Chapter 123 Hunting the Whole Field
Although tonight's drinking party was mostly attended by people from Li Huaide's faction, there was still competition among them.
Li Huaide will not stop this healthy competition; on the contrary, he will secretly promote it.
The dinner table is a very important battleground.
Getting knocked out at a dinner party is incredibly embarrassing.
You'll be laughed at.
After witnessing Li Qin's drinking capacity, Liu Changqing and Wang Dawei were full of confidence for tonight's dinner party.
Li Qin had originally thought that since they had just finished drinking last night, tonight's focus should be on eating.
Now, upon hearing Liu Changqing's words, he immediately realized that he had been wrong.
Tonight might be even crazier than last night;
Li Qin could only sigh inwardly, "They're all just a bunch of animals."
They drank so much last night, and they still want to continue today.
However, Li Qin nodded in response to Liu Changqing's instructions.
"Don't worry, Section Chief."
No matter how many people come, Li Qin, with his cheating methods, is confident he can take them all down.
Upon hearing Li Qin's assurance, Liu Changqing and Wang Dawei immediately smiled.
The three then began smoking in Liu Changqing's office.
Liu Changqing wasn't smoking the usual Daqianmen cigarettes, but the classic Peony.
Although it can't compare to Hua Zi, it's still a very good cigarette.
Time flew by, and more than an hour had passed.
The steel rolling mill's employees have basically all received their holiday benefits and gone home.
During this process, Li Qin chatted with Liu Changqing and Wang Dawei while paying attention to the prompts from the system.

Although the amount obtained each time is not large, the value lies in the steady flow over time.
These are all the emotional energies emanating from the steel mill workers after they actually received the meat.
"It's almost time, we should head over."
Liu Changqing glanced at his watch and realized that it was almost time.
The three of them stubbed out their cigarettes and headed together toward the first canteen.
The steel rolling mill now has four canteens, and the best food is served in the first canteen, so it's used for both private meals for leaders and for entertaining guests.
They are almost all placed in the first canteen.
The three of them went straight up to the second floor of the cafeteria.
Li Qin had assumed it would be the same private room as last night, but it turned out to be different.
Instead, it was a larger private room.
When they entered the private room, it was already filled with people smoking.
Upon seeing them enter, everyone greeted them.
Liu Changqing, Wang Dawei, and Li Qin also responded.
Li Qin immediately recognized that several of them were people he had drunk with the previous night.
When these people saw him, they all smiled and nodded.
Although Li Qin didn't know many of the people in the room, with Liu Changqing's introduction, they quickly became very familiar with each other and sat together smoking.
After Li Qin and his group arrived, several other people also entered the private room.
They may know each other or not.
Li Qin did not try to stand out; instead, he greeted everyone else proactively, just like everyone else.
Sometimes, friendship between men can be really very simple:
It could be a greeting, a cigarette, or...
As a result, Li Qin had already met quite a few people before the drinking party even started.
These people belong to different departments of the steel rolling mill.
However, most of them belong to logistics.
However, it's not all logistics staff; there are also personnel from other departments, such as security, labor relations, and human resources...
The group chatted, joked, and smoked as they went.
Time passed quickly again.
As a leader, one is usually the last to arrive.
When almost everyone had arrived, Li Huaide walked in with Wei Kai and the others.
Although the security department is neutral in the steel rolling mill, they put in a lot of effort last night.
Li Huaide would naturally invite him.
Moreover, this is also a perfect opportunity to get closer to the Security Department.
Li Huaide was very clear-headed. He knew that the Security Section would not really side with him, and all he needed to do was maintain a friendly relationship with them.
As the leaders entered, the kitchen immediately brought out the prepared food. In the past, meals were mostly vegetarian with little meat.
But today it's completely the opposite.
Because of Li Qin, the steel rolling mill was not short of meat at this time.
Therefore, the food served at this dinner was quite lavish:
Wild boar meat, wolf meat, rabbit meat, pheasant meat...
There are plenty of different kinds of meat and vegetables.
Moreover, the quantity of each meat dish is very large.
There were many dishes, but there were also many people.
Li Qin roughly counted and found that there were already twenty people in the private room, including himself.
That's double the number from last night.
Unlike last night, when Li Huaide started by offering wine, today he had everyone eat first.
That makes sense.
After all, this is the time of day for meals.
If you start drinking alcohol without eating something first, you'll feel really uncomfortable.
After seeing that everyone had eaten something to prepare, Li Huaide then began to offer wine.
Just like last night, it was three cups.
As for toasts, they're basically the same:
Thank you to everyone, both new and old, for your contributions. Thank you to the organization and all the staff for their dedication.
Although it's all official jargon, it's something we have to say.
After Li Huaide's performance ended, the real drinking began.
Playing in circles, playing drinking games, toasting...
This time, Li Qin wasn't in a hurry; instead, he chose to eat something first.
After all, he hadn't eaten anything in the morning, and only ate a little bit at noon. If he didn't eat anything in the evening, he would feel terrible.
Once he had eaten most of it, the hunt began.
Although there were more people, Li Qin was not afraid at all.
Having witnessed Li Qin's drinking prowess last night, those who saw him make an appearance immediately sat aside, ready to watch the others make fools of themselves.
Those who didn't know Li Qin's alcohol tolerance initially thought that since he was young, his alcohol tolerance shouldn't be too high.
But soon, they realized something was wrong.
Li Qin kept circling around and around without stopping.
By the time these people realized something was wrong, they had already been thoroughly drunk by Li Qin.
Besides these newly acquainted people, Li Qin also didn't forget those who were watching the spectacle.
The final result was that everyone was taken down by Li Qin.
Since tomorrow is a holiday and there's no need to work, Li Qin didn't even spare Li Huaide this time.
Some of them refused to admit defeat and tried to team up to drink with Li Qin, but their fate was naturally even worse.
They were all lying under the table by then.
To avoid appearing too outrageous, Li Qin also drank about eight ounces of baijiu (Chinese liquor) tonight.
Although he could still stand, his face was flushed and his eyes were starting to glaze over.
After this drinking session, Li Qin left a very deep impression on many people.
Similarly, through this drinking party, Li Qin's network of contacts was completely expanded within the steel rolling mill.
Although it is still relatively fragile, it has already made a good start.
These relationships will become even stronger once he demonstrates his value.
