“Hey, I'm still a representative,” said Dai, deputy regional head.
“Haha!” laughing Tian Tuyuan.
“You said you brought good wine,” said Dai.
“Ya, please wait a moment, I will take it now,” Tian Tuyuan said. One of them was an ordinary person that he had to deal with for business matters. The other was a mysterious young man whom he took seriously. He knows exactly which is more important.
“I won't bother you anymore, Tian, I just came here to get some fresh air,” Wang Yao said.
“OK, have you had wine? I'll ask someone to bring you good wine later, ” Tian Tuyuan said before he left.
“No, I have to drive,” said Wang Yao.
“OK, I have to go now, see you again,” Tian Tuyuan said.
Tian Tuyuan left with Dai, who nodded to Wang Yao before he left.
“So, what does this Wang Yao do for a living?” ask Dai with a smile.
“He planted herbs under your power,” Tian Tuyuan said.
“Really? How is that possible?” laughing Dai.
As the vice head of the area, Dai had dealt with all kinds of people including businessmen like Tian Tuyuan. He knows very well how the businessmen are. The only thing they care about is money and they don't mind getting their hands dirty for profit. So, Dai was puzzled as to why Tian Tuyuan placed all his attention on Wang Yao, rather than the local businessmen and members of the local government. There were not many people in Lianshan who deserved Tian Tuyuan's attention.
“Let's try the wine I brought,” said Tian Tuyuan, who tried to change the subject.
…
“Hai Wang Yao, why are you here?” asked Yang Ming, who came out of his private room. Her face was red after a few drinks and she wrapped her arms around Wang Yao's shoulder.
“I just came out to get some fresh air,” said Wang Yao.
“Everyone is drinking. You should also drink something, ” Yang Ming said.
“Sorry, my stomach is not good, I have to miss a drink today,” Wang Yao said with a smile.
“Do not worry, this is just a little wine,” Yang Ming said.
Wang Yao returned to the private room with Yang Ming. As soon as he sat down, Yang Ming picked up a glass of wine and walked towards Wang Yao.
“Come on everyone, spirit!” He came to Wang Yao directly before toast to all his schoolmates.
“Hai Yao, spirit!” said Yang Ming.
“Sorry, I really cannot drink, can I replace wine with water?” asked Wang Yao.
“Cannot be! Even the girls drank wine, how could you drink water? ” said Yang Ming.
“I never drink wine. I really can't,” said Wang Yao with a smile.
In fact, since the Department of Transportation began tightening its drinking and driving bans, fewer and fewer drivers are taking risks. And people usually don't push or force someone who will drive to drink alcohol.
But Yang Ming would not let Wang Yao go.
“Why? Are you looking down on me? ” Yang Ming said furiously. Wang Yao was the only one who refused to drink tonight.
Suddenly became awkward.
The door opened, a servant entered with a plate in his hand. On the plate were two bottles of wine; both were well wrapped.
“Excuse me, which one is Mr Wang Yao? Mr. Tian from the next room asked me to bring two bottles of wine to Mr. Wang Yao,” said the maid.
“I.” After a moment of silence, Wang Yao raised his hand.
“Leave it on the table. Thank you,” Wang Yao said with a smile.
“Sama-sama,” said the waiter who immediately left the room.
“Now I know why you don't want to drink my wine. You are waiting for something better!” said Yang Ming who was clearly displeased. He's the one who's organizing the party tonight. He brought one of the best wines in the province, which was not cheap at all. And everyone except Wang Yao thought the wine was really good.
“Alright, let's try this one,” said Yang Ming who picked up one of the bottles from the table.
Wang Yao shook his head. He knew the bottles were given to him by Tian Tuyuan. He was grateful for Tian Tuyuan's kind demeanor but didn't want to cause such an unpleasant situation. But things are out of his control. He knew Yang Ming was not happy with him.
What's?! Yang Ming was shocked as he looked closely at the bottles on the table.
She has attended several dinner parties and work dinners since she started working. Sometimes he has to pay, sometimes he doesn't. He had some good dishes, cigarettes, and wine. He could tell which wine was good and which was not. He knew that these two bottles of wine were not common.
Although the Fenjiu liquor is not as famous as Mao-Tai Chiew and Wuliangye (both are the most famous Chinese wines), it is very popular in China. The two bottles of wine given by Tian Tuyuan were Fenjiu's most expensive liquor, filled with blue and white porcelain bottles. The liquor was at least 20 years old.
Yang Ming was not sure what the true price of each bottle of Fenjiu liquor was. He considered the price of one bottle to be at least hundreds of yuan.
“Great, why didn't you bring out such a good wine earlier?” yang Ming asked as he opened the bottle.
“I don't buy it myself, I don't drink alcohol,” said Wang Yao. He started thinking that he shouldn't have come to the party.
“You don't drink? We will drink for you," said He Hai, who poured a glass of wine for himself and turned to Yang Ming, "Since Wang Yao does not drink, I will drink with you."
Everyone's happy now.
“What egg? Let me try too,” said one of Wang Yao's schoolmates inside the room.
Quite a number of Wang Yao's schoolmates enjoyed drinking wine. Both bottles were empty.
“Good egg!” someone said.
“It's vintage wine!” said someone else.
Maybe the wine was very good, or some people drank too much but the people in the room started talking very loudly.
Yang Ming was not happy to hear people praising Wang Yao's wine. He almost lost it. Yang Ming had a good plan for today. Just now she was joking about asking Tong Wei to be her boyfriend and she did not reject him completely. Beautiful girls like Tong Wei were always covered. But it irritated him when Wang Yao refused to drink the wine he was carrying. Now, Wang Yao seemed to attract a lot of attention from the other schoolmates with the two bottles of wine given by someone from the next room.
What did Wang Yao do? Trying to embarrass him? To show-off? He's just a fellow countryman.
Yang Ming was starting to get even more annoyed. He poured another glass of wine for himself.
“Good wine! Wang Yao, do you have any more ?! ” Yang Ming suddenly turned to Wang Yao and started yelling, "We want more wine, right?"
“True!” someone agrees.
“Sorry, I don't have anymore. These two bottles were given by a friend, ” Wang Yao said with a smile. He spoke slowly but clearly; everyone in the room heard his voice.
“Really? I thought you were just reluctant to buy more bottles for us, ” Yang Ming said.
“That's right,” said Wang Yao.
“It's okay. We have enough wine here,” laughter He Hai.
Yang Ming did not say anything more. He was going to provoke Wang Yao, but he failed.
