Chapter 291 You're so drunk you're practically a pig, and you still lean in there.
Zhou Mubin was entertaining guests over here. After several rounds of drinks, the sounds of drinking games in the private room were still ringing in his ears.
Just as Zhou Mubin finished downing a glass of baijiu, his cell phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated.
A drop of wine from his fingertips dripped onto his trousers. He frowned slightly, wiped his hands clean with a tissue, and then took out his phone.
He looked at it and saw that it was a picture Xie Nanzhi had given him.
Even without clicking on it, Zhou Mubin could recognize who the woman in the picture was.
The lighting in the photo is ambiguous. Cui Xiao sits on a carved wooden chair, holding a glass of red wine, the glass swirling with a blood-red arc of light.
Zhou Mubin knew that Cui Xiao had a high alcohol tolerance, but she blushed easily; her cheeks would turn pink almost the instant she touched the alcohol.
At this moment, she held her head high, the lines of her neck gleaming porcelain white under the warm light, and even the tips of her ears were so red they looked like they were about to bleed.
This is undoubtedly a scene that Zhou Mubin is most familiar with.
When the law firm was first established, he wasn't as famous as he is now. Almost all the legal counsel contracts for large companies were negotiated by Cui Xiao.
At that time, Zhou Mubin would take Cui Xiao with him wherever he went.
Cui Xiao was also very dedicated; whenever someone tried to get Zhou Mubin to drink, she would stop them.
Zhou Mubin also mentioned this matter, and Cui Xiao said that since she is a woman, those men wouldn't make things too difficult for her, and besides, these are all part of his job.
Gradually, he got used to it, used to Cui Xiao being able to solve his problems in any situation, used to relying on her in life, and used to having her by his side.
But now...
Zhou Mubin gripped the phone tightly with his fingertips, the sharp edges of the screen digging painfully into his palm.
He didn't understand what kind of mentality this was, but in short, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
The suppressed alcohol flared up suddenly, and his stomach felt like it was stuffed with a ball of scalding hot cotton, making it hard for him to breathe.
If Cui Xiao were around, she would never allow him to drink so much.
From inside the private room came the client's urging voice, "Attorney Zhou, where were we in our conversation?"
Zhou Mubin took a deep breath, trying to calm his burning anger. As for what the client said, he seemed not to hear it.
His deep gaze remained fixed on the screen as he replied with a few words: "Give me your location."
Xie Nanzhi was quite straightforward and sent her location directly.
The next second, Zhou Mubin suddenly stood up, startling the clients. "Attorney Zhou, what are you going to do...?"
Zhou Mubin was drunk but conscious. "Something came up, let's meet up next time. This meal is on me. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he turned and walked out of the private room.
Xie Nanzhi understood what President Hou meant.
The medication Wang Shufen is currently taking uses a cutting-edge global biotechnology, for which Wei Chizheng spent 1 billion yuan to purchase the patent rights.
When Mr. Hou learned of this news, he also wanted to use the technology. However, it was not worthwhile for him to spend 1 billion yuan to purchase the patent rights.
That's how they found Xie Nanzhi and wanted to discuss a collaboration.
Mr. Hou shared his plan, "Mr. Nan, I'm willing to offer 20% of my profits to cooperate with you. You don't need to invest anything; you just need to buy a technology stock. What do you think?"
When Cui Xiaodu mentioned a 20% profit margin, he was taken aback.
She subconsciously looked at President Hou. This was different from what had been planned at the beginning. On the way here, President Hou had said that he would take 40%.
Cui Xiao said frankly, "President Hou, I think..."
Before he could finish speaking, President Hou interrupted him, "Secretary Cui, your task today is to keep President Nan company."
Cui Xiao knew what President Hou meant, and she frowned slightly.
Mr. Hou is her boss, and it is her duty to protect the company's interests. But Cui Xiao also considers Xie Nanzhi a friend. Isn't this putting her in a difficult position?
However, given Xie Nanzhi's current status, she probably won't act impulsively.
Cui Xiao picked up the glass of red wine in front of her and took a sip. Before she could even drink it, Xie Nanzhi suddenly spoke up, "Okay."
President Hou's eyes lit up noticeably, while Cui Xiao's eyes widened.
She looked at Xie Nanzhi in surprise. Xie Nanzhi just smiled at her slightly. There was no exchange of words, but they both understood each other's thoughts.
President Hou laughed excitedly, "Haha, I love President Nan's straightforwardness. President Nan, how about this, I'll have Cui Xiao go to Nanzheng Group to sign the contract tomorrow."
Verbal promises are never as reassuring as written ones. If possible, President Hou would like to have Cui Xiao prepare the contract right now.
Xie Nanzhi: "Okay."
It was 20% lower than expected, but that's tens of millions in profit, real money. President Hou was happy and didn't need anyone to accompany him; he just downed a bottle of Moutai by himself.
Even the best drinker can't withstand this much drinking. Mr. Hou was so drunk that he couldn't even stand up straight.
However, he was genuinely happy, exclaiming excitedly, "President Nan, I knew you'd succeed! With such a grand vision, if you don't succeed, who will? Ugh..."
As he spoke, President Hou gagged, and Cui Xiao immediately supported him, saying, "President Hou, let me help you to the restroom."
Mr. Hou was swaying and could not stand steadily; almost half of his body was pressed against Cui Xiao.
Upon seeing this, Xie Nanzhi's expression changed, and she quickly followed to take Cui Xiao away.
Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open, and before Xie Nanzhi could even reach Cui Xiao's side, a tall figure rushed over in a flash.
The man yanked Cui Xiao away, and President Hou lost his balance and fell to the ground with a thud.
Then he vomited it out with a "whoosh".
This scene is disgusting to anyone who sees it.
Xie Nanzhi couldn't stand it anymore and ran out to find a waiter.
Mr. Hou was so drunk he was unconscious and vomited all over himself. Cui Xiao wanted to go forward, but Zhou Mubin's hand gripped her tightly like an iron clamp.
"He's completely drunk, why are you going over there?"
Cui Xiao looked at Zhou Mubin with a serious expression, "Let me go, this is my job."
Zhou Mubin, enraged, cursed, "Work my ass, come out with me."
Ignoring everything else, Zhou Mubin dragged Cui Xiao out of the private room.
When they came out, the restaurant staff had already arrived. Zhou Mubin coldly took out a wad of cash and gave it to them, saying, "Take this pig home, and the rest of the money is yours."
The two male waiters were initially unhappy to hear that someone had vomited on the floor while drunk, but when they saw Zhou Mubin's tip of at least two thousand yuan, they were overjoyed.
He eagerly took the money from Zhou Mubin's hand, saying, "Don't worry, it will be delivered safely to your home."
Zhou Mubin wouldn't let go, and Cui Xiao struggled fiercely. He looked at her and said, "Address."
Cui Xiao, "What address?"
Zhou Mubin sneered, "The address of this dead pig."
Cui Xiao then realized that Zhou Mubin wanted to give Hou Zong's address to the two of them so he could take him home later.
After Cui Xiao gave him an address, Zhou Mubin grabbed her and walked away quickly.
Cui Xiao couldn't keep up with his pace at all. "Lawyer Zhou, let go. I can walk by myself."
He didn't respond, so Cui Xiao raised her voice, "Zhou Mubin, are you deaf? Let me handle this, then let go."
The next second, Zhou Mubin suddenly stopped.
