Chapter 797 381: 1.32 Million Compensation in Hand, Forgive When Forgiveness Is Due!

The man checked the wine exactly like Xu Li did, first examining the bottle's appearance, craftsmanship, and label.

Then he poured the remaining wine into his own tasting glass.

One look, a sniff, three tastes...

After a few steps, the man showed the same unbelievable expression and whispered something to Zeng Lingyun.

Zeng Lingyun's face turned dark after hearing the man's report.

Fake wine in Jinghua Pavilion!

The impact of this incident is serious and extremely unpleasant!

If this matter gets out, who would come here to spend money with peace of mind?

As for the origin of this bottle...

Zeng Lingyun has already retrieved the restaurant's stock records, and indeed, it's their own wine.

"We are very sorry for the unpleasant experience brought to Mr. Jiang. We will thoroughly investigate this matter ourselves!"

"To show our apology, we will offer a tenfold compensation and also provide five free meals."

"Mr. Jiang, are you satisfied with this resolution?"

"Or if you have any requests, please let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate them."

After the self-inspection results came out, Zeng Lingyun immediately apologized to Jiang Tao and actively negotiated compensation. His attitude in resolving the matter was impeccable.

"Refund and tenfold compensation? Five free meals?"

Beside him, Zhang Bo was surprised upon hearing Zeng Lingyun's resolution.

Out of curiosity, he checked the price on his phone.

The Romanee-Conti bottle is priced at 120,000!

With the refund and tenfold compensation, Jiang Tao could receive a total of 1,320,000!

"Truly, Brother Jiang!"

Zhang Bo looked at Jiang Tao with some envy.

Nearby, Xu Li heard Zeng Lingyun's compensation plan and showed no expression, but inside she was very pleased.

"Alright, let's go with Mr. Manager's compensation plan."

Jiang Tao sensibly stopped there and didn't push further or make unreasonable demands.

It's easy to deduce that the owner behind Jinghua Pavilion in Beijing, a high-end restaurant, must be an extraordinary person.

As the saying goes, leave a way to meet again in the future.

Getting 1,320,000 in compensation from Jinghua Pavilion, Jiang Tao was quite satisfied.

"Thank you for understanding, President Jiang. This lunch will be my apology to you, and it won't count towards the five free meals."

"Additionally, I'll gift you another bottle of our Romanee-Conti."

Zeng Lingyun slightly nodded, expressing gratitude to Jiang Tao, generously giving him an extra free meal and another bottle of wine worth over ten thousand.

The lunch ordered by Jiang Tao today had the most expensive package, valued over 100,000!

A bottle of Romanee-Conti is also priced at over 100,000.

Zeng Lingyun's attitude undeniably left Jiang Tao with no complaints.

It seems that his position as vice president in Jinghua Pavilion is quite significant as well.

Jiang Tao looked at Zeng Lingyun and smiled, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Manager."

Zeng Lingyun smiled warmly:

"President Jiang, you are too kind. This incident was our oversight and brought you a poor dining experience. We hope our apology is accepted."

"I'll take Mr. Manager's kindness. This matter is settled."

Jiang Tao smiled slightly and reassured Zeng Lingyun.

He knew that Zeng Lingyun did this to "seal" his mouth and prevent him from spreading the incident.

Because if news of Jinghua Pavilion selling fake wines gets out, the brand impact is immeasurable.

Spending a couple million to minimize the impact, even eliminate it, is very cost-effective for Jinghua Pavilion.

"Thank you for understanding, President Jiang, and sorry for interrupting your meal. I'll prepare now, and you all continue."

With a courteous smile, Zeng Lingyun apologized and then withdrew with a few staff members.

"A little episode ended, everyone keep eating and drinking, Uncle Zhang, let's have a drink first."

Seeing Zeng Lingyun walk out, Jiang Tao cheerfully called Zhang Long for a drink.

Zhang Long raised his glass enthusiastically, saying, "Come, come on, bottoms up."

"Brother Jiang, I also toast to you, thank you for taking care of our family's business over the years."

After drinking with Jiang Tao, Zhang Bo also raised his glass to toast with him.

"Yes, you must toast well to your Brother Jiang. Without him, our business wouldn't be thriving now."

Zhang Long's eyes wandered between his son and Jiang Tao, feeling grateful for Jiang Tao.

Zhang Bo now serves as the acting manager at Boya Auction House.

He's also a formal employee at Jiang Entertainment Company, having signed a contract with Jiang Tao.

Under Shan Yang's management, Zhang Bo's account has amassed seventy to eighty thousand followers, with live streams attracting seven to eight hundred viewers each time.

Since the attempt to broadcast, Boya Auction House's collection channels have significantly expanded.

Monthly revenue has soared as well.

With revenue up, profits naturally followed.

"President Jiang, I also toast to you, pleased to meet you."

"Sister-in-law, I'm drinking it all, feel free."

After the meal began, everyone toasted each other, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

During the latter part of the meal, Zeng Lingyun reappeared, handing Jiang Tao a cash check for 1,320,000.

Along with a bottle of brand new, unopened 1990 Romanee-Conti.

Xu Li doesn't drink alcohol, and Jiang Tao and Zhang Long don't like red wine, so the bottle remained closed.

Jiang Tao suggested Xu Li give the bottle to her father Xu Wencheng.

Father-in-law Xu Wencheng is also someone who enjoys drinking.

Moreover, he drinks both white and red wine, with quite a collection of fine wines at home.

However, he doesn't have anything like Romanee-Conti, which costs over ten thousand per bottle.

The meal continued until about 2:00 PM.

Everyone was full and satisfied.

Walking out of Jinghua Pavilion, before parting, Jiang Tao transferred 20,000 yuan to Xu Li's phone.

Xu Li couldn't refuse, reluctantly accepting it.

The group chatted a bit longer before finally saying goodbye.

Jia Guolin drove Jiang Tao and Xu Li back to Bai Gezhuang District.

His parents had already moved their things to Building 79.

There was quite a crowd helping with the move.

"Jiang Tao and Lili are back."

"Jiang Tao is back."

"Jiang Tao."

"Xiao Jiang, you little guy haven't visited me for a while!"

Mother-in-law and Aunt have come to help.

Uncle Lü Qian and Ma Dongmei have come as well.

More people, more strength.

The new home was tidily arranged, appearing very cozy.

"Everyone has worked hard, tonight's moving celebration, let's all eat and drink freely."

Jiang Tao smiled, greeting everyone, feeling warmth from the joyful scene before him.

Time flies by quickly, and the afternoon passes in a blink.

By evening, three large tables were set up in the new home to entertain many friends who came to celebrate.

Yuan Mengqi's family came all the way from Century City.

Xu Li and Yuan Mengqi chatted non-stop upon meeting, occasionally bursting into giggles.

Seeing this, Jiang Tao felt reassured.

Tonight's guests, besides Yuan Mengqi's family, also included a few relatives from Jiang's Food Factory who were close to Old Jiang's family.

Tonight, the guests mainly related to his parents, not too many people.

If Jiang Tao moved, more people would have come.

"Congratulations, Old Jiang, congratulations on moving to a new home, happy relocation~"

"Uncle Jiang, happy relocation~"

"Congratulations Uncle Jiang and Aunt Tian."

"Grandpa and grandma, is there a room for me in the new house? Can I come stay with you when I miss you?"

"Of course! Xiao Xue can come whenever she wants! This room is yours when you come, okay?"

Jiang Bing looked at her mom speechlessly, "Mom, isn't that my room?"

Tian Xiaomei: "Not anymore."

"Hahaha..."

Everyone laughed heartily at the mother-daughter exchange.

The atmosphere of the moving feast this night was very harmonious.

The meal lasted from around 6:00 PM to over 9:00 PM.

After sending off friends and relatives, Jiang Tao and Xu Li returned home past 11:00 PM.
