Chapter 436: Chapter 210: Just Be Bad, You Dog of a Man!_2

"This was my mistake. I’m very sorry. You can complain about me to the hotel management, and I am willing to accept the consequences. But this accident wasn’t intentional. Please do not doubt the professionalism of our hotel..."

Han Lie almost laughed out loud.

The Ritz-Carlton was indeed professional. Not only were they particularly good at distinguishing between VIPs and less important guests, but their ability to please the boss was also unparalleled.

Who wouldn’t be disarmed by a delicate woman’s pitiful surrender?

The boys immediately began to persuade Luo Zijun, speaking up one after another.

The girls also chimed in, saying that juice was fine.

Luo Zijun was at a complete loss. He was too embarrassed to continue being angry with the staff member who spoke in such a low, soft voice, so he asked, feeling particularly frustrated, "Then at least give me a reason, right?"

"The reason..." Alin’s expression was hesitant and uncertain. Then, she bit her lower lip, as if she had made up her mind.

"Actually, the reason isn’t very pleasant. I can only explain it briefly: there was a problem with one of our lounge’s suppliers, which resulted in a batch of counterfeit liquor in our inventory. Luckily, we discovered it during a routine check before any of it was sold to customers.

Now, we’ve had to urgently seal off the lounge’s inventory and stop sales. We are waiting to complete our internal inspection and review to avoid accidentally selling counterfeit liquor, which would affect the customer experience..."

"Oh!" Fang Xing looked as if he’d had an epiphany and exclaimed excitedly, "Then your hotel is really responsible! No wonder it has such a good reputation."

"Yeah, yeah!"

"Indeed, very responsible. If this were in our county, they’d probably just sell the counterfeit liquor as if it were real."

Most of the classmates were persuaded and began to praise the hotel.

Chen Yanfei quickly covered her mouth and looked down, almost bursting into laughter.

Responsible, my ass! This was definitely Han Lie’s meddling!

Luo Zijun believed her. Not only did he believe her, but he also felt he had regained face. See? It’s not that I don’t want to treat everyone; this was an unforeseen mishap!

"Alright then. Since it’s an accident, we won’t trouble your manager." His voice softened, and he flipped through the drinks menu again.

"A responsible attitude is good, but we still need some drinks for the meal, right? What can you guarantee is genuine now?"

Alin pretended to think for a moment, then replied confidently, "Any alcoholic beverages priced under ten thousand are fine; those come from a different supplier. If you flip further, starting from the fourth page, you can order any of them."

Luo Zijun froze, his mouth agape in shock.

I originally ordered wine that’s 110,000 a bottle, and now you’re telling me it has to be under 10,000?! How the hell am I supposed to show off now!

The more Luo Zijun thought about it, the angrier he became. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Then he stared fiercely at the drinks menu. After looking at it again, he grew even angrier.

She said everything under ten thousand was available, but in reality, there was hardly any choice at that price point.

The hotel’s lounge wasn’t a wine merchant’s cellar, fully stocked at every price level. Instead, they selectively stocked certain brands.

For example, red wine—the Ritz-Carlton didn’t carry low-end brands at all. The cheapest they had was Changyu Cabernet Sauvignon Premium and Grand Master, priced between 1,200 and 3,000.

The next tier up included non-classic vintages from major vineyards like Lafite, Mouton, and Margaux—but these were all priced above ten thousand.

So, if he wanted red wine, it wasn’t a matter of dropping from 110,000 to under 10,000... It was a direct plummet to 3,000!

"I..." Luo Zijun almost erupted in curses. A four-letter profanity swirled in his mouth several times before he finally swallowed it back.

Huang Li, sitting beside him, saw the wine prices and realized he didn’t want to order such "low-quality" wine.

After all, young Luo Zijun had just bragged. His exact words were, "At home, I usually only drink Romanée-Conti level wine."

Now, he could only order Changyu Cabernet Sauvignon, which was quite a slap in the face.

She couldn’t bear to see Luo Zijun embarrassed, so she took the initiative to smooth things over. "Let’s forget about red wine today," she suggested. "Given the special circumstances, why don’t you guys have some beer, and we girls will have juice?"

Luo Zijun shot her a grateful look, then immediately glanced at Chen Yanfei, trying to gauge the goddess’s expression.

Han Lie, who had been watching the commotion with an amused smile, noticed this detail and couldn’t help but frown.

This kid’s tenacious. Still not giving up?

At this point, the other girls also started supporting Huang Li and comforting Luo Zijun.

"Yes, that’s fine!"

"I was just thinking I wanted orange juice anyway. Ice-cold would be perfect!"

"Don’t worry, Young Master Luo. Next time you can treat us to that Romanty. We’re not in a rush, after all."

It was clear that the atmosphere in Chen Yanfei’s class was genuinely good.

At the very least, the group that came out today was composed of decent people.

Even though some were more materialistic, they all understood the broader situation and were fundamentally decent.

Luo Zijun felt greatly comforted and finally managed a smile again.

And then... the boy started to get carried away.

"Thank you, Lily." He addressed Huang Li perfunctorily, then immediately turned his attention to Chen Yanfei.

"Yanfei, I’m really sorry. I wanted to add some ambiance to your birthday party and also repay God Lie a bit, but I didn’t expect this to happen... How about this? I’ll get my family to send over a couple of bottles of fine wine later. You can take them back to your dorm and share them with the girls from our class..."

"No need. We’re not really big drinkers," Chen Yanfei said, her expression unchanging, though she quietly pinched Han Lie.

The signal was the same as before: God Lie, your move!
