A life of success begins with being a landlord.

I nodded, pointed to the wine on the table, and asked the person with the red nose to go first.

The man with the rosacea handed me a bottle first, and then took one for himself.

I asked the waiter to bring me a large bowl, opened the bottle, poured the entire bottle of wine into the bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

The crowd applauded.

I sat down to eat, looking at my red nose.

The man with the rosacea also opened a bottle and chug it down mouth-to-mouth.

Mei Hongju grinned mischievously and greeted them politely, "Not bad, not bad, we're all heroes. Have some food first, then drink slowly."

Dao Zixiong nudged me and pointed to the braised pork on the table: "Eat two pieces of fatty meat."

It is said that eating fatty meat while drinking alcohol can protect the stomach and intestines.

I heeded their advice and ate two pieces of braised pork.

The man with the rosacea, however, seized the opportunity, opened a second bottle, and drank it mouth-to-mouth.

I couldn't be a coward, so I opened the second bottle, poured it into a bowl, and drank it.

Two hotel staff members stood to one side, staring wide-eyed.

"Please eat first, and wait a moment."

Mei Hongju sneered, then had his henchman bring out 100,000 yuan in cash and place it on the table: "Old Zhang, is your money ready?"

Old Zhang nodded, opened the cloth bag he had brought, and took out 100,000 yuan in cash.

Two hundred thousand yuan in cash together, I feel it's even more delicious than braised pork or Moutai liquor!

Dao Zai Xiong seemed a little scared and asked me in a low voice, "Is this okay, brother?"

"It's alright, I'll give it a try." I smiled, opened the third bottle of wine, and slowly drank it.

Old Zhang and the man with the red nose both looked rather serious.

"Hey, if you can't drink it, don't force yourself. Moutai is good, but it can kill you," Mei Hongju said with a smile, puffing on his cigarette at the man with the bulbous nose.

"It's only 100,000 yuan, Lao Zhang can afford to lose it."

"I won't lose!" The man with the red nose picked up the bottle and gulped it down.

"puff……"

But when a bottle of wine was half-filled, the smell of alcohol hit my nose and caused the wine to spray out, just like a spray bottle!

Old Zhang was sitting to the side and couldn't dodge in time, so he got sprayed all over his face!

The man with the red nose put down the bottle, looking embarrassed. "Sorry, I drank it a little too fast..."

"Hey, does this count as you losing? You sprayed half a bottle of wine out." Dao Zai Xiong seized the opportunity to attack.

"Not even half, at most a spurt of wine, I'll make up for it with another cup," the red-nosed man exclaimed.

I shook my head: "Forget it, brother, you don't need to finish it. If you can drink, finish the third bottle you have first."

The man with the red nose nodded and finished the rest of the third bottle in two separate servings.

But by this time, the man with the bulbous nose was already swaying and unable to stand steadily.

I know that my rosacea is at its limit and I could collapse at any moment.

Mei Hongju also saw through it and laughed, "Old Zhang, the outcome is decided. It seems there's no need to continue betting. If you continue, I'm afraid you'll end up with a huge coffin."

Old Zhang was annoyed, glancing sideways at the red-nosed man: "What's wrong with you today? Only three bottles, and you're already done?"

"I... I'm still okay..." The red-nosed man struggled desperately, swaying as he picked up the fourth bottle of wine.

"Wait a minute." I stood up and clasped my hands in a fist salute to the crowd:

"Too much alcohol is bad for your health. It would be even worse if someone died from drinking. I think we should eat some food and chat for a while. If this gentleman and I are both alright in half an hour, then we can have another bottle."

If anyone gets drunk within half an hour, then that's it.

Mei Hongju nodded, pointing to his bulbous nose: "Judging by his appearance, he's already lost; he's just putting on a brave face!"

Old Zhang flew into a rage, pointing at me and saying, "Prince Mei said you can drink four jin of baijiu. Tonight, win or lose, I want to see you finish four bottles!"

This bastard, is he trying to drink me to death?

I feel that Lao Zhang is not as good as Mei Hongju.

Mei Hongju was somewhat worried that someone might die, but Lao Zhang didn't care at all, treating my life and the life of the person with the red nose as worthless!

Mei Hongju glanced at Old Zhang, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but didn't.

"No!"

Dao Zixiong slammed his fist on the table and stood up, looking at Lao Zhang: "Brother Zhang, there are no fathers or sons in a casino, and no mercy is shown on the field. Since it's a drinking contest, everyone should drink together, and fairness must be guaranteed. Making my brother drink four catties all by himself is not fair!"

I was surprised.

Unexpectedly, Dao Zixiong dared to be so strong in front of Mei Hongju.

Old Zhang's face changed, and he pointed at Dao Zixiong: "Who do you think you are, pointing fingers here?"

Dao Zixiong gritted his teeth: "Although I, Zhan Shixiong, am a nobody, I can't abandon my brothers. Wang Yaozu calls me 'Big Brother,' so I have to protect him."

"You want to turn the world upside down?" Old Zhang glared at Zhan Shixiong.

"Alright, alright!" Mei Hongju frowned and waved his hand. "Whether or not to drink this wine, let Wang Yaozu decide for himself."

Old Zhang snorted and glared at me as if I were his enemy.

I clasped my hands in a fist and palm salute: "Thank you for your concern, Brother Xiong and Brother Hong. I can still drink this fourth bottle. I made that suggestion earlier for Brother Zhang's own good, in case something happened to his friend. Since Brother Zhang asked me to drink it, I will."

Old Zhang sneered: "Based on Prince Mei's testimony, my friend drank himself to death, and it has nothing to do with anyone present."

Without further ado, I opened the fourth bottle and drank it mouth-to-mouth.

This drinking contest was much better than the last time I drank vodka; my stomach didn't feel burning.

So I think four bottles of wine are no problem.

I finished my fourth bottle, and the whole room fell silent.

After a long silence, Mei Hongju burst into laughter: "Old Zhang, you've seen it now, I wasn't bragging. You've lost this time, are you convinced of your defeat?"

"I refuse to accept this, I can still drink..."

The man with the red nose grabbed the bottle and tilted his head back sharply.

Unexpectedly, with his movement, he staggered backward and fell to the ground.

The wine bottle in his hand was smashed to pieces.

Old Zhang stomped his feet in anger and kicked the bulbous-nosed man again: "You disgraceful wretch, get out of here!"

"I'll climb, I'll climb..."

With his red nose slurring, covered in alcohol, he actually crawled towards the door using both hands and feet.

The two waiters in the private room quickly opened the door.

I watched coldly, thinking that the person with the red nose was putting on an act.

Knowing he couldn't drink anymore, he deliberately tripped and fell, so that Old Zhang would know he had done his best and that he could shirk responsibility and avoid punishment when he got back.

It's like fighting a war. If the enemy is already badly wounded, the commander-in-chief can't just send them into battle again.

Old Zhang sighed and stared at me: "Brother, you really did drink four jin of liquor..."

"It's over four jin. We drank three cups earlier, which was about two liang of liquor," I corrected Lao Zhang.

"Okay, I'll give you a little over four pounds." Old Zhang pushed 200,000 yuan in cash in front of me: "If you're not drunk in twenty minutes, this money is yours."

Damn it, you've changed your mind again?

At first, they just said that if you won the bet, you could take away 200,000.

Now they're telling me to stay sober.

Mei Hongju stood up, pointing at the money: "Brother, don't listen to Lao Zhang's nonsense. He lost and is trying to renege on his debt. You and Dao Zixiong should leave now, take this money!"
