After dinner.

In a guest room on the first floor of the villa.

Dong Xuebin's head was spinning, and he drank the tea handed over by Xie Huilan.

There were only two of them in the room. Xie Huilan couldn't help but shake his head and said with a smile, "Show off, if you can't drink it, just don't drink it." The Power of Time and Wealth 324

"They are offering me a drink, why don't I drink it." Dong Xuebin held the chair dizzy, "If you don't drink, where will you put your face? If I lose my own face, I can't lose yours." If it were a dinner party in Yantai County Leaders, Dong Xuebin It doesn't matter if you don't drink. If you can't drink, you can't drink. But this time the situation is different. If you can push, you can push. If you can't push, you have to drink even if you are drunk. Sometimes, face is much more important than your body.

Xie Huilan smiled and smoothed the collar of his clothes, "Isn't it considered that you have made a meritorious service?"

Dong Xuebin said yes, shook You You and said, "Hui Lan, why are you so gentle today."

"Haha." Xie Huilan's eyes narrowed into a slit, "You always think I'm not gentle? Don't you?"

"Khan, no." Dong Xuebin said quickly, "I was gentle before."

Dong Dong Dong, Xie Hao knocked on the door and told them to come out. The elders were leaving.

Whether Xie Guobang or Xie Guoliang, everyone present was busy one after another. Of course, they couldn't stay for a long time. At half past seven, several people left one after another, and only was left. Ci Lifen, an elder, originally said to stay and sit with Old Master for a while, but a call came from his work unit. It was urgent. Ci Lifen embarrassedly said goodbye to everyone and drove out of the villa.

Old Master Xie and a few juniors are the only ones left in the family.

Xie Ran called Xie Huilan, "Sister, something happened."

"Yeah." Xie Huilan nodded, "Let's talk upstairs. Let's go."

Over there, Healthcare Doctor was getting "medicine" for Old Master Xie. After Old Xie drank the "medicine", he closed his eyes and fell asleep on the sofa. From beginning to end, he never looked at Dong Xuebin, let alone talked to him. As soon as Xie Huilan left, there were fewer people in the room. Dong Xuebin wanted to leave but couldn't find an excuse, so he could only sit and drink tea with his eyes wide open. From time to time, he would say something harmless to Xie Jing and Xie Hao, not to mention how awkward it was.

Feeling dizzy and having to endure the depression, Dong Xuebin was extremely uncomfortable.

Seeing Xie Hao and Xie Jing sitting next to Old Master Xie talking to him, Dong Xuebin felt itchy with hatred, thinking that Old Master Xie is enough to remember Damn it, I just contradicted him a few times, and I beat him once in chess. Look at how generous you are, and you don't even bother to talk to me. If I had known, I would have given you a Wild Ginseng from the 1950s. I gave you a five-year-old... five-month old one, which is more or less the same.

How annoying!

Suddenly, Xie Hao relieved Dong Xuebin from the awkward situation, "Brother-in-law, let's go to Backyard to practice boxing!"

"Okay." Dong Xuebin wished he could leave as soon as possible.

But who would have thought that Old Master Xie spoke up. He said to Xie Hao, "If you want to practice boxing, you can do it yourself." After saying that, Old Master stood up and walked towards the stairs, " Little Dong, play chess with me." Healthcare Doctor smiled, looked at Dong Xuebin, followed Old Xie's steps, and helped him go upstairs.

Dong Xuebin was stunned, playing chess? What do you mean?

Xie Hao became excited when he heard it, "I'm watching the game too!" He knew that Dong Xuebin was very good at chess.  The Power of Time and Wealth 324

However, Old Master Xie, who was going upstairs, said, "Don't you want to practice boxing?"

"Hey, if there's a lot of fun, why don't I practice boxing? Count me in!" Xie Hao loves to join in the fun.

Xie Jing was much more discerning than him. After hearing what Old Master said, she immediately grabbed Xie Hao, glared at him, moved her chin in the direction of Dong Xuebin, and shook her head slightly. This scene made it clear that Old Master wanted to sit alone with Dong Xuebin, so Xie Hao would not cause more "chaos" if he went. Xie Hao understood immediately and sat down on the sofa depressedly.

Dong Xuebin braced his head and followed upstairs.

In a room with antique furnishings, Old Master Xie sat behind a mahogany desk and gestured to Dong Xuebin to sit down too.

The servant had already laid out the chess set, and then went out with Healthcare Doctor. Only Dong Xuebin and Old Master were left in the room.

Old Master Xie didn't say anything or was polite. He picked up the red flag and jumped.

Dong Xuebin is a little confused and has been ignoring himself. Why did he suddenly find himself playing chess? But at this point, he can only accompany him to the end. He grabbed the black chess and lost one move, two moves, five moves., ten moves, twenty moves. This time, there were no chess masters watching, and Dong Xuebin couldn't cheat. The winner was decided in the first game in just ten minutes. Of course, Old Master Xie won.

Old Master Xie looked at him and said, "Have a good time."

Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly, "It was a fluke that I won you last time. In fact, my chess skills are not very good."

"... Come again." Old Xie let him go first this time.

The second set ended again after twenty minutes, and Old Master Xie still won.

There was no impatience on Old Master Xie's face, and he suddenly said, "You're not serious? Then I'll stimulate you." He called the servant, "Bring me a bottle of Maotai, two cups." Then Old Xie looked at Dong Xuebin and said, "The next game starts, whoever loses again will get one cup."

"Ah? What, I can't drink anymore."

"... Then take it easy."

"Sweat, I feel so good."

Dong Xuebin's protest had no effect, and the chess game started again.

In the third set, Dong Xuebin lost again and was punished by one drink. He stiffened his neck and poured the Moutai from the Baqian'er cup down his throat. It was burning and his head was even dizzy.

The second cup...

The third cup...

After a few games of chess, Dong Xuebin was already dizzy. He really drank too much this time.

"Come on." Old Master said.  The Power of Time and Wealth 324

Dong Xuebin belched and reached out to grab the chess piece, but after four or five attempts, his hand was still empty. In the end, he picked up Old Xie's pawn and moved it forward, as if he were jumping on a horse.

Old Master Xie was amused by him, "Which country are you playing this game from?"

Dong Xuebin said angrily, "I can't play anymore, I can see... I can tell, you just want to trick me, yes, trick me!" He said with a big tongue, "I... I won't be fooled by you, hehe, I won't... I won't..." With his hands on the chessboard, Dong Xuebin was swaying, already drunk.

Old Master Xie said, "No more? Then chat with me."

Dong Xuebin glanced at him in confusion, "What are we talking about? We have... we have... a generation gap, and we can't pee in the same pot." As the saying goes, drinking can make people cowardly, not to mention that Dong Xuebin has never been a coward. Man, after drinking so much wine, he didn't even know how brave he was. He stood up from the chair unsteadily, walked forward, and sat down on the big Old Xie chair, "Well, it's you... your chair is comfortable."

Old Master Xie looked at him funny, moved away a little and left him to sit, "How do you know we can't have a conversation if we haven't already? Find a topic and let's talk."

"What... topic?" Dong Xuebin smacked his lips, "Then... just tell me why you have such a... face. I'm not telling you, your face is too... ugly. If you have any objections to me, you... just say it, just say it!"

"With a straight face?" Old Xie shook his head and said with a smile, "What do you know, you brat? Before I retired, I was smiling all day long. Do you know what Hui Lan looks like, right? She's just like her. She wants to smile when she sees the people, but she can't do it to the people. You should smile too seriously when you see an official, so that no one can know what you are thinking. You should also smile when you see officials from other countries, so as not to cause a diplomatic conflict between the two countries. Laugh, laugh, laugh. I have been laughing for decades, I am tired of laughing, and I am tired of laughing. After I retire, I can no longer laugh even if I want to."

After listening, Dong Xuebin suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged Old Xie's shoulders, "It turns out... that's it, Lao Xie, it's not easy for you either!"

Old Xie's eyebrows jumped.

Dong Xuebin patted him on the shoulder hard, "Lao Xie, be open-minded, it's okay, you... have you seen me? Didn't you see me? Whenever I do something, the leaders and colleagues in our county all... all point at me and make irresponsible remarks, saying that I am too young, too impulsive, this is bad and that is wrong, I also... also know that sometimes I do things without thinking. I know the consequences, but something has happened to you, and you have to do it if you are forced... If I don't arrest our Police Station relatives, what will my colleagues think of me? If I... don't go to the police station to ask for an explanation?"

Dong Xuebin became more and more excited as he spoke. He patted his chest hard and said, "What happened to me being impulsive? What happened to me if I did something wrong? To the people... I have a clear conscience! Even if one day I am deprived of my official position! I am walking on the street! Walking on the road! I can even hold my fucking head up! I am worthy of my conscience!"

Old Master Xie heard this and laughed, "With a clear conscience! Okay! Okay!"

"Lao Xie, I just discovered... that you are quite... very pleasing to the eye!"

"Haha." Old Xie said with a smile, "After living for so many years, this is the first time someone has given me this evaluation. It's pleasing to the eye, um, good words!"

Healthcare Doctor, who was standing outside the door, couldn't stand listening anymore, so he hurriedly opened the door and came in, "Little Dong, you've drunk too much, come on, follow me downstairs, and don't disturb Old Xie's rest!" He was really convinced by Dong Xuebin, and he dared to say anything outside after drinking some wine, Lao Xie? How dare you scream!

Dong Xuebin glared and said, "We are talking about it excitedly, where are we going downstairs!"

Old Master Xie smiled and said, "We had a great time chatting, it's none of your business!"

"Old Master."

"Get out, get out!" Old Master Xie waved Healthcare Doctor away, and then said, "Little Dong, continue."

Dong Xuebin hooked up with him and said, "What else are you talking about? By the way, tell me about your engagement to... Sister Xie. I'm not talking about you, Lao Xie, you didn't do this properly..."

"This matter, do you know what I was thinking at the time?"

"I don't care about you... I don't care what you think, you are just unreasonable anyway!"

In the room, Old Xie's loud laughter could be heard from time to time, and the two people's voices could be heard downstairs. ro
