The winner of the first match will then compete with the winner of the fifth match for a place in the semi-finals, the winner of the second match against the winner of the sixth match, and so on. In the semi-finals, the winner of one or five games will play against the winner of three or seven games, and the winner of two or four games will face the winner of four or eight games.

That is to say, Lin Xiaoran and I will not meet before the finals, but if we want to win in the finals, it is estimated that I need to defeat the dragon mage Falling Leaves with the Wind and my old friend Yanyu Chuchen, and it is not easy to get stuck in the finals, and Lin Xiaoran advanced to the quarterfinals directly met the old brother Yanyu Dusk, after winning the Yanyu Dusk, it is very likely that he will meet Pitang Zhang and Tian Mengjie successively, and if he wants to advance to the finals, the difficulty is even greater than me.

And this is just a guess now, there are no weaklings who can get to this point, and it is not certain how many of my acquaintances will be able to enter the quarterfinals, but I believe that I and Lin Xiaoran will not be absent from the quarterfinals, there is no reason, that is, self-confidence.

Today's game is over, and the evening drinking party is about to start, but fortunately, the hotel where the reception was held is not very far from the competition venue, and it is only a few minutes' walk away, so there is no need to worry about being late.

As the contestants in the offline competition, we all got the invitation to the reception in advance, and this time Shiqi did not have an invitation. And she is still recuperating from her illness, it is said that the evening drinking party is mainly a cold meal, but in fact, it is not with her, otherwise it is impossible for Lin Xiaoran not to get her an invitation.

Pi Tangzhang had to take care of Shiqi, so he didn't plan to participate for a while, so only me and Yaxin went over.

When we came to the hotel, we showed the invitation card and went in, only to see that the lights inside were not lively, and the large-screen TV hanging on the wall was playing the promotional video of the Xinguang Almighty King smart bracelet. It's just that there is no table in Nima's huge banquet hall, do you want a group of us to eat standing up?

At this time, many people had already mentioned that they were there, and they all stood in the local area, occasionally picking up a glass of various colors of drinks (or possibly wine) from the plate held by the waiter passing by, taking a sip, and then continuing to talk and laugh.

Yaxin seemed to see through my thoughts, smiled and whispered in my ear: "Brother, this Western-style buffet is originally eaten standing up, so it is more convenient for everyone to move around and communicate with each other." Of course, if you are tired, you can also rest on the chairs on both sides. ”

I said, "Isn't that like a cocktail party on TV?" ”

Yashin replied with a smile: "This originally evolved from a cocktail party, but this kind of cold meal will have some staple foods such as barbecue to fill your stomach, but there is basically no cocktail party." ”

I said, "You know, as if you've been there before." ”

Yaxin stood up and said proudly: "I didn't have the opportunity to participate in it in the past, but a senior sister in our school who is going to graduate school can often participate in such activities, and I often hear her say, so I also know the rules." ”

As we were talking, all of a sudden everyone looked in the direction of the door almost at the same time, and out of curiosity, Yashin and I also temporarily ended our conversation and turned our heads to look at the door, I wanted to see what kind of sacredness could attract the attention of so many people in the room at once.

I saw that the deputy mayor who had appeared during the day walked in under the hug of a group of people, and Lin Xiaoran's parents followed closely by the deputy mayor's side.

It turned out that the leader was there, and I was a little disappointed, thinking that it was a big beauty.

As a result, as soon as I looked away, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd, and many of the animals looked like and muttered to themselves, "It's beautiful, it's really beautiful!" ”

Cough? It turned out that the Lin family and his wife were followed by other beauties, I didn't notice it just now, it seems that there is really something wrong with my eyes, so I turned my head to look in the direction of the door again.

I saw that a peerless beauty wearing a snow-white dress walked in closely behind the Lin family and his wife, she looked so beautiful under the illumination of the light, like a fairy who had just come to the world, and her beautiful face was very familiar to me, basically I could see it every day.

Yes, the one who can enter the scene behind the Lin family and his wife is of course Lin Xiaoran, the only daughter of the Lin family in Guangzhou. By Lin Xiaoran's side, Lin Yingyi and Lin Xiaoran, who also killed the eyeballs of countless men, walked in hand like a pair of close sisters.

The main owners have arrived, followed by a series of leadership speeches, collective toasts and other formal procedures, busy for a while, and finally Lin Xiaoran's father, Lin Huamin, the helmsman of Haotian Collective, announced the start of the reception.

During the group toast, there was a small episode, I reached out and called a few waiters, only to find that they were not serving liquor on their plates, and finally everyone had already raised their glasses, so I really couldn't just take a glass of blue and quickly raised it.

Then when everyone toasted together, I took a sip of whatever it was, and I almost threw it up, this thing looks beautiful but it's too bad, right? At the same time, I kept slandering in my heart: Nima, what a broken five-star hotel, there is not even a liquor.

After completing the task of toasting collectively, I immediately threw the triangular cup to a waiter, and before I had time to serve the plate to the middle food station to get food, I went to the wine station to find the liquor.

As a result, there was white liquor on the wine table, but it was brandy and sprite, and there was no liquor at all.

"Why is there no liquor?" I grabbed a waiter and asked.

"I'm sorry, sir, this is a Western-style buffet, and we won't prepare liquor for guests." The waiter replied.

"But what if I just want to drink liquor?"

"I'm sorry, then I can't help it." The waiter was not very polite, because the other guests were dressed more formally, only 32 of us, no, it should be 31 contestants dressed more dicks, which is easy to see. And we, the players, were definitely the least honored guests tonight.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind me: "Why, little brother, you are not used to these cocktails, brandy, right?" ”

Listening to the voice, I immediately judged that this was my Deputy Mayor, who had made a speech this morning and evening, and that voice was all too familiar.

I immediately turned around and said to him respectfully: "Back to Mayor Qin's words, I really can't get used to drinking these." ”

The deputy mayor immediately said to the waiter: "Ask for a bottle of liquor, and I will have a few drinks with this little brother." ”

……

Lin Xiaoran and Lin Yingyi, the two most gorgeous flowers in the field, are naturally the most popular characters, Lin Xiaoran needless to say, she still doesn't have a boyfriend (I don't think I think it's for the time being), and it is said that Lin Yingyi doesn't have a boyfriend yet. So the two sisters instantly attracted a large number of promising young people dressed like dogs around them, looking at their clothes and talking, it is estimated that they are either the rich second generation or turtles, in short, I eavesdropped on a few words with my ears and was stunned but didn't understand a word.

Lin Yingyi has been crawling in the mall for several years, and obviously often faces this kind of scene, so she can deal with it easily, and it is not easy to talk and laugh, but once it comes to specific issues, she will not say anything.

And Lin Xiaoran is different, although she is the eldest lady of the Lin family in Guangzhou, it is estimated that she rarely participated in similar activities before, and she was obviously a little impatient with those admirers around her, and her brows were almost always furrowed.

Seeing her expression, many people walked away with an excuse, but there was a pretentious guy who kept chasing after Lin Xiaoran's ass and was reluctant to leave for a moment.

At this time, the deputy mayor and I were already drunk, and it was when the wine was a thousand glasses of confidants, but Lin Xiaoran urgently needed me to go over to solve the siege, and there was a deputy mayor who couldn't just leave someone else, maybe I would have to borrow a word from someone when I wanted to marry Lin Xiaoran in the future and needed to ask for the consent of her family.

It's not to go, it's not to stay, I'm as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

The deputy mayor saw it in his eyes and said to me with a smile: "Hurry up, don't go late, your girlfriend has been robbed." ”

"This ......"

"Go ahead, I've been young too."

Now that the leaders have spoken, I still have nothing to worry about, and I said to Niu B, I am now also a girl on the order.

"Mayor Qin, then I'll be out of company first, and I'll come back later." I said respectfully to the Deputy Mayor.

"Hurry up, I'll wait for you to drink."

Lin Xiaoran seemed to be really impatient over there, and had the urge to go crazy soon, so I immediately got up and walked over quickly, lifted the back collar of that guy and directly lifted him up and put it aside: "People have been impatient with you for a long time, can't you see it yourself, let's hurry up, it's the most boring thing to stalk or something." ”

The guy turned his head and saw that I was dressed so plainly, and suddenly became arrogant again, and said angrily: "Who are you doing, you don't have to worry about our affairs." ”

Lin Xiaoran immediately stood up, grabbed my hand and said, "He's my boyfriend, okay?" ”

It is estimated that Lin Xiaoniu was also forced to be anxious, otherwise she should not have used this trick, I am 100% sure that she will turn her back and refuse to admit this sentence again.

The guy glanced at the wine glass in my hand, and said to Lin Xiaoran with a sneer: "Just him, the turtle who still drinks liquor at the cold dinner, what qualifications does he have to be your boyfriend, if you want to be perfunctory, I won't use this kind of goods as a shield." ”

I was about to say something, when I suddenly noticed that the boy's face had turned the color of pork liver, and at the same time I could feel a very familiar smell behind me, which was the same as the Wuliangye in my cup.
