Chapter 9: The Children of High-ranking Officials

  (Third update is sent! Thank you 'Gu Zhu Yu Jian' for the 200 reward points! Seeking collection and recommendation! Thanks!)

  Pang Zheng has a generous and straightforward personality, doing things without being particular about details. Although he had just met Yang Jie, he greatly admired the sunny and handsome Yang Jie, whose smile carried an inexplicable sense of closeness.

  Besides, Yunhe County is within Jiangnan Province, and a round trip would take at most two days, which wouldn't interfere with his business. Moreover, Yang Jie had promised to introduce some business opportunities to him, and as a businessman, he wouldn't let go of any chance, it was his business philosophy.

  "You little rascal, this is called forcing the king to mount the bow! Alright, next time you notify me in advance, I'll arrange my schedule. Come on, let's drink, now it's entertainment time, no more talk about these things." Pang Zheng smiled and pointed at Yang Jie, not getting angry, and readily agreed.

  Xiao Lan arranged a row of cups neatly on the glass tea table, with liquor already poured into the cups. Above each cup was a small shot glass made of ice, also filled with liquor, and arranged very neatly. Yang Jie looked at Xiao Lan, dipped his hand in the liquor, and then swiftly lit the liquor on the tea table with a lighter.

  A flame dragon suddenly appeared on the glass tea table, illuminating a row of wine cups in front of it. At this moment, Xiaolan's slender hand touched the first strong liquor cup placed on the large cup, and the strong liquor cup was like a domino, with the back cup touching the front cup, instantly knocking all the small strong liquor cups placed on the large cup into the front large wine cup.

  "This is your special deep-sea bomb, huh? A bit of a novelty!" Pang Zheng took the wine glass handed over by Xiao Lan, looking at the mixed liquor and ice cubes inside, with the strong liquor floating on top.

  "Deep Sea Bomb, as the name suggests, is very powerful. This cocktail is mixed in a very interesting way. The shot glass has been replaced with an ice-crafted cup, which can neutralize the strong liquor in the large cup without losing the original flavor of the wine," Pang Zheng said, finishing off the liquor in his cup in one gulp and holding up the cup with only ice cubes left, gesturing to Xiao Lan.

  Xiao Lan smiled lightly and remained kneeling on the carpet, picked up a wine cup from the tea table, and with a gesture that was not allowed by her eyebrows, she indicated to Pang Zheng, then put it to her mouth and drank it all in one gulp, very decisively, without any hesitation.

  Yang Jie had been to the capital city, gone to bars, and drunk cocktails before, but he had never had a drink like Xiao Lan's. He smiled, picked up a glass of wine, and nodded at Xiao Lan, joining forces with Pang Zheng, the two big men taking turns teasing Xiao Lan mercilessly.

  Downing the strong liquor in one gulp, a rush of intoxicating fumes rose from my nostrils. This mixture of soda water and hard liquor was no less potent than those 60-degree high-proof spirits, not only getting me drunk but also leaving a lasting aftereffect.

  Fortunately, Yang Jie was not afraid of getting drunk no matter how much he drank, and with Xiao Wu around, Yang Jie was a wine god who couldn't get drunk. He finished one cup after another, and in a row, he had three cups with Xiao Lan. Even Xiao Lan, known as the Night Orchid Wine King, had a hint of red on her face after drinking four deep water bombs.

  "Good capacity! Red wine, cocktails have all been drunk, let's come to white wine now. Today, we'll have a triple full house, no drunkenness will be spared!" Pang Zheng looked at Yang Jie with an unusual glint in his eye and smiled as he asked Xiao Lan to open the white wine, saying: "Brother, you're really something! I couldn't tell that your capacity is so good. As long as you can get Xiao Lan drunk today, Brother Zheng will acknowledge you as a brother and give you a Blue Dream membership card as a gift."

  Pang Zheng said that he was going to sit back and watch the fire from the other side, but Yang Jie had no fear of drinking. Xiao Lan, who had a remarkable capacity for liquor, smiled faintly when she heard Pang Zheng wanted to withdraw from the competition. She didn't believe that this little man could outdrink her in an alcohol test.

  Xiao Lan took out two bottles of vodka, and Yang Jie saw the situation and stretched out his hand to stop her. "If you want to drink, let's drink Wu Liang Ye or Moutai instead. The old Russian vodka is a base wine, it's okay for mixing drinks, but the mouthfeel is not as good as our domestic white wine."

  Yang Jie said so, Xiao Lan would not object. Two bottles of Wuliangye were opened, and Xiao Lan raised her cup to signal to Pang Zheng. After Pang Zheng asked her to pour a cup for him, Xiao Lan shifted her attention to Yang Jie, with a fierce competitive spirit in her eyes. She wanted to see how much alcohol Yang Jie could handle.

  Sitting to one side, Liu Fei, who had stopped singing, gazed at the scene unfolding not far away and saw that Xiao Lan actually wanted to have a drinking contest with Yang Jie. A hint of a smile appeared on her lips. Qin Mei approached her and asked, "Feifei jie, is Yang Jie's capacity for liquor very good? You don't think much of that little Lan?"

  "Yang Jie is the number one drinker in Yuhang County, he can down ten or more jin of 56 degree liquor like it's water. Is Xiaolan that capable? Just wait and see the show!" Liu Fei said as she spoke, the little Ling standing beside her also heard, looking at the sunny and handsome big boy opposite, she couldn't believe Yang Jie's drinking capacity was so good.

  This match was decided from the very beginning, with no suspense at all.

  ………

  In the manager's office on the fourth floor of Blue Dream KTV, Li Muxue, dressed in a black skirt like a dark elf, sat silently in the seat that should have been Luo Xiaoyan's, with a hint of loneliness in her eyes, facing the transparent floor-to-ceiling window and gazing at the night view of Rong City.

  The streets in front of KTV are crowded with cars, the streetlights and neon lights illuminate the whole city, but my heart is still lonely amidst the hustle and bustle.

  Lu Xiaojian pushed the door open from outside and walked in, looking at Li Muxue sitting behind the office desk. She walked up to her respectfully and said: "Miss, Xiao Lan got drunk. I went over to handle it just now, but I didn't expect that Pang Zheng's people could drink so much, they actually managed to get Xiao Lan drunk."

  "Oh? Is Pang Zheng the eldest son of Provincial Committee Organization Department Director Pang? Who did he bring over?" Li Muxue knew Xiao Lan's capacity for liquor, not only was she unmatched in Blue Dream, even those self-proclaimed heavy drinkers among the retired special forces soldiers couldn't keep up with her, no matter how many took turns trying. It was precisely this that made her curious.

  "There were one man and two women, among whom a girl named Qin Mei was found to be the daughter of Provincial Committee Secretary Qin. She is currently studying at Military Science University. The other man and woman are not very old, their detailed identities have not been investigated yet. Judging from their ordinary clothes, they should not be high-ranking officials from the province. The one who got Xiaolan drunk was that man."

  Lan Meng KTV was able to investigate Qin Mei's background and verify that Yang Jie and Liu Fei were not high-ranking officials in the province within a short span of one or two hours. If outsiders knew about this intelligence gathering capability, they would definitely be amazed.

  "It's interesting!" Li Muxue didn't expect that the children of two Jiangnan Provincial Committee Standing Committee members would actually mix with two ordinary people. For those arrogant and condescending official family kids, they were indeed a bit unconventional.

  Pang Zheng brought a man and a woman, although they were not high-ranking officials, but the woman was stunningly beautiful, with an exceptional appearance, figure, and temperament, a rare beauty that could be found only once in a thousand miles.

  And that man, handsome and sunny, with an extraordinary demeanor, his eyes shining with wisdom and confidence, facing Pang Zheng and Qin Mei, he was neither humble nor arrogant. This child is absolutely not a mediocre person." Luo Xiaoqian's evaluation of Yang Jie and Liu Fei was extremely high, which added a few points of interest to Li Muxue's heart.

  "Go, take a look and see if they are as good as you said!" Li Muxue got up upon hearing this, with a hint of playfulness in her eyes, as if the appearance of Yang Jie and Liu Fei had added a bit of excitement to her dull and lonely life.

  Li Muxue, with her slender and elegant figure, walked past Luo Xiaojian's side and whispered a few words to her. Her cunning eyes sparkled with a hint of playful smile.

  Pang Zheng never thought that Yang Jie could actually get Xiao Lan drunk, and looking at the pile of empty wine bottles on the tea table, not to mention Pang Zheng, even Qin Mei next to him had an unbelievable expression.

  Looking at Yang Jie who seemed unaffected, Liu Fei smiled slightly and said to Qin Mei who had her mouth agape: "How's that? Yang Jie's capacity for liquor isn't bad, right?"

  "This is not okay at all! This is simply outrageous! Is he still human? How can he not be drunk at all?! And having drunk so much red and white beer, he doesn't even need to go to the bathroom." Qin Mei's exaggerated words startled Yang Jie who was not far away, it seems that he had overdone it.

  "Brother Peng, I need to go out for a bit, it's been so long and if I hold it in any longer, I'll definitely burst!" Yang Jie pretended to be desperate to pee, and after saying this to Brother Peng, both he and Qin Mei couldn't help but laugh.

  Rushing out of the private room, looking at the two cheongsam beauties standing at the door, "Where is the restroom?"

  Two girls stared at him with strange eyes, not responding, but instead raised their hands and pointed to the corridor behind Yang Jie. Yang Jie followed the direction of their pointing fingers, running quickly forward, whether he really had to pee or not, at least he had to pretend to be desperate.
