How can you ascend to heaven when you are a star?

Chapter 162: Xuan Er

Zhang Wen doesn't know any entertainment tycoons or capital giants, so when it comes to attracting investment for the new drama, all he can do is block the wine for Bai Lu and protect our leading female actor.

Besides, he couldn't bear to watch a woman being forced to drink because of his selfish desires.

So, without any hesitation, he tilted his head back and drank it.

"Gudong, Gudong!"

The spicy liquid entered his mouth, stimulating Zhang Wen to shiver involuntarily. As for the aroma of the sauce, the sweetness, and the softness, he had no idea what it was.

Suddenly, it was as if I was back in the days of serving drinks on behalf of others. I felt… huh? Why didn’t I feel anything?

Zhang Wen looked at the empty wine glass and felt a little confused for a moment.

In the past, when he drank alcohol, he would feel a burning sensation in his stomach, which was very uncomfortable. But now, he didn't feel anything in his stomach. If it weren't for the taste of white wine in his mouth, he would even suspect that he had just drunk a glass of water.

what's the situation?
Could it be that he drank too much and his stomach was anesthetized by the alcohol?

It shouldn’t be!

Zhang Wen looked at the Maozi on the table. It was not like he had never drunk this kind of high-end liquor before when he was drinking on behalf of others, but the feeling was completely different from that time.

Is it fake wine?
Not too possible!

One of them is a coal boss, who thought he was a big star. Why would he sit here and drink fake wine?

Moreover, what kind of fake wine is so magical that it tastes good in the mouth but leaves no taste in the stomach?
He had tried dozens, if not hundreds, of liquor when he was drinking on behalf of others, but none of them gave him the same feeling as he did now.

Since it has nothing to do with alcohol, could it be a stomach problem?

He thought of the fairy peach and the recent changes in his body. It was not impossible for him to have a copper intestine and an iron stomach.

Forget it, I don’t want to think about it anymore. Anyway, considering the current situation, this is not a bad thing.

However, in the eyes of other people in the private room, Zhang Wen's doubts turned into a sign of discomfort. He was so uncomfortable that he frowned. He was so uncomfortable that he didn't want to move at all after drinking, and he would feel pain if he moved.

Bai Lu's eyes were full of worry. In her opinion, the other party was a well-mannered teacher who was not suitable for such a drinking party, and he didn't know how to drink.

The reason I drank was entirely for her.

"Teacher Zhang……"

Bai Lu suddenly stood up, took the wine glass from Teacher Zhang, turned to look at Wu Defa beside him and said, "Mr. Wu, Teacher Zhang can't drink. Let him explain the script to you, and I'll drink with you."

Wu Defa grinned. "Miss Bai, a man shouldn't say no. Since Teacher Zhang has agreed to compete with Secretary Liu, how can he go back on his word? Unless Teacher Zhang surrenders." He looked at the young man and asked, "Teacher Zhang, do you surrender?"

Zhang Wen came back to his senses, took the wine glass from Bai Lu, and said with a smile: "Boss Wu is right, a man can't say no. Do you think we can compete now?"

Wu Defa gave a thumbs up and said, "I like people who are straightforward like Teacher Zhang, but we can't compare now because we had already drunk three cups before you came, and Teacher Zhang, you only drank one. You still need two more, right, Miss Bai?"

Bai Lu frowned slightly. If she remembered correctly, she and the man surnamed Wu had been drinking just now, and they had only drunk two glasses.

As for the female secretary, she was in charge of pouring the wine but she didn't drink a single sip from beginning to end.

But can she say it?

No!

If you offend others, will they still invest?
You know, it's not easy to find a coal boss as wealthy as Boss Wu in Beijing. She had to use a lot of connections to get him, and she didn't want to give up just like that.

When Zhang Wen saw Bai Lu's expression, he immediately knew that the man surnamed Wu was lying, but for the sake of investment, he couldn't say it out loud even if he saw through it.

Who put the money in the other person's pocket?
It's normal to want the other person to pay for a few drinks. I've seen this happen too many times when I was drinking on behalf of others, and I'm used to it.

Any deal that can be done without drinking is a small deal!
"Two cups, no problem!"

After Zhang Wen finished speaking, he picked up a bottle of Maotai and filled it up for himself.

The second cup...

The third cup...

He tilted his head back and drank without hesitation.

Since you have to drink anyway, you might as well drink it quickly and leave a good impression on your boss. Being sneaky will only backfire.

"Mr. Wu, is it okay now?" Zhang Wen asked Wu Defa while turning the cup over.

He was in great shape tonight, he wasn't going for a two-on-two, he was going for a one-on-two.

Wu Defa was stunned when he saw this. He didn't expect that Teacher Zhang was so strong. Three cups were six taels, and he could continue to compete after drinking three cups in a row. This was not the level of someone who could just drink a little.

A person's drinking habits reflect his character, and he really likes his partner's attitude.

"Secretary Liu, compete with Teacher Zhang." Wu Defa looked at the female secretary beside him and said, "You represent the company, so don't bring shame to it."

"Okay, Mr. Wu." Liu Ziting smiled charmingly, her tone revealing confidence in her drinking ability.

After seeing this, Bai Lu's face did not look very good. This Boss Wu was famous for his ability to drink. Being able to work as Boss Wu's secretary and be brought to a drinking party, he must have a good alcohol tolerance. What's more, Teacher Zhang drank three more glasses. This competition was very dangerous.

"Teacher Zhang, I'll drink first to show my respect." Liu Ziting picked up the filled wine glass and drank without saying a word.

After drinking two taels of wine, her expression remained unchanged, and she still had that charming smile on her face.

Zhang Wen said nothing, downing his fourth glass, then pouring a fifth. He looked at Boss Wu's secretary and said, "It's rude not to reciprocate. I'll give Secretary Liu a toast, too."

Liu Ziting watched the handsome young man finish his fifth glass with a newfound respect. She'd been with Mr. Wu for two years, and this was the first time she'd met someone who drank so heartily, not even taking a break to eat a few bites of food. She picked up the glass, raised it toward him, and then drank it all in one gulp.

With her boss watching, she dared not slack off.

"it is good!"

Wu Defa cheered and raised his hands to applaud.

Bai Lu looked at Teacher Zhang worriedly, with a forced smile. Boss Wu might not treat his secretary as a human being, but Teacher Zhang was her friend, and she couldn't just sit back and watch the show like Boss Wu did.

"Teacher Zhang……"

Zhang Wen put down the cup. Apart from feeling a little bloated in the stomach, he didn't feel any other discomfort.

Looking at the female secretary opposite, she drank two glasses of wine without any abnormality. It was obvious that she was an expert who often attended drinking parties.

Based on his past experience of drinking on behalf of others, he knew that when dealing with such people, one must not drink one cup after another, and it would be best to finish the job quickly.

Zhang Wen thought for a moment, then looked at the woman and said, "Secretary Liu, drinking like this is boring. How about we give Mr. Wu a talent show of how to drink?"

"Oh? What do you mean by a talent show style of drinking? You don't mean drinking while singing, do you?" Liu Ziting asked with a smile.

Wu Defa also became interested at this moment. In his opinion, talent show is talent show and drinking is drinking. He had never heard of combining the two together.

Zhang Wen picked up a brand new bottle of Maozi, unscrewed the lid, and said, "Boss Wu, Secretary Liu, watch carefully. I'll give you a spin."

After saying that, he quickly spun the bottle, then tilted his head back and started drinking, spinning it as he drank without spilling a drop.

This action stunned the other three people in the private room.

We're all experienced drinkers, and we've only ever seen people swirl beer, not white wine. Are they courting death? Aren't they afraid of alcohol poisoning?
Ten seconds later.

Zhang Wen slowly raised the wine bottle in his mouth and let the wine in the bottle fall into his mouth drop by drop until no drop flowed out. Then he put the bottle on the table.

"it is good!"

Wu Defa couldn't help clapping his hands, his face flushed with excitement.

"Boss Wu, sorry for the embarrassing performance." Zhang Wen clasped his fists towards Wu Defa, then looked at the female secretary, "Secretary Liu, it's your turn."

Liu Ziting's heart skipped a beat and she was completely stunned.

She thought she had a good alcohol tolerance and could drink more than a pound without any problem.

But this more than one pound refers to the entire drinking session, which means drinking more than one pound within two or three hours.

But she had never done anything like Teacher Zhang, drinking a pound of food in one breath. Not only had she never done it, she had never tried it, let alone seen it.

At this moment, she was afraid and didn't even dare to try.

Because by doing this, there will only be two possible outcomes: one is that you can't drink it and lose, and the other is that you drink it and are sent directly to the hospital.

Enough!

"Secretary Liu, didn't you hear what Teacher Zhang said? It's your turn." Wu Defa reminded.

what?
Liu Ziting trembled all over and slowly turned to look at the boss. It was obvious that he didn't treat her as a human being. Normal people didn't drink like this.

"Mr. Wu."

Zhang Wen then spoke up to smooth things over, "Secretary Liu might not be able to do that. I think we should not force her. I heard that Mr. Wu can drink quite well. Can you let me see what he's like?"

Liu Ziting secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but this time it was Wu Defa's turn to lose his composure.

What do you mean by broadening your horizons? It's obvious that he wants to have a drinking contest with him.

He likes to drink, but he is not stupid.

Wu Defa cast his eyes on the bottle of wine that the young man had just finished drinking, silently calculating in his mind how much the other person had drunk.

He drank three cups first, then two cups with Secretary Liu, plus the bottle he drank later, which means that the young man had already drunk two kilograms of Maozi.

Two kilograms, this amount of alcohol consumption is top-notch in any drinking party.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on his face.

bluff!

This young man must be bluffing, trying to overwhelm him with his momentum.

Just like Secretary Liu, it was nothing to drink one cup at a time, but when they suddenly changed to bottles, he was completely shocked.

Little trick!

He admitted that the other party was a heavy drinker, but it was impossible to scare him.

"Forget about the eye-opener. I'd like to do this." Wu Defa looked at the two remaining bottles of Maotai on the table. "You've come to me simply to drum up investment for a new drama. From now on, if you drink one bottle, I'll give you 10 million. If you drink two bottles, I'll give you 20 million. However, if you collapse, I won't pay a cent. How do you do that?"

After saying that, he leaned back, as if waiting to watch a show.

Want to get him drunk? No way!
He wanted to see how the other party would continue to show off!
