The foreigner looked young, probably around thirty, but for some reason, I could always see a hint of vicissitudes of life in his eyes.
Chuxue has just introduced him to me. His name is Paul. He is the leader among those foreigners.
It is said that their family is very wealthy, they come from a long-established family, and are well-established European aristocrats.
The company that Chuxue cooperates with belongs to their family, but this young master doesn't care much about the family business. The main reason for coming to China this time is to have fun.
Therefore, he had nothing to do with the business negotiations at the wine table. He just picked up the cup and took a sip of red wine from time to time, and then looked at the Chinese food on the table with curiosity, but did not move his chopsticks.
He and I were the only two idlers at the entire dinner table, because we didn't say a word about the business negotiations.
I didn't understand it at all, and he didn't care at all.
As if he noticed that I was staring at him, he looked up at me and then smiled at me.
I was a little embarrassed, so I smiled at him, then picked up the wine glass and said, "Drink, drink."
I don't know if he understands Chinese, but he should know the act of drinking.
People are guests, especially Chuxue’s partner, so I have to try my best to be polite to him, pick up the cup and drink it all in one gulp.
Seeing me finish the wine in the glass in one gulp, Paul smiled, shook the glass slightly, and took a light sip of red wine.
At this banquet, we have to take care of the people on both sides, so the wine used is red wine and white wine.
I am not interested in red wine at all. I feel that it is similar to horse urine, so I drink white wine.
As for Paul, of course he drank red wine, but he did not drink the red wine in the hotel, but brought a bottle of his own.
There was no label on the bottle of wine, and I couldn't tell what brand it was. I guess it was brought from his hometown.
The wine must be good, because the color is bright red when poured into the wine glass, and it looks a little thick, like blood.
After taking a sip of wine, he gently put down the glass and smiled at me again.
His mouth was slightly open, revealing his white teeth, but the red wine he had just drank was now stuck to his teeth, looking like blood, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
"You are lucky, Chuxue is a very good girl." He said to me with a smile.
When I heard him speak, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. I was a little surprised that this foreigner could actually speak Chinese and spoke it very authentically.
Although it was a bit unexpected, he was praising Chuxue, that is, my wife. Of course I had to be polite, smiled, nodded to him, and said thank you.
"Mr. Li, what is your position in the company?" Paul asked me with a smile while gently twirling the red wine glass.
"I'm not in the company." I said to him politely.
Hearing my words, he raised his eyebrows and looked a little surprised. He nodded gently and said, "Then Mr. Li must have his own career. It is not easy for Mr. Li to marry such an outstanding girl as Chuxue.
"
I laughed a little, not knowing what to say.
Of course I have my own career, but I can't tell him what I do. Do I have to tell him that I am a magician or a catcher of the underworld?
Even if I told him, he probably wouldn't understand, and even if he did, he probably wouldn't believe it, so I just nodded.
"When I come to China this time, I will stay for a while. I am very happy to meet Mr. Li. Today we are friends. I will definitely visit you when I have time in the future. How can I find you?" Paul continued to ask me.
I frowned, but I didn't expect this foreign devil to be so enthusiastic. He even called me brother and sister when we first met, and even asked me where I was hanging out.
Although I don't have a strong affinity for foreign devils, I couldn't refuse someone being so polite. I nodded to him and said, "I'm on Linfeng Street in Jishui. If Mr. Paul has time, you can find me on Linfeng Street."
When he heard that I was on Linfeng Street, Paul's eyes lit up and he nodded.
"Brother Xiao Huan, what are you and Mr. Paul talking about, why are you so happy?" At this time, Chuxue saw that Paul and I were chatting happily, and asked me with some surprise.
"We chatted for a while, but I didn't expect Mr. Paul's Chinese to be so good, which surprised me." I said with a smile.
"Yes, I was surprised when I first met Mr. Paul. His Chinese is really good. Mr. Paul, where did you learn Chinese?" Chuxue said and asked Paul.
That Paul smiled, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and then said: "This is a long-standing story. My Chinese was taught by a Chinese. I stayed with him for a long time, so Chinese is naturally good."
Already."
After he finished speaking, he picked up the wine glass on the table and drank the red wine in one gulp.
"I learned very well, better than some Chinese people said." I smiled and nodded to him.
"Ms. Wang, Mr. Li is a very good person, and you have married a good husband." Paul put down his wine glass and said to Chu Xue with a smile.
Hearing his words, Chuxue blushed and said softly: "Thank you Mr. Paul for your compliment. Brother Xiao Huan is really outstanding."
Paul smiled and said no more.
But I saw that when Chuxue said those words, his eyes lit up and a cold light actually flashed.
I frowned, not sure if I had seen it wrong.
Although this was the first time I met Paul, I always had an indescribable feeling, because the aura on his body made me feel familiar.
But I have never dealt with a foreigner, and it was my first time meeting him. How could I feel this way?
I couldn't figure out why I felt this way, but I didn't care about it, thinking that maybe my feelings were wrong.
The banquet ended at about six o'clock in the afternoon. I drank a lot of wine and was a little dizzy.
I drove back in Chuxue.
When I got home, my father-in-law Wang Chenghai knew that we had to do our own things after being separated for more than half a month, so he didn't say much to Chuxue.
After all, he has been there and knows everything about young people.
Chuxue and I came upstairs. Not long after our wedding, we were separated for half a month, so of course the night was fierce.
Huajin Hotel, inside the most luxurious suite on the top floor.
An old man with white hair stood in front of the window.
The old man was obviously a foreigner. His skin was covered with wrinkles and age spots, and his eyes were cloudy and lacked any brilliance.
With trembling hands, the old man picked up a glass of red wine from the table next to him.
The red wine was as red as blood.
The old man raised his head and drank the red wine in the glass in one sip, and then let out a sigh of satisfaction.
After just a moment, the old man's old wrinkled skin gradually became firmer.
The age spots on it also gradually disappear, turning into smooth and youthful skin.
He raised his head, his white hair turned black, and his face became younger.
It was the same Paul who I drank with during the day!
