Chapter 1718 - 1719: Drained in One Go

If I can learn inertia drifting, then I'd be the coolest kid at Blue Sea Racecourse!

But he felt it wasn't appropriate to go over and say hi right now

because last time Mu Wanqing accompanied Lin Xian the whole time, making him mistakenly think that the two had a close relationship. And now Lin Xian

came to the KTV with five gorgeous ladies...

As he hesitated, Zhuang had already booked a private room, and Lin Xian turned his head, just noticing him

Seeing this, Zhang Peng no longer hesitated, quickly greeted with a smile: "Brother Lin, what a coincidence!"

"Just got here?"

Lin Xian looked over the few people and casually asked.

"Yeah!"

Zhang Peng nodded, then turned to give a reminder glare at Green Hair and the others, "What are you standing around for, say hi!"

"Hello, Brother Lin!"

Green Hair and the others snapped out of it and hurriedly greeted respectfully.

Lin Xian's name had spread throughout the two circles of Jinling, even overshadowing Huang Yijing and Wei Xun.

Facing such a big shot, Green Hair and the others naturally showed more respect.

"Alright then, have fun!"

Lin Xian smiled, turned to leave.

He wasn't familiar with Yellow Hair; just a greeting was enough, no need or interest to chat further.

Zhang Peng leaned in, lowered his voice and said: "Brother Lin, rest assured, this group of brothers of mine are tight-lipped, Wanqing won't find out."

Hearing this, Lin Xian couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle.

But he was too lazy to explain, wrapped an arm around Zhuang Tong's shoulder, and headed to the second-floor private room.

Xuanxuan and the other two followed behind, as she noticed Yin Xiaolei's strange expression, she couldn't help but lower her voice and ask: "What's up?"

"I think I've seen that Green Hair before." Yin Xiaolei whispered into her ear.

"And then?"

Xuanxuan raised an eyebrow, somewhat baffled.

Seeing her reaction, Yin Xiaolei lost her interest and didn't say any more.

She had seen Green Hair at a classmate's birthday party once, heard he was a second-generation rich kid, and back then, he was the center of attention, couldn't be more impressive.

But just now in front of Lin Xian, he was like a quail.

Thinking of this, Yin Xiaolei found it kind of funny, and she couldn't help but grow more envious when looking at Zhuang Tong.

In their little group, Zhang Ya was the most meticulous, and also a year older than them, so she always played the role of the big sister.

Zhang Ya sharply noticed Yin Xiaolei's odd behavior, couldn't help sighing softly, and whispered in her ear: "Think it through, don't make any rash decisions out of impulse."

Yin Xiaolei was slightly startled, then nodded.

Entering the private room, shortly after sitting down, a waiter brought in a fruit platter and drinks.

The drinks were Black Ace black edition. Lin Xian instructed the waiter to open a bottle, then poured himself a glass.

He brought the glass to his nose, sniffed it, and set it back down without changing expression, lightly chuckling: "Have your manager take these drinks away and replace them with a new batch."

Although he hadn't been drinking for long, he had had at least ten, if not a hundred, Black Ace blacks during this period.

He was very familiar with Black Ace.

Just now, he didn't smell the familiar fruit aroma at all.

It was clearly fake wine!

Lin Xian wasn't short of money, but he didn't like to be treated as a fool, not to mention fake wine could be harmful, who could guarantee it?

The waiter's expression changed, forcing a smile, and asked, "Sir, is there something wrong?"

"Tell your manager, he'll know what to do!" Lin Xian leaned on the sofa, instructed.

It's not unusual for such incidents to happen at KTVs.

It's just that when it happens to oneself, it's a bit unpleasant.

"Alright, sir, please wait a moment!"

The waiter said, took out a walkie-talkie from his waist, and stepped out of the private room.

Seeing this, Zhuang Tong came closer and asked, "Honey, what's the matter?"

Lin Xian smiled and explained, "Nothing much, the taste of the wine was off, so I asked them to change it."

"The wine is fake?"

Xuan widened her eyes, exclaimed.

Lin Xian chuckled, "Can't say it's fake, just that it's not Black Ace."

Fake wine is like fake antiques.

Strictly speaking, you can't say the antique is fake, just that it's a modern reproduction.

Fake wine is the same, it's essentially still wine, just not a particular brand.

Xuan realized, "No wonder I felt strange during dinner."

"Strange, how?" Lin Xian asked curiously.

The Black Aces at Mei Garden were genuinely authentic.

Xuan said with a serious face, "When I drink at KTV, I can down seven to eight bottles of beer without getting drunk, but just now at dinner, a few glasses of champagne and I felt tipsy."

"Before, I was puzzled why my tolerance seemed to decrease, turns out the drinks at KTV were fake!"

"Hehe!"

Zhuang Tong and the others couldn't hold back and burst into laughter.

The seriously earnest look on Xuan's face, along with those words, was just too funny.

She also found it amusing and joined in the laughter.

In fact, it's true, many people find themselves with a much higher tolerance when at a KTV.

Besides the atmosphere, fake wine plays a big part...

As they laughed, a still-elegant middle-aged woman, wearing a fiery red evening gown, pushed the door open and entered the private room.

The middle-aged woman scanned the group, eventually focusing on Lin Xian.

Upon seeing Lin Xian clearly, her eyes slightly changed, and she quickly walked to the table, picked up the previously opened fake wine, and poured three glasses.

Then, to the surprise of Zhuang and the others, she downed all three glasses in quick succession.

After drinking, the middle-aged woman smiled and said, "I'm the manager of Qingguo KTV, Li Li. I'm really sorry for the earlier mishap, the staff accidentally grabbed the wrong wine, so I apologize here."

Then she turned and instructed the waiter behind her, "Take these drinks away and get the customers a new batch, also bring a bottle of Royal Salute."

Truly a pro in the nightlife scene, quick to size up the situation and adept at handling matters.

Upon entering, Li Li quickly glanced over everyone.

Zhuang Xing, Xuanxuan and the others, though fashionably dressed, still carried a hint of student vibe.

So Li Li quickly brushed them aside and focused on Lin Xian.

The waiter might not see it, but Li Li immediately noticed Lin Xian's suit was clearly custom-made.

The gentle demeanor, paired with that calm expression, made Li Li's heart skip a beat, knowing this person wasn't simple.

Qingguo KTV was well-known, so most second-generation kids in Jinling had been there, and Li Li naturally knew quite a few.

This kind of aura, she'd only seen it on Meng Xu before.

So she didn't hesitate to down three penalty drinks, then instructed the waiter to replace the drinks, "one-nine-zero", and also gifted a bottle of Royal Salute as compensation.

This is the skill of sizing it up and handling accordingly.

For others, Li Li might just offer a brief apology, give a few beers or a fruit platter and brush it off.

A bottle of Royal Salute isn't cheap, it equates to not earning off Lin Xian and the others tonight.

But truth be told, this way of handling it really makes a person feel good.

Lin Xian looked at her with a faint smile and said, "No need for the Royal Salute, not used to it, just replace it with two fruit platters!"

As expected!

Li Li's heart skipped a beat, but her smile remained unchanged, replying, "No problem! Should you need anything, feel free to call on me, I won't disturb you any longer!"
