chapter 26 Roman-Conti

In the Jade Room of Junan Hotel. Kent Cao, who was over fifty and fat, was drinking red wine with Thomas Song and Maya Ge, surrounded by several bodyguards in suits and leather shoes, standing with their hands down. Maya Ge stood next to Kent Cao at this time, bent down to pour wine for Kent Cao, and said flatteringly: "Boss Cao, we are both juniors. From now on, you, the elder, must take more care of us juniors." Kent Cao looked at Maya Ge, who was wearing a cheongsam, with squinting eyes. When he took the red wine from Maya Ge, he calmly touched Maya Ge's hand twice and said with an ambiguous smile: "Haha, I just like to get along with young people like you. I especially like to take care of beautiful juniors like Miss Ge, hahaha." Maya Ge spat: "Damn!" Thomas Song was laughing along beside him. At this moment, there were two crisp knocks on the door. Then the door of the room was opened, and a waiter came in with a handsome man and a beautiful woman. The waiter said respectfully: "Mr. Cao, Miss Song is here." It turned out that the good looking couple who came in were none other than Noah Chen and Pauline Song. When Pauline Song came in, she realized that not only Boss Cao was here, but Thomas Song and Maya Ge were also here. Ever since her family was kicked out of the big family, she had no good impression of the Song family at all. Seeing Thomas Song and Maya Ge at this time, she was stunned for a moment, and then said coldly: "You are here too. We are not one family and should not come into the same house. Since you are here, there is no need for me to be here. Goodbye." After she finished speaking, she wanted to leave with Noah Chen. But Thomas Song stood up and said deliberately: "Pauline Song, why are you doing this?" Maya Ge also came over and said, "Yes, you are here tonight to discuss investment with Boss Cao. In business, it is your fault to mix up your personal feelings." Kent Cao also came over at this moment and said with a smile: "Ms. Song, feelings are feelings and business is business. I am going to invest a large sum of money in your project this time, and I also took the initiative to invite you to meet and talk. But you just came and wanted to leave, isn’t this a bit disrespectful to me?” Pauline Song also felt that business should not be based on emotions. Now the company was short of funds and urgently needed investment from consortiums. Besides, the Cao family was the top wealthy family in Zhonghai, and Kent Cao was influential in all fields in Zhonghai. If she offended him, she would basically stop doing business in Zhonghai. She forced herself to calm down, then forced out a smile and said, "What Boss Cao said is that I was acting emotionally. Okay, for Boss Cao's sake, I'll stay and talk about investment matters." Kent Cao smiled and said, "That's right. Come sit down and talk." As he spoke, he stretched out one hand to Pauline Song's thin waist and wanted to sit down with his arm around her. But just as his hand reached halfway, Noah Chen suddenly reached out and shook his hand. Noah Chen looked at Kent Cao with a half-smile: "Boss Cao, nice to meet you." Kent Cao looked at Noah Chen in shock and anger: "Who are you?" Pauline Song also noticed Kent Cao's actions from the corner of her eye just now. She was just about to avoid it, but she didn't expect that Noah Chen had already cleverly stopped Kent Cao's attempt. She looked at Kent Cao with caution at this time and introduced: "His name is Noah Chen and he is my husband." Kent Cao looked at Noah Chen and said with a smile: "Miss Song's husband. I wonder what you do?" Noah Chen said calmly: "Defend the country!" Kent Cao opened his eyes wide: "What?" Thomas Song said with a smile: "Boss Cao, don't listen to his bragging. In fact, he used to be a poor soldier, but now he has retired and is an idle man without a job." When Kent Cao heard this, he mocked Noah Chen and said, "Oh, this is the first time I have seen a poor soldier talk so noble." After he finished speaking, he took his hand away from Noah Chen, disdainful to shake hands with a lowly unemployed vagrant like Noah Chen. Thomas Song and Maya Ge looked at Noah Chen and Pauline Song, and they were happy to see this. Pauline Song looked at Noah Chen with some worry. She was afraid that Noah Chen would have his pride hurt, and she was also afraid that Noah Chen would get angry and hit others. After all, Noah Chen had never tolerated others. Pauline Song held Noah Chen's hand tightly and defended him: "Without soldiers, there will be no peace. The responsibility of soldiers is to protect our homes and the country. I think Noah Chen is right, and soldiers are inherently glorious and noble!" Kent Cao coveted Pauline Song's body, so he would not quarrel with Pauline Song. He immediately followed Pauline Song's words and said with a smile: "Miss Song's words are reasonable. I am convinced. Come on, everyone, sit down.” After Kent Cao, Thomas Song, Maya Ge, Noah Chen, and Pauline Song sat down. Kent Cao asked his men to bring out a bottle of red wine. It turned out to be a bottle of Roman-Conti top-notch red wine worth millions yuan. Roman-Conti red wine was the world's top red wine. Compared to it, the famous Lafite was a beggar's wine. Kent Cao wanted to show the charm of his money in front of Pauline Song. He believed that few women could resist the charm of money, especially women like Pauline Song whose company was short of funds. Thomas Song and Maya Ge were both stunned by Kent Cao's feat. There were many people who could afford to drive a million-yuan luxury car, but there were really only a few people who could afford a million-yuan bottle of red wine. Maya Ge opened the bottle herself, poured the red wine into the decanter, and then poured wine for everyone. Kent Cao picked up the wine glass and said to them with a smile: "Here, let me toast you all, Miss Song, Thomas, Maya, who else?" Pauline Song: "Noah Chen!" Kent Cao smiled and said: "Yes, I also respect Noah Chen. I forgot it in the blink of an eye." Everyone present knew that Kent Cao deliberately eliminated Noah Chen and mocked Noah Chen as a nobody and not worthy of being remembered. Noah Chen said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. It will be difficult for you to forget me in the future." Kent Cao vaguely felt a hint of edge from Noah Chen's words. He sneered and said, "Not necessarily, I take care of everything every day. I handle over 100 million yuan in funds every day, and I meet countless powerful people every day. I really don’t remember ordinary people.” Pauline Song felt the smell of gunpowder in the air, and she quickly said: "Let’s drink." After saying that, she drank the red wine in the glass first as a courtesy. Kent Cao smiled, and he, Thomas Song, and Maya Ge also drank from their glasses. However, after Kent Cao took a sip of wine, he suddenly said to Noah Chen: "Noah Chen, with your status, you will never be able to drink a sip of such a high-end wine." When Kent Cao said these words, Thomas Song and Maya Ge looked at Noah Chen gloating. They both knew that Boss Cao did this on purpose. He was deliberately showing off his strength in front of Pauline Song and ridiculing Noah Chen at the same time. Then the image of Boss Cao and Noah Chen would be judged in front of Pauline Song. Pauline Song must despise Noah Chen for being embarrassed, and would admire Boss Cao. Then Boss Cao would be able to capture Pauline Song's heart. Boss Cao’s skill was wonderful! Everyone in the room looked at Noah Chen, wanting to see Noah Chen's shameful, angry, helpless and furious look. Pauline Song was worried that Noah Chen's self-esteem would be hurt. She was already considering giving up accepting Kent Cao's investment and leaving with Noah Chen directly. She would rather not invest than suffer the humiliation of her husband. However, Noah Chen remained calm. Under the gaze of everyone, he picked up the red wine glass, took a sip of the wine, then spat it out. He put the glass down, and said coldly: "Fake wine." Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at Kent Cao in surprise. Kent Cao's face darkened and his voice became stern: "Boy, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. I kindly entertained you with top-quality red wine, but you falsely accused me by saying it was fake wine. Today, if you can't prove that this wine is fake, I want you to swallow all the wine bottles into your stomach!" Qianqian
