Siheyuan: Qin Huai Ru, Dong Xu Qing You

What's going on? Aren't dinner parties supposed to be fun? Why is it so awkward before we even start eating?

"Director Liu, what do you mean by arranging a junior section chief to sit at the head table with us? Are you deliberately trying to humiliate us? If so, we won't sit at the head table!"

Factory Director Liu Feng adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked up, and saw Yang Lei.

"Everyone, this is a misunderstanding.

This comrade is called Yang Lei, and he is indeed the section chief of a canteen in our main factory.

But he is here today on behalf of Director Li from our main factory.

So it's only natural for Section Chief Yang to be the chief."

Liu Feng quickly explained to these directors.

When these directors heard that Yang Lei came on behalf of Director Li of the Steel Rolling Mill, they thought there was nothing wrong with him sitting in the chief seat.

But the key point is, as Yang Lei just said, these directors are not qualified to be the chief.

Just this one sentence offended these directors seriously.

Although Liu Feng's explanation was both reasonable and logical, they just wouldn't buy it and wouldn't even give face to Director Liu Feng.

"Director Liu Feng, if you insist on letting him take the chief seat, then we won't be attending today!"

"That's right. Even if he can represent Director Li, so what? After all, he's not Director Li himself."

"If he takes the chief seat, we'll leave!"

As soon as Director Jin said this, the directors who were sitting in the chief seats all echoed him.

"This……"

Liu Feng was really in a dilemma at the moment, afraid of offending someone.

"Director Liu, don't worry too much.

To be honest, none of them are qualified to sit in the chief position, and I am no exception.

Wait until someone qualified comes..."

Yang Lei showed no mercy to these directors and insisted that they were not qualified to sit in the chief position.

"Section Chief Yang, I have found the people for you.

"Look at these people, are they any good?" Cui Dake came over with a big smile on his face.

Yang Lei pointed at the eight trembling old men Cui Dake had brought with him and said, "Director Liu, you should be quite familiar with them, right?"

These eight people were all over sixty years old. Liu Feng recognized one of them at a glance. He was the old director of the machinery factory.

They are all great contributors to the machinery branch. Without them, there would be no factory today!

"Old factory director, why are you here too?" Liu Feng hurried to greet him.

"Director Liu, it's you and Director Li of the main factory who are still thinking of the old times and haven't forgotten us old guys.

Okay, remember to invite us over for dinner.

"That's great! Just for this, you are all good leaders!" The old factory director grinned, his beard trembling, and he felt so happy.

Yang Lei stood up silently and walked to the last row and sat down.

He came here on behalf of Director Li of the main factory, and it was already very low-key for him to sit here.

Those self-righteous directors don’t even have the courage to sit in the front now.

"Section Chief Yang, please come forward and sit down." After Liu Feng arranged the eight veteran contributors, he prepared to let the other leaders take their seats in turn.

"Director Liu, I'm here in my personal capacity, and this is my seat." Yang Lei smiled and didn't care about it at all.

He was deliberately trying to teach those who valued seniority and positions a lesson.

Seeing that Yang Lei didn't move, Director Liu knew that he and those directors were not on the same page, so he let it go.

In the end, the five department-level leaders had to sit in the second seat.

These people's faces turned red and they felt very dissatisfied.

After they sat down, they began to whisper.

Cui Dake heard it and immediately ran to tell Yang Lei.

"They want to get me drunk by toasting?" Yang Lei smiled slightly, took out a hangover pill from his pocket and threw it into his mouth.

"Section Chief Yang, we hit it off right away.

I heard that you are a popular figure around Director Li. Old Jin, I am short-sighted.

I'll drink three cups as punishment."

Before the dishes were served, Director Jin ran over to Yang Lei's table with a bottle of wine and a smile on his face.

Which of these directors doesn't have a huge appetite? Director Jin is the biggest drinker, easily downing a pound and a half.

They agreed to take turns and beat Yang Lei until he got drunk.

If we can't kill him, we'll make him half dead!

Cui Dake only heard a few words and hurried over to report the situation to Yang Lei.

Yang Lei smiled and thought to himself, Director Jin is not here to admit his mistake, he is clearly here to issue a challenge!

Yang Lei still stood up with a smile. After all, Director Jin was two levels higher than him, an ordinary section chief. He had to maintain his composure in front of so many cadres.

"Director Jin, as the saying goes, there's no friendship without fighting, there might be some misunderstanding between us.

It's better to talk it out.

I think I'll just forget about this wine, I really can't drink much."

Yang Lei pretended to be weak, and Director Jin was secretly happy. It seemed that he could get Yang Lei drunk by himself and there was no need to ask for help from others.

Among the five department leaders, the one with the surname Fang can drink the most. People say he can drink the ocean dry!

"Section Chief Yang, it seems that my previous attitude wasn't entirely sincere! Look everyone, to show my resolve, I'm going to drink three glasses of wine!"

As soon as Director Jin finished speaking, he poured three full glasses of white wine. Before Yang Lei could come to his senses, he had already drunk them all.

"Well done!"

"Yes, Director Jin is amazing!"

"Haha, a small section chief actually asked the director to apologize to him. He really doesn't know the seriousness of the matter!"

The directors at other tables began to make a fuss.

The people at other tables were also inspired and started drinking.

Factory Director Liu Feng was extremely anxious and tried to persuade them but failed.

"Chief Yang, these three cups are my punishment. I'll toast you three more. If you don't drink, you'll be giving me no respect."

Director Jin became more and more excited as he drank, and he was determined to get Yang Lei drunk!

"Director Jin, it's not appropriate for you to punish yourself with three cups of wine.

I won't take advantage of you, so fill all three of their cups."

Yang Lei handed over the empty bowl and asked Cui Dake to fill it with wine.

"Chief Yang, I specially made chicken soup for you and added century-old ginseng. Drink some first to warm your stomach. I'll hold the wine for you later."

Cui Dake took the opportunity to pour the wine and whispered to Yang Lei.

"Okay, Dake, just bring the chicken soup over later."

Chapter 95 I came here specifically to apologize to Section Chief Yang.

As soon as Yang Lei drank this nourishing drink, his physical condition immediately improved!

After a bowl of chicken soup with century-old ginseng, Yang Lei felt that even if he didn't take any pills that would keep him from getting drunk, he could easily drink five to seven kilograms of high-proof liquor.

"Okay, Chief Yang, I'll go get the chicken soup right away."

Cui Dake felt happy when he heard that Yang Lei no longer called him "Section Chief Cui".

He knew that his flattery was correct and satisfied Yang Lei, so he was treated as one of his own.

Cui Dake's job promotion was arranged by Yang Lei, so he had to please Yang Lei.

There were three large bowls of wine on the table, each weighing one jin.

This is a genuine good wine brewed from pure grains, and it is the first batch of koji, so the alcohol content is quite high.

Some people were worried that Yang Lei wanted to drink a whole bowl in one breath, but everyone thought it was impossible. Even Director Jin thought Yang Lei was just bluffing.

However, Director Jin did not dare to underestimate Yang Lei. After all, all the directors present could drink more than a pound of alcohol.

Director Jin was a little nervous. Although he could drink, he had never thought of drinking a whole pound in one gulp.

Yang Lei took the initiative to drink, saying that he was returning it to Director Jin.

When Director Liu saw that the situation was not good, he quickly ran over to stop them and said that he was willing to drink it for Yang Lei.

Director Jin sneered, thinking that Director Liu wanted to be a hero with such a low position.

Director Liu said that in order to make Director Jin happy, he would drink it all up even if it cost him his life.

Liu Feng gritted his teeth and reached out to pick up the orchid bowl filled with wine on the table.

"Director Liu, you have to think carefully, here are three bowls of wine.

If you want to drink for Section Chief Yang, you have to drink all three bowls."

Director Jin stared at Liu Feng with a smile, but that smile was not very sincere.

"Director Jin, three bowls of wine equals three kilograms.

Isn’t this embarrassing?”

Liu Feng was feeling very worried.

Director Jin's position is slightly higher than his, and he can't afford to offend him.

Yang Lei, on the other hand, was a popular figure around Director Li of the Steel Rolling Mill, and this time he came here on behalf of Director Li.

If Yang Lei gets drunk, how will he explain to Director Li?

"Director Liu, you are making things difficult for me.

I came here specifically to apologize to Section Chief Yang.

Section Chief Yang, let's have a bowl each, drink up!"

When Director Jin saw Liu Feng from the machinery factory show up, he was afraid that his plan to get Yang Lei drunk would be ruined. This kid was too cunning.

He picked up a bowl of wine, gulped it down a few times, and half the bowl of wine was gone!

This is a strong liquor, 60 degrees! Although Director Jin can drink quite a lot, he still finds it hard to handle such a large amount of liquor in one breath.

I managed to drink a small amount of it. The wine looked like water, but once I swallowed it, it felt like it was on fire and my stomach was churning.

Director Jin held on and drank the wine.

"Director Jin is amazing!"

"Old Jin's alcohol tolerance is really impressive! Haha, it seems that we directors don't need to help. Old Jin alone can drink that guy named Yang down."

"What if that Yang guy doesn't want to drink?"

"Haha, he doesn't drink? Will he dare to come to the Machinery Branch Factory again? I don't think he can survive in the main factory."

……

These words drifted into Yang Lei's ears, neither loud nor soft, but he didn't react at all.

There's no point in arguing with these people.

If you want to drink, then follow the rules.

"Yang..."

Director Jin still had half a bowl of wine left in his hand. He was about to say a few words to criticize Yang Lei, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the alcohol took effect and he quickly closed his mouth.

If you don't close it, you'll vomit.
