Chapter 137 Fake Wine
Wang Peng and Chen Yinghao spent the whole afternoon browsing the liquor market.
The two found a restaurant in the market to eat.
Wang Peng ordered two cold dishes and a three-ounce bottle of Qinghua Baijiu for Chen Yinghao.
Chen Yinghao carefully examined the anti-counterfeiting label on the wine bottle.
"Boss, give us a different bottle of wine."
"What's wrong with this wine? Why was it changed?"
The owner hurriedly came out from behind the counter and saw that the drinks were not opened.
"If you don't want to drink this bottle, give us another one, or just return it."
This bottle of wine is fake.
Chen Yinghao didn't want to start a war of words, so he told his boss in a tactful way.
Unfortunately, the shop owner didn't seem very bright and didn't understand what he meant, so he gave him a new bottle.
"Boss, I don't want this bottle anymore. I'll get you another one that's exactly the same."
Chen Yinghao smiled softly.
"Comrade, what exactly do you mean?"
The middle-aged boss thought he was being difficult, and his expression turned somewhat displeased.
"Boss, we don't want this wine anymore, give us two bottles of Coca-Cola instead."
Wang Peng didn't want to get into a conflict over counterfeit alcohol.
This boss isn't very bright; he probably didn't realize it was fake alcohol and got scammed.
The middle-aged boss was about to change the beer when he suddenly remembered something and turned back to the dining table.
"Comrade, is there something wrong with my wine?"
he asked quietly.
Upon hearing this, Wang Peng concluded that he had been scammed by a counterfeit liquor merchant and didn't know it was fake liquor.
So he hurriedly said, "Boss, let's make this clear first, we're not deliberately trying to cause trouble."
"I know."
The middle-aged boss nodded and looked at Chen Yinghao, "Comrade, just say what you have to say."
"Okay, then I'll just tell you."
Chen Yinghao took the bottle from him and said, "The printing process of this anti-counterfeiting note is too rough, and the color is wrong too."
“Look at the bottle cap again, there are actually burrs on the edge.”
"The hops look fake too. The production date is this year. How could they possibly have hops that have been aged for ten years?"
"..."
One, two, three, four, five—Chen Yinghao rattled off five points of doubt in one breath.
Wang Peng smiled slightly; this bottle of wine was indeed a technological marvel.
The middle-aged boss understood.
I bought counterfeit alcohol and got ripped off by an unscrupulous wine merchant.
"Comrade, I understand. This meal is on me."
The middle-aged boss looked grim. He placed two bottles of Coca-Cola on the dining table and left with two bottles of liquor.
Judging from their posture, they were going to confront the person who sold the counterfeit alcohol.
"Uncle Chen, it seems I won't be able to do without you for a while."
Wang Peng smiled bitterly, "If I get my hands on a batch of counterfeit liquor, I'll lose everything and be fined into bankruptcy."
"rest assured."
Chen Yinghao beamed, "I'll guide you through the process first, and you'll learn it gradually."
Wang Peng nodded, explaining that distinguishing between genuine and counterfeit products relies on extensive product knowledge.
The father and son got a free meal and were about to leave when the middle-aged boss returned with a dark expression.
"Comrade, the unscrupulous merchant who sold me counterfeit liquor gave me two bottles of liquor in return. Can you take a look?"
The restaurant owner handed two bottles of wine to Chen Yinghao.
Chen Yinghao examined them carefully and smiled, "These two bottles are genuine, no problem."
"Thank you, comrade."
The restaurant owner immediately started cursing, "Damn it, I'm never buying their wine again."
Seeing his clenched teeth, Wang Peng was deeply moved.
This is the consequence of focusing only on immediate gains and ignoring long-term benefits: losing customers.
Wang Peng drove Chen Yinghao to the steel rolling mill, and then drove back to his own home.
In the living room, Li Mingzhu lay on the sofa reading a medieval nautical book.
Is there any progress on your comic?
Wang Peng sat down next to her.
"I have some immature ideas that are still under consideration."
Li Mingzhu put down her book, hugged her boyfriend's neck, and said, "Peng, let's go register our marriage."
"what?"
Wang Peng scratched his head. "Have you ever watched 'Pink Lady'? Are you a marriage fanatic?"
"Hate!"
Li Mingzhu hugged her boyfriend tightly, "Honey, I want to get our marriage certificate as soon as possible to prevent other women from snatching you away."
"That's ridiculous. If I wanted to run away, a marriage certificate wouldn't stop me."
Wang Peng laughed and said, "I don't care at the time, but do your parents agree?"
"Humph!"
Li Mingzhu stood up, hands on her hips, and said, "If they don't agree, we'll get pregnant and show them."
"what?"
Wang Peng was completely dumbfounded.
Just then, there was a knock on the door in the hallway.
Wang Peng went to open the door, only to find his younger brother, Wang Cheng, standing there.
She was wearing a denim outfit, sneakers, and her hair was styled in a side part.
He did not get into university this time.
"Wang Cheng?"
"How did you know I was here?"
"What are you here for?"
Wang Peng's good mood vanished instantly, and he reached out to close the door.
"Big brother, our second aunt said you live here."
Wang Cheng hurriedly reached out to stop him, "Brother, can I come in and talk?"
"not welcome."
Wang Peng sneered, "If you have something to say, say it; if you have something to say, spit it out."
"Big brother."
Wang Cheng quickly smiled apologetically, "I've been admitted to the provincial capital's normal college, but my parents don't have the money, so I need to apply for a student loan."
"Student loans require a guarantor, but our parents can't be guarantors, so I need you to step in..."
"Get lost!" Wang Peng raised his fist and punched him in the face.
Wang Cheng quickly retreated.
boom!
The door closed, and Wang Peng shouted from inside, "Get out of here! If you dare disturb my life again, I'll call the police to arrest you."
A fierce glint flashed in Wang Peng's eyes as he clenched his fist and prepared to knock on the door.
The next second, he lowered his fist.
Knocking on the door would only result in him getting beaten up, and he was afraid of getting beaten up.
house.
"Brother, Wang Cheng is here?"
Li Mingzhu said in a low voice.
She knew everything about Wang Peng, and of course, she also knew about Wang Cheng's character.
"Hehe, he asked me to be his guarantor for a student loan."
Wang Peng sneered, "Are you kidding me? What kind of guarantor do student loans need?"
Student loans are a program to help impoverished students and do not require guarantors at all.
"Brother Peng, do you mean that Wang Cheng didn't apply for a student loan?"
Li Mingzhu asked in a low voice.
"Definitely not."
Wang Peng said, "Mingzhu, from now on, don't believe a single word Wang Cheng says, not even a punctuation mark."
At this point, Wang Peng shook his head slightly.
In his previous life, Wang Cheng was exceptionally admitted to a normal university because he was recognized as an outstanding student council member.
I never imagined that I'd still be using the same formula in this lifetime.
In his previous life, Wang Cheng's university tuition was paid for by Wang Peng selling his blood.
"No one will sell his blood for him in this lifetime, so he'll have to take out a loan, right?"
"Didn't the school approve his student loan?"
Wang Peng thought to himself.
"Brother Peng, why did Auntie give our address to Wang Cheng?"
Li Mingzhu was a little angry, "Knowing full well that Wang Cheng is a piece of trash, what did she do..."
Wang Peng shook his head. "My aunt is easily swayed. She must have been fooled by Wang Cheng's sweet talk."
“Brother Peng, no matter who it is, you can’t act as a loan guarantor for others.”
Li Mingzhu frowned slightly. "You need to know that if the borrower defaults, the guarantor has to repay the money."
"I know, I'm not stupid."
Wang Peng turned to look at the door and sneered, "The idiot outside thinks I'm an idiot."
