Chapter 371: 0370 Debating Wine
The singing voice slowly echoed in the hall, and someone among the people started applauding first, followed by thunderous applause.
"This song is so beautiful, I want to meet this singer. Her voice is very similar to the national goddess Mu Wanqing’s voice, she has great potential."
A music producer who understood music requested to meet the singer, because to him, such a vocal quality was very moving and sang straight to the heart.
Unfortunately, the response given by the host disappointed many who hoped to see the true face of the singer.
The crowd was still discussing the song, savoring each lyric.
Ye Qiu closed his eyes, his body leaning back, half-lying on the sofa when suddenly someone patted him.
Ye Qiu saw an extremely annoyed pretty face, "Hey, was my singing that unpleasing to you? I sang you to sleep?"
Mu Wanqing.
Ye Qiu quickly explained, "I wasn’t sleeping, I was just listening too intently. How could I use your song as a lullaby?"
"Hmph, how did I sing?" Mu Wanqing blinked, she really wanted to hear Ye Qiu’s answer.
"Very well," Ye Qiu said quite sincerely.
"But, it’s just a tad worse than mine."
Listening to Ye Qiu’s thick-skinned self-praise, Mu Wanqing pursed her lips. Talking to this guy was never serious.
Mu Wanqing didn’t believe Ye Qiu’s words and continued, "Come on, let’s try the wine here."
"Mu, the big star, as for me, your little fan, I’ve listened to the song but I’d rather not drink. I should head back first," Ye Qiu pretended to leave.
Mu Wanqing frowned; this guy was actually refusing her invitation.
Just as she was about to get angry, Bai Qi’s voice cut in, "Wan Qing, why bother with this bumpkin? Fine wine is wasted on him. If he wants to go, let him go."
"This isn’t a place for people like him. Who knows where he got the cruise ticket from, maybe he stole it."
Bai Qi spoke harshly, not leaving any face for Ye Qiu, speaking loudly.
The people around cast their gazes. Bai Qi wanted just that effect; if he was going to fix Ye Qiu, it had to be in front of a crowd, to humiliate him. As for throwing Ye Qiu into the sea to feed the fish, that would have been letting him off easy. He deserved a serious humiliation first.
"Bai Qi, you’re going too far with your words. He is my friend," Mu Wanqing said, staring at Bai Qi with some displeasure.
"Kid, are you planning to let a woman stand up for you? What a coward."
"I advise you to gracefully leave this place and go back to where you belong," Bai Qi was relentless, pushing Ye Qiu in a corner.
Ye Qiu had been silent all along, watching Bai Qi’s verbal attack.
Only after Bai Qi stopped talking did Ye Qiu finally speak, "Done talking?"
"Yes, you can choose to stay here, let Wan Qing protect you, but I believe she can’t protect you forever. If you’re a man, you better hurry up and leave. If I were you, I’d have no face to stay here," Bai Qi snickered.
"Clap, clap!" Ye Qiu clapped his hands as he stood up from his seat, "Your goal is to make me leave in disgrace, right? Maybe others would, but not me."
"I’m staying here today. You say I don’t understand wine, well then, how about we compare and debate about wine?" Ye Qiu’s words immediately piqued the interest of many. They had thought, just as Bai Qi had said, Ye Qiu was just a nobody. Some even believed Bai Qi’s words, because judging by appearances, Ye Qiu didn’t look like any sort of wealthy man.
However, the situation changed in the blink of an eye. A young man, who at first glance looked like the very picture of poverty, actually wanted to challenge someone to a wine debate.
This was becoming interesting to watch!
Bai Qi stared at Ye Qiu for two seconds, then suddenly burst into laughter, "You want to debate wine with me? That’s a joke. But since you’ve come to me willingly, I’ll accept the challenge."
Mu Wanqing tugged at Ye Qiu’s sleeve and said in a low voice, "Ye Qiu, what are you blabbering about debating wine for? You’re no match for him."
"You don’t believe in me?" Ye Qiu was dejected. Was he really so weak that he was being looked down upon by a woman? He decided that he had to showcase some of his abilities for her to see.
"I do believe in you, but Bai Qi, he... he owns a vineyard in Europe. Debating wine with him is literally seeking death!" Mu Wanqing cautioned, but the belief she spoke of clearly seemed half-hearted.
Ye Qiu was slightly surprised to learn that Bai Qi owned a vineyard; it was unexpected. However, once words had been spoken in front of such a crowd, they could not be taken back.
Bai Qi sneered. To challenge him in a wine debate was sheer stupidity.
He intended to make Ye Qiu lose face in front of all these pairs of eyes.
Ever since Mu Wanqing had entered the entertainment industry, Bai Qi had taken a liking to this pure girl. He secretly swore to himself that he must have her.
With his considerable influence, Bai Qi found out that not only was Mu Wanqing outstanding, but she also had the support of a mysterious brother—a member of a secret Chinese organization. This was why nobody in the entertainment industry dared to mess with her; they had to weigh the power of the person behind her.
Knowing this connection made Bai Qi all the more determined to get Mu Wanqing. Meanwhile, he started to draw closer to her gradually and became her friend.
He would not allow any accidents to happen, aiming to nip in the bud anyone who could possibly become his rival. In his heart, Bai Qi was reluctant to admit that Ye Qiu gave him a sense of crisis because he could feel that Mu Wanqing’s attitude towards Ye Qiu was different.
As long as he could make Ye Qiu realize that he couldn’t compare with him, Bai Qi would consider himself the winner. Therefore, when Ye Qiu proposed a wine debate to determine superiority, Bai Qi felt even more confident of victory.
"Let’s have everyone here bear witness. We will each debate wine, and the loser will exit this place, leaving the winner to stay," Bai Qi announced to the surrounding crowd, then added another question for Ye Qiu, "You have no objections, right?"
"I agree, let’s do it your way," Ye Qiu replied.
With the conversation having reached this point, Mu Wanqing knew she couldn’t stop their rivalry. She was worried about Ye Qiu: could this guy, who was always joking around, really handle it?
Mu Wanqing harbored a multitude of doubts regarding Ye Qiu’s ability to debate wine.
"How can he be so calm, ah!" Seeing Ye Qiu unfazed, Mu Wanqing’s unease deepened.
She didn’t want to watch Ye Qiu lose face in front of everyone and leave dejectedly, especially since he was her life-saving benefactor. She couldn’t lend a hand in wine debating, so all she could do was pray for a miracle to happen to Ye Qiu.
Ye Qiu and Bai Qi both stood in front of a row of red wines.
The wines before them varied in brand and vintage, and there were easily a hundred different kinds, showing the great difficulty of debating wine; it was no small feat.
"Name the wine and its vintage correctly to get it right. Get even one wrong, and it’ll be considered a loss!" the bartender laid out the rules.
"Agreed."
"Agreed."
Both of them turned their backs to the bartender, waiting for the bartender to pour two glasses of red wine and place them in front of them.
The wine debate competition began!
