Chapter 140: Chapter 140: The Fragrance of Wine



Some insignificant figures were not worth fussing over, let alone getting heated for. It wasn\'t like when he was younger. Could he still just go over and give them a beating?

If his bodyguards were around, letting them handle it would have been more appropriate. Dealing with these people personally, especially over petty issues, would have cheapened his own standing.

Given his status, Lin Yun felt somewhat detached. In all honesty, he didn\'t much care about provocations from such petty individuals.

"Let\'s go, we should load up the food onto the car first." Lin Yun, turning around, made his way towards the stairs.

Despite not attaching much value to the food, Lin Yun couldn\'t just throw it away like garbage as it was the result of his parents\' hard work.

"I\'ll come too..." Liu Ming promptly rose, hurriedly following suit.

"Heh-heh," the Waiter Leader, seeing the sequence of events, sneered contemptuously.

In his eyes, Lin Yun\'s composed words were nothing more than feeble retaliation of an insignificant figure, mere face-saving words.

The ache in his heart must have been unbearable.

"Secretary Zhu, you\'re here. Your usual seat is all ready..."

After checking the seat where Secretary Zhu usually sat, the Waiter Leader anxiously paced back and forth, eyeing the staircase. His eyes lit up suddenly, as he hurried to greet the approaching group of people, sycophantically chiming in.

"Ah, Xiao Zhang. Haven\'t I already said that you should treat me like any other customer at Wangxian Tower? There\'s no need to be so mindful." The man leading the group, a man in his thirties or forties, smiled at the Waiter Leader.

Hearing Secretary Zhu address him by his surname and affectionately call him \'Xiao Zhang,\' the Waiter Leader was over the moon, excitedly saying, "Secretary Zhu, look at what you are saying. You\'ve done so much for Immortal Origin County, and as one of its residents, I\'m sincerely grateful! It\'s a great honor for us at Wangxian Tower that you dine here.

Compared to the many things you\'ve done for Immortal Origin County, what\'s cleaning a table or sweeping the floor for Secretary Zhu?"

The Waiter Leader was genuinely excited.

He was just an ordinary person, who had been fortunate enough to become the Waiter Leader at Wangxian Tower due to his eloquence and knack for politicking after it had been newly established and nobody knew what it was all about.

Who had looked up to him before?

But after this, everyone was relatively courteous to him.

Especially since Secretary Zhu, the highest official in their county, regularly dines here.

Those bureau chiefs and section chiefs that usually ignored him were all very polite in greeting him!

Sometimes, when he had to get things done, or help out relatives and friends, they all showed face!

His relatives and friends praised his achievements, boosting his ego.

He greatly enjoyed this feeling.

He knew all these changes came about because Secretary Zhu dined here.

As such, he attached great importance to Secretary Zhu\'s occasional dining.

"You..." Secretary Zhu pointed at the Waiter Leader, smiling.

If one of his subordinates told him these words, he probably wouldn\'t feel too much. But this fawning was too obvious. However, hearing them from an ordinary person of Immortal Origin County made him quite happy. Even though he had acted for own benefits in Immortal Origin County, who wouldn\'t want to hear the people\'s praises?

"Have the usual, simple dishes." Secretary Zhu then sat down at a table, smiling.

As he spoke, he looked out at the beautiful scene outside the nearby window.

A small sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.

He had spent a lot of effort and funds to develop this tourist spot.

The current Immortal Origin County was vastly different from when he first took office.

With its plazas, colorful lights, fountains, and attractions, it looked quite upscale. The higher-ups were very pleased with him. As long as he could bring in more investments, or launch more projects, he believed a promotion was not far off.

Thinking about the frustrating events that happened recently, a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

What did these commoners understand?

They only knew how to protect their trivial interests!

Didn\'t they understand that only by sacrificing individual interests for the greater good of society, their personal interests would be better served?

If it weren\'t for him, could Immortal Origin County have become so beautiful?

Perhaps, the citizens had to momentarily give up some benefits, endure some inconveniences... But once Immortal Origin County achieved a higher standard, as long as it attracted some investors, wouldn\'t the future of the county be promising?

Hmm, this Waiter Leader Zhang definitely understood the big picture.

As he thought about this, Secretary Zhu felt more and more satisfied with the Waiter Leader Zhang in front of him.

If only every citizen of Immortal Origin County showed the same understanding as Waiter Leader Zhang.

"I have already arranged it, Secretary Zhu\'s dishes will be up soon," Waiter Leader Zhang hurriedly nodded.

The menu that Secretary Zhu had ordered from, was always the same. He had carefully prepared everything in advance to avoid surprises, and hadn\'t let them serve the dishes early. Now, a simple notification would do.

While speaking, he had already informed his subordinates through his walkie-talkie.

"Secretary Zhu, you are principled to a fault. Every time you come to Wangxian Tower and order the simplest dishes and insist on paying your bill. Ever since you started dining at Wangxian Tower, our business has improved a lot. If you ask me, Wangxian Tower should provide you with meals for free every day," Waiter Leader Zhang flattered Secretary Zhu with a laugh after making the call.

"This Little Zhang, sure knows how to talk!"

"He\'s right about that. Secretary Zhu is simply too principled, haha!"

A few officials beside Secretary Zhu laughed.

Seeing so many people agree with his words, Waiter Leader Zhang became even more excited.

"If Wangxian Tower could give us a discount on our meals, that would already be very satisfying. Free of charge is absolutely out of the question," Secretary Zhu shook his head slightly, smiling.

The worth of these meals was insignificant. At the moment, Huaxia was strictly investigating misuse of public funds, and corruption. For him to stumble over these meals could be catastrophic.

"These dishes don\'t really cost much. Your frequent visits to Wangxian Tower, Secretary Zhu, have significantly boosted our business. We already feel embarrassed to charge you the cost price," Waiter Leader Zhang quickly added.

"Is your boss here?" Secretary Zhu waved his hand and asked.

"I have already informed our boss. He will be here soon," Waiter Leader Zhang replied with a smile.

"You have such a persuasive tongue, Little Zhang. You should convince your boss to invest in Immortal Origin County. If you succeed, I will give you significant credit," Secretary Zhu laughed.

"Really?" Waiter Leader Zhang\'s eyes gleamed as he excitedly replied.

"I will certainly convince our boss. Secretary Zhu, you shouldn\'t worry so much. Since our boss chose to establish this restaurant in Immortal Origin County, he probably plans to invest here. Lately, I often overhear him discussing affairs of Immortal Origin County with some big bosses," Waiter Leader Zhang eagerly nodded, his voice low towards the end of his reply.

"Then I must thank Little Zhang for your effort," Secretary Zhu replied, nodding with a smile.

He very much agreed with Waiter Leader Zhang\'s words. Lately, many investors\' attention was gradually shifting from large cities to smaller areas. However, many who came to Immortal Origin County may not necessarily be looking to invest; they might leave after just a glance.

By contrast, the owner of Wangxian Tower was much more likely to invest in Immortal Origin County.

Additionally, he had heard that the owner of Wangxian Tower had an extraordinary background, holding a substantial position among the investors. If he decided to invest, he could likely bring along other investors.

Secretary Zhu was actually asking him for a favor!

The highest-ranking official in Immortal Origin County was actually asking him for a favor!

Secretary Zhu\'s words filled Waiter Leader Zhang with excitement. He now had another boast-worthy topic after this encounter!

"Huh? Where is that scent of wine coming from? It doesn\'t seem to be ordinary wine," Secretary Zhu suddenly exclaimed, his nose twitching.

"Indeed, I smell it too…"

Upon hearing Secretary Zhu\'s comment, a middle-aged man beside him also nodded.

"Secretary Zhu has quite the nose. I was just wondering where that wonderful scent was coming from. Now that you mention it, it does smell like wine…"

An official nodded in agreement.

"Little Zhang, has Wangxian Tower gotten a hold of some fine wine?" an official asked Waiter Leader Zhang with a smile.

The source of the aroma was not far away.

Following the scent, they soon noticed an open bottle of wine on the table next to them, along with six or seven mostly untouched dishes.
