Era: 1962, the rise of vocabulary and related terms

"Xiao Yan, get some rest, don't overwork yourself! Ah~"

"If you're not feeling well, rest if you need to, or go to the infirmary if you need to. If you don't come to work tomorrow morning, I'll let Sun Ke know."

After escorting Yan Xiao back to his dormitory, Xu Chunwang didn't forget to offer a few words of comfort before leaving.

"Thank... thank you, Brother Xu." Since Xu Chunwang was so concerned, Yan Xiao naturally played along.

"You're welcome, you're welcome. Lie down quickly and get some rest." Xu Chunwang patted Yan Xiao gently twice to help him lie down.

Although he knew that Yan Xiao had only drunk less than 4 liang of liquor and wouldn't get drunk, he was still very protective of him!

When someone comes to a drinking party, they down two ounces of liquor in no time. Others may not know, but they certainly can't handle it.

"Alright, I'll stop disturbing your rest. Go get some sleep!"

After giving Yan Xiao his instructions, Xu Chunwang looked at the other five people in the dormitory and said, "It's getting late, you should all get some rest too, and don't disturb Yan Xiao's rest."

Although they weren't their superiors, the words of the permanent employees were still very useful to these temporary workers.

Even though it's only 7 p.m., there's still plenty of time.

"Yes, yes, we'll go to bed later."

"Yes, yes, we usually go to bed around this time."

Looking at the respectful manner of the group, this is the respect that should be shown to temporary workers.

Xu Chunwang straightened his clothes, his face arrogant, and ordered, "Alright, you all should get some rest and not disturb Xiao Yan's rest."

After saying that, Xu Chunwang left quietly, making sure to close the door behind him.

The students in the dormitory heard the footsteps fading away and immediately asked Yan Xiao what had happened.

Yan Xiao naturally wouldn't say much: "It's nothing, just a business dinner, I had a couple of drinks."

"Oh, I thought it was something else."

"You're already like this after just two drinks? Your alcohol tolerance isn't very good. I'll take you out for a drink sometime. There's a good restaurant around here. You have to drink regularly to develop a good alcohol tolerance," Liu Laifu said eloquently.

"You've just arrived, it's normal that you can't drink much. From now on, you'll be working with me~"

"Thanks, Brother Liu." Yan Xiao didn't expose him.

"polite."

After leaving the dormitory, Xu Chunwang did not go home, but instead went to Sun Yongkai's house to discuss something.

After drinking a few ounces of liquor, he got drunk himself. He not only had to take Yan Xiao back to his dormitory, but also had to report the details of this social event to Sun Yongkai.

"Sun Ke, that's what happened. Now I understand. Yan Xiao's alcohol tolerance is damn good! He can down two ounces of liquor in no time."

"You didn't see that Director Sun; he almost threw up."

Seeing Yan Xiao's drinking prowess firsthand, he gave up on the idea of ​​comparing their drinking capacities.

On the contrary, I want to see Zheng Shuangxi, Zhu Fugui and Yan Xiao compete in drinking, and end up making a fool of themselves by vomiting.

After all, the two of them had dealt with him in the same way before.

"Hmph!" Seeing Xu Chunwang praising Yan Xiao so much, Sun Yongkai couldn't help but feel proud: "Don't you know who recruited him in the first place? If I hadn't been so discerning, I would have almost missed out on this talent."

"You guys are really lucky now. We won't need you for social engagements anymore. Are you happy now?"

These words did not please Xu Chunwang; instead, he looked bitter and had no choice but to agree, "Yes, yes, Sun Ke is right. With Xiao Yan around, we can finally relax a lot."

With someone who can drink so much leading the way, Xu Chunwang would actually prefer to attend social events.

After all, if he goes to social events with the section chief and deputy section chief, he can also get a small share of the profits from the deals made there.

This small portion can instantly fulfill his monthly purchase quota.

For those with large tasks, they might complete the quarterly quota in one go.

Of course, the premise is that there is someone who can drink and also get things done.

"Alright, alright, it's getting late, you should go home and rest. Be careful on the road."

Xu Chunwang said a few words and then left.

Sun Yongkai, meanwhile, paced back and forth at home with his hands behind his back.

"Yan Xiao's alcohol tolerance is surprisingly high; he started drinking right away. I guess I underestimated him! I need to think of a good reward for him; I can't let him be poached!"

At this moment, Sun Yongkai felt extremely conflicted and found it difficult to make a decision.

He still holds a trump card in his hand to control Yan Xiao – the question of Yan Xiao's future.

Yan Xiao is currently a temporary worker, and whether he stays or leaves is entirely up to him. But at this moment, this matter has become a ticking time bomb.

The longer Yan Xiao kept this card in his hand, the more it seemed to him that he didn't trust or value it.

When Zong Changyi asks for people again, Yan Xiao will naturally pack his bags and go.

If you can't retain the people you recruited, you'll have nowhere to turn to cry when the time comes.

"This temporary job can't be held for a full three months. How about we make it a permanent position after one month?"

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he immediately dismissed it: "No, no, if I do it that fast, wouldn't Yan Xiao think he's so great? He might not even listen to me then, and that would be troublesome!"

"This matter needs careful consideration. We can't make it official too easily, but we can't wait too long either."

Sun Yongkai now feels that the question of whether to stay or leave is a hot potato.

.....

The next day.

Yan Xiao went to work as usual.

"Xiao Yan, how was your rest yesterday? Do you still have a headache? If you're not feeling well, go back and rest. There's no rush to go to work."

As soon as Sun Yongkai arrived at the department, he immediately spoke to Yan Xiao in a friendly manner, leaving Zheng Shuangxi and the others dumbfounded.

"It's alright, Sun Ke. I feel pretty good right now."

"That's good." Seeing that Yan Xiao was really alright, Sun Yongkai nodded: "Come to my office."

They followed him into the office.

"Xiao Yan, I know about yesterday's social engagement. You handled it very well, and I'm very satisfied."

"Now that you've accomplished something, you should naturally be rewarded. Tell me, what do you want?"

Sun Yongkai pondered deeply yesterday and finally decided to leave the matter of the reward back to Yan Xiao.

"No, no, it's all I should do. I'm so grateful to Section Chief Zong for giving me this opportunity to improve." Yan Xiao naturally declined.

"Well, let's keep things separate. Getting things done deserves a reward; that's only fair. Just say what you want."

After declining the offer three times.

Yan Xiao then said, "Section Chief Sun, well then I'll say it: I want some alcohol. Ever since I had that drinking session the day before yesterday, I've developed a liking for it. I feel unwell if I don't have a little bit every day."

"Hey, guess what? I've been drinking every day, and I've noticed that my alcohol tolerance is gradually increasing." Yan Xiao said, with an incredulous expression.

But in an instant, his face turned bitter: "But as you know, I came from the countryside and don't have much money. I can't afford to buy wine to improve my drinking capacity."

Upon hearing that it was about improving one's alcohol tolerance, Sun Yongkai immediately agreed without hesitation: "Leave the alcohol to me! We're the purchasing department, and we get a lot of alcohol coupons every month. I'll give you all of them."

"This...isn't that a bad idea? If you give me all the wine tickets, won't that affect them? I'm afraid people will have opinions."

"They wouldn't dare!" Sun Yongkai shouted. "But what you said makes sense. Here's what we'll do: I'll give you 30 liquor tickets every month, one bottle a day! I'll also allocate some money from the department to buy liquor; this is funding from the department to encourage you to improve your drinking capacity, it won't cost you any money!"

"Thank you, Director Sun!" Yan Xiao's face lit up with joy, and he thanked him loudly, his voice so loud it seemed to penetrate the walls and reach Song Changyi's office in the next department.

This was an idea he had come up with yesterday.

Now that we've discovered the pattern for improving the "100-gram resilience" principle, we should naturally take advantage of it.

The money wasn't cheap, so there was no reason for him to spend his own money. He naturally let Corey solve the problem, and Sun Yongkai accepted it with satisfaction.

Meanwhile, a bottle of wine contains 500 ml, and he only needs to drink 2 liang (100 ml), so one bottle can be drunk 5 times.

You can improve the progress of the "Unbreakable" stat twice a day, which is 60 times a month, requiring only 12 bottles of wine.

As for the extra wine coupons, they were naturally taken out and resold—to make money!

As for the money for alcohol, I'll save it myself—to buy a bicycle!

He didn't want to have to travel to the countryside to buy supplies in the future; the future is uncertain, so he wanted to be prepared for any eventuality.

Secondly, having your own bicycle makes you look good when you go out.

"Okay, okay!"

Sun Yongkai was very satisfied to see how cooperative Yan Xiao was.

"Here's what I'll do: I have three wine coupons here. Please use them for now, and I'll make up the difference next month. As for the wine, I'll cover it for you in advance!"

Sun Yongkai generously took out several tickets from the drawer and a large black ten from his pocket.

This kind of behavior would make any naive young person lose their mind.

"Thank you, boss!"

"Take the stuff, but let me make this clear: you still need to work on your drinking capacity, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to everyone," Sun Yongkai said, half-threateningly.

"Don't worry, sir! I will definitely work on improving my alcohol tolerance!"

"Very good, go ahead and get busy."

Seeing that Yan Xiao was listening, he nodded and waved his hand.

Having successfully obtained the money and tickets, Yan Xiao left the office happily.

He understood the meaning of those last words perfectly: if he didn't train his alcohol tolerance, he would have to vomit up everything he drank.

Yan Xiao left the Third Section office amidst the surprised gazes of Xu Chunwang and the others.

When they passed the Fourth Section, Zong Changyi grabbed them and dragged them into the section chief's office.

"Xiao Yan, you did a great job with the socializing yesterday, you helped me a lot. Is there anything you want to ask me?"

Using similar rhetoric to Sun Yongkai, the purpose was obvious: to win him over.

"No...no need, it's all what I should do. Section Chief Sun has already rewarded me, so I don't need it."

"Sigh, it's Sun Yongkai's business to reward you, and it's my business to reward you. They're not the same."

Yan Xiao feigned panic: "No...no, I'm not from the Fourth Department, I can't accept it!"

He's still in the third department; he can't just ask for things from the fourth department without Sun Yongkai's permission—that's the rule.

Besides, he took Sun Yongkai's money and then Zong Changyi's money right after; doesn't that make him a fence-sitter?

"Really don't want it?" Zong Changyi asked in return.

Yan Xiao feigned fear and shook his head repeatedly, refusing to accept any of Zong Changyi's pleas. Finally, he said directly, "Section Chief Zong, I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

After saying that, Yan Xiao turned around, opened the door, and ran away.

I ran straight downstairs.

This scene was clearly seen by Sun Yongkai at the door.

"Damn it, that bastard Zong Changyi is trying to steal my people again! Does he really think I'm helpless?!"

"Zong Changyi!" Enraged, Sun Yongkai shouted, looking for trouble.

Yan Xiao, who had run downstairs, heard the sound and smiled slightly.

"What you can't have always seems more alluring, and what you haven't gotten your hands on is what you can't forget."
