Chapter 11
Chapter 11 A Game of Whac-A-Mole
In the Roman Hall, there was a table for ten; a soft and luxurious carpet was on the floor and the cutlery on every table was very specific. There was also a television in the room and a fridge, filling the place with a homely atmosphere.
The four people sat at the ten-people table, which appeared slightly empty. But Tong Lei enjoyed this feeling tremendously. The etiquette girl came to the room and left after placing the meal card. Following which, there were two waiting staffs who came over—one offered up the menu, and the other poured drinks for everyone—their service was very pleasant.
Being the host, Tong Lei familiarly flipped the menu to the page of the most delectable seafood and pointed with his finger. “Give me four of this.”
“Wow! Tong Lei, I love eating abalone the most.” Sitting at one side, Xiao Xi said happily, “Only, it is worth One Thousand and Eight Hundred per piece. Normally I would not let other people have it; you are so generous!”
Tong Lei laughed; the more people praised him, the more self-satisfied he became and following which, his finger moved. “Come, have another one.”
“Heaven Nine Fins!” Yang Shiwen looked at Tong Lei. “Let the four of us just have a simple meal; why to order such expensive shark fin?”
“Haha Shiwen, your family is the richest in the East China Sea, how dare I be stingy when I treat you to a meal?” Tong Lei appeared self-satisfied, as if the more someone was shocked and dumbfounded someone was towards him, the more face he had.
“There’s nothing much with the rest; just order a set of A-grade seafood feast then.” Tong Lei waved his hand grandly, appearing very domineering.
This time, don’t talk about Xiao Xi and Yang Shiwen; even those two service staff were shocked for a while.
“Master Lei, the A-grade seafood buffet is a total of sixteen dishes—you four will not be able to finish all of it!”
“Master Lei, you four ordered the A-grade set, which seems a bit of a waste!”
Being the service staff of the five-star hotel, they naturally liked to promote the expensive dishes to their customers. This way, the service staff would be able to get a high commission. But at the same time, they would also pretend to think about the customers’ best interests. The two service staff cajoled Tong Lei one after the other but in reality, they could not be happier.
“No worries!” Tong Lei said, laughing. “The A-grade seafood is only fifty-eight thousand; as long as we are happy while eating it, it’s fine.”
Liu Feng laughed, looking at Tong Lei pretend, and did not say a thing.
This time, Tong Lei looked towards Liu Feng. “Big Boss, look at this; what beer should we drink?”
Liu Feng said, “If you eat seafood then don’t drink beer. It’s easy to cause gout; just serve white wine.”
“Just as I thought.” Tong Lei said, “Serve two bottles of Maotai.”
“How is two bottles enough?” Liu Feng raised his hand and gave a hand sign of six. “Come deliver one box!”
Huh!
This time, all the people present, including the two service staffs were shocked. Maotai was a white wine of 52 degrees. One bottle was half a kilogram, and one box had six bottles; that meant three kilograms of high degree white wine! The two men, drinking three kilograms of white wine; was this to drink wine, or to play with someone’s lives?
“Why? Men can’t drink more white wine?” Liu Feng laughed, saying, “Tong Lei, didn’t you get into the capital’s military college? When you get into this prestigious college, you would be the country’s soldier. As a man who is a soldier, you can’t be too lazy!”
“Who said I was lazy, bring it on!” Tong Lei waved his hand. “Bring one box here, and let those two beauties have fruit juice.”
The two service women’s lips twitched at the same time; since Master Lei had already said this, both of them could only follow on the order.
A few minutes later, all the dishes on the menu were sent.
The four promptly started to eat but Tong Lei had only eaten two mouthfuls of food when he voluntarily opened a bottle of white wine. He first poured out a cup for Liu Feng, and then another for himself.
“Big Boss, today since we are meeting for the first time, even if I truly don’t like you, but your energy, and your verve, I am in awe! Come, let me give you a toast.” Tong Lei raised his wine cup and finished drinking the wine with a toss of his head.
Ha!
After toasting, Tong Lei made a broad move.
“Wow! Tong Lei, a cup of two and a half, you hold it in for a while,” Xiao Xi said, chewing his sea cucumber and saying at the same time.
“Heh heh, no worries, drinking the wine like this is quite refreshing.” Tong Lei laughed, and inverted the wine cup that was in his hand, not a single drop remained inside.
Yang Shiwen did not utter a sound but secretly looked at Liu Feng.
Liu Feng smiled and raised his wine cup and tossed his head backwards to finish drinking the wine.
What was different from Tong Lei was that when Liu Feng had finished drinking his cup of wine, he did not even yawn. It was as if he had finished drinking a cup of plain water. His calmness completely trumped Tong Lei.
“Big Boss, good capacity for liquor, haha!” Tong Lei put down his beer cup and returned to his own seat and started eating vegetables to suppress the effects of the liquor.
But this time Liu Feng stood up again and took an initiative to fill up Tong Lei’s cup, then pouring wine for himself, saying at the same time, “Tong Lei, initially, taking you little brother in was not my intention. You have the madness of the Fuerdai and even have the habit of pretension; you are really not worth my keeping. From you, I really cannot find even one positive point, but…”
Puff!
Hearing Liu Feng’s words, Xiao Xi, who was listening from the other hand, almost spurted his drink in laughter. Even Yang Shiwen’s shoulders were shrugging.
And Tong Lei himself, his skin was originally black and this time, his whole face seemed to change into the colour of the bottom of the pot. D*mn, what did he mean by saying that he could not find a single positive point?
Liu Feng continued to say, “But eventually, that you are able to admit defeat, I say that you still have some sense in you! If you don’t even have such sense, then you won’t be fit to enter the military college or become a soldier. For your little sense, let’s toast!”
After saying these words, Liu Feng raised his head, and it was another toast.
“Good!”
Tong Lei really felt like he was a man with a lot of guts after hearing Liu Feng’s words. Thus, he agreed.
The two men each made a toast and a bottle of Maotai was gone.
Later, Liu Feng reached out to open another bottle and filled two empty bottles up as well.
“Still drinking?”
“Shiwen, this handsome bodyguard can drink, can’t he?”
Xiao Xi, who was sitting and watching by the side, looked shocked. This took just a small effort that a bottle of Maotai had already been finished and another bottle had been opened?
Seeing Liu Feng’s look, his face not changing expression and not changing his tone, there was definitely no worries. But Tong Lei’s blackened face had already turned red and even his breathing had become rough considerably.
Tong Lei was not incapable of consuming alcohol but after drinking two cups, he had finished the 0.25 kilogram of wine and felt that he had eaten a bit too much.
But Liu Feng did not think of letting Tong Lei off so easily. He filled up the two cups of wine and touched the cup, saying, “This cup is to celebrate Shiwen’s recovery of health. Cheers!”
Grumble!
Liu Feng’s wine-drinking attitude was truly unconstrained. A cup of wine gulped down the throat with a “gulu” sound.
At the same time, Tong Lei’s throat also emitted a “gulu” sound, and he forcefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
“Tong Lei, drink up? Don’t tell me you can’t move already?” Liu Feng turned the wine cup over and similarly, the wine cup did not leave a single drop of wine.
“Of course I can finish the wine! Drink!” Tong Lei looked up and also finished the wine in his cup.
But Tong Lei’s wine cup had just put down when Liu Feng had already extended the bottle over and again, helping him fill it up with wine.
“Tong Lei, you still have to toast a cup, to celebrate you making it to the capital’s military college.”
Rumble!
Speaking which, Liu Feng had finished drinking the wine.
“Good, this wine must be toasted!” Tong Lei pursed his lips saying and casually toasted too.
This way, the two men had already finished he two bottles of white wine, which was equivalent to each person having drunk a half kilogram.
But this was not finished yet. Liu Feng opened the third bottle of Maotai again.
“Come, Tong Lei, for us having beaten Sun Chengfeng that rascal today, let’s have another toast.”
“Toast!”
Gulu!
“Readily! Come, for friendship, give another toast!”
“Toast!”
Gulu!
“Continue, for us being men, let’s have another toast!”
“Toast!”
Gulu!
“Come again, for…”
“Toast!”
Gulu!
…
“Continue, continue… hey! Where’s the person?”
The two men toasted one after the other. A box of Maotai was worth six bottles and it was already five bottles down in less than 15 minutes.
2.5 kilograms of 52 degrees white wine, was divided into two and 1.25 kilograms of wine each. When Liu Feng opened the last bottle, and found Tong Lei again, he discovered that this brother had already gone.
Puff!
This time Yang Shiwen and Xiao Xi were laughing but the two great beauties were laughing miserably.
“Liu Feng, you’re vicious!” Yang Shiwen pouted her small lips saying.
Xiao Xi raised her finger and pointed at below the table, shaking her small head saying, “The person is below the table, sigh! Looks like he will need you to carry him downstairs!”
Ha!
This time, even Liu Feng was smiling, but after passing this round of wine battle, Liu Feng’s impression of Tong Lei improved, which proved that Tong Lei was still a man with some guts.
“Fine, let’s eat first. Only after eating, will l have the energy to carry him!”
Liu Feng took up the chopsticks and started to wolf down his food. A table of scrumptuous seafood had become demolished by Liu Feng alone in less than twenty minutes.
They should know that the A-grade seafood spread was a sixteen-course delicacy. Because of the wine battle just now, Liu Feng and Tong Lei had almost not eaten, and how much could these two sisters eat even if they kept on eating continuously?
“My Heavens!” Xiao Xi turned her head to look at Yang Shiwen. “Shiwen, can you afford this handsome bodyguard? For a single meal, he had to drink several bottles of Maotai, finishing the whole fifty thousand yuan worth of A-grade seafood buffet; even if you were the richest family of the East China Sea, it must be hard paying for him in the long-term?”
Yang Shiwen raised her hand and curled the strand of hair under her ear, smiling. “Xiao Xi, let me send him to you then; you take care of him.”
“Forget it, I’m not as rich as you.” She put out her tongue.
At this moment, Liu Feng placed down his chopsticks and rubbed his belly with both hands saying, “I’m finished eating; if not it’s not good for digestion.”
Cheh!
Yang Shiwen and Xiao Xi pouted their small mouths at the same time.
Just at this time, the room of the Roman Hall was violently opened by people from outside. Ten over macho men dashed in in a short period of time.
“Brother Feng! They are in this cabin; I was watching them all the time!”
“Brother Feng, there are three people inside, and two are beautiful ladies!”
“Brother Feng, should I open it?”
This crowd appeared one of the most powerful; some of them were still holding onto metal poles in their hands.
Among them, a youth whose face was bloated also walked to the front from the crowd. He stared at Liu Feng from his triangle eyes and his lips curled into a cunning smile. “Liu Feng! Do you think that you had beaten me up for nothing at Ke Da? Aren’t you very crazy? Didn’t you say at the front door of Ke Da that in future there would only be you, the only one Brother Feng. Haha, now would you dare…”
Ping… Ka!
The comer was naturally Sun Chengfeng. he thought that he had brought a ticket to beat him and would surely scare Liu Feng’s both legs to jelly. In the end, before waiting for him to finish his words, an empty wine bottle flew to his face and immediately smashed him to the ground. The smashed glass pieces flew in large pieces and a few sharp glass bits were lodged in his face.
“Damned! If I were you, I would have beaten people up the moment I came in; why would I waste so many words; am I courting death? With your IQ, I really can’t understand how you would live to such an age!” Liu Feng laughed and after scolding Sun Cheng Feng, turned his head to look at Yang Shiwen and Xiao Wei. “Two beautiful ladies, have you played the game of Whac-A-Mole? I’ve played that game and the one that I played was very intense, please perform for us.”
