Originally, Li Mubai and Ding Yigen were not eligible to participate in the noon meal. I don't know if Ding Peilin was in a good mood or for some reason, but these two juniors appeared at the noon meal.
The No. 1 private room of the People's Hotel can accommodate at least two large tables, but at the request of Mr. Ding, they were replaced with two ordinary Eight Immortals tables. It was said to be a dinner party, but there were not many people participating.
There were only four people at Mr. Ding's table, but there were two more people at the table between Li Mubai and Ding Yigen.
In addition to Ding Yiyi and Zuo Li, there were two women and one man at the dinner table.
As the host, Zuo Li introduced them one by one.
The girl sitting on the right side of Li Mubai is called Pei Qinglin, which sounds like a relatively neutral name, and her dress is also relatively neutral. Her short hair exudes a heroic appearance, as if she has been trained in the army.
Same. Especially those big watery eyes, just like the clear lake water, revealing innocence.
The girl sitting on her right is called Zhao Haiyan. Although she has long flowing hair and is very beautiful, I don't know why, but the look in this girl's eyes makes people feel very uncomfortable.
A bit gloomy.
Another male compatriot is named Bai Xiaoshan. This person's identity is a bit special, especially his voice. He sounds a bit like someone from Guangdong Province. But after talking for a while, I realized that his relationship is Xiangjiang.
For people over there, for now, Xiangjiang still belongs to the United Kingdom, but in a few years, this Pearl of the Orient will return to the embrace of the motherland.
In addition to talking a lot with Li Mubai, Ding Yiyi also had a little interest in Bai Xiaoshan. As for the two girls, Ding Yiyi basically didn't even look at them.
However, Zhao Haiyan was very active at the dinner table. Not only did she frequently toast to Ding Gengen, but she was also very enthusiastic with Bai Xiaoshan.
Bai Xiaoshan seems to be about the same age as Ding Yigen, but his Mandarin is worse. Many times, Zhao Xiaoyan cannot understand what he is saying. And Li Mubai, the youngest at the dinner table, was directly touched by Zhao Xiaoyan.
Ignored.
Li Mubai didn't care. In this kind of environment, eating was always not that comfortable. Although he didn't sit at the same table with the older generation, there was still a big difference between being with young people.
At Zuo Li's suggestion, the young people at this table toasted to the elders at Ding Peilin's table. The four at the table were not completely familiar with these children, but at least they had heard of them. Only Li Mubai
This face has never been seen by anyone, and no one has even heard of his name. Of course, except Zuo Jiahua. He knows the relationship between this young guy and the young master of the Ding family.
Li Mubai was the last one to propose a toast. To be honest, if Ding Gengen hadn't threatened him and said that if he didn't toast, he wouldn't want Jiang Hongyu's contact information. Li Mubai really didn't have such a plan.
"Although this little guy looks well-behaved on the surface, if we talk about courage, he is probably a bit older than that little bastard in our family." Ding Peilin smiled and took a sip when almost all the juniors toasted.
, did not say anything, but when it came to Li Mubai, Ding Peilin did not rush to raise his glass, pointed at him and said with a smile: "The grandson of the old Huo family was beaten by him when he was in the army. He had a black nose and a swollen face. I didn't expect it."
, and finally he left the army because of a local bastard."
The grandson of the old Huo family!
After hearing Ding Peilin's words, the people at the table couldn't help but pay attention to Li Mubai.
There may be many people with the surname Huo in China, but there is only one person who can be called Lao Huo by Ang Ding Peilin, and that is his contemporary, Huo Zhengen, Huo Lao. This man is also one of the giants in China, regardless of whether
Whether in the military or political circles, this old man has extremely high prestige. It can be said that he is on par with the old man in front of him.
However, apart from the shock, what attracted the most attention to the other three people at the table was Ding Peilin's last words.
Although the old man seems to speak very casually and just open his mouth. However, everyone here knows very well that when the old man is in this position, any word, even a look or an action, it is...
It has extraordinary significance.
"Grandpa Ding, wasn't I young and frivolous?" Li Mubai blushed a little when Ding Peilin said that. He didn't expect that guy Ding Gengen had revealed all his "records" in the army.
"Have you seen it? A kid with a big butt knows how to put gold in his face, and he is still young and frivolous." Ding Peilin laughed and scolded Li Mubai, and said loudly: "I heard that little bastard said that you have a good drinking capacity. Today
Let me, an old man, open his eyes, relax his mind, and act coyly like a girl."
Sweat!
Li Mubai really couldn't find any words to describe this old man. No wonder Ding Yigen looks so tough, it turns out that his roots are here.
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
The last thing Li Mubai wanted to hear was to compare himself with women. This guy was still very chauvinistic at heart. Then, he brought over a big bowl.
"Xiaobai, you are so unkind."
Just when Li Mubai was about to pour the wine, Ding Yiyi came over and said, "Aren't you going to fool my grandpa with just one bottle?"
What?
Is a bottle of 52-degree Wuliangye considered fooling?
When the people at the table heard Ding Yiyi's words, their eyes suddenly widened.
You know, this is not just some random friends sitting around chatting, every one of them is a very important figure in Dongliao Province.
In this kind of situation, drinking can only be described as being in moderation, and this level completely depends on the person in the main seat at the table. If someone drinks one drink, the companion cannot force him to drink two drinks.
What matters in this kind of occasion is a wink, and drinking is just a tool for communication. If you treat it as a drinking fight, it will not only be inconsistent with your identity, but also inappropriate with the current occasion.
"Take it easy, I, this old guy, want to see how much you can drink." Ding Peilin insisted like a child, "I, this old guy, am here to take care of you, I'm afraid you will
bird!"
Okay, this is true temperament.
Although those few people felt that what the old man said was a bit rough, this was Lao Ding's consistent style. Although he was just a mud-legged man at the beginning, even after liberation, when he took off his military uniform and entered politics, he still maintained his original style.
.But it is such an old man who is standing at the pinnacle. Not to mention that he is called a legend in the political arena in China. Even among the powerful countries, this old man's deterrence is unparalleled.
No small matter.
Ding Yiyi ordered the largest sea bowl and poured two bottles of 52-degree Wuliangye into it.
Several other young people also gathered around at this time.
It’s not that no one has ever seen someone drink, but it’s still very rare for a guy to drink two bottles of Wuliangye at one time.
Humph, sensationalizing.
Zhao Haiyan stood at the outside of the circle and let out a cold snort.
She has been the center of attention since she was a child, but today she found that she was not the protagonist. Whether it was Ding Yiyi or Bai Xiaoshan, the two men she considered the most important did not look at her with new eyes, and there was a feeling in her heart.
Unspeakably depressed. At this moment, seeing Li Mubai become the center of attention again, he snorted softly in his nose and muttered something in an undetectable voice.
She thought that her voice was very low and only she could hear it. But she didn't know that except for herself, everyone heard this soft sentence.
Especially Ding's face darkened immediately.
He doesn't allow anyone to look down on his brother in front of him, and he doesn't allow anyone to make irresponsible remarks, even if she is a woman.
However, just when he was about to have an attack, Li Mubai's shoe sole touched his instep and gave him a very subtle look that said he shouldn't behave like a woman like this.
Although Li Mubai did it very covertly, he still did not escape the keen observation of the old man Ding Peilin.
"You're making a fool of yourself. If you drink too much in a while, Lao Gen, you have to carry him away for me and find a place to sleep. Oh, don't forget, you also paid the rent." Li Mubai made a haha.
Before, he also felt that doing so was a bit grandstanding, but after hearing Zhao Xiaoyan's words, he felt that it was not grandstanding. Mr. Ding must have a purpose that he wanted to achieve, or something that he wanted to achieve if he made such a request.
He wanted to express his thoughts. It's just that he hasn't reached the point where he can understand it yet, and his level is not enough. But there is one thing he believes in very much, that is, this old man will never harm him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Mubai held up the porcelain bowl with white background and blue flowers steadily with both hands.
He leaned his head forward and put his mouth on the edge of the porcelain bowl.
Dong dong dong...
In less than two minutes, Li Mubai drank two entire bottles of 52-degree Wuliangye without a drop of wine left.
"Grandpa Ding, this is my extraordinary performance."
Putting the bowl firmly on the table, Li Mubai's words were still clear except for the fact that his face was slightly red.
"Not bad."
Ding Peilin was actually a little worried. That was nearly two kilograms of liquor. However, seeing Li Mubai's current performance, he was also very satisfied. Then, he raised the cup in front of him and drank the wine in it.
However, he believed that the people at the table should understand his intentions.
