Chapter 2: Lin Zi had all kinds of birds

  Zhang Sen didn't make Ma Pei wait until the last night before they left the city to see him, but instead called him the day after he stormed off, asking him to go out and have some fun.

  At midnight, the two people who were already exhausted from strolling around still had a strong desire to have fun. After casually finding a place to eat some late-night snacks, Zhang Sen made a phone call to confirm that nothing would happen tonight that required his attention. The two of them then discussed going to a bar to drink and have a good time.

  Ma Pei said that in order to make up for his wounded and fragile heart, Zhang Sen must shed some blood, compensate for his spiritual loss, and proposed to go to the city's most expensive and largest "Dream Paris" to drink. Zhang Sen made a painful expression, as if biting his teeth and unwillingly agreed.

  Upon arriving at "Dream Paris", Zhang Sen, who had always been deeply interested in architecture, hadn't even had a chance to appreciate the luxurious French-style decorations when Ma Pei's sudden shout of "Bartender, bring two dozen Holsen Pils!" startled him. Never mind the exorbitant price, but two dozen? It would be strange if they didn't get drunk! To think that just now, while having a late-night snack, the two had already drunk quite a bit, and Ma Pei was already showing signs of being tipsy!

  He hastily pressed down Ma Pei's hand and shouted: "Are you crazy? I've already sold a dozen, if there are more, I won't sell them individually."

  Ma Pei laughed and said: "You're scared just by two dozen? Don't worry, I'm here, how could it be your turn to pay the bill? Do you still remember the first time I invited you to drink Holsen Pils? The advertising slogan was 'Enjoy life, steal a leisurely half-day, wait for good wine to accompany you.'"

  "Are you drunk already without even drinking? I may not have as much money as you, but am I the kind of person who runs away with debts? Two dozen? Are you planning on staying overnight and sleeping here?"

  Ma Pei was about to speak when a loud noise suddenly came, attracting the attention of many people. The two turned their heads and saw that next to them, a man had violently grabbed a slender woman and lifted her up like a small chicken. On the ground was a shattered vase!

  At this time, the music also stopped. The whole hall heard the big man fiercely roaring: "What are you pretending to be in front of me? Don't you dare not listen to my words? Say, will you obey or not?"

  The woman cried out: "I just came here for promotion, you let me drink with you and I drank, why are you bullying me like this?"

  That big man threw the woman to the ground, sneering and saying: "Since you're out doing this, don't pretend to be a virgin with me. You won't agree to sleep with me? Are you here to promote this foreign wine? Want to drink? Fine, then you'll finish all of this wine for me. Otherwise, I'll beat you to death!"

  Everyone followed the big man's pointing direction and looked up, involuntarily taking a breath of cool air: On the table, there were neatly lined up more than 20 bottles of red wine, and the big man actually wanted the woman to drink them all!

  Ma Pei glanced at Zhang Sen beside him, only to see Zhang Sen's eyes suddenly turn cold and stern. He said in a low voice, "The wine can't be drunk anymore. Listen, don't let people notice that you know me. Watch the excitement, then go back to the hotel and sleep."

  Before Ma Pei could finish his words, Zhang Sen had already walked away without looking back. Ma Pei's heart suddenly rose to his throat.

  Zhang Sen calmly walked up to the big man, under everyone's gaze, and reached out to pull up the trembling girl who was sitting on the ground. He then helped her sit down on a nearby sofa. Only after that did he stand up, smile, and say to the big man who was staring at him in disbelief: "Brother, we're all just trying to make a living, it's not easy for anyone. Give me some face and let her off. You wanted to drink, didn't you? I'll keep you company. If it's not enough, we can order more. I'll pay the bill."

  The big Han looked around, suddenly burst out laughing loudly, pointing at Zhang Sen with his hand, and said to his companions beside him: "He wants me to give him face? What a big forest has all kinds of birds! Why should I give you face? Which onion are you, which garlic are you? Give you face! I rely on!"

  The person next to him couldn't help but laugh. Zhang Sen still smiled calmly and said, "I'm not asking you to give me face, I'm saying, give Zheng Datong some face, or you can give Xu Lao Da some face if you want, either one is fine."

  Zhang Sen's words had not finished, the laughter was already abruptly cut off. The big man and his group stared blankly at him, waiting for him to finish speaking. By the time he did, the big man's jaw had dropped: "This brother, which faction are you from? How can you mention both Zheng Lao Da and Xu Lao Da?"

  Zhang Sen smiled and said, "I'm not from any of the halls, but Zheng Lao Da and Xu Lao Da still have to give me some face. So, regardless of whose face you're looking at, let this girl go. If you want to drink, I'll treat."

  "Isn't it said that I, Li Qiang, don't dare to sell out Zheng Lao Da's face? As for Xu Lao Da, he and I are mixed up together, he is my boss. How come I've never heard of someone like you?"

  Zhang Sen sneered: "If you don't believe me, call Old Xu to come over. I reckon he won't dare not give me this face."

  At this time, a little brother next to the big man suddenly shouted: "I know who he is!" He hurriedly approached the big man's ear and said something. The big man was shocked: "Really? You didn't mistake him for someone else?"

  "It can't be wrong, I saw him at Lao Da's place a few days ago," said Xiao Di affirmatively.

  That big man turned to face Zhang Sen, already with a smile on his face: "Since you've spoken up, I'll let her go. It's my honor to drink with you, brother. How could I dare let you treat me? I'll treat us, and we can have a few good cups together."

  Zhang Sen let out a sigh of relief, smiled and said: "Thank you, big brother, for your kind intentions. However, since you already know my identity, it seems a bit inappropriate for me to drink with you here. How about this? I'll take the girl away, and you all can continue playing on your own."

  He said no more and ignored them, pulling the girl out with him. Ma Pei let out a breath of relief and hastily followed.
