Chapter 13.1

Because of Qian Heng’s arrival, the warm atmosphere earlier had dropped below freezing point in an instant.

Bao Rui nervously tried to relight the atmosphere: “Partner Qian, you have never participated in our activities. What kind of wind brought you here today?”

Qian Heng snorted coldly: “The water pipe at home is broken. I’m out looking for a pipe repairer.”

“…”

Although Cheng Yao was very speechless. Bao Rui, who didn’t know the meaning of Qian Heng’s words, gave a dogleg1 explanation to please the boss, “Oh, so it’s like this. The water pipe was broken and he needed it to be repaired. When Partner Qian was going out, he thought of his subordinates and came to the party despite his busy schedule. Come, we will give a toast to you!”

It was a pity that Qian Heng never gave people any face, “I don’t drink, I have to drive.”

Li Chengxuan, who had just come back to life from the shock said enthusiastically, “You can just look for a driver!2 Come, it’s rare to have a drink with you!”

“My car is very expensive.”

Li Chengxuan didn’t understand: “So?”

Qian Heng pursed his lips: “I’m afraid that the driver will see the car and plot against me for wealth.”

“…”

Qian Heng completely ignored himself and ruined the atmosphere for a second time. He took a sip of his tea, looked around and said. “Why is no one talking?”

“…” This friend, who would dare to speak with you?

“You people, this kind of atmosphere is suitable for work but how can a party be so quiet?” Qian Heng thought for a while. “Since this is a rare gathering today and you have all finished dinner already, shouldn’t there be a game to lighten up the atmosphere?”

“I heard Truth or Dare is popular?”

Sure enough, Qian Heng’s next words caught a few of the young colleagues’ attentions and their eyes lit up. They were about to respond to Qian Heng’s suggestion.

It was a pity… young people’s thinking was still too simple…

Qian Heng continued: “But I think Truth or Dare is a bit too outdated so let’s just play Dares instead of Truth or Dare.”

Tan Ying was very excited: “No problem Partner Qian!”

Li Minglei was also eager to try the game: “Dares are fun!”

“Since you are all looking forward to it, then it’s decided.” Qian Heng smiled slightly. “Let’s play Dare to Recite the Law.”

???

Qian Heng ignored everyones constipated and dazed expressions. He picked up an empty beer bottle on the table and continued: “We’ll start with me. I’ll turn this bottle and whoever the top of the bottle points to will answer the question and whoever the bottom of the bottle points to will ask the question. For example, if the bottom of the bottle landed on me, I’ll say, Article 32, Paragraph 2 of the “Marriage Law” and the person with the top of the bottle will answer. If the question is not answered within three minutes a fine of 50 RMB will be imposed. This 50 will be confiscated for the next time there is a company dinner.”

Qian Heng!! Are you the devil?! What kind of death game is this!!!

However, Qian Heng didn’t care about the painful expressions on everyone’s faces. He stretched out his beautiful hands and turned the beer bottle of death.

Cheng Yao anxiously said: “Wait!”

Qian Heng raised his eyebrows: “Huh?”

“Boss, this isn’t good, is it? Wouldn’t we just be gathering to gamble?”

Qian Heng snorted coldly: “The crime of gambling refers to the behavior of the people gathered to gamble or gambling for the purpose of profit. Subjectively, for us to commit that crime, this game must be played for profit. Are we playing for profit? Cheng Yao, did you learn the criminal law from your physical education teacher?”

“…”

“Let’s start, the bottle has stopped spinning.”

In the first round, the bottom of the bottle faced Tan Ying and the mouth of the bottle faced Bao Rui.

Tan Ying glanced at Bao Rui and tried to find a simple one: “Article 5 of the Marriage Law.”

Bao Rui was obviously relieved and he replied smoothly: “Marriage must be completely voluntary and neither party is allowed to force the other party or any third party to interfere.”

”

”

…

As such, round after round it went. Everyone held a mutual understanding of letting each other go easy but there were only so many simple and memorable clauses in the marriage law. Soon, after playing around a bit more, they could only start asking the hard to remember ones…

“Article 29 of the Marriage Law?”

“…” Zhang Yang took out his wallet with a pained heart.
