Chapter 261: Chapter 261 Drunkard Entangles Her 3_1

Lu Zhengchen looked at the smile on Shen Tianxing’s beautiful face.

She looked so beautiful while smiling; yet her smile always seemed to carry an intimidating aura, preventing him from harboring any thoughts of disrespect or undue familiarity.

His heart felt a bit apprehensive, but in the end he steeled himself and voiced his request.

"Little Doctor, it’s like this. I am a wine connoisseur, and just now I saw Old Yang carrying out a bottle of wine, treasuring it like a precious possession, so I knew it must be excellent. I played the rascal and badgered him insistently, managing to wheedle a cup of this wine to taste. Unexpectedly, upon tasting it, I was completely conquered by the wine!"

"I’ve heard that this wine is called Spiritual Wine and that it comes from Tianji Pavilion, and since you are a disciple of Tianji Pavilion, I would like to earnestly request that you help introduce me to the master winemaker who crafted this exquisite wine."

Shen Tianxing asked with some puzzlement, "What do you want to see her for?"

Lu Zhengchen pleaded earnestly, "The taste and the effects of this Spiritual Wine are simply astonishing! I’ve roamed the wine country for decades, and I can say that I’ve never tasted a wine so fine in flavor and so potent in effect. I wish to persuade the master winemaker to enter our Spiritual Wine on behalf of Shenzhou Country in the 10th International Wine Festival competition."

Shen Tianxing furrowed her brows and asked several questions in succession, "The wine competition at the 10th International Wine Festival? Who is organizing it? Where will it be held? And when is the competition taking place?"

Lu Zhengchen replied, "The organizer is the Federal Empire, the venue is the capital city of the Federal Empire, Eternal City, and the competition date is October 20th. We, the participating countries, must arrive in Eternal City before the 19th."

Shen Tianxing uttered a soft "Oh," looked down, interlocked her fingers in front of her, and remained silent for a long while.

Seeing her deep in thought with her head bowed, Lu Zhengchen didn’t dare to disturb her and just sat quietly to one side, waiting for her response.

After a good while, Shen Tianxing finally lifted her gaze toward him and, in a deep voice, asked, "Mr. Lu, besides wanting our Tianji Pavilion’s Spiritual Wine to win first place in the international competition, do you have any other goals?"

These answers had been swirling in his heart for decades.

Now that Shen Tianxing had asked, Lu Zhengchen immediately replied, "Apart from wanting to achieve the honor of first place, I also wish for Shenzhou’s fine wines to be renowned across the world. Just as when people mention wine, they think of F Country, I too dream of a day when a particular wine is mentioned, and people will think of Shenzhou..."

Shen Tianxing watched Lu Zhengchen speak until the end, his face filled with longing, and she felt a ripple in her heart.

It proved that Mr. Lu, who had received heavenly blessings, had made significant contributions in the wine industry.

Such a person, wholeheartedly dedicated to his people and his country, and deeply passionate about promoting this industry at an international level, truly deserved her respect and admiration.

Shen Tianxing thought for a moment, "To convince us to agree to enter this Spiritual Wine in the International Wine Festival competition, Mr. Lu, please explain in detail how to participate in the competition, what the consequences of participating are, or rather, if our Tianji Pavilion’s Spiritual Wine wins first place, what kind of problems might arise for us? We must be mentally prepared for all these."

Lu Zhengchen nodded continuously, "You’re right, absolutely right. I should indeed explain these details to you."

"If Tianji Pavilion agrees to participate in the competition, then at least five bottles of Spiritual Wine must be provided for tasting."

"If Tianji Pavilion’s Spiritual Wine takes first place, they will receive 1.88 million Federal Currency in prize money, which is equivalent to more than 10 million Shenzhou Currency, as well as an honorary certificate and trophy from the International Wine Festival, and so on."

"If Tianji Pavilion’s Spiritual Wine takes first place, besides the prize money and reputation, what follows is worldwide fame, and many international wine merchants will seek you out to discuss collaboration opportunities."

"At that time, there might be some short-sighted fools who will use some tactics to pressurize you into compliance, such incidents have happened quite a few times in the past. This is also a kind of trouble that comes with gaining international fame!"

"But if this Spiritual Wine really goes on the market, it will definitely be a big fat piece of business; I just don’t know whether the Little Doctor from Tianji Pavilion is interested in this?"

After listening to him, Shen Tianxing did some quick calculations in her mind.

She took out five bottles of Spiritual Wine, thinking if she took first place, more than 10 million would be credited to her account, which was pretty good.

She had great confidence in the Spiritual Wine she had brewed; if she truly entered it into the competition, the Spiritual Wine would surely become famous in one stroke.

However, she hadn’t yet decided whether she wanted to bring this Spiritual Wine to market.

While marketing the Spiritual Wine might bring her a large sum of money,

it would consequently require a lot of her time and energy, which would conflict with the leisurely life she desired to lead.

She wasn’t short of money at present; on the contrary, even just the income from Xingxi Beauty Co., Ltd. was quite considerable and intimidating.

So, she was somewhat reluctant to get involved in the Spiritual Wine business.

Once she decided to market the Spiritual Wine, the authentic brew she made would definitely not be available on a large scale; then she would have to busy herself with adjusting the product to suit the market, hiring management personnel, setting up a company, and so on...

Just thinking about all these things gave Shen Tianxing a bit of a headache.

In the end, she asked Lu Zhengchen, "Mr. Lu, can I entrust you with handling all these competition matters?"

Lu Zhengchen immediately nodded, "Of course, you can. As long as you write a letter of authorization entrusting me, I can take care of everything for you. However, the master brewer must be present for the competition—that, I cannot assist with!"

Shen Tianxing smiled, "That’s not a problem; I brewed the Spiritual Wine. I just don’t want to show up for now. When it’s time for the competition, I will go with you."

Lu Zhengchen then asked tentatively, "Little Doctor, have you considered marketing the Spiritual Wine?"

Shen Tianxing replied with a smile, "Since it’s Spiritual Wine, it requires a lot of precious medicinal ingredients for brewing. Like the Spiritual Wine I previously gave to Manager Yang, it’s meant for personal consumption and has great effects. Such a product cannot be mass-produced; taking it to market is not possible."

Lu Zhengchen immediately took the hint, "Then let’s focus on winning this wine competition first. We can talk about everything else later. I still have some connections in the wine industry. If the Little Doctor wants to bring the Spiritual Wine to market, just give me a shout, I will absolutely support you all the way!"
