Chapter 59: No More Than This
Upon hearing Jiang Ruoxi mention a drinking party, Ye Chen nearly jumped for joy; he hadn't had a proper drinking session in a long time.
The last time I drank with He Jianping, it was just the beginning; it ended before it even really started.
I've heard that city people like to discuss business over drinks; when they're in a good mood, the deal is usually done.
This time, for his wife's great cause, he won't stop until he's drunk to the point of collapse, so that everyone in Jiangcheng knows that Ye Chen is number one when it comes to drinking.
Ye Chen suddenly realized he was wrong. Since Jiang Ruoxi had suddenly asked him to participate, she must have had a purpose.
Let's analyze the participants first," Ye Chen said, getting up and going upstairs.
Having learned his lesson last time, Ye Chen made a much bigger commotion: "Wife, where are you? I need to talk to you about something..."
There's no study, no terrace, so it must be the bedroom...
Ye Chen knocked lightly on the door and called out twice, but there was no response. He then knocked harder a few times, but still no response!
With such a loud commotion, someone in the bedroom would definitely react. Ye Chen mustered his courage and pushed open the bedroom door.
It wasn't on the bed, and it still wasn't in the bathroom.
Her phone was on the dressing table in the bedroom.
Where did they go?
Surely it's not like someone would run out alone in the middle of the night?
Ye Chen searched all the rooms upstairs but couldn't find Jiang Ruoxi.
Ye Chen became a little anxious and hurriedly went downstairs to search, worried that Jiang Ruoxi had been kidnapped.
"Wife, where are you? Wife..."
Ye Chen searched the entire building but still couldn't find Jiang Ruoxi. He changed his shoes and hurriedly prepared to go out to look for her.
"Ouch!"
"Why are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you rushing to be reincarnated?"
Jiang Ruoxi squatted on the ground, holding her head, looking somewhat uncomfortable, probably because she had just been hit and was in some pain.
"Honey, where have you been? I saw you all over the building, I thought you'd been…"
The first time Jiang Ruoxi saw Ye Chen looking anxious, she looked quite cute.
"Haha, did you think my men, Li Chengwen's men, had been arrested?"
Ignoring the pain, Jiang Ruoxi stood up and smiled broadly.
"Honey, how dare you laugh at me? Do you know how worried I was?"
Ye Chen was clearly unhappy to see Jiang Ruoxi making fun of him like that.
Jiang Ruoxi didn't do it on purpose. She was just sitting there when she suddenly realized that she hadn't watered her plants, so she went downstairs.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I know you were worried about me. I just checked on the plants I planted in the yard. Sorry, next time I'll definitely let you know in advance if I'm going out for a long time. I promise it won't happen again. What's your number?"
Seeing Jiang Ruoxi's serious expression, Ye Chen couldn't stay angry anymore. If it's not safe to walk around in the courtyard, then where is a safe haven?
"Mmm, honey, you absolutely can't do that again, it really scared me to death!"
Ye Chen pretended to be very aggrieved. He wasn't stupid; he should take advantage of this opportunity to save face.
"Okay, okay, I know, it was my fault, alright? I'll take you out for a big meal this weekend to make it up to you, is that alright?"
Jiang Ruoxi was getting annoyed by Ye Chen's awkwardness, so she had no choice but to take the initiative to apologize.
Seeing this, Ye Chen had no choice but to stop while he was ahead, otherwise he would end up with nothing.
"Honey, who's at the dinner party tomorrow? How much traffic do they have?"
Ye Chen got back to the main topic.
"It's just a few partners, but they have a really high alcohol tolerance. The previous times I hired some wine connoisseurs, they couldn't keep up. This time it's up to you. But I've also hired someone to prepare for the challenge."
"Wife, how much did it cost?"
"I won the drinking contest! 100,000!"
One hundred thousand?
Ye Chen's mouth was agape like a crocodile's, and his eyes were wide open like watermelons.
"What? Haven't you ever seen money before? 100,000 is a lot?"
"Isn't 100,000 a lot? Then give me the money, honey! I guarantee the other side won't be able to stand up!"
For wealthy people, 100,000 is nothing, but for someone like me who has lived in the mountains my whole life and has never seen money, it seems like a lot.
"Honey, you really don't need to find outside help. Just give me the money; I guarantee it'll be much better than those self-proclaimed god of wine or anything like that..."
Are you sure you can do it?
Seeing that Jiang Ruoxi didn't quite believe him, Ye Chen turned around and walked to the liquor cabinet, preparing to take out a bottle of 63-proof liquor and drink it all in front of Jiang Ruoxi.
Ye Chen's actions startled Jiang Ruoxi, who quickly stopped him from doing anything reckless.
Seeing Ye Chen's determination, Jiang Ruoxi decided to do as he said and dismiss the experts they had hired, letting Ye Chen fight alone.
The banquet was held at the most luxurious Water Paradise Hotel in Jiangcheng, which is the best five-star hotel in the city.
Jiang Ruoxi was hosting this time, and she and Ye Chen arrived at the hotel's private room early.
The hotel walls are decorated with gold plating, and the ceiling lights in the private rooms are composed of tens of thousands of small chandeliers, creating a grand and beautiful atmosphere.
Before long, Jiang Ruoxi's guests arrived. They were Zhao Meng, the president of Nanshan Energy Group, Sun Chenghai, the marketing manager, and Yu Hongzhong, the manager who claimed to be from the R&D department.
Jiang Ruoxi introduced everyone one by one. Ye Chen noticed that among the three opponents, Yu Hongzhong from the R&D department was a practitioner of ancient martial arts, so he should be a skilled fighter. This explained why Jiang Ruoxi could never win.
Jiang Ruoxi did not reveal that Ye Chen was her fiancé, only saying that he was the head of the company's security department.
Ye Chen glanced at the other two and realized that President Zhao, who was sitting next to Jiang Ruoxi, was clearly not a good person.
With a huge beer belly, a thick waist and broad shoulders, and a face full of fat, he didn't look like a good person.
Ye Chen noticed that from the moment he entered the room until now, President Zhao's eyes had never left Jiang Ruoxi; he had been staring at her intently.
On several occasions when Jiang Ruoxi was about to offer a toast, his groping hands would unconsciously reach out and touch hers, probably a habitual action he took when he saw a beautiful woman.
Due to the cooperative relationship, Jiang Ruoxi did not say it directly, but quickly withdrew her hand.
"Mr. Zhao, I've heard you have an enormous capacity for alcohol, absolutely number one in Nanshan. Today, this country bumpkin would like to witness Mr. Zhao's incredible capacity for alcohol. I hope Mr. Zhao will grant me this request..."
As Ye Chen spoke, he picked up the two-ounce wine jug, preparing to toast Zhao Meng directly. Zhao Meng was startled by Ye Chen's sudden action, but she quickly recovered.
"Minister Ye, I'll drink this with you!" Yu Hongzhong, the manager of the R&D department, stood up and clinked glasses with Ye.
Ye Chen thought it was fine; since they would all be lying down soon anyway, there was no rush for anyone to go first.
"Alright, Manager Yu, let's drink first."
Gudong!Gudong!
Ye Chen tilted his head back and downed the entire pot of wine in one gulp. He turned the pot upside down and didn't pour out a single drop.
Manager Yu was stunned. Ye Chen's alcohol tolerance was either exceptionally high or he was just a paper tiger. In any case, he had already issued a challenge, so he couldn't back down.
Manager Yu also downed it in one gulp.
As Zhao Meng ate her food, she was secretly pleased. Today, the three of them could definitely take down Ye Chen, and Jiang Ruoxi wouldn't be able to escape.
