Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 103 Hongmen Family Banquet
Sheng Nan stood up and introduced, "This is Fade Chen, my friend."

Then I started to introduce one by one: "This is my father Sun Zilin, this is my elder brother Sun Shenghua, this is the director of our Hunan No. [-] Special Electric Machinery Factory, and he is also the political commissar of Chishan Prison, Bai Political Commissar, this one needs no introduction, right?"

Team Zhang stood up and shook my hand, and said warmly: "Brother, we meet again!" I smiled and said, "Hello, Team Zhang!"

The old man in the center said seriously: "Sit down, listen to Sheng Nan, you are doing sales work in Wanzhong? How old are you this year?"

I hurriedly replied: "Yes, I am working in sales in a subsidiary company of the People's Group, and I am 28 today."

The old man asked again: "How did you know my Katsuo?"

I hesitated how to answer?You can't tell him, because of a murder case?
Shengnan coquettishly said: "Dad, check your household registration, this is a friend of mine in Zhuhai!"

"Friend? You are a girl. You left the military area without making a sound. You are a friend in Zhuhai, and you still live in his house. What kind of friend are you? Don't interrupt!" Shengnan's father didn't sell account.

Team Zhang smoothed things over and said: "Old chief, Fade Chen is the apprentice of one of my comrades-in-arms. You may also know him. He is the leader of our platoon 315. Feng Jingchun!"

Sun Zilin recalled and said: "Ah, I see, that bastard is full of talk about running trains, but he is indeed an expert in the army. Is he in Zhuhai? Call him over. I want to see what he is doing now." How is it?"

Team Zhang looked at me, and I hurriedly picked up the phone and called Lao Feng, and when the phone was answered, I immediately said, "Master, I have an old superior like you here, and I want to see you, don't you know you are in Zhuhai now? "

Old Feng was stunned for a moment, because he had never heard me call him that, and he had never been so polite, so he understood: "I will fly back to Zhuhai tomorrow, and ask him when he will leave. If you don’t go, I will definitely visit you.”

When I told the truth, Sun Zilin nodded and said, "I won't leave for the time being. When he comes back, let him come to me and tell him that he is such a good apprentice, he dares to seduce my girl. He is too brave. Let's see how he explains it to me!"

I thought to myself, I haven't hooked up yet, if I hook up, I guess you will have to punish me on the spot today.

Of course, these words were not told to Lao Feng, because they were told to me.I hung up the phone, Katsuo quit, and complained: "Dad, what are you talking about? Can't I have normal communication? You can't keep dry my private life!"

Shengnan's eldest brother, Sun Shenghua, said, "Shengnan, why are you talking to dad? Dad is also for your own good."

Katsuo retorted: "For my own good, don't interfere with my personal life and work matters. I can listen to you, but my private life is my personal business. Please don't interfere anymore. It has been so many years. Have I ever had my own friends? Have I ever had my own life?"

I saw that something was wrong with the situation, and it started to smell like gunpowder, so I persuaded him: "Shengnan, uncle is also for your own good, everyone stop arguing, I confess, I explain, what do you want to ask? Just ask, I know There is no answer, nothing to say."

The expression on Sun Zilin's face softened a little and he asked, "Who is there in your family? What do they all do?"

I replied: "My father was engaged in scientific research projects before, and later went to work as the vice president of a technology development company. My mother was a crane worker, and later did manual drawing. I also have an older sister who lives in the north and is now a Pepsi food company. sales consultant."

Sun Zilin nodded and continued to ask: "How many girlfriends have you had? Do you like our girl?"

I replied straightforwardly: "I had a girlfriend. When I was in college, I liked your girl very much. She has a pure and straightforward personality, and she looks as beautiful as a fairy."

Katsuo blushed immediately after hearing what I said, and then looked at me ecstatically, as if asking me if what I said was true.

Sun Zilin nodded in satisfaction and said, "I originally planned to find a military family for Katsuo as well. The family is right, but the age is different, and free love is advocated now, and I don't force it. You can fall in love, but there is a The premise is that the normal relationship between men and women is not allowed before marriage."

Katsuo couldn't listen anymore, and said loudly: "Dad, you are too much, and you don't ask my opinion!"

Sun Shenghua coughed and said, "Dad, what Sheng Nan said is right, we should also ask Sheng Nan for his opinion, maybe she doesn't like it? We are thinking too much."

I said with a little embarrassment: "Yes, yes, I am also wishful thinking, I may be self-indulgent."

Katsuo immediately said: "No, no..." Then, not knowing what to say, he was a little anxious and stomped on the ground.

Sun Zilin said: "If you don't like it, just pretend I didn't say it, Xiao Chen, thank you for your hard work, let's go and have dinner together!"

I saw that this was going to drive me away, so I hurriedly stood up and said, "Then uncle, I'm leaving first, I'm sorry to disturb you."

So he stood up and prepared to say goodbye.Katsuo grabbed me and said, "Who says I don't like it anymore, I have to tell them!"

Everyone laughed.

After the tense atmosphere was lifted, everyone became relaxed. Sun Zilin raised his glass and said, "We are a military family. Drinking is inevitable. I don't know how much you drink. But no matter how much you drink, the wine tastes good. You can get drunk, but you can't be intimidated."

I think my drinking capacity is okay, but I also know that someone from a military background must have a strong drinking capacity.He said humbly: "Don't worry, I don't drink enough, let me drink with my gallbladder!"

Shengnan pulled me and said: "My father and my elder brother have been drinking high-grade shochu for decades. They are masters who will never get drunk after a thousand cups and never pour ten thousand cups. Don't brag. I won't care about you for a while." of!

I said confidently: "We can't lose momentum even if we lose? Right?"

Sun Zilin pointed at me and said, "Oh, that's right!"

A fight in the wine field has officially begun.Everyone has a bottle of "Luzhou Laojiao", and no one can pour it for others, and drink their own.

I went back to the apartment after get off work, with an empty stomach, and complained in my heart, but there was nothing I could do, I was drinking with someone who might become my father-in-law in the future, how could I not risk my life to accompany the gentleman.

After two or two glasses of wine, my face turned red, and the alcohol kept churning in my stomach.Looking at the people at the table, all of them were talking and laughing happily without changing their faces or beating their hearts. I knew that I might be done for today.

Sure enough, when I drank the fourth cup, my mouth started to reflux. Knowing that I might vomit, I excused myself to go to the toilet and walked away to take a rest.

Then, I found the front desk, asked for a bottle of milk, and drank it in one go.I found a remote place and rested for 10 minutes before entering the private room again.

There are already 4 bottles of liquor on the table, all of which are empty.What was left of me, I drank the last bit in one quick gulp.Sun Shenghua wanted to go to the car to get it again, but Team Zhang stopped him and said, "That's all for today. No matter how many more, everyone will be overweight." Sun Shenghua looked at his father, and Sun Zilin thought for a while and said, "That's okay. , your morning flight tomorrow will fly to Yinchuan, so let's just have some more beer." Sun Shenghua agreed.

When the drinking game was coming to an end, Sun Shenghua's eyes were a little blurred. Political Commissar Bai had a big stomach, but he was the worst drinker among us, so he raised his hands early and surrendered, leaving Sun Zilin, Team Zhang and me.Sun Zilin seemed to have an alcohol filter. From the beginning to the end, his expression was indifferent, as if he was convinced of you.

Team Zhang didn't take this drink to heart at all. He was a comrade who had been tested by alcohol and was born immune to alcohol.

I looked at Katsuo begging for help and said in a low voice: "Drink it again, you will really carry me home."

Katsuo expressed helplessness, and she couldn't help it either.

Originally on the wine table, there are still some tricks, such as taking a sip of wine and holding it in your mouth, and then looking for opportunities to pretend to wipe your mouth and spit it on a tissue or towel.But at this table, it is absolutely not allowed to play tricks like that, I dare not and I don't want to.

But the wine was too much to drink, I finally lost the battle, the sour water reversed, and I was about to vomit, so I ran out of the private room and ran to the toilet.Then before reaching the toilet, he vomited at the door, and walked inside while vomiting.After vomiting cleanly, he walked out slowly, saw his vomit at the door of the toilet, went into the toilet again, found a mop, and started to clean up.

After cleaning up, I saw Katsuo standing aside and looking at me, I said awkwardly: "I made the place dirty, I'll clean it up."

Katsuo smiled and said, "I see, you have great potential to be a cleaner."

After I vomited cleanly, my head cleared up a lot, but my stomach felt a little uncomfortable. I didn’t eat anything, and the water in my stomach was almost vomited up, so I said: “Can you stop drinking, if you drink again, you will have to go to the hospital. Or, let me eat something, I haven't eaten anything since noon!"

Katsuo said with a bit of distress: "Then what are you trying to do? Are you still wounded?"

I cried and said, "You think I'm thinking, my father-in-law wants me to drink in the future, so I dare not work hard?"

Katsuo hit me and said, "Shameless, who is your father-in-law!"

I smiled and said, "I don't know who is my father-in-law, but I do know who is my wife!" After speaking, I gestured to kiss Shengnan.

Katsuo avoided it easily, and said, "You think beautifully! Go in, it's been a long time, they should worry."

When I got back to the private room, I sat down. The food and drink had already been removed, and there was a tea set on the table. Sun Zilin was chatting and drinking tea with Team Zhang. Seeing that I was back, Team Zhang asked me: "Are you okay?" I shook my head Said: "I have something to do, I'm too hungry." Sun Zilin and Team Zhang looked at each other and laughed.

Sun Zilin said: "See, we all forgot. We just drank when we came up, and didn't ask if you had eaten. Sheng Nan, go and order two bowls of porridge."
