School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master

Chapter 166: Chapter 188: Going Alone to the Meeting (Part 2)

Zhao Dongshan, anxious, hurriedly signaled Lin HaiLong with his eyes.

Understanding the cue, Lin HaiLong picked up a bottle before Chen Nan could speak and hurriedly said, ”Here, Mr. Chen, it’s true we wouldn’t have met had we not fought. I was wrong last time and I’d like to apologize with this bottle of liquor.”

Seeing Lin HaiLong attempting to block the drinks for Zhao Dongshan, Chen Nan sneered in his heart. However, his face remained all smiles as he said, ”Captain Lin is too polite. I’m not very good with words, here, let all our words be in the liquor.”

Your fucking mouth is more poisonous than a snake’s, and you say you can’t speak?

Lin HaiLong cursed internally but couldn’t show his displeasure, only managing to force a smile, he picked up the bottle and clinked it with Chen Nan.

After one bottle went down, the other bodyguard captains also started picking up bottles, taking turns to block drinks for Zhao Dongshan, creating a relentless assault of drinks on Chen Nan.

Each of the four giant bodyguard captains toasted a bottle, plus the two bottles from Zhao Dongshan, amounting to six bottles in total Chen Nan had gulped down without showing any signs of intoxication, leaving everyone present secretly alarmed. Did this guy grow up soaked in liquor? He can really hold his alcohol!

Of Zhao’s four bodyguard captains, two of them had average alcohol tolerance and were already dizzy and confused.

”Here, Brother Ming, our brotherly bond is deep, let’s gulp this drink down. I dedicate this bottle to you.”

Just when everyone thought Chen Nan would give it a rest for a while, he, while reaching for another bottle, smiled slyly at Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming, a typical playboy, although a frequent drinker and lady-chaser, couldn’t hold his liquor like Zhao’s experts. Nearly 500ml per bottle of this white liquor was too much for him; even half a bottle could knock him down.

”Brother Nan, this... I can’t, my tolerance isn’t...”

Zhao Ming hadn’t finished his sentence when Chen Nan had already stood up with the bottle in hand, ”I heard Brother Ming has a great capacity? How could this small bottle be too much? Are you saying you won’t give me face?”

”I...”

Just as Zhao Ming tried to speak, Zhao Dongshan gave him a look from the side. Helplessly, Zhao Ming grabbed the bottle.

He almost regretted coming to this banquet. Holding the bottle, Zhao Ming seriously doubted whether he would survive this drink.

”Brother Ming, I’ll drink first as a toast to you.”

After clinking glasses with Zhao Ming, Chen Nan tilted his head back and guzzled down the bottle, causing Zhao Ming’s mouth to twitch and his heart to suffer.

Seeing that Zhao Ming hadn’t made a move while Chen Nan had already finished a bottle, Zhao Dongshan hurriedly whispered, ”Drink it fast!”

”Uncle, I...”

Zhao Ming hesitated, then gritted his teeth fiercely and, grabbing the bottle, tilted it into his mouth.

Watching Zhao Ming’s agonized expression, Zhao Dongshan felt deeply distressed. His elder brother and sister-in-law had died young, leaving only Zhao Ming as the sole offspring. He had always treated him as his own, cherishing him greatly, never forcing him to do anything, which, unfortunately, led to Zhao Ming’s unambitious character.

This time, Zhao Dongshan really had no choice but to force him to drink.

Chen Nan finished the bottle in a matter of seconds, but it took Zhao Ming a whole five minutes to drink only half a bottle. Finally, wobbling and tipsy, he said, ”Uncle, I can’t... drink anymore.”

Zhao Dongshan felt helpless but still picked up a bottle and said, ”Mr. Chen, Ming can’t hold his liquor. I’ll drink this bottle for him, please forgive us.” After that, he opened the bottle and started drinking.

Chen Nan watched Zhao Dongshan with a smile, and after he had finished the bottle, he sighed and said, ”Mr. Zhao, you exaggerate. Having Brother Ming drink with me shows he regards me as a brother, it doesn’t matter how much he drinks, why would you need to drink for him!”

Zhao Dongshan felt an urge to smash the wine bottle over Chen Nan’s head, thinking bitterly, ”Damn it, why didn’t you say this earlier? You wait until I’ve finished drinking to tell me; what’s the point now?”

”Why do you look so upset, Mr. Zhao? Did I say something wrong?” Chen Nan asked with a smile.

Zhao Dongshan clenched his teeth in silence, wishing he could chop Chen Nan into pieces—this guy was just too hypocritical.

If it weren’t for wanting to win Chen Nan over, given Zhao Dongshan’s usual temper, he would definitely have ordered everyone to rush up and hack Chen Nan to death to vent his anger.

”Mr. Chen is joking.” Zhao Dongshan suppressed the anger in his heart and said with a forced smile, ”Since ancient times, heroes have been young, Mr. Chen’s capacity for liquor is truly like no other. I admire that immensely!”

”You flatter me, Mr. Zhao.”

Chen Nan pointed to the table full of dishes and picked up his chopsticks, saying, ”Come, everyone eat up; these dishes will cool down if we don’t eat them now.”

The people of the Zhao family all clenched their fists, feeling extremely frustrated. Who, after all, was the host and who was the guest today? From the sound of it, it seemed as if Chen Nan was the one inviting them to dinner. Did this guy have no shame at all?

Especially the two half-drunk bodyguard captains—if Zhao Dongshan hadn’t given them a look, they might have already exploded and challenged Chen Nan to a duel.

After eating and drinking their fill, Zhao Dongshan passed a cigarette to Chen Nan and smiled, ”Mr. Chen is such a hero, I wonder where he is currently employed?”

”Aren’t you asking something you already know?” Chen Nan replied unapologetically.

”You!”

Zhao Dongshan’s expression turned extremely ugly. He was, after all, the head of the Zhao family, and this guy was giving him no respect at all. Forcedly smiling, he said, ”With Mr. Chen’s talents, why demean yourself by working as a bodyguard?”

Chen Nan took a drag from his cigarette, ”What are you suggesting, Mr. Zhao?”

Zhao Dongshan took out a jade-carved Qilin and placed it on the table, smiling, ”This is a small token of my appreciation, top-notch He Tian Yangzhi White Jade. If Mr. Chen is willing to join the Zhao family, from today you will be the second in command, on equal footing with me. What do you think?”

Chen Nan glanced at the White Jade Qilin; it was of very high quality, weighing at least one hundred grams.

This type of He Tian Yangzhi White Jade, the best of which could cost tens of thousands per gram, meant that the jade pendant in front of him was definitely high-quality and worth at least a couple of million.

”Are you serious, Mr. Zhao?” Chen Nan asked with a smile.

Possible breakthrough!

A wave of joy rose in Zhao Dongshan’s heart, and he hurriedly said, ”A promise is a promise, as unshakable as mountains.”

Chen Nan nodded slightly, his eyes lingering on the White Jade Qilin on the table, then looked at Zhao Dongshan, smiling without a word.

Zhao Dongshan let go and pushed the White Jade Qilin in front of Chen Nan, saying with a smile, ”Since Mr. Chen has agreed, from today onward, you are the second in command of the Zhao family.”

Chen Nan took the White Jade Qilin in his hands, examined it, and nodded in satisfaction, ”Indeed, it’s a fine piece of jade. Thank you, Mr. Zhao.” He then put it away, his face full of confusion as he said, ”But when did I agree to join the Zhao family?”

Collected the item and now pretending not to recognize the deal?

Everyone’s face suddenly turned cold, and layers of killing aura began to envelop the room, concentrating towards Chen Nan.

A massive battle was on the verge of erupting!
