For Xiao Zheng, tonight is by no means an ordinary party. It can even be said that it was the beginning of a new stage in his life. So at such an important moment, Lin Huayin, one of the owners of Longfeng Tower, didn't even want to show his face. Because this is Xiao Zheng's night, and it is also the night she has been looking forward to for a long time. All she had to do was wait at home for his good news.
In ancient times, when a boxer wanted to open a gym and accept disciples, he had to first notify the local martial arts community, and then go through various tests. Especially as a foreigner, the test and difficulty were quite high. If you win, you will naturally be eligible to open the museum, but if you lose, pack your bags and leave as soon as possible. Don't leave anyone embarrassed.
This custom is exclusive and is also a means of ensuring one's own rights and interests. This is true in the martial arts world, and there are such rules in all walks of life and every field today.
Newcomers have to visit the dock when they go to work, deal with relationships with colleagues, and treat guests to dinner when necessary. When officials parachute into a certain area, they must also visit local powerful people. Otherwise, they will not be able to leave the office and it will be difficult to carry out their work.
These customs have certain bad attributes in ancient China, but are they not the most acute means of testing personal abilities? If you can't even cope with this challenge, how can you make further progress in the future
Xiao Zheng understood everything clearly. Also made proper mental preparations.
This was not an easy dinner. Ye Zanghua's old friend Director Mo's immediate boss was at odds with Jin Shuheng over their political opinions. There was even an argument more than once. On the other hand, Lu Dashan and Shang Jingtian-Ye Zanghua once said that except for Bai Wuxia, the four heavenly kings at that time joined Buddhism and gave up all worldly things, the other three could be said to dislike each other. Even the most upright and peaceful Shang Jingtian did not hide his attitude in this regard.
Therefore, for Xiao Zheng, not only does the recipe need to be tailored to his taste, but the ranking on the table is also very important. Don't shoot yourself in the foot.
On the round table, three groups of people sat together, but they were clearly divided into three areas. Xiao Zheng arranged his seat between Ye Zanghua and Shang Yao. They also arranged for Qin Shuang to come between Director Mo and Jin Shuheng. Whether it was ranking or clever spacing, Xiao Zheng worked hard to satisfy everyone.
But as soon as everyone sat down, Lu Dashan smiled and joked: "Azheng, are you sincere or intentional? Are you arranging me and Lao Shang so far away, are you afraid that we will fight, or are you talking about speculation? , drank all your good wine?"
The first person to speak was not anyone else, but Lu Dashan, who had been Xiao Zheng's neighbor for two years. Xiao Zheng was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Uncle Lu, what you said is serious. I am afraid that you two will fight, but I dare to invite you over for a drink? Besides, as you two are To be magnanimous, let alone have no grudges, even if there were, they would have been forgotten with a smile."
Lu Dashan took the lead in attacking, but it gave Xiao Zheng a good start. The questions are simple and the difficulty level is average. There's nothing wrong with calling it a harmless joke. This also reflects Lu Dashan's love for Xiao Zheng from the side.
Everyone here was like a mirror in their hearts. They knew that Lu Dashan intended to let things go, but they didn't take it to heart. After waiting for Xiao Zheng's fluent response, Shang Jingtian smiled and said: "Boss Lu, you had an amazing drinking capacity back then. You even had the feat of knocking down three Bacchantes after drinking for a day and a night. Tonight, Ah Zheng sets the table, you can win Drink enough."
It sounds like an exaggeration, but it is actually a stab at Lu Dashan.
Bring down three Dionysians? When manpower is finally exhausted, the so-called "not drunk after a thousand cups" is just a description of a person who has a good drinking capacity. If you really want to drink more than ten kilograms of Shaodaojia, even the strongest man may not be able to bear it. It is also extremely harmful to the body. When Lu Dashan was young and frivolous, he did engage in such a battle of spirits. But now that I am older after all, how can I still have such energy? Even if there is, what can Qin Shuang do
"Boss Shang. I haven't seen you for so many years, but you still have a kind face and a sharp tongue." Qin Shuang gave Shang Jingtian a slightly sullen look. I feel unhappy.
She was originally a killer. Even though Lu Dashan had dispelled her murderous spirit over the years, she was still upright and a typical straight person. Seeing that her husband was being tricked this time, Lu Dashan directly aimed at Shang Jingtian before he could push him back.
"Aunt Qin. My father praised Uncle Lu. Why do you need to be sarcastic in return?" Shang Yao took advantage of the opportunity and gave Qin Shuang a blow.
"Yao Yao. When the elders are chatting, how can it be your turn to speak?" Shang Jingtian glanced sideways at Shang Yao and said with a stern expression.
As a result, Lu Dashan fell even further and could not even account for a single word.
After just a few back and forth, the atmosphere at the dinner table became weird. Qin Shuang was pushed back. Shang Yao was suppressed by his father Yan. Although Lu Dashan and Shang Jingtian were still smiling. But who couldn't see that the confrontation between the two was clearly not a show, but the result of years of grudges.
But everyone can see clearly that the merchant's behavior is, on the one hand, a competition with an old rival, and on the other hand, it naturally creates a huge problem for Xiao Zheng.
Before they even had a glass of wine, two people at the table drank a large bowl of bad gas first. As the master, Xiao Zheng cannot absolve himself of the blame.
After a short silence fell on the dining table, Xiao Zheng slowly picked up the wine glass, his expression still calm: "Boss Shang, I will definitely drink more than three people tonight. How about it?"
What a bold statement is this? How domineering
Is there an unknown person present? Even though everyone came here to support him, Xiao Zheng was the humblest one when it came to status.
Bringing down three of them could be regarded as the greatest remedy for Lu Dashan's slight disadvantage. No matter how domineering and unreasonable Shang Jingtian is, he has no choice. What's more, in the eyes of the world, he is already modest and moderate, and he is even more capable of taking advantage of others. Make the most of your face.
This time Xiao Zheng's words had come to an end. He just said with a kind smile: "Azheng, your words made many people here sweat. Even I am a little nervous."
Xiao Zheng smiled slightly and drank the wine in one gulp. Then he poured a second glass and turned to look at Lu Dashan: "Uncle Lu. Are you interested in being a wine god?"
When Lu Dashan heard this, he laughed heartily: "Are you trying to step on me to get the upper hand?"
"I just don't know if I have the honor to stand on the shoulders of giants." Xiao Zheng raised his hand.
"I'll give you this face!"
Lu Dashan laughed. His eyes were full of relief: "Then who is the second person?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng raised his glass and drank the second glass. Then he poured the third glass slowly and turned to look at Shang Yao: "Miss Shang. If I have offended you in any way before. With this glass of wine, I also want to imitate the giants and wash away grudges with a glass of wine. I don't know. What do you think, Miss Shang?"
