“Three glasses? Sure.” Jacob nodded. It was quite rare that emotions had gotten the better of him, no
matter how slight it was.
With his current physique, a few glasses of beers were nothing to him. Everyone else in the room was
probably weaker than him.
Soon, under everyone’s gazes, three glasses of beer were gulped down by Jacob without a flinch in his
expression.
After he poured his fourth glass, he lifted his glass and looked at Matt, amidst the smell of alcohol.
The latter pulled a long face. With a frown, he gulped down his glass before returning to his seat. After
all, he was not an idiot – he just liked to bully people who could not drink.
“Jacob, in just a few years, your tolerance for alcohol is getting really good!” From across the table,
Colin smiled at him. His gaze stopped at Jacob’s slightly gray hair for a moment before continuing

have already been working for a few years just in the blink of an eye.”
A rather good-looking woman sitting next to him said coquettishly, “Colin, you are the most successful
among us, so stop being wistful about the past!”
“Me? What success have I achieved?” He gave a wave. “After so many years, I’m just a little secretary
of the Paramount Chamber of Commerce. Geoffrey is even more successful than me – he’s a
university lecturer now!”
“Hey, don’t mention my name here!” While chewing on some ribs, he waved his hands. “I’m just a poor
teacher.”
Upon hearing that, the crowd guffawed loudly.
The secretary of the Paramount Chamber of Commerce? Looking at the polite smile on Colin’s face,
Jacob nodded to himself.
Recently, he had started working with Paramount Chamber of Commerce and Draco Chamber of
Commerce, so he knew a bit about them. Because of that, he knew how prestigious the Paramount
Chamber of Commerce was.
Even though he graduated from an elite university, it’s quite an achievement to be the secretary of the
Paramount Chamber of Commerce in just a few years. Colin is quite impressive indeed! After all, even
dad’s cousin, Kevin, only managed to be promoted from a secretary to a supervisor in eight years, and
he used his wife’s connections. On top of that, he’s also good at making connections.
Jacob raised his glass to give a toast to Colin before he gulped everything down in one go.
When he was training in the Sea of Blood overseas, Colin was the few classmates he thought of
occasionally.
After giving him back a toast, Colin smiled and wanted to say something. However, at this moment, the
door was opened. When he saw who it was, his eyes lit up immediately before he quickly got up to

“Haha, Mr. Ramos, I hope I’m not interrupting you guys!” A middle-aged man with a beer belly said with
a wide smile on his face as he held a glass of beer.
“Not at all, Mr. Vasquez!” Colin was all smiles.
“Did you see that? Our class lead is so capable! Even the CEO of the Grand Imperial Hotel came to
welcome him!” Someone at the table arched his eyebrows as he said proudly.
“Here’s a toast for all of you. Thanks for coming over today!” Mr. Vasquez lifted his glass high in the air
as his gaze swept past everyone in the room.
Colin returned to his seat to fill up his glass. In a humble tone, he said, “You’re too polite, Mr. Vasquez!
Here’s a toast from us as well!”
Seeing how the CEO of the hotel with a net worth of billions came here personally, even the ladies also
lifted their glass of fruit juice to join the crowd.
After everyone took their share of drinks, Mr. Vasquez said a few more perfunctory remarks before
leaving with a smile.
