On Tuesday morning, after finishing breakfast, Yan Feifan was getting ready to leave when he called out to Yan Ziruo, "Sis, get me a bottle of Maotai. I'm planning to go ask someone to be my mentor this afternoon!"
Yan Ziruo let out an "Ah?" and asked tentatively, "Feifan, with your status now, do you still need to bring a gift to ask someone to be your mentor?"
"Can't you just bring a couple of bottles of red wine? A single bottle of Maotai is over a hundred thousand, you know."
Yan Feifan explained, "I'm the one asking for a favor, after all. It's best to show some humility. A substantial gift will make things go more smoothly."
"Hurry up, Sis."
Yan Ziruo hemmed and hawed for a moment before confessing, "My dear brother, I already traded all those bottles of Maotai to Mr. Wang for red wine."
She then explained, "None of us like drinking baijiu, anyway."
