Chapter 1860: Chapter 686: Three People, One Room! (Supersized Chapter)

Half an hour later, Zhang Jingdong and his group arrived in Bordeaux.

Bordeaux is the 9th largest city in France, covering an area of less than 50 square kilometers, with a population of over 200,000 people.

Arriving here, Zhang Jingdong’s biggest impressions were two words: ancient and vineyards.

The former is reflected in the city being filled with ancient buildings. If not for the occasional sight of cars and modern-dressed people, you’d feel like you’ve been transported back to medieval Europe.

The latter is evident in the sheer number of vineyards. It’s more accurate to say there’s a historic city built amidst the vineyards.

And everywhere in the streets, were people holding wine glasses, either drinking alone or in groups.

Zhang Jingdong parked the car in front of a non-chain, old hotel.

He turned and said, "Let’s go in and check in first, then we’ll explore."

Sophia and He Jieyu nodded in agreement.

So they each got out of the car and went into the hotel together.

At the front desk, Zhang Jingdong said, "Please book me two rooms with king-sized beds."

"Sorry, sir, we only have two suites left."

Zhang Jingdong didn’t hesitate: "Then book those two suites for me."

Then Sophia suggested, "Why not just book one suite?"

She turned to look at He Jieyu.

He Jieyu’s heart skipped a beat, but she said, "I’m fine with that, it’s up to you."

Seeing that Sophia was serious, Zhang Jingdong agreed, "Alright, just one suite then."

The front desk quickly processed the booking, and after Zhang Jingdong paid, they took the room card and went upstairs to their room.

Despite the hotel’s old appearance, the suite’s amenities were top-notch.

First, the suite was almost 400 square meters, with a master bedroom, guest bedroom, study, entertainment room, and a bathroom with a super large bathtub that seemed big enough for five or six people to bathe in together.

Zhang Jingdong immediately took a liking to this bathtub, thinking about ordering a larger custom one for his villa at Jinghu No.1, big enough for at least ten people to soak in.

Both Sophia and He Jieyu also favored this bathtub.

The three of them briefly toured the rooms before heading downstairs together.

It was dusk, with the sunset casting a glow over the streets of the ancient city, and everywhere was a scenic view.

The three of them strolled leisurely, their faces glowing with genuine happiness.

Ten minutes later, they passed by a boutique wine lounge.

Zhang Jingdong turned to Sophia, "You’ve been here before, right? Do you know what kind of wine they sell here?"

Sophia replied, "This is a high-end lounge, specializing in top wines from major wineries."

"Is that so? Let’s go in and have a look."

With that, they turned and entered the lounge.

As it was nearing evening, the lounge was busy, filled with well-dressed wealthy people.

Nonetheless, when the three entered the lounge, they quickly drew a lot of attention.

With no help, Sophia was the daughter of a vineyard master, and He Jieyu was a top-tier wealthy second generation. Most critically, both were stunning beauties with impeccable looks and temperament.

In some ways, they were more attractive to wealthy men than to ordinary men.

After all, those ordinary men could only admire their beauty, while the wealthy ones could sense their backgrounds through their poise and confidence, making them more desirous to win them over.

Zhang Jingdong and his companions were used to this and focused on the wines in the cabinets.

Before long, Zhang Jingdong realized the lounge was indeed very upscale, featuring not only the globally renowned 1982 Lafite but also the "King of Wines," Romanee Conti!

But the prices were striking, with the Romanee Conti costing as much as 140,000 US Dollars, nearly 1 million Huaxia Coins!

Geez! 1 million Huaxia Coins for a bottle? Selling wine is indeed a lucrative business!

Zhang Jingdong sighed inwardly and began contemplating buying a vineyard and starting a wine brand.

Just then, a young man from Japan, in his early twenties, approached them with two attendants.

He said in his accented English, "Hello, ladies. I’m Asou Jiro. It’s a pleasure to meet you. I just bought a bottle of 1982 Lafite. I wonder if you would like to come back and taste it with me?"

Hearing he was Japanese, He Jieyu’s expression sharpened instantly: "Sorry, we’re not interested."

Asou Jiro clearly did not expect such a direct rejection, especially with no face given to him.

The key point was, He Jieyu was also Asian.

As a top rich second generation in Japan, Asou Jiro had only feared Americans and Europeans since childhood. He never took Asians seriously, especially women.

Thus, hearing this, his voice instantly turned cold: "Miss, which country are you from? Japan or Huaxia?"

"I’m from Huaxia!"

"Huaxia..." Asou Jiro chuckled, "Heh, I advise you to come with me obediently, or I have a hundred ways to make you regret it."

Just as he finished speaking, a male voice suddenly interjected, "Your country may be small, but your arrogance is really something!"

"A hundred ways, you mean a hundred ways to be your American father’s lackey, right? You guys do have plenty of experience in that!"

This comment from Zhang Jingdong seemed to hit a nerve, making Asou Jiro instantly furious: "Baka! How dare you speak to me like this! Do you know the consequences of offending me?"
