Chapter 500: Marlene, are you here to mess things up?

Several active-minded girls have already focused their attention on Shao Feng: Xiao Peng must be a good friend to treat his friends like this. Looking at Shao Feng's relaxed and unsurprised look, he must have seen a lot of the world. Birds of a feather flock together. Xiao Peng might be a little difficult to chase, but it seems that his friends can do it.

Shao Feng was not surprised. He had never seen such a big bottle of champagne. But in his eyes, this champagne was only worth about 10,000 or 20,000 euros at most. Why make a fuss?

Most champagnes are affordable, unless they're vintage. The bottle itself clearly isn't antique: how can you find vintage champagne in a metal bottle? Besides, champagne isn't valuable simply because of the size of the bottle. This champagne, with its shiny exterior, is definitely a "nightclub favorite," so it shouldn't be too expensive.

It feels like showing off your expensive gold Rolex watch to a mountain village. People don't recognize it at all and just think it's a watch at most.

But in the eyes of those who know what they are doing, Xiao Peng's behavior is extraordinary.

This bottle of wine is truly the treasure of 'VIP'. In all the years they've been running the nightclub, they've only sold a handful of this bottle. The reason is simple: it's too expensive!

This champagne is produced by Cartier, the same brand that specializes in luxury goods. Their experience in the luxury goods business has taught them: what does it mean to be successful? It's when buying things, they don't seek the best! They seek the most expensive!

And since Cartier is a jewelry luxury brand, naturally what it is best at is making money from women.

The so-called "she economy" is gaining popularity worldwide. As Jack Ma put it, "Whoever captures women captures consumption; women are the true consumer force." Within the market value hierarchy, there exists a hierarchy: "girls are greater than children, greater than young women, greater than the elderly, greater than dogs, greater than men." As a "friend of women," Cartier firmly recognizes this.

So they let their wineries launch such a wine, using women's favorite shiny colors and tall bottles, which makes people look so different at first glance. The price is very high, specifically to attract female consumers.

The initial release was a 30-liter bottle of champagne, which proved quite popular, leading them to expand on this with the current 100-pound bottle of Armand Rose. On the VIP menu, this bottle costs nearly 300,000 euros! The exact price is 299,999 euros!

The quality of this wine is truly mediocre, but how many people in the world can actually tell the difference between good and bad champagne? Just like the sparkling wine Xiao Peng drank in Germany, it wasn't nearly as good as French champagne! And this wine isn't even meant for wine lovers. Just like how many people in China buy Moutai actually drink it? Even if they do, it's for entertaining. And what about champagne, which is supposedly a "face wine" and a "wine for occasions"?

Isn't Xiao Peng buying this wine just for 'face'?

The waiter stacked up the champagne tower, and several waiters asked Xiao Peng to open the champagne. Xiao Peng directly gave the job to Shao Feng: This is not for him to show off, he is giving Shao Feng a chance to perform.

Everyone's attention was on him when he opened the champagne. With the sound of the champagne bottle being opened, the whole audience burst into cheers and applause.

Several staff members struggled to lift the wine bottles and prepare to pour the wine. It was not an easy task to pour directly from such a tall champagne tower with such a heavy wine bottle. A few tables were moved to the side, and several staff members stood on the tables and started pouring the wine.

This made Xiao Peng anxious. He pushed the waiter away, picked up the bottle, stood on the table and started pouring the wine. He lifted the bottle weighing more than 100 kilograms as easily as a beer bottle. After he poured all the wine in the champagne tower, he just picked up the top glass of wine and was about to hand it to Shao Feng, but a figure walked over and took the glass from Xiao Peng and drank it all in one gulp!

Xiao Peng laughed angrily after seeing who it was. "Marin, are you here to rob? This is the most precious first cup, meant for my good brother!"

The person who came was Marlene Walter! After hearing what Xiao Peng said, she put the empty wine glass in her hand heavily on the table: "What are you talking about! I was planning to trouble you after you solved the problem in Germany, but now that you are back, there is something I want to talk to you about!"

Xiao Peng was stunned after hearing this: "Why are you bothering me when things are going well? Are you here to mess things up?"

Marlene said angrily, "How dare you ask me this? Why don't you tell me what you did to my brother?"

Xiao Peng frowned. "What's wrong with Felix? Did that charity fund make him arrogant and unruly? What's going on? Tell me, I'll go and beat him up! Why call me Master? Even if I beat him up, he'll just take it!"

Marlene was stunned after hearing this. After looking Xiao Peng up and down for a long time, she said, "You are quite good at acting!"

"What kind of drama am I putting on?" Xiao Peng was furious after hearing this. "Let's talk about it! How did I offend you? I didn't teach Felix to do anything bad!"

Instead, Shao Feng on the side spoke: "Brother, why don't you introduce yourself?"

Xiao Peng suddenly realized: "Oh, let me introduce you. I told you I have an apprentice, and this is my apprentice's sister! She's also a very famous French actress named Marlene Walter. She's a big star!"

Shao Feng quickly said, "I can tell, she's really beautiful! I'm wondering if there's any misunderstanding between you two? Why don't you sit down and talk it over?"

After hearing this, Malin sat down angrily, and Shao Feng happily handed her a glass of champagne. Xiao Peng laughed when he saw it, thinking that Shao Feng was really thoughtful!

After taking another sip of champagne, Malin asked Xiao Peng, "Xiao, tell me the truth, are you teaching my brother to be bold in pursuing love?"

Xiao Peng nodded after hearing this. "Yeah, I did say that. Hi, here's the thing. Think about it, Felix has been practicing piano since he was a child, and he doesn't have any good childhood memories at all. Think about that innocent love you had when you were in school. Isn't it still full of aftertaste when you think about it now? So I told him to pursue love boldly, so that he can have sweet memories in the future. Is there a problem with that?"

Marlene sneered after hearing this, "Is there a problem? It's a big problem! Do you remember why his charity foundation is established?"

"Isn't it to take care of the families of firefighters who died or were injured in the line of duty?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.

Marlene nodded. "Yes, that's right! But what if the firefighter's family member is the love he's pursuing, and is also the mother of his classmate? Tell me, what should I do?"

"What did you say?"
