Chapter Thirteen: The Killer at the Banquet Table

  Wangjiang Building is the highest-grade restaurant in this county. It is also the only restaurant in the entire county with an elevator. The luxurious and elegant hall is spacious and bright. The super-large tables that can accommodate twenty people dining at the same time are automatically controlled to rotate, shining brightly.

  And this time, the reception for the county inspection must be arranged here, otherwise, how can we show its importance.

  The head of family planning is Yan Zhenghong, and below him is Zhang Guantian. In fact, Zhang Guantian is the deputy director in charge of industry. He came all the way today just to accompany. Next is Li Hongguan, Deputy Director Li.

  Next to him was the township secretary Yu Nanping, and then the township head Zhu Youshui. Following them was the deputy secretary Zheng Nanlun, while Lü Qingyun sat at the lower end of the table, with only Zhang Yihua, the deputy director of family planning, sitting next to him. The other personnel were seated at another table.

  One dish after another was brought up slowly. The table was filled with a fragrant aroma in no time. It was truly a feast for the eyes, nose and taste buds. Zhu Youjian picked up the fine wine made from five grains, poured some into his cup, and started drinking first.

  Nanping first raised his wine glass. He toasted Director Yan, "Director Yan, you can take time out of your busy schedule to come here, it's an honor for our Heilong Township. I'd like to toast you a glass."

  Yan Zhenghong was very pleased, picked up his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Jiang Nanping also picked up another cup of wine. "Let's toast again, good things come in pairs, double happiness and double success!" Then, Jiang Nanping toasted several leaders again.

  Nanping took over the wine bottle and poured another full cup. "Director Yan, I'll toast you again, wishing everything goes as you wish!"

  Yan Zhenghong also drank it all in one gulp. Yan Zhenghong said, "Nanping, you can't just let me drink alone, you have to keep me company!" Zhang Guantian shook his head. "One glass is not enough, at least two glasses."

  Zhu You Shui took the opportunity to add a sentence. "Otherwise, I'll have three glasses, our secretary has high blood pressure and can't drink too much." Yan Zheng Hong gave him a glance. "Zhu You Shui, what's going on? Want to make progress? Good, first drink three cups in a row, show your determination."

  Zhu Youcai gritted his teeth, grabbed the wine bottle, brought over three cups, and then poured them full one by one. This cup alone held three ounces, so three cups would be about two liang of white wine.

  Zhu You Shui used four fingers to lightly pinch, and the three cups were lifted together. "Today, I'll just give you a floor-to-floor." The wine in the three cups slowly dripped down, and the wine in the top cup slowly turned into a thin stream, flowing into the middle cup, and then flowing into the bottom cup. The wine in the bottom cup slowly flowed into Zhu You Shui's mouth.

  Zhu Youcai drank three cups of wine in one gulp.

  Yan Zhenghong couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "There's wine, good atmosphere, let's have a few more cups. You guys can start drinking now, no need to invite us."

  Seeing Zhu Youshui's excellent performance, Zheng Nanlun couldn't sit still anymore. He also picked up his wine cup. "Director Yan, I'd like to toast you." However, Director Yan glanced at him and said, "Nanlun, you're a young man too. Look at Zhu Youshui, he drank three cups in a row. If you can drink three cups, then whatever number of cups I drink, I'll let you drink that many!"

  This General, remembered enough to be ruthless, these three cups added up, just a full two cups of wine. In one go, it could knock someone down. Zheng Nanlun gritted his teeth and he also downed the three cups of wine.

  He slowly said, "I don't have Zhu Xiang's skills, I can only drink one cup at a time, slowly. He drank the first cup, and his face slowly turned red. Then, he swayed and stood up, the second cup of wine was poured down in one gulp, and his hand pressed against the table. His face became even redder.

  Then, the third cup of wine was poured down.

  The whole person began to sway a bit. Zheng Nanlun shook his hand. "Director Yan, let's have two more cups." He slowly raised his wine glass again. Director Yan clinked glasses with him twice in a row.

  Zhu You patted Zheng Nanlun's shoulder. "Old buddy, let's have two more cups." Zheng Nanlun glared with his bloodshot eyes. "Drink if you dare, who's afraid of whom!"

  Zhang Yihua's face lit up with a brilliant smile. Her smile bloomed like a flower. As a professional drinker, she was naturally not afraid of drinking anymore.

  At this time, Zhang Yihua picked up the cup with both hands and raised it high to toast Director Yan. "Director Yan, your arrival has brought a ray of light to the entire Heilong Township, I'd like to offer you a toast."

  Yan Zhenghong was originally a military man and he also liked to drink, so when it came to the wine brought by Jing, he never refused. What's more, it was a beautiful woman who brought the wine.

  Director Yan took over the wine glass. "You toast me with wine, but I don't know whose wine I'm drinking."

  Zhang Yihua's smile grew thicker. "I'll introduce myself, I'm Zhang Yihua. Let me declare in advance, my name is Hua, but I'm not a spendthrift."

  "I'll keep you company for a cup, I'll drink first to show respect." As she said that, she raised her hand and downed the wine like it was water. Then, she picked up another cup of wine. "The second cup is Double Happiness Arrives!"

  Yan Zhenghong had drunk a lot of wine, but it was the first time he heard that the second cup of wine was called "Double Happiness Arrives at the Door".

  Yan Zhenghong held his cup in mid-air. "Zhang Yihua, if you can give me a reason, no matter how much you want me to drink, I'll drink it!"

  Zhang Yihua smiled slightly. "The first joy is that Director Yan has come to Heilong Township, bringing good fortune to our Heilong Township, this is the first joy! The second joy is that the results of this inspection are very satisfactory! This is the second joy!"

  Then Zhang Yihua toasted Director Zhang with another cup of wine. Zhang Guantian took the opportunity to lightly knock against her small hand while taking the cup.

  Zhang Guantian, Director Zhang did know this woman. Director Zhang smiled faintly. "Once you're born, twice you're familiar, drink a few more times and you'll be familiar. You must drink a few more cups."

  "Let's have a drink and then we'll call it quits. We won't leave until we're drunk, how about that?"

  Zhang Guantian raised his cup. "Zhang Yihua is not only good at drinking, but also a first-rate singer, Zhang Yihua, come on and sing one." Zhang Guantian waved his hand.

  "Director said so, you just speak up."

  Zhang Yihua's body trembled slightly, and she suddenly stood up. She walked a few steps to the front of the two directors. "Two directors, what song do you want to hear? What do you want me to sing? You point to whatever you want, and I'll sing it."

  Director Yan's eyes widened suddenly, this woman was simply a demon, with so many songs, she actually dared to be so bold and let them score. Was it intentional provocation or intentional embarrassment?

  "Great, great! Today is the first time I've seen Zhang Yihua like this. It seems that Director Yan's prestige is still great!"

  Seeking gold medals, seeking collections, seeking recommendations, seeking clicks, seeking comments, seeking red envelopes, seeking gifts, all kinds of requests, whatever you want, just throw it over!
