School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert-Chapter 441 : Undermining
"Hmph!" Liao Zhijie turned and walked away.
Limping, Liao Zhijie made his way to the nearby sofa area. Li Dapang, this guy holding a plate of food in his left hand, slowly walked towards Xiao Han, then spoke up, "Xiao Han, why bother with these people? It's just a dog. By the way, want something to eat?"
"Eat what?" Xiao Han replied disdainfully and then said, "It's all junk, low-class food. Look at what kind of crap is this!"
Upon hearing this, everyone who had been about to eat was taken aback. Each of them opened their mouths wide, the food still not swallowed.
"Xiao Han, what do you mean by that?"
"Are you trying to disgust us on purpose?"
"Ignore him, he's just a sore loser. He probably hasn't even seen, let alone eaten, these kinds of foods!"
The group was clearly very unhappy, and they started to verbally attack Xiao Han. Chen Zihan also seemed somewhat surprised by Xiao Han's sudden outburst and didn't understand why he would say such a thing.
Facing the crowd's criticism, Xiao Han chuckled coldly and said, "It seems that you really are a bunch of easily satisfied people."
"What do you mean?!" Finally, someone stood up. It was Wen Xiaobao. Wen Xiaobao was the class discipline monitor in the past, and he got into a university in another province after the college entrance examination. Naturally, he also came to join in the excitement of this reunion. However, seeing Xiao Han tarnish this gathering, he was not happy. Wen Xiaobao stood up and looked at Xiao Han with a cold gaze, "Xiao Han, I previously had no complaints about you, but it's wrong for you to say this. What gives you the right to call this food trash?"
"It is trash." Xiao Han replied with a calm smile, "These foods are just leftovers from yesterday's buffet in the hotel kitchen. They were frozen in the refrigerator and taken out for you to eat today. But really, it's quite pitiful that you are all having such a good time eating it."
"Xiao Han, what nonsense are you spouting!" Jiang Xiaoliang immediately became furious. To tarnish his own person was one thing, but to smear his family's hotel was absolutely unacceptable.
Xiao Han sneered at the corner of his mouth and then said, "Don't believe it? Look at this individually wrapped cake. I stayed here yesterday and had the buffet. I opened this cake yesterday. Later, I thought I might not be able to finish it, so I wrapped it back up. I'm not good at much, but I have an exceptionally good memory. I remember the barcode of this cake. The very cake I left behind yesterday has appeared here again. What does that tell you? It shows that the food from yesterday's buffet has made a comeback."
"You!" Jiang Xiaoliang frowned.
Xiao Han narrowed his eyes and said, "So, do you have anything to say?"
"Even if that's true, at least the food isn't expired," Jiang Xiaoliang glared at Xiao Han, clearly unable to save face after being exposed. He had no idea Xiao Han had stayed here yesterday and even partook in the buffet.
"Ah!"
"Is it really yesterday's food? No way. What bad luck!"
"Damn it, I hope we don't get diarrhea from this!"
The group was struck dumb.
Xiao Han smiled and continued, "Right, you're not wrong. As long as it's not expired, it's not much of an issue. After all, food shouldn't go to waste; someone has to consume it. I just wanted to let everyone know not to think too highly of Young Master Jiang. He's serving yesterday's food to you guys, so how much money do you think he actually spent?"
"That's enough, Xiao Han," Jiang Xiaoliang snapped. He pointed to the nearby drinks area and said, "All these imported wines, brandies, and liquors. Do they cost nothing? And this luxurious meeting room, does that cost nothing? You speak so lightly, but how much money can you earn?"
"Great!" Xiao Han gave a faint smile, then added, "These wines, brandies... they're all garbage!"
Wow...
The crowd was suddenly in an uproar.
"These wines are pretty good, though."
"Yeah, they taste fine to me."
"They look imported. All the drinks have foreign labels. They must be good stuff."
At the banquet, the crowd didn't aggressively argue back or insult Xiao Han anymore. However, there were still voices of reproach, just not as vehement as before. That's because the incident with the buffet food had already proven Xiao Han wasn't wrong.
"Don't believe me?" Xiao Han sneered and picked up a bottle of red wine, then said, "Look carefully, what's this? What does it say on it? Do you understand it?"
The group shook their heads.
"Let me tell you, this is a red wine from Nepal," Xiao Han said with a smile. "This wine is just something that poor people drink. To be frank, it tastes awful, and it's not even made from grapes but industrially concocted. I don't understand, can't you read the English label on it?"
"Can't understand!" Li Dapang shook his head from the side.

"Can you understand it?" Xiao Han asked with a smile.
"We can't understand!" Everyone shook their heads in unison.
"Alright, since you can't understand," Xiao Han said with a slight smile, "then let's have Chen Zihan do a translation for us. Chen Zihan is a top student from Harvard University and excels in both IELTS and TOEFL exams. I believe this piece of cake won't stump her."
Everyone turned to look at Chen Zihan.
"I..." Chen Zihan was stunned.
"Zi Han, go take a look."
"Yeah, help us check, how much is this wine really worth?"
"Make sure to look carefully to see if there's anything wrong. See if it's really industrially blended."
The group of people said one after another.
"Is that okay?" Chen Zihan felt a bit embarrassed. She turned her head to look at Xiao Han as if to say: You jerk, you've gotten me into trouble again.
"Come on!" Xiao Han urged.
With no choice but to yield under peer pressure, Chen Zihan reluctantly walked up. Meanwhile, Jiang Xiaoliang wore an expression of displeasure, his face exceedingly unsightly. He wished he could beat Xiao Han to death right then and there. Unfortunately, at this moment, he had no way to step down from the situation. Yet, staying silent didn't seem like an option either. Jiang Xiaoliang was completely clear about the origins of these drinks, which is why he hadn't touched them. He hadn't even eaten anything, drinking only the good wine specially prepared by the service staff.
Chen Zihan slowly walked up and took a bottle of wine from Xiao Han's hand.
It was a bottle of pretty looking wine, amber-colored under the light, with a beautiful bottle and a label covered in dense English text. Chen Zihan glanced over it and then said, "This wine indeed comes from Nepal, and looking at the label, it doesn't contain any grape wine base among its ingredients, just some industrial materials and alcohol for consumption. As it happens, this kind of wine is also sold in the United States, costing a little over a dollar a bottle. Only people from the slums and some vagrants buy and drink it."
"Wow..."
Instantly, the room erupted into a buzz. The price of this wine was only a little over a US Dollar, which translates to less than ten RMB. Everyone was dumbfounded, especially those who had just proclaimed it delicious and good. They were utterly speechless.
Never mind ten RMB, even if this wine was offered for free, they'd probably be reluctant to drink it. Although they weren't extremely rich, spending a few hundred RMB on a bottle of red wine didn't strain them too much. Even though they were students, they had their pursuits when it came to certain things.
"This brandy doesn't seem right either," Chen Zihan said, frowning, "I may not recognize the technical jargon, but I'm sure there's a problem with this wine; it's also blended with industrial ingredients. Because there's an English indication below, which you probably don't know about!"
The people present were dumbfounded once again.
Some liked to show off, holding glasses of red wine and saying it tasted good, delectable, with a pure flavor. However, they then discovered that the wine they were drinking was industrially blended. They felt like they had just eaten a disgusting green fly. Some of them hurriedly put down their wine glasses.
Clatter, clatter...
The sounds of glasses meeting glasses as one by one, they were placed on the table. The faces around conveyed disgust.
Jiang Xiaoliang's expression turned icy, his face frosted over. He was extremely annoyed as he coldly looked at Xiao Han, "Xiao Han, did you come to my classmates' get-together today just to cause trouble?"
"No, no, no," Xiao Han quickly shook his head, "I'm not here to cause trouble, I'm here to show support. I just think that you should tell everyone the truth. Jiang Xiaoliang, since you want to show off your family and wealth, you might as well do it with some generosity. Don't be so stingy. You're supposedly worth over a hundred million after all. Do you really think you can show off without spending a dime?"
"Damn it, who says I didn't spend?" Jiang Xiaoliang roared back, "Do these foods come for free? The wine might be cheap, but does importing it not cost money? Also, this venue for the banquet, do you know how much it costs to book it for one night?"
"Good!" Xiao Han laughed and said, "If today's food is not eaten, tomorrow it will probably have to be fed to the pigs. Instead of letting it go to the pigs, why not feed your classmates first, right? As for the wine, I don't want to say too much. Everyone knows how they feel about it. As for the venue, if I'm not mistaken, there shouldn't be any company or individual booking it today, right? Otherwise, with Jiang Xiaoliang being so stingy, would you give up on doing business and free up the place just for our gathering?"
"You!" Jiang Xiaoliang was furious.
"Even setting that aside, if you really had other matters, just moving it back wouldn't interfere with business, and you wouldn't have to spend any extra money, would you?" Xiao Han rebutted coldly.
Jiang Xiaoliang turned pale.
"Jiang Xiaoliang, is what Xiao Han said true?" Wen Xiaobao asked.
"You're listening to him?" Jiang Xiaoliang shot back.
Wen Xiaobao snorted coldly, "Then bring out your evidence and reason. Refute him."
"I..." Jiang Xiaoliang wanted to rebut the other party, but found he had no way to refute. Jiang Xiaoliang gave a cold laugh and then said, "Let him say what he wants; I have nothing to say."
