Du Ming chuckled twice, "Didn't you vow to solve the poison I set for you? Now you're worried? Come on, just say 'Du Ming is amazing' and I'll teach you."

  "Pah!" Zhao Yu'e spat at him in anger, "Anyway, this task is yours too. If I can't detoxify and get delayed at the Liu's house, I won't be able to proceed with the next step of the plan. When the time comes and the task isn't completed, you'll have to deal with it!"

  "Alright, alright," Du Ming said helplessly, taking out a tissue and a pen to scribble down some medicinal names on it. He handed the paper to Zhao Yuexin, "Follow this prescription to prepare the medicine, decoct it over three days, and have Liu Junyuan take one dose each day. After three days, his poison will be cured, and your reputation as a young medical genius will spread."

  "What do you mean by that!" Zhao Yuexin was displeased, "You're speaking as if I'm all talk and no action, just a name with no substance."

  Du Ming gave her a meaningful smile without saying anything.

  The next day, Du Ming accompanied Yun Cai to the company as usual. As soon as they arrived at White Rose, two people handed over a document to Yun Cai.

  "Director Yun, today we are going to discuss cooperation with Director Zhou of the Zhou Group. He has an appointment with us at 9 o'clock, what time should we go see him?"

  Yun Cai looked at her watch and it was already past eight o'clock. "It's already past eight, let's go now! You go call Du Ming to drive the car, where is the meeting point?"

  "In Tiancheng Hotel, it's not far from our company and we have plenty of time."

  Yun Cai nodded and White Rose went out to call Du Ming, who was accustomed to dozing off in the office, to go pick up the car.

  Du Ming lazily drove downstairs and opened the car door. Yun Cai and Bai Mei Gui came down together and got in the car. The three of them rushed to the Tian Cheng Hotel.

  Yun Cai arrived at the hotel and reported her name. The waiter respectfully led the three people to a private room door, opened it for them, and invited them in.

  This private room is extremely spacious, with exquisite murals hanging on the walls, wallpapered, and a long table in the center covered with snow-white tablecloths. A young man in a suit sits behind the long table, and behind him stand several burly men.

  On the long table were several wine glasses, and a few bottles of colorful foreign liquor in a container filled with ice cubes. A young man wearing a suit saw three people come in, took out a bottle of wine from the container on the table, picked up a wine glass, poured the wine into the glass, raised his hand to toast them, and took a sip.

  Yun Cai walked calmly in front of him and said: "Hello, I am Yun Cai, the president of Yue Meng Group. May I ask if you are the person in charge of Zhou Shi Group?"

  The young man slowly raised his head and said, "I am Zhou Chengda, the chairman of the Zhou Group. You are Yun Cai from the Yue Meng Group, huh, you're quite pretty."

  Yun Cai looked at him with a spoiled expression and frowned secretly, "Director Zhou, we are discussing cooperation today, may I ask if you have brought a specific contract?"

  "Contract? Hmph," Zhou Chengda coldly snorted, "I didn't bring a contract, did you, Cloud?"

  Yun Cai suppressed her dissatisfaction with Zhou Chengda and said, "I've brought it."

  "Alright," Zhou Chengda said with a sneer, "then bring it here and let me take a look."

  Yun Cai took out a file folder from her bag and placed it in front of Zhou Chengda, "Alright, please take a look."

  Zhou Chengda picked it up and flipped through it casually, then tossed it onto the table again, plopping down into the chair with his arms draped over the backrest. "I won't bother reading it carefully, I'll just say it straight out - I can agree to your conditions."

  Yun Cai was taken aback and exclaimed: "You said you can agree to this contract?"

  Zhou Chengda smiled slyly and nodded, "Mm, but there's a condition," he pointed to the wine bottle on the table, then pointed to the person behind him, "If you can drink with us today and outdrink me, I'll sign without saying another word. If not, forget it."

  Yun Cai exclaimed in surprise: "But this is a business cooperation between two groups, how can it be decided by such a trivial matter? Moreover, you have so many people on your side, while we only have three."

  Zhou Chengda smiled sinisterly and said: "My decision is like this today, if you want to cooperate, Cloud General, then come on. If not, then we won't cooperate."

  Yun Cai furrowed her brow tightly, remembering that a few days ago when Lu Bingyun was filming an advertisement for the Yue Meng Group, some thugs came to cause trouble on set. Du Ming caught the thugs and interrogated them, finding out that they were instructed by Zhou Chengda, and the reason was that Lu Bingyun had refused Zhou Chengda's dinner invitation due to her shooting schedule with the Yue Meng Group.

  It seems that this knot was tied long ago, and Zhou Chengda is now deliberately making things difficult for himself.

  Yun Cai reluctantly got up and left, since the other party was unwilling to cooperate, she didn't want to waste her time here either.

  Unexpectedly, Du Ming suddenly walked up beside her and said, "Alright then, come on, let's drink together."

  Zhou Chengda was taken aback and hadn't expected anyone to agree with his request. He sneered, "Fine, since you're willing to send yourself to death, then drink with these few people."

  He gave a few orders to his subordinates, and they hastily went out and came back soon, pushing a cart with countless varieties of high-alcohol liquor inside.

  Du Ming picked up a bottle and said calmly, "How about we compare? Or let's just do the simplest thing, one person one cup, whoever drinks first loses, what do you say?"

  Yun Cai pulled at him worriedly, "Du Ming, don't be stubborn, there are seven or eight people over there."

  Du Mingchong waved his hand at her, "It's okay, I haven't lost to anyone in drinking yet."

  Zhou Chengda obviously didn't believe that Du Ming could drink with these seven or eight big men. With a wave of his hand, "Alright, come on!"

  Du Ming grabbed two cups, slammed them on the table, twisted open the wine bottle in his hand, and poured it into the two cups. "Please, everyone, who's first?"

  One of the big men walked up, grabbed a cup and drank it in one gulp, then slammed the cup on the table, staring provocatively at Du Ming.

  Du Ming smiled slightly, picked up another cup and also drank it in one gulp.

  Du Ming immediately picked up the wine bottle and refilled the two cups. He grabbed one cup and drank it all, while the big man followed suit and also finished off the other cup.

  The two of them drank like this, one person one cup, and they had drunk over ten cups. The big man was already unable to stand steadily, but he still forced himself to drink another cup. Finally, he fell down drunk, dazedly crashing onto the ground.

  Du Ming stood calmly beside him, his face not even slightly red, and casually poured himself another half cup of wine to drink two mouthfuls. He looked at the remaining people with a leisurely gaze, "Come on, who's next?"
