After receiving instructions from Jiang Ruoxi, Ye Chen became much bolder. As long as he didn't cause trouble first, he would fight back without hesitation.

Today, after get off work, Jiang Ruoxi and Ye Chen went straight home and didn't go out.

After finishing their meal, the two sat in the living room, chatting and eating sunflower seeds, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

"Strike when the iron is hot, and conquer the land with gusto..." Ye Chen's distinctive ringtone rang out.

"Hello, Minister He, please give instructions!"

The call was from Minister He Jianping, who spoke cautiously: "Brother Ye, would tomorrow evening be convenient for you? A relative from my hometown is visiting, and a few good brothers from the ministry are also coming for dinner. Would you do me the honor of joining us?"

Jiang Ruoxi, who was standing to the side, felt nauseous and got goosebumps.

When did Ye Chen become so successful? A minister is speaking to the deputy minister in a childish voice and even asking for his opinion when inviting him to dinner.

Fortunately, it was Jiang Ruoxi who heard it. If others had heard it, they would have misunderstood that he had some special hobby.

"Minister He, let me check the arrangements for tomorrow and get back to you later!" Ye Chen didn't agree immediately. He didn't know if Jiang Ruoxi had made any arrangements, and besides, he hadn't consulted her yet, so he couldn't just agree casually.

"Wife, you heard everything. Do you think I can go?" Ye Chen looked at Jiang Ruoxi, waiting for her answer.

Normally, Ye Chen would ramble on about everything, but this time he was suddenly talking less, which made Jiang Ruoxi feel a little uncomfortable.

"Go ahead, making more friends is a good thing. Although He Jianping likes to flatter and play tricks, he's actually very capable. You can learn from him!"

Jiang Ruoxi did not stop Ye Chen and readily agreed.

"Okay, thanks for your approval, wife. I promise I'll be home on time and won't drink too much."

Ye Chen solemnly made a promise to Jiang Ruoxi.

He Jianping was a seasoned veteran. There were only six people at the meal: himself, Ye Chen, and two other men and two women. The two women were both in their early twenties, very beautiful, and dressed very elegantly.

As the host, He Jianping naturally took the seat of honor, with Ye Chen to his left and another man to his right, while two women sat on either side.

"Brother Ye, let me introduce you. This is my good brother, Zhao Hailong. He owns his own company and is very successful. Please take care of him in the future. This beautiful woman is my cousin, about the same age as you. It just so happens that you're single, and my sister is single too. Perhaps there's a chance... This beautiful woman is my brother's cousin. She just graduated from university and came to Jiangcheng for a visit. We just happened to meet... You don't mind, do you, brother?"

"Brother's brother and sister, that's my brother and sister, Ye Chen's brother and sister. From now on, we're good friends. Minister, are you being too serious?"

Ye Chen knew that He Jianping liked to hear nice things, and when he was happy, everyone was a brother or buddy.

"Brother, I love your straightforward personality. I'm not saying anything more, I'm going to have a drink now..."

Ye Chen took a sniff; it was a 53-degree baijiu with a soy sauce aroma, aged for over ten years. He Jianping had really gone all out.

He dislikes long-winded drinking sessions, so he picks up his glass and downs it in one gulp.

"You've got a good capacity for alcohol, brother!" He Jianping couldn't help but praise Ye Chen.

This was blatant flattery, but Ye Chen didn't mind. After all, in this world, one is either being flattered or on the way to flattering others.

After He Jianping finished offering three toasts, he suggested that Ye Chen offer one, but Ye Chen thought the wine glasses were too small and directly took the wine pot.

Ye Chen's actions startled He Jianping. He was worried that Ye Chen had drunk too much and that President Jiang would blame him when he got back, which would make all his efforts go to waste.

Ye Chen ignored He Jianping and instead stood up, praising him first, which made He Jianping, who had drunk a few cups, a little tipsy.

He Jianping pulled Zhao Hailong along, picked up a jug containing about two ounces of liquor, and said, "Come on, brother, let's toast you."

Gudong!Gudong!

After both of them had finished the wine in the pot, He Jianping let out a burp.

"Brother, we have to drink to our hearts' content today, no, I mean Brother Ye has to drink to his heart's content, otherwise no one can go home, it's a deal!" After saying that, He Jianping patted Ye Chen on the shoulder and then looked at Zhao Hailong.

He Jianping was unaware of Ye Chen's alcohol tolerance. Ye Chen had been secretly drinking alcohol since he was a child, and drinking a pound or two of liquor was no problem for him.

He Jianping saw that Ye Chen had drunk eight liang (approximately 400ml) of the liquor, but there was no change at all. On the contrary, his face was rosy and he did not feel any discomfort.

He quickly winked at the two women, signaling them to offer a toast.

The first to stand up was He Jianping's younger sister, He Lingling: "Brother Chen, I'd like to offer you a toast."

He Lingling called him "Brother Chen," which gave Ye Chen goosebumps and made him shudder.

Ye Chen stood up, picked up his wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp. Just as he was about to sit down, He Lingling immediately spoke up: "Brother Chen, one glass isn't enough, you have to have another one, good things come in pairs..."

Ye Chen had no choice but to drink another cup.

As soon as he put down his wine glass, He Lingling immediately refilled Ye Chen's glass.

"Brother Chen, you can't refuse a beautiful lady's toast..."

"Okay, I'll drink as many cups as I want, no problem..."

He Lingling was a little drunk and sat next to Ye Chen without saying a word.

Zhao Hailong's sister also toasted Ye Chen, and Ye Chen did not refuse.

After several rounds of toasts, He Jianping and Zhao Hailong were a little tipsy, and their speech was slurred.

"Brother Ye, I know you're still young and don't have a girlfriend. My sister also doesn't have a boyfriend. She's a senior in college and will graduate soon. What do you think, brother? If it's a good match, we can become even closer relatives, brother-in-law..."

He Jianping spoke with a clear mind, and He Lingling lowered her head in embarrassment, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Ye Chen looked at He Jianping and his sister, and now he understood the real purpose behind He Jianping's invitation to dinner and drinks.

"Minister He, I can't agree to this. It's not that your sister isn't good, it's just that I already have a wife. We're getting our marriage certificate soon, and we've already met each other's parents. It wouldn't be good for me to back out now, would it?"

Ye Chen deliberately used his drunkenness to make a loud noise, and then stood up and talked nonsense.

"Brother, don't try to fool me. I've already investigated. Aside from your sister, President Jiang, you basically never see any other women. How could you possibly have a wife?"

He Jianping expressed his thoughts somewhat angrily.

Ye Chen was unaware that He Jianping had investigated so thoroughly. He Jianping was right; he hadn't been in contact with many women, but what he didn't know was that Jiang Ruoxi was his wife.

He Jianping went to great lengths to introduce his sister, simply so she could climb up his coattails.

"Brother, I'm not lying to you, I, Ye Chen, have a wife. You'll find out soon enough. You should know what kind of person I am."

"Brother, you're becoming more and more unpredictable; you're really hiding something!"
