my old life

Chapter 1951
As the saying goes, nobles arrive late, and the person who arrives late at any dinner must be the person with the most status, unless it is a stunned young man who doesn't know the rules.

No matter where you are, you only have to wait for the leader, but never let the leader wait for others. It's a very simple reason.

Chen Longxiang sat in the middle of the main house, and I was directly opposite him, our eyes met in the air, I nodded lightly as a greeting.

"How did Fatty make arrangements today? Mr. Ming is my guest, why did he sit so far away?" Chen Longxiang asked with a straight face, I knew he was about to start taking eye drops.

"This..." The fat man rubbed his hands with a troubled expression on his face, this old fried dough stick really knows how to pretend, I thought it was all water thieves crossing the river, so don't make a dog dig it!
"Brother Longxiang, I am the youngest here, so I should be sitting in this position." I took the initiative to be polite, and I still understand the rules at the dinner table.

As the saying goes, the guest is at his own discretion, and the host can come as he pleases. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that today's arrangement has ulterior motives. If Chen Longxiang doesn't nod, who would dare to make such an arrangement?
In other words, if I were a certain feudal official, who would dare to reserve the lowest position for me?They pretended to be confused with each other's understanding, it's just a tacit understanding!

"It's not right, how can a guest sit down and serve tea and water? Come and sit by my side."

Chen Longxiang waved at me with a smile on his face, and I said in my heart that there is an eye salve, so that no one can find any faults.

It seems that Chen Longxiang is taking care of me deliberately, but in today's game it is clear that he has set me up, if I have been taken care of by him, I can't find fault with him...

"Thank you, Brother Long Xiang, for your kindness. It's just that I heard that I have to pay the bill today, so I'd better do business first and then discuss personal matters."

I tactfully rejected Chen Longxiang's request, because I knew he must have no good intentions, and I also knew that I would be embarrassed if I got the upper position.

When they were talking about things, I sat there without saying a word and couldn't get in. I felt like I was inferior to listening to teachings, and I might as well sit at the bottom.

It's also a hook of mine, a very hidden one!This trick was learned when I went to dinner with my second uncle...

"Today we don't talk about official business, only private matters. Qianfeng will collect all the accounts in a while, and it won't be too late to go back and look at them."

Chen Longxiang turned his head and told the people behind him, I understood after hearing this, in fact, today's business is to talk to me.

The so-called month-end reimbursement is just an excuse. If it is really confidential, it will not be disclosed in the hotel, let alone me, an outsider.

This is a very well-designed dinner, using the wind and dust to give me eye drops... I know that I don't have such great skills to make people worry, but my second uncle does!

"Everyone move down one seat, come and sit here." Chen Longxiang greeted again, and that's what I was waiting for!
"Brother Longxiang has repeatedly invited you warmly, so I'd rather be obedient than respectful!" I stood up and said politely, which caused everyone's expressions to change slightly.

The politeness just now can be regarded as my refusal, they dare not refuse Chen Longxiang but I dare, this is the difference between me and the others here.

I walked over with Dabing and Huben, and all the eyes on the scene were focused on me. I could see the hostility and contempt in it, but I took them as air.

Tonight's host is Chen Longxiang, and the others are just dispensable bastards... But I remember every sarcasm they said in my heart, and I will return every sarcasm they said to them!

The biggest characteristic of me is that I have a good memory, no matter whether it is good or bad, I remember everything!

"Thank you for coming to support Mr. Ming today." Chen Longxiang said something beautiful, and I took out a cigarette and lit it.

"Let's arrange for the food to be served. It's getting colder today. Let's drink some wine to warm up first. I'm not greeting you well!"

Chen Longxiang changed the subject and looked at me meaningfully. He is a smart man, and he knows why I don't pass him cigarettes.

"A friend came over today, so I have to toast first!" A guy with dragon and tiger tattoos stood up on the opposite side, and he looked like a scumbag.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that they are going to pour me alcohol at a glance. There are so many people here. If there is a wheel war, I will definitely get down and take the initiative!

"Brother Longxiang, is this small wine glass too small? Not enthusiastic enough!" I joked with a smile, letting him figure out the pun.

"Oh? How enthusiastic do you want to be?" Chen Longxiang also played a charade, and I would be rude if he gave him a chance.

"At the very least, change to the big bowl. After all, today is the first time I see all the bosses here. I want to respect them!"

I made a hook without saying a word, Chen Longxiang nodded and said yes, I know he can't lose face in front of everyone now.

As the saying goes, the most important thing to do is to save face. Only when you have face can you do things well. The essence of getting rich and ordinary things all lies in face.

The waiter immediately came over to change the sea bowl, and the white wine was poured into the sea bowl, and it was just right to pour one bowl per catty.

"First of all, let's welcome Mr. Ming..."

"Wait a minute, before I do this, I would like to offer a toast to all the bosses. I am very happy to meet so many bosses, and I will learn more from you in the future."

I directly interrupted Chen Longxiang's words, stood up with the Dahai bowl in my hand, squinted my eyes and glanced at everyone present.

Just now I said that Shui Qian's bastard is the big brother all over the place, they should all remember it, it's not a skill to argue just now, now it's time to see the truth!

"It seems that you have learned a lot of ways of life from Xiong Jiudong. Toast first is to save face, and everyone will join us in cheering." Chen Longxiang said with a smile. These words sound beautiful but they are slapping Second Uncle in the face.

I can toast in advance when I am young, but if I say that I learned it from my second uncle, it means that my second uncle is also the first one to toast.

"As the saying goes, a mule only knows when a horse comes out. Let me respect the boss. I like to meet heroes but I never like to deal with bears. Don't do it!"

After I finished speaking, I raised my head and poured it vigorously from the big bowl. The strong wine was crisp and refreshing in my throat. I want to see whether these people are heroes or bears!

In fact, the wine table culture is extensive and profound. I have to drink a glass of toast when others toast, but if I want to toast, everyone must drink it, so as to avoid being flooded with alcohol.

"Ah! It's really good wine!" I wiped a little residue from the corner of my mouth, and it felt hot after drinking a large bowl, but several people present didn't drink it all.

Those so-called 'old rivers and lakes' accountants only drank a little. I can understand that they are old and useless, but the others present have to keep the bottom of the bowl and talk.

"It seems that the bosses are all heroes. One bowl of wine is not enough to express my respect. Let's have another bowl! Fill it up!"

I turned my head to signal the waiter to take the wine, but someone deliberately blocked it and blocked the wine opener in advance.

"This wine can't be opened first, you can't get drunk today, kid, or you will make a fool of yourself."

"Hehe, don't bother the boss to worry about it, let's worry about the other bosses here first... Huben!" I changed the subject and said hello, then turned around and handed over the liquor.

Huben directly slashed the mouth of the liquor bottle with a knife with one hand, and the movement of his hand was so crisp and neat that he didn't need a wine opener at all, and filled a big bowl...

Huben's shot shocked everyone instantly, and the guy who stopped the wine opener widened his eyes even more. Don't say anything social or not in front of me, you only know when you pull it out for a while!
"I, Xiong Sanming, once again respect all the bosses here, done it!" I raised my head and poured down another big bowl, my blood was boiling after two catties of baijiu, and the whole room was silent.

This is the blood and pride unique to northern men. No matter where the northern eagles fly, they eat meat, and they will never be confused with chickens and ducks that eat leftovers.

This time, no one served the wine glass, and everyone seemed to have never seen this kind of drinking method. I will toast first to gain the initiative. If I want to drink, I will definitely accompany it to the end!
"Good drinker, young and promising!"

"This courage is good, really good!"

A table of people began to flatter me haha, the atmosphere changed unconsciously, and the way they looked at me also changed!
How can I easily let go of the fact that they didn't hold up the wine glass?
"All the bosses here are heroes, I really admire them! Hahahahaha!" I laughed and sarcastically, and all the flattery came to an abrupt end.

Before drinking, I made it clear that I will only be friends with heroes and heroes, and I will definitely not be friends with bears.

Today, if I dare to come here for a banquet alone, I am not afraid of their tricks!How can you get along in this society without two brushes?
