Listening to Director Wang's words, feeling the gaze of everyone, Zheng Wenbo's eyes showed a hint of annoyance. He hated Wang Yanchao to the extreme, but he still had to force a smile on his face.
Zheng Wenbo knew that he couldn't avoid this round of drinking today. Even if he had the hospital director backing him up, he couldn't afford to offend all his colleagues in the department. He had to go all out!
After all, he couldn't believe that Dr. Ye could finish all the drinks. How could he, Zheng Wenbo, lose to Dr. Ye in drinking?
Perfect, this was an opportunity for him to show off his drinking capacity and let his colleagues in the department see his charm. He couldn't let that kid named Ye steal the limelight!
As he spoke, Zheng Wenbo raised his glass and walked towards Huang Maoqing. "Director Huang, I toast to you!"
Although Huang Maoqing harbored strong dislike towards Zheng Wenbo, he was ultimately a kind person. Seeing Zheng Wenbo coming to toast, he raised his glass and clinked it with him, then drank the contents.
Seeing Huang Maoqing finish the drink, Zheng Wenbo's expression relaxed slightly, and he prepared to move on to the next person.
But at this moment, a cold snort rang out.
"Hmph, you haven't toasted me yet! What, am I not worth a toast from you, Zheng Wenbo?"
Director Wang Yanchao stared at Zheng Wenbo with a hint of coldness in his eyes, not mincing his words.
This kid actually wanted to play tricks in front of him, Wang Yanchao? Did he think he could get away with skipping a drink? Not a chance!
He had to drink just like Ye Xiu did earlier!
Even if it made him nauseous to be associated with Wang Yanchao, he wouldn't let this opportunity slip by without making Zheng Wenbo pay!
"How could that be! Here, Director Wang, I toast to you!"
Initially, Zheng Wenbo did plan to try and skip this opportunity, pretending not to know Wang Yanchao, and sneaking past him. After all, Wang Yanchao probably didn't want to drink with him anyway, and he had already toasted him earlier. This way, he could save a drink.
But he didn't expect Wang Yanchao to call him out and insist on toasting with him. He had to stop in his tracks, return to Wang Yanchao, and raise his glass.
This Wang was determined to make trouble for him, Zheng Wenbo! He was determined to make Zheng Wenbo's life difficult. But one day, Zheng Wenbo would definitely pay him back!
After downing the drink toasted to Wang Yanchao, Zheng Wenbo felt the burning sensation in his throat, mixed with bitterness and hatred in his heart.
"Dr. Zheng, as a junior, I wouldn't dare to let you toast me!"
After drinking the toast from Wang Yanchao, Zheng Wenbo just lifted his head, not yet sure where to go next, when Ye Xiu smiled and spoke up.
Although Zheng Wenbo hadn't planned to toast Ye Xiu, Ye Xiu also knew that with Zheng Wenbo's personality, he probably wouldn't toast him. So he didn't bother to argue with him and simply generously declined. After all, with so much alcohol around, missing one or two toasts didn't matter.
Hmm, this Ye kid is quite self-aware!
Although Zheng Wenbo hadn't thought of toasting Ye Xiu in the first place, hearing Ye Xiu's words still brought some relief. But when he saw the admiring gazes of the people around Ye Xiu, he felt a pang of discomfort, as if he had swallowed a fly.
This damn Ye, so cunning! He took advantage of this opportunity to show off in front of their colleagues!
Who the hell wants to toast him anyway! He's so sneaky and crafty!
But despite his displeasure, Zheng Wenbo had no choice. Ye Xiu's words were straightforward, and there was nothing he could say. If he said he hadn't planned to toast Ye Xiu anyway, it would only backfire and make Ye Xiu look even better. So, no matter how unhappy he was, he had to swallow his pride and keep it to himself.
Damn Ye, one day I'll teach you a lesson!
With a muttered curse in his heart, Zheng Wenbo continued to walk down with his glass.
Zheng Wenbo's alcohol tolerance was actually quite good. In the blink of an eye, he had already toasted more than half of the people, and his face only showed a slight blush. His mind and speech were still clear, without any signs of drunkenness.
While toasting, Zheng Wenbo didn't say as many humble words as Ye Xiu did, but he did put aside his usual arrogance and behaved with a smile in front of everyone.
Zheng Wenbo wasn't stupid. He knew that since he couldn't avoid it, he had to toast them all. He just had to do it a little better, not to waste effort for nothing. The most important thing was that when Ye Xiu was drinking, he always had a smile on his face, which won the admiration of everyone. Zheng Wenbo didn't want Ye Xiu to steal all the limelight.
And surprisingly, Zheng Wenbo's approach had worked quite well.
After this round of toasting, the doctors' perception of Zheng Wenbo had improved significantly, and they didn't dislike him as much as before.
Hmm, see how much tolerance I have!
After toasting the second table, Zheng Wenbo glanced at Ye Xiu and Wang Yanchao not far away, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes. Did they think they could force me to drink? Zheng Wenbo had been in the drinking scene since he was a teenager, earning the title of Wine God among his friends!
Seeing Zheng Wenbo, Ye Xiu also showed a slight surprise in his eyes. He hadn't expected Zheng Wenbo to have such a tolerance for alcohol. Although Zheng Wenbo was a bit sneaky and always spilled a few drops of alcohol when drinking, overall, his capacity was not something an ordinary person could handle.
Apart from the old man, Zheng Wenbo could be considered the best drinker he had encountered over the years.
It seemed that Zheng Wenbo had come prepared long ago!
Hmm, such a narrow-minded and cunning person. If I don't give him a lesson, he might actually think I'm easy to bully!
A hint of coldness flashed in Ye Xiu's eyes as he watched Zheng Wenbo. Zheng Wenbo's demonstrated alcohol tolerance further proved his deep scheming nature, reinforcing Ye Xiu's determination to teach him a lesson.
