Chapter 113 The Role of Drinking Parties
At first, Li Qin addressed everyone by their titles, and everyone addressed Li Qin as "Little Li".
But now, when people address Li Qin, they always call him "younger brother" or "younger brother".
Li Qin also started addressing everyone as "brother" this and "brother" that.
At this moment, everyone looked at Li Qin with admiration.
Li Qin drank from beginning to end during the entire drinking session without taking a break.
The key point is that he single-handedly took down so many people present.
Of those present today, apart from Li Huaide, who has a slightly lower alcohol tolerance, the rest are all quite capable drinkers.
Wei Kai, the head of the security section, is a former soldier, so you can imagine his drinking capacity.
Liu Changqing, head of the purchasing department; Chu Guangming, group leader of purchasing department group 1; He Wei, group leader of purchasing department group 2; Wang Dawei, group leader of purchasing department group 3.
The purchasing department needs to deal with people, and drinking is inevitable. If you can't drink, how can you close purchasing orders?
Therefore, the purchasing department staff are all capable of drinking quite a lot.
Wu Guangfu, the head of the transportation section, and Chang Qingshan, the captain of the first team of the transportation section, are both drivers who drive large trucks all over the place year-round and are also heavy drinkers.
Finally, there's Zheng Wei, the cafeteria manager:
He was usually entertained by the steel mill, and although his alcohol tolerance wasn't as high as the others, it wasn't bad either.
In the end, they were all taken down by Li Qin, a young man, and they had no choice but to admit defeat.
Because Li Huaide was deliberately let off the hook by Li Qin, he is still relatively clear-headed.
At this moment, he looked at Li Qin as if he were looking at a treasure.
He never expected that the nephew he had casually adopted would turn out to be such a hidden gem.
He had already seen Li Qin's abilities; he was also good at handling things, had a silver tongue, and now possessed an enormous capacity for alcohol.
Li Huaide felt like he had struck gold.
He was in charge of logistics, and the most common thing he did was socialize.
Since ancient times, Chinese people have liked to discuss matters over drinks, but they can't just talk without doing anything.
What should we do then?
Of course, it's about drinking alcohol.
If you drink enough, you can reach an agreement on anything; if you don't drink enough, you're unlikely to reach an agreement.
He had had a similar experience before.
But after witnessing Li Qin's drinking capacity, Li Huaide was immediately relieved.
In the future, as long as Li Qin is brought along, all the clients and leaders will be well taken care of.
They might even send the other person directly under the table.
Just thinking about that scene made Li Huaide unable to suppress a smile.
Li Qin, however, calmly surveyed the crowd, a smug look flashing in his eyes.
With your small group, you think you can compete with me, who's got cheat codes, in drinking? Now you should know what real skill is.
Li Qin originally intended to continue urging these people to drink.
But now there was no more liquor left in the private room, so Li Qin had to stop.
Disappointment flashed across his face as he realized he hadn't managed to get all of them drunk and knock them to the ground.
Li Huaide, who had been paying attention to Li Qin, noticed this and a smile flashed in his eyes.
However, he still stepped forward;
"That's about it for tonight. We still have things to do later, so we can't let important matters get in the way."
As Li Huaide spoke, everyone looked up.
Li Huaide then continued:
"Once this matter is resolved satisfactorily, we'll still be here, and we'll have another round of drinks. Everyone can drink to their heart's content then."
Smiles immediately appeared on everyone's faces.
Then everyone began to leave the private room and the cafeteria one by one.
As for tables and other items, the kitchen staff will naturally take care of them.
Although this task may seem troublesome, everyone in the kitchen is willing to do it.
Because they can pack up the leftover food on the table and take it home.
Because of Li Qin's formidable drinking prowess, everyone at the dinner table tonight, except for himself, drank quite a bit, but ate very little food.
Therefore, quite a few remain.
There are also several main dishes among them;
For ordinary families, this is a rare treat that is hard to come by normally.
As they left the cafeteria, the group began to disperse.
They walked with unsteady, swaying steps, heading in different directions.
Although it's late, there's no need to worry about them.
Because there were security guards patrolling everywhere around.
In the end, only Li Qin and Li Huaide remained;
A gentle breeze made Li Huaide feel that his drunkenness had dissipated somewhat.
He first took out a pack of Zhonghua cigarettes from his pocket, lit one for himself and one for Li Qin, and then slowly said;
"Xiao Qin, come with me to the staff dormitory for a rest for a while. You can set off when it's time."
Li Qin nodded.
He then took a deep drag on his cigarette and immediately felt a completely different sensation compared to smoking Daqianmen cigarettes.
"As expected of Chinese cuisine, the taste is just so good."
The key point is that Zhonghua cigarettes have filters.
This suits his taste better.
Seeing Li Qin's blissful expression, Li Huaide didn't put away the remaining half-pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, but instead stuffed them directly into Li Qin's hands.
Li Qin didn't refuse and immediately smiled as he put the cigarette away.
Seeing his actions, Li Huaide smiled helplessly.
However, he was not dissatisfied at all; on the contrary, he was very happy.
The more casual Li Qin was, the closer she was to him.
As for the mere half-pack of Zhonghua cigarettes, Li Huaide didn't even consider them a threat.
"Xiao Qin, you did a great job today. After today's drinking session, it will be much easier and more convenient for you to work at the steel rolling mill in the future."
Li Huaide exhaled a smoke ring.
"I still want to thank Uncle Li for giving me this opportunity."
Li Qin understood this as well.
Or perhaps, he kept drinking with everyone in order to build closer relationships.
Those people were all from key departments.
And they were all leaders.
Now that we have this friendship, as long as he doesn't make any major mistakes at the steel mill, these people will give him face.
Upon hearing Li Qin's thanks, Li Huaide's face showed satisfaction.
He wasn't satisfied with Li Qin's gratitude, but rather with the fact that Li Qin had understood his plan.
If Li Huaide hadn't brought him to the dinner party, and hadn't established Li Qin's identity from the beginning, and then revealed that he was the one who had contacted them for the meat, it would have been a mistake.
These people wouldn't be so friendly to an ordinary employee.
Naturally, Li Qin was unable to establish connections with these people so easily.
For Li Qin, this was a favor.
Just then, a look of curiosity suddenly appeared on Li Huaide's face:
"Xiao Qin, can you tell me exactly how much baijiu (Chinese liquor) you can drink?"
He had just roughly calculated that Li Qin had drunk about eight or nine bottles of baijiu during this drinking session, but he was still not drunk at all.
Li Huaide was genuinely curious about Li Qin's alcohol tolerance.
Upon hearing his question, Li Qin smiled slightly, but instead of answering Li Huaide's question directly, he held up one finger.
Li Huaide was taken aback at first, then said uncertainly:
"Ten catties of baijiu?"
Li Qin's one finger definitely doesn't refer to a pound.
Just now at the dinner table, he saw Li Qin drink far more than a pound of baijiu.
So the first thing he thought of was ten jin (5 kg).
A look of surprise appeared on Li Huaide's face.
Ten pounds is quite a lot.
