"Your Excellency is too kind. I was merely rambling, please do not take offense..."
Wang Wei quickly replied politely...
"Sir, don't be fooled by his honest appearance. He's incredibly cunning. On his very first day in the special operations brigade, he beat up the top soldier and even made a bet that the soldier would become his mistress. I wish I could just give him a good beating and send him to his grave..."
就在来这里之前，他还公报私仇的利用训练机会，把情敌揍了一顿…”
Gu Boshan said jokingly, which made Wang Wei a little embarrassed. He understood that Gu Boshan was ostensibly criticizing him, but subtly implying that Wang Wei was quite capable and a good fighter…
"Haha... No way, Xiao Wu. We forbid polygamy; these feudal dregs are absolutely forbidden..."
The head of state looked at Wang Wei meaningfully and said…
"I understand, kid. I definitely won't do anything reckless..."
Wang Wei has recovered from his initial nervousness and excitement, and is now able to speak to the head of state with neither servility nor arrogance…
"Your Excellency, do you know what kind of merit this kid used to get a free meal here?"
Gu Boshan looked at the head of state with a hint of smugness and asked…
The head of state clearly understood Gu Boshan's boastful intentions, but instead of exposing him, he asked with great interest.
"It's hard to guess. This young man is unpredictable and hard to fathom. But last time, two spies were exchanged for a free meal at a state banquet. Could it be that he's caught another spy this time?"
Upon hearing the leader's words, Gu Boshan immediately offered a subtle compliment.
"The leader truly lives up to his title; his foresight is remarkable. He even managed to guess this, and this time he managed to catch another high-ranking spy by sheer luck..."
Gu Boshan then recounted the story of Sakata Ichiro and shared his thoughts on how to deal with him going forward…
The head of state listened attentively, offering responses from time to time and providing guidance...
Wang Wei secretly gave Gu Boshan a thumbs up in his heart, thinking to himself, "Your flattery is truly masterful..."
"Young man, you're truly commendable. If we hadn't discovered these three spies in time, who knows how much damage it would have caused China. On behalf of the Chinese people, I thank you for your dedication and hard work..."
Wang Wei was thrilled; this was affirmation and encouragement from the head of state. He quickly responded politely.
"These are things that every Chinese person should do, and on behalf of the Chinese people, I wish the Head of State a happy birthday..."
These words brought a smile to the head of state's face; by this time, all the military leaders had arrived…
The head of state didn't say anything more, patted Wang Wei on the shoulder to encourage him, and then sat down in the main seat...
Gu Boshan led him to a corner. Wang Wei looked at Gu Boshan blankly when he saw the spot, thinking to himself that this spot was not only a corner, but also too casual.
The ten-yuan table was too small even to hold a computer, yet it still managed to fit two plates of food and a bottle of wine. Most importantly, there was no seat; it looked like he'd have to sit on the floor…
Gu Boshan wanted to see what Wang Wei would do. To Gu Boshan's astonishment, Wang Wei actually sat down on the ground, just like he was back in Northeast China sitting on a heated earthen bed, and even crossed his legs...
Gu Boshan said nothing more. Those attending the birthday banquet today were all high-ranking military officials; not only were the leaders of the five major military regions present, but important personnel from various other military regions were also there. He couldn't possibly stay here with Wang Wei…
Although they were in a corner, these military bigwigs shocked Wang Wei. The oppressive aura they exuded from their long-term high positions made it difficult for Wang Wei to breathe. If it were an ordinary person, they would probably be so excited that they would wet their pants. These were people he couldn't see anytime he wanted...
However, Wang Wei acted as if nothing had happened; his goal was simply to get a free meal, and he was content as long as he was full…
The head of state naturally said a few polite words; after all, with so many people celebrating his birthday with him, it wouldn't be right not to say something…
Then came the toasting ceremony. These military leaders' drinking capacity was truly remarkable; they toasted everyone in turn. If you really calculated it, it would take more than a pound of liquor to finish them off…
Wang Wei, on the other hand, went on a food-flavoring spree. These big shots, perhaps having had some drinks, gradually let loose...
"Ding! Birthday banquet free meal card successfully used, random reward: alcohol immunity!"
Wang Wei was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, what's the use of this ability? Can someone really attack me with alcohol?
"Hey young man, you're eating too loudly. You should punish yourself with a drink..."
Suddenly, a military region commander looked at Wang Wei and said…
Wang Wei, who had just gained immunity to alcohol, seemed to realize that he probably had to have a drink today…
"The commander of the Eastern Theater Command is right, I'll punish myself with a drink..."
Wang Wei didn't hesitate, picked up his glass and downed it in one gulp...
His actions were tantamount to stirring up a hornet's nest, and immediately a brigade commander said...
"Since you're here to freeload, shouldn't you offer everyone a toast according to the rules...?"
Wang Wei was taken aback, thinking to himself, "Do I even have the right to offer a toast? I thought I wasn't worthy..."
Seeing that Wang Wei did not respond, the brigade commander turned to Gu Boshan and said...
"Old Gu, your soldiers are no good. How come they became stupid after just one drink?"
"Haha... Don't you all know Old Gu? He's a junior here, so his soldiers naturally follow suit. No way..."
"Stop talking. Look how dark Old Gu's face has turned. Why are you spouting such blunt truths? Old Gu can't drink, but it's kind of satisfying to hear you guys constantly pointing out his weaknesses..."
Ha ha…
Everyone burst into laughter, and even the most composed head of state couldn't help but smile...
"You've gone too far. Wang Wei is still a college student, yet he single-handedly took down over a hundred thugs and even captured an important spy for China. He's a fine young man of the new era. So what if he can't drink? Is that a flaw? He's still better than those cowards you brought along, isn't he?"
Gu Boshan retorted without any hesitation...
"Who are you calling a coward? If you don't like it, let's have our two teams compete!"
One of the brigade commanders immediately objected, retorting, "What soldier can swallow their pride and admit they're inferior to others? Whether we can win or not, we'll only know after we fight..."
"Gentlemen, it's just drinking, I'll drink it, let's not ruin the harmony..."
Wang Wei quickly tried to mediate...
"Wang Wei, you're still a student. I know you usually don't drink at all, don't be a brat..."
Gu Boshan scolded, not wanting Wang Wei to embarrass himself...
"Young man, you're quite arrogant, daring to stand up and provoke so many of our generals..."
"I'm not trying to provoke you; I'm only offering this toast out of respect for you generals..."
Wang Wei said neither humbly nor arrogantly…
"Good lad, commendable courage. How about switching to a larger cup?"
The commander of the Eastern Theater Command looked at him and asked…
They're drinking from small cups now, each cup containing only five qian (approximately 15 grams), but the large cups are two liang (approximately 100 grams), four times the amount...
"It's okay if you don't dare, no one will blame you..."
The military region commander added this sentence…
