Chapter 22.1 - Game Over

 After the magazine is sent to print, the usual practice is to go on leave.

The reason why is because our Big Boss is really a genius. Normally, the days leading up to the magazine release, the editorial department will have to add on night shifts. Night shifts will mean dining expenses, taxi expenses, and overtime pay. Big Boss gritted his teeth and gritted his teeth. The first two expenses were endured, but the last one, overtime pay also couldn't be swallowed.

Therefore on a certain month of a certain year, the administration department issued a notice: There will be no longer be overtime pay, but the rest of the month can be used as a vacation to make up for it. Although there was no overtime pay, CanCan, I and the others were quite vocal about it and were dejected, but nevertheless were generally satisfied with a vacation. During this vacation, all the staff of the editorial department did not arrange activities, because everyone sharpened their knives and prepared to slaughter me, this gorgeous, beautiful, promoted two levels, small cash cow.

Although this young lady was ferociously played with by Ren Han, in light of the debt being paid off, also fished up a promotion on the way, this can also be regarded as sorrow turning to joy, was therefore very outgoing and generously booked a room in a first-rate hot pot restaurant. The editorial department, plus the administrative department's Xiao Zhi, as well as the distributor Xiao Zheng, and journalist Old Xian, who was not concerned with who was paying for the meal, had no face and showed up on time to join in to eat, a group of eight people went out this Friday evening to spend their time drinking and having fun.

**(Note: Lao means old, so Lao Xian is Old Xian)**

Actually, choosing to treat them to this first-rate hotpot, I seriously considered it.

First, the hotpot restaurant is located in Chengdu Tonglulin neighborhood, it is a very well known as a rich area. There are Ferraris floating around here and there, to treat here is top level!

Second, although it is in a rich area, although it is a good hotpot restaurant, they don't get a lot of business, and the most important thing is the soup in the hot pot, the best feature of the hotpot is naturally the soup, after this group of bad money-draining people first drink three bowls of soup, then they will be unable to eat anything more, then I can also economize.

The third and most important reason is that is it easy to sober up drinking the soup. As the only target whose achievements will be toasted to tonight, I have already properly prepared for the most tragic dinner.

Although my old father and old mother can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, however, I am obviously a recombined gene, after just two cups I am sure to get drunk. The most depressing thing is that my body needs three days to completely digest the alcohol, therefore after drinking the wine, it is often followed by a splitting headache and vomiting like crazy.

So in order not to get washed out today, I specifically asked for guidance from my old mother, and my mom taught me the secret know-how: Before you get drunk, either you stop drinking or you drink it and hold it in your mouth and then pretend to wipe your mouth and spit it on the napkin. I chose the latter with great enthusiasm. Although this method is disgusting, it is really useful.

The meal was exceptional harmonious. From Cancan to Xiao Zheng, everyone took turns to salute me with a cup and I also didn't move, even the wine queen Xiao Fu jie praised me as "great". But I could not anticipate that the person who got the last laugh would never be me. I was so proud of myself that I forgot my own cup capacity.

**(Jie/jiejie = older sister)**

At the end of the meal, the beer on the table was also completely gone. when we were hesitating whether to order more or not, Chief Li Zi Ru suddenly took out a bottle from his bag and solemnly put it on the table.

"Drink this, it also counts as a gift for Bai Ning's promotion."

The chatter stopped and then six pair of eyes widened, Cancan with eyes beaming approached the bottle, "This...isn't this a new product from the XX winery?" XX winery, everyone knows that it is one of the very best wine companies.

After Xiao Wei has drunk, he rarely stutters and also hits the nail on the head, "Right, this wine is not yet on the market, right?"

Old Xian touched his chine and had on pondering expression, "Old Li, you have performed ah, I heard that this wine is a 100-year-old wine, and XX winery has priced it at tens of thousands!"

Xiao Zhi counted her fingers and said, "Just one is over 10,000 yuan, this is 500ml. Isn't that one drop is worth hundreds?!"

Xiao Zheng thoroughly ready to boldly and unrestrainedly drink, laughed and clapped and said, "Pretty good, Bai Ning, your promotion is really good, I have not drunk luxury goods yet!"

I was silent, thinking that I also not drank such expensive wine before. Chief is really...if you really wanted to give me a gift, you should have given it to me privately! That way, I can also sell it and earn some pocket money. My heart ached as I watched the Chief giving everyone a cup of it. My mood was heavy.

Looking at the white water worth a few hundred in front of me, I thought that I couldn't bear to spit it on the napkin, so the cup was really...

Half an hour later, I was on an empty stomach + drinking alcohol + my alcohol capacity. These circumstances completely mean its game over...

Game over warning signs: dizziness, laughing foolishly, talking nonsense.

Afterwards, Xiao Fu jie and Xiao Wei confirmed my two cup alcohol capacity. I kept pulling Cancan beside me saying, "Cancan, haha, Cancan, I'm finished, haha, I can't stop laughing, hahaha..."

**(Jie/jiejie = older sister)**

The other two game over warning signs: I fell three times on the way back from the toilet, but unexpectedly I also did not feel any pain at all, but also felt very comfortable on the ground, like I was lying on soft clouds. Therefore the three warning signs have emerged.

I even went as far as losing face and refusing to get up from the ground. I heard the chief shouting, "Waiter, bill." and so cried, "I am very poor, can I pay in installments?"

- As a result, I don't know who paid the money.

- As a result, after I finished saying, "pay in installments", whatever happened afterwards is unknown.

- As a result, exactly how I went out of the restaurant that night, where I went, and finally exactly who took me back home, are all unknown!!!

I only know that now that I have woken up, I feel sore all over, my head feels like it is splitting, and finally, it is very, very strange!!
