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

Can't an agent estate owner earn more than a million a year?

Otherwise, it wouldn't be worthy of such a large winery.

Lu Chengzhou could only say that money didn't matter; what mattered most was that he liked drinking.

He expressed great interest in this acting estate owner.

……

Stepping into the vast underground winery, Lu Chengzhou took a deep breath.

This century-old winery now uses modern production methods for most of its wines, but its most expensive wines are still made using traditional brewing techniques.

Looking at these enormous barrels and smelling the strange aroma of wine in the air gives one a sense of having traveled back a hundred years.

At this time, all the workers had already left for the day, and only a few people were on duty patrolling the underground warehouse.

They rarely saw the manor owner come down, and they were all whispering among themselves in curiosity.

The owner waved his hand, signaling them to come over, and led Lu Chengzhou to the problematic jar of wine.

"Mr. Lu, please proceed as you see fit."

"If you need anything, please let us know."

"We will provide full support in any way we can."

Lu Chengzhou nodded. "Thank you."

So, they left the home field to Lu Chengzhou, and the others slowly withdrew.

Meng Yong watched Lu Chengzhou's retreating figure and nodded approvingly.

Regardless of whether he can solve the problem, his courage to take responsibility is commendable.

Young people shouldn't be afraid of failure, and they shouldn't be timid or hesitant.

No wonder his proud and arrogant daughter got entangled with this guy.

Thinking of this, Meng Yong's smile faded slightly.

"Hmph, this Ayu, she's not even married yet, and she's already siding with outsiders."

Thinking about how his daughter would rather throw her phone into the lake last night than let him know Lu Chengzhou's whereabouts, he, as a father, felt extremely angry.

My daughter has always been well-behaved and obedient since she was a child.

It was after meeting Lu Chengzhou that she learned to lie and to rebel.

I don't know if this is a good thing...

Is it a bad thing or not?

Meng Yong both hopes to see his daughter grow up and is afraid that she will grow up to be too wild.

"Old Meng, why don't you stay at my winery tonight?"

At this moment, the manor lord's voice interrupted Master Meng's deep thoughts.

Meng Yong waved his hand, declining the manor owner's invitation to stay overnight.

"I still prefer staying in hotels. I'll go back after I finish my business."

The manor owner was still smiling.

Looking at Lu Chengzhou's figure inside, his gaze became profound.

"Old Meng is really impressive, having such a young helper. Judging from his momentum, his future is limitless..."

"Where is it."

"Hey, Lao Meng, I happen to have a friend's daughter who's about the same age as Mr. Lu. How about I introduce them?"

"Hmph, don't meddle."

When Meng Yong heard that he was going to introduce Lu Chengzhou to a potential partner, he was extremely unwilling.

Without even thinking, I refused outright.

The manor owner looked at him with a smile.

Though he didn't say it aloud, he couldn't help but think to himself, "You old man, you probably have your eye on this young man and are planning to leave him to your daughter, right?"

Wow, you're really quick!

……

After half an hour.

Lu Chengzhou came out.

He took the towel from the maid, wiped his face, and washed his hands.

"The problem has been found."

Lu Chengzhou said it very calmly.

"It's the fermentation temperature; there's a slight deviation."

"I have already given the solution to your staff."

"As long as you follow that plan, you can make wine that tastes just like the traditional method."

The manor owner nodded and said, "Whether it's what you said or not, we still need to wait for verification."

That being said, he already had the answer in his heart.

Several years ago, the master brewer told him that it was a problem with the temperature.

The biggest challenge is controlling the temperature during fermentation at a specific point.

After hearing what Lu Chengzhou said, he suddenly understood.

However, he still needs some time to pack his things and take care of some matters; he cannot immediately hand over the winery to someone else.

"I will give you both an answer after ten days to half a month when the finished product is ready."

Meng Yong snorted: "You want to drag this out for another half month?"

A businessman's perspective is always different from that of ordinary people.

In Lu Chengzhou's view, this half-month fermentation period was necessary.

However, in Meng Yong's view, this was purely a delaying tactic.

The owner of the estate wasn't annoyed by what he said, but just smiled and said, "Just consider it my farewell to my winery? Old Meng, you've been impatient your whole life, and you can't even handle being asked to slow down for half a month?"

Looking at his smiling face, Meng Yong had no temper left.

As the saying goes, you can't hit someone who's smiling.

"Come on, gentlemen, the restaurant is our way. Let's drink until we drop tonight!"

"I won't drink anything that isn't the best wine."

"Don't worry, Lao Meng, the wine here is the best."

The manor owner let Master Meng walk in front, while he intentionally or unintentionally slowed down his pace and walked shoulder to shoulder with Lu Chengzhou.

Lu Chengzhou noticed the way he was being scrutinized, and couldn't help but look up at him.

The manor owner smiled slightly and secretly slipped a business card to him.

Without saying a word, and pretending nothing had happened, he went off to chat and laugh with Master Meng.

Lu Chengzhou watched his retreating figure, his gaze darkening.

The cunning of businessmen is evident here.

They actually tried to poach people right in front of Master Meng!

"Young man, would you be interested in working for me?"

The business card had these few sentences written on it.

“If you’re only after money, I can offer you the price that Lao Meng can give, and I’ll also give you a garden villa in the city center.”

"Of course, if you're not just in it for the money, then disregard what I said."

If it's not just for money, what else could it be for?

It's actually quite easy to figure out.

People in the industry know that Lao Meng has two daughters who are both very beautiful, and neither of them is married yet.

If Lu Chengzhou's goal was to curry favor with Old Meng and win the hearts of the Meng sisters, and to become Old Meng's son-in-law, then the manor lord would certainly not be able to poach such a talented person.

Lu Chengzhou held the business card, smiled, and shook his head.

Although he has no immediate plans to become a son-in-law of the Meng family, from a long-term perspective, it is certainly more worthwhile to rely on the Meng family.

Even if Master Meng didn't offer him anything, just being able to win over Master Meng would already be a win.

"This is a matter of survival."

……

The night was cool.

The Meng sisters, who were still waiting for Lu Chengzhou in the pavilion, finally received a message from him.

Meng Wanyu was the first to receive the message.

This made Sister Meng's heart sink.

She forced a smile and asked, "Lu Chengzhou, is he alright?"

Meng Wanyu then showed the text message directly to her sister.

It only had three words written on it: Go to bed early.

Sister Meng sighed, thinking to herself that Lu Chengzhou still favored his younger sister more.

Just as she was thinking this, her text message ringtone went off.

This time, it was Meng Wanyu's turn to feel heavy-hearted.

"What? I thought Teacher Lu had forgotten about you."
