The saying goes, if you can't beat them, join them; if you can't resist them, learn to enjoy the experience.
The three of them couldn't outdrink Hou Baolin and Wu Di, so they joined their ranks to try and get Peng Tian drunk.
Seeing this, Min Yuehua tried to stop him several times, but Peng Tian stubbornly insisted that it was nothing.
The atmosphere seemed cheerful on the surface, but those in the know understood that beneath the cheerful surface lay something eerie.
Tao Qiuyan couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Baolin, Wu Di, stop drinking so much and eat more vegetables. It's a waste to leave so much food uneaten."
Hou Baolin and Wu Di exchanged a glance, then looked at Ye Beiping. They had no choice but to heed Tao Qiuyan's advice and temporarily abandon their attack plan.
With the two men giving up, Jiang Hai and the other two couldn't say anything and stopped offering toasts.
Once he recovered, Peng Tian's face was as red as a monkey's bottom.
The wine glasses weren't big, but Peng Tian drank six or seven glasses in one round, which was already his limit.
Seeing this, Min Yuehua picked up two pieces of food and gave them to Peng Tian.
"This kid, why is he so honest about drinking? He should eat something to fill his stomach."
This gesture caused both Ye Beiping and Su Xinyi's eyes to darken.
Peng Tian was a little dizzy and didn't notice the expressions on their faces. He could only smile and reply, "Thank you, Auntie. It's okay. I'm happy today, so it's fine to drink more."
"That's good." Min Yuehua smiled, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "Peng Tian, I heard that your father has started working in the municipal party committee?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed.
Even someone as composed as Su Qingwen looked at Min Yuehua and Peng Tian with surprise.
Peng Tian's family and Su Xinyi's family live on the same street. Although they don't live in the same neighborhood, they attend the same school.
The elementary, middle, and high school education all took place at the same school.
Su Qingwen also knew about Peng Tianjia. He originally worked in the district, but unexpectedly, he was transferred to the municipal party committee in the blink of an eye.
Peng Tian was a little dizzy, and without thinking much, he nodded in response.
"Yes, my dad just received a transfer order this month to the municipal party committee to serve as the deputy director of the organization department."
hiss!
Those who heard this gasped in shock.
Even Tao Qiuyan and Ye Xiaoxin, who were unfamiliar with political positions, were taken aback.
They felt that people who could work in the city must be important figures whom they could never even meet.
Only Ye Beiping squinted at Peng Tian, observing whether the other party was really drunk or deliberately saying these things to prove his powerful status.
Ye Beiping really didn't take the title of vice minister to heart.
Law-abiding people have absolutely no reason to be afraid of officials.
Besides, Jin Aiguo, a leader whose position is only a few levels higher than a deputy minister, has never been afraid of anything, so why would he be afraid of a deputy minister?
Hou Baolin and Wu Di, however, looked at Ye Beiping with uncertain eyes, as if asking whether the plan should continue.
Upon hearing these titles, the two couldn't help but worry that going after Peng Tian might cause trouble for Ye Beiping.
Ye Beiping did not respond to the two of them. Instead, he picked up his chopsticks and served food to Su Xinyi, his face slightly gloomy.
Noticing Ye Beiping's face, Su Xinyi pursed her lips and placed her hand on Ye Beiping's thigh.
As the warm sensation spread, Ye Beiping raised an eyebrow and looked up, only to meet Su Xinyi's pure and indifferent face.
After spending some time together, he naturally realized that Su Xinyi was trying to boost his confidence.
However, Min Yuehua became excited when she heard that Peng Tian's father was already a vice minister.
"Um, Peng Tian, so that means your dad became a vice minister, and that's when you returned to the city?"
"Mmm." Peng Tian, his head still spinning, nodded unconsciously.
The next second.
Bang!
With a thud, everyone saw Peng Tian lying flat on the ground.
Apart from Min Yuehua and Tao Qiuyan who went forward to help, everyone else remained seated.
"You...you guys come and help!" Min Yuehua couldn't drag Peng Tian away no matter how hard she tried, so she could only ask the dining table for help.
Everyone looked at Ye Beiping without prior arrangement.
Ye Beiping then gave Hou Baolin and Wu Di a look.
The two men immediately understood his meaning: to proceed according to the original plan.
One of them lifted Peng Tian up on each side, and Hou Baolin said to Min Yuehua, "Auntie, I think he's drunk too much. Fatty and I will take him home."
"Yes, yes, yes."
Wu Di nodded repeatedly and smiled at Min Yuehua: "Don't worry, we will definitely get him home safely."
Without waiting for Min Yuehua's reply, the two of them grabbed Peng Tianfei and ran out the door quickly.
In an instant, the entire dining table seemed to have been empty of Peng Tian, and everyone started chatting and laughing again.
Min Yuehua would occasionally say to Su Qingwen, "Look, Peng Tian's father is now a vice minister. He's risen so fast!"
Su Qingwen sighed, thinking about his work, and sighed heavily.
"Yes, going directly from the district committee to the municipal committee is already a leap in rank, and now you're a vice minister, which is probably a leap of three or four ranks."
"Dad, Mom." Su Xinyi frowned and called out as she watched the two of them talking about plastic surgery. She added defiantly, "It's their business if they can skip grades. They go into politics and we go into business. We don't have much in common to begin with. Don't try to curry favor with them. Things have finally been peaceful at home for a while. Don't cause any more trouble."
As a daughter, she shouldn't have said such things.
But seeing the gleam in Min Yuehua's eyes, Su Xinyi quickly understood and had to speak up to remind her.
