Three days.
The old gentleman's private birthday party is in three days. Yu Jingchen has been doing particularly well lately. In addition, if the old gentleman really likes Yu Shishu, I feel that he will be persuaded by Yu Jingchen to invest in him. The old gentleman is very cautious in his investments and it is rare for him to invest in two companies in a row. Even if someone persuades the old gentleman today, there will definitely be further investigation afterward. However, the opportunity to be investigated is already very rare.
Ye Zhiwei didn't quite understand this kind of social interaction, but Ji Shuli understood it better and laughed, "Since it's a cocktail party and a birthday banquet, we definitely have to do something to please him. Every year, Peng Yuezeng has a special event at his cocktail party: he invites people who are interested in wine to do blind tastings. Of course, everyone participates, but only a few wine experts who come specifically to taste the wine really make it interesting. However, it seems that those experts always make some jokes. On the other hand, there are several people who are just wine lovers whose insights can make Peng Yuezeng laugh out loud. Of course, they are not exactly wine connoisseurs."
Ye Zhiwei understood; it was simply a project the old man had decided to play on a whim.
Ye Zhiwei knew that Ji Shuli could drink. When Grandpa Ji went abroad due to poor health, Ji Shuli took out most of the wine he had privately stored in the country. She guessed that Ji Shuli's group of cronies had encouraged him to drink a lot.
Ye Zhiwei asked directly, "So, after drinking most of Grandpa's wine cellar, do you know how to appreciate wine?"
"I haven't tried it yet."
On a whim, Ye Zhiwei invited Ji Shuli and Jiang Jianian to try it out together.
She only prepared three kinds of wine. Since Jiang Jianian hadn't drunk much before, Ye Zhiwei let Jiang Jianian drink some first, and then she poured wine into the same glass.
Ji Shuli guessed one correctly.
Jiang Jianian got all of them right.
Ji Shuli was surprised. He seemed not to believe it. He directly asked Ye Zhiwei to go to the wine cellar and get five more bottles of wine. After Jiang Jianian had taken a sip of each, he mixed the five bottles together and asked Jiang Jianian to taste them. Then he mixed the previous eight wines and asked Jiang Jianian to name them.
Almost all of them are correct.
Ji Shuli: ? ? ?
Ye Zhiwei: ? ? ?
Ji Shuli let Ye Zhiwei drink some as well, and asked Ye Zhiwei, "Can you taste any difference?"
Ye Zhiwei took a deep breath and said quietly, "I feel like... they're all about the same."
"Yes, I also think they're about the same. How did you manage to taste the difference, Xiao Jiang?"
Jiang Jianian narrowed his eyes and replied indifferently, "The taste of the wine is a little different."
Ji Shuli asked Ye Zhiwei, "Little cousin, can you tell... anything different about the taste?"
Ye Zhiwei silently took another sip or two, then shook her head and said, "I think they're about the same."
Although Ji Shuli could taste the differences in some wines, he couldn't be like Jiang Jianian, who could accurately name a wine after drinking it only once. Many of his friends were just following the trend, occasionally trying to be sophisticated, buying whatever wine was expensive, and they couldn't really taste any differences.
Ye Zhiwei gave Ji Shuli a deep look, and then whispered in his ear, "I think it's not necessarily a difference between wines, but a difference between people."
It turns out that if God likes someone, He really will keep feeding them!
With Jiang Jianian acting as a bug, Ji Shuli practically ransacked Old Master Ji's wine cellar again. After finishing the old man's wine cellar, he and Ye Zhiwei also took away some of the expensive wines that Ye Qingcheng had received as gifts from others.
Finally, Ji Shuli also took with him a bottle of wine that his grandfather had repeatedly told him to keep while he was abroad. The wine was his favorite, which he was keeping to enjoy when he returned to China. He had it beautifully packaged and prepared to give to Peng Yuezeng on that day.
After finishing, Ji Shuli told Ye Zhiwei, "Little cousin, I only took out Grandpa's bottle of wine secretly for your sake. If Grandpa blames me, you have to speak up for me."
