76 Gate of Memory (3) Night is gradually falling!!

The waves flow slowly against the brilliant lights of Asia Hotel!

A melodious choir performance sounded melodiously on the sea in the luxurious hotel lobby.【】

The party finally begins!

Countless luxury cars gradually parked in front of the red carpet of the Asia Hotel. The assistant manager in the lobby kept leading the greeters and etiquette department staff, accompanying the VIPs who got off the luxury cars, to the second floor.

Luxurious banquet hall.

At this time, in the glorious banquet hall, countless business celebrities, emperors, superstars, and even foreign envoys have gathered, singing and dancing, indescribable luxury...

Colleagues from the catering department shuttled among the guests, delivering cups of charming fragrant wine, tempting red wine, and passionate cocktails to each guest, and then placed the empty cups in the guests' hands on the tray.

Three of them gathered in the middle, and they immediately walked out of the banquet hall quickly, walked along the corridor on the left, passed through the fire escape of a certain staircase, and walked towards the main kitchen of the banquet hall on the first floor. From the fire escape, there was

There was a burst of crying...

"Okay, okay, don't cry!" Tang Kexin nervously held Xiaorou's little face full of tears and said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I will help you! Don't worry.

!”

"But..." Xiaorou was so frightened that she trembled and looked at Tang Kexin crying and said: "But you don't understand very well either!! How can you help me?"

Tang Kexin stared deeply at Xiaorou, her eyes flashed quickly, and she gave her an encouraging smile, reminding her: "Do you know what a sommelier is first of all?"

Xiaorou pursed her lips and shook her head with tears in her eyes.

Tang Kexin looked at Xiaorou with a smile and said: "The sommelier is first of all the first person to taste the wine, and then he uses his own inspiration to find the most suitable wine for your favorite food... So

No matter what happens later, you must remember to obey the first feeling left by the tip of your tongue! Believe in yourself!! As long as you truly taste every food, each of us can be a gourmet!!

"

Listening to this, Xiaorou seemed to understand, but also seemed not to understand, but looking at Tang Kexin's determined eyes, tears rolled down, but she could only nod!

"Go!!" Tang Kexin gently held Xiaorou's little face, looked at the earphones hidden in her ears, and then warned: "Be careful with the earphones, don't let them fall out, listen carefully to what I say, never

Don’t panic at this time, you know?”

"Yeah!!" Xiaorou nodded stupidly again, then sniffed her red nose, straightened out the white uniform she had just changed into, then reluctantly walked out of the dark passage, and turned around a little uneasily.

, looking at Tang Kexin hiding in a corner of the stairs, smiling encouragingly to herself, she had no choice but to walk out in silence.

Tang Kexin watched Xiaorou slowly walk toward the glorious silhouette of the banquet hall. Her eyes were red, and she squatted silently in the corner of the stairwell, holding her knees with her hands, and raised her head to look at a door on the stairway.

The small window and the moon as big as a silver plate illuminated her incomplete face, and she smiled faintly.

Xiaorou stepped on the dark red carpet, held her breath, pinched her fingers to give herself courage, and was about to turn around and walk into the bustling banquet hall, but at this time, she heard someone in the distance say: "The Prime Minister is here

Got it!!"

After hearing this, she immediately stepped aside in a well-trained manner. When she saw the banquet hall and the entrance that were bustling with activity just now, there was sudden silence. She quietly raised her head curiously and saw the luxurious palace-style entrance.

The Prime Minister of a country, accompanied by officials and special police, walked over in a government-specific black suit with a majestic demeanor. He was accompanied by his wife and his most loyal granddaughter, Jiang Tianlei, tonight.

Wearing a silver suit, a black shirt, and a white tie, he is dressed in a European style, with a royal aura about him. Accompanying the Prime Minister, he does not lose any of his momentum...

Qin Weiye, the prime minister's favorite successor, led his stunningly beautiful wife in a white lace dress. She stood on the lower right side of the prime minister with a smile. She leaned against her husband's side and occasionally used gentleness.

Looking at Jiang Tianlei's stalwart back with adoring eyes, she couldn't help but smile like a flower when she thought of the man who had hugged her with a sweet kiss just now.

While Jiang Tianlei was talking with the old Prime Minister about the charity party prepared by Miss Su tonight, he felt a gentle gaze looking at him from behind. He remained silent and continued to walk into the banquet hall with the old Prime Minister. Suddenly, the entire banquet hall was filled with excitement.

The guests put down their wine glasses one after another and applauded.

Jiang Tianlei smiled and, as the host, personally invited the Prime Minister to sit at the first VIP seat amidst the applause of the crowd!

The Prime Minister smiled and nodded. Accompanied by his wife and granddaughter, he walked to the center of the banquet hall and sat down at the head of the long main banquet. His wife sat on the right, and his granddaughter sat in turn, and then he went to his fiancé.

For Qin Weiye, Rumo, and then to a certain official...

Jiang Tianlei slightly loosened the buttons on his suit, sat on the left side with the Prime Minister, and then continued to meet an official and the official's wife.

The guests in the banquet hall saw that the Prime Minister was already seated, so they continued to sit down silently at the long dining tables in various places.

The music in the banquet hall was lively at first, but now it changed to the leisurely and romantic sound of violin, lingering in the entire banquet hall.

Dozens of employees in the catering department, holding silver trays in their hands, lined up in a neat and orderly queue, standing at the door of the banquet hall. When they heard the manager's order, they immediately stood up straight and took neat steps in unison.

He walked into the banquet hall, followed the rehearsal formation, walked to each dining table he was responsible for, and carefully placed the hot towel on the guest's white porcelain plate, while General Manager Huo Ming waited behind the Prime Minister and took the waiter's hand.

On a silver platter, I hold the Prime Minister.

The Secretary-General took the hot towel and handed it to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister took the towel with a silent smile and wiped his hands gently.

While Su Ling took the hot towel to wipe her hands, she looked at Jiang Tianlei at the opposite table with a smile and said with interest: "President Jiang, I heard that your fiancée is the only daughter of the president of Jianya International Consortium, Ms. Ren Zixian, and she is also an internationally famous woman.

The designer has even won numerous international awards and is known as the Oriental Rose in Paris. I admire her name very much. I even heard that her designs are often favored by the British kings, princesses and princesses... Why can't I see you today?

?”

Rumo sat at the table opposite and looked at Jiang Tianlei.

A slight smile appeared on Jiang Tianlei's face. He looked at Su Ling and said, "She has always focused on her career. She is currently in Paris and is busy with the autumn fashion show."

Su Ling listened and said with a very interested smile: "As far as I know, working on a fashion show, especially the Paris Fashion Show, takes a long time. President Jiang, how do you solve the pain of lovesickness?

"

Jiang Tianlei smiled secretly, then raised his head, looked at Su Ling and said: "Sometimes, love is always worse than missing each other..."

All the political celebrities at the table laughed a little.

The banquet continued like this, in a harmonious and joyful atmosphere. Cao Yuqing stood in the banquet hall with a walkie-talkie, instructing the staff to put on dry towels, and then prepared to serve tulip crystal cups...

Xiaorou's eyes were really opened today. She had already forgotten her mission today. She kept curiously looking at the political celebrities in the banquet hall and the neat and orderly work of her colleagues.

At that moment, someone could already hear someone whispering: "Lawrence is here!"

She raised her head in surprise for a moment and saw Lawrence wearing a black hotel uniform and a dark blue tie, leading the sommeliers into the banquet hall. He glanced at Xiaorou seriously before saying, "Follow me.

!”

Xiaorou suddenly turned pale with fright, but did not dare to disobey. She followed Lawrence towards a huge arch in the banquet hall. The employee immediately pressed the password, and the two-way door opened with a bang. What appeared in front of everyone were world-class famous wines.

There is red wine, there is champagne... red wines of various vintages and famous wineries are all listed in front of you...

"Wow..." Xiaorou's eyes widened and she walked into the wine tasting area. Looking at the many red wines and champagnes, she said a little excitedly: "There are so many red wines and champagnes... and some of the vintages are very high.

In 1980, oh my God..."

Kexin squatted in the stairwell, hugging her knees and almost fell asleep. When she heard Xiaorou say this, she immediately raised her head, held the walkie-talkie a little nervously and said: "Now pay attention, Lawrence will definitely read the menu first!

Select the suitable red wine through the menu and deliver it to the guests!”

After hearing this, Xiaorou raised her head and saw that Lawrence really took the menu handed over by the assistant, browsed it for a while, and then gave the menu to the sommelier who also browsed it. Xiaorou took the menu and whispered

Read: "I'll tell you, what's on offer tonight..."

"No need!! Mr. Lawrence should select wines with younger ages, let you taste the wines first, and then send them out to the guests as a whole if you agree on the same opinion. If the guests have no objections, the first round of red wines will be considered safe. This is often the case.

The safest level..." After Tang Kexin finished speaking, she nervously held the walkie-talkie and said softly: "Are you going to accept a glass of red wine?"

Xiaorou looked at a waiter in surprise, holding a glass of dry red wine in front of her. She felt that Tang Kexin was really a god. She took the red wine blankly, and Tang Kexin's words came to her ears again.

: "Listen to me now, tilt the cup 45 degrees, point it at the indoor light specially designed to observe the body of the wine, and observe the color and appearance of the wine..."

Xiaorou understood this, she immediately picked up the cup, pointed it at the light, and tilted it 45 degrees. Then, without waiting for Tang Kexin's opinion, she followed the example of the restaurant guests, gently shaking the cup 365 degrees, and then lowered her head.

, put his nose into the cup, smelled the wine heavily, and said with a proud smile: "I've finished reading and smelling it, do I have to drink red wine?"

"Yeah!" Tang Kexin nodded with a smile.

Xiaorou happily drank a whole glass of red wine and swallowed it hard. Then she heard Tang Kexin say: "Don't swallow, keep the wine in your mouth, puff up your cheeks, and let the wine stay in your mouth."

Swirl it around, fully contact your taste buds, and finally spit the wine out of your mouth."

Xiaorou held the empty glass and watched blankly as the other sommeliers spit out the red wine in their mouths into the waiter's silver plate. Then she saw a male waiter holding a

The silver plate came in front of her and looked at her. She grimaced and put on a forced smile. She turned her head and saw Lawrence looking at her with a smile. She immediately puffed up her cheeks and then lowered her head.

Bury your face into the silver plate and spit out the air!

The waiter frowned and lowered his head, looking at the empty tray and looking at Xiaorou a little strangely.

Xiaorou didn't dare to say anything, and quickly put down the wine glass. Seeing Lawrence looking at everyone and listening to their opinions, all the sommeliers nodded unanimously. She also listened to Tang Kexin's words and nodded too. Unexpectedly, Lawrence quickly came to her

In front of me, I asked: "Why do you think the 2005 dry red wine is suitable for tonight's first round of red wine?"

Xiaorou was completely frightened, but she heard Tang Kexin's words quickly coming to her ears. She followed the words Kexin taught her, sentence by sentence, and read out with a little fear: "Because 2005 was a very good year in Bordeaux."

!The sun is abundant, the weather is dry, and the temperature is very high. There are no dog days, and the nights are very cool, so the grapes ripen perfectly. The sugar content is heavy and the fruit is rich. The tannins in the red wine are very solid, stable and delicious.

, for the first round of dry red wine, I will definitely choose a red wine with a smooth body, leading the guests to higher and higher levels of wine!”

Lawrence listened to the little girl talking about the orderly red wine, but he raised another question... "I didn't mention just now that this is a red wine from Bordeaux, so how do you know it is a red wine from that region?"

“Because only Bordeaux 2005 and 2006 red wines can rival the 1996 Bordeaux red wine, a sommelier can always choose a cost-effective and suitable red wine in the most suitable year. In fact, red wine doesn’t matter.

Vintage does not matter whether it is high or low, cherishing red wine, and paying attention to it is just a... word "qiao"." Xiaorou followed Tang Kexin's words and answered gradually!

Lawrence finally smiled, looked at Xiaorou, nodded slightly and said, "Well..."

Xiaorou also forced a smile.

"Have you heard of wset?" Lawrence suddenly looked deeply at Xiaorou and asked.

"Ah?" Xiaorou was surprised and didn't know how to answer.

Tang Kexin knelt on the ground excitedly, with a choked smile on her face, and said excitedly: "I've heard of it!! The British Sommelier Academy!! The best sommelier academy in the world!! It's the best sommelier in the wine industry.

Kere’s authoritative certified college!”

"I've heard of it... it's... the British Sommelier Academy..." Xiaorou called out lightly.

Lawrence smiled and asked: "Want to go?"

Xiaorou was stunned for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

Tang Kexin was discouraged for a moment and sat on the ground with red eyes. This was the college of her dreams. She had worked very hard to go that way and walked very hard...

"Uh..." Xiaorou didn't know how to answer, she just opened her big eyes and thought about it.

"Do you need to think about it for so long? This is the place every sommelier dreams of going to." Lawrence added with a smile.

Tang Kexin's tears rolled down and she choked and said: "Xiaorou... do you want to go? That is a place that anyone who likes red wine dreams of going to. There are endless wines there and the best instructors.

This place is called the soul of wine. After you come out, your life and future will be rewritten. Do you want to go?"

Xiaorou widened her eyes, thought about this question, and then looked at Lawrence. Who doesn't love the future? Her heart was a little moved, but she looked at Lawrence and asked weakly: "Can I go?"

Lawrence smiled and said: "You can't go now, but you may have the opportunity to go in the future. Behave well tonight. If you can pass my observation period, I will agree on behalf of the Asia Hotel to escort you to the UK."

Sommelier academy, learn red wine, and after returning home, sign a life-long contract!"

Xiaorou looked at Lawrence in an uproar and said, "Then...I..."

"Work hard!" Lawrence said nothing, and immediately stepped forward again, ordering the waiters to serve the guests 2005 dry red wine...

When Xiaorou saw Lawrence leaving, she asked Tang Kexin nervously in a low voice: "Kexin! Can I go?"

Tang Kexin nodded with sobs and said, "Well...I'll help you..."

After she finished speaking, she suddenly felt a pain in her heart. She put down the walkie-talkie and curled up on the cold ground. She hugged her knees and sobbed sadly. Tears rolled down one by one. However, she could no longer bear the sadness and loss. She buried her face in her knees and felt guilty.

Crying apologetically: "Dad... I'm sorry for you... I'm sorry for your teachings, I'm sorry for you... If it weren't for my temporary soft-heartedness, I would definitely be able to meet your expectations... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."

Asia Hotel Monitoring Center!

A policeman discovered that ultraviolet rays swept across a three-mile radius of the banquet hall, and discovered that there was a human thermal reaction in a certain stairway, and it had lasted for more than thirty minutes! He immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and notified his colleagues downstairs in the banquet hall, saying: "Anomaly found!!

There is a fire escape on the left side of the banquet hall door at nine o'clock, and there was a thermal reaction for more than thirty minutes!"

After hearing this, the special police officers in the lobby on the first floor immediately turned around with a cold face, and walked up to the second floor of the banquet hall with two colleagues and quickly walked towards the stairway. When they were about to break open the iron door of the fire escape, they quickly drew their pistols.

He stepped open the door with both feet, pointed inside and shouted: "Don't move!!"

Tang Kexin was so frightened that she stared into tears. When she saw several men in front of her with grim faces and cruelly pointing guns at her, she instantly recalled that terrible night three years ago. Her heart suddenly froze and she no longer cared about anything.

, holding his head with his hands and shouting: "Ah————————"

A horrifying shriek echoed out in a long echo!

The entire banquet hall suddenly went silent. All the guests looked at each other in surprise. The special police and security guards who were guarding the banquet hall immediately placed their hands on the hidden gun positions with a guarded look on their faces. They nervously observed everything around the banquet hall. The Prime Minister's close bodyguards immediately guarded the banquet hall.

The Prime Minister and his wife, as well as Miss Su, are fighting at any time! Jiang Tianlei tensed his face and saw General Manager Huo Ming and the SWAT team members walking in quickly. One person walked to the Prime Minister's side to comfort him softly, and the other came to

Behind Jiang Tianlei, he whispered something!

Jiang Tianlei's eyes flashed intensely, he put the napkin directly on the dining table, stood up coldly, bowed slightly to the Prime Minister, then looked around the guests with a smile and said: "Sorry, everyone, I just came out.

It was a small accident. It has passed now, and nothing dangerous has happened as you imagined. Please feel free to eat. I will excuse you for a moment. I will come back later and apologize with wine."

After he finished speaking, his face hardened, he turned around and strode out of the banquet hall under the strange eyes of all the guests. He immediately heard the scream of a girl crying from a long distance somewhere, and his eyebrows flickered.

Accompanied by the bodyguards and managers Cao Yuqing, he walked forward step by step along the long corridor. The closer he got, the more he heard the cry of a girl who was so broken:

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I don't know anything! Let me go! I beg you, I beg you!!"

Jiang Tianlei's face became more and more solemn as he listened to the cry. He walked quickly to follow the sound. After walking all the way back, he finally saw several special police officers, pistols in hand, pointing at the corner of a staircase in the fire escape.

He pulled the trigger defensively, as if he was going to kill the girl crying in front of him in the next second. His eyes turned cold, and he flashed past several special police officers, walked into the stairway, and suddenly saw a girl.

Wearing the uniform of this hotel, he was sitting on his knees on the ground, combing his short hair, crying miserably: "Help me!! Help me!! I don't know anything! Let me go! Let me go -

——”

Jiang Tianlei's eyes narrowed, he looked at the girl in front of him, and finally said angrily: "Who are you?"

As soon as Tang Kexin heard this voice, she suddenly raised her head and looked at the person with tearful eyes!!

The door of memory opens instantly!

Jiang Tianlei suddenly looked at Tang Kexin who was kneeling on the ground and crying in pain, and his face finally revealed an expression of doubt and surprise!!
