NOVEL NEXT Chapter 196 Expelled from the Exhibition
Capital City, Beverage Expo.
Many luxury cars were parked at the entrance, and those who could attend the Beverage Expo were either wine business owners or wealthy individuals with substantial assets.
After all, only wealthy individuals with substantial assets could enjoy high-quality, premium brands of wine.
Wang Ye and Su Wanqing arrived at the Beverage Expo and found their designated area.
Since Wang Ye had paid extra money, the organizers of the Expo provided them with a decent location. Although it wasn't the first thing seen upon entering the Expo, it was not overlooked either.
Wang Ye and Su Wanqing sat in place. Su Wanqing turned her head to Wang Ye with a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes, "Wang Ye, couldn't we just contact the people from Suye Group to come here? Why did we have to come in person?"
"Before the wine is fully promoted, I should handle the promotion because no one understands this wine better than I do," he said.
"Oh," Su Wanqing nodded.
Next.
Wang Ye and Su Wanqing overheard passersby discussing something as they walked by.
"Last night, Pan Jiang and Xie Wei took on another wine brand, a new wine. I didn't expect that there'd be newcomers daring to enter the industry now."
"It's just them looking for trouble. This new wine is probably just diluted with alcohol."
"Pff, anyway, a wine recommended by Pan Jiang and Xie Wei wouldn't be a good brand, guaranteed."
Su Wanqing's face showed immediate displeasure upon hearing these comments.
Weren't they talking about them—the wine Pan Jiang and Xie Wei live-streamed last night?
Su Wanqing stood up from her seat, looked at the few people who were discussing, and scolded them, "You don't know anything, can't you stop gossiping?"
"Hmm?"
A few people turned around and sized up Su Wanqing.
The man standing in the middle spoke to Su Wanqing, "Since you can exhibit your wine here, you must be aware of some things in the wine industry. What, was what I just said incorrect?"
After sizing up Su Wanqing, the man's gaze shifted to the brand sign behind her, which read "Suye."
Upon seeing the words "Suye," an understanding expression appeared on the man's face.
"No wonder you had such a big reaction, it turns out the wine Pan Jiang and Xie Wei live-streamed last night was yours. And here you have even secured an exhibition spot. But what's the use? Trash wine is trash wine, no matter how much you promote it, it won't get anywhere."
Su Wanqing looked at the man and then glanced at Wang Ye, who was busy sending messages on his phone to Xia Qingxin, so even though there was a situation here, he didn't even look up.
Su Wanqing glared angrily at the man.
Seeing how fiery Su Wanqing was, the man laughed and said to her, "I didn't expect you to have such a strong sense of brand pride. How about this, come to my company and I'll give you a salary of thirty thousand a month. How about it?"
The woman beside the man looked sourly at Su Wanqing; she knew what the man was thinking. She cozied up against him and said in a spoiled voice, "How could that be okay? With her strong team spirit, what if she can't forget her old company when she joins us?"
The other man beside them scoffed, "She won't need to forget it. Her old company is about to go bust soon. She won't have anything to remember."
"What you say counts for shit!"
Su Wanqing clenched her fists, her gaze toward the three people full of anger. She hadn't expected that they would be so thoroughly mocked just upon their arrival here.
And as soon as she said those words,
She noticed a sarcastic smile on the faces of a man and a woman next to the man.
The man also looked at Su Wanqing with amusement, "You say, does what I say amount to a fart?"
"Yes."
This time it wasn't Su Wanqing who spoke. After sending the message, Wang Ye stood up, shielded Su Wanqing behind him, and stared down the man.
"What you say, indeed amounts to a fart!"
Wang Ye then sat back down and spoke to the indignant Su Wanqing, "It's fine, sit down. They're nothing but a few yapping dogs; we don't need to bother with them, they can't do anything."
"Hmm."
Su Wanqing complied with Wang Ye's advice and sat down.
Wang Ye's demeanor was quite indifferent, as if he truly was just being barked at by dogs, unaffected in the slightest.
This, however, made the three people even more furious.
The man in the middle violently flicked his sleeve and strutted away with the man and woman.
After the three left, Wang Ye stood up again and began to promote their wine to the people passing by, together with Su Wanqing.
Setting up an exhibition space here wasn't just so Wang Ye and Su Wanqing could stand around and wait for people to come to them; they needed to actively sell and seek out business.
However.
What Wang Ye and Su Wanqing faced was people's indifference.
Ninety percent of the people had absolutely no interest in listening to what Wang Ye and Su Wanqing had to say. Even if someone was interested, as soon as they heard the words "Suye," they would lose the urge to even take a look.
After all, "Suye" was already famous on Weibo's trending searches.
But it was notorious, not well-regarded.
"Wang Ye, it's been an hour and we haven't even managed to secure a single deal, let alone get someone to taste our product. What should we do?" Su Wanqing stamped her foot impatiently, her youthful face filled with urgency.
"Don't worry, an opportunity will come."
Wang Ye patiently reflected on whether he had used the wrong approach when introducing the wine earlier and considered what methods he should use when presenting the wine to others next.
Just then.
A group of people walked towards them, and the three in the lead were the very people who had just mocked Wang Ye and Su Wanqing.
"Get them out of here!"
The man in the center commanded harshly.
"Yes!"
The people behind the man responded and swarmed towards Wang Ye and Su Wanqing, beginning to grab the bottles of wine displayed on their exhibition table and clutch them to their chests.
"What are you doing? We paid to exhibit our wine here; what do you think you're doing?" Upon seeing these individuals attempting to take the wine and prevent them from exhibiting, Su Wanqing immediately tried to take the bottles back.
"Ha!"
The man sneered, "Your Suye wine is a new brand. Just being allowed into our exhibition hall was already us giving you an opportunity."
