Chapter 325: A Perfect Score

This question was undoubtedly putting Zheng Qian on the spot.

Zheng Qian was just an ordinary person moving toward the elite and capitalist classes; how could he possibly know anything about wine tasting?

Everyone has their own specialty; what Zheng Qian excelled at was picking up women, doing business, and commercial warfare.

He knew how to extract information from market feedback,

but as for wine tasting, it was not his strong suit.

"How about it, Young Master Zheng?"

"If you can't say anything, then I'll have to say it myself."

Lu Zhe looked at Zheng Qian with a smile.

Judging by the way Zheng Qian held his wine glass just now, Lu Zhe knew that he knew absolutely nothing about wine.

He never intended to let Zheng Qian give a proper explanation; as long as everyone saw Zheng Qian at a loss for words, Lu Zhe would have achieved his goal.

Cui Ziqing watched this scene with trepidation.

She knew Zheng Qian's temper; he was someone who would pay back any slight.

If Lu Zhe really embarrassed Zheng Qian and made him lose face in front of so many people, the entire Yebai might be in for a period of turmoil.

As the saying goes, a powerful dragon cannot suppress a local snake, and what's more, Zheng Qian was not just some local snake, he was a powerful local dragon!

Lu Zhe doing this was undoubtedly playing with fire!

Cui Ziqing felt a bit of regret; she should have disclosed Zheng Qian's background to Lu Zhe and Zhou Shaoqi beforehand so they would have some reservations, and things wouldn't have developed into this situation.

The two groups looked like they were at daggers drawn; one slight misstep, and sparks would fly.

Lu Zhe picked up the Xunnidi, first gently swirling it in his hand, then holding it above his head to observe it carefully.

"The color is rich and vibrant."

Following that, Lu Zhe brought it closer, twitched his nostrils, and sniffed it under his nose.

"Hmm... the fruity aroma is very strong. Judging by my experience, it definitely isn't colored with chemical additives; it's pure, natural, fresh fruit."

Finally, Lu Zhe took a small sip.

"Smack, smack..."

Lu Zhe smacked his lips, his brows furrowed, and the expression on his face was hard to describe.

Seeing such an expression on Lu Zhe, the crowd was a bit curious.

As such a top-tier Sommelier, why did he have that look on his face?

What did he taste?

Was it good or bad?

Lu Zhe didn't speak, instead taking another large gulp.

"This wine..."

"...is simply amazing!"

Lu Zhe had a look of great surprise and excitement on his face.

"The texture is silky and delicate, the flavor is fresh without being cloying, it's just like biting into a piece of fruit from the tropics!"

"This wine is a bit like a carbonated drink; the fruit flavor perfectly masks the taste of the alcohol!"

"Since I first came into contact with alcoholic beverages, I have never drunk such delicious wine!"

Lu Zhe gave it the highest rating of his career.

Cui Ziqing walked forward with excitement: "Mr. Lu, if you had to rate this wine, on a scale of ten, what would you give it?"

"Ten!"

Lu Zhe said decisively.

Even if Cui Ziqing hadn't asked him to say a few good words beforehand, Lu Zhe would still have given it a perfect score!

This wine was simply the best-tasting and most delicate wine currently on the market!

"Please, everyone, have a taste, and you will know what I'm talking about!" Lu Zhe invited the guests at the scene to taste it enthusiastically.

The guests at the scene began to taste it one by one.

Some praised it endlessly.

Some thought it was just average.

Isn't this just ordinary fruit beer?

But hindered by Lu Zhe's reputation as a top-tier Sommelier, they didn't dare to say it out loud.

If they said the wrong thing, it would make them look ignorant.

"Young Master Zheng, why don't you have a taste too?" Seeing that everyone was tasting it while Zheng Qian remained indifferent, Lu Zhe couldn't resist making a snide remark.

"I won't bother; I drink it often enough."

Lu Zhe: ???

"Hahahaha."

He laughed heartily.

He drinks it often enough?

Zheng Qian clearly didn't understand the situation!

There's a limit to how much one can bluff.

Today's wine is a new variety that hasn't even been launched on the market yet, and he says he's already tired of drinking it?

What kind of international joke is he making!
