Chapter 441 Professional Wine Taster
Zhou Ning naturally dodged and interlocked her fingers with Huo Qingzhou.
Their hands hardly ever left each other, as if they were glued together.
Lin Kaichen glanced at him casually and then looked away just as naturally.
At this time, the woman standing next to Lin Kaichen took the initiative to greet Huo Qingzhou with a standard smile on her face.
Huo Qingzhou and Zhou Ning didn't know the identity of this woman, and their eyes were slightly puzzled.
Lin Kaichen: "Let me introduce you, this is Lily, a professional wine taster. We just met here."
Zhou Ning suddenly realized that since he was a professional wine taster, it was not surprising that he came to such an occasion.
Lily smiled and looked at Huo Qingzhou: "Hello, Mr. Huo, I have heard of your name and the legend you have created in the business world. It is my honor to meet you here today."
Such a warm greeting did not change Huo Qingzhou's expression.
Realizing something, Lily took the initiative to greet Zhou Ning who was beside him.
Zhou Ning simply responded indifferently, maintaining basic politeness.
Lily smiled, tossed her hair, and straightened her back to make a certain part of her body look more prominent.
"I am a professional wine taster. I have been working in this industry for many years and have tasted many rare and fine wines. If you are interested, Mr. Huo, you can contact me at any time and I will recommend them to you..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Huo Qingzhou.
"no need."
Lily's smile faded, thinking that Huo Qingzhou was politely rejecting her. A smile appeared on the corner of her mouth again: "Boss Huo, you don't have to worry about me causing trouble. I'm happy..."
"I don't have a mouth, do I need your recommendation?"
Lily: "..."
Huo Qingzhou paid no attention to Lily's embarrassed look at this moment, and said coldly: "Do your job well. You may not have seen the wine in my collection."
Zhou Ning, on the other hand, felt a little embarrassed and apologized to Lily.
Lily had no choice but to smile and nod. She had heard that Huo Qingzhou had a "pointed" mouth, and today she finally saw it for herself.
The wine tasting began and everyone took their seats according to the list on the table.
After Zhou Ning sat down with Huo Qingzhou, she unexpectedly discovered that Lily's seat was right next to Huo Qingzhou.
During the wine tasting, Lily's eyes fell on Huo Qingzhou from time to time. She really wanted to say a few words to Huo Qingzhou, but when she thought of Huo Qingzhou's sharp attitude just now, her face hesitated.
The winery owner spoke, and soon all the wines for the exhibition were brought up by the waiters.
Listening to the professionals' introductions and knowing the long history behind these wines, Zhou Ning listened with even greater interest.
While waiting to pour the wine, Lily found the right time, took the initiative to stand up, and smiled at Huo Qingzhou: "Mr. Huo, let me pour the wine for you. This bottle of wine is really good."
Huo Qingzhou refused directly: "You don't need to be so attentive."
Lily suppressed her embarrassment and said, "I'm not trying to please you. I just admire Mr. Huo's talent and want to do something for him."
Huo Qingzhou: "There are special people to do it, do you need to grab the job?"
Lily felt embarrassed again, especially when Huo Qingzhou said this, he deliberately raised his voice and didn't give her any face at all. She stood there at a loss.
At this time, a wine pourer came over and poured wine for everyone to taste.
Lily glanced at Lin Kaichen who was sitting not far away, met his eyes, and suddenly calmed down and sat down again.
Of course, wine tasting requires feeling.
Zhou Ning took a few sips, and the aroma of the wine slowly lingered on the tip of his tongue.
Following the invitation of the winery owner, Lily volunteered as a professional wine taster, was the first to stand up and humbly expressed her feelings.
Lily became more and more excited as she spoke, covering her mouth and laughing: "I can feel the smell of alcohol lingering in my mouth and even in my nose. The smell is very strong, but in the end it is light and lingering."
Of course the winery owner couldn't stop smiling when he heard the compliment.
Not long after, the owner of the winery looked at Zhou Ning: "Mrs. Huo, I wonder how you feel after drinking it?"
Zhou Ning was stunned. This feeling was just like when he was a student and was suddenly called in class.
Soon, she came back to her senses and was about to say a few words, but Lily's voice sounded first: "Boss Wang, please don't embarrass Mrs. Huo. She is not a professional wine taster and may not know how to describe it. I..."
This time, he still hadn't finished his words before he was interrupted by Huo Qingzhou in a harsh voice.
Lily immediately explained innocently: "Mr. Huo, don't think too much, I just want to help Mrs. Huo out of trouble."
"My Ning Ning knows a lot, why do you need to show off here?"
Lily was frustrated again.
She had no choice but to sit there quietly, looking at Zhou Ning, waiting for her next words. She knew that she was not a professional, and she probably had not had many opportunities to drink such good wine in the past, so she just waited to be laughed at.
However, Zhou Ning spoke eloquently and expressed his feelings clearly.
Lily's eyes flashed with surprise.
The owner of the winery said with a smile, "I didn't expect Mrs. Huo to know so much about wine. It was a great decision to invite Mrs. Huo this time."
Zhou Ning smiled modestly.
Huo Qingzhou, on the other hand, raised his eyebrows proudly and curled the corners of his mouth: "It's nothing, it's mainly because my Ningning and I always like to taste something when we are at home. Ningning naturally knows a lot, but she is a low-key person who doesn't show off."
Low-key and not ostentatious...
Hearing this, someone's heart seemed to be hit by something invisible.
In the middle of the wine tasting, Huo Qingzhou took a few sips of wine, felt a little dizzy, and shook his head.
Zhou Ning noticed it immediately, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Huo Qingzhou blinked and was about to answer when he heard Lin Kaichen's voice: "Mr. Huo, you're drunk after just drinking a little? You're really too drunk."
Provoked by the other party's words, Huo Qingzhou immediately sat up straight and retorted: "Who said I was drunk?"
Looking at Zhou Ning's worried eyes, Huo Qingzhou patted the back of her hand and pretended to be relaxed: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."
He took a close look at Huo Qingzhou but didn't find anything unusual. In addition, Huo Qingzhou's alcohol tolerance was pretty good and he hadn't drunk much, so he wasn't drunk.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ning's worries gradually dissipated.
Lin Kaichen curved his lips and said, "Mr. Huo has a good alcohol tolerance. I'll toast you a glass."
Seeing the other party take the initiative to pick up the wine glass, Huo Qingzhou also held the wine glass and took a simple sip.
The wine tasting was coming to an end and Zhou Ning got up to go to the bathroom.
When we came back, we found that the wine tasting had ended and the crowd had dispersed.
Zhou Ning did not find Huo Qingzhou at the original position. He frowned and felt strange.
So, I looked around, but didn't find that familiar figure.
Just as he was wondering, Lin Kaichen's voice came from behind him: "Are you looking for President Huo?"
Zhou Ning turned around and nodded.
Lin Kaichen looked around and said, "Just now the wine tasting ended, and I saw Mr. Huo hurried out to answer the phone. I guess he has returned to the hotel early."
