However, at this moment, the way these successful individuals and powerful officials drank brought a touch of comicality, making Wei Liqiang feel a bit puzzled.

Everyone was holding a glass of orange-red liquid, savoring the wine delicately, even with a bit of caution, as if afraid the wine would run out.

As Wei Liqiang and Zhang Wanqing approached with a hint of curiosity, they overheard the conversation among these people.

"This wine is truly delicious; I've never tasted such wine in my life." A well-dressed middle-aged man exclaimed with rapture.

"It's my first time too, a clarity and sweetness with a hint of herbal fragrance, the wine's taste is very distinct and pure." The lady accompanying the middle-aged man said, her eyes gleaming.

"It's a pity, each person is limited to just one bottle."

The middle-aged man smacked his lips, expressing some regret.

On the table next to him was a red wine bottle, not very large, probably holding about eight ounces of wine, with ancient golden-red patterns on the bottle, exuding exceptional sophistication.

"I guess it's a very rare wine; otherwise, Feipu Manor would offer it more freely."

The lady remarked.

"What wine is it? Is it really that good?"

Wei Liqiang and Zhang Wanqing exchanged a glance, both with a touch of doubt in their eyes.

At this moment, the two of them walked to an empty seat just as a waiter in a white shirt and bow tie approached them with a tray of wine.

"Greetings to the two distinguished guests. This is the Immortal Orange Wine from our Feipu Manor. Please enjoy it. Currently, only one bottle of Immortal Orange Wine is provided per guest."

The waiter said politely, placing two bottles of wine and glasses on the empty table in front of them.

"Is this the wine that all those bosses are praising?"

Wei Liqiang's gaze fell on the red wine bottle.

On the front of the bottle were three elegant script characters: "Immortal Orange Wine." Below it, in smaller characters, read "Produced by Feipu Manor," with the rest being the ancient golden-red patterns.

As soon as Wei Liqiang opened the wine bottle, a fragrant and unusual aroma wafted out immediately.

The aroma carried the freshness of fruits and vegetables, along with the fragrance of herbs, just a single whiff seemed intoxicating.

"What a sweet and refreshing wine aroma."

Wei Liqiang's eyes instantly brightened.

Beside him, Zhang Wanqing also showed a surprised expression.

Just as Wei Liqiang was about to pour some of the bright red liquid to taste, a voice laughed near his ear.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Wei?"

A plump middle-aged man was holding a goblet, but the red liquid in his goblet was already drained.

"Oh, Director Zhang."

Turning around, Wei Liqiang saw the plump middle-aged man, showed a slight surprise, and then smiled.

The man in front of them was the head of the Yunshui City Commerce Bureau, someone with significant power, whom they, as businessmen, had to deal with courteously.

Just then, as Wei Liqiang was about to pour himself a drink, he noticed that Director Zhang's goblet was empty. Not wanting to serve himself first, he poured half a glass for Director Zhang.

"Ah, Mr. Wei, you're really considerate."

At this, Director Zhang's eyes brightened, his big belly jiggled, and he laughed heartily. The look in his eyes suggested his fondness for Wei Liqiang increased significantly.

Wei Liqiang paused for a moment; it was just a glass of wine, no big deal. However, being a shrewd person, he thought maybe Director Zhang, whom he was not so familiar with, had approached him precisely because of the newly opened wine?

"No worries, don't mention it."

Wei Liqiang responded with a smile, and then poured himself half a glass, with a sense of impatience to taste the wine in the cup.

As the sweet and refreshing wine slipped down his throat, a subtle fragrance spread instantly. The sweetness of the orange, the herbal aroma, and the slight intoxication from the alcohol blossomed on his tongue. Soon, the refreshing wine entered his stomach, making him feel incredibly refreshed.

"Mr. Wei, what's the verdict? Is it good?"

Director Zhang asked with a smile.

"It's excellent wine, truly superb!"

Wei Liqiang's eyes shone with excitement.

He had built himself from scratch, traveling across the country, tasting all kinds of wine, from Erguotou to top-class Bordeaux red wine. Yet, he had never tasted such clear and sweet wine before. Thinking back on those so-called premium wines he had, this was on an entirely different level.

"This wine is produced by Feipu Manor. Whatever it takes, I'll have to bring a few bottles back." Director Zhang said with a laugh, then raised his glass to sip, closing his eyes with a look of ecstasy on his face.

"Director Zhang, now that you're here, does that mean Secretary Zhao will be..."

Wei Liqiang asked.

"Mr. Wei, this time it's not just Secretary Zhao, I've heard that two high-ranking military figures from Capital City will also attend."

A mysterious smile appeared on Director Zhang's lips as he spoke.

"Military figures?"

Wei Liqiang's eyes filled with surprise. Why would military figures attend the opening of a manor?

"Do you know, Mr. Wei, it was the respected elder from the military, Ding Wanfeng, whose illness was cured by the owner of Feipu Manor, using this Immortal Orange Wine and a special medicinal meal. Naturally, Ding Wanfeng would come to support the opening of Feipu Manor."

As if sensing Wei Liqiang's curiosity, Director Zhang explained with a touch of pride.

"Elder Ding?"

Although a businessman, Wei Liqiang had heard of the distinguished elder from the military. Instantly, a look of amazement appeared on his face. No wonder Elder Ding would participate in the opening ceremony of Feipu Manor.

"Director Zhang, who is that lady?"

Wei Liqiang's gaze shifted to a woman dressed in a red qipao, whose exquisite makeup and form-fitting outfit accentuated her tall and perfect figure.

At that moment, she was elegantly welcoming the guests, conversing graciously with each one, expressing her thanks for their attendance.

"She is the general manager of Feipu Manor."

Director Zhang glanced at Li Xinyan and replied.

"Such a young general manager."

Wei Liqiang murmured, assuming the beautiful woman must be the girlfriend or wife of the manor owner.

"However, she seems to be in a bit of trouble right now."

Director Zhang furrowed his brows slightly as he spoke.

Standing in front of Li Xinyan was a man in his thirties. Unlike other guests who released her hand after a brief handshake, Chairman Luo kept holding her hand.

"Chairman Luo, please let go."

Li Xinyan frowned slightly, speaking softly but firmly.

"Manager Li, you have such soft and tender hands. Why not come over to my Celestial Rooster Wine Industries? I'll let you be the general manager there just the same."

Luo Guangwei held onto Li Xinyan's hand, not releasing it, as his gaze lingered over her tall figure, sizing her up.
