"Come on, let's continue!" Liu Yuan picked up the wine bottle again.
In just a short while, Wei Guodong's face had turned red all the way to his neck. Looking at Liu Yuan, the redness on his face had completely faded. His face had turned deathly pale, but his eyes were bright.
The people accompanying him were all from the sales department, and they all knew Wei Guodong's drinking capacity. Fearing he would suffer, several of them jumped out and offered to drink the last glass for him.
Liu Yuan proudly waved the bottle of wine in his hand, "You can change it. It's our custom that I'm the guest, so I get one cup and you get three. Let's drink three times in a row, and you can change it to whoever you want."
He drank three cups in a row, meaning he'd have to drink nine for Wei Guodong. As soon as he said that, no one at the table dared to continue. This wasn't drinking; it was playing with fire.
“How about this,” Liu Yuan suddenly looked at Xu Keke with ill intent, and placed Wei Guodong’s cup in front of Xu Keke, “If Section Chief Zeng is going to substitute, then we’ll have a cup.”
"No need for help, I can do it myself!" Wei Guodong reached out to take it, but Xu Keke stopped him.
"I'll drink it,"
The people in the factory were getting anxious, but Xu Keke waved to them, signaling them not to worry.
“However, I’m a germaphobe and can’t share a cup with other people.” Xu Keke pointed to the white porcelain cup in front of her that held tea.
"My cup is different from yours. I'll go ask the waiter for another one."
Xu Keke stood up, and Lao Wang from the sales department next to her also stood up. "Section Chief Zeng, let me get it for you."
As Xu Keke walked, she said, "Perfect timing. I'll go get the glasses, and you go get a few more bottles of wine. We must make sure Master Liu has a good drink tonight."
Seeing Xu Keke's generosity, Liu Yuan pointed at Wei Guodong and said, "See? I knew it! Every woman who becomes a section chief is a heroine! Your Section Chief Zeng is truly a hidden talent!"
A short while later, Xu Keke returned with an enamel mug, just like theirs. She didn't sit down, but stood by the table near the entrance.
Then, Old Wang also came in carrying four bottles of liquor. As soon as he entered, he said...
"That wine is all gone. How about we drink Erhe wine from here? It's a bit stronger, but it tastes good."
"It doesn't matter what you drink," Xu Keke said nonchalantly, taking a bottle from his hand and telling Lao Wang, "Fill up Master Liu's glass."
Old Wang agreed, then went to Liu Yuan and filled his glass.
"I won't go over there; I have things to do at the factory. On behalf of the factory leaders, I'd like to offer Master Liu three toasts. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future. I'll drink this first as a sign of respect. You can decide what to drink!"
After Xu Keke finished speaking, she filled her glass with wine, and mimicking Liu Yuan's earlier actions, tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp. Then she filled it again, and drank three glasses in a row.
When there wasn't enough wine, she opened another bottle.
She, a woman, was fine with it, so Liu Yuan wasn't going to be outdone and picked it up to drink. Just as Old Wang had said, this wine was much stronger than the previous one.
After downing the cup, Liu Yuan couldn't hold on any longer and covered his mouth, about to vomit.
The sales staff quickly helped the person out.
After everyone left, Wei Guodong's gaze towards Xu Keke was no longer just one of shock, but also one of admiration.
Xu Keke shook her head, picked up the wine bottle, poured the remaining wine into his glass, and said, "Alright, have some water."
"This is...water?"
That's right, it's just water. Xifeng used all sorts of methods to help her cool it down at the factory; it's a thermos of cooled boiled water.
This was based on Director Du's experience; even the empty water bottles were provided by Director Du, and Xu Keke never expected to be able to use them.
“This guy surnamed Liu is no good. We need to be careful when cooperating with him. Make him stamp the contract first, and also see if we can get him to pay a deposit before we start production.”
