Not long after, six or seven people came in from the door of the private room, and those at the front were Guo Jun and Cheng Nian'er.
Guo Jun is Cheng Nian'er's husband. He works in a certain national system. He is tall and strong, with big earlobes, a straight nose and a square mouth. His only shortcoming is that, like Xiao Hua, he is a little bald.
The people who came in with Guo Jun were all his colleagues and leaders, some of whom Huang Ming also knew, but among the few people he didn't know, there was a cultivator at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage.
The man also noticed Huang Ming, glanced at Huang Ming with squinted eyes, and said nothing.
"The guests are all here, please take your seats."
Cheng Nian'er greeted loudly, and everyone took their seats one after another.
Guo Jun and Cheng Nian'er sat at the upper table with Guo Jun's leaders and colleagues. Guo Jun and Cheng Nian'er's friends all sat at the lower table. Huang Ming and Yang Xukuan sat at the farthest side, with the private room door behind them.
After serving the food, Guo Jun stood up:
"Everyone, let me introduce to you. This is Waiting Bureau and this is Zhang Bureau. They are both my leaders. I cannot be where I am today without the training and support of these two leaders."
"Today is my birthday. I would like to take this opportunity to express my very formal and sincere thanks to the two leaders."
After Guo Jun finished speaking, he turned around and bowed to Hou Ju and Zhang Ju. The two leaders waved their hands quickly.
"No, no, no, this is all the result of your own efforts. It's your birthday today, don't be so formal, sit down and sit down."
"Okay, since the leader has spoken, we won't talk about official business today. Let's just eat and drink. By the way, this is Director Fang Qiang, whom I met when I went to the capital for further study. Let's get to know each other."
After Guo Jun finished speaking, he pointed at the monk at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage.
The monk named Fang Qiang didn't speak, he just smiled and nodded to everyone, and everyone nodded to him as a greeting.
"Okay, I won't go into details. Everyone here is my old colleagues and good friends. Some of you have seen some of them before, so just use your chopsticks and let's eat."
Guo Jun didn't say much nonsense, so the banquet began.
It's just that this party is a little strange.
In the first half of the table, Guo Jun and his leaders and colleagues toasted frequently and it was extremely lively.
In the second half of the table, Huang Ming and Yang Xukuan, friends of Guo Jun and Cheng Nianer, just lowered their heads to eat their food, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Halfway through the meal, Cheng Nian'er winked at Huang Ming and Yang Xukuan, signaling them to toast the leader. Yang Xukuan waved his finger and pointed at Huang Ming.
Huang Ming knew that Yang Xukuan didn't go because he was afraid that he would sing and dance after drinking too much, so he came to the table with a wine glass.
"Hello, Hou Ju. I am a good friend of Guo Jun and Cheng Nian'er. Thank you for your concern and care for them over the years. I propose a toast to you. I'll do it. You can do whatever you want."
After Huang Ming finished speaking, he drank the wine.
Hou Ju was Guo Jun's old leader and had retreated to the second line. When he saw Huang Ming coming to propose a toast, he raised his glass very politely and took a sip with Huang Ming.
Huang Ming also toasted to Guo Jun's current leader Zhang Ju, who also drank.
After paying respects to Zhang Ju, Huang Ming came to Director Fang Qiangfang who came from the capital, that is, the immortal cultivator at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage.
"Fangchu, I'm a good friend of Guo Jun and Cheng Nian'er. I'd like to toast you. I'll do it. You can do whatever you want."
Huang Ming was still the same as before. After finishing speaking, he made a grunt, raised his head and drained his wine.
but.
Fang Qiang didn't stand up or raise his glass. He squinted at Huang Ming.
"Forget it, this kind of wine is boring for us to drink, so don't waste it."
"this……".
Huang Ming was stunned for a moment.
What Fang Qiang said is right. No matter how good the wine is in the secular world, to immortal cultivators, it is just water. Once it enters the body, it will be refined by itself and has no alcoholic properties.
But the problem is that he drank the wine that Guo Jun and his leaders toasted to him before, including the wine that others toasted him, but he refused to drink it. What does this mean? Is it really for saving?
Huang Ming immediately understood that immortal cultivators valued strength. Because he had restrained his spiritual power, he looked like he was only at the sixth level of the Qi Refining Stage, while Fang Qiang was at the eighth level of the Qi Refining Stage. He looked down on his own cultivation.
"It's okay, as long as the director is happy."
Huang Ming smiled and silently returned to his seat.
Although he was a little unhappy, this was after all a birthday thank-you party for his good friend Guo Jun, and he didn't want to get into trouble.
"What? The room office doesn't give you face?"
Yang Xukuan also found that Huang Mingjing's drink from Fangqiang was rejected.
"What the hell, don't count the balls."
Huang Ming didn't want to cause trouble, but he was still a little depressed after being rejected.
"Forget it, didn't you just listen to what Guo Jun said? This guy is from the capital. Judging from the way Hou Ju and Zhang Ju are polite to him, he must be a big shot, so he'd better bear with it."
Yang Xukuan advised.
"What's wrong with the big shot? It's none of my business? Forget it, it's not a big deal. I won't argue with him. Don't worry."
Huang Ming nodded. He really didn't want to care about it. It wasn't a big deal.
After three drinks, the atmosphere of the banquet became much more lively.
Everyone, including Hou Ju and Zhang Ju, was not as restrained as they were at the beginning. At Cheng Nian'er's suggestion, everyone played a drinking game together.
Not long after the game was played, Deng Liu lost, and she handed the wine glass in front of her to Huang Ming.
Deng Liu is easy to get along with, and she is a beautiful woman who makes people wonder where to put her hands and feet, but she really doesn't know how to drink.
Once you drink alcohol, your whole body will turn red. If you drink too much, you will become allergic to alcohol and have to be sent to the hospital.
But the problem is that others don't know, especially that room.
I don't know whether he coveted Deng Liu's beauty or looked down on Huang Ming's cultivation. When he saw Deng Liu handing the wine glass to Huang Ming, he immediately screamed.
"Hey, beauty, what's going on with you? How can you find someone to drink for you while playing games?"
"If you drive, you can ask someone to drive for you. If you're drunk, you'll have to be driven away. If you ask someone to drive for you, what's the point of this game?"
"That's right, beauty, you can drink your own wine, you can't do it on your behalf."
Those at the table who did not know Deng Liu started making noises, including Wait Ju and Zhang Ju who also let Deng Liu drink by himself.
Deng Liu had no choice but to bite the bullet and have a drink.
"Hey, by the way, that's it. If you lose next time, you have to drink by yourself. The same goes for everyone else. They all have to drink by themselves. That's what makes it interesting."
Fang Qiang was very proud and deliberately glanced at Huang Ming after speaking.
"Okay, okay, if you lose, drink by yourself, drink by yourself."
Deng Liu replied, her little face already starting to turn red.
"Old Niu, are you okay? You can't joke about this kind of thing. Don't hold on."
Yang Xukuan was a little worried.
"You should be fine if you drink less. I won't lose, so it'll be fine."
Deng Liu was extremely reluctant, but she had no choice. She couldn't lose the face of Cheng Nian'er and Guo Jun over this matter, so she could only hold on.
Cheng Nian'er, who was sitting at the table, was also a little anxious.
She knew that Deng Liu couldn't drink, but it was hard for her to stop him in this situation, so she deliberately snorted and smiled at Fang Qiang.
"I said Fang Chu, please don't bully my friend. This friend of mine really can't drink. She gets allergic when she drinks. How about I drink for her if she loses?"
"No, no, you can only drink a beautiful woman's wine by yourself. You are a beautiful woman, so you must drink it by yourself. She is also a beautiful woman, so she must drink her own wine, is that right?"
Fang Qiang did not accept Cheng Nian'er's trick.
Those leaders and friends who didn't know the inside story were also making noises. Cheng Nian'er could only look at Deng Liu with sympathy, and there was nothing she could do.
