Chapter 40 - 40 38 Drinking Until Vomiting

40: Chapter 38: Drinking Until Vomiting 40: Chapter 38: Drinking Until Vomiting “Minister Sun, please order,” Wang Dazhuang said.

Sun Changjiu let out a chuckle, feigning modesty, “No need, no need, you order, I’m easy to please.”

Easy to please my foot, Wang Dazhuang cursed inwardly, but outwardly he remained polite, “Minister Sun, you are our guest today, it’s only natural for you to choose.

If you keep being so modest, I’ll feel embarrassed.”

Only then did Sun Changjiu take the hint, “Since you all insist, I’ll just take up your kind offer.

I’ll just have a little of everything.” After saying this, he took the menu and really did order casually, selecting seven or eight dishes, each one a pricy speciality of the restaurant.

Then he added, “Seven or eight dishes should be enough for three people; let’s not order too much.

If we can’t finish it, it would be a waste.

Do you think we need anything else?

As for drinks, just pick something light, I still have to drive later, just a little taste will do, haha.”

Looking at his utterly hypocritical face, Wang Dazhuang felt an impulse to get closer, “Let’s start with that for now, we can always order more if it’s not enough.

As for the drinks, bring us three bottles of Maotai.

Minister Sun, since you’re out today, let’s enjoy ourselves, don’t worry about anything else.”

“Haha,” Sun Changjiu let out a genuinely hearty laugh this time, his eyes twinkling with admiration as he looked at Wang Dazhuang: “Young Wang, you are quite capable for your age.

Keep up the good work, you have a promising future ahead.”

“Haha, thank you for your compliments, Minister Sun,” Wang Dazhuang replied with a smile.

Tangyu merely watched the performance of the two men with a neutral expression, a smile playing on his lips.

Life was like this, everyone pretending, everyone wearing a mask of hypocrisy.

That was life, an interesting life.

As the minutes ticked by with light chitchat and gossip, the dishes slowly began to arrive, along with the three bottles of Maotai.

Of course, two of these bottles contained fake liquor prepared in advance by Wang Dazhuang.

Just as he was about to open the real Maotai, a hand swiftly grabbed the two bottles, stealthily setting aside the authentic one and opening the counterfeit instead.

Wang Dazhuang was taken aback, wanting to signal with his eyes that he had grabbed the wrong bottle, but Tangyu gave him a reassuring look, which left him utterly confused.

Although he hadn’t known Tangyu for long, Wang Dazhuang had a fairly good sense of his character and knew he wasn’t a frivolous person.

But today’s maneuver was baffling to him; a seasoned player like Minister Sun could easily discern real from fake liquor.

If he discovered it was counterfeit, the deal today would be ruined and they would face a severe reprimand from Li Jie.

At this point, though, there was nothing he could do.

“Minister Sun, since I’m the youngest here, let me handle the rough work of pouring tea and liquor,” Tangyu said as he opened the bottle and moved towards Minister Sun.

As he poured the drink, his fingers tapped swiftly on Sun Changjiu’s body, though the minister paid it no mind, merely flinching slightly.

Tangyu filled a cup for Minister Sun and then one for himself, saying, “Minister Sun, I was blown away by your talent and charm at first sight.

You truly are a young and promising leader with a boundless future.

It’s my honor to drink with you today, a long-awaited opportunity.

Here’s to you, Minister; I’ll drink first, you take your time.” With that, Tangyu downed a cup of the ostensibly fake but realistically strong liquor.

“Haha, very impressive, quite insightful and enthusiastic, with a promising future.

Okay, I’m not much for liquor, so I’ll just drink half,” Sun Changjiu said, his face jiggling with laughter.

Wang Dazhuang was dumbfounded, but what shocked him next was that after drinking half a cup, Sun Changjiu’s face showed a hint of surprise as he looked at his glass, “Good liquor, truly good liquor.

Which version of Maotai is this?

I’ve never had it before.

Haha, Young Wang, you are too kind.

Why so formal when you said we should keep it casual?

You’re making me spend too much.”

Wang Dazhuang gaped in astonishment, What’s going on?

It was clearly fake liquor, a type he had tasted countless times himself, merely cheap market liquor in a Maotai bottle.

This type of liquor was harsh and difficult to swallow, yet this tricky old fellow was praising it as good liquor?

Could it be that he didn’t know how to drink?

That was obviously impossible, considering his belly, which looked like he was eight months pregnant; his taste had to be discerning, he couldn’t possibly not tell this bad liquor apart?

Wang Dazhuang turned his gaze towards Tangyu, and upon catching a few meaningful looks from him, he was startled, a thought occurring to him: Could this be related to Tangyu?

But how did he manage it?

After speaking, Minister Sun proceeded to finish the remaining half of his drink.

“Minister Sun really has a great capacity for liquor; you flatter me too much, I’m quite overwhelmed.

Come, Minister Sun, drink up,” Tangyu said, quickly filling up another cup for Minister Sun.

Wang Dazhuang also caught on, his face full of flattery, “Look at you, Minister, you’re our esteemed guest, how could I dare neglect you?

Come, Minister Sun, eat and drink to your heart’s content.”

Sun Changjiu, having loosened up under the concerted efforts of Wang Dazhuang and Tangyu, drank heartily and vigorously.

A good amount of the two bottles of fake liquor ended up in his stomach.

Wang Dazhuang was quite surprised; normally, this difficult character was hard to deal with.

How come he was so agreeable today, drinking without any prompting, and even heartily at that?

He alone almost managed to down a liter and a half of liquor and now appeared quite tipsy.

Tangyu gave Wang Dazhuang a look: “Bring the contract.”

Wang Dazhuang immediately caught on; now was the perfect time to talk business.

He had already prepared the contract and a pen, “Minister Sun, now that we’ve had our fill and had a good drink, perhaps it’s time to discuss some official business?”

Sun Changjiu’s face was red and his ears were hot, his gaze hazy and dazed, he waved a big hand and said, “Haha, I really enjoyed drinking today.

Alright, Brother Wang, discuss whatever you want to discuss.”

Seeing this, Wang Dazhuang’s face lit up with joy, it seemed today’s matter would be successful.

He couldn’t help but look at Tangyu with admiration.

Something he had been grinding away at for half a month without progress had been so easily resolved by Tangyu—what talent!

“Haha, Minister Sun, you’re really a man of great spirit and decisiveness.

About that case of ours, Minister Sun, do you think it’s possible to sign now?

As for the price, there really isn’t any way around it, it can’t be less than two hundred thousand.

But, Minister Sun, if you need some ‘dark points,’ we can do 5 percent,” Wang Dazhuang said with a smile.

‘Dark points’ were a slang term; in plainer words, it meant kickbacks.

Five percent was ten thousand.

This ten thousand was also approved from above as allowable.

“Two hundred thousand won’t work,” Minister Sun waved dismissively.

Wang Dazhuang suddenly felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.

He thought things were settled, so why was it suddenly not working?

What game was this damn fellow playing?

“Brother Wang, you have treated me so well today, how could I let you suffer a loss?

I will add twenty thousand, two hundred twenty thousand.

Forget about the dark points,” Sun Changjiu said.

“Uh…”

Wang Dazhuang was truly dumbfounded.

Was this damn fellow drunk out of his mind?

He had been firmly pressing down the price for over half a month, and now suddenly he wanted to raise it, and even forgo the dark points?

Wang Dazhuang looked bewilderedly at Tangyu, not understanding why, but at this moment, he only had one thought: to seek Tangyu’s opinion.

Tangyu smiled faintly and said, “Sign it, only a fool wouldn’t.”

Hearing Tangyu’s words, Wang Dazhuang inexplicably felt reassured.

Calling this damn fellow difficult, this time you brought it on yourself, you can’t blame anyone else.

Wang Dazhuang quickly amended the contract and handed it to Sun Changjiu, saying, “Minister Sun, since you are so polite, we can only show courtesy in return.

Please look over the contract, and if there are no issues, please sign here.”

Sun Changjiu directly took the pen, didn’t even look, and signed his name, saying, “I trust your sincerity.” After signing, he handed it to Wang Dazhuang.

Seeing Sun Changjiu had signed, Wang Dazhuang finally relaxed completely, glad to have finally settled it.

—Pong—

After signing, Sun Changjiu directly collapsed onto the table and started snoring heavily.

Wang Dazhuang was stunned.

It seemed this damn fellow was actually not sober at all.

Whatever, as long as the contract was signed, it was fine.

Wang Dazhuang nudged Sun Changjiu, but there was no response.

“He’s really a pig,” Wang Dazhuang muttered under his breath, then looked at Tangyu and said, “Let’s move him down and call a car to send him back.”

It took quite an effort for the two of them to get Sun Changjiu into a taxi and send him directly back to his company.

After settling the account, Wang Dazhuang threw an arm around Tangyu, looking at him the way Zhu Bajie looked at his wife.

“Don’t look at me like that, I’m not into that,” Tangyu said.

“Damn—” Wang Dazhuang pouted and said, “Tangyu, you’ve got to tell me how you did it?

I’m absolutely sure, those two bottles of wine were definitely the fake ones I bought.

I tasted it too, it was fierce and spicy, how come that damn fellow Sun behaved as if he was drinking Immortal Brew?

I know Sun’s drinking capacity, he can’t be put down without at least three kilos of liquor, how could he get drunk on just one and a half?

This doesn’t make sense, man, come clean, how did you do it?”

Tangyu pursed his lips and said, “Well, I really don’t know.

Existence is reasonable, there is nothing in this world that is unreasonable.”

“Damn—”

“Brother, you are getting really good at acting, I’m certain this definitely has something to do with you.

Your methods are too brilliant, they make me kneel in admiration.

I thought this case was dead, but brother, you turned decay into magic, spending less than a thousand to settle this damn fellow, and even raised the price by twenty thousand.

Hehe, at least those extra twenty thousand are for us.

Brother, you are truly a god,” Wang Dazhuang said with a look of admiration.

“Cough, I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about,” Tangyu said.

Wang Dazhuang smacked his lips, but he was convinced that Tangyu was definitely not simple.
