Chapter 1249: Chapter 1249: Partners in Crime (6) "You can tell?" Ou Shihua raised an eyebrow. What, does this man know wine?
Of course Xiaobai knows how to judge wine. Years ago, when Xiaobai first went to visit his wife’s family, he personally picked out the wine he brought for his father-in-law.
The restaurant staff and Ou Shihua’s secretary finally realized something. This man’s fluent mention of several high-end wines wasn’t just idle boasting.
Xiaobai swiftly grabbed the wine bottle from the waiter’s hand, examined it under the ceiling light in the private room, and said, "Oh my, how fake this is. Didn’t even bother to change the bottle? I thought I’d have to smell it to know if it was real or not."
Ou Shihua nearly spit out the tea in his mouth, gritting his teeth, "You’re saying it’s fake? Impossible. This is a reputable restaurant."
"President Ou, it’s really fake wine. You could buy a cheaper bottle, but at least it would be genuine. Fake wine could be deadly, who knows what’s mixed in there? No, we need to call the police!"
Seeing Xiaobai about to dial the police on his phone,
Ou Shihua couldn’t hold back any longer. He jumped up from his chair, shouting, "Who do you think you are? I say it’s not fake wine, and it’s not! I spend millions on wine for you, and you dare to nitpick? Who do you think you are! I tell you, people like you should be grateful for even a bottle of fake wine costing a few bucks! You’ll never see millions in your life, dream on—"
Truly like a cornered dog. At this moment, Ou Shihua no longer cared if Gu Nuan was present. If she was there, even better; he wanted to scold her people harshly. As the saying goes, when you hit a dog, look at its owner. Beating the dog in front of its owner was a direct affront to the owner!
But clearly, Xiaobai and Gu Jinrong had both understood his words. This really was fake wine, probably filled with some unknown liquid costing mere cents. Heaven. This Ou Shihua truly valued money over life.
Gu Nuan calmly raised an eyebrow. Watching her own Xiaobai being treated this way made her feel uncomfortable. After all, the attack was aimed at her.
"President Ou, if you can’t even afford to treat my people with your millions worth of wine, I think there’s no need to discuss the multi-billion dollar deal next."
Gu Jinrong’s intervention was different. Xiaobai’s eyes lit up. The previously boastful Ou Shihua suddenly froze, wilting like a once beautiful flower.
Ou Shihua hastily asked, "What multi-billion dollar deal?"
He invited Gu Nuan for a business meal, but it was just an excuse. He simply wanted to see if Gu Nuan really kept a lover. He had even planned to bluff his way through it. Unexpectedly, Gu Nuan suddenly brought up real business.
Upon careful thought, it seemed possible. Because Gu Nuan was known to be practical and calculative, it was unlikely she’d agree to a meal without reason.
Ou Shihua sat down, putting on a serious expression, "Chairman Gu is right. Millions compared to billions is definitely a small amount." For a multi-billion dollar deal, spending millions on wine to please Gu Nuan’s lover, Ou Shihua thought it was worth it.
Thus, the restaurant manager went off to bring back a genuine million-dollar bottle of wine.
Seeing his wife getting serious, Xiaobai also sat down next to her, secretly observing how she would play this out.
Gu Nuan watched as the restaurant staff placed the real wine on the table, then spoke, "Whether this multi-billion dollar deal can be completed depends on President Ou’s personal involvement."
