Chapter 103 Look Like Peasants
Charlie was all humble and servile as he surreptitiously stole glances at Jared.
Jared had long since noticed the man peeking at him, so he imperceptibly waved a hand and dismissed him.
When the others in the room saw that Charlie had left, they instantly went into an uproar.
“Whoa! It’s Louis XIII! This is a well-known wine! I heard that a bottle costs a hundred thousand!”
“Never in my wildest dreams had I ever thought that I’d be able to drink such an expensive wine!”
“This is incredible! It’s all thanks to Mr. Carlson that we get to drink wine that cost a hundred thousand a bottle!”
“Well, I don’t dare to drink it when a sip is a month’s salary for me.”
Everyone gathered around the two bottles of Louis XIII, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets. After all, coming from the working class, they probably would not get to drink such top-notch wine in their entire lives if it were not for the opportunity that day.
At that moment, Zayne’s eyes were also slightly red. While he had a salary of tens of thousands a month, he did not dare to drink a bottle of wine costing a hundred thousand. That was too extravagant for him!
However, he could not appear too eager since it would be mortifying otherwise.
“All right, that’s enough. Stop crowding around the two bottles of wine. You’re making yourselves look like peasants. It’s just Louis XIII, no? It’s no big deal! I often drink such wine when I’m with that friend of mine. We even drink Rémy Martin and the like!” he boasted, feigning nonchalance.
In truth, he was merely putting on a show with his non-existent friend. Considering his current capability, he was not so rich that he could afford to drink Louis XIII frequently.
“What kind of business is your friend in, Mr. Carlson? He’s just too wealthy! That aside, he even has vast connections that he’s actually acquainted with Tommy Lewis!” someone asked Zayne.
