NOVEL NEXT Chapter 21
Drinking Till The Director Passes Out
[The problem is that I feel like they won effortlessly.]
[ Young Master is finally receiving Young Master treatment, hahaha.]
[I think I caught a glimpse of their daily lives. Chefs serving on the left and right.]
[Help!! I still find it unbelievable. They clearly ran around as if they didn’t do any work, but I didn’t expect that not only did they finish their work, but they also did the best and took first place.]
In order to celebrate Meng Chuyuan’s team winning first place, the production team could be said to have spent a lot of money. Not only did they hire a chef at a high price, but they also prepared a good brand of Maotai wine to welcome them.
Lu Jinsen’s eyes lit up when he saw the variety of dishes. It was worth it to eat this meal after a busy day.
After they sat down, Meng Chuyuan ordered Kung Pao Chicken, a chive box, and minced meat noodles. Lu Jinsen also ordered minced meat noodles and a haggis soup.
“Why is there wine? Do we have to pay extra for it?” After Meng Chuyuan sat down, her gaze was suddenly attracted by the two bottles of Maotai on the table.
Perhaps the director heard her question, so he went forward to explain, “As your team performed the best today, this is a free reward for you.”
“So it’s free.” When Meng Chuyuan heard that it was free, she removed the packaging without hesitation.
The director: “…”
Meng Chuyuan poured herself a cup. Then, she raised the cup and sniffed it. In the end, she took a sip.
“Not bad.”
She looked up at Lu Jinsen and gestured. “Do you want some?”
Lu Jinsen’s eyes narrowed, and his thick eyelashes trembled. He glanced at Meng Chuyuan and said coldly, “No.”
Meng Chuyuan shrugged, indicating that it did not matter. “Alright, I’ll drink it myself.”
Occasionally, someone would come over to serve the dishes. Meng Chuyuan also raised her wine bottle and took the initiative to ask, “Uncle, do you want some?”
The uncle who served the dishes was probably stunned by her enthusiasm. After a while, he shook his head and refused. “I don’t know how to drink.”
After Meng Chuyuan heard this, she showed a regretful expression. “Alright, that’s a pity.”
Seeing Meng Chuyuan eating side dishes and drinking glass after glass of wine, the director couldn’t help but remind her softly, “Drink less. Can you save some for when we wrap up?”
When Meng Chuyuan heard this, she put down the wine glass in her hand and looked at the director with a slightly surprised expression. “If we drink this during wrap-up, these two bottles won’t be enough.”
“…” The director’s face instantly turned red.
[Although this is the truth, he’s the director. Can’t you give him some face? What nonsense are you spouting?!]
[Sister Meng’s expression just now was innocent and cute, as if she had accidentally undermined him. Hahaha.]
[Director: I was just putting out two bottles of Maotai as a gesture. Who knew that you would really drink it!]
[I’m dying of laughter. The director’s heart is probably bleeding.]
[Sister Meng: Director, you can’t do this. You want to bribe me just like that? You might as well say that you’ll drink in your next life.]
[Director, Director, just part with the wine. You can only gain when you give something up.]
Seeing that he was at a loss for words, Meng Chuyuan did not continue to make things difficult for him.
She patted the chair beside her and said to the director, “Director, why don’t you come over and have a drink?”
The director was obviously a little hesitant, but after much hesitation, he still came over.
Initially, he had prepared this wine to celebrate the record-breaking popularity of the live-stream. Coincidentally, Meng Chuyuan’s team had won first place in the afternoon’s competition, so he was willing to let Maotai take the table.
But who would have thought that Meng Chuyuan could drink!
The director: “Alright, let’s drink some. I’m craving it too.”
When Meng Chuyuan saw how straightforward the director was, an imperceptible slyness flashed across her eyes.
After the director sat down, Meng Chuyuan personally poured him a glass. Before drinking, the two of them even clinked glasses harmoniously.
The two of them finished their cups and Meng Chuyuan refilled them.
“Director, have some food.” Meng Chuyuan changed the pair of chopsticks and picked up some food for the director.
“Okay.” The director nodded like a chick pecking at rice. He was very satisfied with Meng Chuyuan’s performance.
He only wanted to have a few drinks, but he didn’t expect to get a free meal.
Initially, they thought that this was a harmonious banquet, but as time went on, the atmosphere seemed to have changed.
Lu Jinsen sat with them and ate together. He did not drink a single drop of alcohol the entire time and did not participate in their conversation.
The director probably saw that Meng Chuyuan drank without restraint, so he was not to be outdone. He even had the intention to snatch the wine. After drinking one glass, he immediately refilled it. He, who could not hold his liquor well, was drunk in a short while.
When the show was about to end, the director was so drunk that he couldn’t even stand up. In the end, two staff members came up and dragged him away.
[I’m dying of laughter. Sister Meng actually drank the director to death.]
[Hahahaha, this director is good. If there’s wine, he’ll really drink it!!]
[Is the director’s alcohol tolerance that bad? He can’t even win against a woman??]
[I didn’t expect Sister Meng to be so experienced. She has quite a few tricks up her sleeve.]
[Raise the director’s white flag. He probably doesn’t want to drink for a week, hahaha.]
[This is probably the result of the director being stingy. He’s afraid that Sister Meng will drink too much.]
Lu Jinsen looked at the director who was taken away and came back to his senses. His gaze landed on Meng Chuyuan, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes. “How are you? You should be able to leave, right?”
Meng Chuyuan took a deep breath and said, “It’s alright.”
While Meng Chuyuan and Lu Jinsen were on their way back, the live-stream had already ended.
The distance between the street lamps on the village road was a little large, and it was very dark under the light. There was basically no light. Because Meng Chuyuan had drunk alcohol, and the aftereffects slowly came in, she began to feel a little uncomfortable, so she did not walk quickly.
Although Lu Jinsen was walking in front, he did not dare to walk too fast. He was worried that Meng Chuyuan would not be able to keep up with him. Furthermore, he looked back every three steps, afraid that she would lose him.
Sensing that Meng Chuyuan’s speed was getting slower and slower, he simply stopped. With his hands in his pockets, he stood on the spot and watched her come over.
“Are you really alright?” Lu Jinsen asked.
Meng Chuyuan held her forehead and said, “I’m fine. It’s just that the wind is giving me a headache.”
“If you can’t drink, don’t drink. Why are you trying to be strong?”
“You’re only considered drunk when you’re passed out, okay?”
Lu Jinsen: “…”
Meng Chuyuan walked over slowly. She could finally walk side by side with Lu Jinsen.
She raised her eyes and looked ahead. The dark road seemed endless.
“Where are we?” she asked.
Lu Jinsen replied coldly, “I don’t know. Anyway, it’s good that we’re not home yet.”
At the same time…
After closing the live-stream, Qi Zhen heaved a sigh of relief, as if he had removed some heavy armor from his body.
Qi Yan came out after taking a shower and drying her hair. She sat on the sofa in the living room and started to do skincare.
While squeezing the essence, Qi Yan noticed that her hand was missing a nail again. Her eyes were suddenly filled with anger.
Her extensions were specially made for recording Variety shows. She did not expect it to break so quickly. When she thought of the unhappy incident in the afternoon, she felt even worse.
