For Xiao Zheng, tonight was definitely not an ordinary gathering. It could even be said that it was the beginning of a new stage in his life. Therefore, at such an important moment, as one of the owners of Longfeng House, Lin Huayin did not even want to show her face. Because this was a night that belonged to Xiao Zheng, and also a night that she had been looking forward to for a long time. What she had to do was to wait at home, wait for his good news.
In ancient times, if a boxing master wanted to open a dojo and accept disciples, he had to first notify the local martial arts world, and then he had to go through layers of tests. Especially for foreigners, the test and difficulty were quite high. If he won, he would naturally obtain the qualification to open a dojo, but if he lost, he had to pack up and leave as soon as possible. Don't stay and embarrass yourself.
This custom was exclusive, and also a means to protect one's own rights. This was the case in the martial arts world, and in today's various industries and fields, there were such rules.
Newcomers to work had to pay respects to the dock, deal with the relationship with colleagues, and when necessary, treat others to a meal. Officials who parachuted into a certain area also had to pay respects to the local authority, or else they could not leave the office, and it would be difficult to carry out their work.
These customs in the ancient country of Hua Xia had a certain negative attribute, but wasn't it also the sharpest means to test one's ability? If one couldn't even handle this little challenge, how could one improve further in the future?
Xiao Zheng was clear about everything. He had also made appropriate mental preparations.
This was not an easy dinner. Ye Canghua's old friend, Director Mo's immediate superior, was politically at odds with Jin Shuheng. There had even been more than one dispute. On the other hand, Lu Dashan and Shang Jingtian — Ye Canghua once said that of the Four Heavenly Kings back then, except for Bai Wuxia who joined the Buddhist sect and gave up all worldly things, the other three could be said to dislike each other. Even the most moderate Shang Jingtian did not hide his attitude in this aspect.
Therefore, for Xiao Zheng, other than the recipe, the seating at the table was also very meticulous, and he could not shoot himself in the foot.
On the round table, three groups of people sat together, but they were clearly divided into three areas. Xiao Zheng arranged his seat between Ye Canghua and Shang Yao. He also arranged for Qin Shuang to be in between Chief Mo and Jin Shuheng. Whether it was the placement or the ingenious spacing, Xiao Zheng had put in a lot of effort to satisfy everyone.
But as soon as everyone sat down, Lu Dashan laughed and teased, "I say, Xiao Zheng, are you being sincere or are you doing this on purpose? Did you arrange for me and Old Shang to be so far away because you're afraid that we'll fight, or because we got along well and drank all your good wine? "
The first person to speak was none other than Lu Dashan, who had been Xiao Zheng's neighbor for two years. Xiao Zheng was taken aback at first, but then he smiled and said, "Uncle Lu, you're exaggerating. If I was afraid of the two of you fighting, would I dare to invite you over for a drink? Moreover, with your statuses and bearing, not to mention there's no enmity between the two of you, even if there was, it would have been resolved with a smile. "
Lu Dashan was the first to launch an attack, but it gave Xiao Zheng a good start. The question was simple, and the difficulty was even more average. It wasn't a problem for him to say it as a harmless joke. This also reflected Lu Dashan's love for Xiao Zheng.
The hearts of everyone present were like a mirror. They knew that Lu Dashan was deliberately going easy, but they didn't take it to heart. After waiting for Xiao Zheng's fluent response, they heard Shang Jingtian say with a smile, "Boss Lu. Back then, your capacity for alcohol was amazing. You had the feat of drinking for a day and a night to put down three Gods of Wine. Tonight, Xiao Zheng will set up the table. You have to drink to your heart's content. "
It sounded exaggerated, but in fact, it was a soft knife to Lu Dashan.
Put down three Gods of Wine? There was a limit to one's strength. The so-called not getting drunk after a thousand cups was just a description of a person's capacity for alcohol. If he really drank more than ten liters of wine, even the strongest man might not be able to bear it. The damage to the body was also great. When Lu Dashan was young and frivolous, he did do this kind of fight. But now that he was old, how could he have the mental strength? Even if there was, could Qin Shuang do it?
"Boss Shang. I haven't seen you for so many years. Your face is still kind, but your tongue is like a sword. "Qin Shuang looked at Shang Jingtian with a slightly sullen look. Her heart was unhappy.
She was originally an assassin. Even if Lu Dashan had worn down her murderous aura these years, her temperament was still upright. She was a typical straightforward person. This time, seeing that her husband was made a fool of, she didn't wait for Lu Dashan to push back. She directly aimed at Shang Jingtian and fired a cannon.
"Aunt Qin. My father praised Uncle Lu. Why do you have to satirize him? "Shang Yao saw a gap and gave Qin Shuang a hammer.
"Yao Yao. The elders are chatting. When is it your turn to speak? "Shang Jingtian squinted at Shang Yao and said with a stern face.
As a result, Lu Dashan's side fell into a disadvantageous position. He couldn't even occupy a word of reason.
Just a few back and forth, the atmosphere on the dining table became strange. Qin Shuang was pushed back. Shang Yao was suppressed by her strict father. Although Lu Dashan and Shang Jingtian were still full of smiles. But who couldn't see that the confrontation between the two was clearly not a show. It was caused by many years of accumulated grievances.
But anyone could also see that Shang's movement was, on one hand, to compete with their old opponent. On the other hand, it was naturally to give Xiao Zheng a big problem.
Before they drank a cup of wine, there were two people on the table who drank a big bowl of resentment. As the host, Xiao Zheng couldn't escape the blame.
After the table fell into a short silence, Xiao Zheng slowly picked up the wine cup. His expression was still calm: "Boss Shang, tonight I will definitely drink more than three people down. How about it? "
What kind of bold words were these? What kind of overbearing words were these?
How could there be an unknown person here? Even if everyone was here to support him, but in terms of status, Xiao Zheng was the lowliest one.
Knocking down three people, this could be counted as the greatest recovery for Lu Dashan's side. No matter how overbearing and unreasonable Shang Jingtian was, he had no other choice. Moreover, in the eyes of the world, he was humble and mediocre, he knew how to take advantage of the situation. He had to show enough face.
Now that Xiao Zheng had spoken up to this point, he only smiled amiably and said, "Ah Zheng, your words have caused many people here to break out in cold sweat. Even I am a little nervous. "
Xiao Zheng smiled faintly and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp. He poured a second cup and turned to look at Lu Dashan: "Uncle Lu. Are you interested in becoming the god of wine? "
Lu Dashan heard this and laughed heartily: "Are you trying to step on me?"
"I just don't know if I have the honor to stand on the shoulders of giants." Xiao Zheng raised his hand and said.
"I will give you this face!"
Lu Dashan laughed loudly. His eyes were filled with gratification: "Then who is the second person?"
Hearing this, Xiao Zheng raised his cup and drank the second cup. Then he slowly poured a third cup and turned to look at Shang Yao: "Miss Shang. If I have offended you in any way before. Using this cup of wine, I want to imitate the giants and bury all grudges with a cup of wine. What does Miss Shang think? "
