The pinnacle of power: starting with having sex with a female leader-Chapter 560: Securing a Two Hundred Million Investment
Gulp!
Cheng Yuan drank it all in one go!
The liquor was especially smooth as it went down his throat, not spicy at all. He only felt a warm current flowing down his esophagus, warming his whole stomach!
Liang Chuan laughed heartily, "Excellent! I’ll drink too!"
Everyone else quickly followed suit and downed a glass.
Soon, dishes of exquisite food were served.
They were all delicate cuisines that ordinary people rarely had access to.
Gao Meng didn’t care about that; he started gobbling down his food.
The others were more reserved, eating politely yet quickly.
After Cheng Yuan’s three rounds, Qin Shu took over the entire drinking session, frequently raising her glass to toast with Liang Chuan.
Liang Chuan really could hold his liquor. In no time, he had downed a whole half liter and still, his face showed no change and his heart skipped no beat.
However, the effects were there after he had finished the half liter; he had already started to address Cheng Yuan as his brother.
"Brother Cheng, although President Qin can drink, you can’t just not drink at all! You must drink some too, right? Come on, let’s have one together!"
"Alright, I’ll join you. But, Big Brother Liang, if I keep you good company, what’s the reward?"
"Reward? Hahaha, does an investment count? If you can drink a half liter with me, I’ll invest one billion! If you can do two bottles, it’s two billion! And so on!"
Half a liter for one billion?
Cheng Yuan was immediately tempted!
"Big Brother Liang, are you serious? What if I drink twenty liters?"
Liang Chuan smiled, "Brother Cheng, don’t push yourself! This is white liquor; no matter how smooth it is, it’s still strong. Forget twenty liters, even two liters would be too much for you."
"For that two billion investment, I must drink two liters today!"
Qin Shu chuckled from the side, "President Liang, is it allowed to have someone drink in my place?"
Liang Chuan, generous as ever, nodded, "Of course you can have a substitute, but they need to drink double the amount. President Qin, any objections?"
"No objections!"
Qin Shu gently shook her head; with her tolerance, she could handle another half liter for Cheng Yuan.
Zhang Qian also secretly contemplated her own tolerance. With her capacity, she could take two or three drinks for Cheng Yuan. With the power of three, they should be able to handle President Liang, right? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
Cheng Yuan, full of bravado, waved his hand.
"No need for substitutes, two liters of liquor? I can handle it!"
True to his word, Cheng Yuan didn’t let Qin Shu or Zhang Qian drink for him. In the following session, he matched Liang Chuan drink for drink,
even occasionally taking the initiative to raise his glass.
Soon, two bottles of liquor had been entirely consumed, and Cheng Yuan’s consciousness began to blur.
Yet, he clearly remembered the promise just made.
"Liang, Big Brother Liang, t-two bottles done! You, you can’t go back on your word..."
Liang Chuan was slurring a bit too, having been the prime target of everyone’s toasts, already over three liters.
He patted Cheng Yuan forcefully on the shoulder.
"Good, good brother, just relax, when Liang Chuan gives his word, not even ten wild boars could drag it back! Tomorrow morning, first thing, I’ll, I’ll go to your office to discuss the contract. Two, two billion, not a penny less!"
Hearing Liang Chuan confirm it, the huge weight in Cheng Yuan’s heart finally lifted.
His head tilted, and he just slumped onto the table, snoring away!
Liang Chuan admired Cheng Yuan even more, seeing his drinking as a reflection of his character.
If Cheng Yuan had been sneaky or dishonest, despite owing a favor to Liang Zhong, he might have still invested in Ji County but would have been cautious around Cheng Yuan.
But since Cheng Yuan had collapsed from drinking, Liang Chuan felt he could collaborate openly and boldly.
Wang Shan really wanted to rush over to help Cheng Yuan up and take him home.
Ever since that night, Cheng Yuan hadn’t visited her place again, hadn’t touched her again, and she really missed him.
But after casting a glance at Qin Shu, who was also watching Cheng Yuan intently, Wang Shan withdrew her fleeting thoughts.
Zhang Qian, unaware of Qin Shu’s background, didn’t hesitate.
"Director Yang, Director is drunk. You take care of Director, and I’ll take Director back to the hotel room."
As she spoke, Zhang Qian tried to help Cheng Yuan up.
Qin Shu stopped her with a smile, "Director Zhang, President Liang hasn’t left yet, you can’t leave! You need to keep President Liang company! Let me take Director Cheng back instead!"
Zhang Qian tensed inside, but her face was all smiles, standing firm as she met Qin Shu’s gaze eye-to-eye.
"President Qin, you’re meant to collaborate with President Liang, right? You can’t leave! We don’t need to trouble you with taking Director Cheng back!"
Qin Shu’s pupils flickered slightly; if she insisted on sending Cheng Yuan off, no one could stop her.
But there might be rumors.
It wouldn’t be good for Cheng Yuan’s career.
But she couldn’t just watch someone else take her man away.
Quickly, Qin Shu found a good solution.
"Director Zhang, you’re right, neither of us can leave! Directors Yang and Wang can’t leave either, we must keep President Liang company! Let’s have Little Gao take Director Cheng back to the hotel then!"
Gao Meng instantly caught Qin Shu’s drift; he’d definitely not be taking Cheng Yuan back to the hotel.
He hadn’t sparred with Brother Zihua for some days, and now he saw a perfect opportunity.
"Leaders, shall I first take Director back?"
Zhang Qian was somewhat reluctant but, since Qin Shu wasn’t leaving either, she could accept it. She could always find a way to open the Director’s hotel room door after the banquet.
"Little Gao, that would be appreciated."
