Chapter 1074: Chapter 1063: A Thousand per Cup
Inside the Supreme No. 888 VIP lounge.
Declining Manager Cao’s intention of calling a princess, Wang Chao smiled and said, “No need to call a princess, just having a small gathering with classmates, bring up a lot of drinks.”
“Young Master Wang is right, we shouldn’t spoil the classmates’ atmosphere.”
Manager Cao, who was plump, glanced around the room with a friendly smile.
Without the commission of having a princess come out, he could only focus on the drink commission, otherwise, even though Wang Chao booked the Supreme 888 lounge for the entire night, the spending might not reach his expected standard.
“What would Young Master Wang like to drink, beer or red wine?”
Manager Cao rubbed his hands and said, “We have excellent European pine red wine, and premium dry red from Lafite Manor, although not from 1982 and not as famous, the taste is definitely not inferior to the 1982 one.”
“Lafite from ’82? Haha.”
Wang Chao sneered slightly, patted Manager Cao on the shoulder, and said with a smile, “Manager Cao, don’t take me for an amateur, Lafite just has a big name, but the taste is just so-so.”
“Bring me ten bottles of Romanée-Conti first.”
Wang Chao took out a black credit card from his wallet and handed it to Manager Cao.
“Supreme Black Card!”
Manager Cao’s eyes went wide, this is a top-level credit card with no spending limit worldwide, he didn’t expect Wang Chao to actually produce it.
It seems my previous assessment of the Wang Family’s financial power was lacking.
Ten bottles of Romanée-Conti, which is an even more expensive top red wine compared to Lafite!
Upon hearing Wang Chao’s words, Manager Cao couldn’t stop smiling, bowing repeatedly, he said respectfully, “Please wait a moment, Young Master Wang, I’ll get your drinks prepared right away.”
The people in the Supreme 888 lounge had already taken their seats.
The main seat on the sofa was currently vacant, obviously reserved for Wang Chao.
The other classmates sat close together, except for Ning Fan who was left alone in a corner of the sofa, only Zhao Xue’er sat by his side.
“Xue’er, come sit over here, back in school we were deskmates, come chat with me.”
Liu Qing smiled and waved at Zhao Xue’er.
Zhao Xue’er’s face showed a hint of difficulty upon hearing Liu Qing’s call, she looked up at Ning Fan.
Actually, she wanted to stay by Ning Fan’s side, but after Liu Qing’s words, several classmates began to coax her.
Luo Hui glanced at Ning Fan and said loudly, “Xue’er, come on, it’s not like he’s your real brother, you don’t have to look after him like this, today is our classmates’ reunion, Liu Qing was your deskmate, you won’t even give her this face?”
“Exactly, aren’t we here to catch up on our classmates’ friendship, sitting so far makes it hard to chat with you.”
Sitting at the other end, Cao Qianqian just snorted, her gaze towards Zhao Xue’er was a bit cold, she didn’t join in the coaxing.
In her heart, she wished Zhao Xue’er could sit as far away as possible, preferably somewhere Wang Chao couldn’t see.
After getting cozy with Wang Chao in the Maserati, Cao Qianqian was now full of confidence, she had already made up her mind to win Wang Chao’s heart back from Zhao Xue’er.
“Go ahead, don’t worry about me, I like it quiet.”
Seeing Zhao Xue’er in a dilemma, Ning Fan smiled slightly, patting her tightly clenched fist.
“Then… I’ll just sit over there for a while and come back.”
Zhao Xue’er looked at Ning Fan apologetically, walked over to Liu Qing and sat down, chatting with her intermittently.
They talked about some fun school days stories, and after Liu Qing agreed to Wang Chao’s request, she went out of her way to please Zhao Xue’er, hoping that in the future when Zhao Xue’er became the legitimate Young Mistress of the Wang Family, she could benefit from it.
Not long after, under the personal escort of Manager Cao, a waiter pushed a mobile wine cabinet into the Supreme 888 lounge.
Ten bottles of Romanée-Conti were neatly lined up, each opened by Manager Cao.
The wooden corks placed on the table still carrying the fragrance of grapes.
As soon as the wine bottles were opened, everyone instantly felt a fragrant aroma wafting towards them.
“This wine smells so good, it feels like just by smelling it, you could get intoxicated.”
Luo Hui shook his head, completely indulged.
“I didn’t know you, Luo Hui, were such a drink lover, hiding it so well.”
As soon as Luo Hui finished speaking, having just sent off Manager Cao, Wang Chao sat in the main seat reserved for him, glancing in Luo Hui’s direction with a smile on his face.
Luo Hui felt a shudder in his heart, instantly understanding the meaning of Wang Chao’s look, and laughed heartily, “Of course, it’s just that I can’t usually find a worthy opponent, so I don’t drink. But if I find one, just one thing!”
“What is it?”
Liu Qing stopped her conversation with Zhao Xue’er and asked with great interest.
“Great wine should be savored with a kindred spirit, what else could it be, haha.”
“You’re just boasting, drinking a thousand cups, I bet you can’t even handle three or five, stop putting on an act.”
Liu Qing pouted, full of disbelief.
“Hey, daring to look down on me, I’ll prove it to you right now.”
Luo Hui seemed to be angered by Liu Qing’s attitude, he directly filled his goblet with red wine.
After glancing around at everyone with the glass in hand, Luo Hui casually placed his gaze on Ning Fan and said with a smile, “Ning Fan, right? You didn’t drink at all when we were dining at the Starry Hotel earlier, how about having a drink?”
“Sorry, I don’t drink.”
Ning Fan maintained his usual calmness, saying the same thing.
“Is it really that you don’t drink, or you just don’t want to give me face, refusing to drink?”
Luo Hui slightly furrowed his brows, his voice already turning somewhat cold.
Before Ning Fan could reply, Luo Hui continued, “How about this, a thousand bucks per drink, whoever can’t drink anymore loses.”
Luo Hui pulled out a wallet, slammed it on the tea table, raised his glass towards Ning Fan, and challenged, “Just tell me if you dare to accept the challenge, if you can outdrink me by ten glasses, this ten thousand bucks is yours today.”
“Drinking challenge?”
Upon hearing Luo Hui’s words, Ning Fan instinctively frowned.
He glanced across Liu Qing, Cao Qianqian, and Wang Chao sitting at the main seat.
With Ning Fan’s keen observational ability, how could he not notice the little schemes among these people?
Heh, want to play games with me?
A barely noticeable smile flashed in Ning Fan’s eyes, pretending a surprised expression, he looked at Luo Hui and stammered, “A thousand per extra glass, are you serious?”
Never seen the world, huh? Watch how I play you to death!
Seeing Ning Fan’s calm demeanor shaken, seemingly provoked by the money, Luo Hui chuckled internally, but his face beamed with joy as he nodded sternly, saying, “An extra glass gets a thousand bucks, I don’t believe you can outdrink me, try if you dare!”
