Why are you all trying to win over me, the male supporting character?

Master Meng squinted as he sized up Master Lin at the opposite table.

Master Lin raised his head and nodded neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"What brand is your wine? It tastes quite good," Master Meng asked again.

"This? This is Master Ruan's work." Old Master Lin swirled his wine glass.

The aroma spread even further.

"Master Ruan? Oh! That one."

Master Meng smiled.

I raised my teacup and took a small sip.

Put down the cup.

"It is said that Master Ruan has not brewed wine for twenty years, and he himself is already ninety years old, so it is impossible for him to make a comeback."

“A true expert, sir.”

The two seemed to have started talking.

However, Lu Chengzhou, who was sitting to the side, saw it very clearly.

This was just a small test.

Master Meng was interested in that jar of wine, but not very interested.

The conversation reached a brief impasse here.

Master Lin began to get a little anxious.

Why not just invite him to sit down and enjoy the food together?

This made the hand holding the wine glass feel a little awkward!

Just then, Lu Chengzhou casually remarked:

"That's probably not Master Ruan's work; you've been fooled."

225. This is the smell of money!

Upon hearing this, Master Lin's anger flared up instantly.

You can deny him as a person, but you can't deny his things!

He personally picked up this wine from Master Ruan's winery, how could it not be Master Ruan's work?

That's pure nonsense!

However, in front of Meng Yong, Master Lin could not lose his temper. He could only snort and retort, "Young man, you must be mistaken. This is wine that I got from Master Ruan's winery."

Meng Yong smiled but remained silent.

He wanted to see how this young man, who was very sensitive to the smell of alcohol, would handle the situation that was about to unfold.

Lu Chengzhou continued speaking slowly.

With the wine tasting skills provided by the system, he is very accurate in judging wines.

You absolutely cannot be mistaken.

This jar of wine is somewhat related to Master Ruan, but it was definitely not made by Master Ruan himself.

The Master Ruan they were talking about has become blinded by greed in recent years. He has already sold his brewing recipe and started mass production.

However, the old man was careful when selling the formula.

The wine that others make by following his recipe can only simulate 90% of the effect of the wine he personally brews.

The remaining 10% has to be done by him personally to achieve a 100% accurate reproduction.

Unfortunately, such a slight difference is impossible for the average wine connoisseur to detect.

Furthermore, since he no longer brews the wine himself, most people don't know what this wine truly tastes like.

When counterfeit goods take over the market, then genuine goods will likely be mistaken for counterfeit goods.

Lu Chengzhou told these stories to the two richest men.

After hearing this, Mr. Lin was completely stunned.

"That despicable Ruan Zhong, does he want to die?!"

Master Lin slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

"He actually dared to try and fool me with mass-produced substandard goods?"

Master Meng remained relatively calm.

He waved his hand, signaling Mr. Lin to come over and sit at the same table with them.

He had tasted the true flavor of this wine, but he didn't remember its brand or the winemaker at the time.

Now, he wanted to taste it and see how it differed from the wine he had tasted before.

Mr. Lin was taken aback.

"This isn't the real thing, and you still..."

"Didn't you hear what this young man said?" Master Meng laughed, "Even if it's not the real thing, it has ninety percent of the essence of the real thing. It's worth a try, just for the novelty."

Master Lin gave Lu Chengzhou a deep look.

How does this kid know so much?

Even Mr. Lin, a long-time customer, didn't know about Master Ruan's affair. How did this young man, Lu Chengzhou, find out?

It seems that appearances can be deceiving.

However, upon further reflection, it was fortunate that Lu Chengzhou had suggested opening the wine jar here.

If this wine is given away and Meng Yong discovers the problem himself, it could very well be an accident!

……

After a few drinks...

Meng Yong squinted his eyes and savored the moment.

When the assistant brought the wine, he called him several times, but couldn't wake him up.

He only opened his eyes with satisfaction after he could discern the difference between the genuine product and the counterfeit.

"Yes, there is a difference."

Meng Yong smiled and looked at Lu Chengzhou.

"Young man, your wine tasting skills have truly impressed me."

Lu Chengzhou smiled and said, "You flatter me, sir."

At this moment, Meng Yong had his assistant bring up the wine that had been prepared earlier.

He uncorked the bottle, poured out a little bit, and handed it to Lu Chengzhou.

The assistant had only met two or three people who could have Master Meng personally pour wine for them, and Lu Chengzhou was one of them.

Lu Chengzhou was also somewhat flattered.

"Young man, come and taste this wine. See if there's anything wrong with it?"

The wine has a beautiful color and a very authentic taste.

Even someone who knows nothing about wine can appreciate its sophistication when they taste it.

This is...

The smell of money!

An atmosphere of extravagance!

Lu Chengzhou took a small sip and then put down the cup.

They directly stated the place of origin and the vintage of the wine.

Incidentally, they also mentioned the price of this wine.

This is exactly the same information Meng Yong had.

Meng Yong nodded in satisfaction.

Mr. Lin, who was sitting to the side, was secretly taken aback.

That's incredible!

Such fine wine would probably only be served when entertaining royalty and high-ranking officials.

Meng Yong, that old bastard, really thinks highly of Lu Chengzhou.

They actually brought it out for him to taste!

For a time, even Master Lin thought that Lu Chengzhou was the son-in-law that Meng Yong had chosen, and that he was about to rise to the top and reach the pinnacle of life.

The way he looked at Lu Chengzhou had also changed completely.

……

A few minutes later.

This extraordinary breakfast has come to an end.

Before leaving, Meng Yong handed his gold-embossed business card to Lu Chengzhou and asked him if he was interested in working at the Meng family's winery, promising a salary that would satisfy him.

Lu Chengzhou naturally refused the job.

Going to work for the Meng family means continuing to navigate the power struggle between the two sisters!

This is a very tiring thing...

It's mainly bad for the kidneys.

However, the most important thing is that Lu Chengzhou cannot leave Yicheng at this time. No matter how good the job is in Jingzhou, he can't go there.

As for Master Lin...
