Chapter 93: A Fifty-Thousand-Yuan Bottle of Wine, Opened Just Like That

Su Qiang took a deep breath and slammed his hand on the table.

"Fine! Qin Ze, you've got guts!"

"You want to order, then order! But this wine, these dishes—you pay for them yourself! It has nothing to do with me, Su Qiang!"

Qin Ze laughed.

"Supervisor Su, you were the one who said you'd treat, and now you're the one saying it has nothing to do with you."

He stood up, looked at Su Qiang, and spoke word by word.

"If you don't have the ability, don't play tough."

"If you can't afford to open it, I'll open it myself."

Su Qiang was thoroughly enraged by his words.

"You open it? Can you even afford to open it?!"

"Fifty thousand yuan a bottle—you don't even have that much in savings, do you?"

"What? Just to show off in front of a few women, you're not even going to live your life anymore?"

His voice shot up an octave, drawing the attention of everyone around.

"Qin Ze, don't play dumb with me! You're nothing but a low-level tech worker who got laid off by Jinxun!"

"How much is your monthly salary? What's your family background? Can you afford to open a bottle that costs over fifty thousand?"

"If you really can open this wine today, I, Su Qiang, will take your surname!"

Qin Ze looked at him and laughed.

"No need, my Qin Family doesn't have anyone like you."

"But since you've already said that much…"

He paused.

"If I open this wine today, you don't need to take my surname either."

"Record a video, apologize for what you just said, and we'll call it even."

Su Qiang was so angry at his words that he laughed.

"Apologize? Me, apologize to you?!"

He pointed at Qin Ze.

"Fine! Qin Ze, let's lay it all out!"

"If you can open this fifty-two-thousand-yuan bottle today, forget about recording an apology video!"

"I, Su Qiang, will put out fifty thousand! And buy you another bottle!"

"But if you can't open it, you get on your knees for me today and call me 'Grandpa'!"

The moment these words came out, the atmosphere in the entire restaurant changed.

Guests at nearby tables put down their chopsticks one after another, craning their necks to look over.

Su Qingqing clenched her fists, her teeth grinding audibly.

Jiang Xin's face also darkened.

Xiao Na took a sip of tea, looked at Qin Ze, and said nothing.

Qin Ze looked at Su Qiang's smug face and couldn't help but laugh.

It wasn't a cold laugh—he genuinely found it funny.

"Easy!"

He turned his head and looked at the waiter.

"Open the wine."

The waiter stood in place, a little troubled.

"Sir, this bottle of wine is quite expensive. According to our restaurant's rules, payment needs to be made first…"

The moment these words came out, Su Qiang immediately laughed.

"Hear that? Pay first!"

He turned back to look at the people at his table and said with a smile.

"See that? Even the waiter wants payment first! Afraid he doesn't have the money!"

The few Jinxun executives at that table also laughed, their gazes toward Qin Ze full of mockery.

The Deputy General Manager wearing gold-rimmed glasses shook his head.

"Young man, putting on an act to this extent is enough."

"If you had that kind of ability, you wouldn't have come to our Jinxun as a tech worker in the first place."

"That's about right, don't make it too embarrassing for yourself."

Qin Ze didn't look at him.

He directly took out his wallet from his pocket, pulled out a bank card, and handed it to the waiter.

"Swipe the card."

The waiter was stunned for a moment, then took the card.

"Sir, are you sure you want to open this bottle of wine? Fifty-two thousand…"

"Swipe."

Qin Ze's tone was very calm.

The waiter hesitated for a moment, but still took the card to the front desk.

The restaurant went quiet for a few seconds.

Everyone looked at Qin Ze, then glanced toward the direction of the service counter.

Su Qiang folded his arms across his chest, wearing an expression of someone eager to watch a good show.

He was waiting to see Qin Ze fail the payment, then kneel down and call him Grandpa.

Thirty seconds later.

The waiter returned.

In her hand, she held the card terminal.

The receipt had already been printed.

"Sir, your card has been processed."

"The wine will be brought to you immediately."

The entire restaurant instantly fell silent.

Su Qiang's smile froze on his face.

Right in the gap while waiting for the wine!

Qin Ze sent a message to Brother Hu!

Bring a few people, hurry to Jiang Yue Lou, to bet on a person!

Immediately after, Qin Ze directly transferred fifty thousand yuan to Brother Hu!

And Brother Hu, upon receiving the money, replied in seconds!

President Qin, I've called two vans over, is that enough?

Qin Ze replied:

Enough!

Just at this moment, Su Qingqing said with some anxiety:

"Brother Qin, this wine costs over fifty thousand per glass!"

Qin Ze knew that Su Qingqing's meaning was to tell him not to spend impulsively!

Xiao Na also followed up with a worried look on her face:

"Qin Ze, let's just forget it? There's no need to open a bottle of fifty-thousand-yuan wine just for this kind of person!"

Jiang Xin also tugged at the hem of Qin Ze's clothes, her eyes full of pleading.

But Qin Ze remained unmoved!

Very soon, the waiter brought the wine up.

The dark red liquid was poured into the decanter, releasing a rich, mellow aroma.

The waiter poured a glass for Qin Ze, then looked at Su Qingqing and the others.

"Pour some for them too," Qin Ze said.

Su Qingqing quickly lifted her own glass.

She took a slight sip, and her whole face lit up.

"This is the taste of fifty thousand yuan!"

Jiang Xin also lifted her glass, sniffed it, and said softly:

"This taste... is indeed different."

Xiao Na took the wine cup, swirled it, and looked at the liquid clinging to the sides.

Qin Ze lifted his wine cup and took a sip.

To be honest, wine costing fifty thousand yuan was something he wouldn't have dared to imagine before!

But now!

Even if he opened it! As long as Su Qingqing and the others drank it, there would be cashback!

So no matter how expensive the wine was, he didn't feel any pain in his heart!

The liquid melted on his tongue, rich with fruity fragrance and a long-lasting aftertaste.

It was indeed good wine.

Then Qin Ze put down his cup and looked at Su Qiang.

"How about it, Supervisor Su, I've opened the wine."

"Fulfill your promise."

"Record a video to apologize, and buy me a bottle while you're at it."

Su Qiang stood in place, his lips moving slightly, but he made no sound.

Those several senior executives from Jin Xun nearby exchanged glances, their expressions all quite unpleasant.

The Deputy General Manager wearing gold-rimmed glasses coughed once, looked at Qin Ze, and his tone softened considerably.

"Young brother, that's enough; when possible, show mercy to others."

"Supervisor Su was just joking with you, why take it so seriously?"

"That's right," another middle-aged man chimed in, "we're all just out for a meal, no need to make things so stiff."

Qin Ze glanced at them and laughed.

"Joking?"

He placed his wine cup on the table with a crisp clink.

"When he wanted me to kneel and call him Grandpa, why didn't any of you come out and say 'show mercy to others'?"

"Now that it's his turn, you're all jumping out one by one."

"Playing double standards, are we?"

The Deputy General Manager with glasses was choked into silence.

Su Qiang gritted his teeth, looked at Qin Ze, and his tone began to harden.

"Qin Ze, let me tell you, I simply won't apologize; what can you do about it?"

"And you expect me to buy you wine? Where is your face?"

As he spoke, he turned around, intending to leave.

"Pay the bill! Let's go!"

The people at that table also began packing up, preparing to rise and depart.

Qin Ze did not move.

He lifted the wine cup, took another sip, and then slowly spoke a sentence.

"Do you truly intend to make a joke of me?"

Su Qiang turned his head back and let out a cold laugh.

"Qin Ze, you really don't know your own weight, do you?"

"I manipulated you back at the company, and I can still manipulate you now!"

"I am just toying with you, just insulting you; what can you do about it?"

His voice grew louder and louder, drawing the gaze of other patrons in the restaurant.

"A low-level employee I kept under my heel for two years; now that you have a little money, you've forgotten who you are?"

"Let me tell you, Qin Ze, trash like you is someone I will despise for my entire life!"

"Even if you open this bottle of wine today, you will never turn your fortunes around! Deep in your bones, you are still that little technician I ordered around!"

The more he spoke, the more agitated he became, his face flushing crimson.
