Chapter 428 Grandpa, the Gatekeeper, You Are Here Too
The assistant was so scared that her voice trembled, "Moreover, there has been a call on the Internet recently, and millions of netizens have collectively called on Ning Qing to participate in the red wine competition..."
"What?" Zhou Zhilei's chest began to rise and fall, and she shouted angrily, "Then did you take any action? You just let the situation develop?"
"Miss, I... Ning Qing is no longer the same as before. She can be called the most influential person in the entertainment industry today. She has over 100 million fans and the halo of Mrs. Lu. Now even a random evening dress can promote a clothing brand, not to mention her Yifan red wine... Miss, we can't compete with her. We can't afford it."
Can't afford it?
Can't afford it!
Zhou Zhilei's heart was on fire, and it was about to burn her. Ning Qing's words 8 days ago rang in her ears---you don't seem to know who I, Ning Qing, am now.
Yes, what kind of person has Ning Qing become in the past three years?
Three years ago, she was still a minor actress, suffering from contempt and humiliation. Three years later, she defeated her stepmother and concubine's daughter and returned to the Ning family; she overcame Lu Shaoming's amnesia and made him fall in love with her again; she overcame all obstacles and made the Lu family not only open their doors but also their hearts to welcome her...
She went from an actress to a queen, then to a director, and now she has opened a winery...
She never aimed too high, she took every step steadily, she built a house for herself, now she has built a 99-story building for herself in three years, and now she wants to build a tower top for herself.
She wants to erect this tower top to the clouds.
She wants to become a legend.
Zhou Zhilei was chilled to the bone. She didn't know when Ning Qing started to like red wine. She thought she was just learning for fun...
She actually wants to open a winery!
But why does she like red wine?
Is she going to compete with her?
What else does she have left now? The Zhou family winery is all she has left. Why does she want to interfere in her territory?
Red wine is her stage to shine.
No, she would not allow Ning Qing to steal her limelight on her stage.
Zhou Zhilei forced herself to calm down. She stared at the assistant and ordered, "Ning Qing's affairs must not be spread to my grandfather's ears. Do you hear me?"
The assistant was stunned, "But the old man will know sooner or later."
"That depends on sooner or later. Don't let grandpa know about Ning Qing's existence before the red wine competition. I won't let Ning Qing participate in the red wine competition!"
The assistant didn't dare to refute and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Miss."
At this time, "Zhilei," Zhou Heng called her on the side, "James is here."
Zhou Zhilei glanced sideways and saw a British man walking out of the airport hall. He was tall, handsome, and most importantly, he had a pair of clear blue eyes. James is here.
Zhou Zhilei quickly showed a gentle smile and walked forward.
She didn't know that this famous red wine critic at home and abroad was also a handsome guy. She only knew that this James was a British prince with the purest royal blood.
Zhou Heng extended his hand, "James, long time no see, welcome to China."
James shook hands with Zhou Heng and smiled politely, "Grandpa, I haven't seen you for almost a year. I must come to participate in your red wine competition."
"Thank you James for your support." Zhou Heng patted James on the shoulder and introduced Zhou Zhilei, "Zhilei, my granddaughter."
Zhou Zhilei's eyes were a little hot, she was satisfied with this James.
As for what she was satisfied with... Mom said she should find a suitable person to marry, she thinks this James is the most suitable.
The noble status of the British royal family, the status in the red wine industry, the handsome appearance...
Zhou Zhilei raised the corner of her lips and extended her right hand, "James, nice to meet you, hello."
James glanced at Zhou Zhilei and nodded slightly, his attitude was arrogant and indifferent.
Zhou Zhilei's hand froze in the air because James did not shake hands with her.
"Hehe," Zhou Heng quickly tried to smooth things over before the atmosphere became awkward, "Zhilei, James doesn't say we don't shake hands when we are close friends, you are just being rude."
Zhou Zhilei walked down the stairs, "Oh, that's why. James, please go in, there is a special car waiting outside the door, we have booked a five-star luxury hotel for you."
"Yes, James, let's talk while walking." Zhou Heng agreed.
"Wait a minute," James waved his hand at this time, he looked sideways behind him, "I have another friend who hasn't come out yet."
Friend?
Zhou Zhilei looked up.
When she saw it, she froze.
Ning Qing is here.
Ning Qing is wearing a short skirt today, which reaches above her knees. Her calves are as white as jade, and she is wearing a pair of white crystal high heels.
This peach pink color makes Ning Qing look as bright as a peach in April. Her wavy hair is all lazily scattered, and a pair of large sunglasses are hung on her delicate little face. Xiao Zhou is dragging a suitcase behind her, and she is walking slowly.
"Ning Qing." James waved to her enthusiastically.
Zhou Zhilei saw the huge difference in treatment from James, and she was so angry that she had broken her nails in her palm.
Zhou Heng's eyes lit up when he saw Ning Qing. He didn't expect to meet this girl again here. He had never forgotten the rainy night he saw her at Zhou's winery a few months ago.
Zhou Heng stepped forward, "James, is this your friend?"
"Yes, she's my new friend on the plane. Her name is Ning Qing. She also loves winemaking. She just treated me to a glass of her homemade wine, which tasted very good."
There are not many people in this world who can be rated as very good by James. Zhou Heng was surprised and looked at Ning Qing.
Ning Qing took off the sunglasses on her face and waved, "Hi, James..." Then she saw Zhou Heng was also stunned, and quickly ran forward with a sweet smile, "Grandpa guarding the gate, why are you here? ? Long time no see, grandpa looks young again."
Zhou Heng immediately laughed "haha", "You girl, you still have a sweet mouth."
Zhou Zhilei was dumbfounded as she watched. Not only did Ning Qing know James, she also knew her grandfather?
She was on every precaution, but she didn't expect that Ning Qing and her grandfather had already had a relationship!
Zhou Zhilei quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Mrs. Lu, what kind of grandpa is the gatekeeper? This is my grandpa Zhou Heng, the king of wineries in the world."
Ning Qing's expression froze, "Grandpa, you..."
She couldn't believe it.
This grandpa is actually the world winery king Zhou Heng?
Zhou Heng raised his eyebrows and nodded.
Ning Qing blushed quickly. She put her little hands in front of her and bowed respectfully to Zhou Heng. "Mr. Zhou, I'm sorry. I'm blind, I thought you were..."
The grandpa who keeps the gate...
The more Ning Qing thought about it, the more embarrassed she became. The Zhou family winery belonged to him, but she thought he was the gatekeeper.
Zhou Heng smiled, "Girl, how come you know I am Zhou Heng but you feel restrained? I am used to hearing you call me grandpa. When I heard this, Mr. Zhou was too distant."
Zhou Zhilei had a mouthful of blood in his chest. This old immortal let a bitch like Ning Qing call him grandpa instead of her granddaughter?
Is his relationship with Ning Qing so good?
Ning Qing glanced at Zhou Zhilei's gloomy face, and then winked at Zhou Heng playfully, "Mr. Zhou, I didn't know your identity before, but now I know, you are my idol, and I don't dare to mess up anymore. I called you grandpa, lest others mistakenly think that I want to climb a high branch."
At this time, James spoke, "Ning Qing is right. She is going to participate in the red wine competition. If she calls me grandpa at the competition, won't others misunderstand her?"
Zhou Heng looked at Ning Qing, "Girl, you want to participate in the wine competition? Have you signed up?"
When it came to "registering", Zhou Zhilei's heart tightened. She was afraid that Ning Qing would tell her about the things that made things difficult for her in front of everyone.
Ning Qing had a clear view of Zhou Zhilei's emotions. She said "Ah" and said innocently with her red lips pouted, "Mr. Zhou, I have been on a business trip abroad these days and missed the registration time for your red wine competition. I don't know. Can you make it easier for me and let me participate in your competition? "
Zhou Zhilei wanted to speak, but at this time, "Okay, of course," James said immediately, "Mr. Zhou, I will protect Ning Qing from entering the red wine competition in my own name. Mr. Zhou, Ning Qing's winemaking will not let you down." Disappointed, the purpose of our competition is to discover the stars of tomorrow and cultivate the next generation. Believe me, Ning Qing is the person you are looking for, Mr. Zhou!”
"Okay," Zhou Heng agreed readily, "James and I have known each other for more than ten years. This is the first time I heard him praise someone so highly. Ning Qing, welcome to the red wine competition. I look forward to the red wine you brewed by yourself."
Ning Qing suddenly smiled like a flower, "Mr. Zhou, thank you."
Zhou Zhilei almost lost her temper because she didn't let Ning Qing enter the competition. Ning Qing was lucky because she hooked up with James as a guarantee and had a relationship with her grandfather, so he skipped her and entered the competition.
This woman really has extraordinary abilities, but she underestimated her.
"Mr. Zhou, James, I have something to do, so I'll leave first. See you at the competition." Ning Qing waved.
"Okay, 88."
Ning Qing led Xiao Zhou out the door and passed by Zhou Zhilei. Ning Qing smiled brightly at her and put her plain left hand on her chest. She quietly gestured her little finger to Zhou Zhilei - "Low".
Xiao Zhou laughed provocatively.
Zhou Zhilei, “…”
…
James was in a luxury car in front, and Zhou Zhilei and Zhou Heng were sitting in a luxury car in the back.
The butler in the passenger seat turned sideways and handed a document to Zhou Heng. The two of them whispered in a low voice while Zhou Heng was in front of him.
Zhou Zhilei glanced at the information and saw Ning Qing's photo on it.
Zhou Zhilei's heart tightened. This old immortal has always been like this, too alert. Ning Qing first appeared in front of him, and then came into contact with James to enter the red wine competition. Although this old immortal remained calm on the surface, he had secretly sent someone earlier. Checked Ning Qing.
The butler has first-hand information.
This old immortal has the most powerful investigation team. Over the years, Doudou has been trained and become more and more skilled. This is why she has never been able to take charge of the Zhou family.
Although this old immortal lives at home, he has already covered the world.
