“I’m fine. I just went to a meeting. Prestige needs to be established slowly. This is a necessary process. In addition, I helped you gain the number two energy project this time. I am very happy.”

Qiu Xing’s tone was very heavy. “I found you deputies because I didn’t want you to participate in this type of social entertainment.” 

"I'm very happy to be able to participate in this type of entertainment. If I left it through a middle man then who knows whose hands this energy project would fall into?" Xie Yang held Qiu Xing's hand. "I helped you gain the project you want. Aren't you happy?"


How could he be happy? He knew the virtues of the people of the Northern Business Association best. Drinking was indispensable to gain a project. Xie Yang was a new face… Qiu Xing suddenly approached Xie Yang and smelled him.

There was the obvious smell of alcohol. Qiu Xing’s face turned dark for a second. He was angry and distressed. He hadn’t noticed such a strong smell of alcohol before! No wonder why Xie Yang looked so tired. Xie Yang looked aggrieved and stubborn. He was bullied by wine!

He straightened up and questioned, “How much did you drink?” 

Xie Yang knew when Qiu Xing came over to smell him that it wouldn’t be good. He lied without changing his face. “I had a cup and He Jun blocked everything else.”

He Jun bowed his head silently.

Qiu Xing stared at him. “There is such a strong smell of alcohol. How can it only be one cup? Tell the truth?”

“I’m telling the truth. The smell of wine is strong because I poured a bit on my clothes to pretend to be drunk.” 

Qiu Xing asked He Jun, “Are his words true?”

“…En.”

Qiu Xing took out his mobile phone and called a number. “Who did you send to the Northern Business Association meeting today… is he by your side… call him and have him answer the phone. He must answer even if he is drunk!”

Xie Yang knew it was going to be bad. 

Qiu Xing grabbed Xie Yang’s hands and squeezed tightly to prevent him from moving. Then he turned the phone on speaker. “How much wine did Xie Yang drink today?”

“At least one bottle!” The voice of the deputy of the Tao family came out, still a bit drunk. ”Chairman Qiu, Acting Chairman Xie is really powerful! Drinking alcohol is the same as drinking water! None of us could get him drunk. Everyone in the business association and the industry who told Chairman Xie to drink had to lie down. I have never seen anyone who can speak and drink so well. I like to talk with Chairman Xie—”

Xie Yang pulled out his hand and hung up the phone. It was silent. The storm was coming. Xie Yang tried to remedy it. “In fact, I won’t get drunk even if I drink a thousand cups.”

Qiu Xing grasped the hand that Xie Yang hadn’t pulled free with more force. 

“I wanted to gain the project to make you happy.”

Qiu Xing was expressionless. “Do you think I’m happy?”

“…It won’t happen next time.” Xie Yang held Qiu Xing’s hand with a sincerely ashamed expression. “I won’t lie to you again in the future. I was wrong. I’m sorry.”
