Manager Song became even more gloomy, as he heard what Gu Chaoyan said. He showed an empty seat and asked Gu Chaoyan to sit down, as he told her the story. “Restaurant Jixian is running a wine compet.i.tion. Anyone who is able to exceed the brewer of Restaurant Jixian will be able to get 500,000 yuan and free drinks at Restaurant Jixian.”

“The contest has been going on for three days and it is not coming to an end. Yellow Crane has been out of business for almost three days.” Manager Song said unhappily.

He did have the intention of getting Yellow Crane to boom, so he could show some achievement for Elder Miss. However, the business had just gone a little bit upwards, when something like this happened.

That was why he got very gloomy.

Princess Xunyang, who was dressed as a boy, said, “It is quite difficult to beat the brewer from Restaurant Jixian. His family have been brewing wine for generations, and he grew up drinking wine and he never gets drunk. During the past few years, no one has been able to exceed him. Restaurant Jixian has been winning a great deal of money through the contest!”

Gu Chaoyan heard about this before.

Manager Song felt quite gloomy, but she said with a way of consolation. “Don't worry about that. It is just a matter of days before guests lose interest in drinking there. When this contest is over, Yellow Crane can get back to our business. If we don't have so many guests these days, the staff can take turns taking a break.”

“But…”Manager Song was about to say something when he found that what Elder Miss said made sense. That was what business was always like. So he nodded.

He was about to follow her order when a riot arose at the doorstep. Manager Song and Gu Chaoyan turned around and saw County Princess Anxi, who spotted Gu Chaoyan inside the restaurant. “Gu Chaoyan, let's have a bet, shall we?”

Gu Chaoyan was speechless. This County Princess Anxi was so d.a.m.n annoying. She wanted one more bet after her loss at Saint College.

Gu Chaoyan threw a look at the waiters who were stopping them, indicating that they could come in. Only then did the waiters release them unwillingly.

“What is the bet?” Gu Chaoyan asked calmly.

“Let's have a bet on wine drinking! If anyone from Yellow Crane can exceed our brewer, then we will never sell wine again! Vice verse, how does that sound?” County Princess Anxi asked with a look of pride.

Oh well…

Everyone from Yellow Crane, including Manager Song, looked helpless.

No one was able to drink as much wine as the one from Restaurant Jixian. So of course, they should never take the bet. Manager Song whispered in Gu Chaoyan's ears. “No, Elder Miss, that would not work.”

Gu Chaoyan patted Manager Song's shoulders and suggested that he should be a.s.sured.

“Sure, when do you want to have the bet?” Gu Chaoyan asked calmly.

Hearing what Gu Chaoyan said, Manager Song got so frightened that he dropped the teacup in his hands.

County Princess Anxi could not help but laugh at the sight of this.

She knew that Gu Chaoyan was trying to puff herself up at her own cost. She was very glad to see what she was going to do when she lost the bet.

After County Princess Anxi told Gu Chaoyan the time, she left happily.

The staff in the restaurant got anxious, especially Manager Song. “Who should we send to partic.i.p.ate in the compet.i.tion?!”
