"What are you doing? Do you know who you are talking to?" The Waiter Leader, Zhang, saw this, his face changed dramatically, and he quickly stepped forward to scold.

He didn't expect that Liu Ming and his two companions would return so quickly and that their response would be so direct.

At this moment, Secretary Zhu and his party were in high spirits.

If this man disturbed the mood of Secretary Zhu's party, the affair of him deciding to bring over this bottle of wine himself would probably also give a bad impression to Secretary Zhu's group.

Thinking this way, the Waiter Leader became even more anxious and even more irritated by Lin Yun's behavior.

"You tampered with my wine and then asked me what I'm doing?" Lin Yun turned his head, coldly looking at the Waiter Leader, and said.

Hearing Lin Yun's words, the Waiter Leader's face changed again, but at this point, he couldn't say anything. He hurriedly looked at Liu Ming behind Lin Yun, made a gesture with his eyes, and said "Liu Ming, this is your friend, right? He is ignorant, aren't you ignorant as well? I saw that the wine was good, so I brought it over for Secretary Zhu to taste.

If the taste of the wine is good, I intend to recommend selling it in large quantities at Wangxian Tower to the boss. As a member of Wangxian Tower, this is also what you should do, is there a problem?"

In speech, he not only took the matter of liking this bottle of wine upon himself but also specifically highlighted Secretary Zhu's identity.

Secretary Zhu's visit to the Wangxian Tower was not his first, nor his second. The previous times he came, many employees of Wangxian Tower viewed him, how could Liu Ming not recognize him?

Seeing Lin Yun directly approach them and say such unpleasant words earlier, he was already extremely anxious.

However, the wine indeed belonged to Lin Yun, so he didn't know what else to say.

"Brother Lin, this person is our county's Secretary Zhu..." Hearing the Waiter Leader's words, Liu Ming could only look at Lin Yun, his face flushed red as he spoke.

Lin Yun's response made Secretary Zhu frown slightly, feeling very displeased in his heart.

Touching someone else's wine without permission and then getting scolded by the wine's owner, it was indeed a very unpleasant feeling.

He was a little resentful towards the Waiter Leader in his heart.

But the words of the Waiter Leader and the reaction of Liu Ming eased his mood a lot.

Yes, the other party did not know his identity, so it was natural for them to react in such a manner.

Given the other party's young age and impulsive nature, it was understandable.

Now, the other party knew his identity, perhaps they should be afraid?

Perhaps, they would even be excited that his group liked their wine?

Ha ha.

He had encountered many similar situations and was experienced in handling such matters.

"Hehe, little Zhang, don't scare these young brothers. We are public servants, not man-eating tigers. To be honest, we were wrong, we touched their wine without their consent..." As he thought this, Secretary Zhu said, laughing, appearing very magnanimous.

While speaking, he looked kindly at Lin Yun, making himself appear very affable.

Next, the other party might show sincere fear and he would then show up ... after that, he could invite these young people to dine together... this matter might even become an anecdote?

At this moment, he seemed to have already envisioned the eventual outcome of this incident.

"Ha ha, that's right, we were wrong in this matter, Little Zhang, stop scolding them..."

"Little Zhang, there was a problem with your just now. I must point it out..."

The officials around Secretary Zhu laughed as they spoke.

They were all seasoned bureaucrats, surely they knew what to say at this moment?

It seemed like they were apologizing, but between their laughter, it appeared as though the wrongdoers were the others, and that they were a group of magnanimous people.

The previous embarrassment was swept away.

They all seemed to guess the outcome too.

However, reality disappointed them.

"Private property is sacred and inviolable. Can our county secretary casually tamper with other people's wine?" Lin Yun said, unperturbed.

"Or is it that you are so used to tampering with other people's things?" Afterwards, Lin Yun's gaze turned icy cold as he looked at the group of men at the table.

Because of the incident with the tricycle, he had no regard for the senior officials of Immortal Origin County.

He was no longer his former self, so why did he need to give face to these people?

With Lin Yun's words, the scene was suddenly silent.

"You——"

The Waiter Leader stared wide-eyed at Lin Yun, speaking incredulously.

He never anticipated the other party would dare to speak like this, even knowing that Secretary Zhu was sitting at the table.

The faces of Secretary Zhu and his companions took on an ugly expression, a shade of gloom readily visible deep within Secretary Zhu's eyes.

Private property, sacred and inviolable.

Touching someone else's things had become second nature to him.

In reality, no one had ever dared to say such things to him.

However, he also browsed the internet – in recent times, he had seen similar words quite often in the community forum of Immortal Origin County.

Lin Yun's words struck directly at his sensibilities, exposing his shortcomings and instantly souring his mood.

Zhao Gang and Liu Ming both were stunned as well.

They never expected Lin Yun to dare to speak in such a way to the top tiers of Immortal Origin County, including Secretary Zhu, the highest-ranking official.

"How much is this bottle of wine? I will pay double to buy it." The Waiter Leader's face shifted colors before finally turning gloomy as he voiced this with a serious tone.

He had a mental calculation.

In this matter, he had clearly created a poor impression on Secretary Zhu and his companions.

However, there might be a chance to fix it.

Judging from their reaction to the wine, and even Lin Yun's current reaction, he realized that the bottle of wine must be quite valuable.

Buying it at double price might cost him a large sum, yet, seeing his willingness to spend generously, Secretary Zhu and his companions might change their impressions of him.

They might even owe him a favor.

He didn't necessarily want them to owe him a favor, he just didn't want their impression of him to worsen.

The admiration and esteem he received from relatives and friends, he wouldn't want to lose that feeling at all.

"It seems there's been a misunderstanding, brother. Nevertheless, what little Zhang said is what we should do. Name your price for the bottle and we'll pay double as an apology." Secretary Zhu said casually.

His tone was indifferent, void of the previous friendliness.

Several officials around Secretary Zhu shook their heads.

This young man clearly didn't know how to conduct business.

Perhaps the bottle of wine was quite valuable, which could be why the young man reacted so angrily.

However, compared to establishing a good relationship with them, what was the value of a bottle of wine?

If this young man can afford such expensive wine, his family must be wealthy. Secretary Zhu was the highest-ranking official in their county, and they were all top tiers from Immortal Origin County – if the young man took advantage of their good mood and stated one or two demands, as long as they agreed, what could the value of one or two bottles of wine possibly compare to?

The most important thing was, he might gain a useful connection which money couldn't buy.

Unfortunately, he ruined this excellent opportunity and ended up offending a group of them, especially upsetting Secretary Zhu. Once they knew what his family did for a living, they wouldn't stay courteous for long.

This young man was still too naive; he likely hadn't participated much in society.

Sooner or later, this young man was bound to face the consequences.

"Since it has been used by you, I don't want this bottle of wine anymore. As such, it's only right that you purchase it at double the price!" Lin Yun replied, nodding slightly.

"Ha, how much? Name your price."

"We all shared the wine, not just Secretary Zhu. We'll handle the expenses so, go ahead and name a price. If it's too much for one of us, we can all chip in."

Hearing Lin Yun's response, a group of officials around Secretary Zhu laughed in anger.

This young man was utterly shameless!

Well, let him have his moment of triumph now; there will be plenty of time for him to cry later!

Whatever he demanded now, they would force him to cough up double later!

Claiming that 'ordinary people have no right to purchase it, and it's only fitting for us to pay double for it', you think you're the only one qualified to buy this wine and we are not? You think you're very impressive?

And claiming 'since it has been used by us, you don't want it anymore', hell, we didn't complain about you touching it, we're already being kind enough and yet you're reversing the blame! Damn it, we've been had!

Most of these people had rich experience in bureaucracy and quite good control over their emotions, but even they wanted to curse right now.

"Since you said so, that's even better for me. I won't extort you, considering that some of the wine was consumed, you can just pay 20 million instead!" Lin Yun said casually.
