Chapter 1289
Su Xinghui just nodded vaguely, but he still didn't touch those plates of meat, only eating those few ordinary dishes.
Xu Yulai, Wang Yuwen, and Zhao Tong all toasted Su Xinghui, and Su Xinghui also toasted everyone else at the table one by one. The atmosphere at the banquet gradually became lively, but Su Xinghui's style still caused Xue Xingyuan's dissatisfaction.
Xue Xingyuan snorted and said, "Little Su, Director Wang asked you to eat these good things, why don't you eat them?"
Su Xinghui smiled, "Secretary Xue, I am not used to eating game."
Xue Xingyuan said, "I have read the newspapers. When you were in Meng Meng Hu Ling, you even engaged in game farming. Do you dare to say you don't eat game?"
Xue Xingyuan's tone was already a bit heavy, but Su Xinghui still smiled, "Secretary Xue, that was farmed game, which had a license, so it's a bit different from this game."
Xue Xingyuan snorted, "Sure enough, you mean that the world is turbid and only you are clear, right? Are you unwilling to be with us? Just say it directly."
Su Xinghui said, "I don't understand Secretary Xue's meaning. I don't have that meaning."
Xue Xingyuan said, "If you don't have that meaning, then eat. We can eat these things, maybe you can't eat them?"
Su Xinghui kept a smile on his face, but he firmly shook his head.
Xue Xingyuan was about to be furious. When had he ever been treated like this in Changshan County? He was about to act out, but Ling Anguo said, "Secretary Xue, if Little Su doesn't eat game, just let it be. Don't force him. Little Su, toast Secretary Xue a cup, just consider it an apology."
Zhao Tong also said, "Yes, Secretary Xue, it's a small matter, forget it, forget it. Comrade Su Xinghui, toast Secretary Xue a cup."
Ling Anguo was the only person in Changshan County to whom Xue Xingyuan had to give face. Plus Zhao Tong's face, Xue Xingyuan didn't act out. He stared at Su Xinghui, waiting for him to toast.
Su Xinghui knew that Ling Anguo and Zhao Tong also had good intentions. He didn't want to make things too stiff on his first day in Changshan County. What's wrong with toasting a cup? So, he picked up his wine glass and said, "Secretary Xue, I toast you a cup. Please take care of me in the future."
Although Su Xinghui toasted, he didn't say anything about an apology. Xue Xingyuan was still a bit dissatisfied, but for the sake of Ling Anguo and Zhao Tong, he picked up his wine glass and drank this cup with Su Xinghui.
Xue Xingyuan said, "County Magistrate Ling, Bokun, Yulai, Little Wang, you all toast Little Su too, make the atmosphere lively."
Li Bokun, Xu Yulai, and Wang Yuwen knew Xue Xingyuan's meaning, so they all toasted Su Xinghui one after another. Wasn't this just wanting to use a wheel battle to get Su Xinghui drunk and make him make a fool of himself?
Ling Anguo was an honest person. He only toasted Su Xinghui once and didn't toast again. Seeing that the others were still toasting Su Xinghui, he said, "Everyone take it easy, don't let Little Su get drunk on his first visit to our county."
Xue Xingyuan snorted, "County Magistrate Ling, you underestimate Little Su. Little Su has a massive capacity."
Li Bokun picked up another cup of wine and smiled, "Yes, Little Su has a massive capacity; his face hasn't even turned red yet. Come, Little Su, have another cup."
Su Xinghui smiled without speaking. He didn't refuse anyone. As long as they toasted him, he drank it all in one gulp and then toasted them back.
Before long, at least a jin of Maotai had gone into Su Xinghui's stomach, but his face didn't change color and his heart didn't jump.
Seeing that it wasn't working, Ling Anguo also raised his glass to toast, but he wasn't toasting Su Xinghui; he was toasting the others at the table. This was considered helping Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui saw it in his eyes, and his impression of this County Magistrate Ling was quite good. This County Magistrate Ling was truly an honest person.
Su Xinghui never said he was drunk, and Xue Xingyuan didn't speak, so the people at the table didn't stop toasting Su Xinghui. In just over an hour, that case of Maotai was drunk clean. Su Xinghui drank at least two jin, and the others each drank at least half a jin.
Seeing that Su Xinghui still didn't change color, everyone couldn't help but gasp. This was truly a massive capacity!
Xue Xingyuan also didn't change color. He said to Wang Yuwen, "Little Wang, go get another case of wine."
Wang Yuwen stood up and prepared to go out to get wine, but Ling Anguo said, "Secretary Xue, we can't drink anymore. If we drink more, something will happen. Besides, there are things to do in the afternoon."
Zhao Tong also said, "Yes, Secretary Xue, let's stop here today. I've had enough fun, and I have to go back to the city in the afternoon."
Xue Xingyuan was silent for a while, then nodded, "Fine, then let's stop here today. Little Wang, have the waiter serve the rice."
Wang Yuwen agreed and ran out to find the waiter. Only then did Ling Anguo let out a long sigh of relief.
