As we chatted, the conversation turned to "alcohol".
It's still Chinese New Year, so there's bound to be plenty of alcohol.
“I have two bottles of 1978 Romanée-Conti at home.”
"A young master said with great pride."
"Oh, Romanée-Conti is just so-so. My dad has a bottle of Han Emperor Moutai in his collection. He spent nearly ten million yuan to get it at auction."
Another wealthy heiress was not to be outdone.
Emperor Maotai?!
The moment those four words were uttered, the young men and heiresses were all stunned.
Han Emperor Moutai is probably the most expensive Moutai on the market.
It is said that only 10 bottles of Han Emperor Maotai were produced back then, one of which was kept in the factory, while the other nine were released into the market.
Emperor Han Maotai is a treasure coveted by countless collectors of fine wines.
Surprisingly, Linlin's father actually had a bottle in his collection. That's impressive.
Several men and women looked at Linlin with envy.
Enjoying the attention of everyone, Linlin was very pleased with herself; this feeling of smugness was really great.
"Pshaw, what's a bottle of Han Emperor Moutai?"
Suddenly, an untimely voice rang out.
A tall, bespectacled young man said disdainfully:
"My family is planning to buy a winery."
Planning to buy a winery?!
This statement is even more shocking than Linlin's mention of Han Emperor Moutai.
"Jiaping, are you telling the truth?"
Even Ning Shaoyang asked in surprise.
Even the Ning family doesn't own their own winery.
"Of course."
"To tell you the truth, my family has already made preparations, and the funds and everything are in place."
At this point, Ji Jiaping glanced around at everyone, quite proudly, and added:
"And what our family has our eye on is the largest winery in Hangzhou—Linlang Winery!"
Linlang Winery?!
Wow, is Jia Ping's family really that big-spending? They're actually going to buy the largest winery in Hangzhou, Linlang Winery.
"That's too strong."
"I'm so envious! I heard that Linlang Winery has all kinds of top wines from all over the world."
Several young men and wealthy heiresses looked on with envy.
“My father has already discussed it with the owner of Linlang Winery, and all that’s left is to make the final payment.”
Ji Jiaping continued to boast.
Upon hearing this, Ye Chen frowned.
Ji Jiaping's father has already discussed it with the owner of Linlang Winery.
As the owner of Linlang Winery, how could he not know?
Ye Chen was somewhat surprised.
Not long after arriving in Hangzhou, he completed a small challenge and won the Linlang Winery.
Ye Chen hadn't gone because he didn't have time before the Lunar New Year.
If Ji Jiaping hadn't mentioned Linlang Winery earlier, Ye Chen would have almost forgotten about it.
Listening to the praise from his companions, Ji Jiaping's smile was exceptionally bright.
What he just said was three parts true and seven parts false.
His family did want to buy a winery, but not Château Laguna, but a regular medium-sized winery.
As the largest winery in Hangzhou, who knows how much it will cost to buy Linlang Winery?
He just wanted to show off and impress his companions, so he embellished and "artistically modified" it.
Anyway, after a while, everyone will forget about it.
He can just brag a little and show off, is that okay?
And no one will find out.
"It's quite a coincidence that Xiao Jiaping's family wants to buy Linlang Winery. I was just about to get a batch of top-quality red wine."
Just as Ji Jiaping was feeling smug about his "intelligence," a loud voice came from outside the room.
Immediately afterwards, Ning Zhengqing walked in.
Um?!
Upon hearing Ning Zhengqing's words, Ji Jiaping, who had only been bragging, was immediately on edge.
"Jiaping, will your dad be home tomorrow? I'd like to visit him and we can talk about the wine."
Ning Zhengqing asked very seriously.
"ah?"
Ji Jiaping was extremely embarrassed after Ning Zhengqing said that.
If Uncle Ning actually goes to his own house and finds out that his family has no intention of buying Linlang Winery at all, then he will be in big trouble.
"that......."
Ji Jiaping gripped the ground with his toes and stammered as he spoke.
He was just bragging; he didn't want to cause any trouble.
If he really angers Uncle Ning, he's finished.
"Uncle Ning, actually..."
Ji Jiaping's reply was halting and disjointed.
"Actually... I was just bragging, Uncle Ning. Our family has no intention of acquiring Linlang Winery."
Ji Jiaping answered with his head down.
At that moment, Ji Jiaping felt incredibly ashamed.
Admitting his mistake on the spot would have less impact than Uncle Ning going to his house and exposing his lies.
Sigh, he just finished bragging, and the next second he was exposed.
Ji Jiaping felt a burning sensation on his face.
Upon hearing Ji Jiaping's words, the young men and heiresses looked at him with disdain.
After all that, it turns out that Ji Jiaping was just bragging and fooling them.
"You little brat."
Ning Zhengqing was furious.
He was really worried about where to find a batch of top-quality red wine.
In a few days, the company jointly founded by the Ning family, Mr. Ye, Hu Mingye, and others will hold its opening ceremony.
This opening ceremony will definitely invite many wealthy people and celebrities.
This required a batch of top-quality red wine to maintain appearances, but Hu Mingye couldn't find any, so he sought Ning Zhengqing's help.
Ning Zhengqing was happy when he heard Ji Jiaping's words outside, but it turned out like this.
