“Mr. Ning, it’s not about the money…” The manager was sweating.
The man in front of him was the young master of the Ning family. He knew he couldn’t afford to offend him, but offending the other young master was even worse…
Ning Yichen saw through it and sneered, “So, you’re saying I’m not qualified?”
“Of course not! Mr. Ning, please don’t misunderstand.” The manager wiped his sweat, “I really have no choice. Please accept my apologies.”
Ning Yichen pursed his lips, “I’m not making things difficult for you. Just tell me, who is competing with me for this bottle of wine?”
The manager’s cold sweat flowed even more.
Su Lianxi finally couldn’t hold back and angrily said, “Hey, don’t you know what first come, first served means? We’ve even paid the deposit, and now you’re changing your mind last minute! Do you think we’re easy to bully?”
“Miss Su, I’m sorry…” The manager was almost in tears.
“Forget it, Lianxi.” Ning Yichen gave her a reassuring smile and then said to the manager, “Bring a bottle of Latour. You don’t need to refund the deposit.”
The manager was overjoyed and quickly agreed, leaving the private room in a hurry.
Su Lianxi still fumed, “Yichen, why let it go?”
“Someone is trying to make things difficult for me. Why should I make things difficult for a manager?” Ning Yichen smirked, “It’s fine, I know what’s going on.”
Su Lianxi finally gave up, though her face still showed displeasure.
This episode left Su Guo’an and others somewhat unhappy. Su Zixi, however, enjoyed the drama and her appetite came back, so she ate nonchalantly.
At this moment, the manager came in again.
He was pushing a cart with a bottle of wine chilled in ice. Everyone in the private room assumed it was the Latour Ning Yichen had just requested.
Unexpectedly, the manager pushed the cart next to Su Zixi and forced a smile, “Miss Su, this is… a gift from a guest in the neighboring private room, who specifically requested it for you.”
Su Zixi was stunned, and the others were also taken aback.
The manager, wiping his cold sweat, picked up the bottle of wine. Several eyes focused on the label, and soon Ning Yichen laughed angrily, “An ’82 Lafite?”
The manager trembled.
Su Zixi also couldn’t help but gape, “For me?”
“Yes…” The manager squeezed out a smile, took out a corkscrew, and with a pop, opened the bottle, pouring half a glass of wine for Su Zixi, “Please enjoy.”
His hands trembled as he poured the wine.
Honestly, when the young master requested this bottle, he didn’t think much of it. But when he found out who it was for, he nearly knelt.
Just a moment ago, he had begged Mr. Ning for understanding, and now he was delivering this “troublesome” wine to someone else in the same private room. The manager couldn’t help but wonder if the young master had a cruel sense of humor.
Su Zixi stared blankly at the aromatic wine in front of her, thinking… the auction price of an ’82 Lafite was said to be several hundred thousand… A wine worth hundreds of thousands, my gosh, what extravagance.
As the manager pushed the cart away, the private room remained so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Thus, Su Zixi calmly picked up her glass and took a gulp… She wasn’t savoring the taste, she was drinking money!
“Su Zixi,” Ning Yichen said coldly, “Do you have a problem with me?”
“Is it Young Master He?” Su Lianxi suddenly blurted out.
As soon as her words fell, Su Guo’an and Lin Shuyue’s faces changed.
