"Come, I'll take this first drink to toast to Old Ye, I thank Old Ye for, despite his status as a Grandmaster, getting mixed up in these trivial matters of our Monitoring Bureau," Yan Wenli raised his glass and said aloud.
"Even a Grandmaster has to eat. I'm supported by your Monitoring Bureau, you all pay me a salary every month. If I don't do work for you, who am I going to do it for?" Ye Shenyi was polite in his words, but still clinked glasses with Yan Wenli, and the two men downed the strong spirits in their glasses in one go.
