Era: 1962, the rise of vocabulary and related terms

Sun Yongkai returned to the Third Purchasing Department.

"Xiao Xu, have you found out what I asked you to find out? Who revealed that Xiao Yan has a high alcohol tolerance?"

Xu Chunwang shook his head: "Section Chief Sun, I've found out, no one said anything. I guess it was someone from Section Four who overheard it."

At that time, there were only four people in the department: himself, Yan Xiao, Zhu Fugui, Zheng Shuangxi, and Song Guangfu.

Zhu Fugui and Zheng Shuangxi both went home. Although Song Guangfu's whereabouts were unknown, he was the deputy section chief and the least likely to tell the Fourth Section about this.

After all, Yan Xiao's ability to drink is a good thing for him.

"Okay, I understand. Go find Xiao Yan now and bring him back. I need to talk to him about something, so hurry!"

"yes!"

Yan Xiao had just returned to his dormitory when Xu Chunwang called him back to the purchasing department.

Sun Yongkai got straight to the point: "Xiao Yan, it's like this, tomorrow the head of the Fourth Section, Zong Changyi, has a drinking party. You're good at drinking, so you should go and see for yourself."

"Just like when you were dealing with Station Chief Ding, dealing with Director Zhang well will be a good thing for you. If you do well, I'll give you a reward..."

Sun Yongkai, with just a few words, embellished the situation into a great opportunity that had befallen Yan Xiao, urging him to seize the moment.

"I understand, Sun Ke. I will definitely do my job well and never let down the leader's trust!" Yan Xiao replied loudly.

This attitude pleased Sun Yongkai greatly, and he nodded, looking at Xu Chunwang beside him.

"By the way, Xiao Xu, you'll go with Xiao Yan tomorrow."

"Huh? Me?" Xu Chunwang pointed at himself in disbelief, looking extremely unwilling.

"What? Don't you want to go?"

"I'll go!" With the boss in front of you, how can you refuse?

As mentioned before, as long as the task quota is met, even the leader can be ignored, but the premise is not to be caught by the leader in person!

You can ignore someone behind their back, but ignoring them to their face is considered disobedience.

"Okay, Xiao Yan, you can rest well tomorrow. You don't need to come to the department to report for duty or go to the countryside. I'll have Xiao Xu call you before you leave," Sun Yongkai said kindly.

"Thank you, boss!"

......

The following day, in the evening.

State-run restaurant.

Yan Xiao, Zong Changyi, the head of the fourth purchasing section, and Xu Chunwang, who had been temporarily "conscripted" and whose face was full of reluctance, waited at the door.

After a while,

A slightly plump figure, dressed in cadre uniform, appeared in the twilight. It was Zhang Beichen, the powerful director of the Ministry of Coal Industry.

Zong Changyi immediately put on a warm smile, quickly stepped forward, and said polite words such as "Director Zhang, you've worked hard" and "Thank you for coming" as he led Zhang Beichen into the private room that had been reserved in advance.

Inside the private room.

After exchanging pleasantries and taking their seats, the atmosphere gradually warmed up thanks to Zong Changyi's deliberate flattery.

Meanwhile, the waiters began serving hot dishes one after another.

The dishes were served in no time.

"That's about it," Yan Xiao thought to himself.

Now is the perfect time for him to display his prowess.

He stood up and picked up the six-qian wine cup from the table, while the three-qian wine cups were all taken away.

It's in the way!

"Director Zhang!" Yan Xiao's voice was clear and strong, with just the right amount of respect. "I have long admired your name but never had the chance to meet you. Today, thanks to Section Chief Zong's introduction, I have the opportunity to learn from you. It is truly an honor for me."

As he spoke, he filled the first glass of wine to the brim, almost overflowing. This gesture of "sincere heart with wine in hand" was most delightful.

"Our entire steel rolling mill is deeply grateful for your support of our production efforts. This toast, on behalf of myself, is to you!"

"I'll drink it, but you can do as you please!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Xiao tilted his head back and drank the strong liquor in his glass in an instant, leaving not a drop.

The whole process was smooth and effortless, without the slightest hesitation or reluctance, as if he had only drunk a glass of water.

[The "100-gram Unbreakable" effect is in effect...]

"Haha, good! Good!"

Zhang Beichen was clearly taken aback by the sudden, forceful, and sincere toast, but a look of enjoyment appeared on his face.

He smiled and nodded: "Not bad, young man, you look quite energetic."

He also picked up his six-qian wine cup and drank it all in one gulp with great gusto.

The spicy liquid was drunk in one gulp, bringing a burning sensation. Zhang Beichen took a slight breath, and a blush instantly appeared on his face.

Drinking on an empty stomach—only those who drink it truly understand.

Yan Xiao's movements did not pause for the slightest.

The second glass of wine was refilled, and I held it up with both hands.

"Director Zhang, this second toast is to your courage and sense of responsibility!"

"Coal is the lifeblood of our industry. As the head of the Ministry of Coal, you have made strategic plans and ensured supply, supporting the normal operation of countless units like our steel rolling mill, contributing to the country's development!"

"We see your hard work and contributions, and we remember them dearly!"

Before he finished speaking, he cleanly and neatly poured the second glass of wine into his mouth.

[The "100-gram Unbreakable" effect is in effect...]

Looking at Yan Xiao's open and honest demeanor, with his empty glass, and listening to his impeccable toast, Zhang Beichen simply couldn't refuse.

He forced a smile, then raised his glass again, saying, "Good, good, young man, you have potential!"

This time, his movements were noticeably slower, and his brows furrowed slightly, but he still drank it all in one gulp.

As the wine went down her throat, the blush on her cheeks spread rapidly, her eyes began to glaze over, and her breathing became heavier.

He put down his wine glass, picked up his chopsticks, and intended to eat some food to calm the churning stomach.

But Yan Xiao didn't give his opponent much of a chance to breathe.

He picked up his glass for the third time.

"Director Zhang! With this third toast, I dare to represent our steel rolling mill in extending our highest respect and most urgent request to you!"

"Winter is fast approaching, and production is heavy. The entire factory is waiting for coal, counting on your timely help! Please, give us another hand! I'll drink this first as a sign of respect!"

These words elevated a personal toast to a level that encompasses the entire factory.

Under the watchful eyes of Zong Changyi and Xu Chunwang, Yan Xiao tilted his head back for the third time and downed the strong liquor in his glass in one gulp.

[The "100-gram Unbreakable" effect is in effect...]

Zong Changyi and Xu Chunwang were dumbfounded. Although they knew Yan Xiao could drink, they were still deeply shocked to witness such a powerful series of toasts.

After downing three glasses of strong liquor and water, Yan Xiao's expression remained unchanged, his eyes clear and steady, as if the liquid that was enough to burn his throat had no effect on him.

This almost inhuman performance put Zong Changyi at ease, while Xu Chunwang was completely dumbfounded.

"Good lad, good lad! Sun Yongkai was right! I'm definitely getting this kid!"

On the other hand, Zhang Beichen had already drunk two glasses of strong liquor, and his stomach was already burning. He absolutely refused to drink the third glass.

I'm the host of this party, how can I let a little brat take advantage of me?

To think you can control him with just a few empty words is to underestimate him.

Yan Xiao glanced at the wine glass that Zhang Beichen was about to put down, then looked at Zong Changyi and Xu Chunwang.

The two instantly understood each other; whether it would work out depended on this.

He immediately poured himself a full glass.

Zong Changyi jumped up and said, "Come on, Brother Zhang! You have to help me this time, no matter what. We've been brothers for years, you can't just not help me with this little thing, can you?"

Xu Chunwang also raised his glass: "Director Zhang, we're really counting on you for our steel rolling mill! I'd like to toast you!"

After saying that, the two drank it all in one gulp.

The strong liquor choked them, making them want to cough, but they still managed to hold it in.

The three of them just watched Zhang Beichen quietly.

At this moment, Zhang Beichen was once again restrained.

Holding the wine glass neither too high nor too low, he had no choice but to drink it this time.

He could disregard Xu Chunwang's feelings, but he couldn't disregard Zong Changyi's. If word got out, he would be labeled as difficult to get along with, and who would want to ask him for help in the future?

He almost struggled to lift the glass, his hand trembling slightly.

"Ahem!"

The third time he took a sip of the liquor, he coughed violently a few times, his face turned bright red, his eyes became glazed, and his body swayed slightly, almost losing his balance.

"Good...good lad...you can really...drink...you're a real man..."

Zong Changyi knew that things were about to succeed!

But let's not rush, let's let the alcohol work its magic!

"Oh dear, how come you've been so busy drinking that you've forgotten to eat? Come on, eat some vegetables first! We can't afford to waste food."

Zhang Beichen thought to himself that he could finally sit down, eat, and cool off from the alcohol.

But things couldn't be that easy.

While eating, the three of them took turns toasting Zhang Beichen.

After several rounds of drinks...

Zhang Beichen drank half a jin of liquor and was almost unconscious.

The opportunity has arrived!!!

Zong Changyi hooked his arm around Zhang Beichen's neck: "Brother Zhang, you see... our factory is really in trouble right now, there's a big shortfall... look at this coal quota... could you... could you spare a little more for us? Just a little! It's an emergency! Everyone in the factory appreciates your help!"

As he spoke, Zong Changyi filled his wine glass.

Xu Chunwang was very perceptive and poured Zhang Beichen's glass full as well.

Looking at the full wine glass, Zhang Beichen's cloudy eyes seemed to see some kind of monstrous flood, and his face was filled with horror.

"No...no problem! Xiao Zong...you...your factory...well done! I...I, Zhang Beichen...will...add another...another 1 jin! Isn't that...more than enough!"

"1 jin? Brother, that's too much! Okay, I'll toast you again!"

"No, no, no!" Zhang Beichen waved his hands repeatedly, he was about to vomit, his stomach was churning: "How much do you want? I'll give it to you."

Zong Changyi held up three fingers: "3 jin?"

"become!"

After saying that, Zhang Beichen finally couldn't hold back and spat into the bowl.

vomit--

"Damn it! You didn't order enough! You should have ordered 5 jin!" Zong Changyi cursed.

Fearing that Zhang Beichen might change his mind after sobering up, he hurriedly pulled out the application form and pen he had prepared beforehand from his pocket.

Zhang Beichen grabbed the pen, and without even looking closely, he crookedly signed his name in the spot where Zong Changyi was pointing.

Although the handwriting was messy, that name represented a heavy quota of 30,000 jin of coal!

The dust settles!

Zong Changyi clutched the approval slip tightly, as if holding a rare treasure, his face filled with uncontrollable joy and relief.

If it weren't for the wrong location, he would have liked to kiss the approval slip twice.

Xu Chunwang also let out a long sigh of relief, his gaze towards Yan Xiao filled with complex emotions—shock, admiration, and a hint of lingering fear.

Yan Xiao remained calmly seated, drinking four ounces of liquor without showing any reaction.

With the help of Zong Changyi and Xu Chunwang, Yan Xiao no longer needed to get revenge by drinking Sun Yongkai, Ding Mo, and Section Chief Yu under the table, just like he did the first time.

This time, all we need to do is get Zhang Beichen drunk.

boom! ! !

After vomiting, Zhang Beichen closed his eyes and collapsed onto the table.

Snore~

Zong Changyi looked at Yan Xiao as if he were looking at a beautiful girl, drooling with desire, his eyes yearning, licking his lips and smacking his tongue, wishing he could devour him.

"Damn, he can drink so much! Sun Yongkai is wasting his talent. He should be given to me! He'll be of great use to me!"

"Damn, how come Sun Yongkai always has such good luck, always managing to run into talented people!"

Stared at by Zong Changyi's unrequited love, Yan Xiao became a little restless. He was not gay, nor did he have any homosexual tendencies!

"Ahem!"

"Section Chief Zong, what... what should we do next?"

cough~

Zong Changyi realized what was going on: "Now that things are settled, Xiao Xu, help Xiao Yan back home. Be careful on the way. I'll take Director Zhang home."

"Yes." Xu Chunwang carefully helped Yan Xiao up, afraid of hurting him.

Zong Changyi stared at the two figures as they walked away.

"No way, we have to bring this kid over no matter what!"
