Chapter 156 The World Champion’s Ex-Girlfriend (7)
The plane was transiting in the capital. While waiting for the flight, the two of them met like old friends and kept chatting. By the end, they were both a little tired.
The flight from the capital to Paris was in the middle of the night, and we couldn't talk at all, so we each wrapped ourselves in a blanket and fell asleep.
I slept until my connecting flight in Paris. Feeling energetic again, we visited the duty-free shop at the Paris airport together and bought a lot of souvenirs.
Xu Yin bought two sets of skin care products for Xu’s mother, a tie for Xu’s father, and several perfume sets in small bottles. They were not very expensive, but they were still affordable as gifts.
I saw chocolate, foie gras and other snacks and condiments and bought some.
After getting off the plane in Bordeaux, the two separated because Wen Lisa was picked up by the grandson of her grandfather's friend.
Xu Yin’s smashing it was weird: Could it be that the two elders wanted to bring the two juniors together, right?
It was impossible to use it as a light bulb, so I found an excuse to leave first, hailed a taxi and went straight to my winery.
The Xu family’s winery in Bordeaux was an estate owned by the original great-grandfather.
As the international situation improves, the old man left a last wish before his death, asking his descendants to take his and the old lady’s ashes back to his hometown for burial. He hoped that the leaves would return to their roots, and the original grandfather would naturally comply with his request.
At that time, there was a lot of waste in the country, and investment was very prosperous. Grandpa Xu opened an industrial company in his hometown, mainly producing red wine packaging, such as wine bottles, corks, wine shells, etc., for export to Bordeaux.
Gradually, wineries in the Bordeaux area came to him to place orders, and business started like this.
When red wine became popular in China, Grandpa Xu spent more money to buy a piece of land and build a wine estate in China.
But it may be due to differences in water and soil. With the same brewing process, the taste of domestic red wine is not as good as that produced in Bordeaux.
So Grandpa Xu transported the wine from Bordeaux wineries in large wooden barrels and sold it domestically. This is top-quality red wine, and the price is as you can imagine, but there are many people who like to drink in China, and no matter how expensive it is, people will buy it. Gradually, the Xu family's business grew bigger and bigger.
It’s just that Xu’s father’s generation did not inherit the pioneering spirit of the old man, and did not inherit Grandpa Xu’s investment vision, so he was not very good at business.
After Grandpa Xu passed away, Father Xu tried to invest in several projects, but all ended in losses, so he was particularly envious of those who knew how to invest.
He would believe it even if someone boasted about it.
For example, Zhang Peng, whom he regarded as a golden finger in the investment world, was actually a bully, coveting the Xu family's property. Xu's father and he were brothers, and sooner or later he lost all his money.
Xu Yin expressed that she was extremely worried about her father in this body, and she had to find a way to let her father see Zhang Peng's true face.
She came to the winery mainly for this purpose.
The original extra story described the tragic ending of the male protagonist’s ex-girlfriend’s family:
The Xu family winery changed owners, and the new boss was Zhang Peng. After the Xu family of three was kicked out of the villa, Xu's father once asked him for help, hoping that he would lend a helping hand to help the Xu family tide over the difficulties, but he refused.
Xu Yin suspected from this that Zhang Peng had long coveted the Xu family's winery. He had opened a winery a long time ago, but it was either because the wine was not good or the management was poor. Packaged himself as an investment predator.
So she wanted to come to the winery and look for clues. There were really no clues, so she might as well ask the winery manager to be more vigilant.
If Zhang Peng had been coveting the Xu family winery from the beginning, he must have inspected the place and thought it would be profitable, so he collaborated with others to set a trap for Xu's father.
One more thing, she has a lot of wine recipes in her hand, and she keeps them. If they can be turned into tangible assets, it will not be in vain for her hard work in the small world.
In this small world, she has been dealing with wine all her life.
The Xu family's winery in Bordeaux is not small, with 500 acres of vineyards alone, a winery and a living manor covering an area of hundreds of acres, and a dedicated wine cellar underground. Of course, this scale is far from that of Chateau Lafite. Typically, it is less than the upper one but more than the lower one.
This is even the case in Bordeaux, not to mention the small wineries in China. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are envious, and there are many people who covet them.
When Xu Yin arrived with a huge suitcase, the old housekeeper who had worked for the winery for more than fifty years was surprised, but he didn't ask any questions and led her upstairs, bringing her toiletries and afternoon tea. Ask her what she wants for dinner and get the kitchen ready early.
Xu Yin just wanted to take a bath and sleep, so she waved her hand to say no, she would wait until she was full.
The old housekeeper helped her gently close the door and left.
Xu Yin took an essential oil bath, closed the curtains and fell asleep in darkness.
When I woke up, it was already a starry night in Bordeaux.
With her stomach singing about the empty city plan, Xu Yin stretched out and was about to get up to find some food. At this moment, the system went online as if it would go down at any time.
Xu Yin raised her eyebrows and lazily leaned against the bedside to log in to the interface.
Go to the personal center first and check the balance of energy points. The reward from the last small world has arrived, 20,000 points, not bad.
Then she looked down at the task completion progress bar. This was what she was most concerned about. This time she had moved forward by 2 small spaces, which was less than the last time. But at least it had moved forward, which was better than not moving at all.
At present, the progress bar has advanced by 8 cells, and the maximum time ratio has increased to 800:1.
In other words, even if she spent eight hundred years traveling back and forth in the small world, it would only be one year before she returned to the real world, which made her feel less panicked. If I work harder, maybe when I go back, only ten and a half days have passed in the real world, and I haven’t disturbed my family yet.
She poked into the system mall and searched for a function called "scene simulation" that had been enabled before.
The "scene simulation" that was randomly turned on by the system gave her a taste of the sweetness in the previous few small worlds.
Unfortunately, because she ran out of experience, it was taken back by the dog system in the last small world, so this time she planned to redeem a permanent payment out of her own pocket.
found it!
It’s so expensive that it makes people vomit blood, it costs 18,000 points!
This is the rhythm to clear out the rewards she just received, which are only 20,000 points in total.
Can it be redeemed or not?
She glanced at the suitcase, where there was a pile of professional books waiting for her. Thinking of the deceitful Croatian language, she gritted her teeth and cashed in!
Spent 18,000 energy points to redeem the permanent scene simulation function.
Xu Yin got up and washed her face, rummaged through the system warehouse, got a bottle of milk, and picked out a few snacks she was interested in. After filling her stomach, she switched the scene simulation to the language category and concentrated on learning Croatian.
Fortunately, it is only the first semester, and the professional courses are not in-depth yet, and they are all superficial knowledge points and concepts.
Two hours later, "Language Theory" got an S.
Another two hours later, "Introduction to Linguistics" also got an S.
Looking at the professional books I brought, the only entry-level Croatian books left are "Basic Correspondences (1 and "Basic Oral Communication".
At this time, the sky was already bright.
Xu Yin rubbed her eyes, exited the simulation scene, got up and went downstairs.
