Power and Wealth

Night.

The private room of Xian Shui Restaurant has a strong alcohol smell. It’s so strong that one sniff will make you feel drunk.

Peng Gang and Yu Rongfeng were knocked out on the table, and only Guo Mingfeng and Geng Xinke are remaining. They are surprised to see Dong Xuebing is still standing, but he seems to be collapsing anytime. Only the Secretary of the Disciplinary Work Committee, Qu Yiqiang, noticed something strange. This new Director’s body is swaying and trying to balance himself after finishing one bottle. He did the same after he finished the second and third bottles…. He looks like he had reached his limit every time, but why is he still standing? He had drunk three bottles now!

One box of Baijiu is finished.

A few Staff members started cheering.

Zhou Yanru supported Dong Xuebing. “Director, are you alright?”

Dong Xuebing shook his head. “I… am not drinking… anymore… let’s end here.”

“I will help you back.” Zhou Yanru was about to stand up to settle the bill.

But the Geng faction is not going to let him off. Geng Xinke looked at Dong Xuebing and laughed. “We still have many bottles left. Director, let’s continue to drink a while more.”

Dong Xuebing waved his hand. “I… had drunk too much today… and you all are at your limits. Let’s continue another… day….”

Geng Xinke looks at Dong Xuebing. “We can still drink. Let’s not waste the alcohol.”

Guo Mingfeng stood up and opened two bottles. “Director Dong, we still have not drunk enough, and you cannot leave so early. This is your welcome dinner.”

Zhou Yanru could not hold back anymore. “Director Guo, are you done?”

Geng Xinke smiles. “Director Zhou, why are you getting angry? It’s just a dinner.”

“Can’t you all see Director Dong is at his limits?” Zhou Yanru stares at Geng Xinke in his eyes. “He had mentioned he is not feeling well, and what are you all trying to do?”

Geng Xinke looks at her. “Who says Director Dong is at his limits? I think he can finish three more bottles with no problems!”

Dong Xuebing suddenly shouted. “Alright! Let’s drink three more bottles!”

Geng Xinke laughed. “I know you are a straightforward person!”

“Director, you cannot drink anymore!”

Zhou Yanru doesn’t know what to say. Why did you react to Geng Xinke’s provocation? If you collapsed in front of everyone here, how are you going to command respect? He is purposely trying to embarrass you! Suddenly, she felt someone pinched her arm lightly. She looks at Dong Xuebing and returns to her seat after two seconds without saying anything.

Guo Mingfeng shouted. “Director Dong! Cheers!”

Dong Xuebing looks at the table. “I still have three bottles in this box! Let’s finish it! I will drink these three bottles, and you all will finish the three bottles in the other box! Let’s finish it in one go.”

Finish three bottles in one go?

Geng Xinke and Guo Mingfeng were stunned!

Even if they share the three bottles, they cannot finish one and a half bottles each!

Guo Mingfeng quickly says. “Director, we will drink first and see how much we can drink.”

“See how much you all can drink?!” Dong Xuebing pushed himself up against the table. “What’s wrong, Secretary Geng? Are you not giving me ‘face’? You all are the ones who say we should not waste alcohol. Then we shall finish these two boxes!” Dong Xuebing took out the remaining three bottles of jin Liu Fu from the box and placed them in front of him.

The staff members on the other two tables were shocked. They know Director Dong is drunk and might collapse anytime. How is he going to finish three more bottles? It’s 1.5 liters of Baijiu! All of them look at Geng Xinke and Guo Mingfeng.

Geng Xinke had no choice now. He cannot lose to Dong Xuebing in front of everyone.

“Alright! We will drink!” Geng Xinke puts on a brave front.

Guo Mingfeng took out the remaining three bottles from the box beside him.

Both of them do not have the intention of finishing all these bottles. They felt Dong Xuebing would puke and blackout after one or two more mouths. They will drink slowly until he embarrasses himself. Maybe they don’t even need to finish half a bottle.

Ding… Ding… the three of them knocks their bottles!

Geng Xinke and Guo Mingfeng placed their bottles on their mouths and look at Dong Xuebing. They are waiting for him to puke or collapse.

But the next moment, everyone’s jaw dropped!

Dong Xuebing lifted his bottle high up and poured the alcohol down his throat as if he is drinking a bottle of mineral water. He finished the bottle in less than twenty seconds and picked up the second bottle. He continues to drink without stopping!

One bottle….

Two bottles….

Three bottles….

Dong Xuebing only used slightly more than 80 seconds to finish three 500 ml bottles of Jin Liu Fu!

Everyone is stunned! They felt they had just watched a horror movie!

Damn! Is this still considered drinking alcohol?

I thought the New Director cannot drink anymore and will collapse if he takes one or two more gulps. How come he can drink so much suddenly?!

Dong Xuebing took a napkin and wiped his mouth. His body is no longer swaying, and he looks at the shocked Geng Xinke and Guo Mingfeng with a smile. “Oh, Director Geng, Director Guo. Why are you all not done yet? I have already finished three bottles. We are all waiting for you two.”

Guo Mingfeng paused for a second and started cursing in his heart. F**k you! Dong Xuebing!

Geng Xinke also understood what was going on.

Everyone in the room can tell what happened. The new Director is not drunk at all! He was only acting to set a trap for Geng Xinke and his men!

Damn!

This is too ridiculous!

Zhou Yanru bursts out laughing. She knows Dong Xuebing was acting when he pinched her arm lightly early.

Qu Yiqiang, who had maintained a poker face, smiles and looks at the new Subdistrict Director. Director Dong is very smart.

Geng Xinke and Guo Mingfeng can hold their liquor well, but that is against others. After drinking 250 ml of alcohol and getting spite by Dong Xuebing, they could not hold on anymore. Guo Mingfeng fell to the ground with the bottle in his hand, and the bottle smashed. He had only finished two-thirds of the bottle. Geng Xinke knew he cannot finish the bottle and puts it down. He would rather lose his ‘face’ than embarrass himself. But Jin Liu Feng’s punch is too strong. Even after he stops drinking, he felt the alcohol rushing to his head!

“Blech!” Geng Xinke threw up at the table!

Geng Xinke felt his head spinning, and before he blackouts, he cursed Dong Xuebing in his heart! They had all been fooled by him! They had wanted to show him who’s the boss, but they were tricked! He had shown everyone who’s in charge!

This guy is too scheming!

F**k! You are acting from the start!

“Secretary Geng!”

“Director Guo!”

Two Staff Members rushed over to help them.

Dong Xuebing looks at them helplessly. “I already ask you all to stop, but you all still insist on drinking. Drinking too much is bad for health. Sigh… look at you all. Director Zhou, call for an ambulance.” All the Geng’s faction members had collapsed, and that did not stop him from being sarcastic. But he was telling the truth. He had said to stop drinking since the start, but they insisted on offering him toasts and tried to make him drunk. Who can they blame?

Zhou Yanru acknowledged and called for an ambulance while holding back her laughter.

Dong Xuebing called the waitress over. “Give me the bill. How much is it?”

Zhou Yanru replied. “Director, you can sign it off and settle at the end of the month.”

Dong Xuebing smiled. “I am giving everyone a treat and don’t need to sign it off.” He took out his wallet from his bag. “Let’s end the dinner and get someone to carry Secretary Geng and the rest out of the restaurant to wait for the ambulance. Hey, slow down and watch the door frame. Don’t let them knock their heads.”

Dong Xuebing starts to give out orders. He is sober and doesn’t look drunk at all!

Zhou Yanru is impressed. Dong Xuebing’s alcohol tolerance had shocked everyone.

The Staff Members look at the empty bottles on the table. They had just watched their new Director drinks six bottles of Baijiu within twenty minutes.

Wow!

Is the new Director human?!

No matter how well you can drink, there should be a limit. You had made four people drunk by yourself and finished six bottles of Jin Liu Fu! How can you hold so much alcohol?!

Everyone has seen good drinkers, but this is the first time they meet someone who can drink so well.

Some Staff Members can only drink 50 ml or 100 ml, and some can drink up to 500 ml. Some people can finish one or two bottles, but this is the first time they see people drink Baijiu by boxes!

There are six bottles in one box, and their new Director had finished everything by himself!

What’s more surprising is Dong Xuebing is sober after drinking so many bottles! He is not drunk at all!

Dong Xuebing looks like he can still drink one more box!

Damn!

This guy is a monster!

Everyone looks at Dong Xuebing with respect!
