Chapter 394
Ning Qing picked Little Qinwen up and placed him by the side of the French windows, allowing him to bathe in the sunshine. “The result is that Zhou Zhilei did not allow me to participate in the red wine competition.”
“Heh…” Lu Shaoming laughed.
Ning Qing turned around and placed her beautiful back against the French windows. Her beautiful legs were lazily curled up, and she lifted her hand to undo the fishtail braid that was messed up by him. She weaved her small hand into her curls. She glanced at the man. “What are you laughing at?”
He just knew how to laugh at her.
Lu Shaoming turned sideways to look at her. Her curls were lazily spread over her small shoulders. The rays of the strong sunlight streaming through the window shone on her and gave her a gold glow. The woman was attractive and mesmerizing.
“Do you need me to help?” he asked.
Ning Qing looked at his office desk. He put the document in a red invitation letter down. Ning Qing did not even need to guess to know that it was the invitation letter sent by the Zhou Corporation to invite him to the red wine competition.
The reputation of the Zhou Corporation’s red wine competition was famed worldwide, and this type of invitation letter was not given out just due to power or money.
There was a soft, thick carpet on the floor, and when she landed on the carpet, it did not hurt at all.
But Ning Qing was extremely shaken. She had a 10 year age gap with him. In this span of a month, she became more open after his teaching, but he was now…still not in the scope that she could accept.
Lu Shaoming looked at the tiny pink bundle on the carpet. He lifted his eyebrows. His lips were dry. The man’s maroon lips had deep lines running over it. He stretched his tongue out to lick his lips, looking both wild and rogue.
He was also unhappy. “You are also scared of this?”
Ning Qing looked at his handsome face that looked as if it was carved by the Heavens. She stuttered as she said, “I… I… You…. You don’t be reckless.”
Lu Shaoming was frustrated, he stood up and picked her up. “Why are you still like this? You are not romantic at all.”
Ning Qing nested in his embrace. She knew that he was not satisfied, but she was really shy and felt very embarrassed.
At this moment, there was a tightness on her bum. His large palm covered her bum as he went to pinch her.
Ning Qing’s body froze. She did not dare to make him unhappy, but she also could not help but put her small hands on his broad shoulders, wanting to push him a little further away.
Every time he was like this, there was a strong scent of masculine attractiveness on his body. His deep gaze was fixed on her, and he did not move a single inch, just like a lion hunting for its prey in the wilderness.
Little Qinwen was in the living room. They were separated by a see-through screen. In the dining room, after he switched off the lights, he just…
There was probably no such word such as “embarrassment” in his dictionary.
Lu Shaoming placed her back onto the sofa. At this moment, the sound of someone knocking on the door rang out in the air. Knock, knock, knock. “Daddy, Mama…” Little Qinwen stumbled as he ran over.
Zhu Rui took a meal tray in his hands. “President, Madam, it is time for lunch.”
“Yeah, put it down then.” Lu Shaoming stretched his hand out to grab Little Qinwen. He looked at Ning Qing and said, “Eat here with us before you return to the studio.”
It was all fine when he did not mention the studio. The moment he did, Ning Qing immediately jumped up from the sofa and said, “I can’t do that. I don’t have time. I forgot that I have an appointment. I have to go…”
Ning Qing ran off in a flash.
“Madam, have your meal before….” Zhu Rui wanted to persuade her to stay, but Ning Qing’s shadow disappeared in a mere moment.
“President, Madam, she…” Zhu Rui turned his head around wanting to say more, but when he looked at his President’s expression, it was no different than the bottom of a black pot.
Zhu Rui quickly shut his mouth.
…
Eight days later
Zhou Zhilei was in the airport waiting for someone to arrive.
She looked inside non stop. There was a happy expression on her face. She was able to receive the world renowned red wine sommelier, James. He was also a partner of the Zhou Corporation.
Zhou Heng stood a distance away. He was conversing softly with his butler. Zhou Zhilei was happy. The chance to receive James was something that she had always begged Zhou Heng for, and Zhou Heng only agreed after she did so.
She had to perform well when she met James this time and let others re-examine their perspective that they had of her beforehand.
Zhou Zhilei was bored, she took a look around the surrounding of the hall in the airport, and she suddenly saw the television screen broadcasting <Lurker> in a corner of the hall.
That was a scene where they were dancing in the disco, of course red wine could not be missing. Zhou Zhilei’s irises contracted, she scanned the bottle of red wine on the large screen — Yi Fan.
Yi Fan?
Zhou Zhilei repeated this two words inside her heart repeatedly.
Even though she hated Ning Qing very much right now, she could not help but admit that this drama <Lurker> was extremely stunning in terms of its popularity. The advertisements in the drama were not too many, but they were all world renowned brands.
Zhou Zhilei pondered for a moment. She has not heard of this brand before. Could it be a newly established brand of red wine?
What did Yi Fan have to do with Ning Qing?
Zhou Zhilei felt her heart go numb, and she had a bad premonition.
“Wow…” A group of people were screaming. A group of high level executives were carrying their luggage as they walked past Zhou Zhilei, and everyone was looking at the television screen as they discussed it among themselves…
“Which one of you have bought the red wine from Yi Fan? I heard that red wine from Yi Fan is the brand that Ning Qing created on her own. Ning Qing is preparing to open a winery of her own.”
“All of us have yet to buy it. Before I departed from the plane, I went on my phone to have a look. The orders of Yi Fan red wine have already surpassed one million units.”
“That’s right, Yi Fan has yet to officially start, but I heard that there was a charity gala a few days ago. Ning Qing gave the big bosses and elite members in the industry Yi Fan wine at the reception, and everyone had compliments for her.”
“I started to follow Ning Qing three years ago. I didn’t expect that Ning Qing would advance so quickly! Ning Qing has vast resources in the entertainment industry. Opening a winery now is a natural thing to do. This is great news. Our Ning Qing is going to hit new heights. I will support her forever.”
Zhou Zhilei’s hands were kneaded into fists. Everything that she had guessed just now was all verified to be true. Yi Fan was Ning Qing’s red wine label.
Ning Qing was about to open her own winery?
Zhou Zhilei turned sideways to look at her assistant. Her gaze was sinister as she said, “Speak. What is going on exactly?”
The assistant felt a chill go down her spine after Zhou Zhilei glared at her. She quickly said, “Young Miss, a few days ago, <Lurker> had placed some advertisements for the red wine from Yi Fan. This drama has been well received all the while, and the moment Yi Fan was presented to the audience, it received much fanfare, and after that, we found out that Yi Fan is…. Ning Qing’s own brand. The fans’ anticipation reached new heights. Throughout these three years, Ning Qing’s fans on Weibo have been over a billion. Just by the numbers of orders online, it has amassed near a million, and Yi Fan has yet to start advertising officially. The moment it enters the market, its future…cannot be taken lightly.”
Cannot be taken lightly?
Zhou Zhilei’s face turned entirely sinister, as if hail would fall from the sky in the next moment.
“Furthermore…” The assistant was afraid to continue speaking further.
“Furthermore what? Say it quickly!”
