Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 504 - 460: Drinking Baijiu Straight from the Bottle (Bonus 23/31)
"No, no, we can’t keep drinking like this. It’s no fun drinking this way. Back when I drank soda, I drank straight from the bottle. Drinking by the glass just isn’t satisfying. Come on, come on. Old buddy, let’s drink a bottle each, one-on-one. You go first or should I?"
After Lin Yi said this, everyone was stunned.
For a moment, the originally lively scene suddenly became quiet.
Xiao Zihan and Empress Dowager Ye, sitting at the main table, couldn’t help but frown slightly, wanting to stand up, but were stopped by Lin Jianguo nearby.
Looking at his son’s state, Lin Jianguo slightly furrowed his brows and shook his head at Empress Dowager Ye and Xiao Zihan.
The meaning was clear, to see what his son intended to do first.
After all, in his mind, his son was not a reckless person nowadays.
There might be a purpose to what he’s doing now.
This was the situation at the main table, while the business tycoons over there all furrowed their brows, staring over.
They didn’t say anything, but what they were thinking was anyone’s guess.
In short, these people felt a bit annoyed towards Lao Chen and somewhat gleeful towards Lin Yi.
Although they were deeply collaborating with the Nuclear Group now, never forget, the tighter the cooperation now, the more forceful the Nuclear Group was in suppressing them back then.
It was precisely because of this that they were eager to watch Lin Yi embarrass himself.
They wanted to see this greenhorn, much younger than them, make a fool of himself in their presence.
Perhaps, this is human nature.
The wealth and career one has painstakingly built over a lifetime ended up being surpassed by a greenhorn in less than two years; it’s something no one wants to see.
Actually, to talk about it, the reason Lin Yi was drinking with Lao Chen had this aspect.
Otherwise, how could a dignified president of the Nuclear Group lower himself to drink with an unknown small business boss?
He was actually doing this for specific people to see.
Of course, there’s a lot of twists and turns involved; calling it killing the chicken to scare the monkey isn’t an exaggeration.
However, this "killing the chicken" isn’t literal.
It’s not about ruining the other person’s business, but a psychological killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
Now, back to the scene, after hearing Lin Yi’s words, Lao Chen was first stunned, then filled with joy.
Drinking from the bottle? He would love to drink from the bottle!
Given his drinking capacity, although he would feel it after a bottle, it was obvious that the other party wouldn’t be able to handle it at all.
Let alone a bottle, seeing the other party’s demeanor, even one more glass would make him puke.
Thinking of this, Lao Chen eagerly grabbed the bottle and laughed heartily at Lin Yi:
"Haha, Chairman Lin really is straightforward. No wonder you’ve achieved so much at such a young age. Just for this drinking part, I, Lao Chen, admire you! Come, let’s down this bottle together."
Saying this, Lao Chen raised the bottle to his mouth directly.
From his posture, he seemed afraid Lin Yi wouldn’t drink.
And indeed, Lin Yi did not disappoint—when Lao Chen picked up the bottle, Lin Yi also swayed as he lifted his own bottle.
The surrounding people wanted to speak, but they all gestured for silence.
Simultaneously, they put the bottle to their lips, gulping down the white liquor.
As the liquor rolled down Lin Yi’s throat and into his stomach, everyone couldn’t help but feel their hearts tighten.
Meanwhile, Lao Chen, who was drinking and glancing at Lin Yi with his peripheral vision, felt particularly pleased seeing this scene.
To the extent that the dizziness wasn’t as intense with each mouthful.
However, white liquor is white liquor, no matter how good your drinking capacity is, you can’t stand drinking from the bottle.
Lao Chen’s original plan was to drink slowly, waiting for the other to puke and fall—then naturally he could put down the bottle.
It was with this thought in mind that Lao Chen, in sharp contrast to Lin Yi’s gluttonous pace, raised his bottle high but drank slowly as seen by his sluggishly moving throat.
When Lin Yi had drunk half a bottle, the other party had only drunk about a glass in total.
"Hmph, young punk! If I don’t drink you under the table today, my name isn’t Chen."
"Ah, youth! To have achievements like today, honestly, is just dumb luck."
"If I were in your position, I too would create a vast Nuclear Group."
As he kept an eye on Lin Yi with his peripheral vision, Lao Chen mused to himself.
In his and many others’ minds, Lin Yi’s achievements were entirely thanks to Tsinghua!
In addition, in his heart, he kept wondering when Lin Yi would fall, when he could finally put down his bottle.
However, things went a bit unexpectedly for him.
As time ticked by, it became clear that Lin Yi’s bottle was already more than half empty.
His swaying posture seemed about to collapse, yet somehow, he hadn’t fallen.
In such a situation, even if Lao Chen wanted to sneakily slow down his drinking, he couldn’t avoid it.
Even though he drank little, time was not on his side.
Slowly, Lao Chen’s head began to feel dizzy.
After all, he wasn’t young anymore, and considering he had already drunk several glasses, his drinking capacity was at most about one and a half jin.
If he drank glass by glass slowly, two jin was no problem.
But now gulping a bottle, one jin in one go, he absolutely couldn’t handle it.
He knew this all too well when he picked up the bottle. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Gulp~ gulp~ gulp~
Lin Yi was still gulping down big mouthfuls, and his bottle was visibly nearing the bottom.
With the last few swallows gutting down, a loud thump was heard.
Lin Yi heavily placed the empty bottle on the table, followed by a burp.
Instantly, a strong aroma of alcohol emitted from his throat, and everyone around smelled it too.
This immediately dispelled any doubts the crowd had about whether Lin Yi was actually drinking alcohol.
No doubt, what he drank was indeed alcohol.
But as Lin Yi placed down his bottle, the still-drinking Lao Chen was left dumbfounded.
He had never anticipated that Lin Yi would really finish the whole bottle!
Perhaps too shocked, a sip of alcohol went down wrong, causing him to cough incessantly.
