6:30 in the evening.
The village office courtyard was filled with smoke and fumes, and a Michelin-starred, portly chef in a white coat skillfully displayed his culinary skills.
Several large tables were set up in the courtyard, with a rotating disc in the middle.
Wang Dana, Wang Musheng, Wang Changgui, Xiangxiu, Xu Hui, Liu Ying, Yongqiang, and senior executives from both groups.
Xiangxiu glanced at Xu Hui and occasionally flirted with him, but unfortunately, Xu Hui didn't notice.
"Dad, what brings Yongqiang here?"
Xiangxiu whispered.
"Big Shot sent him. By the way, Xiu, I heard Yongqiang just finished his civil service exam today. Be polite to him, what if he passes?"
Wang Changgui said.
"What should I do? We've already broken off the engagement, how can I get engaged again?"
Xiangxiu said, feeling uncomfortable.
"You make the decision yourself. After all, he is the only college student in the village. You know him well, and with his father's connections, you won't suffer if you marry him."
Wang Changgui calculated.
"understood."
Xiangxiu nodded slightly, turned around and greeted Yongqiang:
"Yongqiang, I heard you passed the civil service exam, how was it?"
"Generally, I do what I know how to do, and I just guess for what I don't know."
Yongqiang adjusted his glasses and said tactfully.
“Yongqiang, I was in jail when the engagement was broken off. You know that it was your father who reported me. I still have a problem with him.”
Hyang-soo wants to ease tensions.
“It’s not your fault. My dad caused trouble, and I was very angry too. Xiu, I’ve never had a chance to apologize to you on behalf of my dad.”
"No need to apologize, we're all from the same village, it's nothing!"
Xiangxiu smiled.
Yongqiang smiled too.
Xiangxiu understood her father's meaning: she couldn't be too cold or too enthusiastic towards Yongqiang; she should keep him hanging on for now.
I'll think about the next step after I pass the civil service exam.
Xu Hui and Wang Dana sat together and chatted.
Xiao Meng and Liu Ying whispered to each other, occasionally smiling.
The atmosphere at the scene was harmonious.
soon.
The food was served.
Round after round of drinking toasts, and before long, three rounds of drinks had been exchanged.
Xiao Meng and Liu Ying are drinking beverages.
Wang Dana and Wang Changgui, two heavy drinkers, took the lead in raising their glasses, which Xu Hui found a bit overwhelming.
"Xu Hui, I'd like to propose a toast to you!"
Xiangxiu brought over the white wine.
What kind of alcohol do you drink?
Xu Hui shook his head.
It's not a good thing for women to drink excessively.
"Why can't women drink? Xu Hui, you're looking down on women. I'll drink it all, and you can't drink less than me."
goodong...
Xiangxiu downed the glass of baijiu in one gulp, then showed the empty glass.
"Xiangxiu, aren't you making things difficult for me?"
"What's wrong, Xu Hui? Are you not even as good as a woman?"
Xiangxiu said it on purpose.
"Ok."
Xu Hui also downed a drink.
Now Xu Hui regrets it. He has a cashback system, but he'd rather have a hangover cure system.
However, Xu Hui got smarter next and placed a cup of tea and a cup of wine in front of him.
He drank the wine and secretly spat out the teacup.
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, everyone had drunk quite a bit, and the group's senior management had all left, leaving only a few close associates.
Xiao Meng and Liu Ying also went home early. They couldn't compare to the big boss, and they had to go to work tomorrow.
Liu Ying left not long before Liu Neng arrived.
He was holding several white plastic bags.
"Chairman Wang, thank you for investing in Xiangyashan. I'd like to toast you!"
Liu Neng not only wanted to pack up the food, but also wanted to drink alcohol for free.
"Chairman Wang, have you finished eating?"
"That's it, let's pack up and leave."
Wang Dana nodded.
He stood up, shook hands with Xu Hui, and prepared to return to the city.
"Slow down on the road."
Xu Hui stood up, but stumbled and almost fell.
He was in a semi-drunk state.
Looking at the table again, Yongqiang, Wang Changgui, and Xiangxiu were all completely drunk and unconscious.
In the blink of an eye.
It was around 10pm.
"Xiu, wake up, it's time to go home."
Xu Hui whispered in her ear.
"What? Go home to drink? No, right here! Whoever leaves is a little bastard!"
Xiangxiu murmured to herself, her head resting on the table.
"Yongqiang, wake up."
Xu Hui called out several times, but there was no response.
Yongqiang has been feeling very frustrated lately. After graduating from university and returning to his village, he experienced a mix of hope and disappointment.
The orchard has been dry for the past few days, and dozens of wells have been dug but no water has come out.
I'm so worried!
Only wine can truly soothe sorrow.
Tonight, Yongqiang drank several bottles of 43-proof liquor by himself.
"How to fix it?"
Xu Hui was troubled by the sight of the three drunkards.
soon.
I spotted a handcart in the village office courtyard.
The village office is only 100 meters away from Changgui's house.
Xu Hui put Yongqiang and Changgui on top and dragged Changgui home.
Changgui was placed on the sofa, and Yongqiang was placed on the kang (heated brick bed).
Finally, we came to Tak Cheong Show.
"wrong."
Xu Hui remembered.
If you put Xiangxiu on the sofa, there's not enough room for her to lie down.
If I put her on the kang (heated brick bed), what if something happens between her and Yongqiang? Won't she blame me when she wakes up?
