Chapter 162: Chapter 162 You’re not blessed to enjoy it! First release
"Hmph! Don’t spout nonsense here, Everlasting Sword is one of Great Xia’s top ten famous liquor brands. How could it possibly not withstand a grain crisis? You’d better stop spouting off at the mouth. Talking nonsense can lead to legal responsibility!"
"I’ve been selling liquor for over a decade, and you think you know more than me? That’s really overestimating yourself."
No matter how convincing Chen Wei sounded, Wu Tianqi thought he was just boasting and spewing rubbish.
He firmly believed that with Everlasting Sword’s powerful strength, valued over a hundred billion, it couldn’t possibly fail to survive a minor grain crisis.
Feeling confident, who would have thought that in the next second, Tang Guoqing, who pulled out his smartphone to search for the 2001 grain crisis, would slap him in the face with the truth: "It’s true! The 2001 grain crisis affected the Everlasting Sword distillery because of insufficient reserves. They could not produce liquor and had to switch to manufacturing daily necessities. Relying on the reputation they’d built over years, they barely made it through that harsh winter."
"How could something like this happen? Let me see!" Wu Tianqi, unapologetically, snatched the phone from Tang Guoqing and started scrolling through it meticulously, just as he would on his own.
It was actually true!
Wu Tianqi swallowed, feeling no shame. He returned the phone to Tang Guoqing and said with undiminished bluster, "It seems I might have remembered wrong, but this doesn’t prove the liquor I sold is fake."
His eyes swiveled mischievously and a bad idea took root, "Insufficient reserves don’t mean none at all. What if the distillery took whatever leftover materials they had and produced a few bottles to sell? According to this, the value of these two bottles I have just went up! Selling them to you, Tang, for twenty thousand is like giving you a huge bargain."
"There’s truly no shame, and thus no defeat; today I’ve seen it all." Tang Qing was thoroughly disappointed with Wu Tianqi and decided to properly advise Tang Guoqing to have no further dealings with him after he left.
Otherwise, one day they might be sold out by him and still end up counting money on his behalf.
"Hey! Qing, what kind of talk is that? Remember, I’ve watched you grow up since you were a child. How come you’ve grown to be an ingrate, all elbows out? What is he to you that you speak so highly in his defense?" Wu Tianqi complained.
"Besides, if you say the liquor I sold you is fake, then why did you all drink it with such pleasure? If you can’t afford it, just say so directly, don’t beat around the bush and then slander me." He could barely contain his anger.
A group of people who don’t understand liquor, drinking what they think is real liquor? And they dare to compare their tasting skills to his?
"What do you mean, ’your sale?’ This liquor was brought by Mr. Chen. Open your eyes and see clearly!" Tang Qing reminded him.
"He brought it." Wu Tianqi picked up an empty bottle and began to study it closely.
After inspecting the body of the bottle and the bottom, then bringing it close to his nose to smell it, he was certain it was definitely a genuine bottle of liquor!
Whether the Qingluan liquor was real or fake, Wu Tianqi, inexperienced as he might be, could tell at a sniff.
Finally, he looked at the date, "What! Aged for a hundred years! This... this one bottle must be worth several million, and you just drank it?"
"Whether we drink it or not, what’s it to you?" Tang Qing retorted irritably, finding Wu Tianqi meddlesome.
"Such a waste! Such a waste!" At this moment, Wu Tianqi suddenly noticed that there were still two bottles of liquor on the coffee table.
One bottle had already been removed from its packaging box, while the other was still sealed perfectly.
Wu Tianqi knew which bottle was fake and which was real, so he quickly moved to take out the other bottle of hundred-year-aged Qingluan liquor.
First, he checked the bottom of the box, no creases.
Then he looked at the date, the same hundred-year aging!
"Tang, we’re good friends, right? Look, you’ve already drunk one bottle, how about you give this one to me?" Wu Tianqi made up his mind that even if it cost him his dignity and his relationship with Tang Guoqing, he had to take this bottle of liquor.
Selling it off would mean never having to worry about money for the rest of my life.
"No way! This wine belongs to Mr. Chen, what gives you the right to take it? And you know it’s worth millions, I’m amazed you have the nerve to ask for it!" Tang Qing was very curious where Wu Tianqi got his confidence and audacity from.
"Adults are talking, kids should stay out of it. Since he brought it over, it must mean it’s a gift for your family. Old Tang can make the decision!" Wu Tianqi glowered at Tang Qing with a malevolent look. He had no patience for those who got in his way, regardless of whether he had watched them grow up or not.
None of these compared to the importance of financial gain.
"This wine belongs to Chen, put it down immediately!" Tang Guoqing wasn’t about to let Wu Tianqi have his way.
"Tang Guoqing! Are you not being ungrateful? When your family fell on hard times, nearly starving to death, who gave you food? It was my mom, and now that she’s gone, can’t you show a little gratitude? How ungrateful can you be!" Wu Tianqi accused Tang Guoqing.
"One thing at a time, this wine belongs to Chen, I can’t make that decision." What Tang Guoqing couldn’t stand the most was Wu Tianqi using his aunt as a shield.
"Uncle Wu, can you be reasonable? When Grandma Lin was sick and hospitalized, you were playing cards at someone else’s house all night. It was my dad who drove Grandma Lin to the hospital and even paid 100,000 yuan for her medical expenses. What did you do?" Tang Qing couldn’t stand watching someone bully her family like this.
"Don’t bring up those trivial matters from the past. In any case, I’ve decided I want this wine today. Are you going to give it to me or not, Tang Guoqing? Give me a straight answer!" Wu Tianqi pressed.
Chen Wei held Tang Guoqing’s hand back, "You can have the wine, but I’m afraid you won’t be able to enjoy it."
"What a joke! As long as you dare to give it, why wouldn’t I dare to enjoy it?" Wu Tianqi clutched the Qingluan liquor to his chest, as if no one could take it from him.
"If that’s the case, then take it." Chen Wei waved his hand, "But from now on, you must ensure that you will no longer bother Uncle Tang."
"Okay! I promise! It’s a deal!" Upon saying that, Wu Tianqi ran off with the wine, fearing that Chen Wei might change his mind and eager to have nothing to do with the Tang family ever again.
As for the two bottles of fake wine, the total cost was just a few hundred yuan. With millions in his arms, why should he care about those?
"Hey!" Tang Guoqing wanted to stop him, but it was too late.
"Chen, I’m truly sorry, I’ve been deceived, I judged wrongly. I’ll make up for that bottle of wine, even if I have to break the pot and sell the iron."
This time, Tang Guoqing saw Wu Tianqi’s true colors, and without Tang Qing’s having to say anything, decided to cut ties with him completely.
"Right, I can write you an IOU, repay a little each month, in a few decades, maybe I can pay it off. Please give me some time." Tang Qing was Tang Guoqing’s dear darling, how could she stay silent at a time like this?
"It’s okay, it’s just a bottle of wine. Besides, it was intended as a gift for Uncle Tang in the first place. Don’t worry about it."
Chen Wei stood up, "It’s getting late, we’ve almost finished eating, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be heading back."
"I’ll see you out!"
"No need, it’s not safe for you to come back alone so late. I’ll just take a cab, who’s going to bother me anyway?" Chen Wei persuaded the following Tang Qing.
"You never know, you are so..." having said half of it, Tang Qing swallowed the rest back.
"Alright, I’m fine, uncle, auntie, goodbye." Chen Wei waved his hand and left Tang Qing.
Suddenly, his expression turned cold.
Going downstairs, he took out his cellphone and called Ye Zhentian.
