Chapter 218: Encountering Someone Unladylike
The Margaux Wine Packaging Design Contest was taken seriously by Château Margaux, and after Liu Shixin arrived at Paris International Airport, the staff of the competition was responsible for picking up the airport and taking him directly to Château Margaux. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Under normal circumstances, the Margaux Castle will not receive foreign guests, but this time it is different, and 9 competition designers with the same identity as Liu Shixin live in the antique Margaux Castle together.
It is the first time that Liu Shixin has had such close contact with the ancient castles of Europe, and it is also the first time in his life to live in them, and the sense of freshness and novelty is difficult to explain. Liu Shixin surrounded the castle and his guest room, kept taking pictures, and sent them to Zheng Xiuyan in Canada.
Canada and France are 6 time zones apart, when Zheng Xiuyan received these photos, it was the afternoon of Canadian time, she was practicing painting in the study, and when she saw these photos sent by Liu Shixin, she was very angry, of course, more envious. She loved this kind of castle, and like most girls, she had imagined herself to be a princess, and that she would live in such a castle and that there would be handsome knights to protect her. And now, Liu Shixin is enjoying it, she can only stay in the study, working hard for the assessment at the end of the semester.
"Hey~West~" Zheng Xiuyan, who had no one at home, burst into a foul mouth, threw the paintbrush aside, and sat back next to the study angrily.
"Don't be sassy, you still want to think about how you won?" Zheng Xiuyan sent a message back to Liu Shixin, wanting to pour a basin of cold water on him.
"Even if you don't get the first place, it's worth it to come here for a tour. Liu Shixin replied.
"Ah, you mean, my reward is not as good as a visit to the castle?" is the case with a woman, when you cherish something, she will shirk it in every possible way, and when you don't care, she will get angry.
Seeing Zheng Xiuyan's reply, Liu Shixin dialed a video call.
"Angry?" As soon as it was connected, Liu Shixin saw Zheng Xiuyan's bulging bun face.
"Nope!"
"If you're angry, just say it~" Liu Shixin said with a smile.
"I said, no!" Listening to Liu Shixin's teasing tone, Zheng Xiuyan hung up the phone angrily, it wasn't that she was playing a tantrum. On the one hand, she was really envious of Liu Shixin, and on the other hand, the tension brought about by the approaching final assessment made her a little sensitive and irritable.
"Why didn't you call yet?" A few minutes had passed since he hung up the phone, and Liu Shixin didn't call again, which made Zheng Xiuyan mutter.
"It can't be angry, right?Why is he angry, I'm still angry~" Throwing the phone back aside, Zheng Xiuyan pouted and became even more unhappy.
Ten minutes later, Liu Shixin's phone called again.
"Hey~ I know you can't bear it......" Zheng Xiuyan was very proud, but before answering the phone, she deliberately put her smile back and replaced it with an unhappy look.
"Maomao, the person in charge of this competition came to me just now to talk about something, so I didn't call you back in time because of the delay. Seeing Zheng Xiuyan's tense face, Liu Shixin hurriedly explained.
"Oh, got it. Zheng Xiuyan had forgiven Liu Shixin in her heart, but she was still the same on the surface, and replied coldly.
"Is it because of the end-of-semester assessment that you're in a bad mood?"
"How do you know?" Zheng Xiuyan was surprised this time, she didn't expect Liu Shixin to actually see it.
"I don't know you yet? You lose your temper over that little thing? You didn't have such a big temper during your period. Liu Shixin said with a smile.
"Ah!" was talked about by Liu Shixin about the menstrual period, Zheng Xiuyan said angrily.
"Take it easy, in fact, the assessment is very simple, and it is no problem to show your usual state. "Except for the art history course, which has a test paper, the assessment of other courses is mainly based on painting. After a few months of systematic study, Zheng Xiuyan's painting level has improved a lot.
"Usual times and assessment are two different things...... "I haven't taken the test for many years, and when I think of someone supervising the field, Zheng Xiuyan feels a little inexplicably nervous.
"I'll go with you and wait for you outside the exam room. ”
"Hmm. ”
"By the way, do you know what the prize for the winner of this event will be?"
"Isn't it just a prize money? The official website of the competition was available at the beginning, and you still care about that money?" In the design competition, those who enter the semi-final stage will receive a reward of 5,000 US dollars, and the winner will be rewarded with 50,000 US dollars. There is a lot of money, but for Liu Shixin, it is not worth mentioning.
"If it's just money, I won't tell you, just now the person in charge told me that the prize has been temporarily increased for this competition. ”
"Oh, what's added?" The thing that can make Liu Shixin interested is definitely not money, and Zheng Xiuyan is also very curious.
"It's red wine, red wine. Anyone who makes it to the semi-finals will receive a 2005 Margaux and, crucially, a 1990 vintage, which is not available to the general public. "The 2005 vintage is still available in the market. As for the quality of the 1990 vintage, which is second only to the 1982 and 1983 vintages, and there is very little left of the wine itself, most of it has been collected by some European aristocrats and the world's richest people, so this reward is not insignificant.
"Really?" As a wine lover, Zheng Xiuyan knows a lot about red wine. She knew that the famous sommelier Robert Parker had a high opinion of the 1990 Margaux vintage, so the wine was a sky-high price on the outside, and more importantly, it was not in the market.
"What am I lying to you for?"
"Liu Shixin, I now order you that you must win and bring back the red wine. Zheng Xiuyan has taken a fancy to this bottle of red wine, even if she doesn't drink it, it is a treasure at home.
"Ahh ”
Yes, hearing Liu Shixin say this, Zheng Xiuyan was conflicted. She really wants that bottle of red wine, then the corresponding Liu Shixin has to win, and she has to realize the reward of Chengruo, and if she says that she gives up red wine, she is a little reluctant.
"No matter, it's a big deal to rely on the debt when the time comes. Zheng Xiuyan thought to herself, she has now completely ignored the fact that Liu Shixin may not be able to win the final victory.
"So...... So you have to work hard. ”
"You weren't thinking about the debt just now, right?" Liu Shixin saw Zheng Xiuyan's hesitant expression just now.
"How...... How is that possible? I've always been a man of my word. ”
"Who's that last time?"
"Didn't you agree before?"
"I don't agree that there is a way?" Liu Shixin said, he was obviously coerced at the beginning.
"Then I don't care. "Zheng Xiuyan is a tsundere with a face.
"I'm really ...... I'll do my best, and I won't be able to cheat anymore when the time comes. ”
"No problem!"
"Don't roll your eyes, look into my eyes and talk......"
"There are so many things, I still have to practice, I won't talk to you more, bye-bye. ”
Looking at the blackened screen, Liu Shixin was a little speechless. It seems that Zheng Xiuyan really wants to cheat again, she is really "unladylike".
