Very soon, Song Yaling heard footsteps.
Turning her head, Song Yaling saw Guo ng return, looking quite anxious.
As soon as she saw him, Song Yaling heard his slightly nervous explanation.
"Master Xiaobei, there was a slight delay in the kitchen earlier, but I’ve inford them now, and the dishes will start coming out soon."
Hearing his nervous explanation, Hu Xiaobei glanced at him, "Is that so!"
"Yes!"
After saying this, he glanced at the three boxes of white liquor on the ground.
Following that, Guo ng quickly said, "What are you waiting for, the dishes are coming soon, pour a drink for Master Xiaobei!"
"Hm? Right!"
The people agreed, quickly dismantled the packaging, and then swiftly picked up a bottle of white liquor.
Seeing this, Song Yaling smiled lightly.
After that, Song Yaling took another sip of the white water from her cup.
Song Yaling knew the show was about to begin.
Subtly, Song Yaling retreated a little bit.
She was worried that if she didn’t step back a bit, she might be knocked out by the overwhelming sll of alcohol later.
Having mingled in the business world for so many years, Song Yaling’s alcohol tolerance was never great. So, at this mont, she did not co closer, but chose to move back.
Usually, if she stepped back like this, others would notice!
But right now, only Hu Xiaobei noticed her peculiar change...
Hu Xiaobei understood why she retreated but didn’t point it out; he just watched Guo ng picking up a bottle to pour him a drink.
"Guo, my alcohol tolerance isn’t really good, how about we just take it easy?"
Throwing a glance at Guo ng, Hu Xiaobei swiftly spoke.
Upon hearing Hu Xiaobei’s words, Guo ng waved his hand, saying, "Master Xiaobei, it’s our first eting; we have to drink to our heart’s content. Don’t worry about anything; there are several floors of guest rooms below. If you get drunk, you can sleep right here."
"Well... you really thought of everything!"
"That’s to eliminate any worries for you!"
"Indeed!"
Hu Xiaobei laughed!
Seeing Hu Xiaobei’s smile, Guo ng felt more anxious...
They knew Hu Xiaobei could now let loose even more crazily.
After all, they had sowhere to settle these people later.
...
Soon, the cold dishes started coming out!
Because they were carefully selected by Guo ng in the kitchen earlier, the cold dishes looked truly perfect in every aspect.
Looking at them, Song Yaling saw Guo ng stand up.
"Master Xiaobei, the dishes are here; shall we drink the cup of liquor first?"
"Well... it’s just the cold dishes now, isn’t it too much to drink this way?"
"No problem! There’s plenty of liquor."
"If that’s the case, alright! But first, let say, my tolerance isn’t particularly great, so if I can’t hold on later, you shouldn’t make fun of !"
"Don’t worry, we definitely won’t."
"Hmm!"
...
"It’s starting!"
When Hu Xiaobei raised his glass, Song Yaling knew everything was starting...
With a gentle smile, she hugged her shoulders...
Soon, she saw the dishes being served one after another...
Every ti a dish was served, Guo ng and others would find an excuse to drink alone with Hu Xiaobei.
Indeed!
It’s a relay drinking battle!
Each person took turns to face off.
Hu Xiaobei always gave so polite excuses, expressing he really couldn’t drink anymore.
After expressing, Hu Xiaobei would drink it all in one go every ti.
At first, they thought Hu Xiaobei was just drinking intensely, and once the alcohol kicked in, he wouldn’t hold up!
But later, they found it wasn’t the case; Hu Xiaobei had already drunk seven or eight glasses and was still holding up!
"What is going on here? Didn’t he say he couldn’t handle liquor?"
Exchanging glances, they saw the astonishnt in each other’s eyes.
At this point, Guo ng felt like a thousand wild horses were rampaging through his heart!
Really!
He was completely stunned now!
Before, he really thought everyone here could outdrink Hu Xiaobei.
So he thought implenting a relay drinking battle would surely win!
But now, he realized he might have overestimated things a bit.
After drinking seven or eight glasses, Hu Xiaobei was still unflustered.
"These people now finally start realizing their mistake, but it’s a bit late now!"
Seeing everyone’s expressions begin to change, Song Yaling’s lips curled into a slight smile.
She knew now everyone truly realized that Hu Xiaobei wasn’t sothing they could easily handle.
But realizing doesn’t help much.
Because they’ve now fallen into a pit dug by Hu Xiaobei.
"I really sympathize with them! But there are rooms downstairs, sparing them the embarrassnt of being carried away."
Thinking this, Song Yaling picked up a cut piece of waterlon, enjoying it cheerfully.
...
"Looks like they’re starting to feel uneasy now!"
Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei stood up.
As they saw Hu Xiaobei stand, they suddenly beca slightly flustered.
At this mont, they heard Hu Xiaobei lightly saying, "My alcohol tolerance still isn’t great; feeling a bit dizzy. You guys should be fine, right?"
"Yes, we’re fine!"
Though their heads were clouded, they gave an insincere wave pretending to be unfazed.
"Since you’re fine, let’s drink this glass together, to our successful future collaboration!"
"This..."
Looking at the full glass of white liquor, their eyes twitched.
"What’s the matter? Can’t handle it?"
"How could it be? Since Master Xiaobei said so, we’ll definitely drink together!"
"Then let’s begin!"
Speaking, Hu Xiaobei quickly downed his drink in one go.
"Whoa!"
Seeing Hu Xiaobei drink it all again, they began to suspect if it was just water in Hu Xiaobei’s cup.
In their minds, even if it was just water, it shouldn’t be drunk this swiftly!
"Now it’s your turn!"
Hu Xiaobei placed down his cup, looking at them with an indifferent expression.
"Fine!"
Gritting their teeth, they quickly started drinking too.
...
A minute later, after seeing everyone finish, Hu Xiaobei picked up the liquor bottle, saying, "Good things co in pairs; good liquor should also be enjoyed twice. Now, I’ll pour you another; let’s drink this cup again!"
After hearing Hu Xiaobei say he would pour them drinks, they quickly shook their heads vigorously.
"Master Xiaobei, how could we let you pour us drinks!"
"Exactly!"
They knew Master Xiaobei was like their life-saving benefactor, so naturally, they couldn’t let him pour drinks for them...
Hearing their firm refusal, Hu Xiaobei chuckled, indifferently replied, "If that’s the case, pour it yourselves; I’m waiting!"
While saying this, Hu Xiaobei picked up the liquor bottle again, smiling as he looked at them...
