Chapter 2428: Casablanca

At 8:10 in the evening, the lights were lit, and the city's night was dotted with neon lights in colorful splendor.

Gu Bing walked unsteadily, his whole body exuding a strong smell of alcohol, and under the support of Tan Sheng and Hong Tao, he swayed out of Liuquanju. Shao Yan, Dong Dashan, and Zhang Qun followed closely behind, exiting one after another.

"Secretary!" Hong Tao held Gu Bing tightly, fearing he might fall to the ground if he wasn't careful, while saying with an ambiguous smile: "It's still early, how about we go sing and dance to relax?"

Gu Bing's eyes were blurry with drunkenness, he waved his hand, his tongue somewhat tied as he said: "No... no no no... going, today this wine, drank very enjoyably, wait a few days, I'll host, we... we'll drink well again."

"Secretary!" Seeing this, Dong Dashan hurriedly took two quick steps, came to Gu Bing's side, and said with a full face of smiles: "Today's wine was indeed enjoyed enough, but everyone still wants to go relax, you can't spoil everyone's fun, going home alone is so boring."

"Right, right, right!" Shao Yan also echoed from the side: "Secretary, if you just go home alone like this, we subordinates won't have the mood to go play anymore, right?"

Everyone started persuading him one after another. Facing everyone's persuasion, Gu Bing could only helplessly agree: "Alright... then, since you all said... so, if I don't go, it really is very spoil... fun, then... then let's... let's go together."

Hearing Gu Bing agree, Shao Yan and the others looked at each other, exchanged glances, and a trace of a smile appeared on their faces unconsciously. Tan Sheng also smiled from the side, but there was a mockery in his eyes that was hard to detect.

Gu Bing was supported into the car, and Tan Sheng followed closely. Hong Tao sat in the driver's seat and started the car. Shao Yan, Dong Dashan, and Zhang Qun got into their own. There were four other people from the Party Committee Office, driving a van. A total of five cars headed straight for Casablanca.

They had been gone for only a few minutes when two young men also came out of Liuquanju, holding a DV camera in their hands. The two didn't delay, got into a Santana, and their destination was also Casablanca.

"Wish you peace, oh wish you peace, wish you peace, oh wish you peace, let that happiness surround you, that you are forever happy is my greatest wish..."

Inside the Casablanca song and dance hall, the lights were dim, and a man stood in the center of the stage, holding a guitar, singing "Wish You Peace" with deep affection. After this song was released in April this year, it swept across the country like a whirlwind. And the singer, Sun Yue, was a singer who walked out of Casablanca.

In a corner of the song and dance hall, Zhang Zuo, Kan Feng, and several other brothers sat around a booth, the table filled with various foods and drinks. While eating and drinking, they occasionally cast their gaze toward the dance floor.

On the dance floor, men and women embraced tightly, swaying to the rhythm of the music. Although the lights were dim, one could occasionally see men's hands wandering on women's bodies; this kind of ambiguous atmosphere always made men's hormones soar.

At the same time, men and women went up and down to the second floor from time to time. Because the second floor had more than a dozen lounges for those men and women who were tired of playing to rest. And these lounges were called "cannon rooms" by many people, so entering the lounges to rest also required payment, fifty yuan per hour; of course, the money for firing cannons was calculated separately.

"Big Brother Zuo, they're here!" Kan Feng whispered in Zhang Zuo's ear.

Zhang Zuo looked up and saw that the booth not far away, which had been empty, was now full of people. Even though the lights were dim, he saw Gu Banjin at a glance and immediately grinned happily.

"The good show is finally about to begin."

Kan Feng, who was on the side, couldn't help but laugh along when he saw this, then lowered his voice and said: "Gu Shuji is swaying while sitting there, it seems he hasn't drunk little. We must pay attention, don't let anything go wrong, if any problems arise, we won't be able to answer to Chairman Zhou."

Zhang Zuo leisurely crossed his legs, his right hand gently shaking the red wine glass in his hand; the red wine in the glass, under the illumination of the lights, was like a blood-colored gem, exuding a charming luster.

"I call him Gu Banjin, don't you really think his IQ is only half a jin."

Kan Feng bared his teeth and smiled; even if Gu Bing couldn't hear, there were some things he didn't dare to say, so he could only follow along with a silly laugh.

"Today's setup was specifically designed for him, the goal is to put him to death." Zhang Zuo took a shallow sip of red wine, then held it in his mouth, letting the mellow wine aroma fill his mouth before swallowing: "As long as he isn't a complete idiot, it's absolutely impossible for him to be truly drunk."

Kan Feng looked up and said with admiration: "Big Brother Zuo, you still have eyes like torches, I didn't see it. However, I have to say, Gu Shuji's acting is also first-class."

"Is there any problem upstairs?" Zhang Zuo picked up a cigarette and lit it: "Looking at this situation, it won't take long before Gu Bing is sent to the 'cannon room' by them, so there can't be any problems. How Gu Banjin ends up, whether he goes to jail or not, has nothing to do with us, but if we can't even handle such a small matter, we can't afford to lose that face."

Kan Feng looked at the time: "How about letting Dezi go check again?"

A man next to him stood up: "Big Brother Zuo, Brother Feng, if you're worried, then I'll go check again."

"No need!" Zhang Zuo waved his hand: "Just like this, there are four machines, it's impossible for all of them to have problems."

Gu Bing leaned listlessly against the back of the chair. Shao Yan gave Dong Dashan a wink, and Dong Dashan raised his wine glass: "Secretary, this is foreign liquor. I don't know if you've drunk it before, but this is my first time drinking it. Come, I'll toast you."

Gu Bing swayed his body, picked up the wine glass, and gave Dong Dashan a silly smile: "Old... Dong, let me tell you, foreign liquor, this... this thing, drinking it, sweet... silky, but the aftereffect is very... very big. When I drank it for the first time, I didn't... take it seriously, and then when I got home... home, it kicked in, vomiting... so... messy... messy."

"Is foreign liquor that strong?" Dong Dashan didn't believe it: "I really don't believe it."

"Don't... don't believe?" Gu Bing raised his wine glass: "Then you try it!"

"Let's try it!" Dong Dashan clinked glasses with Gu Bing: "Secretary, let's go one."

"Good!" Gu Bing tilted his head and poured the wine in the glass into his mouth.

Hong Tao hurriedly picked up the wine and filled the glass in front of Gu Bing. Immediately after, Zhang Qun also raised his wine glass and said with a smile: "Secretary, I'll toast you too."

Gu Bing gave another silly smile when he saw Zhang Qun, then raised his finger and pointed in a circle: "You... you guys still want to do a wheel battle?"

Shao Yan and the others' expressions changed slightly, and Zhang Qun was also shocked in his heart, then immediately smiled: "Secretary, if you don't want to drink, then don't drink."

"NO!" Gu Bing waved his hand, picked up the wine glass, and said very heroically: "Since... since we came to play, then... then we can't spoil the fun, however much you want to drink, I, Gu... Gu Bing, will accompany you to the end."

Zhang Qun gave a thumbs up and said flatteringly: "Secretary is Secretary, I toast you."

"Cheers!" Gu Bing tilted his head again and drank the wine in the glass in one breath.

"Secretary!" Shao Yan also raised his glass: "I toast you!"

Gu Bing didn't refuse anyone, and drank the wine again. But when Tan Sheng raised his wine glass to toast, Gu Bing slumped softly on the table and couldn't be woken up no matter what.

Shao Yan and the others looked at each other and laughed at the same time: "Hong Tao, the Secretary is drunk, send him to the lounge upstairs to rest for a while."

"Okay!" Hong Tao carried a bag on his back, not knowing what was inside, bulging and looking heavy: "Xiao Liu, Xiao Chen, Xiao Zhang, Xiao Sun, you guys carry the Secretary and follow me."

Xiao Chen squatted down and said: "I'll carry him, you guys put the Secretary on my back."

The other three struggled to put Gu Bing on Xiao Chen's back. Xiao Chen stood up, and the other three carefully protected him, following Hong Tao toward the stairs.

Zhang Zuo and Kan Feng's gazes moved with Hong Tao and the others' footsteps, until they went up the stairs and disappeared around the corner before they withdrew their gazes.

"I'm a bit worried now!" Zhang Zuo said gloatingly: "What I asked them to arrange is Casablanca's most beautiful sister. I'm really afraid Gu Banjin won't be able to hold back and will make a mistake, that would be troublesome."
