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

Chapter 231: Simply not human
"Assistant Zheng, are you okay?"

"Assistant Zheng, why are you crying?"

Zhang Wen put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Assistant Zheng who was standing there indifferently, his eyes full of concern.

Isn’t it said that you can drink a lot?
He hadn't even finished warming up yet, so why was he already crying from drinking? This wasn't okay.

"I, I'm fine." Zheng Xiaobin came to his senses and quickly wiped his eyes with his hands. He said in defense: "Something just fell into my eye and it's blinding."

After saying that, he raised his head and forced a smile on his face.

"..."

When the others saw this, they were speechless. Not only was his explanation forced, but even his smile was forced. Did he think everyone present was a fool?
Wang Huaiyuan looked a little embarrassed. After all, Assistant Zheng was his man, and his performance just now made him feel a little ashamed.

"It turns out that I was blurry-eyed. I thought that what I said just now reminded Assistant Zheng of sad past events." Zhang Wen breathed a sigh of relief and then sat down.

However, Zheng Xiaobin couldn't sit down because he still owed a glass of wine. If he didn't drink it, the drinking party could not continue.

You have to know that tonight's drinking party has just started for less than twenty minutes. If it cannot continue because of his glass of wine, it would be a serious sin.

It's not his face that's lost, but Mr. Wang's face.

Even if it doesn't work, at least persist for an hour.

What's with twenty minutes?

At the dinner table, there is no such thing as not drinking, only drinking until you get drunk.

He looked at the wine glass on the table, and caught a glimpse of the wine he had just spit out on the ground. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind and he thought of a delaying tactic.

"Waiter, waiter? Clean up this place." Zheng Xiaobin said loudly.

The waiter walked in quickly and was stunned when he saw the vomit on the ground. He had seen many guests vomiting after drinking, but this was the first time he had seen someone vomiting at the beginning of a drinking party. His alcohol tolerance was too low, right? He was so weak and still drinking, was there something wrong with him?
No matter how much I thought about it or how much I complained, I still cleaned and mopped the floor and turned on the air purifier promptly.

Soon, the vomit on the ground was cleaned up.

At this time, after Zheng Xiaobin vomited out what he had drunk and rested for a few minutes, he finally recovered and his head was not as dizzy as before.

"Assistant Zhang, I know a lot of people, but I've never seen anyone who can drink as much as you. You're a real man. I'll toast you a glass." Zheng Xiaobin said from the bottom of his heart, and then drank the white wine in the glass.

He was really convinced.

Desperately?

He tried it and ended up vomiting.

There is no way I can win.

Since becoming Mr. Wang's assistant, this was the first time he was pushed to the brink of despair at a dinner table, and he was truly convinced.

"Assistant Zheng, you're joking. This evening has only just begun. I know Assistant Zheng must have seen my youth and let me go, right? Thank you, Assistant Zheng. I toast to you."

After Zhang Wen finished speaking, he poured himself another large cup and drank it down with a gulp.

Zheng Xiaobin was already numb, and he stopped just as he was about to sit down. He half-squatted there. This time he really wanted to cry but had no tears.

What are you doing!

You've already shown weakness, why are you still toasting?
Can he sit down or not? Is it necessary for him to fall down?
Zheng Xiaobin watched the other person finish another glass, his stomach churning again. He licked his lips and for the first time in his life, he felt timid and fearful at the dinner table.

This guy named Zhang is simply not a human being!

Which training teacher can drink so much?

Even the winery's tasters can't drink that much.

He slowly stood up, and with stiff movements, he poured the wine from the bottle into the glass, so slowly that it seemed as if he had turned on the 0.5x speed, in order to gain more rest time.

However, no matter how slow the speed is, it will eventually be full.

The moment the wine reached the rim of the glass, he knew that the time of his execution had come.

Zheng Xiaobin raised his glass tremblingly and looked at Assistant Zhang opposite him. He was about to speak, but was worried that it would give the other party a reason to toast again, just like before, so in the end he said nothing and just started drinking.

As the liquor entered my stomach, I felt something suddenly rush into my brain, and then the world was spinning. Assistant Zhang was shaking, General Manager Li was shaking, and the boss was shaking too. Finally, my eyes went black, and my strength seemed to be drained away. My body lost support and I collapsed to the ground.

"Pfft!"

"Assistant Zheng? Assistant Zheng!"

"Xiao Zheng?"

The three people in the private room all stood up at this moment, and saw Assistant Zheng lying on the ground with a pale face, his body twitching, and he kept spitting out wine from his mouth, and the wine was mixed with blood.

Wang Huaiyuan's face changed. This was obviously a symptom of gastric bleeding. He quickly took out his mobile phone and dialed 120 without delay.

Li Lehua stood aside. Although his face showed concern and anxiety, he felt extremely happy in his heart, as if he had avenged a great revenge.

You know, the last time he drank, the people he brought were sent to the hospital in the same way. This can be considered as karma, a tit for tat.

Zhang Wen left his seat and walked quickly to Assistant Zheng's side. He listened to the person's heartbeat and rolled his eyelids. After making sure that the person would be fine for a while, he stood up.

"Assistant Zhang, how is Xiao Zheng?" Wang Huaiyuan asked after calling 120.

"It's mild gastric bleeding, nothing serious. Go to the hospital for an IV drip and rest for two days and you should be fine." Zhang Wen said.

Wang Huaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at Li Lehua and said with emotion, "Boss Li, your assistant is amazing. He was able to get Xiao Zheng drunk. Your company is truly full of hidden talents."

"Maybe Assistant Zheng is not in the mood today. Let's drink another day." Li Lehua said with a smile, but he was thinking in his heart: You just found out. Let's see if you dare to ask me out for a drink in the future.

Assistant Zheng, who was lying on the ground, probably heard the words "some other day" and his body twitched again.

Again?

If you drink even though you know you can’t win, that’s not courage, that’s courting death.

Wang Huaiyuan looked at Assistant Zheng lying on the ground, feeling extremely depressed. He hadn't had enough to drink when Assistant Zheng fell down. If he continued drinking, it would obviously be inappropriate. The most important thing was that without Assistant Zheng, he would have to face a 1 vs. 2 situation.

Actually, there is nothing wrong with one against two. The key is that Assistant Zhang's drinking method is too scary. He drinks half a catty of wine in one gulp and drinks continuously without giving people a chance to breathe. Assistant Zheng has a better alcohol tolerance than him. Even Assistant Zheng can't stand it, let alone him?

What a coward!

He didn't want to kneel, vomit and fall down like Assistant Zheng. It would be embarrassing if it got out.

"Mr. Li, I think there is no problem with the cooperation between the two companies." Wang Huaiyuan said after thinking for a while.

Although I didn’t drink to my heart’s content, I have to admit that I lost.

Li Lehua was slightly startled after hearing this, and then a hint of joy appeared on his face. "Boss Wang, are you telling the truth?"

"Mr. Li, do you think I'm joking? Assistant Zheng is drunk, but I'm not." Wang Huaiyuan said.

"Great, thank you, Mr. Wang..."

"You're welcome. Let's benefit each other and develop together." "Yes, let's benefit each other and develop together."

"..."

Not long after, the ambulance arrived at the hotel and Assistant Zheng was carried away. Wang Huaiyuan asked the driver to follow and called a designated driver for himself.

Looking at the car driving away, Li Lehua no longer concealed his joy. He turned to look at Zhang Wen beside him and said, "Assistant Zhang, you did a great job tonight."

"Nothing." Zhang Wen said lightly. If it weren't for the five-day paid leave, he wouldn't have come.

What about the boss?
If it weren't for the purpose of accumulating incense for his great-grandfather, he wouldn't have stayed in this company.

"Tell me, what reward do you want?" Li Lehua asked with a smile. She was in a very good mood and just wanted to reward the great contributor in front of her.

Not only that, she also regards the other party as a secret weapon. In the future, if she needs to attend a drinking party, she can bring this person with her. Wouldn't she be able to kill everyone by then?

In the entertainment industry, most collaborations are finalized over drinking parties, and whoever wins the drinking party can dominate everything.

"Any reward is fine?" Zhang Wen asked.

"Of course!" Li Lehua said after hearing this, and he had already started to imagine the future cooperation with Qiyi Video.

"In that case, Mr. Li, can you reimburse me for the money I spent on the Maybach today? It's not expensive, only 3.5 million, which is a drop in the bucket for you." Zhang Wen said seriously.

He lacks nothing now except money.

what?
Li Lehua's expression froze, and the smile gradually disappeared from his face. He stared at the young man in front of him without blinking and said, "I asked you what reward you want. I didn't tell you to dream. I am rich, but I am not a sucker. You bought a car, so why should I reimburse you?"

"Mr. Li, I asked if any reward is acceptable. You said so, of course. If you don't agree, then don't agree. Can you please not bite back? According to what you said, you came out to discuss cooperation, why should I block the wine for you?" Zhang Wen asked back. Isn't the other party like Zhu Bajie climbing over the wall and turning the tables?

"You, just because you are a member of the company, you have the responsibility and obligation to contribute to the company's cooperation." Li Lehua said angrily.

"I signed a labor contract, not a contract to sell myself. Which contract stipulates that I must drink for the company? What's more, it's still time to get off work. It's not too much for me to ask for some overtime pay, right?" Zhang Wen retorted fearlessly.

"Three and a half million in overtime pay? Why don't you just go and rob it?" Li Lehua rolled his eyes in anger. He had never seen an employee who asked for such a high price.

She runs a company, not a bank.

"Look at what you said. If robbery wasn't illegal, who would still go to work?"

"you……"

Li Lehua was so angry that he glared at her with murderous eyes.

If any employee in the company faced such a boss, he would definitely be scared to death. Even a big star would not dare to turn against the boss.

However, Zhang Wen was not afraid at all. Who could blame him for his strong background?
Other people’s backers are at most rich second-generations, coal bosses, or big directors, but his backers are gods. If he is afraid, it would be a disgrace to the gods.

Li Lehua looked at the employee in front of him who remained calm, and suddenly thought that the other party was not afraid of salary cuts or dismissal, and a feeling of powerlessness suddenly surged in his heart.

Now it seems that it is not the other party who needs her, but she who needs the other party.

Li Lehua couldn't help but sigh secretly, not expecting that he, the general manager, would be manipulated by an employee. Then he said, "To be practical, of course, the bonus is fine, but it will be a maximum of 10."

Zhang Wen curled his lips. He didn't expect that such a big boss would be so stingy. The meal just now must have cost at least 50,000 or 60,000, right?

Forget it, no matter how small a fly is, it is still meat, and no matter how small a shrimp is, it is still seafood. Let's consider 10 yuan as compensation for the salary deduction when he takes leave in the future.

Enough to deduct for several months.

"Will it be paid in cash, or calculated as a bonus and transferred to the salary card?" Zhang Wen asked.

The corner of Li Lehua's mouth twitched. Is being valued by her not worth as much as these 10 yuan?

Young people nowadays are so... young!

"Can I transfer money via WeChat?" Li Lehua asked.

"Yes, but it must be noted that it is a voluntary donation," said Zhang Wen.

"You're quite serious."

"A businessman."

"..."

The two took out their mobile phones, added each other as WeChat friends, and Li Lehua started transferring money with a cold face.

10 yuan wasn't much for her, but it was quite infuriating. The key was that she couldn't get angry, or she'd be known as someone who'd just let go of her work. If word got out about this at the company, who would still work hard?
In fact, the most important point is that you may have to ask the other party to stop drinking in the future.

"It's turned around." Li Lehua said.

"Okay, I got it. Thank you for your patronage. Next time you need something like this, remember to come to me and I'll give you a 9.999% discount." Zhang Wen almost blurted out the answer. When he was drinking on behalf of others, he would say this every time he received the money.

As for now, with three days of vacation plus a 10 yuan bonus, and Director Xu's two days of vacation compensation, it's not impossible to block a few glasses of wine for the boss.

In fact, if it weren't for the purpose of accumulating incense for his great-grandfather, he would not bother with this boss. He was too stingy.

"Thank you." Li Lehua rolled his eyes at the other party again. He had already given 10 yuan, and he was still short of that 100 yuan?

She put away her phone and walked towards the Audi A8 parked on the side of the road.

Zhang Wen followed behind, then naturally opened the car door and sat in the back seat, and told the driver his address: "Wanhua Villa, thank you."

Li Lehua raised her eyebrows slightly. Did he think of her car as a ride?
Wanhua Villa?

He is indeed a rich second generation.

The driver looked at his boss through the rearview mirror and saw that his boss didn't say anything, so he drove away immediately.

Since it was past the evening rush hour, the traffic was not very congested and the car arrived at the villa area in less than half an hour.

Zhang Wen couldn't wait to open the door and get out of the car, then took the property management car into the community.

Li Lehua looked at the young man's back and suddenly remembered that Bai Lu seemed to live in this community. Thinking that the other party was looking for investment and directors for Bai Lu's new drama, it seemed that the two were neighbors and had known each other for a long time.

The car was driving very slowly in the community, but as it got closer to the villa, Zhang Wen's heart began to flutter, and his mind began to imagine the scenes that might happen when he met Bai Lu.

Finally, the car stopped by the roadside. Zhang Wen walked quickly into the yard and placed his trembling fingers on the fingerprint lock.

"Crack!"

The door opened, and when he opened his arms to hug his lover, he found that there was another person in the villa besides Bai Lu, a sign language teacher.

Test!
Back early.

He was so focused on getting it over with that he forgot that Bai Lu at home still had to attend sign language classes. He was really confused.

He looked at the time. It was just past eight o'clock. He decided to endure it for two more hours.
