Fill it up?
Several people at the table looked at Li Cheng in surprise.
The girl in the long skirt was a little confused. It was not that she was afraid of running out of wine, but that this crystal goblet was too valuable. If she used it to drink, she would be in trouble if something went wrong.
The girl looked at President Gao again. Although President Gao's expression was a little surprised, he seemed to have guessed Li Cheng's intention. He signaled the girl with his eyes to do as Li Cheng said.
"Gudong gudong gudong------"
A bottle and a half of red wine was poured into a crystal goblet.
At this time, people seemed to suddenly understand Li Cheng's intention. They looked at the amber-colored red wine, which was so tempting and pleasing to the eye, and thought that it turned out that the wine looked so beautiful when poured into the crystal goblet.
Several people looked at the wine glass filled with red wine in front of them and let out a slight exclamation of admiration.
"This red wine should be placed in a crystal glass like this." President Hou said happily.
"Yes, yes, this red wine seems to be more upscale when placed in here." Director Yang also said.
Just when everyone's attention was once again drawn to the goblet, Li Cheng suddenly said in a rather disheartening tone, "No matter how beautiful this wine is, it's meant to be drunk."
Several people looked at him again, and President Gao said with a smile, "Why, Li Cheng, are you planning to drink them all?"
Li Cheng smiled and said, "It's not impossible. It can be done with a little effort."
This is a bit scary. Although these people can drink a bottle and a half of red wine without any problem, they have to drink it slowly, sip by sip, or glass by glass, without realizing it.
Li Cheng is so good, he wants to eat a big man in one bite.
Except for President Hou, no one else knew Li Cheng's true alcohol tolerance. Although President Gao had heard that Li Cheng could drink, he had never had the opportunity to see him drink before.
Everyone at the table was interested, and Director Yang said, "Li Cheng, can you really drink?"
Director Sun also said, "Don't show off. It's not good to brag."
Only President Hou had a conscience. She turned to look at Li Cheng and said, "Li Cheng, you've already drunk quite a bit. If you drink any more, no one will carry you back."
Li Chengxin said, "Do I need you to carry me back? You can't see that President Gao has a good relationship with this place, and the environment here is also good. If you get drunk, someone will naturally arrange for you to rest."
Li Cheng smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, leaders. But don't misunderstand me, I didn't say to drink it all in one go. What I meant was that I would like to toast each of the leaders present. You can do whatever you want, but after I finish this round of toasts, I must finish this glass of wine."
After Li Cheng finished speaking, President Gao and the others were all stunned. Besides Li Cheng, there were President Gao, President Hou, Directors Sun and Yang, and Director Ji, who was just there for the show.
Five people, which means Li Cheng must drink the full crystal glass of wine in five sips or five times.
Even if you were a cow, you couldn't drink like this! These people all rejected this ridiculous way of drinking in their hearts.
But they admired Li Cheng very much, and felt that Li Cheng was indeed a real person who did not play tricks.
President Gao didn't want to miss the opportunity to get Sun and Yang drinking, but he also didn't want Li Cheng to be sacrificed. So, he looked at the people present and said, "See? You all saw it, this is the person I, and President Hou, trained. When he drinks, he's completely clueless!"
"Yeah yeah------"
The others all agreed.
President Gao added, "We can't bully honest people, can we? I think it's better to let Li Cheng drink this big glass of wine. After all, he's young..."
Isn't this bullying an honest person? Not only Li Cheng thought so, but several others also thought so.
"But we can't just have one drink. That would make us leaders look too petty. Let's have three. As the Book of Changes says, 'One begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things.' How about we drink three in a row?"
After President Gao finished speaking, he looked at Director Yang.
Director Yang glanced at Director Sun, meaning, "Can you still hold on if I drink three more cups?"
Director Sun is a few years older than Director Yang, but they both have similar alcohol tolerance and are the type of people who can drink heavily.
He looked at President Gao, then at the crystal glass filled with wine, and said, "Li Cheng is generous, and President Gao is kind-hearted. If we don't drink, we will be betraying their kindness."
As soon as Director Sun finished speaking, President Gao waved to the girl in the long skirt and said, "Prepare some wine!"
The girl in the long skirt quickly took a few more bottles of wine from the wine rack and then went out------
Less than a minute later, the girl returned, followed by the man in the red vest. The two began uncorking the bottle, while the others at the table remained silent.
Everyone knew that after this round of drinking, the banquet would be over.
What needs to be said should be said quickly, and what needs to be expressed should be expressed quickly.
After the wine glasses in front of President Gao and the others were filled, Li Cheng carefully picked up the crystal glass.
"Girl, this is very expensive, right? If it breaks, will I have to pay for it?"
The girl just smiled and helped Li Cheng hold the bottom of the cup with both hands.
As everyone was laughing, Li Cheng looked at Director Yang and said, "Director Yang, thank you for taking the trouble to come here. The first toast is to you!"
After saying that, Li Cheng put his mouth close to the rim of the cup and took a big gulp.
Director Yang drank it all in one gulp, followed by Director Sun, then President Gao, Director Ji, and President Hou.
After one round of drinking, about one-third of the wine in the crystal glass was gone.
The faces of the people at the table were even redder than before.
Li Cheng strikes while the iron is hot and starts the second round of drinking------
After the second round of drinking, President Gao felt that it was time to say a few words.
"There's still one more cup. Let me make a small interlude first."
Everyone acquiesced, and President Gao said, "How about eating something first? We can't waste such fresh seafood!"
Everyone laughed, but their stomachs were so full that they couldn't eat anymore even if they wanted to.
President Gao symbolically ate a little, then said, "Director Yang, Director Sun, I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble this time. I made you come all the way from the provincial capital. On behalf of the city branch, I want to apologize to you."
Director Yang had also drunk a bit too much, and when he heard President Gao's apology, he complained, "President Gao, you're being so awkward. We're not friends anymore. If I hadn't come here, how would I have known Li Cheng was with you?"
President Gao glanced at Li Cheng, whose face was red and his neck was thick, and then said with a smile: "Yes, it seems that this is a bad thing that has turned into a good thing."
"Hmm? What bad thing? President Gao, you can't take something like filing a complaint as a bad thing!"
Director Sun, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said this.
