Zheng Hongfang checked the time, seeing that Zhang Chunjiang was about to wake up, she and Zhou Qing both returned to the dining table.
Zhou Qing had another shot of white liquor, then he too slumped over the table.
Pretending to be just like Zhang Chunjiang.
It wasn't ten minutes before Zhang Chunjiang gradually woke up. He massaged his somewhat groggy head and glanced at Zhou Qing and Zheng Hongfang beside him.
Seeing Zhou Qing also lying on the table asleep, he asked in a low voice, "What's going on? How did both County Chief Zhou and I fall asleep?"
"You're asking me? You two were drinking just now, talking fine, and then you just slumped over and fell asleep on the table."
"It looks like both of you really enjoyed your drinks!"
"I could only watch the two of you, worried that you might end up sleeping under the table."
Zheng Hongfang followed up with a few sentences, not in the best of moods.
