Liang Peiqi forced a bitter smile, "Sisi, sending another dozen bottles of champagne is too wasteful..."
"It's fine."
Sisi chuckled, covering her mouth, "Don't worry about you guys knowing, I got these champagnes through special channels, only five thousand a bottle!"
Liang Peiqi was shocked, and Su Yang was also stunned.
Five thousand to procure and selling for a hundred thousand, this business was more lucrative than selling drugs, it was terrifying.
In one night, this bar could consume at least sixty to seventy bottles of champagne, which amounted to millions in revenue.
This was not including other income, no wonder everyone said opening a bar made big money.
"Mr. Su, you don't have to look at me like that. Actually, I'm just making small money, nowhere near you."
Su Yang smiled, "I'm just an unemployed bum, relying on my parents. How could I be as capable as you say."
"Being a freeloader is also a skill. First, your family has to be rich, right?"
Sisi smiled meaningfully. Of course, she didn't believe Su Yang's claim of being unemployed.
Soon, waiters lined up, carrying various delicacies and champagne, drawing the attention of those around.
Seeing Sisi there too, many were surprised.
"It's the first time I've seen Sister Si drinking with another man."
"Who is this guy? He's got some serious influence. I wonder what that young master from the Tang family will think when he finds out?"
"Stop looking, Sister Si is the woman Young Master Tang has vowed to marry. Looking at her too much is a mistake. Let's keep drinking!"
Su Yang's ears twitched, clearly hearing their words.
It seemed that the young master from the Tang family had immense power. He rarely appeared, yet he kept everyone in awe.
As for Sisi, no one dared to look at her more than once, which showed how overbearing the Tang family's young master was.
Sisi had the wine opened and personally poured a large glass for Su Yang.
"Come, Mr. Su, I'll toast you."
"Thank you for the treat!"
Su Yang downed the wine in his glass, and Liang Peiqi poured him another.
"I won't disturb you two drinking. I have something to attend to."
Sisi got up to go to the stage, but at that moment, a bartender hurried over.
"Sister Si, something has happened in private room number one."
"What's all the rush?"
"Someone is foaming at the mouth after drinking. They're unconscious now, and the guests inside are causing trouble."
"What?"
Sisi's face changed color. Without a word to her good friend, she left.
Su Yang, with his sharp hearing, wondered if the champagne, bought for five thousand a bottle, was fake.
But if it was fake, this bar wouldn't be so popular, and the customers weren't fools.
However, he knew, but he didn't intend to meddle.
...
Meanwhile.
In private room number one, there were over a dozen people, men and women. One man was lying on the floor, foaming at the mouth, his eyes tightly shut.
If he still had a heartbeat, one would think he was dead.
When Sisi arrived at the private room, the guests swarmed around her.
"Are you the owner of this place?"
"I am."
"Good. Your bar is selling fake liquor. My brother started vomiting foam after drinking champagne. Luckily, I hadn't drunk any yet. Since you're the owner, tell us how you're going to handle this?"
Several men angrily surrounded Sisi, looking as if they wouldn't let her leave without paying millions.
Sisi remained calm. Instead of panicking, she first thought of the unconscious guest on the floor.
"Please move aside. I need to check his condition."
Sisi pushed past the person in front of her, crouched down, and reached out to feel him.
The man on the floor was indeed unconscious, but it was unclear if it was due to drinking.
Sisi looked up at the wine glasses on the table. The other glasses were clean, indicating that the other guests hadn't started drinking yet.
At this moment, Sisi had a guess. It was highly likely a problem with the liquor.
To confirm what was mixed in the liquor, Sisi poured a little champagne to taste.
The next moment.
— Pfft!
Sisi spat out the wine. The champagne, which she had procured for years, tasted different, with a strange flavor.
As for the reason, Sisi couldn't figure it out immediately.
"Everyone, the liquor is indeed our problem, and we can compensate. However, can we send him to the medical room for examination first?"
Since they were on a cruise ship, there was no hospital, only a small medical room.
However, the other guests disagreed.
"Since you admit the liquor is problematic and agree to compensate, just tell us how much you'll pay and be done with it."
Sisi frowned, "How can you be like this? For money, you'd abandon your friend?"
"Did I say I wouldn't? Hurry up and pay, or if he dies, you'll have to pay even more!"
Several men blocked the door, preventing Sisi from helping the person.
"This is extortion. He's at most suffering from food poisoning. As long as he gets timely treatment, he'll be fine. Why do you demand ten million?"
Sisi was furious. As a woman running a bar, her income was high, but her expenses were also high.
She paid rent every month and supported dozens of employees, including waiters, cleaners, and security guards. She even worked as a DJ herself to save a substantial amount of money.
Occasionally, friends would come, and she'd have to comp their bills or give them free drinks. After all expenses, her monthly profit was only around a million.
These people were demanding ten million at the drop of a hat, which would wipe out a year's earnings.
"We don't care about all that. Are you going to pay or not?"
Facing the aggressive guests, Sisi felt utterly helpless.
The security guards outside couldn't get in, and these people had complete control of the situation.
Sisi sighed and took out her phone, saying, "Fine, I'll pay you!"
"Hmph! You're sensible. Transfer it to this bank card. Once the money arrives, we'll let him go!"
A man with a scar on his face handed over a bank card.
As for the female guests, they chose to watch coldly, as if the person on the floor had nothing to do with them.
Indifferent and heartless!
This was what they called friendship!
After Sisi transferred the money, the other party's phone rang three minutes later.
"Since the money has arrived, why aren't you letting us go?"
"No rush, I can arrange for someone to take him to the medical room. However, before that, we guys need your help with something."
The men's gazes roamed over Sisi wantonly, some of them drooling.
Sisi was known as the "Ice Mountain Beauty" on the cruise ship, having rejected countless suitors.
Similarly, they wanted to catch a glimpse of her beauty and witness her skills.
"Speak quickly if you have something to say!"
Sisi disliked their stares intensely and had been suppressing her anger.
"Our request isn't much. Just perform a striptease on stage, and we'll open the door immediately, with no further demands. How about it?"
The men licked their lips, fantasizing about Sisi's hot body, dancing on the pole, exposed under the lights.
