56: The senior schoolmate also came to join in the fun

"General Manager Liu, you've been toasting me for a while now, it's my turn to toast you!" Li Xiangyang raised his glass and said to Liu Xiaolin, "General Manager Liu is young and promising, maybe we'll have to rely on your great help in the future."

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. If Minister Li needs my help in the future, just say the word." Liu Xiaolin said modestly.

Li Xiangyang glanced at Xiao Han and Xiao Wu, and the two of them immediately understood.

The two of them raised their glasses and went to toast Liu Xiaolin: "General Manager Liu, we are both your fans, and we especially like you. We'd like to toast you."

"That's right, in the sea of people, not a minute early, not a minute late, we saw you, this is our destiny." Xiao Han used what he just learned, making everyone burst into laughter.

"Look at you guys, toasting like you're telling a story." Li Xiangyang said with a smile.

"Telling stories is good, I like listening to stories, because I like the beauty revealed between the lines in stories, I like the calm acceptance after the joys and sorrows in stories, I like the silence after the laughter and tears in stories. Who isn't a character in a story? Being yourself and making yourself a character in a comedy story is the best thing." Liu Xiaolin had drunk his fill and started talking loudly again.

"Oh, General Manager Liu said it so well! To you saying such philosophical words, I'll drink first as a sign of respect." Xiao Han finished speaking, tilted his head back, and drained the wine in his glass.

"Then I'll drink too, cheers to all of us here becoming the protagonists of dramatic stories!" Liu Xiaolin finished speaking and also drained his glass.

Everyone was happily drinking back and forth like this when the waiter knocked and came in: "Hello, we're serving the last dish, and then, would you like a main course?"

"Of course! We want your restaurant's famous red oil wontons, one bowl each." Zhao Rui said.

"We can't even finish all these dishes, let's not order a main course!" Li Xiangyang said.

"No way, you don't know, Yixian Garden's red oil wontons are too delicious, you can eat another big bowl even when you're full. Just try it." Zhao Rui hadn't drunk any alcohol; he was busy pouring drinks for everyone and hadn't eaten much, so of course, he insisted on ordering a main course.

"That's right, that's right, we have to order a main course!" Liu Xiaolin said loudly.

The waiter didn't close the door when serving the dishes; the door was open, and his voice carried into the corridor, where it was heard by Dong Yuhui.

"Is that Liu Xiaolin's voice?" She looked curiously into the private room; indeed, it was him.

"I'll go say hello to him." Thinking this, she walked into the private room.

"Xiaolin, are you eating here too?" She said with a smile.

"Oh, it's Senior Apprentice Sister! You're a multi-million streamer now, how do you have time to come here to eat yourself!" It was clear that Liu Xiaolin had drunk a bit too much; his speech was slurred, and his voice was very loud.

"Isn't that Dong Yuhui!" Xiao Han and Xiao Wu said with wide eyes.

"Ah? This is Dong Yuhui? She's really beautiful." The people from Jiangnan Machinery Factory were seeing Dong Yuhui herself for the first time and were quite excited.

"I don't stream every day, it's not my shift today, so I made plans to have dinner with a few colleagues. I heard your voice while walking in the corridor, so here I am, coming over to say hello." Dong Yuhui said with a smile.

"Senior Apprentice Sister, then I must toast you." Liu Xiaolin said, taking Dong Yuhui's hand.

"Don't you know I can't drink alcohol!" Dong Yuhui said with a chiding smile.

"Senior Apprentice Sister, do you know who this is? This is the famous Minister Li Xiangyang from Chuandong Group. If you don't drink with me, you should at least have a drink with Minister Li, right!" Liu Xiaolin said.

"Minister Li from Chuandong Group? I've long admired you! How about this, I'll use cola instead of alcohol to toast you." Dong Yuhui said calmly.

"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. Miss Dong is so knowledgeable; it is I who have long admired your reputation." Li Xiangyang stood up and said.

"Stop being so modest, you are all excellent, excellent people!" Liu Xiaolin said with a slurred tongue.

After all, he was only twenty years old, still a bit too young, and his alcohol tolerance was a bit lacking.

Seeing that Liu Xiaolin had drunk too much, Dong Yuhui was genuinely worried about just leaving. It seemed this Minister Li was a very important client, and she couldn't offend him.

"Xiaolin is my junior apprentice brother, like a real brother to me. Minister Li, please take good care of him in the future! I really can't drink alcohol, so I'll toast you with cola, please don't mind!" Dong Yuhui said as she poured herself a glass of cola, holding it with both hands to toast Li Xiangyang.

Li Xiangyang certainly wouldn't quibble over such things: "It's my honor to have a drink with such a talented woman. Alcohol or not, as long as there's feeling, wine and water are the same!"

After speaking, both of them drained the liquid in their glasses.

This time, Xiao Han and Xiao Wu didn't need Li Xiangyang to give them a signal. They directly raised their glasses and approached Dong Yuhui: "Miss Dong, we'd also like to toast you, you can't refuse!"
