Chapter 144 - A Petty Old Man
The others did not take it seriously, but Lee Donghua nodded seriously. “Why don't you try it first?”
He took the white plastic bucket and took a glass of wine. He poured half a glass into it. “Since Xiaoloong said so, you can treat it as a taste of fresh wine. It should not be a problem.”
He believed in Zhang Xiaoloong's character. It was related to the old man's health, so he would not speak nonsense.
Old Man Li held the glass in his hand and also smiled. “Okay, then I will drink a few mouthfuls. Try the drink that Yaru said is good.”
Although he said he would try two mouthfuls, in reality, he only put the drink in his mouth and drank a small mouthful. It really looked like he was tasting wine.
After drinking it, his brows knitted tightly. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Lee Donghua, who was watching from the side, felt strange and quickly asked, “What's wrong? Where do you feel uncomfortable?”
If he drank a sip of the drink on his birthday and felt a little uncomfortable, it would be terrible.
He reached out to grab the cup in the old man's hand, but the old man immediately reacted and grabbed it back. “What are you doing? You're even snatching Father's things?”
“Old Man Li, Mr. Lee was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable after drinking the drink, so…” Xu Shaoning explained on behalf of him.
This kind of situation was naturally what he and Wang Changyu liked to see the most. There was no need for them to do anything, as Zhang Xiaoloong's face was already under everyone's feet.
“What discomfort?” Old Man Li was stunned for a moment, then he laughed out loud. “Did you think I had a problem with my drink just now?”
“Isn't there something wrong with this drink?” Wang Changyu did not believe it. The old man's expression just now was obviously not good. There must be something wrong with the drink. He just wanted to hide it for Zhang Xiaoloong. “Old man, can we let everyone have a taste of this?”
“No, no, no.” Old man Li was also a generous person, but when he heard this… He held the white pigment bucket down with both hands, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it from him. “This is another big gift from Xiaoloong. I have to keep it and enjoy it.”
“Is it really that delicious?”
No one knew who was questioning in the crowd, but they had guessed what everyone was thinking.
Chen Yaru had just said that she and Zhang Xiaoloong had developed this drink together. Now, the old man had bragged that it was like heaven and earth. It was too suspicious to advertise Zhang Xiaoloong!
“Why don't you let everyone have a drink?” Lee Donghua saw the old man's way of doing things and had an idea in his heart.
He was different from what others thought. Others thought that the old man was pretending because they did not understand his personality. He would never pretend to like someone for anyone. If he did not let go now, it proved that he really liked it.
Besides, he knew Zhang Xiaoloong. He was a man of his word, so this thing must be really delicious.
He owed Zhang Xiaoloong a favor for the orchids. Now, it was such a good opportunity. Since Zhang Xiaoloong could publicize it, he naturally should not let it go. But if the old man did not let others taste the orchids, how could he publicize it? No matter how good his words were, they had to be believed by others.
“Then you can give me a sip, right?” Lee Donghua saw that the old man was still unhappy, so he decided to give it a try himself. “I am your biological son!”
As soon as he said this, a group of people immediately laughed out loud because of his sense of humor.
But the old man was more humorous. He did not buy it at all. “Because you are my son, you can't steal my things.”
“It's a success, a success. Xiaoloong told me that he still has good things. If you don't even give me face, he will have good stuff in the future. I didn't know that I would meet you. ” Lee Donghua also threatened and enticed the old man.
Old Man Li saw the look his son gave him and seemed to understand something. He looked at the plastic bucket in his hand with a slight pity. “Alright then. You have to leave some for me.”
Lee Donghua waved his hand and ordered the waiter, “Bring some cups over.”
“Stop.” Old Man Li pressed his hand down again and turned to shout at the waiter, “Bring some glasses, bring some glasses over…”
The waiter was stunned for a moment. He quickly put down the glasses he had prepared and went to get some small glasses of wine that could only be filled with 5 RMB per cup.
Everyone looked at the situation. The Li family's old man was really stingy!
He filled up a pile of small wine cups. A large portion of the drink in the white plastic bucket had also been filled up. There was still about half of it left. It made the old man's heart ache terribly.
“Grandpa Lee, don't worry.” Zhang Xiaoloong saw this and began to ease the other party's heart. “When you finish drinking these, I still have some. I will send it to you in a few days.”
“Okay, okay, okay, okay.” By the way, Xiaoloong, do you think this drink can really reduce blood sugar?” the old man asked. I just drank it and felt very comfortable. It was light and didn't seem to be tired at all. What good stuff is inside?”
“Hehe, it's not good to say it in front of everyone. In short, this drink doesn't use illegal stuff, and I dare to use this kind of drink. Among all bottled drinks, the additives used are definitely the least… This is also in order to create the closest natural drink, so you just have to drink it without worry.” Zhang Xiaoloong explained.
While they were talking, someone had already gotten the drink.
No matter how disdainful they were in their hearts, they couldn't help but want to have a taste of the mysterious thing that Old Man Li had bragged about. Even Xu Shaoning and Wang Changyu were no exception.
It was just that everyone else wanted to have a taste of it, but the two people behind them wanted to pick out the bones from the inside.
However, after the two of them took a sip, their expressions changed, especially Xu Shaoning's.
Xu Family was the beverage market. Although the Xu Corporation's market share was still falling, compared to the other peers in the province, it was still a giant.
Furthermore, Xu Family was also trying to change this situation, which was gradually becoming weaker. Naturally, they had paid attention to similar products in the country, but there had never been a beverage that could reach this level.
This could no longer be called a beverage, but…
Xu Shaoning did not know what kind of words he should use to describe it, but it seemed like calling it a beverage was an insult to this kind of thing.
Although he really wanted to find the most vicious word in the world to disgust this kind of thing created by Zhang Xiaoloong, he really could not think of anything suitable.
It was like a holy water full of spirituality that came from a distant heavenly palace. It should not exist in this world at all, so it was useless to use any words in this world to judge it.
And it was precisely because this thing was too good that Xu Shaoning felt even more danger.
The Xu Family's market was slowly being suppressed by the pressure from different aspects. If such a powerful product suddenly appeared at this time, it would be no different than a sharp knife stabbing into the Xu Family's Qiangloong Group.
“This is truly a peerless product!”
“A peerless product amongst peerless products. What in the world made this?”
“I wonder if I can order it?”
This last question had reached the crucial point. Everyone was staring at Zhang Xiaoloong like a wolf.
The more Xu Shaoning acted like this, the uglier his expression became.
