Chapter Seventy-Three: Court Offerings
When she said this, I was stunned, and dozens of questions came to my mind at once: How did she know my birthday?
The only people who know my birthday are these people in the restaurant, and no one else knows, and even if some people know that people won't be interested in me, such as Lin Wei.
And Annie, there is absolutely no reason for them to tell Mu Xichun.
No matter how she knew, why did she come to celebrate my birthday, and brought two bottles of wine, judging from the font of the box of the wine, it should be French red wine, which is definitely worth a lot of money in terms of Mu Xichun's taste.
But in terms of my friendship with her, it is absolutely not to this extent, and it is more appropriate to say that I have no friendship with her than to say so.
If you tell outsiders that the president of Hongji City A personally brings wine to congratulate the company's employees, I'm afraid no one will believe it.
At the same time, there is a tricky problem at the moment, that is, let Mu Xichun in, if you invite her in, then don't think about eating happily tonight, if you don't invite her in, how to refuse, after all, people are here to celebrate my birthday, how to turn her away, besides, she is still my boss.
The book is a long story, in fact, I was stunned for a second, but this second was stunned, Mu Xichun actually entered the house from me, and when I came back to my senses, I was not in a hurry, Mu Xichun had already walked to the center of the living room.
"Huh? So fragrant? Have you cooked? Mu Xichun probably asked about the fragrance coming from the restaurant, and turned around and asked me.
"Yes...... Yes! I was a little overwhelmed when I came back to my senses.
At this time, Anne and the three of them should have heard the movement in the living room, walked out of the dining room, and saw Mu Xichun showing the same look of shock as I did just now, obviously not expecting it.
"Mr. Mu, why are you here?" Li Liang was the first to speak.
"Manager Li, you're here too!" Mu Xichun smiled and replied to the question.
Anne stretched out her hand, smiled generously with Mu Xichun, shook hands and greeted each other.
Unlike Anne and Li Liang, Xiang Dong looked at me and then looked at the red wine in Mu Xichun's hand and probably guessed a rough idea, his reaction was exaggerated to the extreme, he clapped his hands and said loudly: "Welcome, welcome, there is another big beauty, it seems that I have come to the right place today!" ”
After speaking, he made a gentlemanly and funny move, bent down and stretched out his hand to Mu Xichun, took Mu Xichun's hand, put it on his mouth and kissed it, and made a medieval European greeting gift.
Mu Xichun giggled, and let Xiang Dong, the disciple of Deng, kiss his little hand, but he was also generous and unpretentious.
"I don't know what the beauty of Mu is doing this time? Did you also come to celebrate Lao Wei's birthday? "Still opening to the east. His question was undoubtedly what Li Liang and Anne wanted to know the most, and their eyes couldn't help but look at Mu Xichun, waiting for her answer.
"Mr. Wei is my assistant, and on behalf of the company, I would like to congratulate Assistant Wei on his birthday, so I am here to celebrate his birthday like everyone else! It's just that I don't know if all of you are here, and I don't know if there are any abrupt places. Mu Xichun replied with a smile.
"It's not abrupt, it's not abrupt, it's an honor for Mr. Mu to come to us, it's too late to welcome! It's just that I'm afraid that Mr. Mu is not representing the company, but only the individual! Xiang Dong's expression was funny, and he said playfully.
But Mu Xichun just smiled noncommittally and didn't speak, I don't know whether to acquiesce or not want to explain more on this issue.
"Since Mr. Mu is also here to celebrate my brother's birthday, let's go together, we are just about to eat, Mr. Mu is here, please!" Anne took Mu Xichun's arm and made a gesture of please.
"Really...... Is it convenient? Mu Xichun hesitated slightly, but I could see at a glance that her hesitation had multiple traces of performance. Sure enough, after Anne's invitation again, she immediately followed Anne into the restaurant first.
Xiang Dong poked my waist with his fingers behind my back and whispered in my ear, "You Mu is always not interesting to you!" The president of such a big year will come to celebrate your birthday? What do you think! Tell me, is there any? ”
I glanced at the east and said, "You can pull it down, you dare to do this kind of daydream, I don't dare!" ”
I was just about to go in and pull me to the east again, "You still don't admit it, do you know what the two bottles of wine she are talking about?" ”
"It's just two bottles of red wine, and where is it going?" I wondered.
Xiang Dong slapped me on the back of the head, and looked at me with disdain like an idiot: "What else is going on?" What else is the origin? I tell you, this is the most expensive red wine in France, and it is specially provided by the royal family, and it has to be cellared for more than 50 years, and now it produces less than 2,000 bottles a year, which is something that money cannot buy, and some of the small quantities that flow out of the world are fried to more than 10,000 francs a bottle. Did you say there was a beginning? ”
I was shocked, I didn't expect these two bottles of wine to really have such a big origin, just from the words royal special to feel very powerful, but I don't know much about francs.
"How much can more than 10,000 francs be exchanged for?" I asked.
Xiang Dong gritted his teeth and said with some hatred: "I'll go, have you ever read a book, you white-collar workers are so mixed, let me tell you, this bottle of wine is less than 70,000 or 80,000 yuan or more than 100,000 yuan, you idiot!" ”
"Seven...... Seventy or eighty thousand? "My surprise was nothing short of extraordinary. The words stuttered involuntarily.
"Are you sure you read that right?" I couldn't believe it.
Xiang Dong was obviously annoyed by my question questioning him, and his face was red, his ears were red, his ears were scratched, and he almost laughed angrily at me.
"Am I wrong? How could I be mistaken, it's not me who blows, there is no famous wine in this world that I can't recognize at a glance! ”
"What are you two talking about, Mr. Mu is waiting, come over and eat!" Anne shouted at us as she came out of the dining room.
Xiang Dong promised and took my arm to the restaurant, but before I could come back to my senses, I was pulled by him and stumbled and almost fell.
"Scared! You kid better think about what you Mr. Mu mean to you, if I rely on the relationship between you and me, I won't take out this wine for you to drink. ”
When I came to the restaurant, Anne Mu Xichun and Li Liang had already sat down, I cleared my throat and said: "Thank you friends for coming to celebrate my birthday today, and thank you Mr. Mu for coming, I hope our friendship can last a long time, don't say more, let's have dinner quickly!" ”
Anne has already divided the cake, I don't like sweets since I was a child, just symbolically ate a little and put it aside, looked up and saw that Xiang Dong and Li Liang didn't eat much, while Anne and Mu Xichun ate with relish, the three of us men had to wait for the two women to finish eating before we could start the meal, but fortunately, it didn't take long for them to finish eating.
I took out a bottle of liquor that I had prepared before and was just about to pour it for everyone, Mu Xichun raised his hand and said, "Drink this!" Then he took out the two bottles of red wine from under the table and handed them to me.
I took the two bottles of red wine, my arm couldn't help but tremble a little, and I looked up to the east to see him looking at me with a smile on his face.
"Eating Chinese food and drinking red wine, Mr. Mu is really informal, and he is really a member of my generation!" Xiang Dong quipped.
"Who said that you must eat Western food when you drink red wine, I think red wine is very good with Chinese food." Mu Xichun responded with a smile. reminds me of the last time Mu Xichun asked me to cook for her the night, she also served red wine, which shows that what she said is not a lie.
I took out the bottle and found that the seal had been opened, and I couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and just wanted to ask, Xiang Dong, who was on the side, hit me with his knee.
"I didn't expect Mr. Mu to be quite caring, and the wine has already woken up!" It dawned on me that if I asked, I would be embarrassed again.
"You don't know your friend? If you don't wake up, bring it to him again, will there be a wine decanter here? If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid he doesn't even have a wine glass! Mu Xichun seemed to explain, but in fact said teasingly, how could a reckless man like me understand such a high-level taste.
With my temper, I wanted to say a few words back to her, but she was really telling the truth, and after thinking about it for a while, I didn't think of any words to fight back, especially when she said that I probably didn't even have a red wine glass here, and she couldn't help but blush, she really guessed right.
I had to say, "I don't like to drink these foreign things, where can there be those things." With that, he took out a few disposable paper cups from the water dispenser and poured them one for each person.
Xiang Dong looked at the paper cup, then leaned close to his nose and took a deep breath, and after a long time, he shook his head and sighed and said: "I want to taste countless wines to someone in my life, but I didn't expect to be able to drink such a precious wine today, and what I didn't expect was that this wine was a disposable paper cup, a sin!" ”
I understand what Xiang Dong means, although he is not a drinker, he is quite obsessed with wine, especially this kind of cherished wine, he regards it as a treasure.
I know that there are a lot of rare out-of-print treasures in his wine cabinet in the market, and once I went to his house to try a bottle but he didn't let him drink it, I thought he was stingy and wanted to drink, and I almost got into a fight with him.
Later, I found out that it was not that he was stingy, but that those wines were like antiques to him, and of course he didn't want his collection of antiques to be touched by others.
And the two bottles of wine brought by Mu Xichun tonight are undoubtedly peerless treasures for her, but I don't have a decent wine vessel, so I can only use paper cups to hold this peerless wine, how can I not make him feel heartbroken.
Mu Xichun looked at Xiang Dong in a little surprise and said, "How can Mr. Xiang know the origin of this wine?" She obviously didn't expect that there was a connoisseur of wine here.
"Of course I know, I didn't expect Mr. Mu to be so good at using such a good method, so that you can get such priceless good things!" Xiang Dong stretched out his thumb and pouted.
"It was given to me by a friend who studied in France, and I only learned about the origin of this wine later!"
