Chapter 1870: Chapter 689: Completely Convincing Both of Them! (Major Chapter)

"...Alright then, goodbye, Mr. Zhang."

Sophia couldn’t help saying at this point, "The reason her husband wants you to find a European to front this is because he has his own difficulties. After all, their winery is one of the Eight Great Vineyards, and Europeans, especially those big shots in politics and business, generally have a bit of bias against Huaxia people, so he doesn’t dare to go against the whole world."

"After what you just said, aren’t you afraid he won’t sell you the winery?"

Zhang Jingdong spread his hands. "To be honest, if it were yesterday I’d definitely be worried, I might even have agreed to his terms on the spot. But now..."

"I’ve already made up my mind: I have to use my identity as a Huaxia person to buy one of the Eight Great Vineyards. If they won’t agree, then I’ll throw money at them until they do!"

Sophia blinked quickly. "Why do you have to insist on that point?"

Zhang Jingdong said frankly, "Because after I buy the winery, those wines are definitely going to be sold back in Huaxia, so I have to have a complete marketing strategy."

"And the most crucial part of that strategy is exactly what I just said: a Huaxia person has bought one of Europe’s Eight Great Vineyards."

"Not to exaggerate, but as soon as that news comes out, for the next ten years my winery will be the most famous winery in all of Huaxia. And the wine I sell, besides the wine itself, will carry a lot of added value. In other words, I’ll be able to sell my wine at a higher price."

"This..." Sophia was still a bit hesitant. "Are you sure? Is that news really that powerful?"

Zhang Jingdong lifted his chin. "If you still don’t believe me, you can ask for confirmation from classmate He Jieyu."

Sophia immediately turned to look at He Jieyu. "Is that really true? Why?"

He Jieyu explained patiently, "Because in the past our country used to be the strongest nation in the world. In the last hundred years we suffered some humiliations, so we’ve been constantly working to restore our country’s glory."

"Once Boss Zhang buys that vineyard from the Eight Great Vineyards, it’ll tremendously boost our people’s confidence. Just because of that, Boss Zhang and his winery will become the focus of attention back home for a long time to come."

Sophia finally started to understand, and nodded thoughtfully. "...Alright, I more or less get it now. Boss Zhang, I support your approach."

Zhang Jingdong joked, "Since you’re supporting me this much, I can’t just take it for free. I’ll reward you with another lesson!"

With that, he was about to get started.

Sophia hurriedly begged for mercy. "Wait, wait... let me rest a bit more... let me rest a bit more..."

"You still haven’t rested enough?"

"Who told you to be so... so intense just now!"

"Now you know how powerful your man is, huh?"

"I know... I really know!"

Only then did Zhang Jingdong let her go. "Alright then, since you’re convinced, I’ll spare you for now."

He turned his head to look at He Jieyu. "Classmate He Jieyu, what about you?"

He Jieyu blinked her beautiful eyes. "Right now my heart admits defeat, but my mouth doesn’t."

Zhang Jingdong burst out laughing. "I like that unruly attitude of yours. In that case, I’ll give you a session of speech training."

"Congratulations to the Host for successfully completing teaching in a special environment, reward: 1 million yuan!"

After more than half an hour, seeing that He Jieyu was learning quite well, Zhang Jingdong rewarded her with a bottle of Life One.

The three of them cuddled and lazed around for a while longer, then Zhang Jingdong said, "Hungry yet? Let’s go eat?"

Sophia and He Jieyu both nodded.

Then they each tidied themselves up a bit and went downstairs together.

Once they were in the car, Zhang Jingdong turned to ask Sophia, "Are there any Chinese restaurants around here?"

Sophia thought back quickly and said, "I seem to recall there’s one over on Augustine Street. I haven’t been there in years, so I don’t know if it’s still open."

"Let’s go check it out."

Zhang Jingdong said, started the engine, and after a few smooth moves, the car vanished into the night.

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at Augustine Street and discovered that not only was there a Chinese restaurant, there were actually several, and one of them was even serving Yanjing Roasted Duck.

Zhang Jingdong couldn’t help sighing, "What did I tell you, us Huaxia people are the world’s rovers. Anywhere there are people, there are Huaxia people!"

He Jieyu immediately chimed in, "I feel that too. Previously, I went to Iceland with friends to see the aurora. We took the wrong route and ended up in a really, really remote place."

"In the end, even the car’s GPS wouldn’t work, so we had to ask a local household for directions. Turned out the first house we found was actually Huaxia people."

"I was really shocked at the time, and they were shocked to see me too, so we chatted for a while."

"In the end we found out they were all Northeastern people. They came traveling, thought the scenery there was beautiful, and decided to settle down there for a while."

Zhang Jingdong parked by the roadside. "Now that’s truly ’life elsewhere’. When I’m not so busy someday, we’ll go live like that for a while too."

He Jieyu immediately raised her hand. "I’m signing up. When the time comes, I’m definitely going with you!"

Sophia quickly raised her hand as well. "I’m signing up too. I’ve always wanted that kind of life, but if it’s just me, I’m a bit scared. So if you’re going to live like that, I’ll definitely go with you!"

Zhang Jingdong snapped his fingers. "Deal! Wandering like idle clouds and wild cranes, with beautiful women by my side—having a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!"

Sophia and He Jieyu exchanged a look, and a genuine smile appeared at the corners of their mouths.

The three got out of the car and went into that Yanjing Roasted Duck restaurant.
