Chapter 1461: Drink

It's ten o'clock.

In the small banquet hall.

Under the consecutive toasts from Lu Weiguo, Chen Mingming, and others, Dong Xuebing has already consumed about 500 ml of white liquor. His entire being is swaying, and he can't even stand steadily. Constantly, Chang Juan and Gong Na swiftly support him on either side, both anxious.

Mayor Dong drank too much.

This is bad.

Chang Juan quickly decides, "Let's leave the table first."

Chen Mingming immediately says, "We haven't left yet. How can we leave the table?"

Lu Weiguo laughs, "Right, no one is allowed to leave early today. Let's continue drinking." Updated from

Annoyed, Chen Yunsong says, "Mayor Dong can't handle it anymore. If he continues, something bad might happen."

An official from the city's investment promotion department says, "We're just starting to enjoy ourselves. We can't leave now."

Gong Na is also full of resentment. The goal of getting Mayor Dong drunk has already been achieved, but these people are not satisfied. They still want to force more alcohol into Mayor Dong. They won't stop until Mayor Dong is sent to the hospital. Mayor Dong's alcohol tolerance is not good. If they continue like this, it might lead to casualties. This is not a trivial matter. How many cases of sudden death due to alcohol poisoning have occurred?

Chang Juan no longer cares, "Xuebing, let's go."

But Dong Xuebing, shaking off their hands, says with a tongue-tied voice, "Why leave? I haven't had enough yet. Um, let's keep drinking."

Chen Yunsong quickly says, "You are already drunk."

Dong Xuebing sways and says, "I'm not drunk, it's still early."

Someone cheers, "Right, Mayor Dong has a great alcohol tolerance. Let's have one more."

Someone shouts, "Mayor Dong has great alcohol tolerance. Let's have another one."

Chang Juan and Gong Na are frustrated. They can't pull him away. Despite this situation, Dong Xuebing picks up a full cup of liquor, "It's not fair for me to drink alone. Come, I propose this toast. Let's all drink together."

An official from the city's investment promotion department says, "Don't drink together. I'll have a toast with you."

Dong Xuebing said, "We're still far from being finished. If you don't drink, then I won't drink either."

"Alright, alright, let's do it." The official glanced at the others.

Dong Xuebing clinked glasses with each of them, about ten people, and then both sides drank up.

Dong Xuebing was the slowest drinker as if each sip was like swallowing poison. The people from the City Investment Promotion side also struggled. Just a few minutes ago, they had downed around 150 ml, and now, with many still not finished their glasses, they were collapsing. After toasting, the remaining few people also vomited and fell.

The City Investment Promotion team was almost entirely defeated.

Among the fifty people present, more than half had fallen.

Dong Xuebing also collapsed amidst the exclamations of surprise from people like Chang Juan and Gong Na. But just as Lu Weiguo and others relaxed their expressions, Dong Xuebing climbed up from the chair again.

"Keep drinking," Dong Xuebing shouted with a hoarse voice.

Hearing this, everyone felt a bit dizzy.

Chang Juan said, "Xuebing, you can't continue. Let's go back."

Dong Xuebing ignored her, "Today, anyone who stops me from drinking is my enemy. If you leave, I'll be at odds with you."

He finished speaking and nearly fell to the ground again.

Gong Na was almost in tears, "Mayor Dong!"

In this state, how would they negotiate with foreign investors tomorrow?

However, Dong Xuebing staggered towards Ma Yanfen, picked up a bottle of wine, poured a glass full, and sprinkled a good amount. Then, he raised his glass and said, "Director Ma, I propose a toast to the comrades from Yangli County."

Ma Yanfen shook her head, "I really can't drink anymore, Mayor Dong."

"Old Ma, I just gave you face earlier, and we toasted. What's the meaning of this? If you don't give me face, hmm, don't give me face?" Dong Xuebing stared.

Ma Yanfen felt a bit lightheaded; she really couldn't drink anymore.

Lu Weiguo deeply looked at her.

With a fierce face, Ma Yanfen could only lift her wine glass and the remaining people from Yangli County.

After a glass, Ma Yanfen couldn't finish it and collapsed, leaning on the table and unable to get up. The other few staff members from Yangli County were also completely defeated.
