Chapter 1459: Make me drunk?

The evening arrived.

It was past eight o'clock.

In the hotel elevator, Dong Xuebing, Chang Juan, Chen Yunsong, and Gong Na were heading upstairs to attend the small banquet organized by the City Investment Promotion Bureau. There were only a few people in the elevator.

Fourth floor

Fifth floor

Sixth floor

Chang Juan asked, "I heard you had a dispute with Director Lu?"

Chen Yunsong and Gong Na had heard about it, too, and they both looked at Dong Xuebing.

Dong Xuebing shook his head. "What dispute? We just had a small disagreement."

Chen Yunsong said, "The city wants us to hand over the foreign businessmen, which is too much. Why should we?"

Dong Xuebing said, "Regardless of how they mess around, our plan remains unchanged. Gather at 8 am tomorrow, and contact the cars in advance. If the city doesn't lend us any, we'll find a way to get them from Zhen Shui County. If there aren't enough cars, contact a leasing company. Then, I'll take the foreign businessmen back to Zhen Shui County. You guys continue to hold down the investment promotion event and try to expand our advantages as much as possible. The foreign businessmen's visit to Zhen Shui County this time has given us a lot of momentum. We can't miss this opportunity. I hope it will also attract some domestic small investors. As for the others, we don't need to worry about them."

Gong Na blinked. "But what if the city"

Dong Xuebing calmly said, "Cross the bridge when we come to it."

Chang Juan smiled, "Exactly. We'll stay the same amid the changes. Anyway, the foreign businessmen can't stay with them. We must go to our county first."

Dong Xuebing looked at them and said, "Let me mention one more thing in advance. The interests involved this time are significant. Similarly, there will be a lot of things happening below, and even some means that cannot be seen will be directed towards us. Everyone, be vigilant and be smart."

"Okay."

"We understand."

Ding! The elevator door opened.

Dong Xuebing clasped his hands in gratitude to the crowd, but he remained vigilant.

The applause stopped.

Lu Weiguo smiled and said, "The city specially approves this meal to reward everyone for their hard work over the past two days. It's already past working hours, and the investors have mostly rested. Therefore, there are no alcohol restrictions today. Feel free to drink, eat, and relax so we can better prepare for the investment promotion work tomorrow and next week. Well, let's start eating."

It was already this late, and many people were hungry. When Lu Weiguo's voice fell, everyone started eating. Some picked up food with chopsticks, while others poured wine.

The liquor was a local brand Dong Xuebing hadn't heard of.

Looking at the alcohol content, it was 52 degrees, considered high.

Suddenly, Lu Weiguo poured a full glass of wine and raised it towards Dong Xuebing's group. He said, "Come, County Mayor Dong, let's drink with our comrades from Zhen Shui County."

Dong Xuebing waved his hand. "Director Lu, our alcohol tolerance is not good."

Lu Weiguo smiled and said, "Who engaged in investment promotion work doesn't have good alcohol tolerance? I've raised my glass, and you haven't given face like this?"

Dong Xuebing said, "I usually don't drink. If it's possible, let's stop after one cup."

Lu Weiguo said nothing, raised his glass, and quickly drank all 150ml of wine.

Seeing this, Chen Yunsong had no choice but to drink a glass. Chang Juan and Gong Na didn't drink the entire glass; they just took a sip.

Now, only Dong Xuebing was left. Seeing everyone looking at him, Dong Xuebing had no choice. He poured a full glass of wine and slowly drank it. It took him half a minute to finish the 150 ml of wine.

Just after finishing, Chen Mingming raised his glass and stood up. " Mayor Dong, Zhen Shui County has made a name for itself this time. I'll have a drink with you. Haha."

Hmm

Dong Xuebing finally realized that something was wrong.

What's the meaning of this? Are they trying to get me drunk?

Dong Xuebing's mind was quick, instantly understood Lu Weiguo had sinister motives. If he got drunk, he probably wouldn't be able to get up early tomorrow morning. He might even end up in the hospital, and without him contacting Ms. Zhang, Lu Weiguo and the others would likely find opportunities to keep Ms. Zhang and the others in the city. By then, they could use some means to detain the foreign investors for a more extended period, and the time for inspecting Zhen Shui County would be uncertain.
