Chapter 283 - 155: Yikes, Don’t Tell Me She Wants Me to Be Her Boyfriend
Yan Can was so scared he immediately tried to stop him. "Brother Xu, you can’t risk your life like this!"
"Yeah, man. He’s right."
Others in the crowd also tried to persuade him, "We’re all just having fun here, messing around. Don’t joke around with your life."
"That’s right, that’s hard liquor, not beer. Don’t be reckless."
"Thanks, everyone. I know what I’m doing."
Under everyone’s disbelieving gazes, Xu Yun, relying on the "Thousand Cups Unintoxicated" Skill granted by the system, chugged the entire bottle in one go.
"*Burp—*"
He’d downed it so quickly he couldn’t hold it back.
Xu Yun turned the bottle upside down on the table, smiled, and said, "I’m finished. Your turn."
Xino was utterly shocked.
When the surrounding crowd saw Xu Yun finish the bottle and act as if nothing had happened, they were all stunned.
"Holy shit, dude, you’re a legend!"
"Damn, he’s a god of wine!"
"Badass!"
"If I brought him to a business dinner, he’d be invincible!"
A few women in the crowd couldn’t help but laugh. "Nuomi, you might just end up sleeping with him tonight."
"Nuomi’s really met her match this time."
"Why don’t you just give up, Nuomi? It’s no disgrace, haha..."
"It’s rare to see Nuomi on the losing end. What a sight."
Faced with everyone’s teasing, Xino’s face, already slightly flushed from the alcohol, turned an even deeper shade of red.
She stared at the bottle in front of her and, steeling herself, prepared to chug it just like Xu Yun had.
Even though her limit was only two bottles.
But...
’I’ll do it! If he can do it, so can I!’
Seeing this, Xu Yun reached out, took the bottle from her, and placed it back on the table. "Alright, that’s enough," he said. "I lose. I’ll cover everyone’s tab tonight."
’They were right. Fun is fun, but it’s not good if someone gets hurt.’
’This Xino girl clearly doesn’t come from an ordinary family. I don’t want her parents showing up at my door later.’
’It’d just be unnecessary trouble.’
Xino said, flushed with shame and anger, "What, are you looking down on me?"
"No, I just think everyone has different capabilities, just like fingers have different lengths. There’s no need to push yourself like this."
Xu Yun smiled. "We all came out here to relax. Winning or losing isn’t important. We shouldn’t let things get so tense and ruin our good mood."
"He’s right. Nuomi, you should stop messing around."
Just then, a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing a full suit, walked over.
Yan Can leaned in and explained in a low voice, "That’s Nuomi’s older brother, Xi Wei. He’s also the silent owner of this bar."
Xi Wei had just arrived. When he heard his sister was in a drinking competition with a customer, he immediately came over and saw what was happening.
It was obvious at a glance who was the better drinker.
He certainly didn’t want his sister sleeping with someone, but thankfully, the other party had taken the initiative to concede, giving his little sister a way out.
This left a very good impression on him.
Even though the man had conceded, he couldn’t possibly let him pay for the whole bar. That would be far too shameless.
Xi Wei said with a smile, "Everyone, the drinks are on me tonight."
After dismissing the crowd, Xi Wei gave Xu Yun another polite smile, then dragged his sister away.
Although Xino was a little reluctant.
"Brother Xu, your alcohol tolerance is insane!"
Yan Can said with envy, "You just drank a whole bottle and you’re totally fine!"
"I told you I could drink."
"Then what was that earlier about your stomach hurting? When you went to the bathroom?"
"I had a bit of diarrhea."
"Uh, and here I thought you were drunk."
Yan Can laughed. "Too bad Nuomi’s brother showed up. Otherwise, you really might have gotten to sleep with her."
"Sleep with her, my ass. I was just joking."
Xu Yun laughed. "I just said if I won, she’d have to accompany me tonight. I never said she had to sleep with me!"
Yan Can stared, dumbfounded.
’Damn it,’ he thought. ’The way you said it, who the hell wouldn’t think you meant sleep with her?!’
Xu Yun asked curiously, "By the way, what does Xino’s family do?"
"I can only tell you that it’s related to the energy sector."
Yan Can warned, "If you can avoid messing with them, you should. Even if you had really won and wanted to sleep with Nuomi, I would have advised against it."
"Alright, I get it."
Once Yan Can said that, Xu Yun understood the situation.
’Any family in the energy business is not to be taken lightly. And being powerful isn’t just about having money.’
"By the way, that short drama project I mentioned is about to launch. How much are you planning to invest?" Xu Yun knew why Yan Can had sought him out.
’Some things you don’t need to wait for the other person to say. You have to learn to bring them up yourself.’
"A little over three million."
Yan Can said, "I’m doing this behind my family’s back, so that’s all I could scrape together. Is it enough?"
"It’s enough. That’s one-fifth of our total investment."
Xu Yun said, "Go to my company tomorrow and find President Su to sign the contract. We’ll give you a share of the profits."
"Okay."
Yan Can happily raised his glass. "To getting rich together!"
The two of them sat in the bar for a while longer. Three more people came over to greet Xu Yun—one woman and two men.
They handed Xu Yun their business cards. One’s family was in the toilet business, the other was in apparel—both well-known brands.
Unfortunately, Xu Yun didn’t have a business card to give them, explaining that he was famously unemployed.
The woman even exchanged WeChat contacts with him, a clear sign that Xu Yun had left a good impression on her.
’After all, what woman doesn’t want a boyfriend who’s handsome, rich, and has a high EQ?’
Yan Can was incredibly envious, remarking that not a single woman there had ever proactively asked for his WeChat.
’After all, the women here aren’t gold diggers; their own families have mines.’
Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Yun and Yan Can got up to leave. Just as they reached the bar’s entrance, they suddenly heard someone call out to them from behind.
