Chapter 26: Kicking Someone's Ass

  Chu Tian Shu saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he came out to mediate and said: "Qi Ke, from now on, the Secretarial Department and the Comprehensive Department will not be divided. Since Huang Li and Xiao Min can't drink, I think it's fine to just forget about it."

  Zhidaguan today at the wine table earned enough face, he looked at Huang Li and Zheng Xiaomin, smiled and said: "Today is Xiao Chu doing host, then guest follow host convenience."

  Zhao Pingyuan was not happy at all: before coming out, he said it was good, wanting to let Chu Tian Shu lose face on the wine table. Oh, now you've stepped on several people's faces and earned face, but you've forgotten your original intention. What did Chu Tian Shu say? You still take it seriously.

  At this, Zhao Pingyuan also couldn't care about Huang Li's feelings. He stood up with a fierce momentum and said loudly: "Come on, men and women are equal, everyone has to drink. Whoever doesn't drink is not considered part of the office."

  Everyone was shocked!

  Zhao Pingyuan was being stubborn and General Chu Tian Shu looked at Zheng Xiaomin with some difficulty.

  No, can't let Chu Ge be embarrassed!

  Zheng Xiaomin didn't hesitate for a moment, she plucked up her courage, picked up the cup and stood up, saying: "Well, since everyone doesn't treat me as an outsider, then I'll first toast to Brother Chu."

  Zheng Xiaomin's father, Zheng Tufu, is a good drinker. Zheng Xiaomin grew up licking the wine-stained chopsticks, and has never tried to test his drinking capacity, so he dare not say how much he can hold. However, he absolutely does not have any fear of alcohol.

  Chu Tian Shu was deeply moved for a moment.

  Zhao Pingyuan was puzzled, at the critical moment, Liu Chunna, Zheng Xiaomin, including Qian Meihua, were willing to stand up for him to relieve the siege. What kind of magic did this kid use to make these women one by one rush out to support him?

  Chu Tian Shu didn't back down this time and instead had a drink with Zheng Xiao Min before Qi Da Guang.

  Zheng Xiaomin filled his cup with wine and walked in front of Qi Daguang, then drank it all in one gulp.

  Chu Tian Shu took a look at Zheng Xiao Min drinking quite fiercely, and hastily stood up to block him. "Qi Ke, your leadership is still strong, even Xiao Min didn't hold back, come, let me toast you again, learn from you, first drink as a tribute."

  Zhi Daguang saw Huang Li hesitating and not making a move, and he felt somewhat dissatisfied. The men and women of the Comprehensive Department were all vying to be the first, why were the people from the Secretarial Department twisting and turning, not daring to come out?

  Zhao Pingyuan was in a difficult situation, so he pulled on Huang Li's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Go, pay respects to Jing Qike."

  Huang Li lowered her head and muttered: "I really can't drink."

  Chu Tian Shu didn't want to make Huang Li uncomfortable, so he proactively suggested: "Huang Li, if you can't drink then don't force it, let's substitute tea for wine, and I'll clink cups with you." As he spoke, he walked over holding his wine cup.

  Zhao Pingyuan's face turned red and white, misinterpreting Chu Tian Shu's kindness as a joke. He stood up in anger and said: "Chu Tian Shu, why can the comprehensive department people drink on their own, but our secretarial department people have to substitute tea for wine? Huang Li, speak up for yourself, drink this cup! If there's any problem, I, Zhao Pingyuan, will take full responsibility."

  This sentence still moved Huang Li very much, she took over the cup handed over by Zhao Pingyuan, raised her head and drank a glass, because of drinking a bit urgently, she coughed repeatedly.

  Zhao Pingyuan hastily handed a tissue to Huang Li.

  As soon as he caught his breath, Zhao Pingyuan refilled the wine cup and urged: "Huang Li, have another cup with Qi Ke."

  It's really unbearable to watch Huang Li, Qian Meihua stopped him and said: "Xiao Zhao, that's enough, the point is made."

  Zhao Pingyuan glared and said: "What's going on? Qian Dajie, are you reading the joke from the Secretarial Department?"

  Qian Meihua gave him a white eye and didn't make another sound.

  Huang Li, with Zhao Pingyuan's support, toasted Qi Daguang again with a cup.

  As it turned out, Qi Daguang became the person who drank the most at the wine table.

  Two cups of white wine down, Huang Li's face immediately turned red like a ripe peach, attracting the men present to stare at her pretty face.

  Zhao Pingyuan was also delighted and began to instigate Zhang Guoping and Wan Peng to attack Chu Tian Shu.

  Fan Yibing has been holding back, and now he's finally launching a fierce counterattack. He's fighting side by side with Chu Tian Shu, parrying every blow, and countering every move. On one hand, they're fending off the attacks of Zhao Pingyuan and his men, while on the other hand, they're joining forces with Liu Chunna and Zheng Xiaomin to entangle Qi Daguang.

  After a round of drinking games, the comprehensive department didn't lose out at all, instead, they got Qi Dagu drunk to the point of dizziness and Zhao Pingyuan drank to the point of extreme depression.

  Zhang Guoping and Wan Peng saw that things were not going well and knew they couldn't gain an advantage, so they retreated from the battlefield first.

  It was getting too much for Huang Li, she really couldn't take it anymore, covering her mouth as she rushed out of the private room.

  Zhao Pingyuan was still entangled with Chu Tian Shu, persuading him to drink, and didn't notice at all.

  In just a moment, Huang Li rushed in with a pale face.

  "What's wrong?" Zhao Pingyuan hastily put down his wine cup and asked with concern.

  "He...he..." Huang Li stammered, pointing outside the door in a panic.

  Qī Dàguāng was extremely excited, he patted his chest and started boasting: "Huáng Lì, don't be afraid, I'm here. Don't mention anything else, within the range of Qīngyuán City, I, Qī Dàguāng, can handle everything."

  The words had barely fallen when the door of the private room was "banged" open.

  A chubby little fellow with a big head and thin neck rushed in, his eyes fixed on Huang Li's body, grinning strangely as he stretched out his hand to grab Huang Li and drag her outside. His mouth was filled with the smell of alcohol as he cursed and scolded: "Little girl, run, follow me, I'll see where you can run to. Come on, accompany me for a drink."

  This is really infuriating, being bullied right at one's own doorstep.

  Drunk and exhilarated, Zhai Daguang's face turned red with rage as he bellowed: "What the hell is going on? Get him out of here! Zhao, throw him out!"

  It's a loss of face to watch one's girlfriend being bullied in front of everyone!

  After hearing Qi Daguang's order, Zhao Pingyuan jumped out like he had taken a stimulant, rushed forward two steps, lifted his leg and kicked Xiao Pangzi in the stomach.

  The little fatty was drunk and completely unguarded, lying on the ground and cursing: "Damn it, you're so annoying to live, dare to kick my ass."

  Zhao Pingyuan took advantage of his victory and counterattacked, kicking Xiao Pangzi's buttocks several times, kicking him out the door.

  He slammed the big door shut with a "bang", stretched out his hand to support Huang Li, and scolded: "Damn it, dare to move against my brothers, I'll kick him to death."

  During this time, Chu Tian Shu remained expressionless and silent.

  In dealing with people and things, he grasped a cautious principle, knowing himself and others, safety first.

  For someone like Tian Keming who knows the root of the matter, you can collect debts without any scruples; however, for those who are unclear about the situation, it's best to remain calm, try to settle the matter peacefully and avoid being impulsive unless absolutely necessary.

  Zi Daguang burst out laughing and shouted: "Xiao Zhao, you kicked well! As Xia Chu said, my people, even the King of Heaven is not allowed to move. Ha..."

  The laughter had barely faded when the door of the private room was kicked open with a loud bang.

  Zhidaguan's laughter got stuck in his throat, and everyone turned their heads towards the door.

  Two men wearing white suits blocked the doorway, with a little fatty following behind them.

  First was a young man wearing glasses, who stared gloomily at Zhi Daguang and asked: "If your people, the Heavenly King, can't move, why should my people be able to move freely?"

  Zhi Daguang's face turned pale with shock at this sight.

  The young man sat down on the sofa with a swagger.

  Immediately, a man in white clothes brought in a set of Kung Fu tea sets from outside and placed them in front of the young man, respectfully pouring a cup of tea.

  The young man slowly picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and gazed at the people in the room with a playful yet sinister glint in his eye, as if he was about to start playing a game of cat and mouse.

  Zhao Pingyuan had one hand shielding Huang Li, the other grasping a wine bottle, his face vigilant as he watched the approaching person, striking a pose of heroic protection.

  Everyone looked at Qi Daguang together.

  Zhidaguan stood up from his seat and walked over to the sofa, chuckled and said: "This brother, may I ask your surname and given name?"

  The young man smiled slightly and said, "My surname is Kong, and my name is Er Gou. I'm honored that a group of friends outside call me Brother Er." As he spoke, Kong Er Gou gave Qi Da Guang a meaningful glance.

  "What?" Zhi Dagu stared at Kong Erdou with wide eyes, half-believing and half-doubting, asking: "You're... Second Brother?"

  "Not bad." Kong Erdou nodded his head.

  My god, today I've really run into trouble, Qi Daguang sighed in dismay.

  Who is Kung Fu Dog?

  That is one of the maintainers of several underground orders with a certain reputation in Qingyuan City.

  Zhi Daguang had also heard of this person, but he had never seen him in person.

  "So you're Second Brother, huh." Qi Daguang's face suddenly took a 180-degree turn, and he smiled obsequiously: "Second Brother's great name is like thunder in my ears; today I'm lucky to meet you, it's truly a once-in-three-lifetimes honor."

  Zhidaguan has his own philosophy of doing things, that is, a great man can yield and stretch, he is very clear in his heart, whether in the officialdom or in the rivers and lakes, there are some people who cannot be offended.

  Chu Tian Shu also heard it and took a cold breath.

  This guy, Kong Er Gou, was mentioned by Wei Shi Jie before. He was brought back from Northeast China by Qin Da Ming, the boss of Qingyuan City's Jing Tian Real Estate Company. In the Jianghu world, he is known as a "laughing tiger" who is cunning and ruthless in his actions, with a soft exterior that hides a sharp needle inside. Since his arrival in Qingyuan, the underground power dynamics that had been maintained for years have undergone a drastic change.

  Kong Erdou's temperament and his notorious reputation don't quite match, he looks like a complete white-collar worker, with a pale complexion, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, speaking in a gentle and refined manner, without uttering a single swear word.

  "Qin Shao, come here. Find the person who kicked your butt." Kong Erdou turned his head and said slowly to Xiao Pangzi.

  The little fatty walked out from behind the white-clothed man and pointed at Zhao Pingyuan and Huang Li, saying: "It's this pair of dog-like men."

  Kong Er Gou glanced at the two of them and asked: "Qin Shao, what do you want?"

  The little fatty said viciously: "Men crawl out, women take back."

  "Didn't you hear?" Kong Erdou picked up his teacup and asked the two men in white behind him with a serious face.

  "Yes." The two men in white clothes responded loudly, with some momentum.

  The man in white forced Zhao Pingyuan and Huang Li into a corner at the door of the package room.

  Zhao Pingyuan's wine bottle crashed to the ground, his eyes seeking help from Qi Daguang.

  Chu Tian Shu calmly scanned the entire scene, ready to take action at any moment.
