After thinking clearly about that plan, Lu Xin felt much more at ease and focused his attention on Xue Dong, the electrician who harbored ill will towards him. "Bastard, you want to get me drunk and make me look foolish? Dream on! Let's see who gets drunk and who makes a fool of whom!"
After Lu Xin toasted Du Haibo, he also toasted Zhang Feng, Xu Yong, and three other masters.
Seeing that Lu Xin had already had three glasses of wine with Xue Dong and one with Du Haibo, Zhang Feng was worried that Lu Xin might get drunk and suggested that he just take a sip.
However, Lu Xin shook his head and smiled faintly, "I'm in great shape today, two catties is no problem! Master, I must finish this glass, thank you for your usual care and guidance!" He finished the glass in one gulp, and it didn't seem like he was drinking baijiu, but rather beer.
Then Lu Xin and Xu Yong, along with the other three, also finished their glasses. By this point, he had already drunk 1.8 catties of wine, but his face didn't change and his heart didn't race. He went to the restroom to relieve himself and then focused on Xue Dong.
Seeing that Lu Xin was in such good form today, Xue Dong was a bit panicked and tried to avoid the challenge, "I'm not in good shape today, I'll get drunk if I drink more, and my wife will scold me when I get home!"
Seeing Xue Dong backing down, Lu Xin gave him a contemptuous glance and laughed coldly, "Master Xue, I used to think you were a man who could eat and drink heartily, but now I see you're just a woman, whining and complaining after a few glasses of wine. Truly disappointing!"
Du Haibo could tell that Lu Xin was in great form today and also disliked Xue Dong's usual arrogance and current cowardice, so he laughed loudly, "Master Xue, what's there to be afraid of getting drunk? You can sleep at my place!"
The other masters also urged him on, and Xue Dong, realizing that he would be despised if he refused to drink, had no choice but to tough it out and drink with Lu Xin.
This time, Lu Xin displayed a rare level of tact. Although he despised Xue Dong, his words sounded very flattering, such as "Your electrical skills are amazing!" "You're a real man, able to bend and stretch!" "A man who can admit and correct his mistakes!" "A broad-minded man!" These words were said insincerely, with the sole purpose of getting Xue Dong drunk.
Xue Dong, unaware that Lu Xin was deliberately toasting him, was flattered and drank glass after glass with Lu Xin.
Each glass was a tall beer glass, holding 2 liang of wine. Five glasses were 1 catty. After five glasses, Lu Xin felt nothing, and Xue Dong was still in good form. After ten glasses, Lu Xin still looked like he hadn't drunk much, but Xue Dong felt he was starting to lose it and might pass out if he drank more, so he refused to drink.
Lu Xin and the other masters mocked and provoked him, and Xue Dong, being the kind of person who acts rashly without thinking, drank again.
After two more glasses, Xue Dong entered a pre-drunk state, a numbing state. In this state, the originally spicy wine tasted particularly good, and he couldn't stop drinking. Without anyone urging him, he would pour himself more and drink more, getting increasingly high. In this state, it wasn't far from being completely drunk.
If Lu Xin got drunk, he would be very quiet, sleeping quietly or singing at most, without causing a scene. But Xue Dong was the type who would always cause a scene when drunk.
This time, Xue Dong was made to drink nearly 3 catties of wine by Lu Xin. When the alcohol took effect, Xue Dong fell into a frenzied state and started causing a scene.
He spewed curses, first at the top leaders of Sanjiang Group, then at the middle-level leaders, and then at the leaders of the Special Alloy Materials Factory. He found fault with everyone, and at first, everyone found it amusing and didn't stop him, letting him curse away. But when Xue Dong pointed at Du Haibo and said, "Du Haibo, you fatso, as fat and ugly as Du Haitao, and just as stupid. You're a complete wimp, can't even control your wife, that dead woman gives me a hard time. Maybe you don't satisfy her at night, if you can't do it, let me do it, I'll make her submit completely..."
Du Haibo's face turned ashen, and he swung his thick arm, slapping Xue Dong to the ground.
Xue Dong fell with a thud and didn't get up for a long time.
Du Haibo thought he had knocked Xue Dong out and went to help him up, but heard him snoring loudly. It turned out that Xue Dong had fallen asleep on the ground.
Du Haibo, both amused and exasperated, had two masters carry Xue Dong to the roadside, hailed a taxi, and gave the driver Xue Dong's address.
Watching the taxi drive away, Du Haibo chuckled, "Xue Dong's wife is a shrew, she hates it when he gets drunk and causes a scene. Hmph, when she sees him like this, she'll give him a good beating!"
Lu Xin chuckled, said nothing, and went to the restroom to relieve himself again. While relieving himself, he uploaded the recording from his phone to the internal forum of Sanjiang Group.
It turned out that when Xue Dong started cursing the group leaders, Lu Xin had the foresight to start recording. Such a brilliant national curse couldn't be kept from the people of Sanjiang, so he uploaded it to the forum with the title "Great Electrician Denounces Group Leaders."
Although the forum administrator quickly deleted the post, many people from Sanjiang had already downloaded the recording and shared it via WeChat. Within a few hours, Xue Dong the electrician became a celebrity in Sanjiang Group.
Lu Xin thought that the group would definitely take serious action against Xue Dong, possibly even firing him. However, to his surprise, the group headquarters didn't issue any news about Xue Dong's punishment from Sunday to Monday and Tuesday. Instead, this gave Xue Dong time and opportunity to retaliate against Lu Xin, but that's another story. Let's talk about what happened on Sunday afternoon.
Lu Xin came out of the restroom and had a few more glasses of wine with the masters. Seeing that they were all quite drunk, Lu Xin pretended to be unable to handle his alcohol and leaned on the table.
Du Haibo looked at Lu Xin in surprise and said to Zhang Feng, Xu Yong, and the others, "This kid is in such great shape today, he must have had over twenty glasses, about 5 catties of wine. If it weren't for Xue Dong getting drunk, I would have thought we were drinking water instead of Jiangzhou Daqu today."
Xu Yong chuckled, "Director Du, Lu Xin's drinking ability is a real talent. In the future, when your leaders and important clients have meals, you can have Lu Xin help you with the drinking!"
In state-owned enterprises and government agencies, being able to drink is indeed a skill. Someone like Lu Xin, who can drink a lot and is good at flattering and toasting insincerely, is a top talent. As long as his technical skills are strong and he solidifies his background, his career will be even brighter.
(Recently, the arrest of several top executives of large state-owned groups has touched Old Chang. He is a bit skeptical that even if Lu Xin firmly climbs to the top position of this large state-owned enterprise, he might still be removed or even imprisoned due to various issues. But Old Chang thought, Lu Xin is just a small mechanic now, still a long way from the CEO's position. It's too early to worry about that. If there are problems in the future, he can always go abroad to make money, right? Yes, let's continue to support Lu Xin! Please give him your valuable recommendation votes!)
