While ordering dishes, upon seeing Shen Hongi walk in carrying several bottles of Maotai, he felt even more satisfied.
"Mr. Li."
"Tell Shen Boss this collaboration is finalized—her company gets the deal. Now, let’s focus on drinking."
"Once I’m happy enough from drinking, I’ll sign the contract."
Li Zhiyan translated Lucas’s words verbatim.
Shen Hongi felt utterly relieved!
It seed today she’d truly sealed the deal for the project.
And it was all thanks to having Li Zhiyan as her translator. Xiao Yan was way too talented.
She then gestured for the secretary nearby to go back to the company to draft the contract.
Seeing Li Zhiyan smoothly negotiate with Lucas through their chat,
Lai Feifei remarked, "Look at my Zaizai—so impressive."
"It’s thanks to my genetic inheritance that Zaizai is so smart."
"Hongi, are you trying to be my daughter-in-law? The way you’re looking at my Zaizai seems awfully suspicious."
Shen Hongi knew this crazy woman was tipsy again.
"You even make Zaizai warm your feet? Shaless."
"Warming my feet is his filial duty as a good son to his loving mother."
Unable to hold back, Shen Hongi pinched Lai Feifei’s waist.
"Stop acting drunk, you lunatic."
"Lucas is still here, you know."
Lai Feifei was totally unbothered.
"Look at him—Zaizai is clearly his favorite. To him, we’re just invisible air."
"Whatever we say really doesn’t matter."
Shen Hongi glanced over, and it was indeed true. Lucas was deeply engrossed in conversation with Li Zhiyan, not sparing the won a single glance.
"Besides, he doesn’t understand Chinese anyway."
"Whatever we say, he can’t understand us."
"Look at him—he’s like a happy fool."
Li Zhiyan: "..."
Aunt Lai is always this adorably quirky.
When their dishes arrived, Lucas couldn’t help but open the Maotai.
After Li Zhiyan poured Lucas a glass, Lucas enthusiastically said, "Mr. Li, you drink too—I’ll pour for you."
eting Li Zhiyan for the first ti, Lucas felt as if he’d found a kindred spirit.
After pouring a glass for Li Zhiyan, Lucas also poured one for Shen Hongi, Lai Feifei, and He Yanrong.
He rose from his seat to toast, prompting everyone else to do the sa, taking their first sip of baijiu.
For the rest of the ti, Lucas kept pouring drinks for Li Zhiyan.
Of course, he didn’t hold back on drinking himself. With each glass of baijiu downed, Li Zhiyan realized his body had truly transford.
The baijiu barely affected him—it was just a mild buzz.
With this kind of alcohol tolerance, he could easily rank as a drinking deity!
While Li Zhiyan could drink endlessly without issue, Shen Hongi started to show visible signs on her face.
The normally cold and aloof queen-like lady now had a flushed, rosy face, stirring a ticklish feeling in Li Zhiyan’s heart.
Especially considering so things that had happened with Shen Hongi before.
Li Zhiyan found himself unable to control his thoughts.
The last ti, it had been because Aunt Shen drank too much that those events unfolded.
As for the alcohol’s effect on Lai Feifei and He Yanrong, it wasn’t as pronounced.
He Yanrong had the strongest tolerance.
Lai Feifei was the sa hilarious "crazy woman" whether she drank little or a lot.
As long as she didn’t feel like sleeping, she always managed to retain so clear-headedness, ensuring she wouldn’t end up in any compromising situations!
However, the more Lai Feifei drank, the more outrageous her playful remarks beca.
Later, even Li Zhiyan found Lai Feifei’s comnts sowhat unseemly.
They kept drinking until past three in the afternoon.
Lucas seed to be nearing his limit. When their conversation turned to historical figures, his expression visibly lit up.
Striking while the iron was hot, Li Zhiyan said, "Mr. Lucas, why don’t we sign the contract now?"
"I genuinely need your help right now."
With the cheerful atmosphere and buzz from drinking, Lucas had no reason to refuse. He signed the contract with Shen Hongi right then and there.
He even pulled out his company stamp from his briefcase and affixed it to the docunt.
With everything wrapped up, Shen Hongi finally let out a deep sigh of relief.
Xiao Yan truly pulled off an impossible miracle!
At that mont, Shen Hongi felt utterly at a loss for how to thank Li Zhiyan. This kid had helped her out so much!
Although Li Zhiyan was already twenty, to these three Shanghai Aunts,
he still was, undeniably, a child.
With the contract successfully secured, Li Zhiyan continued chatting with Lucas about German history, both drinking and talking all the while.
By five in the afternoon, it was ti for Lucas to return to his company. His driver assisted him into his Audi.
Li Zhiyan and Shen Hongi clearly saw Lucas pass out in the car the mont he got in.
And then,
The system’s reward for completing the mission—[Second Supermarket]—arrived!
Becoming the owner of his second store, Li Zhiyan felt imnse satisfaction swell in his heart!
"Xiao Yan, are you okay? You drank so much,"
Shen Hongi asked with concern.
She vividly rembered that Li Zhiyan hadn’t drunk before. If he hadn’t been intoxicated that previous evening, he wouldn’t have ended up in that situation.
Though Li Zhiyan seed calm and composed now, Shen Hongi knew it must be due to drinking way too much.
In a little while, he’d probably end up unconscious.
Glancing at Shen Hongi, who was nearing collapse, Li Zhiyan worriedly said, "Aunt Shen, I’m fine, but I think you might be in trouble..."
Lucas’s drinking tolerance was truly unprecedented.
Even though he hadn’t toasted much with Shen Hongi, she’d already been driven to her current state.
Wrapping his arms around Shen Hongi’s plump yet firm waist,
Li Zhiyan was genuinely afraid she might fall.
Lai Feifei staggered over, pointed at Li Zhiyan, and exclaid, "Wow!"
