Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Is It That Unlucky?

After Gu Qili finished speaking, she realized that the person she was talking to was a handsome man, with brown short hair, deep blue eyes, a high nose bridge, and the distinctive facial contours of a Westerner.

However, even if he was handsome, that did not give him the right to make such blatantly regionally prejudiced remarks.

Amidst the handsome man’s surprised expression, Gu Qili continued chirpily, "It’s true that our wine industry started later than yours, but we have always been exploring and developing, and there are many wine lovers and researchers in our country who are no less professional than yours."

Thinking of this, she thought of Mu Shuoqian, and how he embodies elegance and charm when he drinks.

"Just because we started later and have a shallow understanding of wine, we continue to learn and seek knowledge. You shouldn’t let your prejudice against a few affect your view of our country’s wine industry. In Africa, many people don’t wear shoes, but does that mean Africa shouldn’t produce shoes? On the contrary, because many people don’t wear shoes, there should be more effort in producing and studying shoes to let everyone wear them. Compared to your conservatism, I think we, the emerging wine countries, are more willing to innovate and take risks. Everyone has their advantages and disadvantages, do not generalize based on some."

Gu Qili said all this in one go without pausing. She often participated in various French and English speeches at school, so she was able to perform effortlessly.

The handsome man was stunned for a moment, then suddenly put down his wine glass with an amused curve appearing on his lips:

Gu Qili gave a slight nod, not letting his handsomeness affect her poor impression of him.

The handsome man stroked his chin: ""

"You are generalizing again, you, how do you know I am the bravest one?"

The handsome man paused for a moment and then laughed heartily, standing up from his seat and walking up to Qili.

Gu Qili took a step back cautiously, the man was too tall, almost as tall as Mu Shuoqian, giving off an intimidating presence.

"Hello, my name is Reynolds," he said very politely extending his hand.

Since he was being polite, Gu Qili couldn’t be too cold and shook his hand, "Gu Qili."

"Your French is very good, do you live in France?"

"No, I’m here on a business trip," said Gu Qili as her meal was served, "I’m going to eat now, I hope you can take our country’s attitude towards wine seriously. We’re not desperately trying to break into the industry, but sincerely wishing to assimilate into this big world."

Reynolds raised an eyebrow, "I apologize for my impulsive and impolite remarks earlier."

"No need to apologize, in fact, I don’t have the right to change your personal opinion," Gu Qili said before returning to her seat to eat.

Midway through the meal, Reynolds suddenly took an empty wine glass and sat down beside her, pouring wine from a bottle he brought into the glass, "Please have a drink."

Gu Qili apologetically shook her head, "I’m allergic to alcohol."

He paused, seemingly very disappointed, and took the glass back, "I wanted you to try a new wine from our winery, what a pity."

"Winery?" Gu Qili put down her knife and fork, looking at him excitedly, "Yours?"

He shrugged his shoulders, "Sort of."

"Then I have some questions about wineries I’d like to ask you, is that okay?" She got so excited she forgot about her slight aversion to him.

Reynolds was very generous in his attitude, "Of course you can."

While the two were talking, a butler-looking person came in, whispered something in Reynolds’ ear, and then left.

Reynolds stood up apologetically, "Qili, oh, you don’t mind me calling you that, do you? I need to leave for a bit; here’s my phone number, call me when you are free."

He handed her a business card, placing it under the wine glass.

Gu Qili said goodbye, and Reynolds left with the friend who had come earlier.

She picked up the business card and looked at it, then turned it over. When the beautiful French script caught her eyes, she almost cried out in surprise.

Lafite Winery, one of the only four first-growth wineries in France, renowned worldwide.

Was the person she just lectured really from Lafite Winery?

"Miss, you are really impressive." The waiter shook her head at her, "Mr. Reynolds is a very important person."

Did that mean no one dared to talk to him in that tone?

Gu Qili held her forehead.

Ah, my headache, when can I correct this impulsive habit.
