The deal was completed, and I met contestant No. 50 again.

After hearing Lin Yuan’s explanation, everyone was stunned; so that was how it was.

But Qing He knew that while Lin Yuan made it sound easy, it was incredibly difficult to do.

First, it was already extremely hard to pinpoint the origin of a wine.

Most people focused their energy on studying its taste, color, and mouthfeel, so how could they have the time to understand the rainfall conditions under which its grapes grew?

Not to mention wines from special vintages; with so many wineries worldwide, there were countless special vintage wines.

If one had to remember each and every one, that would be too exaggerated.

However, judging by Lin Yuan's calm demeanor, he most likely knew all of it; otherwise, how could he even state the average temperature?

This was truly terrifying!

However, compared to his ability to discern information about the person who poured the wine, that piqued their curiosity even more.

Qing He struck while the iron was hot and immediately asked that question.

Lin Yuan chuckled, “Well, that’s just because I overheard her on the phone when I went to the restroom earlier.”

I'm out!

The people in the car and the netizens in the live stream all couldn't handle it the moment they learned the truth.

They thought it was something amazing, making their hearts feel like they were being scratched by a cat, but it turned out to be just this?

Indeed, just like magic, it was better to maintain the mystery; once known, it immediately became bland and uninteresting.

The truth was surprisingly simple.

After a while, the group arrived at the real estate agency.

The boss, as always, came out with a smile to greet them, even preparing tea.

He felt like he was dreaming now.

Just over two hours ago, it was right here that Lin Yuan made a call and it was hung up.

Yet now, he had brought people to buy a house.

Was this magic?

If he hadn't watched the live stream the whole time, he probably would have become a curious baby again.

With the previous groundwork laid, this transaction was completed very smoothly.

Liangs Father merely went to take a look with Lin Yuan, and his eyes immediately sparkled.

Such a house was simply custom-made for storing red wine.

The most important thing was that it was also incredibly cheap, much more cost-effective than building one himself.

Coupled with today's successful bid, it was like hitting two big jackpots.

So, even after paying and signing the contract, Liangs Father insisted on dragging Lin Yuan to have dinner.

He said he wanted to take Lin Yuan to a restaurant he particularly liked.

The dishes there were very unique, and the taste was also good.

Under Liangs Father's lead, the group's car drove directly to the restaurant entrance.

The moment Lin Yuan and the Photographer got out of the car and saw the storefront, the two stared at each other, wide-eyed.

Wasn't this the restaurant they had been to the day before yesterday?

That aching feeling, he still remembered it vividly.

Especially since there was also a competitor inside!

Thinking that he would meet him soon, Lin Yuan was still in a good mood; after all, they were both contestants, and fellow countrymen meeting fellow countrymen often brought tears to their eyes.

However, they didn't know that the moment they got out of the car...

A private car and a police car, upon seeing the restaurant in Lin Yuan's live stream, immediately navigated there.

On their passenger seats, a certificate and a bank card were uniformly placed.

The netizens in the live stream all burst into laughter the moment they saw the restaurant's name.

[Popularity] +1+1+1+1

[Popularity] +1+1+1+1

— [This is truly a blind man threading a needle, what a coincidence! Contestant No. 50 hasn't recovered from the blow he received before, and now you're adding salt to his wounds, aren't you? I can't wait to see the moment they meet.]

— [I can't take it anymore, I have to go to their live stream to take a look. I estimate that their side will be full of complaints again soon. Lin Yuan sells villas, the Client treats him to dinner, and he has a beautiful woman accompanying him. What about them? Washing dishes, serving dishes, tired like dogs.]

— [Give the other contestants a chance to live. This is trying to kill someone. I'm really afraid that No. 50 won't be able to withstand the blow and withdraw.]

— [No, I just watched No. 50's live stream today. Apparently, their boss promised him shares, but the prerequisite is not to hire other employees, so he has to do all the chores, doing the work of several people by himself.]

Upon entering the restaurant, the boss came out with a smile to greet them: “Oh, Brother Liang, long time no see, I miss you dearly. You’ve come to support my business again, huh?”

Liangs Father waved his hand with a smile: “Today I’m treating a distinguished guest to dinner. Make sure the dishes are authentic later.”

“No problem! I can’t shortchange anyone, especially not you!” He then looked at Lin Yuan, completely forgetting that he had eaten there before, and asked with a smile: “Order whatever you like.”

Lin Yuan looked up at the menu on the wall, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Liangs Father smiled mysteriously: “How about it, isn’t the name very unique? Can you guess what ‘Whispers by the Ear’ is?”

“Uh, stir-fried pig ears and tongue!”

“Hmm, huh?” Liangs Father was already prepared to continue playing guessing games, but Lin Yuan answered correctly directly, catching him off guard.

Still unwilling to give up, he pointed to another dish: “Passing Through Your Black Hair, My Hand, you surely don't know this one, right?”

“Seaweed Pig Trotter Soup!”

“Damn it! I don’t believe it! The aching feeling, you absolutely can’t guess this one!”

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly: “If he dares to sell that to me, I guarantee I’ll let him experience the aching feeling.”

Upon hearing this answer, the boss's expression instantly changed to surprise, and he suddenly remembered everything.

“Oh~~ I remember now, it’s you! No wonder!”

Liangs Father asked in surprise: “You know him?”

The boss smiled awkwardly: “He just came the day before yesterday.”

At this, Liangs Father finally understood. He had originally wanted to play mysterious and show off, but now he just felt his old face burning.

Fortunately, Qing He took the initiative to order at this moment, easing the awkwardness.

Meanwhile, in the kitchen.

Contestant No. 50 was diligently washing dishes.

He was now full of vigor, as if he had been injected with adrenaline.

After being disheartened by Lin Yuan the day before yesterday, he was a bit sad but quickly regained his spirit.

Moreover, because he worked hard, the boss told him that if he performed well this month, he would give him some shares.

This made him ecstatic, and he regained the confidence he had lost.

At this moment, the boss walked in with a menu and a smiling face: “Everyone, be serious. This is an old regular customer who often brings people here, so we can’t ruin our reputation.”

“Hey, you, when the dishes are cooked, carry them all out at once, understand?”

Contestant No. 50 quickly nodded in agreement: “Got it, Boss!”

Before long, under the chef's skilled operation, plate after plate of delicious, aromatic, and visually appealing dishes came out of the kitchen.

Contestant No. 50 and the Photographer each carried a large tray with several dishes and trotted out to serve them.

However, the moment he saw Lin Yuan sitting there, chatting and laughing with the beautiful woman, he froze on the spot.

Fortunately, the Photographer quickly reminded him: “What are you standing there for? Serve the dishes.”

“Oh, oh~~” Contestant No. 50 instantly snapped back to reality.

Thinking that he would soon have shares in the restaurant and would definitely earn a lot of money, he immediately felt full of confidence.

It was just eating a big meal; it wasn't that he couldn't afford it, just that he was unwilling to spend the money. The current laughter wasn't true laughter; whoever could laugh last was the real boss!

Contestant No. 50 showed a slight smile, confidently walked to the table, and slowly placed the dishes down: “Boss, your dishes are here!”

Lin Yuan saw the familiar person arrive and immediately greeted him with a smile: “We meet again, huh!”
