Chapter 439: Winning the Competition
Zhou Dayuan ran out of the hall door, eagerly looking for Jian Han. Where is she?
Will something happen to her?
Okay, okay, he admitted, he regretted it.
He shouldn't.
It's just that I haven't seen her for six days, but she is with Tang Fan. She is afraid that Tang Fan will get her, and that she will give that charm to another man...
Zhou Dayuan looked around, and then he froze.
There were two people standing by the fountain not far away. The Jian Han he was looking for was being held in Tang Fan's arms.
The woman was still crying, Tang Fan held her tightly, touched her back with one hand, lowered his eyes, and placed a gentle kiss on her hair.
Zhou Dayuan looked at the two people blankly. They were only more than ten meters apart, but they seemed to be separated by a world.
Oh, he slowly raised the corners of his lips, then turned and left.
He had been a fool again.
…
Jian Han was tired of crying. She wiped the tears off her face with her small hand and left Tang Fan's arms. "Tang Fan, thank you."
Tang Fan shook his head, his eyes full of tenderness, "You're welcome... don't cry anymore, crying too much is not good for the child... forget Zhou Dayuan, he is not worthy, he is not worthy of you!"
Tang Fan was angry. He was just socializing with others for a while. In the next moment, he saw Jian Han running out in tears. He hurriedly chased her.
You don't need to think about it to know that it was Zhou Dayuan who made her cry, and only that man could bully her like this.
Jian Han sniffed the tip of her red nose and said in a hoarse voice, "Tang Fan, forget it, he is a thing of the past... When the competition is over, I will return to Singapore. I will never have anything to do with him in the future."
"Is it really no longer relevant? Jian Han, you are deceiving yourself. You have his child in your belly, and he is the father of your child. Jian Han, do you really want to give birth to this child and raise him alone? Well, you don’t have parents and relatives anymore. It’s very hard for a woman to raise a child. Do you want to think about it again? "
Jian Han raised her eyes to look at Tang Fan and put a small hand on her lower abdomen. She twisted her eyebrows and said, "Tang Fan, don't say such things to me again in the future. This child is mine. He will be born and raised.”
Jian Han left after saying that.
Tang Fan quickly grabbed Jian Han's slim arm and said, "Jian Han, don't be angry. I won't say anything anymore. I just feel sorry for you. No matter if you give birth to this child, I will treat your child as my own." , Jian Han, let’s go back to Singapore together, don’t refuse me this time, let me take care of you mother and son.”
Jian Han withdrew her slim arm with force, "Tang Fan, thank you for staying with me all these years, but I still say the same thing, I can only treat you as my senior brother, it's impossible for us. Tang Fan, don't Come back to Singapore with me and find a good girl to start a family with."
Jian Han raised her feet and left.
…
The wine competition has officially begun.
Zhou Zhilei stood on the rostrum in a smart professional suit. With an elegant and calm smile, she said calmly, "Today is the official start of our Zhou Family Red Wine Competition. Thank you all for coming..."
Ning Qing and the contestants lined up in the hall. The first one on the left and right in front of the rostrum were the world's top wine critics and wealthy people from all over the world.
Ning Qing sweated for herself, looked up, and saw Zhou Heng in a Chinese tunic suit, sitting in the first place on the right hand side accompanied by the butler.
That high position belongs exclusively to the world's winery king.
Make people look up to you.
Zhou Heng also saw her, and a kind and encouraging smile suddenly appeared on his old face.
Ning Qing raised the corners of her lips and blinked her long eyelashes playfully. She pointed to the red wine on her table with her little finger and gave herself a thumbs up.
Zhou Heng didn't expect her to make this move. He immediately laughed "haha". This little girl was so confident.
Ning Qing smiled happily "Hehe".
Zhou Zhilei on the podium finished her polite words and officially announced the start of the red wine competition. A waiter held a blue and white porcelain small wine glass and took wine from the red wines of the contestants one by one.
Xiao Zhou stood next to Ning Qing. When the waiter arrived, Xiao Zhou stepped forward and opened the cap of the red wine bottle.
When the waiter was getting the wine, Xiao Zhou's eyes met Zhou Zhilei's in the crowd. Faced with Zhou Zhilei's questioning expression, Xiao Zhou nodded slowly.
Zhou Zhilei was relieved and secretly proud of herself.
Doesn't Ning Qing want to participate in the red wine competition? She will definitely give her a big "surprise" this time.
What does Ning Qing want to do? She created her own Yifan red wine. Does she want to win the wine competition and set sail with Yifan red wine from then on?
Zhou Zhilei sneered. If Ning Qing wants to rise to the top of the Zhou family wine competition, then she, the eldest lady of the Zhou family, will have to see if she agrees or not!
The waiter placed the blue and white porcelain small wine glass in the hands of the sommelier. James tasted a few glasses and said to Zhou Heng, "The contestants in this competition are all very strong, and the level of wine making is in the middle to upper level."
Zhou Heng tasted the red wine in his hand, smiled and said nothing.
Zhou Zhilei looked at it, knowing that Zhou Heng was not satisfied with the red wine. Her grandfather had almost strict requirements for red wine.
Zhou Zhilei personally took the red wine from the waiter's hand and placed it in front of Zhou Heng. She glanced at Ning Qing meaningfully, cleared her throat and said loudly, "This year's contestants are indeed hiding dragons and crouching tigers. No, this glass is... Let’s have a taste of the wine brewed by Ning Qing, the new celebrity director in the entertainment industry, our Mrs. Lu.”
As soon as these words came out, Ning Qing instantly became the focus of the audience.
All the media flashes hit her face, and there were many people in the first-hand seats who were excited, "Oh, this cup is brewed by Mrs. Lu? Mrs. Lu has been very popular on the Internet recently, and your Yifan red wine is even more mysterious. We are all looking forward to the red wine brewed by Mrs. Lu."
Ning Qing looked at Zhou Zhilei calmly on the surface. This woman was also strange. She mentioned her name in this occasion, intending to make her the focus.
Would she be so kind?
Ning Qing's delicate little face bloomed with a bright smile, and her crisp voice was as beautiful as jade, "Thank you for the compliment. In the red wine industry, everyone here is a senior, and I am just an insignificant newcomer. Because I love brewing, I broke into the red wine industry. I hope the seniors here will give me more advice."
Ning Qing's words flattered her both smoothly and loudly. Sure enough, those people smiled one after another, and looked at her with such kind eyes. They had heard that Mrs. Lu was very versatile and thoughtful, and she was not a small character.
Everyone looked at her with more respect.
Zhou Heng's love for Ning Qing increased. In his eyes, winemaking skills were secondary. First of all, one must be a good person.
People who really know how to be a good person are like Ning Qing. Even if they are in an inconspicuous crowd, they will shine.
Because she has her own light.
Zhou Heng smiled and looked sideways at Lu Shaoming on his left. The man looked at his wife. Although he didn't show much expression, his handsome eyebrows were full of affection.
Zhou Heng joked, "I didn't know that Mrs. Lu would come to participate in the competition in advance. How good is it now? Mrs. Lu is here. How does Mr. Lu plan to vote?"
This question attracted countless envy.
Ning Qing blushed and looked at him, bumping into his dark and bright eyes. In front of the public with shining lights, I don't know how he will answer.
Lu Shaoming raised his thin red lips, and his low and mellow voice was teasing and lazy, "Mr. Zhou asked a strange question. In my eyes, my wife brewed the wine, so I naturally voted for her, because she will always be the best in my heart."
Someone in the crowd was gasping, Ning Qing's heart skipped a beat, and her face was already burning.
This man...
Lu Shaoming didn't finish yet, and continued, "But if I vote for her, everyone must think I am biased...If I don't vote, there will be trouble tonight, so why not, I abstain."
"Wow..." Everyone laughed.
For his words "there will be trouble tonight".
Ning Qing was so embarrassed that she didn't dare to look up. Someone among the reporters below took over the conversation, "Our Director Ning has always been vigorous and resolute in the entertainment industry, but I didn't expect that he is so decisive at home. Our great Mr. Lu has become a henpecked husband. If he doesn't vote, he may have to kneel on the washboard when he goes home tonight."
Everyone talked, and the atmosphere quickly became lively.
Zhou Zhilei's chest was on fire, and her hands hanging by her side were tightly clenched into fists. She almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Her original intention was indeed to make Ning Qing the focus of the whole audience, so that she would stand high and fall deep. What she didn't expect was that Ning Qing actually took advantage of the situation and escaped from her control.
Look at Lu Shaoming again. She has known him for 26 years, and this is the first time she has seen him like this.
Washboard?
What the hell?
Who is he?
President Guangqing, the heir of the Lu family, the first chaebol in the empire, who holds power at the age of 32.
How can Ning Qing be worthy of this, how dare he?
Zhou Zhilei suppressed the fire in her heart and smiled, "Okay, everyone, we have laughed enough, now let's taste the fine wine brewed by Mrs. Lu."
She quickly got back to the point, and could not let Ning Qing continue to shine.
So everyone stopped laughing and picked up the small blue and white porcelain wine glasses at the same time.
Zhou Zhilei stood beside Zhou Heng, her eyes were fixed on every expression of Zhou Heng as he drank the red wine. She asked Xiao Zhou to secretly replace Ning Qing's wine, what kind of strange taste would this wine have, she expected Zhou Heng to show a disappointed look on his face.
Sure enough, Zhou Heng took a sip of the wine, his hand paused, and his face froze.
There was a look of hesitation.
The whole audience was silent, and everyone's wine glasses paused for a moment, looking for this different taste of red wine.
Zhou Zhilei was getting more and more proud. She waited for Zhou Heng to speak. Soon, Zhou Heng took another sip of red wine. He lowered his eyes to look at the shimmering red wine in the blue and white porcelain cup, and slowly looked up at Ning Qing, "Girl, what kind of wine is this?"
Ning Qing smiled softly in the eyes of the audience, "Grandpa Zhou, this is the daisy in the Ivan Red Wine Flower Series. Daisy, pure and innocent, takes you back to your hometown in your dreams."
Ning Qing winked playfully, "Grandpa Zhou, have you gone back? Who is in your hometown in your dreams?"
So everything was beyond Zhou Zhilei's expectations. She stared at Ning Qing in a daze as he received thunderous applause like a tide. She stared at Zhou Heng personally holding her little hand and walking up to the first prize honors platform. She stared at Ning Qing standing in front of domestic and foreign media, bringing her Ivan Red Wine Flower Series to a successful launch.
