Chapter 575: Venting
"Mr. Sui doesn't drink?"
Suddenly, a cold male voice came from my ear.
Sui Zhongyuan immediately looked up and went to greet him. Perhaps he hadn't expected Ji Chuan to initiate a conversation with him, and he looked flattered. "To be honest, it's not that I can't drink, it's just that I really can't help myself. I damaged my body a few years ago, and the doctor told me that if I drink for another year or two, I'll become paralyzed. I really don't dare to drink anymore. It's a rare opportunity to see you today, otherwise, I would have to clink glasses with you no matter what."
Ji Chuan nodded, a thoughtful look on his face: "Does this mean that if you drink tonight, you might not be able to get out of bed tomorrow?"
Sui Zhongyuan was obviously stunned, and his insightful eyes fell on Ji Chuan's face and stayed there for a full ten seconds, as if trying to figure out whether he was really just asking about his condition or hinting at something.
After all, it was his first time meeting Ji Chuan, and he really had no idea what he was doing.
The other people present were all shrewd people. Ji Chuan's words were obviously ironic. He was simply blaming Sui Zhongyuan for using his poor health as an excuse to avoid drinking.
"That's an exaggeration, Mr. Sui. You're so tough that you can even go through so much trouble with a girl in her early twenties. How can you collapse after drinking a few more glasses of wine?"
"Yeah, Mr. Sui is obviously not sincere today. He dragged a woman to be his scapegoat? You are not in good health. At our age, who doesn't have some health problems?"
This time, Sui Zhongyuan was pointed out the way by the people around him. It's not that he can't drink. If he can really handle a case worth hundreds of millions of yuan by drinking a few glasses of wine, he will be very happy.
Taking the wine glass from the waiter, Sui Zhongyuan said sincerely, "Mr. Ji, today is the first time we meet. I'm going all out. Even if I really can't get out of bed tomorrow morning, I'll still toast you with this glass of wine."
Ji Chuan also took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray and clinked his glasses with his. He smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Sui has worked so hard for the development of the company that it's truly remarkable. Don't you think this spirit is worthy of admiration?"
Although the woman beside him didn't know how Mr. Sui had offended him, she clearly sensed that Ji Chuan disliked this person. Ji Chuan never liked to show off and seldom targeted anyone in social situations, unless that person really infringed upon his interests and made him unhappy.
Sui Zhongyuan had just finished a glass of wine when a female voice rang out beside him, "Mr. Sui's fighting spirit is truly admirable. Mr. Sui, this is our first meeting. I'm Wei Wei from the Dongchuan Office."
Sui Zhongyuan immediately picked up another glass of wine and clinked it with the short-haired, red-lipped woman in front of him. "I've heard a lot about you, Lawyer Wei. I didn't expect you to be so young and beautiful. I thought you were Mr. Ji's girlfriend."
Wei Wei took a sip of wine, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, and asked with a half-smile, "Why do you think that a girlfriend can only be a tool to stop the alcohol?"
These words were full of sarcasm. Wei Wei thought that she had hurt Sui Zhongyuan and that Ji Chuan might be happy. She turned her head and looked at him with a faint smile, but she did not see him turn around and look at her. There was no trace of a smile on his dull face.
But her words made everyone around them hear their hostile attitude towards Sui Zhongyuan.
One after another, people followed and raised their glasses to toast Sui Zhongyuan. Sui Zhongyuan also understood that he was being targeted, but at the moment, he could not offend these people and could not refuse at all.
He couldn't remember how many cups he had drunk. His legs began to stagger and his head felt dizzy. Finally, he retreated from the crowd in embarrassment and took out his cell phone to call Xu Hui.
