Chapter 118: Replace All These Drinks for Me

Every time they had a gathering, the employees would drink about 20 cases of beer in total; one case contained 12 bottles, which meant about 240 bottles of beer.

If they were all replaced with this thousand-dollar beer, wouldn't that easily cost over 200,000?

If the employees drank a little more, they might even be able to spend 300,000!

Chen Mo's eyes lit up as he looked at the hotel owner and said.

"Could you please have the waiters remove all the beer from the banquet hall and replace it with this red wine that costs one thousand per bottle? Let's start with 300 bottles. We'll settle the difference later, no problem, right?"

"President Chen, how many bottles?"

The hotel manager asked uncertainly, suspecting he might have misheard.

It should have been 30 bottles, not 300.

"300 bottles."

"Understood, President Chen, I will go notify them right away."

The hotel manager confirmed he hadn't misheard, agreed immediately, and hurried to arrange for the waiters to remove the beer from the banquet hall and have another team of waiters fetch the red wine.

"President Chen, isn't this red wine a bit too expensive!"

Shen Rou followed along and said in a low voice.

She had seen the price of that red wine; it was one thousand dollars per bottle, and President Chen had ordered 300 bottles at once—that was too extravagant.

"You don't understand. Red wine has beauty and skincare benefits, it's much better than beer."

"You'll have to drink some too later."

Chen Mo said with a serious expression; he remembered that Shen Rou had drunk fruit wine last time, so if she could drink fruit wine, having some red wine shouldn't be an issue.

"Ah, do I have to drink too?"

Shen Rou opened her mouth in surprise.

"Of course. The company will definitely get bigger and bigger. As my assistant, you will inevitably have to attend wine parties and such with me in the future. If you don't know anything about wine by then, how will that work?"

Chen Mo looked at Shen Rou's surprised expression and casually found an excuse to gloss over it.

Shen Rou pondered upon hearing President Chen's words.

That's right!

As President Chen's assistant, she would definitely have to go out to social events with him in the future. If President Chen couldn't drink, then she would have to step in and block drinks for him when necessary!

Returning to the banquet hall, Chen Mo had just walked in when he saw Li Shen approaching.

"President Chen, the waiters have removed all the beer, saying you arranged for them to be replaced with other drinks."

"That's right. I got you all some good wine. I see you have a good tolerance for alcohol, so drink plenty this time!"

Chen Mo reached out and patted Li Shen on the shoulder before returning to his seat.

Soon, several waiters pushed the red wine in.

Before long, exclamations of surprise rang out in the banquet hall as the employees looked curiously at the red wine on the tables, and some were already impatiently pouring a glass and drinking.

Seeing this, Chen Mo nodded secretly, seeing that the employees were quite satisfied with this red wine.

However, after a while, he noticed something was wrong.

At first, the employees drank with enthusiasm and quickly finished a bottle of red wine, but slowly, the second or third bottle began to slow down.

Some employees even stopped drinking altogether.

This wouldn't do.

Chen Mo couldn't sit still for a moment.

If he didn't finish these red wines, how could he exhaust those 300,000 in System Funds?

He immediately stood up and walked from table to table.

"Well, you girls should drink a little as well. Red wine is good for beauty and skin."

"Right!"

"Heroines don't yield to men; you are the Hua Mulan of our company."

"Hey, what's wrong with you guys? The ladies have already finished a bottle, and you haven't even finished half a bottle yet."

"What? Trying to keep fish? Fill them up, fill them up."

"That's right, deep feelings are expressed in one gulp; iron-clad bonds are forged by drinking until you vomit blood."

"Wang Maonian, aren't you a heavy drinker? Why stop after three bottles?"

Chen Mo watched Wang Maonian sitting there without drinking for a long time and directly opened a bottle of red wine and brought it over.

Wang Maonian looked at the red wine President Chen placed before him, reached out to rub his head, and spoke with some difficulty.

"President Chen, it's not that I don't want to drink, but this red wine has a strong aftereffect. Let me take a breather."

"Fine, take a breather then, but this bottle of red wine is for you."

Chen Mo watched Wang Maonian's resistant expression and smiled secretly.

Finally, he had his revenge for the two times he had been toasted.

After three rounds of drinks and five courses, the celebration banquet soon ended.

In the end, the red wine wasn't finished; only 236 bottles were consumed.

However, Chen Mo wasn't that anxious; he suddenly thought of other ways to spend money. Since it was a celebration banquet, there should be commendations.

He could completely reward the employees who participated in the Tianlong reform this time!

As Chen Mo thought about this, Wei Yan and the others in the distance had already begun arranging for the company employees to leave the banquet one after another.

At the entrance of the Emperor Hotel.

"Attorney Tang, these two are in your hands."

Chen Mo looked at Zhou Chen and Zhao Lingling beside Tang Qiu. Both of them worked from home, and because they had just drunk half a bottle of red wine, they were wobbling a bit as they walked.

Fortunately, Tang Qiu had driven there and hadn't been drinking, so she took the initiative to take on the duty of sending these two home.

"Don't worry, President Chen. What about Shen Rou?"

Tang Qiu looked at Shen Rou beside Chen Mo.

At this moment, Shen Rou was being firmly supported by Chen Mo, completely drunk beyond recognition.

She hadn't expected the seemingly delicate Shen Rou to drink so fiercely, downing two whole bottles of red wine.

"I've already contacted Shen Rou's classmate; I will send her to the university."

Chen Mo glanced at Shen Rou leaning on him and said faintly.

"Okay!"

Tang Qiu nodded and then shoved Zhou Chen and Zhao Lingling into the car.

Chen Mo also supported Shen Rou to the company's business van and helped her inside.

"Brother Yang, let's go to Jiangcheng University first."

…

At the entrance of Jiangcheng University.

Zhang Lan was waiting anxiously; she had come to wait at the school entrance after receiving Chen Mo's call.

Not long after, a business van pulled up to the school gate, and she saw Chen Mo get out and carry Shen Rou on his back.

She hurried over.

"How is Shen Rou? Why did she drink so much?"

Zhang Lan looked at the fidgeting Shen Rou on Chen Mo's back and asked anxiously.

"It's nothing, just drunk. Where is your dormitory building?"

Chen Mo said somewhat awkwardly. He had only told Shen Rou to drink a little with the female employees at that table, but when he came back after his round of persuading everyone to drink…

He discovered that, other than Tang Qiu and one female employee who couldn't drink, the other female employees were all drunk, including Zhou Chen and Zhao Lingling, who had been taken away by Tang Qiu.

And Shen Rou was even more impressive; while those female employees had drunk a bottle or half a bottle, Shen Rou had downed two full bottles.

Chen Mo felt a bit moved; Shen Rou was the one who understood him best. To help him spend money, she had even risked her life to drink.

Unlike those guys like Li Maocai, who were all enthusiastic when toasting but started complaining about the strong aftereffect of red wine when they actually needed to drink.

Zhang Lan carefully checked Shen Rou's condition and finally relaxed after confirming that she was fine, just drunk.

She pointed towards the dormitory building and asked Chen Mo curiously.

"Xiao Rou, how much did she drink to get this drunk?"

"Two bottles."

Chen Mo carried Shen Rou on his back and walked in the direction Zhang Lan pointed.

"That's not right. Xiao Rou and I have drunk in the dorm before, and she drank more than two bottles back then, so why didn't she get this drunk?"

Zhang Lan asked in confusion.
