"Oh, let's hear it, what are the conditions?"
"If you want to take me away, naturally you need the ability to do so, at the very least you have to beat me."
"There's no need for men and women to get into a competition, I think blending smoothly is better."
Once Su Chen spoke, a wave of jeers broke out from the crowd, yet Ye Mei noticed the opposite party didn't show any signs of embarrassment or discomfort.
"Look, if you don't show your abilities, these people won't agree either. Could it be that Mr. Su is scared?"
Ye Mei provocatively spoke while her fingertips gently glided across Su Chen's chest, causing the other men to grow restless.
"The challenge gambit doesn't work on me," Su Chen said, his demeanor still as serene as a light breeze, "But if you want a competition, I will give it a try. What did you have in mind?"
"Since we are in a bar, it's naturally about drinks, whether it's drinking or cocktail making, or something else, you decide."
Ye Mei flicked her hair back, confidently speaking, and of course, she had the confidence.
"In terms of drinking, being a woman, winning against you wouldn't be honorable, let's go with cocktail making instead," Su Chen replied casually.
"Damn, this guy is crazy, going against Blood Rose in cocktail making?"
"This guy probably has no idea about Blood Rose's level in cocktail making; last time an internationally top mixologist got crushed."
"That's not all, heard that Blood Rose went to the capital last time and competed with Zhao Hongyan, who's called the king of cocktail masters in China. The result is unknown, but Zhao Hongyan, who's always been arrogant, later claimed he's not the best cocktail maker in China."
"Looks like this guy is really out of luck!"
"If it were something else, there might still be some suspense, but in cocktail making, there's simply no chance of winning."
"You've heard it too, how about we change it to something else?"
Ye Mei's alluring eyes twinkled as she looked at Su Chen with a not-quite-smiling expression.
"No need, let's finish early so we can 'get down to business' sooner," Su Chen responded, his eyes predatorily scanning over Ye Mei's curvaceous body.
When had Ye Mei ever been looked at so closely by a man? It made her body react unnaturally. However, she quickly adjusted her mood and responded:
"It seems Mr. Su is very confident! For fairness, it's better we mix the same cocktail. What drink would you like to compete in?"
"I just heard them calling you 'Blood Rose,' coincidentally there's a cocktail called 'Blood Rose.' Let's go with that," Su Chen dismissively waved his hand, as if it didn't matter what they competed in.
But the onlookers were all shocked, and then a mocking expression appeared on their faces...
Ye Mei gently exhaled and instructed.
As the lights dimmed, everyone's eyes widened at the sight of the red liquid in the glass.
"It's changing, it's changing!"
Suddenly someone exclaimed, and then everyone was amazed to see that the color of the red liquid at the center of the glass gradually deepened, while the surrounding liquid became much lighter, creating a distinct division of colors.
"It's unbelievable, it's not just a layer separation, but a complete separation."
"It seems that 'Blood Rose's' cocktail mixing skills have improved again!"
"Shh, don't talk, look, it's starting to transform!"
The crowd fell silent once again as they noticed the dark red in the middle of the glass gradually forming into the shape of a blooming red rose, encased by a lighter shade of red, making it strikingly prominent!
"It's magnificent! It's wonderful!"
Everyone was overwhelmed by Ye Mei's profound bartending skills; it was truly a work of art!
"How about that, now you admit defeat?"
Ye Mei's voice changed from its previous charm, becoming very cold, she had originally thought this man was somewhat extraordinary but turned out to be so unworthy!
The onlookers unanimously criticized Su Chen's shamelessness.
"Miss Ye, does our bet still stand? If I win, you'll come with me."
Su Chen lit a cigarette, took a casual puff, and asked with a smile.
"Of course!" Ye Mei sneered scornfully, "But where is the cocktail you mixed?"
"Isn't this it?"
Su Chen pointed to a cocktail on the bar and said.
"Cut it out, that's shameless, that's the cocktail Miss Ye just mixed, what does it have to do with you?"
"Indeed, there's no match for such unscrupulousness! Today I've really seen it all!"
The crowd immediately voiced their disdain towards Su Chen, this guy was not only a clown but also had character issues, he even claimed Ye Mei's freshly mixed cocktail as his own.
Ye Mei was also utterly infuriated, she decided tonight she must teach this ridiculous man a lesson, to let him know why the "Rose" is so famed!
Just at that moment, Su Chen, who had been still until then, gave a slight smile, and then he gently shook the cocktail on the bar that Ye Mei had just mixed, the "Blood Rose"...
