#80 - Chapter 80: Competition at the wine table! - The Goddess Brings The Baby To The House, Awakening The Daddy System!

Lin Chen said, "President Zheng and the others were quite polite. I thought they were going to act tough and slap me in the face. Miscalculated."

Xu Mengyao: "The upper class and the lower class are different. Smiling on the surface but stabbing in the back is the standard operation."

"Today they'll be drinking with you, calling you brother, and tomorrow they might seize an opportunity to make you lose so badly you'll wish you were never born."

Lin Chen nodded slightly.

"Zhao Tianyou's scheming is far inferior to Zheng Xu's."

Xu Mengyao: "That's normal. The Zhao family rose up with our Xu family. Their foundation isn't stable, and they've only been truly wealthy for about twenty years."

"The Zheng family's grandfather's generation was already rich. The education they and their sons received is different from ours."

Lin Chen nodded slightly.

"My intuition tells me they will take action."

Xu Mengyao: "Indeed, the possibility is quite high. Our Xu family is considered nouveau riche. We earn more money than them, and these old families are very unhappy about it."

"My maternal grandfather passed away early, and our Xu family doesn't have enough foundation."

Foundation is not just money.

Various relationship networks need time to slowly cultivate.

Old families may not be that rich, but their families may have intermarried with many other families.

Perhaps one of their family members has become a powerful figure.

Or perhaps someone in their family became a teacher and produced many successful students.

Xu Mengyao's maternal grandfather's goodwill was enough to get the Xu family to where it is today and is still providing protection. One can imagine how strong the foundation of old families can be.

"Mengyao, you probably aren't good at these things. Your parents will be back next month. Let your dad worry about it."

"Your dad's fighting experience is definitely much stronger than yours."

Lin Chen said.

Xu Mengyao nodded: "My dad is definitely much stronger than me. I can handle the company well when things are going smoothly."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this."

"They shouldn't take action for a while. Our Xu family isn't that easy to mess with. Anyone who sticks their neck out will have to pay a significant price."

Lin Chen chuckled: "Don't worry too much. Even if you lose everything, you and Xiao Qian will still have plenty to eat and drink."

"I can afford to support you."

Xu Mengyao's face turned slightly red: "I don't want you to support me."

Time passed by, minute by minute.

Half an hour later, most of the guests who were supposed to arrive had arrived.

There weren't that many people, about a hundred or so in total, ten tables in all, with two large tables that could seat twenty people each.

One of these two large tables was occupied by officials, and the other was occupied by business tycoons.

Lin Chen and the others were sitting at this table.

The Xu family's hundreds of billions in assets is not a small amount anywhere. After all, Zhao Jingshou is just a district head. How many business tycoons would come to his wife's birthday banquet?

"Dear friends and relatives, today is my wife's fiftieth birthday. Thank you all for coming. Please eat and drink to your heart's content."

"I'll drink this first as a toast."

Zhao Jingshou said, raising his glass as he stood up.

As he spoke, he emptied the white wine in his glass.

"Good!"

"Clap clap."

Some people cheered, and some people applauded.

Zhao Jingshou's official position wasn't particularly high, but the district head of Shanghai was definitely not a low position either.

The power in his hands was still considerable.

The banquet soon officially began, and the scene was very lively.

"Daddy, I want to eat that."

"And that meat."

Lin Xiaoqian sat on the dining chair. She sat on Lin Chen's left, while Xu Mengyao sat on Lin Chen's right.

Xu Mengyao had thought about letting Lin Xiaoqian sit between them, but when they finally sat down, she still sat on Lin Chen's right.

This would give others a signal that she and Lin Chen were very close, and others would not dare to provoke Lin Chen casually.

The Zheng family was an old family, and Zheng Qingshan and his son were very scheming, but there were also people with fewer assets at their table.

Their scheming might not be that deep.

Some of them might say nonsense after drinking some wine.

"Daddy will get it for you."

Lin Chen said gently.

He helped Lin Xiaoqian pick some dishes.

Lin Xiaoqian tasted it, and her little mouth immediately pouted.

"Daddy, let me tell you a secret."

Lin Xiaoqian looked at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen brought his ear close to Lin Xiaoqian and whispered: "The food here is not delicious. Daddy, you make the best food."

"Xiaoqian, don't be picky about food."

"Otherwise, I'll have Mommy cook for you."

Lin Chen said.

Lin Xiaoqian quickly stuffed a large spoonful of rice into her mouth.

She knew her own mother's cooking skills. Compared to the food in this restaurant, Xu Mengyao's cooking was much worse.

"President Xu, I didn't expect you to be married."

"I'd like to offer you and your husband a toast."

Someone at Lin Chen's table took the lead to start toasting.

——Zheng Qingshan and his son were not at this table. Although the Zheng family was a business family, Zheng Xu's mother's family was powerful. They were at another large table.

"President Li, you're too kind."

"President Li, you are a senior. We should be toasting you."

Xu Mengyao said with a smile.

She was drinking red wine, and Lin Chen naturally drank white wine.

Twenty or thirty minutes passed, and Lin Chen had already drunk a lot. Basically, everyone at their table had already drunk.

Zheng Qingshan came over with a wine glass and a wine dispenser: "Little Lin, that matter was our fault. I'll punish myself with a drink. Little Lin, don't take it to heart."

After saying that, Zheng Qingshan finished the wine in his glass.

Lin Chen naturally accompanied him with a drink.

"President Xu, Little Lin, I wish you a sweet love."

Zheng Qingshan refilled his glass and said with a smile.

He said that, so what could they do?

They definitely had to drink.

Another glass of wine went down.

The wine glasses they used were not big, but a glass of wine was filled to about seven or eight tenths full, which was about five qian. Two glasses of wine was about one liang of white wine.

"President Li, long time no see."

After drinking with Lin Chen and the others, Zheng Qingshan went to drink with the others.

Looking at his appearance, there was no problem. He was definitely a battle-tested warrior who could withstand the test of alcohol.

"Lin Chen, how are you feeling?"

"You usually don't drink alcohol. If you can't drink, don't force yourself."

Xu Mengyao brought her head close to Lin Chen's head and whispered.

He had already drunk two or three liang earlier, and now he had quickly drunk another liang. People who couldn't drink very well might throw up.

"Don't worry, I can handle my alcohol."

"If you can't drink later, I can help you drink some."

Lin Chen said softly.

In the past, his alcohol tolerance was probably only half a jin. Three or four liang would definitely make his head dizzy, but now he didn't feel anything. His physique was much stronger than before.

His physique now exceeded one hundred and eighty points.

This had already surpassed the top boxers.

His combat power was not as good as the top boxers now, but with the blessing of a strong physique, he was definitely good at drinking.

"Lin Chen, without saying anything, I'll drink this first as a toast."

Zheng Xu also came over to drink with Lin Chen.

They were scheming, but if they could openly apologize and still make Lin Chen drunk and embarrassed, they would be happy to do so.

"Lin Chen, President Xu, congratulations to you."

The second glass quickly came again.

"Lin Chen, I'll punish myself with another drink."

After drinking the second glass, Zheng Xu poured a third glass of wine.

Before Lin Chen could speak, he directly drank it all.

Lin Chen also followed and drank a glass. It wasn't a big deal. Did he really want Zheng Xu to punish himself alone?
