Chapter 106: The Story at the Wine Table
Seeing Luo Bingwen looking at him, Director Chen immediately pointed at him and asked, "Brother Hai, who is this young man? Do you think this young man looks like Brother Hai? Could it be that he is the son you raised outside without telling your sister-in-law? I remember that you only have one daughter." This man is indeed very close to Hai Yingmin, and he actually made such a joke when they met.
Hearing him say this, everyone behind him laughed. The woman who looked very much like Maggie Cheung smiled and said, "Director Chen, you are a bit bureaucratic. This young talent is the eldest son of the chairman of Rongguang Group. He is the nephew of our boss Hai. In a sense, he is also half a son. What's strange about the two people looking alike?"
"Oh? I said it wrongly. Don't blame me, Mr. Luo. Haha... Nice to meet you!" Director Chen looked at Hai Yingmin and then at Luo Bingwen, and smiled and greeted Luo Bingwen.
Since my uncle valued him so much, Luo Bingwen naturally wouldn't put on airs. He quickly extended his hand and shook hands with Director Chen's thick short palm: "No, you are my uncle's friend, that is, my elder. How dare Luo Bingwen blame you?"
"Haha, good, young man, you have a promising future." Director Chen patted Luo Bingwen on the shoulder affectionately, and was very satisfied with Luo Bingwen calling himself a junior.
"This is Mr. Yao Tianshun, the general manager of Hengfeng Company. You can call him Uncle Yao." Hai Yingmin introduced Luo Bingwen one by one: "This is Director Xu Manshi of the Social Security Center. She is a great god that my uncle usually can't invite. You have to toast Director Xu with two more glasses later."
Hai Yingmin pointed to the last woman and introduced her to Luo Bingwen: "This is Ms. Yang Xiaolan, deputy director of our Pudong District Economic and Trade Commission. She is my uncle's immediate superior. You have to toast a few more glasses of wine later."
While holding Yang Xiaolan's soft and boneless little hand tightly, Luo Bingwen thought about the purpose of Hai Yingmin arranging for him to meet these people.
Yang Xiaolan has short hair, a fair and rosy face, plump lips, a beautiful nose and big eyes. She is wearing a gray short-sleeved formal dress. She looks only about 25 or 26 years old. I didn't expect that she is already the deputy director of the district's Economic and Trade Commission.
Yang Xiaolan twitched her fingers slightly when he held her hand tightly, but there was no displeasure on her face.
"Director Chen, what should we drink today?" As soon as she sat down, Sun Jiali, who was sitting next to Director Chen, asked while rubbing her shoulder against Director Chen's arm.
"It's casual. The guests follow the host's wishes. Today we are the guests, so of course, Xiao Sun will drink whatever you say to Brother Chen." The beauty's offensive was unstoppable, and Director Chen said to Sun Jiali with a smile.
Sun Jiali glanced at Hai Yingmin, who was sitting in the main seat. The two of them had already had a tacit understanding in their eyes.
"Okay then!" Sun Jiali pressed the service light. Soon the door opened and a waiter came in: "Boss, what do you want?"
"Start serving the dishes, two bottles of Moutai." At the end, she emphasized: "Two bottles of Moutai, 30-year-old type."
Following Sun Jiali's instructions, the waiter brought the dishes in a stream. Each dish was carefully selected and rarely seen. The table was full of delicacies from the mountains and the sea, which was really dazzling and beautiful.
After three rounds of wine, at the signal of Hai Yingmin, Luo Bingwen stood up: "Thank you for your care, Director Chen. You are an elder. I toast Director Chen." In fact, until now, Luo Bingwen still didn't know which bureau Director Chen was the director of. However, Hai Yingmin must have his deep meaning in arranging things. So, at the signal of Hai Yingmin's eyes, Luo Bingwen stood up and toasted attentively.
"Haha, we can't do this. Bringing wine is blackmail, don't you know? Don't listen to your uncle, pick up your wine glass, Uncle Chen and you have a drink." Director Chen clinked his glasses with Luo Bingwen, and then raised his neck to drink the wine in the glass.
"Good alcohol tolerance! So refreshing!" Hai Yingmin clapped his hands and praised, and also picked up the wine glass in front of him, raised the wine in the glass and poured it into his neck: "I can't ask you to give me my opinion, I will drink a glass with you."
Director Chen sat down and laughed triumphantly. The short and thick arms rubbed Sun Jiali's body twice intentionally or unintentionally. When Luo Bingwen toasted Yao Tianshun, Sun Jiali had already picked up the wine glass and drank with Director Chen.
That Xu Manshi was very beautiful, but she had been serious since she sat at the table. Luo Bingwen persuaded her several times before she picked up the wine glass and touched her lips.
Compared with Xu Manshi, Yang Xiaolan was very generous. When she saw Luo Bingwen approaching her, she took the initiative to pick up the glass.
Later, Luo Bingwen found that Director Yang was very happy to drink. He basically accepted everyone's drink. He had an amazing alcohol tolerance and drank every glass to the bottom with everyone.
... Soon, two bottles of Moutai were finished in the process of toasting and changing cups. Sun Jiali arranged for the waiter to serve two more bottles. Except for Xu Manshi, everyone was a little excited. Director Chen began to say some irrelevant words, "Old Hai, it seems that we are missing something when drinking like this?..."
Luo Bingwen looked at Hai Yingmin in surprise, thinking that this man came with two women. Could he want something more exciting?
The three women at the table looked young and their looks were all different. According to Luo Bingwen's opinion, one of the two women, Yang Xiaolan and Xu Manshi, must have a close relationship with Director Chen.
As for Sun Jiali, it goes without saying that she is definitely uncle Hai Yingmin's favorite. In fact, this kind of thing happens a lot these days, and this is what happens between men and women. Luo Bingwen doesn't think that Hai Yingmin is sorry for his aunt by doing this.
A successful man who doesn't have a few women outside? Compared with his father, what are these people?
However, what makes Luo Bingwen a little strange is that Sun Jiali actually had a lively chat with Director Chen in front of her uncle today. Hai Yingmin kept drinking and eating with a smile, without showing the slightest hint of displeasure.
Looking at Xu Manshi and Yang Xiaolan, there is no ambiguity between Hai Yingmin and Yao Tianshun. The more so, it makes Luo Bingwen look a little strange.
Hearing Director Chen's words, Hai Yingmin asked with a smile: "Then how do you plan to drink?"
Director Chen looked at Sun Jiali next to him thoughtfully, and said with a smile: "Everyone tells a joke, and if it's not funny or can't be said, drink."
Xu Manshi couldn't help but frowned when she heard Director Chen was about to tell a joke. But Sun Jiali said with a smile: "Okay, I love to hear jokes the most. Director Chen, please tell me first."
"Okay, listen." Director Chen cleared his throat and began to tell stories with a smile: "It is said that a certain store has a harrier and hangs it at the door. When customers enter, the parrot says 'Welcome'. A girl I walked back and forth six times in disbelief, and the harrier followed suit six times. On the seventh time, the harrier said angrily, 'Boss, someone is playing with your bird!' Hahahahahaha..."
Everyone started to laugh along with Director Chen's laughter, and Sun Jiali even laughed so hard that she leaned forward and back with her white and tender hands, taking the opportunity to pat Director Chen's thigh from time to time.
However, Xu Manshi blushed and whispered: "You drink slowly, I will go to the bathroom..."
