Shi He's drinking capacity is average, while Cao Xiaolou is quite different. His drinking capacity is one of the best in the entire Gaoshui County officialdom.
In no time, a bottle of liquor was consumed, and when Cao Xiaolou opened the second bottle, Shi He repeatedly said, "County Magistrate Cao, let's stop for tonight, I really can't continue."
Cao Xiaolou couldn't be bothered with him, twisted open the cap and tossed it aside, filled a cup, sipped and asked, "When is the meeting?"
Shi He, a bit muddled from drinking, didn't immediately comprehend the question and asked blankly, "What?"
"Standing Committee meeting." Cao Xiaolou said, "I stepped down, so someone has to fill my position. When does Secretary Xie plan to hold a meeting to decide this matter?"
Shi He responded sluggishly, "Next Monday."
Cao Xiaolou asked, "Is it Gao Qi?"
"Yes... Ah, no, I'm not sure." Shi He quickly shook his head.
