Dark Horse 25

  International Asian 6-star club!

  The world's most famous, glass and semiconductor-based six-star club, fashionable and classic, located in the coastal imperial area of the city, with the world's most complete leisure and entertainment facilities, including large and medium-sized golf clubs, horse racing tracks, performance venues surpassing Hollywood award ceremonies, as well as a sailing club built by the sea, second only to the City of Marseille, often seen with numerous prominent guests, supporting yachts on the sea...

  It has also become the second largest hotel in Asia, next to the Grand Hotel, and the place where the heads of state from all over the world meet with our head of state the most times! Therefore, countless tourists who come to this victorious land can't help but exclaim when they pass by this magnificent semi-conductor building!

  Today is an important day for the Asian International Chain Group! After a year of selection, nearly 2,000 sommeliers were selected through rigorous screening, and the final five excellent candidates were selected to participate in the final assessment!

  President Chiang issued an order today, changing the location of the final exam from the Asia Hotel to the banquet hall of the International Club. Therefore, the top management of the Asia Club, including the general manager, catering manager, Western restaurant manager, Chinese restaurant manager, French restaurant manager, executive chef, chief steward, sommelier, brewmaster and others quickly walked out of the club's main hall and stood in front of the white marble staircase, looking at the rotating white stone road on either side of the fountain, waiting solemnly...

  At last, the crowd saw a fleet of vehicles approaching in an orderly manner from the seaside avenue. The black Rolls-Royce limousine led the way, shining brightly in the dazzling sunlight.

  The crowd of onlookers immediately stood up straight and divided into two groups standing on either side of the stairs.

  Rolls-Royce finally arrived in the direction of the fountain, drove around a circle and stopped accurately at the bottom of the stairs...

  The general manager of the club and the hotel general manager immediately led the secretary to come forward, arrived at the Rolls-Royce car door, personally opened the car door, bowed: "Chairman..."

  A low, thick voice came from within, "Hmmm..." A strong sense of cohesion was released, and everyone knew that under the leadership of this majestic figure, the future Asian International Group would once again enter a glorious era at some point in time.

  A dark shadow, first cast out!

  Finally... Jiang Tiankuai wore a black striped suit, with a platinum badge on his chest, the highest level of hotel management, and stepped out of the Rolls-Royce with an elegant demeanor. He lightly tapped the buttons on his suit, scanning all the high-level officials present. No one knew what kind of data was hidden in his world. As he walked in, he thought for a moment before asking in a calm voice: "How's the preparation for this sommelier selection?"

  Hotel General Manager Huo Ming followed behind Jiang Tiankuai and said, "This time, after twelve rounds of selection in various places, the sommeliers were selected from 2,000 people, and the last five excellent ones were selected to participate in this selection. As for their level, it is still unknown at present."

  Jiang Tiankuai remained silent, as he passed through the luxurious hall of the club. The receptionist and all the staff stood up straight, bowed their heads and greeted him!!

  "When is Lawrence leaving?" Jiang Tiankuai asked as he walked through the hotel lobby and stopped in front of the elevator.

  Dong Ying stood behind him and said, "The plane tomorrow night. He said he would stay to attend the final selection of sommeliers today, hoping that our hotel could select the best sommelier to serve wine for the British prince and princess who will come to China in three days."

  Jiang Tiankuai's eyes hesitated for a moment before he coldly said, "In such a big China, there is no way to find the best talent. In our hotel, out of 380 sommeliers, not one can satisfy him, what are you all doing?"

  All high-rise buildings remain silent!

  The elevator door opened, Jiang Tiankuai walked in, Dong Ying and three secretaries also walked in. All the high-level officials stood outside the door, bowed their heads and waited for the next elevator!

  The top-level crystal banquet hall of the club was suddenly opened!!

  Jiang Tiankuai walked into the nearly 2,000-square-meter hall with a cold face, his footsteps echoing on the crystal floor. He took his seat at the head of the long, narrow dining table, where he would serve as the final judge for this last selection. The hotel staff sat on either side of him, their faces equally stern. Dongying and the other secretaries immediately stepped forward, presenting Jiang Tiankuai with the list of the last five sommeliers.

  Jiang Tiankuai took the blue folder with a cold face, opened it and looked at the first sommelier, who had worked as a sommelier in a famous century-old restaurant in France. The 50-year-old Frenchman had received many heads of state. As he looked at the resume, he slowly asked: "Is everyone here?"

  Dong Ying stood beside him, looking worried and said: "Still missing the last one... hasn't arrived yet, can't even get through on the phone... a 20-year-old girl, also a dark horse in this round of competition."
