Siheyuan (courtyard house): My father, Li Yunlong!

Li Zhenhua calmly stood up, picked up his wine glass, and maintained a composed yet respectful demeanor.

"Director Yang, you flatter me. All the leaders and colleagues are too kind! I, Li Zhenhua, am new here, and my future work will depend on Director Yang's correct leadership and the support and help of all the senior colleagues present! This toast is for Director Yang and for everyone! I'll drink it all, you can drink as you please!"

Having said that, he tilted his head back and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

The movements were crisp and clean, full of momentum.

"Great! That felt good!"

"Director Li has an incredible capacity for generosity!"

The crowd cheered again.

Next came the toasts.

All the executives wanted to test this new tycoon's drinking capacity and also wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to him.

However, they soon discovered something shocking.

Li Zhenhua accepted every toast offered, downing the glass in one gulp without batting an eye, his eyes clear as if he were drinking plain water instead of strong liquor!

It turns out that Li Zhenhua had already secretly used the Pinduoduo system.

He bought some hangover cures in advance, and even better, he discovered that the system space could serve as a perfect "transfer station".

Each time he raised his glass to drink, he could subtly transfer most or even all of the liquor into the 100-cubic-meter storage area of ​​the system space with a thought.

This is practically the ultimate "cheat code"!

Thus, in the eyes of many, Li Zhenhua became a bottomless "God of Wine".

After the banquet, Li Zhenhua had drunk countless bottles of wine, while the cadres who tried to get him drunk were all staggering, slurring their words, and some even slid off the table.

At first, Director Yang was pleased, thinking that Li Zhenhua had made him look good. But later he was dumbfounded and kept patting Li Zhenhua on the shoulder, his tongue slurring as he spoke.

"Zhen...Zhenhua...Good lad! Your drinking capacity...is really...really!"

He gave a thumbs up.

"From now on... all the social interactions will be...relying on you!"

The two beautiful women who had originally wanted to watch the excitement were now staring wide-eyed at Li Zhenhua, who remained as steady as a mountain with a faint smile on his lips. Their eyes were filled with surprise and an indescribable interest.

The day after the gathering at the canteen happened to be a day off for the steel rolling mill.

Li Zhenhua was awakened by a high-pitched, piercing wail from the Intermediate People's Court.

The voice belonged to Jia Zhangshi; it was highly recognizable and full of her usual tantrum-like manner.

"Oh no! I can't live like this anymore! I can't live like this! In broad daylight, someone dares to molest this old woman like me! God, please open your eyes and strike this shameless beast dead with lightning!"

Li Zhenhua frowned, turned over, and wanted to go back to sleep, but the noise outside grew louder and louder, mixed with men's roars, women's persuasion, children's cries, and Xu Damao's strange shouts that seemed to thrive on chaos.

He sat up helplessly, rubbing his temples, which were throbbing from "drinking" too much alcohol the night before.

Although most of the wine went into the system space, it still contained some alcohol in that situation.

He put on his coat, strolled leisurely to the moon gate leading from the backyard to the middle courtyard, found an inconspicuous spot to lean against, and calmly lit a "specially supplied" cigarette, beginning his "on-site observation".

The area around the central courtyard pool was already crowded with alarmed neighbors.

In the center of the crowd, Jia Zhangshi sat down on the ground, pounding her fists on the ground and wailing loudly.

She clutched a faded, patched-up pair of old underwear tightly in her hand, as if it were some kind of important evidence.

The idiot sitting opposite her had his face turn a deep purplish-red, his neck stiff, looking both embarrassed and angry, and he was shouting.

"I...I didn't...I didn't! I just found it! Who the hell wants your thing!"

Jia Dongxu was so angry that he trembled all over and pointed at Sha Zhu's nose while cursing.

"You idiot Zhu! You bastard! You dared to steal my mom's... I'll fight you to the death!"

As she was about to rush forward, she was held back by Qin Huairu, whose face was ashen. Qin Huairu's face was full of anxiety and shame, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at anyone.

Xu Damao squeezed to the front of the crowd, grinning from ear to ear, and made sarcastic noises.

"Wow! You silly Zhu! You're something else! I never knew you had such tastes! I always thought you had unusual tastes, but I never imagined they were this extreme! You could even go after someone like Aunt Jia... I'm impressed! I'm impressed! I, Xu Damao, am completely outmatched!"

These words added fuel to the fire, and Jia Zhangshi howled even louder, while Jia Dongxu struggled even more fiercely.

Sha Zhu was so angry that the veins on his forehead bulged, and he wished he could tear Xu Damao's mouth apart.

The incident began when Qin Huairu washed some clothes in the morning and accidentally dropped Jia Zhangshi's underwear in a corner without noticing.

Then it was picked up by Sha Zhu who rushed over. Sha Zhu thought it belonged to Qin Huairu and wanted to secretly take it home. Little did he know that it was seen by Jia Zhangshi who was returning from the toilet.

This time, it was like being covered in mud and rotting pants; even if it wasn't an S, it was still an S.

Just then, Yi Zhonghai, with a stern face, stepped out from the crowd.

He first glared fiercely at Sha Zhu, then shouted in a deep voice.

"What's all this noise about! What kind of behavior is this! Aren't you ashamed?"

Upon seeing Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhangshi rushed over and hugged his leg as if she had seen a savior.

"Old Yi! You have to stand up for me! Sha Zhu... he stole my underwear! How can I ever face anyone again! I can't live like this!"

Yi Zhonghai suppressed his disgust, shook off Jia Zhangshi, and scanned the entire room before finally fixing his gaze on Sha Zhu, his tone filled with heartache and indignation.

"Zhu Zi! How could you do such a thing! This...this is utterly morally corrupt! You've ruined the atmosphere of our compound!"

Sha Zhu was speechless and stamped his feet in frustration.

"Grandpa! I really didn't mean to! I was out for a walk this morning and saw this thing on the ground. I thought it belonged to Sister Qin... no, I thought someone had accidentally dropped it while hanging up their clothes, so I tried to pick it up... who knew it was hers!"

He pointed at Jia Zhangshi, looking gloomy.

Yi Zhonghai didn't believe this explanation at all; or rather, what he needed was a "truth" that could quickly quell the situation.

He snorted coldly.

"Found it? If you found it, why didn't you throw it away or return it? What are you planning to do with it? I think you have ulterior motives! Dongxu's mother is still an elder, how can you do this to the people in the neighborhood who trust you?"

His righteous and stern words directly nailed Sha Zhu to the pillar of shame.

The neighbors around also pointed and whispered. Although many people thought that Jia Zhangshi was making a mountain out of a molehill, Sha Zhu's behavior was indeed disgusting and he couldn't clear his name no matter what.

This is exactly the effect Yi Zhonghai wanted.

Seeing that the time was right, he adopted a posture of upholding justice and cleared his throat.
