Unacceptable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1110: Chapter 1110: Don’t Understand?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s Unacceptable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cheongsam-clad beauties that entered the hall from outside numbered five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each barely touched up with makeup, yet brimming with vitality; some demure, some charming, some elegant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an era dominated by plastic surgery, heavy makeup, and photo retouching, where “manufactured” beauty was rampant, the natural allure of these women was truly a breath of fresh air, eliciting sincere admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each of the five beauties held the same wine in their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following them, someone wheeled in two trolleys full of wine glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those in the know were aware that these glasses were authentic Austrian Riedel crystal wine glasses, touted as the “Rolls-Royce of wine glasses,” and considered to be the finest, most professional wine vessels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhang Family wine tasting event was not being held for the first time, and more than ninety percent of the attendees had been here more than once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, everyone was quiet, looking on with eager anticipation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four of the five bottles of wine were uncorked and poured into decanters, while the fifth was set aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That must be the prize, Bai Xiaosheng thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Dazhuang was beside himself with excitement, describing in a hushed voice to Bai Xiaosheng nonstop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wine tasting segment of the Zhang Family event usually consisted of three rounds, sometimes four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The types of wine were not limited; they could range from red wine to white wine, and even include cocktails.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each round would feature wines even better than the previous one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bai, do you know a lot about wine?” Jia finished speaking and couldn’t help but ask.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng pondered briefly before replying with a smile, “A little.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Just a little, huh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But don’t worry, I have quite the expertise in this area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m going to outshine everyone, and when I win, I’ll give you a bottle of fine wine as a show of friendship,” Jia Dazhuang boasted, patting his chest, and then, with a hint of mischief, added, “But you have to talk to Lei and take me as his disciple!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Lei Ying introduced himself earlier, he thought Old Jia wasn’t a bad person and his impression had somewhat improved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, despite Old Jia’s good nature, he couldn’t resist being a bit cheap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Give an inch and he’d take a mile, immediately wanting to become a disciple upon knowing his status.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Ying simply ignored him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, the fellow now sought a roundabout way, making his move via Bai Xiaosheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Jia’s request, Bai’s initial reaction was to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want to make any promises on Lei Ying’s behalf to avoid putting him in a difficult position.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Bai also didn’t want to be too direct in his refusal, contemplating a more tactful way to decline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could, someone nearby let out a snicker, “Old Jia, keep dreaming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You think you can win a bottle of wine?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if we don’t exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There must be at least a hundred here better than you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Dazhuang was instantly enraged, “So, you’re saying I’m bottom of the barrel?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, no, don’t get me wrong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What I’m saying is, you’re not even in the running,” the other person smirked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughter erupted around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Dazhuang was so angry his nose seemed crooked, as if he were about to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forget it, it’s just a wine tasting, no need to get heated,” Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile, patting his shoulder to soothe him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Dazhuang, who appeared furious just moments before, instantly calmed down at Bai’s casual words of reassurance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, sure!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had he really that much influence?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The guy’s still the same—backs down easily and takes the out when offered,” someone chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Dazhuang pretended not to hear and mumbled, “I won’t stoop to your level!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wine tasting is a gentleman’s activity, and a gentleman doesn’t resort to violence…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng, “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he had an even better understanding of Jia Dazhuang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that aside from a good heart, the man truly was…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>good for nothing else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just a small interlude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Bai Xiaosheng felt someone’s gaze upon him and looked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across the crowd, at the front, stood a man and a woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People kept their distance from them, looking on with a hint of awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Haoyu and Huo Yumeng, eh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their expressions were unfriendly as they looked over with evident coldness and hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze also carrying a chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he didn’t know the reason for their hostility, he wasn’t one to be easily bullied!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, the most dignified among the five beauties spoke up, “Ladies and gentlemen, the wine has been aerated, please go ahead and taste it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In ten minutes, we ask that you provide your evaluation of this red wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person with the best evaluation will receive a full bottle of the same wine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause, the beauty smiled and added, “As always, our professionals will judge your evaluation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old rules apply—if your description misses the key points entirely, we regret to inform you that you will be disqualified from the next round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, you will still have the opportunity to taste the next wine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the beauty implied was clear—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you spout nonsense, then sorry, but you’ll be keeping quiet in the next round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lady, we all know the drill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anyone talks rubbish, he’ll be the laughingstock of us all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t worry!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s start already, some of us can hardly wait!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The fragrance of the wine is in the air, and my thirst for it is growing impatient!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was enthusiastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Zhang Family wine tasting was an opportunity to be seen and to make an impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, making friends over wine was favored; a new friendship from the gathering would be the best outcome, as there wasn’t a single ordinary person present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the crowd’s eager calls, the beautiful woman smiled gently and extended her hand in a “please” gesture, indicating that they could begin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staff members carrying trays delivered a cup of fine wine to each attendee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every cup contained just a shallow amount, yet it was sufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To taste just enough to leave an aftertaste and anticipate more, without affecting the next round of tasting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the wine was served, everyone held the base of their cups, smelled, and sipped the wine, letting the liquid roll over their taste buds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many even closed their eyes to savor the flavor, nodding frequently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng tasted his and also showed a look of appreciation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past two years, he had attended various wine events and tasted many red wines, going from a complete novice to someone with some understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only could he discern good from bad, but he was also able to explain a bit about what made them good.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, to say he could out-comment everyone present was a boast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Bai Xiaosheng had neither spent much time nor much thought on this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, if Bai Xiaosheng really wanted to win, it would have been a piece of cake, an easy victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Red Lotus by his side, not to mention analyzing the taste and essence, he could effortlessly detail the components of the wine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even more, Red Lotus could simulate the fermentation process of making this wine!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who else present could do that!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the wine was good, it was far from the best that Bai Xiaosheng had tasted, and he didn’t have much desire to win it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, if he were to start by taking prizes from the first round to the last, it would also be a bit embarrassing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Bai Xiaosheng decided.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This first round, he would abstain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ladies and gentlemen, who would like to give a critique?” the hostess asked with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A piercing shriek erupted beside Bai Xiaosheng, startling him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Dazhuang was the first to shout out, raising his rail-thin arm high into the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hostess was taken aback when she saw him, her eyes flickering with a hint of a profound message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng immediately understood the hostess’s implication and was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surely the hostess found it both amusing and a little helpless in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed that Jia had embarrassed himself quite a few times before…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others had even taken note of him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia, give us your thoughts,” said the hostess, taking a deep breath to maintain her composure before politely gesturing for him to proceed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This wine is great!” exclaimed Jia Dazhuang, and of course, he did not disappoint.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Undeterred by the others, Jia went on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look at the soup, no, the clear color of the wine, it’s the matured color of blush strawberries…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Dazhuang rambled on with his judgment succinctly and even quoted a couple of lines from classic poems to appear cultured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd’s laughter was filled with cheer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng simply looked up at the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he had amused the crowd, Jia felt quite pleased with himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had even specially looked up some poetry before coming over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hostess finally spoke after some contemplation, her smile showing patience but also sincerity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did I do well?” Jia Dazhuang beamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the next round, you don’t need to participate in the commentary, but you can still taste the wine,” the hostess said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This proved that not a single comment made by Jia was on point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laughter erupted from the two hundred people present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jia Dazhuang immediately looked sullen, like the disappointed son of a rich landlord…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, others provided their insights, each with their own brilliance, causing many heads to nod in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the best commentary came from the last person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With each point concise and well-articulated, professional wine tasters were nodding in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That person was Qian Haoyu!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu’s evaluation is nearly perfect, so this ‘Zhirun’ bottle worth fifty thousand is yours,” the hostess said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qian Haoyu’s lips curled into a smug smile, not looking at the hostess but staring at Bai Xiaosheng across from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That gentleman!” pointed Qian Haoyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following his gesture, everyone’s gaze converged on Bai Xiaosheng, curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bai Xiaosheng looked at Qian Haoyu with a calm expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I’m talking about you!” Qian Haoyu said with a smile that was not at all friendly, “When I arrived, I saw Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong personally receiving you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, you must be someone important at this wine tasting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, you remain silent in the first round of tasting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That doesn’t seem right.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Or is it that you don’t understand anything about wine, yet came to a wine tasting event?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In that case, I must ask, do you even know how to write the words ‘lose face’?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1817,"2026-06-05T17:43:01.365Z",1,"novelbin.me","ca207e879013a3d66d98269499b1c3a9be992d39fe5129a3ad688352783caba6","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-1111","inheritance-of-two-trillion-chapter-1109",2500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finheritance-of-two-trillion-cover.jpg"]
