Chapter 92: A Respected Man
Harry and Sara were the first to arrive.
When he saw Maximilian had arrived, Harry's face was full of doubts. Why Maximilian had arrived but not the others? The speed
of his GTR was not slow at all!
"Well, Maximilian, I didn't expect you to be quite fast with a taxi. A short cut?”
Harry laughed teasingly. As he spoke, his eyes glanced at somewhere behind Maximilian.
It was the latest Bentley Flying Spur. It seemed that Maximilian had gotten off it just now.
Was that possible?
Harry guessed it was just his illusion.
Sara also mocked, “He ran over all the way, I guess.”
Harry chuckled.
Maximilian didn't respond.
The two turned and went in first.
Maximilian waited for a while, and Phillip ran over and said a few words to Maximilian, then he left.
At the same time, a dozen other colleagues all arrived.
“Maximilian? I can't believe you got here first.”
Some people were confused when they saw Maximilian standing in the doorway.
Why Maximilian was faster than them? He didn’t even have a car!
How strange it was!
Maximilian smiled and said,
"The driver took a shortcut.”
They suddenly saw the light upon hearing this.
But Wendy said loathsomely at this time,
"The driver? Come on, be honest. You just pretend to have a car.”
Wendy was less attentive to Maximilian than before.
In the car, she inquired about Maximilian and knew he was absolutely a loser.
Both the shop and the block booking for 500K were fake!
It must have been his schemes.
Wendy told a few people about this matter, and everyone agreed that Maximilian was afraid of losing face in front of Sara and
plotted the scheme.
The crowd shook their heads and let out a contemptuous laugh before they turned their heads and walked away.
Maximilian just smiled, and thought the gathering was pretty boring.
These people found themselves superior by despising him.
Soon, the group was seated in a private room.
Lasdun was a famous restaurant, and a meal here cost much.
Anyone who could have a meal here was rich.
Many of his old colleagues had never been here before, so they looked around in awe.
Normally, they could sit casually, but today was different.
Everyone knew it and kept blowing off Harry. After he took the seat of honor, others took their seats around him.
On the contrary, Maximilian, totally a no-body, found himself a random seat and sat down.
No one said anything. After all, they were all clear about the situation.
Considering Maximilian's status, no one would like to flatter him.
After sitting down, Harry snapped his fingers to call the waiter, and said,
"Three bottles of Musigny Grand Cru, and two Maotai.”
Soon, the waiter served the wine.
"Wow!
A bottle of the Musigny Grand Cru wine cost 2000 dollars!"
"My gosh, Harry was awesome! He's really a rich man.”
"Whatever, I will follow Mr. Harry from now on.”
The crowd was so excited that they stared at Harry with fervent eyes.
Harry smiled and waved his hand,
"Hey, it's not a big deal. Just a few bottles of wine. As you know, I have a company to run, and just knows a little about wine
since we have to deal with customers. This Domaine Leroy Musigny Grand Cru is not expensive, and it costs just 2,000 dollars.”
Sara's eyes went straight when she heard this. She recalled that Harry had pursued her years ago.
At that time, she was too young and ignorant to accept his love.
Today, she regretted what happened years ago, and tried to get reconnected with Harry.
Subconsciously, she glanced at Maximilian, who was much less outstanding than Harry.
Suddenly, she remembered Maximilian said he opened a shop, but Sara didn't think it was real, so she despised Maximilian even
more.
At that exact moment, the door was pushed open.
Thomas walked in, with several bottles of wines in his hands, then he said with a smile on his face,
“Ladies and gentlemen, I am the manager of this restaurant, and this is our new wine, a Riesling Sweet Wine, Egon Muller
Scharzhof Scharzhofberger Riesling Spatlese!"
The crowd was surprised, not sure what was going on.
Harry was shocked. He was clear a bottle of the Egon Muller Scharzhof Scharzhofberger Riesling Spatlese cost several tens of
thousands of dollars, which was comparable to wines from La Romanee-Conti
It enjoyed the reputation of "King of Rieslings”
But he didn't order it!
Even if Harry was rich, he couldn't spend so much for a bottle of wine!
"Sorry, we didn't order these.” Harry smiled.
Alan, who was beside him, also explained to the crowd.
The crowd knew immediately that these bottles of wine could be tens of thousands of dollars!
"Oh, it's a gift from our restaurant.”
Thomas laughed, his eyes landing on Maximilian without showing any signs, nodding slightly in greeting.
The crowd was dumbfounded.
A gift? Holy shit!
Was Harry so respectful?
The manager of Lasdun sent the wine personally!
Thomas enjoyed great status and fame in H City!
However, Harry didn't think so. His face was overcast with knitted brows, since he knew he himself didn't know Mr. Thomas at all.
"Excuse me, Mr. Thomas. Why are you serving us the wine?”
Harry thought about it and respectfully asked.
Thomas glanced at Maximilian and laughed,
“It's not because Max ......"
Before Thomas could finish his words, he saw Maximilian’s cold gaze.
He immediately changed his words,
"It's fine. Just enjoy your meal.”
Immediately, there were all kinds of chatting in the room. They were discussing who was so respectable that even Mr. Thomas
sent the wine over himself.
"Who is it? Do any of you know Mr. Thomas?”
It was a bottle of wine which cost tens of thousands yuan, and it was three bottles for them!
The crowd looked at each other, guessing who it was.
Of course, no one bothered to look at Maximilian, since he was a total loser.
Thomas made an eye contact with Maximilian, thinking he was lucky and responsive enough to change his words; otherwise, he
would be fired from his position in Lasdun if he exposed Maximilian’s status.
Just now, Thomas was in the manager's office when the receptionist ran in and said that Maximilian was here.
He immediately came down and personally selected a few bottles of good wine, to please Maximilian and to show his respect in
front of Maximilian.
He didn't expect he almost overdid it.
Thomas was so resourceful that he withdrew from the room silently when he heard the crowd speculating.
"Wow! Who's it? Hurry up! Take a picture and send it online. It’s rare, and ordinary people can't drink at all!"
A few girls was so excited that they took out their phones and shot a bunch of pictures.
"Haha, I guess Mr. Thomas served the wine himself for the sake of Mr. Harry.”
Alan said with a smile on his face.
The crowd nodded at the sound of it.
"Yeah, it is Mr. Harry who had the honor.”
“Harry, you did not mention that you know the manager of Lasdun. You want to give us a surprise?”
Mr. Harry is awesome!
Amazing!
The crowd were flattering Harry.
Harry was very confused, since he didn't know the manager of Lasdun at all. However, it was hard to deny it under the
circumstances, so he had to respond with a smile,
"Haha, it is not a big deal. You guys just enjoy the wine, and I'll ask Thomas to send more if it's not enough.”
