Her words caused the crowd to become curious, and they started to buzz and chatter amongst themselves.
"Is there someone else arriving soon? Who could that be?"
"I don't know! Miss Liza is such a famous gourmet, and she is now under suspicion. Can this new person handle the pressure of this situation?"
"Yes, I feel suspicious about the situation too. No matter who comes forward and no matter what they say, Klaude will just use the same argument. There will be no way for the other party to prove their innocence or defend themselves."
"This time, I think Quin Lin and Fade Chen were too anxious. They came forward recklessly and started a fight with Klaude."
"They have no choice. Klaude has the backing of Keele Corporation. Once Keele Corporation starts selling this 'Superhero Wine', there will be no chance for Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc's Life Elixir Wine." "Look, he's here."
As the crowd looked on the scene, a white man in his fifties walked forward. He had short curly hair, and his cheeks had a tinge of redness. He had some freckles that were common amongst white people and a big belly as well. On his face, he had an earnest expression.
Some Chinese people, especially the younger generation, were confused when they saw him. They didn't know who he was.
However, the foreigners, mostly the older ones, beamed instantly when they saw him. They positioned their cameras toward the man and took photos continuously. Their enthusiasm when they saw him was greater compared to when they saw Liza enter.
At this time, Liza introduced proudly to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you my teacher, Mr. Douglas!"
"My teacher is the founder of 'Heavenly Kitchen', an exclusive chef for Michelin Restaurant, a world- renowned gourmet foodie and a guest professor at Harvard University..." As this series of titles were announced, even those who didn't know who Douglas immediately knew that the man in front of them had an impressive background.
Klaude, who was still on stage, swayed a little when he saw Douglas. The expression on his face instantly became dark.
At this time, Liza and her teacher faced the crowd. Then she said, "Dear teacher, please speak."
Douglas nodded and said, "Actually, when Liza invited me here, I wasn't aware of any rumors surrounding the Life Elixir Wine. Also, I was not aware of the issues of quality control."
Everyone was a little confused when they heard his words. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
What did Douglas mean by saying that? If he didn't know anything about the rumors, then what was he doing here?
Everyone looked confused. Douglas' s tone became deeper as he said, "I am aware of one thing though...Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc's Life Elixir Wine is definitely an excellent beverage, and its quality, taste, and effects are top-notch. I can say that the Life Elixir Wine is the most delicious beverage that I've ever tasted."
Everyone was stunned when they heard his words, and their expressions were full of shock. They did not expect Douglas to give the Life Elixir Wine such a high rating.
Klaude's face fell, and his expression turned darker. He explained forcefully, "I have great respect for Mr. Douglas, as well as his sense of taste. However, a delectable item does not mean that it is
safe for consumption. Those test results..."
Before Klaude could finish speaking, Douglas interrupted him. He said, "As for the dubious test results, it is not authentic. Liza sent me a few bottles of the Life Elixir Wine from the factory. I sent the bottles to a lab and had the contents tested, and the results showed that there is nothing wrong with the products."
"Also, the Life Elixir Wine has medicinal properties, and it can be used for treatment. After drinking the Life Elixir Wine that Mr. Chen specially made for me, my arthritis, which had lasted for many years, was cured. I could then continue my career as a chef. Therefore, the main purpose of my trip to China this time is to express my gratitude to Mr. Chen."
Hearing his words, everyone was shocked, especially the reporters from the west. Many of them were fans of Douglas, so they were aware of his arthritis problem. He had gone for treatment numerous times, but the treatments didn't have much effect on him. There were even rumors of his retirement at some point.
Unexpectedly, a few bottles of Life Elixir Wine from China had cured Douglas's problems.
It was such an incredible wine, and it was now vouched by Douglas, with his high status and fame.
Many people at the scene changed their minds immediately. They were doubtful just now, but now they firmly supported Fade and his companions. This was the effect of Douglas's long-standing fame and reputation. So, for a time, reporters began to ask Klaude questions, one after the other.
"May I ask, Mr. Klaude, what are your comments on Mr. Douglas's words?"
"Mr. Douglas said that there is no problem with quality control. I would like to ask you, Mr. Klaude, why do you insist that it doesn't meet the inspection standards?"
"Mr. Klaude, were the rumors on the takeover just now true?"
Listening to all the questions that he was bombarded with, Klaude felt a sudden headache. The sweat on his forehead rolled down, and he felt that he was in a trance. He was about to lose his balance.
Just as he was about to fall, he gritted his teeth and forced himself to focus. He knew that at this moment, he could not admit to defeat. That was absolutely not possible for him. His product would be a failure before it even started selling.
Also, the investment funds that he acquired from his family would be lost. He would lose his place in the family, and this would cause his status in the family to fall. He might be disowned by his family.
As soon as he thought of these consequences, Klaude couldn't care less about Douglas's status and fame. He said, 'T ve always believed in Mr. Douglas’s words, but this time, I feel that he is perhaps exaggerating."
"What do you mean by that? Are you saying that I'm lying?" Douglas asked. He exhaled violently and his beard flew up. Also, he widened his eyes and glared at Klaude. Many supporters of Mr. Douglas also glared at him.
Claude felt tremendous pressure instantly, but he still gritted his teeth. He stuck to his guns and said, "I am not sure. I am just saying what I feel. As for the sensational rumors that was mentioned beforehand, about the takeover and the failing standards of the wine, the truth is still not clear."
"What I am trying to say, is that I read about these things on the news. Even if Miss Liza and Mr. Douglas praises the Life Elixir Wine and its effects, what does it have to do with us? I was talking about the current news."
At this moment, this guy was completely acting like a rogue. Even if those negative
news were proved to be fake, he would never admit that these fake news had nothing to do with him.
