Chapter 186 Drinking
Upon hearing this, Xu Ye remained calm, but Yang Ling looked at him instead.
After all, she didn't know Xu Ye well, and the reason she agreed to his cooperation proposal was simply because she had no other choice.
And now he actually claims that his family owns shares in the Jiangcheng Hotel.
And as high as 8%?
real or fake?
If it's true... then the Yang family's chances of being saved will undoubtedly be much higher.
Just as he was thinking this, Xu Ye smiled and raised his hand: "Russell, Manager Luo."
"Mr. Wang, Manager Luo is the star of Jiangcheng Hotel. You can't poach him, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to my father at home."
All eyes immediately fell on Russell's face, who remained calm and said, "Although Mr. Xu rarely comes here, he is indeed one of our hotel's shareholders."
"Mr. Wang, since you are Mr. Xu's friend, you are also a distinguished guest of our Jiangcheng Hotel."
"If you need anything or are dissatisfied with anything, you can contact me anytime."
These words undoubtedly confirmed Xu Ye's statement, and Yang Ling was immediately overjoyed, becoming quite excited.
The fact that someone from out of town can own an 8% stake in a hotel in Jiangcheng, and even have investments and businesses across the country, undoubtedly demonstrates their family's strength.
This is at least a wealthy young master with a net worth of hundreds of billions, whose strength is by no means inferior to that of the Yang family.
With such a helper, the Yang family's chances of getting through this crisis will undoubtedly increase by at least 30%, or even more!
Mr. Wang was still somewhat skeptical and said, "Manager Luo, aren't you going to give me your business card?"
Yang Ling looked at Russell again, her fists gradually clenching.
Will she give it to me?
If you give it to me, then it proves that Xu Ye's words are true, and that he really didn't lie to anyone from beginning to end.
But if they don't give it to me...
She suddenly tensed up again. If her identity was fake and she was exposed now... wouldn't tonight's plan be over before it even started?
Just as she was worrying, Russell's voice rang out: "Mr. Wang, what are you saying?"
"You are, after all, Mr. Xu's friend. If I were to hand you my business card in front of Mr. Xu, wouldn't that be overstepping my bounds?"
Mr. Wang laughed heartily: "As expected of the Jiangcheng Hotel's reputation, you really know how to talk! Mr. Xu, do you mind?"
Xu Ye waved his hand: "Why would I mind? Manager Luo, since President Wang thinks so highly of you, you must treat him well for me in the future."
"If you treat him well, Mr. Wang can also introduce business and customers to you."
Russell then took out his business card and respectfully handed it to President Wang: "President Wang, I hope to get your help in the future."
Mr. Wang took the business card, glanced at it, and said meaningfully, "No problem, I'll definitely look after you if I have the chance in the future."
"Then I'll go to the kitchen now and personally arrange for someone to serve the dishes."
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Wang, please have your drinks first. I'll come back to toast you later."
Watching Russell walk out of the private room with an air of nonchalance, Yang Ling's hands, hidden under the table, were already clasped tightly together.
It's true... Xu Ye's background is far beyond my imagination!
President Wang also looked intently at Xu Ye, his brows furrowed tightly.
To hold an 8% stake in Jiangcheng Hotel, one must have a net worth of at least 10 billion yuan and sufficient background.
This is assuming the person is a local, and then taking into account that the other party is from out of town...
That would be more than a matter of tens of billions; it's simply impossible for anyone who isn't a true aristocratic family or a powerful clan.
So here's the question: can someone from a wealthy family of this caliber really be won over with just a bowl of soup?
And most importantly, they also had to give up Yang Ling, the beauty they had almost gotten their hands on...
No, screw it. No matter how awesome this kid is, can he be harder than his boss?
Tonight, he'll at most spare the kid's life, hoping to make him give up the easy prey that's already in his grasp?
Dream on! Don't even think about it!
Soon, the door to the private room was pushed open again, and a small cart filled with drinks and dishes was pushed in.
Russell personally picked up a bottle of aged wine, poured it into a decanter, and distributed it to everyone.
After the door to the private room closed again, Xu Ye was the first to raise his glass and stand up: "President Wang, since I am the host, let me first toast everyone."
"Thank you for gracing us with your presence, Mr. Wang. This toast is a wish for your business to flourish, for your success, and for your wealth to grow daily."
"Thanks for your support, brothers. I won't say much more; it's all in the drinks. I'll drink it all, everyone else, feel free to drink as you please!"
After saying that, Xu Ye raised his glass and poured all the wine in it into his mouth in one gulp.
The people brought by President Wang did not express their opinions, nor did they even touch their cups, clearly waiting for their boss to set the tone.
Mr. Wang raised his glass with his right hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Xu, thank you for your kind words, I'll drink this glass!"
Seeing this, the others picked up their glasses and echoed, "Thank you, Mr. Xu..."
Yang Ling raised her glass as well, but only took a small sip.
As they toasted and drank, the atmosphere gradually became more lively.
After Xu Ye had drunk a full round, President Wang gently tapped the table.
Following this action, someone immediately raised their glass and stood up.
"Come on, Mr. Xu, let me toast you. I'm a rough man, so I won't waste any more words. Thank you for your hospitality, please!"
Before Xu Ye could even speak, he downed a whole glass of wine in one gulp.
Clearly, this is the beginning of getting Xu Ye drunk.
If he doesn't drink, it's disrespectful to President Wang. Then there's no need to say anything more; President Wang doesn't even need to speak. His men can shut them up.
This was exactly what Xu Ye and his companion wanted, so naturally they didn't refuse and cooperated fully.
Sure enough, the second one came up immediately the next second.
Having discerned the other party's intentions, Xu Ye naturally accepted their offer without hesitation, drinking with them whenever they asked, leaving no room for criticism.
But Yang Ling began to worry. She didn't know Xu Ye's alcohol tolerance, which was indeed their initial goal. But even if Xu Ye was made of iron, he couldn't handle such a drinking pace.
How long has it been? It's already almost half a pound, but she hasn't even had a chance to make a move yet.
She started to get anxious and tried several times to hint to Xu Ye to stop drinking, but he didn't even glance at her.
She's really getting desperate. Aren't you afraid of drinking yourself to death?
She was extremely anxious, but Mr. Wang's eyes were full of smugness.
You think you can mess with me? You don't even know your own worth!
But that was clearly not enough. He hardened his gaze and gave his men another signal.
Soon, someone stood up, picked up a bottle of wine, and went up to him: "Mr. Xu, judging from your accent, you're not from Jiangcheng, are you?"
Xu Ye seemed to be drunk, and slurred, "I'm from Jiangshi Province."
The man was overjoyed: "What a coincidence! I'm also from Jiangshi. No wonder I felt close to you when I saw you. We're from the same hometown!"
"Come on, just for this reason, shouldn't we have a few more drinks?"
Xu Ye, his eyes glazed with drunkenness, said, "Yes...yes, I need to drink a few more cups."
"Let's start with three drinks!"
Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the man poured six glasses in one go: "One of the four great joys in life is meeting an old friend in a foreign land. Three glasses are not enough. I'll drink first as a sign of respect. Mr. Xu, you absolutely cannot refuse me this honor!"
