Chapter 29 My Master is Very Zen

That night.

Beijing.

The comments, criticisms, discussions and attacks on Xiao Yu by major Internet platforms, major media and major bloggers of Dongda University are still ongoing.

However, the "bosses" of these platforms were already in some elegant and fragrant private club, toasting Xiao Yu with all their might.

"It's my turn, it's my turn! Mine!" Mr. Liu from the video watching website company raised his glass with both hands and walked in front of Xiao Yu: "Master, please allow me to toast you with one glass... No, three glasses! I really didn't expect, really, that one day I would meet a master like you! Master! I would even be lucky enough... lucky enough to become your disciple."

"Yeah." Xiao Yu remained in a half-lying sitting position and slightly raised the Sprite in his hand in response.

"No amount of words can express my gratitude and admiration for you. Master, it's all in my mouth."

"It's all in the wine." Zhao Xiansheng, who was standing by, was shocked and quickly corrected.

"Yes, yes, it's all in the wine. It's all in the wine. Master, I was too nervous." Mr. Liu panicked and subconsciously clenched the wine glass.

"..."

Inside the venue, the other CEOs immediately stopped whispering.

Pairs of eyes silently observed Xiao Yu's facial expression.

Xiao Yu: “…”

Xiao Yu had no expression on his face.

Then Mr. Liu's expression would start to look ugly...

The assistants of the CEOs present were experienced in the workplace and understood the "air" instantly. They stood up one after another and slowly left the center of the dining table in confusion.

An invisible pressure gradually sank into everyone's heart.

"...Master." After swallowing hard, Mr. Liu felt a little breathless.

"..."

"..."

"Clap."

At the scene where you could hear a pin drop, Xiao Yu gently put down the Sprite with a crisp sound.

But the ears of everyone who heard it seemed to be painful.

"Did you do it on purpose or by accident?" Xiao Yu asked.

"I didn't mean to do that! Master! I...I...I was nervous and said the wrong thing!"

"Oh." Xiao Yu nodded, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "That's okay. Drink it."

In the huge private club restaurant, the almost stagnant air suddenly became flowing. The CEOs started talking and laughing happily again.

The assistants also breathed a sigh of relief and carefully sat back in their seats.

"Thank you, Master!" Mr. Liu's corners were covered with sweat. He picked up the wine glass and drank three glasses in a row with "gulp", "gulp", "gulp"!
"Master...Master, I'll toast you three more cups." Resisting the discomfort in his stomach, Mr. Liu humbly bent over and took three gulps.

"That's enough." Xiao Yu kept smiling and pressed his wrist: "If you drink any more, Boss Wu will go bankrupt."

"Hahahahahaha..."

All the bosses in the audience stopped talking immediately, and all of them and their assistants burst into laughter.

Obviously, they have never heard such humorous words after decades of dominating the business world.

"Master, you are right." Boss Wu, who was wearing a slim white dress, held her cheek with her left hand and picked up the wine bottle with her right hand, shaking it slightly with a seductive look: "This bottle of mine is the green grass stored in our club. If it weren't for you, Mr. Liu wouldn't even be able to taste it. Look, he finally got this opportunity, and he's drinking non-stop."

"Ha." Xiao Yu laughed: "Is that so."

"Hahahaha-"

The whole audience burst into laughter again.

"Ms. Wu, you won't feel bad about your wine this time, will you?" a boss joked.

"Pah." Lady Wu curled her beautiful tender lips.

"Actually, alcohol... I didn't like it very much before." Xiao Yu learned to speak slowly without any instruction.

All the bosses present immediately quieted down and listened to the holy words.

"Because. It's spicy. It doesn't taste good. I feel dizzy after drinking it." Xiao Yu shook the Sprite in the cup: "But now I think this thing is... pretty good."

Everyone tilted their heads in unison, trying to understand carefully.

"What's good about it?" Xiao Yu took a sip of Sprite and smacked his lips: "At least. It can test whether a person is sincere and honest."

"Yes." A certain CEO nodded repeatedly. "Yes." A certain CEO agreed deeply.

"Master, these words are profound!"

"Master is not only our guide on the path of cultivation, but also our elder on the path of life."

"Come, come, come. Let's raise a glass to Master and us fellow disciples..."

Wait until all the bosses have finished toasting loudly and enthusiastically.

Xiao Yu changed his sitting position and continued to chatter: "So, Mr. Liu drank six cups in a row, which shows his sincerity. As for me, I will also show my sincerity."

With that said, he stood up.

"Wow--"

Everyone in the audience immediately stood up.

"Come on, Xiao Liu. I'll drink it." Xiao Yu drank the Sprite in the glass in one gulp.

"it is good!"

"Pah, pah, pah, pah—"

There was thunderous applause in the restaurant.

"Sit down, everyone." Xiao Yu pressed his hands slightly and took the lead to sit down.

Everyone took their seats.

Mr. Liu, who was watching the video on the Internet, also wiped his sweat and returned to his original position.

"Pa pa." Mr. Wang, the CEO of Slow Hand Company, who was sitting next to Xiao Yu, calmly tapped the table with his fingers.

A white female secretary sitting behind him immediately stood up and respectfully filled Xiao Yu's glass with Sprite.

"Excuse me." Xiao Yu crossed his legs and said, "As for me, wild boars can't get used to eating rice bran, so I just like these things that children drink. Don't mind it, everyone."

"Master, what are you talking about?"

"It's a shame for us."

"Actually, I also like to drink Sprite. It's very refreshing."

"Hey, hey, pour me a cup too... gulp... hiss... fuck, this stuff feels so good when it enters my mouth..."

After watching the performance of the capitalists for a while, Xiao Yu picked up the glass filled with Sprite again and said in a sacred voice: "But..."

The huge restaurant fell silent again.

All eyes were focused on Xiao Yu.

"But. The wine is good, but the glass is not." Xiao Yu looked at the crystal glass in his hand, pursed his lips and shook his head: "Drinking wine is like drinking food. But how can food not be grounded? So I think that to drink good wine, you have to use a wine glass made of No. 42 concrete. Solid. Stable. Grounded."

Everyone in the audience: “…”

"...Master...what you said makes sense!"

"Wait a minute, this seems a bit Zen! Let me think about it."

"Wine is just a thing in a cup, it's erratic and unstable. If you want to build a great road... build a foundation with cement!"

"You... don't really rhyme."

"That's exactly what I meant. Don't be so stubborn, Mr. Wang."

"Master wants us to understand a truth. Although fine wine is delicious, we must calm down."

"Why didn't I think of that?"

"No, no. Master's advice is that even the most refined and finest wine must be tainted with some of the coarse stuff. Balance is far more important than perfection."

"I can't guess. I can't guess the master's deep meaning..."

Xiao Yu: “…”

Pick up the glass and drink the Sprite.

Xiao Yu smacked his lips, savoring the sweetness remaining in his mouth, and burped loudly.

'Isn't this better than the zoo?'
