dinner tonight, as I have an appointment."
Xiao Zhang immediately nodded and left the private room.
Director Sun took Song Zhiyuan and introduced them to each other.
Song Zhiyuan greeted them with a smile.
Afterwards, Song Zhiyuan poured tea for everyone before sitting down at the serving table.
The man sitting at the head seat smiled gently and said, "Director Song has come from afar, so just drinking tea doesn't seem like our way of entertaining guests."
Hearing this, Song Zhiyuan's grip on the teacup suddenly tightened, "I'm not good at drinking, so we can just use tea instead of wine."
"How can this be possible? It will make us, the hosts, appear impolite."
The man at the main table waved to the waiter standing at the bar, "Go get those two bottles of Moutai I have in stock to entertain the guests."
"Since it is the high-quality Moutai stored by Minister Wu, there is no need to take it out and waste money. We can just drink some casually. There are no outsiders here, so how can it appear that Minister Wu has no hospitality skills?" Song Zhiyuan politely declined the other party's kindness.
"Director Song, you can't say that. You've come from afar, so we have to treat you well." Minister Wu gave the waiter a look.
The waiter immediately went to the counter to get the wine that Minister Wu had temporarily stored.
After the waiter brought the wine, Song Zhiyuan immediately stood up to get the wine jug and wanted to pour wine for everyone. As soon as he touched the wine jug, Director Sun stopped him and said, "Director Song, you are the guest today. Just sit still and let the waiter take care of those things."
Director Sun and the others are too enthusiastic today.
After being urged to drink again and again, she was afraid that she would not be able to refuse.
Song Zhiyuan picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a big sip after everyone's persuasion.
"Director Song, you have no integrity. How can you only drink half of a bottle? We drank it all, otherwise we would have poured another glass." Director Sun stared at the wine glass in Song Zhiyuan's hand, and a gleam of an old fox flashed in his eyes.
"No, no." Song Zhiyuan took a deep breath and drank the last sip of wine.
Song Zhiyuan couldn't drink much, and after drinking a glass of wine, he felt a little dizzy. He saw double when he looked at the people sitting opposite him, and it even seemed like each person had three heads that kept shaking.
Song Zhiyuan rubbed his forehead and shook it gently, and his head became much clearer.
Director Sun stared at Song Zhiyuan's increasingly unclear eyes, a smile curling his lips. "It seems Director Song's alcohol tolerance is not that good."
Director Sun then left the room and called in Xiao Zhang, who had followed Song Zhiyuan, and said innocently, "I originally wanted to have a drink with your director, but who knew your director couldn't hold his alcohol so well? He got drunk after just a little bit. Hurry and help your director back to the guest room to rest.
Remember to take good care of your director and make sure nothing happens to him."
"Thank you Director Sun for your instructions." Xiao Zhang picked up Song Zhiyuan's coat and bag that were on the back of the chair, swinging his arms back and forth, not knowing how to support Song Zhiyuan.
Finally, Xiao Zhang put his coat on Song Zhiyuan's shoulders and used his stiff arms to support her shoulders through the coat.
Xiao Zhang had just helped Song Zhiyuan out of the private room when he ran into Chen Jingmo who was striding towards him.
Chen Jingmo frowned and quickly took Song Zhiyuan from Xiao Zhang's hands. He naturally put his arm around her waist, letting her limp body lean against his shoulder. He lowered his voice and asked, "What's going on?"
"The director didn't let me in, but I heard that they seemed to deliberately get the director drunk." After explaining cautiously, little Zhang looked silently at Shen Jingmo who was standing beside him.
He could clearly feel the man's aura, as if he had fallen into a cold pond, and his aura was extremely depressed.
"Xiao Zhang, please go buy some hangover medicine." Shen Jingmo gave Xiao Zhang the money and said as Xiao Zhang was about to leave, "Please bring back some sour plum soup as well."
"Okay." Xiao Zhang waited for the elevator for a while, but the elevator didn't come down, so Xiao Zhang had to run downstairs.
Chen Jingmo picked up Song Zhiyuan horizontally and went straight upstairs after the elevator arrived.
In order to facilitate business discussions, they booked accommodation in the same hotel.
Shen Jingmo carried Song Zhiyuan all the way back to the guest room and carefully placed her on the big bed.
Then he went into the bathroom, wet a towel, and just as he was about to wipe his wife's face, he saw her sitting cross-legged on the bed, her eyes as bright as dazzling stars, not looking drunk at all.
He had never seen Song Zhiyuan act crazy when drunk before. He moved his fingers forward and waved them in front of Song Zhiyuan, but Song Zhiyuan immediately grabbed them and said, "Stop shaking. I'm not drunk."
After making sure Song Zhiyuan wasn't drunk, Shen Jingmo naturally sat beside her, wiped her soft fingers with a wet handkerchief, and asked curiously, "What's going on?"
Not long after he received the message from Xiao Zhang, he waited in the restaurant downstairs. He was afraid of being recognized and hesitated, not daring to go forward. After a while, he saw Song Zhiyuan being supported by Xiao Zhang and coming out of the private room.
Xiao Zhang also said that Song Zhiyuan was drunk.
Song Zhiyuan explained, "I'm not drunk."
Shen Jingmo groaned.
"I'm usually busy and don't have time to socialize. I just take care of my own affairs in the department. I'm just an acquaintance with these people, not close enough for them to invite me for a drink and open a few bottles of the best Moutai.
During this time, he kept urging me to drink. This is abnormal and there must be something wrong.
What's more, Director Sun is a classmate of my competitor. Not only are they classmates, they also have frequent private interactions.
This circle is so small, and information is shared. I don't believe that Director Sun didn't know that his classmate and I were competing for the same position, and he even treated his friend and competitor to a drink after knowing the situation. "
