Chapter 62: Who Lost?
In this family banquet held by the elder Doug, there were many laughs, and the unique humor of the Americans made the laughter never fall during the whole banquet. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
William sat next to old Doug as the guest of honor, and on the other side of him sat his wife, and next to his wife sat the virtuous and quiet maiden Claire.
It can be said that today is Claire's most well-behaved day.
"William, when you get old, your spirit is not good, when you go back in a while, please send Claire back, how about it?"
Old Doug sat on the sofa and let his wife touch his chest, he had eaten a lot just now, he took a bite of almost every dish, and drank four spoonfuls of the soup at the end.
"No problem, you rest more," William also understood that his day's party was finally over.
As Claire's deliberate target of Zhang's Villa, William must express reconciliation, whether it is the cooperation of the two families or the relationship with Jennifer, a naughty and naughty Claire cannot affect the friendship of the two families.
Claire, under William's care, sat on his Daben business car, finally waited for the car to drive out of the gate, let out a sigh of relief, reached out and ripped off the hairpin on his head, but with an aggrieved look on his pretty face, he shouted: "Xiao Zhang, I admit defeat, are you proud?" ”
"I'm not proud of anything."
Seeing Claire's expression sitting opposite him, William also relaxed and leaned back, when she was in junior high school, Claire was so proud, as if as soon as she surrendered and admitted defeat as the proud daughter of the sky, others should let her go.
William has the gentle and kind Nancy by his side, and he really doesn't look down on such a delicate lady. If it's a play, it's probably okay. Let yourself marry her, forget it.
Twenty-three years ago, Zhang Xiaofan came to New York with William, and after more than 20 years, he has made friends all over the seven continents and four oceans.
'Batman' Bruce Wayne regards Zhang Xiaofan as his life mentor, and Arthur Curry, the sea king of the Atlantis Empire, admires Zhang Xiaofan as a god.
When the youngest son of Sea King and Queen of the Sea, Ya Aili, was kidnapped by the black manta ray, and it was Zhang Xiaofan who personally intervened to rescue the little prince.
There are countless other families and royal families that have established diplomatic relations with Zhang Xiaofan, and the Houston family wants to marry the Zhang chaebol, Zhang Xiaofan doesn't care, but William is unwilling.
After all, for the sake of a small willow tree, let yourself give up the big forest, this is not what a gentleman should do.
Claire should have been frightened a lot in the past two days, otherwise she wouldn't be so well-behaved at the mercy of the family and apologize to herself in this way.
"Hmph, I don't know what my sister likes about you!"
Claire skillfully took out a bottle of ice wine from the car Xiaoice cabinet, skillfully opened it, poured herself a glass, and after drinking it, she felt that it tasted good, but the tone of her voice was still a little angry.
William was not considered excellent among his peers, and even had the titles of 'loser' and 'playboy'. Among the many families in New York, aside from the financial strength and influence of the Zhang chaebol, William is at most a little white face.
Among the many families in New York, the youngest generation shines brightest is the Luthor family's Lex.
Lex has a superior IQ, is extremely smart, has not yet graduated from college, has independently created a large chemical company of more than three billion, and has become a dazzling corporate star in New York and even in the whole United States.
It can be said that in Claire's opinion, William is just like herself, and he should be a good match.
And Lex Luthor, if not a little young, is only seventeen years old this year. He is the man who can match his sister Jennifer, at least in terms of IQ, the two of them are not far behind.
In the face of the undisguised contempt in Claire's tone, William turned a deaf ear.
Houston Hill Lodge arrived quickly, and in less than five minutes, Claire drank half of William's treasured bottle of Canadian ice wine, burped, and before getting out of the car, she opened the Xiaoice cabinet again, took a closer look, and held the last bottle in her arms.
William finally changed color, and he never dared to look at the ice wine in Claire's hand, because he was afraid that this woman would continue to pour her treasure.
Wine and beautiful women are one of William's few hobbies, and the ice wine that he can put in his private order is definitely the best among the wines.
Now watching Claire drink and take it, it is like leading the countryside, and William's long-lost distress feeling has reappeared.
"Look at your eyes, you're so stingy."
At the banquet, Claire didn't eat anything, and drank half a bottle of ice wine in a few minutes, also because the ice wine tasted too delicious, her face was ruddy at the moment, her eyes were a little flickering, and she smiled: "But the wine in your car is really delicious, what brand is it, I'll buy a few bottles and return it to you tomorrow?" ”
"It was brewed by the Canadian Eve Group."
William didn't dare to say a word, that is, these two bottles of ice wine were the first batch of fifty barrels of ice wine made by the men in black according to a recipe given by the Tarot aliens fifty years ago, when the Star Bureau was just established.
Don't think that 50 barrels of ice wine is a lot, first of all, the barrels are about 50 liters in size, and each barrel can only hold more than 40 liters of ice wine.
After the first batch of ice wine was brewed, at the Star Branch Conference forty years ago, Zhang Xiaofan rewarded this batch of ice wine to the seventy-two branch directors of the Star Branch Bureau at that time, each person with two bottles of ice wine per liter, and the director of the Star Branch who was later promoted was rewarded with half a liter of a bottle of ice wine each.
Now, fifty years later, this first batch of ice wine has been traded three times in the Star Branch Bureau, and each transaction has reached an astonishing amount of more than three thousand contribution points. And a little Star Bureau's contribution point can be exchanged for 10,000 US dollars.
Claire drank and took two bottles of ice wine, which was about a liter.
Converted to a value, that's $30 million.
Today, a young lady took away his last two bottles of ice wine, and William decided not to say it even if he was killed, otherwise he would become the laughing stock of those directors of the Star Bureau.
Claire may have really drunk it, holding a bottle of ice wine that has not yet opened her mouth in her left hand, and holding a bottle of ice wine that still has half a bottle of ice wine left in her right hand, she waved her hand and walked into Houston Hill Villa.
"Nancy, check it out for me, who put my favorite ice wine on the Daben business car!"
As soon as he returned to Zhang's Villa, William, who was extremely angry, was a little impatient, and commanded Nancy, who was looking at the data on the tablet.
"William, what's wrong with you?" Nancy put down the tablet in her hand, walked behind the man's back, stretched out her slender fingers, and gently kneaded them on the man's temples.
"Nothing...... I remember! ”
William's brain remembered only after the impulse passed, and he remembered that three months ago, when he had just customized the Daben business car to Zhang's Villa, Nancy asked him what kind of drinks he put on it.
It was he who personally put two bottles of the most precious ice wine, as well as a dozen or so bottles of red wine and champagne treasured in the cellar. At that time, it was completely out of love for Daben, which had just left the factory, and I didn't expect today's events to happen.
"What happened to those two bottles of ice wine?"
Xiao Hu Li finally finished the game, put down the game handle, and ran over, when she heard two bottles of ice wine, her eyes flashed, and she hurriedly asked.
The first batch of ice wine that Zhang Xiaofan got back then was just a barrel, and after opening, a total of twenty-three bottles were filled. Zhang Xiaofan drank almost ten bottles by himself, and later drank one bottle with Kang Wenxin and Ruth, and each gave more than a dozen confidantes a bottle each.
When Haiwang invited Zhang Xiaofan to participate in the banquet, Zhang Xiaofan took out the last four bottles of ice wine and presented them to Haihou Meila.
In Zhang's Winery, there were only five bottles left in the first batch of ice wine, William drank two bottles with Nancy and Little Hulie, and Nancy originally had one bottle, but before sending Zhang Xiaofan away, when Zhang Xiaofan called the family to gather, she gave this bottle of ice wine to Zhang Xiaofan's goddaughter Domino.
The two bottles of ice wine in the Mercedes-Benz business car are the only two bottles of ice wine that William has in the first batch of ice wine.
"Drink, let Claire drink!"
William's face was loveless, just now in the car, in order to maintain a proud posture, he was not embarrassed to refuse a bottle of ice wine, but he didn't expect that this woman actually took the last bottle after drinking it.
It can be said that although Claire conceded defeat, she dealt the most damaging blow to William.
Hearing the man's explanation, Xiao Huli and Nancy looked at each other and smiled, and could only admit bitterly, after all, although these two bottles of ice wine are rare, there are other years of ice wine in the cellar, and the number is not a lot.
Little Julie has a full ten bottles of the second batch of ice wine, and twenty bottles of the third batch of ice wine. As for the later ice wine, there are no special ingredients provided by the tarot stars, and the taste is slightly worse, but there is also a lot of stock in the cellar.
As William's female assistant and housekeeper, Nancy used more ice wine, and the total amount has reached more than five hundred bottles.
In addition to ice wine, champagne and red wine, as well as white wine from China, are almost full in the cellar. Before Zhang Xiaofan left, in the clamor of William, he took half of the stock.
At present, half of the wine in the wine cellar of Zhang's Villa is new wine that has only been put in this year.
As a gentleman, but unable to enjoy the sweetest wine in the world, this is painful for William.
I remember a senior who said: 'Ride the fastest horse, climb the highest mountain, eat the spiciest food, drink the strongest wine, play with the sharpest sword, and kill the most ruthless people'.
William felt like he had lost a hobby.
Smock felt a little inexplicable about William's regret, and when she learned the news of William's return, she immediately kicked out of her room, and she was very concerned about her crime file.
"It's in progress!"
Seeing Smock in a long dress, William's eyes lit up, knowing that Smock was very material, but he didn't expect it to be so material.
The arc of her breasts is a little exaggerated, her waist is round, and her hips are straight, and this woman doesn't look like a lesbian lala, but a little like the girl next door.
"When will it be done?"
Smok was a little impatient, and when he saw the man, he raised his eyebrows and explained in a panic: "I'm not urging, it's just that I haven't contacted my mother for a long time, and I'm afraid that she will be nervous about me." ”
"You can use the phone here."
William raised his eyebrows, he felt that he liked this straightforward woman a little bit after getting along in the past two days, but the case she committed was different from the previous case of Selena Kyle and Tess, and it had been sent to the Ministry of Defense. Even if William used the privilege of recruiting people in the Star Bureau, it was not easy to deal with.
There will be some technology exchange with the US Department of Defense in order to get an amnesty from the Pentagon.
The signing of the amnesty decree needs to be done by the president of the United States, but the current president of the United States is a little difficult, saying that he is studying it, and the specific time is likely to be delayed for ten days and half a month before there is a follow-up.
"I'm sorry for you," Smok was still very clever, and when she saw Selena coming down the stairs in a sexy black lace dress, she knew that it was not too suitable for her to stay any longer.
