Twenty million!

The venue was silent once again!

Everyone who heard the bid was stupefied, doubting whether they had heard things correctly!

The waiter leader, Zhang, was the first to react. He glanced at Lin Yun and sneered, "Did you just say two thousand? I thought it was something valuable!"

"Here's two thousand. Take it and go eat your meal!" He pulled out two thousand bills from his pocket, threw them on the table next to him, and said in a disdainful tone.

A vegetable seller is always a vegetable seller. Paying two thousand for a bottle of wine, or rather, double the price. The original price should have been one thousand. Such a fuss over a one-thousand-dollar wine, offending Secretary Zhu's entourage, it's clear he's used to it; he's just a vegetable seller with no ambition in life.

Zhang, the waiter leader, sneered in his heart.

"Whew—"

"Yes, the young man must have misspoke. He must have meant two thousand!"

"Indeed, twenty million, how could there be wine that expensive? It gave me quite a scare!"

"Regardless, a bottle of wine for two thousand isn't bad!"

"While a two-thousand-dollar bottle of wine is nice, to offend Secretary Zhu and his people over one, this young man, I wonder if he's smart or foolish…"

Some people, with their ease returning, nodded in agreement, while some even ridiculed Lin Yun.

These people were not officials related to Secretary Zhu, but just the diners around them. The fuss here had long attracted many people's attention, and at this moment, they were entertained by watching the drama unfold.

"Young man, the two thousand yuan has been given to you, don't disturb our meal anymore."

An official sitting beside Secretary Zhu said lightly.

"Zhang, don't worry about this too much. You meant well, just didn't expect such a big reaction, we will give you the two thousand later." Then, the official turned to the waiter leader,Zhang, and said.

"Indeed, Zhang, it's not your fault. You don't have to worry too much. We'll give you the two thousand later. I was genuinely scared just now. I even thought I would go broke because of this wine, haha." Another official agreed, laughing, his tone a hint of sarcasm.

"Director Li, Commissioner Qian, don't worry about it. What's two thousand yuan? Consider it my treat for Secretary Zhu." Zhang, the waiter leader, quickly dismissed the thought of taking their money.

If Zhang was excited before, now he was exhilarated.

He hadn't taken the wrong step after all.

Secretary Zhu and his people actually didn't have any bad impressions of him, but rather, they seemed to be on the same side.

Perhaps, after this, his "relationship" with these officials could become even closer.

He really was a genius.

Coming up with such an idea.

He had thought he would have to pay a hefty price, but it turned out it cost only two thousand yuan.

These two thousand yuan were well spent.

Elsewhere, Zhao Gang and Liu Ming's were feeling very conflicted.

Of late, the policies in Immortal Origin County had greatly affected Lin Yun's family.

They could understand why Lin Yun was behaving this way.

But should he offend Secretary Zhou's people and a bunch of high-level officials in Immortal Origin County for this?

After all, Lin Yun was still a native of Immortal Origin County.

"You didn't mishear before, I said twenty million!" At this moment, Lin Yun looked at Waiter Zhang and Secretary Zhu's party, calmly stating.

"Uh—"

One by one, the people there were stunned again.

The venue fell into silence once again.

Soon after, the place was filled with commotion.

"Twenty million... He really said twenty million..."

"A bottle of wine costs twenty million? You must be joking!"

"Hehe, this young man wouldn't be trying to extort Secretary Zhu and his party!"

"Tsk, Tsk, this young man's audacity is quite something!"

People were shaking their heads, each expressing their admiration and disbelief.

"Do you understand what you're saying?"

"Young man, this is blackmail, you understand?"

"Secretary Zhu, I think this man is suspicious. How about I bring him in for questioning?"

Some officials around Secretary Zhu sneered. One middle-aged man even stood up, took off his handcuffs from his waist, and walked towards Lin Yun.

"Boss, don't be rash!"

"Brother Lin, did you misspeak?"

Zhao Gang and Liu Ming turned pale and hastily pulled Lin Yun's sleeves, they spoke in a much too worried tone.

Both of them also thought that Lin Yun had misspoke earlier. However, the unpleasant remarks from these individuals led to Lin Yun's impulsive statement of a price of twenty million once again.

These people were not ordinary, though.

As one of them said, it was extortion.

Given their status, once they accused Lin Yun of a crime, it would be quite easy to have Lin Yun taken to a police station.

Once he was taken into the police station, wasn't it upon them to dictate the rights and wrongs of the situation?

"What? You touch other people's belongings casually, and when you find out you can't afford it, you randomly accuse people of crimes? Are you planning to rob in broad daylight or distort the facts?" Lin Yun glanced at the middle-aged man who stood up and said.

There was not a hint of panic in his demeanor.

"Haha... You're digging yourself a deeper hole..."

"Extortion has reached us now..."

"Twenty million for a bottle of wine, you're really daring to quote such a price!"

A few officials laughed angrily.

"What happened?"

At this moment, a voice came.

"Boss!"

"Boss!"

Then came the reverential voices of several waiters.

Everyone turned to see a very authoritative middle-aged man slowly walking towards them.

"Boss Wang is here!"

"This is the owner of Wangxian Tower!"

Some people who recognized the identity of this middle-aged man said one after another.

"Boss Wang, your Wangxian Tower really lets anyone in. Now someone is even extorting Secretary Zhu!" An official sneered.

"Secretary Zhu came without saying in advance, so I didn't have enough time to welcome you and serve you well. Please forgive me!" The middle-aged man quickly moved towards Secretary Zhu and said with a smile.

"Boss Wang, you're too polite. We're just here for a casual meal, and we should be treated like normal guests in Wangxian Tower. However, Director Li is right, Wangxian Tower is the top hotel in Immortal Origin County, and it represents the county. Maybe you should be more cautious about your guests. Someone even dared to attempt extortion publically." Secretary Zhu smiled.

"Did something like this really happen?" Boss Wang asked in surprise.

Subsequently, he turned his head to look at Zhao, the Waiter Leader.

"Boss, here's the thing..." The Waiter Leader hastily explained.

He was very articulate and quickly clarified the situation.

However, in his speech, he easily overlooked his responsibility and that of Secretary Zhu's group, heavily emphasizing Lin Yun's "despicable" behavior.

"Twenty million for a bottle of wine?" Hearing the Waiter Leader's words, Boss Wang was also very surprised.

Then, his gaze fell on the bottle of wine on the table.

"Is this...the Cloud Supreme?"

The next moment, Boss Wang gasped.

The Cloud Supreme cost one million one hundred and eighty-eight thousand per bottle, and generally, customers couldn't buy it.

Some time ago, he had a firsthand experience at Qingyun Restaurant in Shen City.

He greatly admired Qingyun Restaurant, which was a genuine top-tier restaurant.

The dishes there were beyond delicious, each one being absolutely mouth-watering.

He and a few friends had tasted a bottle of the Cloud Supreme when there was no purchase restriction

This was indeed a divine nectar, filled with endless aftertaste.

Unfortunately, just when he was about to buy a bottle before returning, regular customers were no longer able to buy the Cloud Supreme.

Only those who spent fifty million or charged a hundred million could purchase it, and moreover, each card could only buy three bottles per month.

He had hesitated a lot about buying a bottle. How could he afford to spend fifty million, or even a hundred million on this wine?

With regret, he had to return.

Unexpectedly, he saw the Cloud Supreme again in his own restaurant.

Who exactly was the owner of this bottle of Cloud Supreme?

He was extremely shocked.

No matter whether the owner of this bottle of Cloud Supreme bought it before or after the purchase limitation, the owner was definitely extraordinary.

Anyone who could afford to drink this wine was at least a billionaire and not just an ordinary one.

If the owner of this Cloud Supreme had bought it after the purchase limitation, their net worth must be at least over a billion.

Without a net worth of over a billion, who would be willing to spend fifty million, or even a hundred million dining and drinking at Qingyun Restaurant?
