"Brother Qiang, how is it going? Has Lin Feng's family arrived?"
In a staff room on the second floor of the Tianyue Hotel, Zeng Yuhu asked Bald Qiang, a cigarette dangling from his lips.
"They're here. They ordered two bottles of Maotai and are drinking right now," Bald Qiang sneered. "Haha, that's good. Lin Feng is a good fighter. If he gets drunk, it'll save us a lot of trouble."
"Are the cameras in their private room installed?" Zeng Yuhu asked again.
"Of course. Otherwise, how would I know what's going on with them? Don't worry, Brother Hui has made arrangements from all angles. Lin Feng won't be able to escape," Bald Qiang said, lighting a cigarette and laughing ominously. "Haha, for Brother Hui to use so many connections just to deal with one person, Lin Feng can die knowing it was worth it."
「...」
"Son, when you're drinking with your father, why are you drinking so much? This stuff goes right to your head; you'll get drunk easily!"
In Private Room 202, Jiang Xiuyun's face paled slightly with concern as she watched Lin Feng down a glass of liquor in one gulp. After all, Lin Feng was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old teenager. Moreover, he hardly ever drank strong liquor before, so how high could his tolerance possibly be?
"Mom, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Lin Feng put down his glass and returned to his seat with a chuckle. At his side, Luo Yang hurriedly refilled his glass.
"You know? What do you know? You'd better not end up a drunkard like your father!" Jiang Xiuyun said, glaring at Lin Feng.
Lin Zhonghua chuckled. "Drinking is for fun. If Lin Feng is happy today, let him drink a little more. What's the big deal? If he gets drunk, he'll just go home with us. Besides, Little Luo is here to take care of him. You know Little Luo's capacity; he can outdrink three men."
Hearing Lin Zhonghua's words, Luo Yang immediately chimed in, "Auntie, don't worry, I'll take care of Lin Feng." With that, he respectfully picked up his glass and toasted Lin Zhonghua and Jiang Xiuyun in turn.
"Mom, let me toast you too. You've worked so hard. From now on, cut back on overtime and take better care of your health!"
Lin Feng sat down, took a few bites of food, then immediately stood up again to toast Jiang Xiuyun.
"Son, are you still drinking? I appreciate the toast, really, but just a sip is fine. Don't down the whole thing. Why does our family need to drink so much...?"
Jiang Xiuyun stood up with her glass, looking at Lin Feng with a hint of exasperation. "Son, you've really grown up, haha. When you go to university, work hard not only in your studies but also bring Mom a pretty daughter-in-law, understand? By the way, that girl at the hospital last time, the one who pretended to be your teacher? I thought she was quite nice..."
A shiver ran down Lin Feng's spine as Cao Ying's image flashed in his mind. Mom really seems to like Cao Ying, he thought. Marrying her wouldn't be a bad idea in the future.
Lin Feng didn't say anything. He simply smiled, clinked glasses with Jiang Xiuyun, and once again downed his drink in a single gulp.
"Oh, this boy!" Seeing Lin Feng drinking so hard, Jiang Xiuyun was at a loss for words.
"Xiuyun, just let him be," Lin Zhonghua, who was sitting at the head of the table, said while Lin Feng grinned happily. "He's eighteen and an adult now. He knows what he's doing. He's happy today, so let him drink a little."
If this had been in the past, Lin Zhonghua would never have said something like "let Lin Feng be." On the contrary, he would have disciplined Lin Feng very strictly, because back then, Lin Feng was far too rebellious and disobedient.
But now, Lin Feng seemed like a completely different person. Lin Zhonghua had thoroughly changed his opinion of his son and, in his heart, now saw him as an adult. Therefore, he wouldn't try to stop Lin Feng's decisions.
"Sigh, looks like our family is going to have two drunkards soon... You two might as well go open a distillery..." Hearing Lin Zhonghua's words, Jiang Xiuyun glanced helplessly at him, then sat back in her seat without saying anything more.
"Lin Feng, congratulations on your astounding results in the college entrance exams! Haha, the commander was ecstatic. Congratulations, congratulations!"
As Lin Feng drained his glass, Luo Yang stood up, refilled it for him, and then raised his own glass to toast him.
"Little Luo, you're really... egging him on!" Jiang Xiuyun exclaimed, seeing Luo Yang toast Lin Feng again without giving him a moment's rest. She was at a loss for words.
Luo Yang chuckled and glanced at Lin Zhonghua. Seeing him nod, clearly not intending to intervene, Luo Yang said, "Auntie, don't worry. Lin Feng's tolerance seems quite good. Haha, anyway, he'll have to learn to hold his liquor sooner or later. He can practice on me today."
"He practices on you? It's more like you're practicing on him," Jiang Xiuyun retorted, pursing her lips.
"Haha, we'll know when to stop," Luo Yang smiled again.
Lin Zhonghua thought for a moment and then said, "Letting Little Luo help Lin Feng build his tolerance isn't a bad idea. Little Luo knows his limits."
Hearing Lin Zhonghua's words, Luo Yang felt even more confident. He also loved to drink and had an impressively high tolerance. Even Lin Zhonghua, a seasoned veteran of drinking bouts, admitted he was no match for Luo Yang.
What I just said about Lin Feng's tolerance seeming pretty good was just a polite remark, Luo Yang thought. Even Lin Zhonghua can't outdrink me. How could this naive kid, Lin Feng, possibly be my match?
"Lin Feng, it's a happy occasion today. I'll have a few more drinks with you, alright?" Luo Yang said, holding out his glass to Lin Feng.
"Mm," Lin Feng nodded.
"If you can't drink anymore, just tell me, okay?" Luo Yang smiled, then turned to Jiang Xiuyun. "We're just drinking for fun and to build up your tolerance a bit. Make sure you don't get too drunk. Auntie, I'm afraid you'll have to drive later, haha."
Jiang Xiuyun nodded helplessly. "Okay, but you two, drink less."
Under the watchful eyes of the two elders, Luo Yang and Lin Feng clinked glasses and downed their drinks in one gulp.
"Brother Luoyang, thank you for all your help to our family over the years. Let me toast you too."
As soon as they finished, Lin Feng immediately refilled both their glasses, then smiled at Luo Yang.
His words stunned the other three in the private room!
Lin Feng was actually looking for more drinks? Was his tolerance really that good, or was he already drunk?
"Son, you're not drunk, are you?" Jiang Xiuyun asked, touching Lin Feng's forehead.
"I'm fine! Brother Luoyang, bottoms up!"
With that, Lin Feng and Luo Yang downed another glass.
Knowing he can't outdrink Luo Yang, yet he still dares to take the initiative! This kid has the same fearless spirit I had when I was young—like a newborn calf unafraid of a tiger. He's got guts! Lin Zhonghua thought, watching with great appreciation for Lin Feng's actions.
"Haven't seen you in a while, and your tolerance has really improved!" Luo Yang's face was slightly flushed after several glasses, and he gave Lin Feng a thumbs-up.
"Waiter, three more bottles of Maotai!" Lin Feng bellowed at the waiter.
Heh, drinking? he thought, laughing inwardly. Back when I was in the special forces, I could outdrink an entire company by myself. Luo Yang wants to use me for practice? Alright, let's see who's practicing on whom!
