Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 500 - 456: Pushing One’s Luck!

Compared to these people, I am practically like an ant on the ground.

Now it’s just targeting Li Huiqun. If it were Lin Yi, he definitely wouldn’t do this.

After all, with Lin Yi’s current power, he could easily dismantle my group with a single word.

This is not an exaggeration. Lin Yi absolutely has this power now.

As long as he says something, he wouldn’t even need to lift a finger, and countless people would step up to deal with me for him.

However, in his view, Li Huiqun is different.

Even if the other party is a senior executive at the Zaoning Group, he’s just an employee, after all.

Many people would give Lin Yi face, but they would definitely not give face to Li Huiqun.

Plus, today is Lin Yi’s daughter’s full month banquet. In such an occasion, drinking a bit is nothing.

At the very least, unless I make a particularly excessive scene, it’s completely fine.

Thinking of this, the corners of Lao Chen’s mouth curved up slightly, and he suddenly smiled, interrupting everyone’s toast:

"Ah, everyone, don’t crowd around. I know you’re all eager to have a drink with President Li, since it’s not easy to meet him ordinarily.

But don’t steal my thunder. Right now, I’m proposing a toast to President Li.

What’s the deal with you cutting in like this?

Haha. You can’t just snatch like that."

Saying this, Lao Chen purposely gestured to his empty wine glass towards Li Huiqun and everyone else.

By his expression, it was clear he was telling everyone that he had already drunk his wine, and now Li Huiqun must drink his.

Trying to bypass me and drink with everyone here is absolutely impossible.

Originally, Li Huiqun didn’t think much of it and gave the other party an out.

But who would have thought the other party not only didn’t take it but pushed even further. Now that he ignored him, the guy stood up again!

Does he really think he’s that important?

However, given today’s setting, I can’t lose my temper, even if I’m upset, I can’t show it.

This is a person’s demeanor; this is the demeanor of the Zaoning Group.

He looked up for a moment, glanced at the other party, still smiling.

Meanwhile, he pondered in his mind whether to continue ignoring the other person.

If he acknowledged him, it would be tantamount to slapping his own face.

But if he didn’t, this was already the third time the other party had spoken to him.

This would inevitably leave people with the impression of arrogance.

However, just as Li Huiqun was contemplating, Zhou Shen, who was standing aside, spoke up weakly:

"President Li, let me drink it. Although I know it’s not right for me to step out now and drink on your behalf, you have too many things to follow up on, and so many people are waiting for you. Not entertaining everyone well is also my fault. So, let me drink this on your behalf."

Speaking, Zhou Shen lifted his wine glass, directly indicated to Lao Chen, and drank it all in one gulp.

Even though it was just a glass of beer, Zhou Shen still felt an overwhelming sensation since his alcohol tolerance was really low.

Thankfully, due to Li Huiqun earlier smoothing things over, even though Zhou Shen felt uncomfortable, he didn’t vomit.

Seeing this scene, the crowd quietly gave Zhou Shen a thumbs-up. Who said this guy was inflexible? Isn’t this very adaptable? In this situation, he was the most suitable to stand out.

And at this moment, Lao Chen should also take this opportunity to step back.

After all, someone had accepted the toast he proposed, and that person was also an executive at the Zaoning Group, which should be enough to give him face.

At the very least, no one around would laugh at him. Instead, they would think he handled it very well this time.

Not only the crowd, Li Huiqun also thought this way.

So Li Huiqun reached out, smiling, and patted Zhou Shen:

"Haha, you naughty boy, I think you just wanted a drink. President Chen’s toast to me, and you drank it? Alright, alright. Since today is a happy occasion, I won’t say anything."

Finishing speaking to Zhou Shen, Li Huiqun turned his gaze back to the group, raising his beer glass again:

"Come on, let’s all raise our glasses together."

However, at this moment, contrary to everyone’s expectation that Lao Chen would sit back down, he remained standing, still holding his empty glass and smiling at Li Huiqun.

This made the atmosphere at the scene suddenly become a bit awkward.

The posture was obvious; the other person was not letting it go.

Even though Zhou Shen drank the wine for Li Huiqun, Lao Chen still refused to concede.

Looking at the stance, if Li Huiqun did not drink this glass today, Lao Chen clearly wouldn’t give up.

However, under present circumstances, it’s no longer just about a single glass of wine.

It’s about face.

Originally, it was nothing, and Li Huiqun could drink this glass. If the other party was sincerely toasting, then drinking two or three glasses wouldn’t be a big deal.

But clearly, this is now different; the opponent is deliberately targeting him.

This made it impossible for him to drink that glass of wine.

And this caused the atmosphere to become a bit tense.

Lao Chen wouldn’t let go of Li Huiqun, and Li Huiqun absolutely couldn’t drink that glass of wine.

The people at the scene looked at each other, momentarily unsure of what to do.

"Hey Lao Chen, President Li still has things to do. We can drink later. Besides, didn’t President Zhou already drink your glass?"

Amidst this atmosphere, a nearby boss intervened to mediate.

The rest also quickly nodded and agreed.

This Lao Chen might be thinking of cutting ties with the Zaoning Group in the future, but the rest are counting on partnering with them.

So even in facilitating, they leaned towards Li Huiqun.

Hearing this, Lao Chen nodded.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, he smiled and said:

"Haha, everyone is right. Since President Zhou drank it, let’s consider that I toasted President Zhou.

But just now, President Li said that the glass was for him, and President Zhou drank it, hehe. To avoid displeasing President Li, I’ll toast him individually! Come, President Li, I’ll drink mine first!"

Saying this, before anyone could react, he grabbed a nearby bottle, poured more than half a glass of wine.

Then he raised his head and drank it down without hesitation.
