Chapter 344: The Youth's Trick

The lobby outside the private room was still noisy.

The private room was already unusually quiet.

"Mr. Chen" stood in front of the table, holding a bottle of wine and confronting Lin Wanzhou's father.

His words of drinking the whole bottle made the atmosphere in the room tense.

"Hahaha, what are you doing?"

Lin Qingyuan's business friend stood up and tried to smooth things over. "Mr. Chen, please stop joking and scaring Old Lin. The child is still here. Old Lin and I will accompany you for a drink some other day. Is that okay with you?"

"Mr. Chen" shook his head without giving any face.

"Lao Lin, I heard that you can drink with other people, why can't you drink with me?"

Lin Wanzhou was already very angry at this time, like a cat with its fur standing on end. She wanted to say something but was stopped by Xu Cheng behind her.

"Hush."

"???"

Under her puzzled gaze, Xu Cheng moved forward from the crowd, stood in front of her, and quietly pulled her little hand.

"Don't worry, I'm here."

“Hmm…”

Lin Wanzhou glanced at his tall and broad back and said nothing more, but just held his big hand tightly with her small hand and did not let go.

This is a very blatant behavior.

After all, everyone around her was an acquaintance. Not to mention others, at least her parents were there.

And in front of these people, she held his hand so wantonly.

But in fact no one noticed this. At this moment, everyone's attention was almost all focused on Lin Qingyuan.

Anyone can see that Mr. Chen wants to embarrass Lin Qingyuan today.

As for Lin Qingyuan.

If he was fourteen years old this year, he might have already slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Mr. Chen's nose and scolding him. If he was twenty-four years old, he could also do so. Unfortunately, he is already forty-two years old this year, so he can only smile politely at Mr. Chen.

"Mr. Chen... this ... how can I drink a whole bottle? Such good wine, let's not waste it. How about I drink three glasses?"

"Mr. Chen" just chuckled.

"Don't waste it. If you drink it, nothing will happen to you today. But if you don't drink it today, I will regard it as a lack of respect for me and an order to expel me."

Although Gao Manman didn't know the identity of Mr. Chen, seeing her husband being so cautious, she realized that he must be a very important figure in the business and there was no way she could offend him.

She still maintained her smiling look.

"Mr. Chen, how about this? Lao Lin and I will toast you three glasses together, and let's just let this matter pass today, okay?"

When facing Gao Manman, Mr. Chen was still very polite, and even seemed a little afraid of her.

He immediately changed his expression to a polite one.

"Sister-in-law, please don't drink. Don't worry about what happened today. This is a matter between me and Mr. Lin. If he doesn't give me face, no one can do anything about it."

His tone did not arouse any suspicion. After all, Gao Manman was a woman with her own aura, and it seemed that anyone who spoke to her would instinctively sound a little dignified.

"Mr. Lin, now that my sister-in-law has spoken, we shouldn't let women get in the way of our men's affairs. Do you think you're going to drink or not?" Mr. Chen walked around the private room and slapped the wine in front of Lin Qingyuan.

His tone made it clear that he was targeting Lin Qingyuan.

This made Gao Manman unable to bear it any longer, and her voice became cold.

“You are…”

She was about to speak, but Lin Qingyuan stopped her in time and gave her a look telling her not to say anything more.

Since her husband said this, Gao Manman stopped talking, otherwise it would seem like she was slapping her husband in the face.

Lin Qingyuan just stood over and stared at Mr. Chen for a few seconds.

"How have I offended Mr. Chen?"

Mr. Chen just smiled easily.

He thought to himself, no offense was committed.

In fact, Mr. Chen is not a Hong Kong businessman. He is Zheng Zhihao who just jumped from Penguin to Qingzhou.

Because he was from another place, had a unique accent and didn't have many acquaintances in Jinghai, Xu Cheng asked him to pretend to be Mr. Chen and deliberately get close to Lin Qingyuan.

As for this big drama, we can only say that Xu Cheng had good intentions.

Lin Qingyuan will have to take a seat in the future logistics company, as he will need to handle many things in the company. He doesn't want his father-in-law to still rely on alcohol for everything at that time.

If he continues to drink like he did the last time, he will end up in the ICU sooner or later.

To deal with his stubborn bad habit, Xu Cheng had no choice but to make up a scene in which he played the villain.

Teach him an unforgettable lesson, so that he will no longer feel sick and uneasy whenever he thinks of alcohol.

Inside the private room, Mr. Chen smiled and patted Lin Qingyuan on the shoulder.

"Boss Lin, what are you talking about? Today we can just have some fun for the four families."

His performance of the arrogant and domineering Hong Kong businessman was quite realistic.

Xu Cheng could feel that Lin Wanzhou's grip on his hand was gradually getting stronger, as if he was extremely angry.

He had no choice but to touch the back of the girl's hand twice to comfort her.

On the other hand, Lin Qingyuan still couldn't figure it out.

"Are you dissatisfied that the shares I sold are too few? If that's the case, Mr. Chen, you can speak frankly."

Mr. Chen was still smiling.

"It's not that complicated. We in Hong Kong City all play like this. Mr. Lin, don't be too nervous."

As he said this, he handed the wine to Lin Qingyuan again.

Lin Qingyuan looked at the wine bottle in his hand, as if he was on the verge of a arrow being drawn onto a bow. He was extremely angry and felt that the veins on his forehead were throbbing violently.

At this time, his voice no longer sounded polite, but more like questioning the guy in front of him.

"Mr. Chen, if I drink, today's incident will just be over, right?"

"Yes, just drink it and it will pass."

"OK."

Lin Qingyuan became furious and slowly twisted the bottle.

"Old Lin!"

"You're crazy, Old Lin!"

"Old Lin, are you going to die?"

There was a sudden burst of dissuasion in the private room, and Gao Manman also nervously tried to stop him.

Xu Jianghe, who had been silent for a long time, could no longer sit still.

In this room, he was one of the few people who knew Xu Cheng's plan.

After he learned about Xu Cheng's bold plan, he already had the urge to beat this guy to death.

Today he can use this trick on his future father-in-law, who knows if he will do something weird to his biological father one day.

Or rather, he had already moved.

However, due to the good intentions of this kid and unable to bear his humming in his ear, he was forced to be an extra in his favor today.

"Lao Lin, you are too old to make trouble. Mr. Chen, please give me, Xu, a favor today..."

Mr. Chen smiled apologetically.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Xu. I said I won't give face to anyone today."

Although it didn't work, Lin Qingyuan on the side was also moved that Xu Jianghe stood up and helped speak at this time.

His son is eyeing his daughter covetously, but Old Xu is indeed a person worth making friends with. A friend who is willing to help in times of difficulty is a true friend.

In fact, it would be nice if I could become a relative with Old Xu in the future...

The thought flashed through my mind.

But now, Lin Qingyuan is already in an impulsive state full of anger.

He stopped everyone.

"Why waste time talking to him? I'll just drink it."

He raised the bottle.

At this moment, a tall young figure suddenly rushed out from the crowd and snatched the wine from Lin Qingyuan's hand.

"Uncle Lin, you can't drink!"

This is of course Xu Cheng.

When Lin Wanzhou was most nervous, he stood up in time.

Lin Qingyuan looked at him in confusion.

"Xu Cheng? Don't make trouble."

"I'm not trying to cause trouble. If you drink this whole bottle, Uncle Xu, you will definitely get into trouble today!"

Seeing that he genuinely cared about him, Lin Qingyuan's expression was moved.

Gao Manman was also somewhat moved watching from the side.

After all, this is their family matter, but Xu Cheng, an outsider, is willing to stand up at this time.

Of course, the few people who knew the truth kept silent.

Zheng Zhihao, who played "Mr. Chen", said secretly: I originally thought that my acting skills were unmatched in the world, but I didn't expect that there are people who are more powerful than me.

Xu Jianghe's mouth was also twitching, and he cursed in his heart several times, saying that this kid was not a human being.

Lin Qingyuan stretched out his left hand towards Xu Cheng.

"Xu Cheng, return the wine to Uncle Lin and stop messing around."

"I won't give it to you. I absolutely can't give it to you!"

Xu Cheng was strong and held the wine bottle as if it were his basketball. For a moment, Lin Qingyuan had no way to snatch it back.

He could only watch him standing in front of him and questioning "Mr. Chen".

"Mr. Chen, everything will be fine as long as we finish this bottle of wine today, right?"

"Mr. Chen" was stunned for a moment at the right moment.

"Yes, you'll be fine after drinking it."

"Then I'll drink for Uncle Lin!"

The boy unscrewed the bottle cap without any hesitation, pinched his nose with one hand, and gulped the wine down.

Everyone at the table was dumbfounded.

It took me several seconds to react.

Several people who were nearby rushed to stop this silly boy who suddenly made a fool of himself and drank for Lin Qingyuan.

However, he was strong and tall, and for a moment no one could take the bottle from him.

By the time he snatched it from him, Xu Cheng had already drunk the last drop in the bottle.

He smashed the bottle on the ground with a dazed look in his eyes, said "I've finished it", and then staggered to the side.

"Xu Cheng!"

Lin Qingyuan hurriedly supported the stupid boy who had drunk himself, and shouted at the stunned people around him.

"Call 120, call 120!"

There was commotion in the private room.

Seeing that the mission was accomplished, "Mr. Chen" Zheng Zhihao took a last look at the still unconscious young boss, muttering to himself that it was no wonder he had never defeated him before, and then quietly left the hotel amid the chaos.

This is when Xu Jianghe's role comes into play.

He fully demonstrated what it means to remain calm in the face of danger. As Xu Cheng's father, he took Xu Cheng from Lin Qingyuan without showing any sadness or anger.

"It's too late to call 120. I can just drive my son to the hospital."

Seeing that the child's father had stood up, everyone had nothing to say and helped Xu Jianghe carry the boy out of the private room.

The commotion here also attracted the attention of many people in the hall. Seeing that someone was being helped out, they thought someone had drunk too much and passed out.

On the other hand, when He Ying learned that her son was drunk, she also showed the superb psychological quality of a mother.

He didn't shed a single tear, and even wiped the grease off his mouth very decently before following the crowd out.

A group of people crowded around and escorted Xu Cheng into the car.

Lin Qingyuan also wanted to get on the car and go to the hospital together, but was stopped by Xu Jianghe.

"Hey, hey, hey, Lao Lin, don't go."

"I, I won't feel at ease if I don't go and take a look, Old Xu."

"It's all right."

Xu Jianghe patted his shoulder and said, "There are so many guests here and so many things for you to deal with. The two of us can just take Xu Cheng to the hospital."

"That's fine."

At this time, Lin Qingyuan felt that he had no face to talk to Xu Jianghe anymore.

"Old Xu, what happened today, ah..."

"It's not your fault, Lao Lin. Don't take it too seriously. Anyway... Anyway, this kid should be himself... Come on, let's go now."

"Okay, go ahead."

After saying goodbye, the Xu family's car slowly drove out of the parking lot.

Inside the parking lot, a bunch of people just watched the car go away.

"Old Xu is the same. He doesn't drive faster at this time."

"What do you know? The more anxious you are, the more mistakes you will make. What if something happens on the way? Do you think Chief Engineer Xu wouldn't be anxious if his son got into trouble? I can tell from your perspective that you are not at his level at all."

"I really admire the couple for their calmness and composure."

"Yes, yes, if it were our husband, he would be crying to death by now."

Lin Qingyuan suddenly received a call at this time.

"Mr. Lin...Mr. Chen just said that he felt the investment was inappropriate and canceled it..."

"What did you say?"

“It’s just that this investment is gone.”

"When did it happen?"

"Just now."

The phone slid from his hand to the ground and Lin Qingyuan stood there in a daze.

And amid the noisy discussions, no one noticed.

A girl rubbed her eyes and ran in the direction the car drove away.

…

Xu Jianghe's car didn't drive far before it stopped on the side of the road.

"Hello."

"The one who drank too much."

"You bastard!"

"Look at you, you let your parents play with you. If this matter gets out, how are we going to face your Uncle Xu in the future?"

"Dad, what are you yelling about? Why am I a bastard?" Amid Xu Jianghe's angry scolding, Xu Cheng rubbed his head and slowly sat up from the back seat.

"You are scolding yourself. Besides, what if someone spots you driving here? Since you have already done it, why not make it less likely to be discovered? Just drive to the hospital."

"Still going to the hospital?"

He Ying looked helpless, "Only because you did well in the college entrance examination would I agree to play with you this time. I couldn't say a word just now. I was so embarrassed."

"Love you, Mom."

Xu Cheng ran over and hugged He Ying's neck and acted coquettishly, which made the middle-aged He Ying feel shy and happy.

"Alright, alright, when did this kid become so clingy?"

Xu Jianghe couldn't stand it.

"Your mother and I are too embarrassed to be together. We are going home to take a nap. Do you want to come home?"

"I'm not going back. I have something to do at the company. Uncle Lin will definitely ask you two about my situation later. You two must not reveal anything."

When Xu Jianghe heard this, he got angry again and said something impatiently.

"Got it. If you're not going home, get out of the car right now. I'm annoyed just seeing you now."

"At least send me to the company."

"It's not on the way, take a taxi yourself."

As his father drove him away, Xu Cheng rubbed his head helplessly, pushed open the car door and got out.

Standing on the side of the road, watching the cars going away, I sighed.

"Really? How can you be a father like this?"

He was muttering when a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"...Xu Cheng?"

The voice was hesitant, shocked, and full of disbelief.

Xu Cheng turned around and looked at Lin Wanzhou behind him.

The girl's chest was still heaving violently as she ran.
