"How can you not hold grudges?"
Zhao Guo'an declared confidently, "People who don't hold grudges either have bad memories, are powerless to seek revenge, or are simply carefree. I'm certainly not one of those types.
When I was in elementary school, there was a classmate named Niu Hujun who deflated my bicycle tire, causing me to push the bike home. I've remembered this ever since."
Xiao Feng pondered and said, "It seems like you really hold grudges."
"I don't see anything wrong with holding a grudge," Zhao Guo'an replied.
"Yeah, there's nothing wrong with it," Xiao Feng said with a worried look. "I remember you said before that dangers should be nipped in the bud. Lao Zhao, is it that you're waiting for the right time to get back at me?"
"When did I ever say that?"
"Even if you don't say it, it doesn't mean you're not thinking it. So, should I strike first to stay safe?"
"..." Zhao Guo'an.
At this moment, Bi Quan and Guan Huarong walked over and greeted everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, please follow me. The food and drink are ready. Let's eat and chat."
The venue was set in the manor's back garden, where the lights were dazzling and the air incredibly fresh.
Not far away, there was a steaming hot spring, with countless tiny fish swimming within.
In the dead of winter, sitting in it for a soak and a fish pedicure was absolutely an enjoyment!
Xiao Feng and the others gathered around a table, although it was somewhat crowded, there was just enough space to sit.
Once everyone had found their seats, Bi Quan raised his glass, smiled broadly, and said, "Many thanks to you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this gathering. Let's skip the chatter and first have a drink together!"
Everyone present got up, some eager for fun also helped to organize, saying, "Come on, come on, raise your glasses and thank President Bi for his gracious hospitality."
For a moment, everyone started engaging in small talk, though obviously fake, it certainly created a lively atmosphere.
Bi Quan casually swept his gaze towards Xiao Feng's table, noticing that this group had stood up, holding their glasses like everyone else, yet the color inside was transparent.
Looking at the unopened bottles of liquor on the table, it was undoubtedly just plain water inside.
Having come to this conclusion, Bi Quan frowned slightly, "Mr. Xiao, we are all friends here; using water in place of wine doesn't seem right, does it?"
Everyone turned to look at Xiao Feng's table and began egging on, although most spoke with a joking tone.
"Mr. Xiao, this seems a bit insincere."
"Yes, Mr. Xiao seems like he can hold his drink. If this wine isn't to your taste, I have a good bottle in my car."
"I also have a vintage brew, Mr. Xiao can try a taste."
Xiao Feng put down his glass, waved to quiet the noise, and said, "You may not know, but we are drinking water not because we're disrespectful, nor trying to be tricky, but genuinely out of necessity."
Speaking, he took out a rectangular box from his pocket, which prominently displayed: Cefaclor tablets.
As he opened the packaging, Xiao Feng said, "I've caught a bit of a cold recently, and we've been taking medicine, so it's inconvenient to drink alcohol."
After his words, he distributed two tablets to each person at the table, and they put the medicine into their mouths and washed it down with water.
Everyone was uniformly stunned by this operation!
How can you continue to urge them to drink after this?
It's common knowledge that cephalosporins and alcohol are a deadly combination.
So now it's clear: anyone urging Xiao Feng and the team to drink would be a murderer.
"Damn it! What the hell is up with these guys?" Bi Junxian gritted his teeth.
The assistant next to him hurriedly advised him to lower his voice.
Meanwhile, Bi Quan and Guan Huarong's expressions were quite dramatic; they never expected Xiao Feng to pull such a move.
But regardless, the plan of hoping Xiao Feng and others would spill the truth after drinking was squashed before it could even begin.
In fact, given Xiao Feng's capacity for alcohol, he naturally didn't fear competitive drinking.
But the problem was the surrounding tycoons, after seeing Bi Quan being tricked miserably, still wanted to invite Xiao Feng out to dine, certainly considering him a big shot.
Since he's a big shot, they would undoubtedly desperately want to toast him later, hoping to curry favor.
Therefore, to avoid dealing with these tycoons, Xiao Feng had deliberately stopped by a pharmacy on the way.
...
After the toast, the tycoons began to use chopsticks to eat, and the following toasts around the tables were inevitable without something lining the stomach.
Bi Quan and Guan Huarong exchanged a glance, then looked at Xiao Feng and the crew enjoying their meals wholeheartedly. Their emotions were really mixed, difficult to put into words.
After several failed plans, both began to doubt whether there truly was a perfect person in this world?
While thinking of this, Zhao Guo'an walked over and greeted them, then went next to Bi Junxian and smiled, "Bro, this morning, I did make some mistakes, don't be upset."
Bi Junxian thought to himself that this sounded more like human words, but the grudge in his heart was clearly something a few soft words couldn't diminish.
He picked up his glass, clinked it with Zhao Guo'an, and then put the glass down on the table.
Zhao Guo'an didn't mind, said his piece, then directly turned back to his original seat.
"Did you get it in?" Xiao Feng asked while eating.
"Yeah." Zhao Guo'an nodded, "I slipped it in when clinking glasses, unless he doesn't drink that glass of wine."
Just as he finished talking, they saw Bi Junxian slam the glass down after draining it in one go.
Seeing Zhao Guo'an look over, Bi Junxian's eyes were full of undisguised hostility, as if saying: This isn't over!
At this moment, a rotund tycoon at the adjacent table came over with a wine glass, full of smiles, "Mr. Xiao, I am Zhao Zhiyun, in the lumber business."
After introducing himself, Zhao Zhiyun took out a business card, carefully placed it on the table, and said, "If there are any business opportunities, please think of your old brother here a bit, there will definitely be rewards. I'll finish this drink first!"
With that, he tilted his head and drained a full glass of white wine, then turned the glass upside down to show his sincerity.
Xiao Feng's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking, "This is troublesome."
Sure enough, after the portly tycoon left, more and more people came over with their wine glasses.
The process was quite similar: first a self-introduction, then a business card, and finally downing a full glass.
Looking at the increasingly thick stack of business cards in front of him, Xiao Feng was amused and exasperated, thinking, "I'm already like this and still can't get away?"
"What exactly do you want from me before you'll let me off?"
"Hold it for a sec." Quite fed up, Xiao Feng raised his hand to signal a pause.
The tycoons quieted down, waiting for his words.
Xiao Feng pointed to Lin Jiaxuan, "You all saw this kid, right?"
The tycoons nodded but were full of confusion in their eyes, not quite understanding what Xiao Feng meant.
