Chapter 212: Chapter 200 Hi, Long Time No See

The handsome man, surrounded by a crowd and walking this way, had an extraordinarily refined appearance and elegant temperament, emitting a royal-like nobility all over. She suddenly remembered him standing in front of that boundless vineyard, mentioning he had worked there for about ten years.

Yes, he was really Reynolds, the man she had met in a foreign land, the owner of the entire Lafite Manor, a member of the distinguished clan.

It was unexpected, but he was the general manager’s special assistant; however, upon closer thought, it wasn’t strange at all, as the general manager had come here specifically to explore the wine culture of Aus City, just like the paper she had been writing about: The Humanistic Care in Wine Culture.

The materials summarized by Li Ruhai actually included his name; he was one of the general manager’s accompanying personnel. But when Gu Qili saw the name Reynolds, she didn’t associate it with him, thinking it was too much of a coincidence, as there were countless men named Reynolds.

But now it seemed, no coincidence makes a story.

Reynolds seemed to have seen her too, but he didn’t show any unusual expressions. After greeting the people who came to receive him, he finally stopped in front of her, bowed his head, and his gentle gaze fell on her face.

Gu Qili looked up and smiled at him, extending her hand for an introduction: "Hello Mr. Reynolds, I am Gu Qili from the hotel, and this is our planning director Li Ruhai."

Reynolds looked at her; his voice was so low that outsiders couldn’t hear it. In their eyes, it was just a warm greeting.

In this romantic setting, hugging as a greeting was commonplace, but with so many people welcoming him here, only Gu Qili enjoyed this treatment.

"They really went all out this time, getting such a beautiful vase. See, their little calculations are so satisfying, the special assistant really noticed her," whispered some others from the hotel immediately.

"What use is a vase, the assistant isn’t here for a beauty pageant, strength is what matters most."

"Strength is very important indeed, but such an eye-catching method is quite despicable too."

"That’s all they are capable of."

Li Ruhai also hurriedly extended his hand, Reynolds shook it, and then the group entered the conference hall.

Along the way, there were many journalists following them. Gu Qili felt a bit flustered seeing such an array, especially with the cameras clicking non-stop. She instinctively wanted to bow her head to avoid the dazzling flashes, but seeing everyone else composed as if seasoned in battle, she gathered her disordered thoughts and forced herself to face these spotlight with the most stable demeanor. Her slightly flustered gaze collided with Reynolds, who quickly winked at her with a mischievous charm.

Gu Qili was stunned for a moment, but he had already turned his head back to his refined and noble face.

She smiled softly to herself, feeling much relieved from her nerves because of his small gesture. At the same time, the phone she had been holding vibrated.

She looked down; it was a message from Mu Shuoqian.

By this time, everyone had taken their seats; she and Li Ruhai sat on the far left of the front row, next to the representatives from the other three hotels.

The self-introduction session hadn’t started yet, and she quickly opened Wechat to see a very simple message, consistent with his style: Keep it up!

Gu Qili stared at those two characters, plain and unornamented, with nothing special about them, yet her tense mood slowly settled because of these simple words.

He was her stabilizer, a spell that allowed her to face forward fearlessly.

Not long after, the self-introduction session started, with the first presenter from the Great Four Seas, their most formidable competitor at this event.

Li Ruhai had just sat down and began texting, occasionally frowning and looking towards the exit.

Great Four Seas was very well prepared, with their deputy general manager speaking, showing their high commitment to the project.

The deputy general manager spoke while Reynolds’ translator explained to him. He listened intently, nodding occasionally, while Great Four Seas’ two assistants observed his reactions nervously.

An hour later, after the deputy general manager of Great Four Seas had finished speaking, the audience erupted into applause, and Reynolds also clapped, saying a few words to his translator, who immediately noted them down in her book.
