When Xia Ruofei was talking to Lin Qiao in a low voice, Tan Lili's voice came from the side, "Lin Qiao!"
The two of them turned their heads and saw Zheng Peng and Tan Lili walking over with wine glasses in their hands.
Zheng Peng avoided Xia Ruofei's gaze, but he quickly regained his composure.
When he saw Lin Qiao, who looked like a flower fairy in a white gown, he couldn't help but have a burning desire in his eyes.
Xia Ruofei frowned slightly. Zheng Peng's burning gaze disappeared in a flash, but how could Xia Ruofei not notice it?
In fact, Xia Ruofei's five senses were very sharp now. He had already noticed Zheng Peng and Tan Lili not long after entering the banquet hall. However, he didn't want to talk to them at all. He didn't expect them to take the initiative to approach him.
Seeing Tan Lili sitting down on the sofa with a smile on her face, Lin Qiao forced a smile and greeted them. Xia Ruofei nodded slightly.
Zheng Peng was relieved. He was sure that Xia Ruofei wouldn't dare to be rough in such an occasion. The trace of cowardice just now disappeared without a trace.
Zheng Peng held his wine glass and showed a smile that he thought was charming. He asked, "Xiao Xia, I didn't expect to see you here again! Tonight's banquet is hosted by the Maya Group to entertain the suppliers in Hunter Valley. Do you have a business in Hunter Valley too? "
Xia Ruofei glanced at Zheng Peng and said, "I bought a winery not long ago. Do you have any advice for me, Mr. Zheng?"
Xia Ruofei's casual tone was exactly the same as Zheng Peng's in the garden in Hunter Valley in the afternoon. Zheng Peng's face froze a little.
Then, he pretended to be very interested and quickly asked, "Really? Seems like we're in the same business! My family's Wilkinson Winery is ranked pretty high in Hunter Valley! Maybe we'll have a chance to work together in the future! By the way, I almost forgot to ask. Xiao Xia, which winery did you buy? There are over a hundred wineries in the Hunter Valley. I've heard of almost all of them. "
Xia Ruofei said indifferently, "West Winery. Have you heard of it, Chief Zheng?"
"Westland Winery?" Zheng Peng pretended to be deep in thought. After pondering for a while, he said, "I seem to have an impression of it. As far as I know, it should be a small winery, right? But Xiao Xia, it's not bad for you to own a winery in Australia at such a young age! "
Zheng Peng spoke like an old man, as if his family's Wilkinson Winery was superior. He didn't know that the Wilkinson Winery was his father's property. He was just a rich second generation, while Xia Ruofei had bought a winery with his own ability.
The corners of Xia Ruofei's mouth curled up slightly. He didn't answer Zheng Peng's question.
At his level, he simply disdained to compete with Zheng Peng for this kind of limelight. In his opinion, this was a very childish action.
Zheng Peng, however, felt very proud. He continued to speak in a guiding tone, "Xiao Xia, it's not easy to run a wine business in Australia now! Especially a small winery like yours. Your brand is not well-known, your production is limited, and your channels are very strong. It must be very difficult for you to survive, right? I'll go back and talk to my father. He'll take care of you in the business! After all, we're all from Huaxia! "
After Zheng Peng finished speaking, he couldn't help but glance at Lin Qiao. He felt that his image had improved a lot. It was as if he was saying, "Don't be fooled by your boyfriend who looks rich. He's still a far cry from me!"
Lin Qiao, however, ignored Zheng Peng. She held Xia Ruofei's arm tightly from the beginning to the end, as if all her attention was on Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei smiled noncommittally and said to Lin Qiao, "Qiao 'er, are you hungry? Do you want me to get you something to eat? "
Lin Qiao raised her face slightly and said with a sweet smile, "Okay! Let's go together! "
When Zheng Peng saw that the two of them were ignoring him, he couldn't help but feel a little angry. There was a bit of resentment in his eyes.
At this time, a voice sounded, "Beautiful Oriental lady, may I have the honor of being friends with you?"
Tan Lili's eyes couldn't help but light up, but soon dimmed because she saw a tall and handsome Caucasian man smiling at Lin Qiao.
Before Xia Ruofei and Lin Qiao could speak, Zheng Peng showed a hint of surprise and shouted, "Mr. Brody! Hello, hello! "
The Brody that Zheng Peng had recognized was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. He had a handsome appearance and a head of dashing blonde hair. He wore a navy blue custom-made Kiton suit that fit him perfectly, accentuating his tall figure and noble temperament.
Brody looked at Zheng Peng and obviously didn't recognize him. In the eyes of Westerners, all Asians looked the same. Of course, beautiful women were an exception.
Zheng Peng quickly introduced himself, "Mr. Brody, I'm Zheng Peng from the Wilkinson Winery! Zheng Daming is my father. We had a meal together two days ago … "
Brody showed a look of realization and said with a reserved expression, "Oh … So you're Mr. Zheng's son."
"Yes! Mr. Brody, hello! "Zheng Peng suddenly felt very proud and hurriedly bowed to greet him.
Brody's attitude was neither warm nor cold. His attention was mainly focused on Lin Qiao.
Soon, Brody asked, "Zheng, is this beautiful lady your Huaxia friend? Can you introduce her to me? "
Zheng Peng nodded repeatedly. Even a fool could see that Brody was very interested in Lin Qiao. Originally, Zheng Peng also had thoughts about Lin Qiao, but now he didn't even dare to think about it.
He quickly said, "Of course, of course! Mr. Brody, please allow me to introduce you. This is Ms. Lin Qiao. She's my girlfriend's classmate! "
Zheng Peng's gaze swept past Xia Ruofei and directly ignored him. A trace of joy emerged in his heart. Although he couldn't get Lin Qiao, he was very happy to see Brody get Lin Qiao. This kind of mentality was a little perverted.
Zheng Peng immediately said to Lin Qiao, "Lin Qiao, this is Mr. Brody from the Golden Oak Winery. His father is the owner of the Golden Oak Winery, Mr. Robinson! The Golden Oak Winery is the largest winery in the Hunter Valley. It sells up to three hundred thousand cases of wine every year. A small winery like West can't compare to it. "
Zheng Peng's words were full of praise for Brody. On one hand, the Golden Oak Winery was indeed the number one winery in the Hunter Valley. On the other hand, Brody wasn't like him who only knew how to eat, drink, and play. After graduating from university, Brody slowly began to take over the winery's business. Now, many of the winery's important businesses were handled by Brody.
Of course, no matter how powerful Brody was, Zheng Peng wouldn't go so far to curry favor with him. The more important reason was that the Wilkinson Winery was seeking to cooperate with Brody's winery. Both parties shared channels and technology. Zheng Peng's father, Zheng Daming, had put in a lot of effort and was even willing to pay a certain amount of shares in exchange.
Once they could climb up the Golden Oak Winery tree, the Wilkinson Winery's business would definitely soar by several levels.
Therefore, in Zheng Peng's eyes, Brody was undoubtedly his god of wealth. He couldn't wait to worship him.
In order to show his respect for Brody, Zheng Peng introduced Brody to Lin Qiao in English.
When Brody heard the name "West" Winery, he couldn't help but frown and ask, "West Winery? Are their people here too? "
A few days ago, his father, Robinson, had bought West Winery. Originally, it should've been a sure thing. He could've bought the winery at a very low price, but he didn't expect it to be intercepted. Therefore, when he heard the name West Winery, Brody subconsciously frowned.
Zheng Peng was stunned. He pointed at Xia Ruofei and said, "Mr. Brody, Little Xia said that he bought West Winery a few days ago, but I can't verify whether this is true or not."
Brody narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia Ruofei. He said lightly, "It should be true. My father told me that a person from Huaxia bought West Winery for two million Australian dollars. As far as I know, Old West's asking price was only 1.8 million Australian dollars. "
Zheng Peng exclaimed exaggeratedly. He looked at Xia Ruofei as if he was looking at a fool and said, "Why? The other party asked for 1.8 million Australian dollars. Why did he buy it for two million Australian dollars in the end? "
Brody shrugged and said, "I really can't understand. I think … only a stupid person from Huaxia with a lot of money would do such a stupid thing. Oh, Zheng, don't misunderstand. I'm not talking about you … "
Although Brody said this, there was no sincerity in it. His face was full of disdain.
Zheng Peng, however, said submissively, "Yes, yes, yes …"
Even Tan Lili couldn't help but frown slightly. However, when she thought of Brody's identity, she didn't dare to say anything.
At this time, Xia Ruofei said coldly, "A stupid person with a lot of money? Huaxia people at least know what friendship is. They won't take advantage of old acquaintances when they're in trouble and deliberately lower the price to take advantage of them … "
A trace of anger flashed in Brody's eyes. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xia Ruofei. He said coldly, "Huaxia man, you've successfully angered me … I think my father would be happy to suppress your pitiful West Winery in business. I hope you didn't put all your money on it. Otherwise, be prepared to go bankrupt!"
"Australian, although you're so weak that you can't anger me at all, you're really annoying." Xia Ruofei said without backing down. "Go back and tell your father that Golden Oak Winery will close down because of your stupidity!"
Brody was stunned for a moment. Then, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, he laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe.
Xia Ruofei, on the other hand, looked coldly at Brody, who was laughing hysterically, with no expression on his face.
After a while, Brody sneered and said, "Stupid Huaxia man, do you think you're Ethan Dunn? Do you know how big our Golden Oak Winery is? How dare a small West Winery challenge us? Who gave you such courage? "
