Zhuzhu was overjoyed. "Thank you so much!"
After a few pleasantries, two men pushed open the door and entered. One was about forty-five or forty-six, bald, with a greasy face. The other was thinner, likely under forty, with a rather shifty gaze. As soon as they entered, his eyes swept over Yan Ruxue and the other two women without any pretense.
Yan Ruxue stood up to greet them, smiling. "Secretary Han, Deputy Director Dong, please have a seat."
The greasy man was Deputy Director Dong, and Secretary Han was his subordinate. They were very close, and Deputy Director Dong would always bring Secretary Han along for occasions like this.
Deputy Director Dong chuckled. "Little Yan, we could have just found a casual place to eat. You insisted on coming to such a high-class establishment. Aren't you making me look bad?"
Yan Ruxue smiled. "Deputy Director Dong, you are our honored guest, so we naturally have to go all out to provide the best."
Deputy Director Dong nodded. Yan Ruxue then introduced Ye Tian. "This is our company's Vice President, Ye Ming, President Ye."
Deputy Director Dong merely gave a faint nod. Ye Tian was not a beauty, so he wasn't interested.
After everyone was seated, various delicacies were served. The prices here were very high, with a table easily costing over ten thousand yuan. The most expensive items were the drinks. Secretary Han ordered six bottles of aged Maotai and four bottles of red wine priced in the hundreds of thousands each.
After ordering the drinks, Secretary Han found Ye Tian increasingly annoying, feeling he was out of place. He exchanged a look with Deputy Director Dong. Deputy Director Dong smiled and said, "President Ye, you're so young and already a vice president. Truly accomplished. Come, let me toast you three times."
Secretary Han quickly chimed in, "Boss, the doctor said you should drink less recently."
Ye Tian didn't think much of it. "Then Deputy Director Dong, please drink a little less. I'll finish mine first."
Even without his memories, Ye Tian knew his capacity for alcohol. He felt that drinks like these were no different from plain water to him.
He immediately raised his glass and downed it in one go.
Deputy Director Dong smiled and took only a small sip. He said a few words and then picked up the second glass.
After consecutively finishing three cups, Ye Tian had consumed nearly half a liter of liquor, but his expression showed no change.
Secretary Han chuckled. "President Ye has a great capacity for drink. Let's switch to larger glasses."
He beckoned a server to bring half-liter glasses and filled Ye Tian's to the brim.
Ye Tian raised his glass and said to Deputy Director Dong, "Deputy Director Dong, I'm toasting you. I'll finish mine first, you can drink as you please."
Seeing Ye Tian down half a liter of strong liquor in one gulp, Deputy Director Dong was somewhat surprised. He smiled and said, "Good capacity!"
This time, Deputy Director Dong also drank about a third of his glass.
Ye Tian said, "Good things come in pairs. I'll have my second toast now."
At this point, Ye Tian took the initiative, using the half-liter glass to toast.
Deputy Director Dong smiled. "Alright, I'll finish mine too."
Ye Tian set his cup down. He had already consumed over half a liter, so drinking another two ounces was nothing. Moreover, he was a genuine connoisseur of fine liquor, and it would be a waste not to enjoy such good wine.
After drinking another two ounces, Deputy Director Dong started to feel the effects. He smiled and said, "Little Yan, those films and TV dramas you produced were quite good. However, some parts need revision."
Yan Ruxue quickly asked, "Deputy Director Dong, what parts need revision? We'll correct them immediately!"
Secretary Han also raised his glass and smiled. "President Ye, I'd like to toast you twice as well."
The server refilled Ye Tian's glass. Without blinking, he tilted his head back and finished it. "Thank you, I'll finish mine first."
Secretary Han chuckled. "President Ye, take it easy. I'll toast you again!"
Secretary Han had ulterior motives, thinking that after Ye Tian drank over a liter of strong liquor, even if he didn't get drunk, his stomach wouldn't be able to handle it.
However, after Wu Bei downed another half-liter, his expression remained unchanged.
Secretary Han frowned slightly, wondering how he could drink so much. He raised his glass again and smiled. "President Ye, let's make it 'Four Seasons of Prosperity.' I'll toast you twice more."
Ye Tian realized the man was deliberately trying to get him drunk. He smiled slightly and said, "How about this: Secretary Han uses a small glass, and I use a large one. You drink half a glass, and I'll drink a full glass."
Ye Tian's full glass was half a liter, while the other man's half glass was about two ounces. This was a ratio of one to five. Secretary Han's alcohol tolerance was actually quite good, and he was also a man who enjoyed drinking. He immediately smiled and said, "Alright, President Ye, I'll accompany you to the death today!"
