CHAPTER XLVI

During his time in Boise, he saw an email from France saying that a vineyard was willing to sell him some oak barrels, but he needed to see it for himself.

Thinking that the farm has been in a plateau recently, and there is nothing to do for the time being, I flew directly to San Francisco to see if Chiyo had time to go to France together.

Chiyo Tachibana has been working hard in recent months, and the credits have increased rapidly, and due to non-stop meditation, she can already cast a level 0 spell Xiaoice Ball, although it is not lethal, but it makes the little woman happy for many days.

But in the last few days, she has suddenly become busy again, with a French music ensemble coming to the Academy, and the Academy requires all graduating students to participate in this exchange, which will have an impact on the critical evaluation of graduation, so she has to participate in the whole process.

"Honey, are you saying that your exchange is very crucial? Can't make it to France? It's a shame, it doesn't matter, we can travel to Europe again in the future"

Chiyo Tachibana clamped her lover's thigh, and the proud twin peaks squeezed on his chest, "I want to go too, but this time it has a big impact on whether I can graduate, so I can't help it." You're going to go for a few days, and we'll go back later."

"Hmm", Lan Jiawei could only face the reality helplessly. "Don't move, little goblin, I'm going to become a big bad wolf", after saying that, he turned over and got on the horse, and fought the "little goblin" to the bone, and was defeated.

In Paris, France, it was already the beginning of June. Lan Jiawei got off the plane, and as soon as he walked out of the airport, he saw a well-dressed white man walking forward: "Mr. Lan?" I'm Daniel, the director of the estate, welcome to France."

Lan Jiawei took two steps forward and shook Daniel's hand: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Daniel, I didn't expect you to come in person, it's an honor"

"Mr. Lan is fluent in French, let's go, there is still a lot of way"

Lan Jiawei followed Danielle to a luxurious Citroen business car, the driver opened the car door for the two, and the two chatted about some inconsequential topics along the way, driving for more than 4 hours before the car entered a rather huge manor.

Lan Jiawei feels good about the suburbs of France, it is really picturesque, lush everywhere and the elements are alive.

"Mr. Lan, please go in and rest for a while, I'll arrange dinner, the oak barrel is in the manor, you can see it tomorrow", Danielle left after introducing Lan Jiawei into a rather large suite.

Because the manor had quite a few servants and gardeners, he was noticed without noticing that he had gotten out of the car. In another room, Renee watched with hazy eyes as Lan Jiawei got out of the car and entered the manor.

Wells, the old butler, stood behind her, "Miss, this is not the Jeffrey family's manor, you can go down and meet Mr. Blue."

Renee shook her head, "Wells, I know you're doing it for my good. But I can't be selfish, I'm about to get married, I don't want to affect him, he's different from Jeffrey, I can't affect his mood before he gets married, it's going to make it difficult for him to meet him. And I don't underestimate Jeffrey, JAVY told me a Chinese proverb: the lion fights the rabbit with all his strength, I will not underestimate anyone, this is the advantage from JAVY, so many servants in case someone takes a photo, my family will be very passive, can't gamble, I ......, as long as I can see him again, I will be satisfied"

wiped away his tears and looked at his son in the cradle, "Wells, you can have a few drinks with him at night, and take good care of him for me"

When Danielle came to invite Lan Jiawei downstairs, he had already changed into his formal clothes and came to the banquet hall, where he saw an old man looking at him with a smile.

Danielle introduced: "Mr. Blue, this is the steward of our estate, Mr. Wells"

Lan Jiawei took the initiative to reach out his hand: "It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Wells"

Wells politely shook Lan Jiawei's hand, "Let's speak English, Mr. Lan, I'm actually British."

Then, the servant next to him pulled out his chair, Wells made a gesture to take a seat, and Lan Jiawei sat down.

"Mr. Wells, your accent is kind, please forgive me for not knowing much about this"

After signaling to serve the food, Wells said, "My hometown is Oxford, and the English accent you learn is from my hometown," and smiled implicitly.

"Forgive me for my presumptuousness, isn't the master of this manor?" , Lan Jiawei asked a little puzzled

"This estate belongs to the old French family of Navarre, Mr. Lan, and they don't have time to manage it, so it's usually Danielle who manages it," Wells replied as he elegantly picked up a French snail and finished eating.

Lan Jiawei has seen a lot of this kind of scene, I don't know how many times he has experienced it in the Human Empire before, eating French dinner unhurriedly, and drinking vintage wine with the two estate managers very gentlemanly.

Wells's eyes became more and more appreciative, "Mr. Lan, we have a lot of cars here, you can drive to Paris at will, you don't have to worry about your driver's license, no one will check you"

"No, thank you very much for the hospitality, I'm here to do business this time, maybe I'll talk about it later"

After dinner, Lan Jiawei walked around the manor a little, and then went back to the room, so that Wells and the moon night Renee arranged by them to see the lover failed to do so, and the old butler believed that this young man was indeed quite self-disciplined.

The next day, when Lan Jiawei visited the oak barrels that had been moved, Renee comforted her longing heart. Although Lan Jiawei occasionally felt it and looked around, there were many servants, gardeners, etc. around, so he didn't notice that Renee behind the window was hugging him with his eyes.

"Are you sure that so many oak barrels cost only $300,000? Mr. Daniel"

Danielle ran through countless grass and mud horses and rolled his eyes countless times in his heart: "I can't buy anything that is controlled by the government for 20 million dollars by others", but he can only reply: "Yes, Mr. Lan, I'm sure"

Lan Jiawei visited the vineyards and wineries in the manor, and learned a lot of things, which can be used in his own winery in the future. Although Danielle quickly drew up an agreement, he still dragged on for a few days to sign it with Lan Jiawei for his own young lady, so that Renee, who was hiding to watch her lover, almost couldn't help but rush down and hug the person she loved many times.

Even if he eats the most delicious food and lives an emperor-like life, Lan Jiawei still remembers his home and wants to go back early. When Danielle couldn't keep him and send a car to take him to the airport, Lan Jiawei seemed to feel something, and when he went out of the gate, he looked back at the window: "Renee?" No, I'm hallucinating," and then shook his head, not thinking about it.

Renee watched him leave with hazy eyes, her fingers white, clenching the pendant made of B stones on her chest, tears pouring down her eyes.

(Note: French oak barrels are controlled and sold by the French government, because the density of its wood is higher, so the sealing is stronger than that of American oak barrels, which is convenient for long-term cellaring, and will immerse the unique agarwood of oak into the wine, which plays a great role in improving the quality of wine.
