164: Celebration Banquet

"Then you definitely have to go!" Niu De said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll handle the follow-up matters. Drink a few more cups. Talk to the Chief and tell him that if there's work in the future, he should look for us again."

"What kind of work could there be in the future? We've already given him the blueprints for the Defense System," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

"That's true, I guess there won't be much opportunity for cooperation in the future," Niu De said with a hint of sadness.

"Don't be so pessimistic, maybe we'll have other avenues for cooperation," Liu Xiaolin comforted him.

"Right, maybe the Chiefs want to join our Xingji Travel Group, right?" Niu De said, broadening his perspective.

"Hahahaha, you're thinking too much. Can't the military's space shuttle satisfy their dream of interstellar travel?" Liu Xiaolin poured another bucket of cold water on him.

"Sigh, you're too good at pouring cold water. I'm not talking to you anymore. Go drink quickly. Do you need someone to drive for you? Don't drive after drinking, and don't drink after driving. You know that, right?" Niu De reminded him.

"No need, there are plenty of people there who don't drink. The Chief will definitely arrange someone to drive me back," Liu Xiaolin thought to himself, 'I've done so much for the military, surely they can arrange a designated driver for me?'

"That's right, that's right, there are plenty of young men there!" Niu De said, "Then hurry up and go, don't be late. We can talk about things tomorrow."

Liu Xiaolin nodded and walked out of the office to drive to the banquet. The journey was smooth, with green lights all the way.

Around six twenty, Liu Xiaolin arrived at the **Road** Company.

This time, the security guard must have received the message. When he saw Liu Xiaolin's car, he let him through directly and also called General Gui to inform him of his arrival.

General Gui rushed downstairs to greet him after receiving the call from the security guard. Just as he reached the building entrance, he saw Liu Xiaolin striding up the steps.

"Welcome, welcome!" General Gui shook Liu Xiaolin's hand and said enthusiastically, "We've all been waiting for you."

"Sorry to have kept everyone waiting. I rushed here as fast as I could, and I'm still a few minutes early," Liu Xiaolin said with a smile.

"It's alright, we were chatting while waiting for you. It's also a rare opportunity for everyone to communicate," General Gui said with a smile.

The two spoke as they walked into the elevator and quickly reached the tenth floor.

The Chief actually came to the elevator entrance to greet them. Liu Xiaolin was a little overwhelmed. He bowed and shook hands with the Chief: "How dare you personally greet me? This is too much."

"What's too much? You are the great hero who completed the mission this time. It would be a disservice to you if I didn't come downstairs to greet you," the Chief said with a hearty laugh, "Let's go, let's go to the banquet hall together. The food and drinks are ready, we're just waiting for you to start."

After saying that, he took Liu Xiaolin's hand and walked towards the banquet hall. Everyone else followed behind, including Shi Hangtian.

This was General Gui's arrangement. He was afraid that Liu Xiaolin wasn't familiar with the people inside and wouldn't be able to relax while drinking, so he found another acquaintance to give him courage.

Shi Hangtian was naturally happy about this, because with his seniority, he wasn't qualified to attend a banquet on the tenth floor. This time, he was also able to see the tenth floor thanks to Liu Xiaolin.

After entering, the Chief pulled Liu Xiaolin to sit beside him. The others took their predetermined seats. Shi Hangtian and General Gui both sat directly opposite Liu Xiaolin, so Liu Xiaolin could see them both as soon as he looked up.

With two acquaintances nearby, Liu Xiaolin did indeed relax a lot.

Several cold dishes were served on the table, as well as the famous Dragon Country Maotai.

"Tell the kitchen to serve the hot dishes," General Gui quietly instructed the guard at the door.

Upon receiving the order, the kitchen immediately began cooking and serving. Soon, the table was filled with various delicacies.

"Come, come, let's all raise a glass to General Manager Liu and celebrate his successful completion of the mission this time," the Chief proposed a toast, and everyone responded enthusiastically. 33 Novel Network

Everyone here except Liu Xiaolin was a soldier, and soldiers are incredibly straightforward when they drink.

Amidst the clinking of glasses, Liu Xiaolin became more and more relaxed. Not only did he accept every toast, but he also started calling others 'Uncle' and 'Brother', filling the air with laughter and cheerful voices.

"Uncle, I toast you, thank you for your trust in me," Liu Xiaolin said, raising his glass to the Chief.

The Chief looked at the young man who quickly integrated himself with satisfaction: "Alright, I'll finish this, you can drink as you like."

"No, no, you drink as you like, I'll finish it! I'm young, I can't take advantage of you, an elder!"

Liu Xiaolin's words amused the Chief.

"Then aren't I taking advantage of you?" the Chief said with a smile, finishing the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaolin also quickly finished his: "Thank you, Chief, for your help. If you need anything from me in the future, please feel free to ask."

"Young man, you have a great future," the Chief said happily, "You're a bit like how I was back then, daring to drink and daring to charge!"

"I can't compare to you. I need to learn from you," Liu Xiaolin said humbly.

At this point, Shi Hangtian chimed in: "General Manager Liu, don't be so modest. During the time we worked together, I got to know you very well. You handle things decisively and never procrastinate! Come, come, I'll toast you!"

"General Manager Shi, you know me, why are you speaking so formally? I should toast you, it must be me toasting you! For the sake of our Dragon Country's military drones, you resolutely embarked on the path of military industry, I admire you greatly," Liu Xiaolin said, raising his glass.

After he finished speaking, the Chief looked at Shi Hangtian, and the person next to him immediately introduced Shi Hangtian's resume in his ear.

The Chief nodded: "This Shi Hangtian is also good, he can be cultivated well in the future."

Shi Hangtian saw this scene and was even happier. Who doesn't want their future path to become wider and wider?

"No, I must toast you! General Manager Liu, listen to me, I'm toasting you because today's mission was completed too perfectly," Shi Hangtian said loudly, "You are the hero in my heart!"

Seeing this, Liu Xiaolin couldn't refuse anymore, so he readily took the lead and drank the wine in his glass: "Then I'll drink first as a sign of respect."

Shi Hangtian also finished a glass after him.

Although they were small cups holding only half a liang, drinking them one after another was quite impressive.

Liu Xiaolin gradually drank more and more. He looked at the people around him, and they were starting to look a bit blurry.

"I can't anymore, I'm a bit drunk, I can't drink anymore," Liu Xiaolin felt a little uncomfortable and said, waving his hand, "I can't drink anymore, please excuse me."

The Chief also saw that Liu Xiaolin was indeed drunk, so he said, "Since General Manager Liu is drunk, everyone, don't make it difficult for him anymore. Those who like to drink can have a couple more glasses, and those who have had enough should eat more food."

Hearing the Chief speak, everyone naturally stopped drinking: "We've also had enough to drink, let's just eat some dishes and some staple food."

Liu Xiaolin thought to himself, 'As expected of soldiers, with one order, everyone stops drinking, even if some bottles of Maotai were just opened.'
