Everyone walked into the private room, and each of them ordered a few dishes that they liked to eat or famously known here. With good food, how could there be no wine? So they ordered a few bottles of good wine as well.
The dishes didn't come up so fast but the wine came up first. Lin Zheng Rui opened two bottles of wine in one breath and when everyone cups was full, Huang Shi Xiong lead everyone to toast: "Come, don't say anything and drink this cup first. ”
All the managers echoed, but Jiang Qi tried to stop them: “ Wait for the dishes to come and drink ba. Like this will be easy to drunk.”
Jiang Qi knows that he easily drunk, and he hasn't been drinking recently. So, drinking a large cup of wine maybe will left him intoxicated especially without a padded stomach.
“No, not allowed. Jiang Qi, if you don't speak, I almost forgotten we have to punish you to drink. We will drink a cup but you have to drink two cups right now.”
Ah? Jiang Qi complaint incessantly in his heart. His situation right now can simply be summarize as ~~~ You reap what you sow.
TLN: Chinese idiom used were zì zuòniè, bù kě huó. It was half of the phrase.
The full phrase were tiān zuòniè, yóu kě wéi; zì zuòniè, bù kě huó
meaning - When Heaven sends calamities, there is hope of weathering them; when man brings them upon himself, there is no hope of escape.
There's no way around it. So, under ‘compelling force’ of all the managers, Jiang Qi finished his two cups of punishment.
Everybody looked at Jiang Qi drink the two cups finished before they started to chat with each other again. Lin Zheng Rui, who was sitting next to Jiang Qi, asked him: “Are you okay."
“ I'm okay.” Jiang Qi shakes his head with somewhat blank expression.
A moment later, the dishes were served. Jiang Qi quickly clipped the food and eat it slowly. He refused to be drunk and fully aware his own bottom line is not great. He's afraid once he drunk, he would said something regrettable.
The dishes were delicious. Taking advantage of everyone’s attention on chatting and drinking, Jiang Qi eat vigorously. En...sure enough. It was so delicious.
“ Ai...I told you ah, this kind of wife, it was better not to be married with in the first place.”
Jiang Qi looked at Huang Shi Xiong flushed face and knew this fella should have been drunk silly. And looking at the number of wine bottles in front of him, the amount he drank shouldn't be small either.
Huang Shi Xiong continued his rambling: “ As they say a wife is not as good as woman outside. After marriage your wife will wait for you at home, tried to control you and made you listened to their words all the time. It was annoying.”
“Yes, yes, yes... you're right.” Several other people nodded in agreement.
Jiang Qi frowned: "What are you talking about? Your wife stayed at home helping you to take care your family, why did you speak about them this way."
Huang Shi Xiong shook his head. " Manager Jiang, you don't know because you have not married."
"Yeah, it's true. Later when you got married, definitely your situation would become like this as well. You should take our words for it." Wang Pu said.
Jiang Qi's irritation wanted to burst out, but Lin Zheng Rui stuffed a cup of wine in his hand and said: “ Well, well...enough chatting, let's toast and continue to drink.”
“ Good! Everyone lets drink……”
Do not know how many cups he had drank afterwards, Jiang Qi felt dizzy and wanted to go to the bathroom.
Jiang Qi stood up and walked to open the door. Lin Zheng Rui saw that Jiang Qi was so drunk and blurred, quickly went and helped him out. " Manager Jiang, are you okay?"
“ It's okay, no problem.”Jiang Qi shook his head and rushed out urgently.
“Where are you going?” Lin Zheng Rui didn’t drink much tonight, plus he’s also a good drinker, so he’s still sober at the moment.
“I am going to the washroom.”
“There is a washroom in our private room.”
Jiang Qi shook his head: "Don't want this one."
“ Why?" Lin Zheng Rui was puzzled.
" Because I want to use the washroom outside."
What kind of logic is this? Lin Zheng Rui had no choice but to help Jiang Qi go out. When Jiang Qi went inside the washroom, he waited outside, fearing that if Jiang Qi walk back alone he would wrongly enter into someone else private room.
Jiang Qi came out very quick. His face appeared much better. Not as drunk as before.
But looking good does not mean he’s not drunk. Jiang Qi followed closely behind Lin Zheng Rui. Because there is a washroom inside the private room, the washroom outside is relatively far away.
Two people walked around for a while to their private room, but when they nearly reach, Jiang Qi suddenly change his direction to another place until Lin Zheng Rui had to pull his hand: “ Manager Jiang, it's over here. We're not going into that direction de.”
Jiang Qi break away from Lin Zheng Rui’s hand and continue walking forward.
“ I saw… I saw someone?”
“ Who did you see?” Lin Zheng Rui looks at the same direction as Jiang Qi's eyes but there was no person in sight.
“ Ke Yan!”
“ President Ke? Our president?”
“ En.”
“ Then...we had more reason for not going into that direction, ah.”
“ But why?” Jiang Qi looked at Lin Zheng Rui inexplicably, but all he can see are several figures shaking their heads side to side, making him own head dizzier.
“ You also knew my legs would go all soft every time I saw President Ke. So it was better for us to avoid him.”
“ No! I want to go.” Directly after speaking, he walked away.
