After toasting Su Dongmei, Ye Xiu continued to move on to the next table.
"Nurse Chang, come, Ye Xiu toasts you, please take care of me in the future!"
"Dr. Li, Ye Xiu toasts you, please take care of me in the future!"
...
Regardless of who it was, Ye Xiu's face always maintained a smile. His expression was always sincere, and regardless of the person, Ye Xiu's glass was always full. When drinking, he always finished the entire glass in one go, without any difference or deviation.
I didn't expect this guy named Ye, who looks fragile, to actually hold his liquor!
Watching Ye Xiu toast one person after another, it seemed he had almost finished toasting the table where Su Dongmei sat. Zheng Wenbo's mind finally began to feel some shock.
But it was just a slight shock. Immediately, he regained his composure.
He still didn't believe that Ye Xiu could actually finish the remaining drinks!
A journey of a hundred miles begins with the first step. Drinking toasts is just the beginning. The later part is the most difficult, like climbing a mountain. The final stretch, just before reaching the top, is the most arduous. It's not just about the volume of alcohol but also the capacity of the stomach and the ability of the intestines to handle it. All sorts of discomfort will erupt together.
He knew this well from drinking for many years.
For someone like Ye, it's just the beginning!
I really don't believe you can drink down the remaining ten or so drinks!
Zheng Wenbo sneered inwardly.
Unexpectedly, Dr. Ye, who looks refined and scholarly, has quite a good alcohol tolerance. He has already toasted two tables, and considering the volume of each glass, he's already consumed at least three pounds of liquor, not to mention the drinks he had before. Altogether, it's probably around three and a half pounds.
Wang Yanchao and the other doctors in the private room were also surprised to see Ye Xiu toast another table. Each of them felt a sense of astonishment and respect when they looked at Ye Xiu.
However, they were all doctors who had experienced many social gatherings and drank a lot. They knew that the later part was more critical. Their minds became even more alert.
Not only Wang Yanchao and a few others familiar with Ye Xiu, but also all the medical staff in the private room, were unconsciously worried about Ye Xiu. Regardless of their previous opinions of Ye Xiu, at this moment, they were all on his side. Ye Xiu's actions just now, his smile, and the sincerity in his eyes while toasting each person had touched them.
Ye Xiu didn't pay attention to Zheng Wenbo's gaze or the expressions of those in the private room. He just raised his glass and headed to the next table to continue toasting.
One glass...
Two glasses...
Three glasses...
...
With each glass he toasted, the entire private room became tense. Everyone's face was filled with nervousness, and some even unconsciously clenched their fists.
He's going to fall...
After one more glass, he'll definitely fall...
He couldn't possibly have that much tolerance to drink so much...
Zheng Wenbo's gaze, watching Ye Xiu drink more and more, with fewer drinks left, became increasingly solemn and nervous. The veins on his hand holding the glass began to protrude. In his mind, he kept shouting "fall," praying for Ye Xiu to suddenly collapse. He tried to reassure himself, to calm down, to tell himself that Ye Xiu couldn't possibly finish...
But unfortunately, as Ye Xiu drank more and more, his inner self-reassurance and suggestion gradually weakened. His face became paler, and his eyes grew more tense...
And his prayers ultimately had no effect...
Under the tense gaze of everyone in the private room, Ye Xiu finally finished toasting the last colleague and drank the last glass of liquor!
Watching Ye Xiu drink down the last glass in one go, turning the glass upside down in front of that colleague and the others.
In the private room, someone started clapping first, and soon everyone except Ye Xiu and Zheng Wenbo joined in, showing excitement and excitement. Every person's face was full of excitement and admiration as they looked at Ye Xiu.
Fifty-degree strong liquor!
Ye Xiu toasted each of the thirty-odd people in the private room!
And before that, he had already drunk several glasses!
And throughout the whole process, Ye Xiu remained composed, always smiling and courteous. His attitude towards each colleague was sincere and humble!
At this moment, Ye Xiu, with his demeanor and alcohol tolerance, conquered everyone present!
Wang Yanchao and a few others who cared about Ye Xiu were blushing, applauding vigorously, not feeling the pain in their hands from clapping. They had been tense all along, but at this moment, they finally let go. They were genuinely happy for Ye Xiu, genuinely proud of him!
Feeling the eyes of everyone, Ye Xiu smiled and gestured to them.
No, it's impossible!
How could he possibly drink so much!
So much liquor, even for someone with his exceptional talent, trained and experienced in the drinking scene for many years, there's no absolute confidence that he could finish. How could this pretty boy possibly handle so much liquor!
Zheng Wenbo's gaze, looking at Ye Xiu standing there with a smile, accepting the applause and gaze of the entire private room, was full of disbelief. He kept shouting "fall" in his heart. His hand holding the glass almost crushed it, and the nails of his other hand dug into the palm, but he didn't notice.
However, no matter how unbelievable he felt, the fact remained that Ye Xiu finished the drinks!
And when Ye Xiu was drinking, his gaze was always on him. From start to finish, Ye Xiu didn't do anything suspicious. Each glass was filled to the brim, and he drank them all without spilling a drop!
He couldn't find any reason or fault!
"Dr. Zheng, I've thrown my brick, now it's your turn! "
After the applause died down a bit, Ye Xiu finally signaled everyone to pause and turned his gaze to Zheng Wenbo, who still wore a face of disbelief and couldn't accept the fact that Ye Xiu had finished his drinks.
Without speaking yet, Wang Yanchao spoke first beside him.
He looked at Zheng Wenbo with a cold expression, his tone firm.
He was thoroughly irritated by Zheng Wenbo today.
He had specially organized this banquet to welcome Ye Xiu. Firstly, to express his appreciation for Ye Xiu, secondly, to express his guilt for misunderstanding Ye Xiu before, and thirdly, and most importantly, to resolve the misunderstandings between Ye Xiu and his colleagues caused by his earlier misunderstanding. He wanted Ye Xiu to better integrate into the department.
But this surname Zheng had to come out and make trouble, trying to trap Ye Xiu. If Ye Xiu's alcohol tolerance hadn't been unexpectedly good, today's well-intentioned banquet might have turned into an embarrassment for Ye Xiu, deepening the misunderstandings between Ye Xiu and his colleagues. Afterward, Ye Xiu might even think that they were all colluding with Zheng Wenbo to set him up. Even if Ye Xiu didn't have these misunderstandings, he might not be able to handle the pressure and feel too embarrassed to stay in the department and choose to resign.
By then, he would have to watch the talented person he worked so hard to recruit slip away before his eyes. All his good intentions and efforts would be wasted. Just thinking about the possible consequences made Wang Yanchao wish he could swallow Zheng Wenbo alive!
At this moment, how could he give Zheng Wenbo any face?
