Chapter 362: The Difference in Wine Table Culture
Liu Maohe sat next to Zheng Wenjiang, took a sip of wine with a smile, and easily concealed his excitement.
Tsk, good wine, good food, good accommodation......
Boss Wen is magnificent!
Liu Maohe's indescribable sense of satisfaction in his heart, as well as a hint of pride - speaking of which, there are so many people in Liujiaying and the cotton mill community, and only we were invited to attend the opening ceremony of Shuoyuan Holding Company.
What made him particularly comfortable was that Qi Dechang, the boss of Dechang Group, and the big boss named Fang Qing would also receive Wen Shuo's invitation letter, after all, they were all famous upper-level figures in Dongyun and even the entire Linguan area, but he didn't see those two people today. Liu Maohe would not be stupid to think that the two of them received the invitation letter but were not available, or did not give Wen Shuo this face, there was only one possibility, Wen Shuo did not invite them at all.
What does this mean?
Liu Dacun thought that this showed that Wen Shuo regarded him as a friend, and Qi Dechang and Fang Qing hummed......
What are you?!
Looking at the guests at the two tables where Wen Shuo and Skullcap Zhi were, thinking about the introduction of the host at the previous ceremony, Village Chief Liu became more and more cheerful, and suddenly had some thoughts in his heart, so he said to Zheng Wenjiang next to him: "Wenjiang, a few of us are friends from Mr. Wen's hometown, we can't go over there, how many toasts are there?"
As he spoke, he tilted his face and compared his chin to the two tables where Wen Shuo and Skullcap Zhi were.
Zheng Wenjiang frowned slightly and showed displeasure, then smiled and said, "Brother Shuo will come over in a while, let's let him drink two more glasses, and don't go over to toast anything." β
Li Bin quipped: "Lao Liu, if you want to go, go by yourself, and let the people give yourself courage." β
"What's the matter?" Liu Maohe pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "If you are still bold, aren't they carrying a mouth on their shoulders?" It seems that we are not qualified to toast them, isn't it just a little more famous than us, and their status is higher...... As an old friend of Mr. Wen, let's give them face in the past!"
Liu Jile said: "Then we should put up a shelf and wait for them to come over to toast." β
"Yes, yes, I think so, too. Hou Jinqiang said with a smile, a hint of undisguised cunning flashed in his eyes.
There is a way that things gather like and people are grouped.
Zheng Wenjiang, Liu Ji, Hou Jinqiang, and Li Yanbiao are not at a high level of quality, and they are used to accompanying them in daily life. However, they have been mixed with Wen Shuo since high school all the year round, and they have already been unconsciously cultivated by Wen Shuo to be proud, neither humble nor arrogant, but also very self-aware, at least, they will not do the kind of thing that is meaningless to talk about friendship on the pole, but to disgust and despise people.
On occasions like today, if you toast in the past, it will not only be disgusted and despised, or embarrass and embarrass those guests, and perfunctory jokes with them, but also embarrass Wen Shuo as the host.
To put it mildly, if everyone follows Liu Maohe's suggestion and gets up to toast and talk, not only will they not give Wen Shuo a long face, but will disgrace Wen Shuo and drop his scores!
Take 10,000 steps back, if there is any harm and don't say it, it will definitely not be beneficial.
So why bother coming out?
Zheng Wenjiang, who has always been the most bold and arrogant, rarely rejected Liu Maohe's proposal, and then persuaded him carefully: "Village Chief Liu, those people are all from Tiannan and Haibei, some are officials, some are doing big business, and everyone's habits are different, unlike our Dongyun side, everyone walks on the table to toast at the banquet, people may not like it, why should we go to a hot face and stick a cold ass, it's not pleasing?" You see, they drink in small sips, and some drink red wine, which is not refreshing at all, where can we drink happily?"
"Yes, yes, I think let's drink it ourselves, come on, cheers for the opening ceremony of my nephew's big company!" Li Bin echoed in time.
Everyone at this table raised their glasses.
Liu Maohe felt very uncomfortable in his heart - in Dongyun, no matter what kind of banquet he attended, he proposed to go to the table to toast, and if no one agreed, he immediately got up and toasted, no matter who you are.
But on such an occasion today, although he was eager to try to toast, he had some timidity and inferiority complex that he couldn't understand at all, as Li Bin just said, he needed someone to go with each other to strengthen each other's courage.
In essence, Liu Maohe's proposal to toast in the past is a kind of vanity that stammers and climbs, although he knows that toasting a few glasses of wine and saying a few words will not play a role at all, and the other party will not remember who he is, but ...... A few words with these characters and two glasses of wine can make Village Chief Liu very satisfied.
It's a pity.
Village Chief Liu glanced at Zheng Wenjiang and scolded angrily: "These unproductive things, dog meat can't be served on the table!"
At this time, Wen Shuo, his face was slightly red, slightly damp and sweaty, like a person in good spirits on a happy event, and it seemed that the wine was slightly up, but he couldn't see the slightest nervousness, talking and laughing with the guests at the wine table, but he had a good grasp of the proportion of the younger generation, not nervous, but he would not really speak freely, and he played his wine table level to the peak.
Except for Jing Bai, who was sitting at the other table, no one could see that Wen Shuo's body and mind were in a tense state at the momentβhe had to resist with the occult method, and these came from the mixed and intertwined powerful aura pressure of the people present.
If he doesn't fight with the occult method and the qi, he will not be able to continue calmly, he will lose his speech, his mind will wander, he will be irritable, and he will be nervous......
Why is this happening?
Why is it okay for these people to sit next to each other?
Why, without applying the occult law, can't my aura reach a balance that is intertwined with these people's aura but does not intrude?
Jing Bai, who was sitting at the next table, smiled and sighed secretly: "Wen Shuo, this kid, why is he so stubborn, he has to use his own strength to be the natural enemy of heaven and earth? To put it simply, practicing the mystical law and doing it for selfish interests in worldly life is actually just playing a side game. β
Be self-aware.
Wen Shuo, why don't you know, since you are a Xuanshi, you must have the consciousness of being a Xuanshi, and you must ...... What about resignation?
When Jing Bai thought about sighing, Wen Shuo and Skullcap Zhi looked at each other across the table, and then Skullcap took the lead in getting up, walked over and politely thanked the guests, and then together with Wen Shuo, thanked the guests from table to table and said a few polite words. Just after leaving his seat, Wen Shuo immediately felt extremely clearly that the aura pressure from many people disappeared in an instant.
He immediately withdrew the qi that came out of his body and was controlled on the surface of his body, stopped his practice, and fully relaxed his body and mind.
The mood was also suddenly brightened.
So this guy immediately found out that he and Skullcap Zhi were smiling and toasting at the table to thank them...... It's a little bit like the bride and groom when they get married.
In the leisure time of a short distance from this table to another table, he handed a look of embarrassment, you know, towards Skullcap Zhi, who was extremely smart and already had a heart with Wen Shuo, well, it should be said that Skullcap Zhi, who knew Wen Shuo more and more, immediately guessed the little caution of this guy at this moment, and couldn't help but purse his lips and smile, and glanced at Wen Shuo.
Zheng Wenjiang, Liu Ji, Hou Jinqiang, and Li Yanbiao, who had been waiting for Wen Shuo to come, stood up with their wine glasses in their hands: "Brother Shuo, business is booming, and wealth is thriving!"
Liu Maohe, who was still a little angry before, hurriedly stood up, with a touch of panic and embarrassment on his face, and said with a shy smile: "What, congratulations, Mr. Wen's identity is not ordinary now, and he is prosperous, and he is ...... lucky."
If you are someone else, most of them will think that Liu Maohe is a little dissatisfied in this sentence.
But Wen Shuo didn't care, he knew that even if he borrowed Liu Mao and Careful Eyes, but he didn't dare to really hate God for this. Therefore, Wen Shuo patted Liu Maohe's shoulder: "Old Liu, thank you for making a special trip, I'm very happy." β
"It should be, it should be. Liu Maohe nodded hurriedly.
Wen Shuo's gaze had already fallen on the faces of several brothers, and said, "Brothers, don't say anything, come on!"
"Come on!"
Swish!
The four of them drank all the wine in their glasses.
Wen Shuo was stunned, and immediately started to dry the wine, and Liu Ji had already picked up the wine bottle and poured it full of wine for him.
"Uncle, I'm too busy today, I haven't been able to find time to talk to you for a while, I'll accompany you, come, I'll toast you." Wen Shuo raised his glass to Li Bin.
"Second sister, take a look, don't we need to say it?" Li Bin smiled: "My nephew is born with a delicate heart, and he is thoughtful, and he will never be negligent...... Come on, Shuo boy, let's have a toast!"
Li Bin took a sip of the wine in the cup, his face full of pride.
Li Qin smiled and groaned, with tears in her eyes.
Wen Shuo introduced each other to Skullcap Zhi and a few people present, and everyone naturally gave up with a few simple and polite words, but they couldn't, they really pulled Wen Shuo to sit down, and accompanied them to come out cup after cup without getting drunk.
"Auntie, this Mr. Huang ......" Zheng Wenjiang asked in a low voice, "Is it my sister-in-law?"
Li Yanbiao, Liu Ji, Hou Jinqiang, and Liu Maohe all showed curious and hopeful expressions, quietly waiting for Li Qin's answer.
"What sister-in-law is not a sister-in-law, and she is not married. Li Qin smiled and rebuked ambiguously.
Several people immediately realized, and they laughed and raised their wine glasses.
It's worthy of Brother Shuo!
When I wrote a letter to a girl in Dongyun No. 1 Middle School, it was purely for fun with everyone, and my confession was rejected several times, and he never failed, and Brother Shuo has never been depressed because of rejection. Now that I think about it, Brother Shuo was just joking at the beginning, he didn't really want to get a partner at all, and he didn't have the time, so he was reluctant to spend that money.
If Brother Shuo really wants to pursue any girl, it must be handy......
After all, a girl like Skullcap Zhi, who is so good that there are almost no flaws, and her family background is so good that she has no bounds, has been won by Brother Shuo.
