Chapter 44: Chapter 44: A Man Should Look Like a Man

In the private room, the people who were just brimming with arrogance now looked like frosted eggplants. After all, they were not as impressive as Lu Deshui had described. Take Xie Zhifu, for instance—he was just a labor dispatch driver, yet he was said to swagger around the official compounds. The consequence of this mutual flattery was that once faced with a problem, their boldness completely fizzled out.

"I’ll drink!"

Finally, someone took the lead. As a teacher at the Number One High School, he dared not slack off in the slightest. If he were reported for a lack of professional ethics, he would be out of a job in no time. So without another word, he grabbed the cup in front of him and gulped down the liquor.

With someone taking the lead, others followed suit. With no choice but to steel themselves, they downed their liquor cups one after the other, and the spicy liquid scorching their throats instantly changed their complexions. The feeling of drinking on one’s own terms was certainly different from being forced to drink.

"Mr. Zhu, everyone has come from afar, and surely, they can’t just pour their own drinks. Come on, fill it up for the City leaders, and make sure it’s full. You wouldn’t want to give them less—that would be an insult."

Lin Fan, with his arms crossed, watched the group with a sneer as Zhu Zhixuan obediently picked up the bottle and filled everyone’s cups.

"Lin Fan, we’re all colleagues after all. Is this really necessary?"

Under the pressure of everyone’s gaze, Xie Zhifu bit the bullet and spoke up. But in the next second, Lin Fan pulled out his phone and said, "How about I contact Director Qu right now and tell her about how you pressured a beautiful teacher to drink in the County City below? Guess whether she would scratch you to death?"

"No... no, no, no... I’ll drink... I’ll drink!"

Xie Zhifu hurriedly gestured with his hands. After that night, each day had been more unbearable than the last. Just the thought of Qu Liping, who seemed to have gone mad, made him shudder. He quickly picked up the cup and drained it in one go.

Seeing Xie Zhifu backed down, the rest could only grit their teeth and pour another round from the cup into their systems. After two rounds, which totaled up to over half a jin of alcohol, their eyes were seeing stars, and they leaned back on their chairs, not daring to move a muscle.
