Chapter 2787
Before long, Su Xinghui and Xia Song had finished a bottle of Moutai, and Xin Jing and Liu Xin had also finished their bottle of red wine. Liu Xin went to get more, but Su Xinghui said, "Liu Xin, why don't we stop drinking for today?"
Liu Xin turned back and laughed, "Mayor Su, don't worry about us. Mayor Xin's tolerance for alcohol is actually quite good."
Xin Jing glared at her and said, "Don't talk nonsense. We should still drink a little less; otherwise, if you get drunk, your husband might have something to say about it."
Liu Xin's expression dimmed slightly as she said, "It would be good if he cared about me. It's fine, we'll drink one more bottle and then stop."
Liu Xin brought over another bottle of Moutai and another bottle of red wine, opened them, poured drinks for everyone, and they started drinking again.
Although Xia Song's tolerance for alcohol was quite good, he still had his limits, so Su Xinghui took the initiative to toast Xin Jing and Liu Xin, which was also a way to help Xia Song drink more while letting him drink less.
This actually made Xia Song feel a bit embarrassed. Other leaders had their secretaries block drinks for them, but his secretary was the opposite; not only did he not help his leader block drinks, but he let his leader help him block them. However, he also knew that Su Xinghui's tolerance for alcohol was bottomless, so he didn't try to be a hero.
Xin Jing's tolerance for alcohol was indeed as good as Liu Xin had said. She had drunk quite a bit of red wine, and although her face had turned red, her eyes were still very bright, and there was no sign of drunkenness at all.
Liu Xin was also a woman who didn't yield to men; she drank glass after glass with the others. Before long, that bottle of red wine was almost finished, and she also showed no signs of intoxication, her eyes equally bright.
Su Xinghui couldn't help but believe the rumor that as long as a woman picks up a glass, her tolerance for alcohol is not small, and men might not be able to outdrink them. Each bottle of red wine was 750 milliliters; although the alcohol content was relatively low, the two women had each drunk a bottle, which was still quite a lot.
After finishing this bottle, Liu Xin wanted to go get more, but Su Xinghui laughed, "Forget it, Liu Xin, let's not drink anymore today. Let's stop here!"
Liu Xin said, "Mayor Su, it's fine, let's drink a little more."
Although Su Xinghui's words were spoken with a smile, Xin Jing could hear the firm refusal in his tone. Liu Xin, however, didn't hear it, which showed that Liu Xin was actually a bit tipsy, even if it wasn't visible on the surface.
That's how it is with red wine; it's easy to drink too much without realizing it, and you don't feel it yourself, often leading to a worse hangover than baijiu. No matter what, red wine still has an alcohol content of over ten percent.
Xin Jing quickly walked over, took Liu Xin's arm, pulled her back to the dining table, and had her sit down, saying, "Liu Xin, let's not drink anymore today. I think I've had a bit too much."
Su Xinghui could, of course, see the signs that Liu Xin had drunk too much, but Xin Jing saying she had drunk too much was a very considerate gesture, which showed him that Xin Jing was still a very kind person.
Sure enough, when Liu Xin heard Xin Jing say she had had a bit too much, she laughed and said, "Alright then, we won't drink anymore today. I'll go serve the rice."
Liu Xin wanted to stand up to serve the rice for everyone, but as soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy and nearly lost her balance. Xin Jing quickly supported her and had her sit back down, so Xia Song took the initiative to get up and go to the kitchen to serve the rice.
Xia Song had only drunk about seven or eight taels of alcohol today, with the rest being drunk by Su Xinghui, so he was still fine, feeling about seventy percent tipsy.
Xia Song quickly brought the rice, and everyone started eating, but Liu Xin held her chopsticks without moving them. Xin Jing asked with concern, "Are you not feeling well? If you're not feeling well, then don't eat."
Liu Xin looked up and forced a smile, saying, "Sister Jing, it's fine, I'll be better after sitting for a while."
