Chapter 119: Open mouth

"Mr. Li, is there anything else?" Lin Shuishui asked respectfully.

"Thank you for your hard work. I'd like to trouble you to go over for this little thing. It'll be fine for now." Li Xiao smiled and nodded.

"That's right. You are Xiaofei's boss, so naturally you are also my boss." Lin Shuishui smiled.

Not long after, Liu Meng came over.

"That beautiful woman just now has a good temperament. She seemed to be talking to you just now?" Liu Meng asked.

"No, she was talking to someone else." Li Xiao smiled and shook his head.

In the banquet hall, there were about ten tables of banquets.

Liu Junshan and other key members of the association sat at the head table, while Li Xiao and Liu Meng sat at the table next to them.

The food and wine have been served, but no one has started to sit down. The southeast seat at the head table is still empty, waiting for an important character to enter.

At this time, a loud voice came from the banquet hall.

"Welcome to the old president, please take your seat!"

A white-haired old man in his eighties, wearing a Chinese tunic suit, walked in vigorously, and everyone stood up to welcome him.

"Did you see that? The old man's name is Yu Wenxuan. He is a leader in the red wine industry in Daxia. He founded the association and led it to where it is today." Liu Meng introduced in a low voice.

Regarding this name, Li Xiao had heard his father mention it before. Every time his father mentioned it, he would definitely feel a sense of respect.

The achievements of this old man go far beyond just a wine association. Li Xiao has also heard of many glorious deeds of this old man.

Looking at the old man who was still energetic despite his age, a feeling of respect arose in Li Xiao's heart.

"Okay, okay, children, please sit down." The old man walked to the main seat, raised his hand and pressed down. Everyone waited for him to sit down, and then sat down.

After drinking for three rounds, Yu Wenxuan stood up and said loudly: "Today, during the reception, I will announce an important matter. I am already old, and the association's affairs have long been beyond its capabilities."

"So today, I have decided to abdicate and let the capable younger generations take over this responsibility. I sincerely hope that the red wine culture will be further developed!"

After hearing the words of the old president, everyone in the wine association burst into tears, and they were reluctant to let the old president abdicate. However, the old president is indeed old and should enjoy a happy life.

"Looking at the younger generations, talents emerge in large numbers. The wine association should not be passed down from family to family, nor should the elderly appoint candidates. Therefore, those who are capable should be the president of the association."

The old president raised his hand, and saw a few people carrying a wooden box up and placing it on the head table.

"There are ten bottles of red wine here, which I have collected all my life. I am ashamed to say that I am reluctant to take them out. But today, whoever can taste these ten bottles of red wine will be the president." The old president said loudly.

"Old President, isn't this too hasty?" Someone had some objections.

"No! Tasting wine is like appreciating people, and wine is also a person's character. If he can taste these ten bottles of red wine, then his character must be of high quality. Open the bottle and sober up."

Ten bottles of wine were opened and poured into ten decanters.

Originally, everyone thought that the new president would definitely be chosen from Liu Junshan and Fang Zhitong.

But no one thought that the old president would actually do something like this.

Everyone admires the old president’s broadmindedness and courage.

Liu Junshan and Fang Zhitong are both among the best sommeliers in Daxia, but they are not the only two best sommeliers, so others also have opportunities.

After the wine sobered up, Liu Junshan stood up and poured the wine himself. He poured several portions of the wine into rows and filled the entire table.

When the wine tasting session began, Liu Junshan was the first to pick up a glass of wine and take a sip.

He was originally confident that he would win, but the moment he tasted the wine, he frowned.

He can't taste this wine!

When Fang Zhitong saw Liu Junshan's deflated appearance, he knew what the result was.

Fang Zhitong laughed proudly.

"Old Liu, what's the matter with you? Can you tell me the age of this wine?" Fang Zhitong asked with a smile.

Liu Junshan shook his head and put down his wine glass.

"Old Liu, you are so old that you can't even taste red wine anymore, hey." Fang Zhitong became more and more proud. Liu Junshan missed an opportunity, and this president, Comrade Fang Zhitong, will definitely win.

"I don't think you can taste it." Liu Junshan said seriously.

Fang Zhitong didn't believe it, so he picked up a glass of wine and took a sip. His expression was exactly the same as Liu Junshan's, and he put the glass down without saying a word.

At this time, everyone was surprised. What kind of wine did the old president bring out? The two best wine tasters in Daxia Country couldn't taste it?

Then, the other two vice-presidents also tried to taste the wine, but still no one could tell the truth.

Then, the second cup, the third cup...the tenth cup.

Liu Junshan and Fang Zhitong took the lead in trying ten kinds of red wine, but they couldn't tell the origin of even one bottle of red wine.

"We are indeed old, why don't we invite young people to try?" Fang Zhitong suggested and looked at his son.

If he can't do it himself, doesn't he still have a son? Fang Yuan has followed Fang Zhitong and has been drinking red wine since childhood, and his wine tasting ability is no worse than him. Moreover, young people are well-informed and may have greater opportunities.

"this……"

Fang Zhitong has a son who knows how to drink, but Liu Junshan only has a daughter who is obsessed with racing and not doing her job properly.

Liu Junshan looked at his daughter, looking helpless as she hated iron.

"Mengmeng, why don't you go up and support your father?" Fang Yuan, who was sitting at the same table as Liu Meng, asked with a smile.

Last night at Liu Junshan's house, the father and his son ran away in panic. If the situation were restored today, the Fang family's father and son would definitely be a head above Liu Junshan in the future.

Liu Meng doesn't know how to taste wine, so where does she have any ideas?

"Mengmeng, after so many years, you can't even taste wine, right? This person is really embarrassed." Fang Yuan said in a strange tone.

"You go ahead, stop talking nonsense!" Liu Meng rolled her eyes.

Fang Yuan stood up and went up to taste the wine. Each time he tasted a wine, Fang Yuan leaned over and whispered a few words into the ear of the old president. After listening, the old president smiled and nodded.

Seeing the old president's expression, Fang Zhitong felt that the Fang family and his father had decided on the president. As long as the president's surname was Fang, it would be the same for me and his son.

"Fang Yuan is a good boy. Fang Yuan can actually taste three of the wines that even his comrades don't know how to taste. The young man has a bright future." The old president said with a slight smile.

What? Only three types?

Fang Yuan didn't believe it. After he drank the wine, he could obviously taste the vintage of each one. How come there were only three right ones?

"Hey, I thought you were so awesome. There are only three kinds. What are you talking about?" Liu Meng rolled her eyes.

"What the hell are you doing? If you go up there, you won't even be able to taste any of them!" Fang Yuan said unhappily.

"Yeah, if I can't taste any of them, I'm on the same level as your dad, just a little bit." Liu Meng stuck out her tongue crazily towards Fang Yuan.

Li Xiao looked at Liu Junshan, and now Liu Junshan was working in a hurry.

In terms of character, Liu Junshan definitely has nothing to say, and Liu Junshan has a wide network of contacts. If he becomes the president, the Red Wine Association will definitely be prosperous in the future.

"Who said Mengmeng can't taste wine? Let me tell you, Mengmeng can taste eighty-nine kinds of these ten bottles of red wine." Li Xiao smiled slightly.

"Exactly? It's just her? Who doesn't know her? She's a brainless person who only thinks about eating, drinking and having fun. She can taste red wine. I gave away all the red wine in our collection and gave it to her as tea!" Fang Yuan disdainfully said.
