NOVEL NEXT Chapter 89 Toast
"Mr. Xia, right? Don't be such a spoiler. There's no one who doesn't drink at the dinner table. This is obviously disrespectful. He's not looking down on us. I wish Mr. Xia good luck in his work and good health for the first time. I'll do it. You can do whatever you want." ." The young leader from Qilu took the initiative to toast Xia Haoyang.
Xia Haoyang's predecessor, Fatty Xia, had few contacts with Qilu people, but in the original time and space, Xia Haoyang had contact with many buddies from Qilu land. Most of them were cheerful and righteous. Xia Haoyang also knew that Qilu people valued the wine table culture. In their eyes, there was no drinking at the wine table. It was truly an unforgivable crime, so Xia Haoyang took it upon himself to do it. Since you are so hospitable, I will accompany you. Without saying a word, he drained a glass of 3 liang 3 of 54° white wine, and was immediately greeted with applause from everyone at the dinner table.
"That's right. These are brothers. Let's do it again. With the second cup, I wish our Mr.
With this sentence again, Xia Haoyang complained in his heart but his expression remained unchanged and he drank another drink.
"Happy, Mr. Xia is late. This is the third cup. For the third cup, I am selfish and will not bless you, Mr. Field!" The little leader was really happy and drank a large glass of liquor again. The surrounding crowd cheered even louder.
What else can be done? For Chinese dramas, a play that can be performed for 50 performances is already a milestone moment, worthy of a celebration banquet. Although Western dramas can be performed for 200-300 performances at every turn, there is no comparison at all. of. Xia Haoyang didn't say much as he wished others a milestone, and drained the glass of white wine again.
From being evasive at the beginning to being happy now, people around him are becoming more and more satisfied with Xia Haoyang's performance. Fortunately, Xia Haoyang spent several years in Yanbian back then. That corner of the Northeast is also a place with good wine. Xia Haoyang developed his drinking ability in Yanbian. Normally, 2 pounds of liquor can be tolerated. In fact, he drinks more beer. Back then, he and two or three friends could easily drink hundreds of bottles. After drinking, he could still watch the football game in the middle of the night without feeling sleepy at all. . So now these three glasses of liquor consume a pound of liquor, which is still a small amount.
Tang Wanqi next to her was also very excited when she saw Xia Haoyang's drinking. She had eaten with the troupe many times. She knew that the leader liked drinking and had many rules. She saw that Xia Haoyang could win the favor of this leader and showed great enthusiasm during the drinking. Her arrogance also made her feel that Xia Haoyang was extremely charming at this moment. Her expression was as tender as honey. Anyone who saw Tang Wanqi at this moment could tell that she was passionately devoted to the man in front of her.
What is really interesting to Tang Wanqi is the son of a deputy director of the troupe, whose surname is Guan, who is also the person in charge of human resources in the troupe.
The Haidian Repertory Theater has actually been established only a few years ago. It is a small, non-profit theater troupe founded by several big-name actors in the industry in 2016. At first, it was just to satisfy their own drama dreams, but the ideal is full and the reality is cruel, because Hua Guo The living environment of the drama circle has led to several founders withdrawing but attracting other investors. Now the theater is taking a commercial route. In essence, it is similar to Xia Haoyang's Fat Cat Studio, which can be regarded as a limited liability company. Director Guan's father is the largest financial investor in the troupe and plays an important role in the troupe.
Director Guan originally felt that Tang Wanqi was young and beautiful and no one seemed to be chasing her, so he started a series of pursuits. Today, when he saw that she actually brought her boyfriend, he didn't think about it at all. It's just that Xia Haoyang drank happily after he came, which seemed to be unanimously appreciated by everyone, so he felt a little unhappy in his heart and wanted to knock off Xia Haoyang's arrogance. If you can drink, then I'll let you drink.
"This Mr. Xia, right? I don't know what he does. He looks young and promising, and he's quite good at drinking. Come on, you all have to offer a toast to Mr. Xia. You can't embarrass our troupe." Director Guan began to humiliate. fire.
Since the leader requested it, the troupe members at the table and even people at the next table also came over to take turns toasting. In line with the principle of three mouthfuls after a glass of wine, Xia Haoyang was already uncomfortable with the round of toasts he was receiving after he had already drank a pound of white wine.
After persisting in the toasts of a circle of people, Xia Haoyang also felt a little dizzy and his face turned red.
“Mr.
It was etiquette to have a drink with everyone, so even if there were many people in the first round of toasts, Xia Haoyang didn't say anything and just drank. Now coming to the second round, Xia Haoyang knew that this person must be targeting him deliberately.
He deliberately burped, and then said: "I drank a round with everyone just now. To be honest, I really can't stand it anymore. I really can't drink it for the second round. How about I eat some food, please?" "
Most of the people present can actually accept this. They drank a lot in the round of toasts just now, and they also had three drinks in a row with Qilu's young leader. This performance is enough for everyone. Respected.
But after hearing this, Director Guan directly picked up his wine glass and stood up: "Young man, you are a hero. Come on, I respect you."
Some people saw that something was wrong.
Xia Haoyang covered the cup with his hand and looked straight at him: "I really drank too much today and I can't drink any more. Please forgive me."
"You're having a good time today, young man. We haven't had a glass of wine yet. Come on, I'll toast you, I'll do it, you do whatever you want." Director Guan took the initiative to drink up his own glass of wine.
Xia Haoyang thought for a while, "Okay, I haven't drank with this gentleman before, I'll do it." Then he took his hand away, asked someone to pour another full glass, and then drank.
In fact, Tang Wanqi also felt something strange at this time, and wanted to drink for Xia Haoyang, but Xia Haoyang shook his head at her, so he held back and said nothing.
"Have a good time, have a good time, come on, let me toast you another drink, young man, I wish you a bright future!" Director Guan poured himself another glass of wine, and then drank again.
This time Xia Haoyang did not drink again, but watched him finish the drink in silence, and then said slowly: "I'm sorry, I really can't drink today. I'm sorry."
"I've already done this. It's not good if you don't drink." Director Guan said.
At this point, everyone at the table seemed to feel that something was wrong. They looked at each other, so one person came out to smooth things over: "Well, Mr. It’s appropriate, but don’t drink it after that.”
So everyone also tried to persuade me.
Unable to resist the crowd of people urging him to drink, Xia Haoyang thought for a moment, "Okay, let's take the last sip." So he poured a glass and drank it again.
"Okay, that's right. You're good, young man. Director Wang toasted you three cups at first, and I wish you the third cup..." Director Guan beat the snake and followed the stick to toast you for the third cup.
"Hold on, I really can't drink anymore. I just said it was the last sip. Now that you've given me a toast, I really don't want to drink anymore."
"Oh, it's okay for a young man to drink two glasses of wine. Just soak in his urine and he'll be fine. If you drink three glasses of wine with Director Wang instead of three glasses of wine with me, why don't you give me face?" Director Guan said angrily.
"I, Xia Haoyang, have given you a lot of face today for the sake of my girlfriend. I haven't eaten a bite of food since I came here, and I must have drank a lot. How else can I give face to you?" Xia Haoyang was also a little unhappy.
In fact, these words already have the smell of gunpowder. I didn't even eat a bite of food when I came here, and I was toasted by a large circle of people. This clearly means that your troupe is bullying people. The other people actually looked a little ugly, and there was nothing they could do to persuade them.
"For the last drink, I will only toast you three glasses. You can drink it or not as you wish after that." Director Guan was still angry.
"I can't drink anymore, sorry." Xia Haoyang covered the cup again with his hand.
"So you don't give me face." Director Guan's attitude changed.
"What the hell if I don't give you face." Xia Haoyang exploded.
