"It would be great if he can buy a bottle of Erguotou!"

"He just came out of it. Where can he have money to buy expensive wine?"

"that is……"

All the relatives looked at Fjordic Provost with contempt.

"It's a bottle of old wine given by a friend."

As Fjordic Provost spoke, he took out an old wine bottle from his arms.

The bottle was wrapped in tattered brown paper.

It was so dirty that the trademark pattern could no longer be discerned.

I can only vaguely see the two large artistic characters "Lai Mao" written in the middle.

"What kind of wine is this? It's broken like this, can you still drink it?"

"It's not blended with industrial alcohol in some handicraft workshop, right?"

"Yeah, don't drink people to death!"

The relatives looked at the wine bottle in Fjordic Provost's hand with disgust on their faces.

At least I can just buy a bottle of Erguotou for a few yuan!

It was so shabby to actually bring out such a shabby bottle of wine!

"Hahaha~"

At this time, Everett Welch burst out laughing.

Everyone fell silent for a moment.

"Fjordic Provost, you are so funny! Could you tell me that this bottle of wine is from the legendary Laimao Bar?"

Everett Welch smiled.

"It seems to be called Lai Maojiu."

Fjordic Provost said calmly.

"You just got a bottle of Maotai, but you actually got Lai Mao liquor. Do you know how much this Lai Mao liquor is worth?"

Everett Welch sneered.

"This bottle of wine was given to me by a friend. I don't know how much it's worth."

Fjordic Provost still said calmly.

This wine was indeed collected by an old superior, and Fjordic Provost was given a bottle as a gift before leaving.

"Hmph! The last auction price of this kind of Lai Mao wine reached 10 million for a bottle!"

Everett Welch snorted coldly.

"What? Ten million?"

"Oh my God? One sip would cost hundreds of thousands," he said.

? "

"No way? Where can such expensive wine be found?"

Everyone said in surprise.

"You don't know that this kind of Lai Mao liquor was produced by the predecessor manufacturer of Moutai. It was produced in the 1930s, which is almost a hundred years ago!"

Everett Welch smiled and said: "Besides, there are less than a hundred bottles of Laimao wine in existence now, so it is worth ten million!"

"Oh my god! Is there really wine worth ten million?"

"My eyes have been opened today!"

"If I could have a taste of this Lai Mao wine..."

Everyone was salivating when they heard Everett Welch explanation.

"However, unfortunately, almost all Laimao wine on the market is fake, so I will not drink this bottle of wine!"

Everett Welch smiled meaningfully.

"this……"

Everyone was stunned.

"Yes, Fjordic Provost just came out of it, how could he get wine worth ten million?"

"He just said...it was a gift from his friend."

"Pull him down, isn't his friend a prison inmate? If there is any good person, he is probably a counterfeiter!"

Everyone felt that Fjordic Provost’s bottle of wine was fake!

Fjordic Provost had no expression on his face, pretending not to hear everyone's misunderstandings and ridicules.

"Fjordic, open this wine, let me taste the ten million wine, what does it taste like!"

Edmund Provost smiled happily and quickly rescued Fjordic Provost.

"good!"

Fjordic Provost unscrewed the dark fire paint on the bottle cap and opened the bottle cap of Lai Mao Liquor.

Suddenly, the aroma of wine overflowed!

"Wow! This wine tastes really good! It can't be real, right?"

"With industrial fragrance added, can it not smell fragrant?"

"Yes, you can taste it if you want. I won't taste it anyway..."

Everyone whispered.

Xiao

Fjordic poured out the fake Hennessy from his father's cup and poured it into the genuine Mao liquor.

I saw this wine, dark yellow in color, poured into the cup, full but not overflowing, and seemed a little viscous.

"Who else wants it?"

Fjordic Provost raised the bottle and asked.

"I don't dare to drink, thank you!"

Everett Welch laughed and said, "I'll just drink my fake Hennessy!"

"I don't want it either!"

"I drink foreign wine too!"

"Even if the foreign wine is fake, isn't it still XO?"

Everyone covered their cups.

"Dad, then I'll drink with you!"

Fjordic Provost smiled.

"Okay, let us drink five million each from him today!"

Edmund Provost smiled.

"You are old, just drink three million, I will drink seven million!"

Fjordic Provost smiled.

"You brat, how dare you underestimate your father's drinking capacity..."

"Dad! You'd better stop drinking. This wine may be... very strong!"

Paloma Provost said worriedly, and then glanced at Fjordic Provost with disappointment.

"fine."

Edmund Provost raised his neck and drank the glass of Laimao wine in one gulp.

Everyone fell silent and watched Edmund Provost's reaction.

Edmund Provost, however, held up the empty cup in his hand blankly and said nothing for a long time.

"dad!"

Paloma Provost shouted worriedly.

"Tsk! Good wine! It's really decades-old wine!"

Edmund Provost exclaimed in surprise.

"Dad...you didn't drink the two kinds of wine together and tasted the wrong thing, did you?"

Paloma Provost didn't believe at all that Xiao Beifeng could bring any good wine!

"I've been drinking all my life. I still can't taste good wine and bad wine?"

Edmund Provost said displeasedly.

"Uncle, you don't know how deep the tricks of counterfeiting wine are. Only you can't think of it, but they can't do it!"

Everett Welch drank his fake Hennessy and laughed.

"Yeah, what

Industrial fragrance and formaldehyde are all mixed in! "

"That's nothing. I heard that some fake wines are also laced with dichlorvos!"

"that is……"

Everyone agreed with Everett Welch.

"Dad Paloma, please drink less!"

Linnet also said worriedly: "Everyone is eating vegetables, and the vegetables are cold!"

Only then did everyone start eating.

"Fjordic Provost, what are your plans when you come back this time?" asked my sister-in-law.

"When I come back this time, I just want to be filial to my parents and make up for the shortcomings of the past few years!"Fjordic Provost said.

"What kind of filial piety are you doing? Don't even think about staying at home and eating your old age!"

"That's it, quickly find a job to make money and pay back the money you deceived others! Don't let your parents worry anymore!"

"Yes, those debt collectors are vicious every time they come! You'd better move out and let them come to you to ask for money!"

"I will handle this matter myself and won't let those little kids harass my parents again!"

Fjordic Provost said calmly.

He is looking for the people who framed him back then!

If they dare to come again, there will be no need to look for them!

"Fjordic, don't worry, take a few days' rest first, and then find a suitable job. The future will be good... and then we can start a family. I will close my eyes when I die!"

Edmund Provost sighed.

"Starting a family? Who wants to marry someone like him...who has been in it before?"

"People like him can't even find a job, let alone start a family!"

"yes……"

the relatives murmured.

"Uncle, if that doesn't work, let Fjordic Provost come to our company first!"

Everett Welch smiled and said, "I'll tell my dad, and for Paloma's sake, he will definitely agree!"

"Isn't this... inappropriate?"

Edmund Provost frowned slightly.

"Is there anything inappropriate! Fjordic Provost is so

What a bargain! "

"Yes, you can't just enter the Everett family's company!"

"This time Fjordic Provost comes back, he is in the spotlight of Everett! Everett is really affectionate and righteous!"

Everyone was fawning over Everett Welch. They had long wanted their children to join Everett Welch's company!

"Going to your company? What do you want him to do?"

Paloma Provost asked Everett Welch doubtfully.

"What is his education level?"

Everett Welch asked hypocritically.

"He... got admitted to a prestigious university, but... didn't go to it."

Paloma Provost said in a low voice.

At that time, my father was seriously ill and the family's livelihood was cut off.

In order to provide for her to go to school, Fjordic Provost resolutely tore up the admission notice from a key university to make money to support his family and provide for her to study!

Although Fjordic Provost worked hard and later founded the Fjordic Group, he also lost the opportunity to go to college!

"In high school, you can only start as a security guard!"

Everett Welch sighed hypocritically: "Although I can make the decision in the company, I can't let the people below say that I am nepotistic!"

"security guard?"

Edmund Provost face turned cold.

“The security is pretty good!”

"A person like Fjordic Provost doesn't want to be a security guard, but he still wants to be a manager?"

"that is……"

Everyone said one after another.

"Let's do it first, we have to do it step by step, and I will slowly figure out how to mobilize him!"

Everett Welch frowned and said.

"this……"

This time, even Edmund Provost hesitated.

Yes, it is not easy for someone like Fjordic Provost who has been in prison to find a job as a security guard!

"No need to bother, I'm not interested in being a security guard."

Fjordic Provost glanced at everyone coldly.

An aura of calmness and dignity

It made everyone’s hearts tremble!

At this time, there was a knock on the door in the box...
