The moment he entered the study, Zheng Jiu walked beside the table, opened the drawer and took out a folded piece of paper.

He didn't even look at it and directly handed it to Zhou Hui.

Zhou Hui also didn't know what was at the edge of this place. He opened it curiously.

However, he was shocked by the words.

Putting aside the content below, just the words above was enough to make Zhou Hui angry.

There were even words written on it, 'Registration rejection letter'.

Zhou Hui was puzzled. Yesterday, he had clearly already approved the application, so why was he rejected today? Wasn't it just a bartender skill competition? Why is it so troublesome?

He looked at Zheng Jiu. "Uncle Zheng, do you mind if I call you that?"

Zheng nodded his head at nine o'clock and did not say anything, but he did not refuse.

Mia was also very curious about what he was holding in his hand, so she walked over to take a look.

"Dad, what … what is going on?"

Zhou Hui was also staring at him attentively. He was also very curious.

"It's like this. I received this rejection letter early today. The people on there only said that Zhou Hui wasn't qualified, but I've tasted your wine before, so it definitely wasn't a problem with the wine. Did you offend someone?"

Zhou Hui couldn't stop thinking about it. If there was one, it would be Old Man Fu Sang and one other person.

A thought flashed through his mind. It shouldn't be him, right? But he and him clearly did not have any deep grudges. It was just a dispute between them.

Seeing Zhou Hui's increasingly serious expression, he knew that Zhou Hui must have guessed something.

"Did you think of someone?"

Zhou Hui shook his head, "I'm not sure. Yesterday before I went in, I met Lin Zhi and had some arguments with him. But he shouldn't have that kind of ability, right?"

Zhou Hui wasn't very sure, so he asked Zheng Jiu.

After Zheng Jiu heard Zhou Hui's words, he suddenly seemed to understand something and then shook his head. His attitude made Zhou Hui very shocked. Did he know or not?

Zhou Hui, it definitely isn't Lin Zhi. You must have offended someone else, maybe you don't know this, but with my understanding, although Lin Zhi is the son of one of the shareholders, he doesn't have such ability, even his father doesn't have the authority to speak up. No wonder the other sponsor beside me didn't want you to join.

"Are you talking about the female sponsor?"

Zheng nodded. "Yes, that's her. She's Lin Zhi's aunt."

Zhou Hui also understood. No wonder when he went, there was only this girl that was against him. At the beginning, she told everyone that he wasn't good enough.

Other people who had been agitating until later on.

It really was that Lin Zhi.

But Zheng Jiu said he offended someone else, but Zhou Hui didn't remember him touching anyone else these days.

"Zhou Hui, you have to hurry. The registration time is only for this week. Once it's over, you can't participate."

Zhou Hui waved his hand, "To be honest, I'm only here to accompany my friends. This competition isn't that important to me."

When Zheng Jiu heard this, he was very surprised, as if he didn't believe what he said was true.

"Is that friend of yours Miss Zhou?"

Zhou Hui said indifferently, "Of course it's her. Otherwise, how could we have formed a team?"

Zheng Jiu sighed. "Miss Zhou's brewing skills are also very good. Last time, she almost won the championship. I don't know about this year, but I believe that with you around, it should be about the same."

Zhou Hui was also very happy and thanked him.

However, something even more troublesome was going to happen right now. He had to quickly figure out who was targeting him. The condition this time was the placing in the Skill Competition. He had to get it.

In the past, he really didn't care. It was just a competition, but now he had his plans ruined time and time again. He was also being toyed with. Zhou Hui could not take this lying down.

If it was before, he would have definitely weighed the pros and cons before thinking about it. But now, as long as someone dared to mess with him, even if Zhou Hui didn't care, he still had to do what he wanted.

He did not want to disappoint those around him.

Zhou Hui suddenly thought of another person who could help him. It was the old manor lord of Red City's villa.

Previously, Zhou Hui had agreed to help the Old Manor Lord mix wine. The condition of the two was that the Old Manor Lord would recommend him to join the competition as a skill.

Although Zhou Hui found Zhou Luo Bing and didn't bother the old manor lord anymore, he might still be able to help.

It just so happened that Zhou Luo Bing didn't know of this news, and Zhou Hui could go to the Red city mansion to discuss it with her.

It suddenly occurred to him that the System still owed him a random lottery.

Zhou Hui called out to the system, "System, last time I didn't draw in any random prizes."

He immediately heard the system's voice in his mind.

"May I ask if the host wants to smoke now?"

"Of course." Zhou Hui smiled.

Then, he saw the Lucky Draw interface in his mind. He saw the needle spinning non-stop and there were all kinds of rewards on it. Finally, with a "ding" sound from the system, the wheel stopped spinning.

Before he could see what he had hit, he heard the System's voice.

"Congratulations to the Host for successfully drawing a pair of Wind Catching Ear. Continue working hard."

After the system finished speaking, Zhou Hui saw a pair of white pearls flash through his mind. It looked round, but the only difference between it and a pearl was that it didn't have the color of a pearl.

This … could this be the legendary Wind Catching Ear?

"System, are you joking with me? How should I use this thing?"

The System was helpless, but it could not show it.

He used a mechanical and cold voice to tell Zhou Hui, "Please extend your hand and think about the Wind Catching Ear. Once you have it, you will know what to do with it."

Zhou Hui still didn't understand the meaning of the system, but when he called out to the system again, there was no response from the system.

He had no choice but to try it out according to the method the system told him.

Zhou Hui's mind was filled with thoughts of that pair of round beads. He then stretched out his hand, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the pair of round beads lying in his palm.

Zhou Hui was extremely shocked. He kept looking at it and holding it in his hands.

Zhou Hui had only seen Wind Catching Ear on television before. He knew that the deity called Wind Catching Ear existed in the sky, but his greatest ability was to listen in on his surroundings. He just didn't know if his pearls had such effects.

Zhou Hui closed his eyes in doubt and slowly began to feel things out.
