Keith's proposal was very tempting, but Guan Peng resisted; a man with great ambitions should go far and wide, so how could he be trapped in France just for a few art students?

"Maybe next time. This trip has already been scheduled, and there are still many things waiting for me to deal with in China."

The red flag at home was about to be returned, and Guan Peng refused because he didn't want a fire in the backyard.

"Oh, that's a pity." Unlike Tang Yun's reservedness, Keith said whatever he thought.

"As long as we cherish the present, there is nothing to regret. By the way, are you willing to be my tour guide for the next two days and accompany me to visit this romantic city of Paris?"

Guan Peng invited both of them.

"Of course, it's my pleasure; but Tang probably won't be available. She just got here and has a lot of classes to attend."

Every woman is greedy. Keith actually found this reason and wanted to monopolize the time she spent with Guan Peng.

"You still have a lot of students to teach. If you can do it, why can't I?"

It was obvious that he wanted to abandon her, so Tang Yun would naturally not let Keith succeed.

"I can find someone to substitute for you, can you? Tang, just go to class and be a good student."

Seeing Keith's serious words and Tang Yun's distressed look, Guan Peng was a little unsure. Isn't it said that teaching abroad is very free? Why don't art students dare to skip classes?

"My academic performance has never been very good, especially in French. I have no problem communicating with them, but I have a hard time with other subjects. I invited her to dinner yesterday because I wanted her to tutor me, but this rascal..."

Uh, I didn’t expect Tang Yun to be such a poor student. No wonder she fell into Keith’s hands.

"Keith, you have to take good care of Tang Yun for me when I'm not around. Also, tutor her well in her homework and don't bully her, understand?"

Thinking that if he hadn't come, Tang Yun's experience could have been filmed, Guan Peng warned Keith in person.

"Well, dear, I'll leave her alone, for your sake."

Well, it was only at this point that Guan Peng realized that Keith was still harboring evil intentions towards Tang Yun; but he didn't care that much. They were all meat in the pot, so why should they be divided so clearly?

Paris

French cultural and artistic center

Because no one could occupy Paris before France surrendered, World War I and World War II did not leave any trauma to this cultural capital.

Paris is full of famous places of interest, including the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Elysee Palace, Palace of Versailles, Louvre Museum, Place de la Concorde, Notre Dame de Paris and the Georges Pompidou National Center, all of which are places where domestic and foreign tourists linger.

Guan Peng was unfamiliar with the place and did not have enough time to see all the scenery, so he asked Keith, the local boss, to help him make decisions.

Considering Guan Peng's painting skills, Keith thought he would be more interested in famous paintings, so the first stop for the three of them was the Louvre. Yes, the poor student Tang Yun was also there.

The Louvre (French: Musée du Louvre). Located on the north bank of the Seine River in the center of Paris, France, it is ranked first among the four largest museums in the world. Built in 1204, it was originally the royal palace of France and has housed 50 French kings and queens. It is one of the most precious buildings in the French classical period and is famous for its rich collection of classical paintings and sculptures.

The Louvre houses the Venus de Milo statue, the Mona Lisa oil painting and the Winged Victory stone sculpture, which are known as the three treasures of the world. It has an art collection of more than 40 pieces, including sculptures, paintings, fine arts and crafts, and six categories of ancient oriental, ancient Egypt, ancient Greece and ancient Rome. From the artworks of ancient Egypt, Greece, Etruria and Rome to the artworks of various oriental countries, there are sculptures from the Middle Ages to the modern times, as well as an astonishing number of royal treasures and fine paintings.

Instead of being attracted by the magnificent oil paintings, Guan Peng was staring at some utensils that were obviously Chinese in style.

Hugo said that one day, two robbers broke into the Old Summer Palace. One robber looted the place wantonly, and the other set it on fire; one of the robbers was called France, and the other was called Britain.

What Guan Peng saw was truly one of the most filthy tricks of a robber.

"Do you prefer your country's cultural relics to oil paintings?"

It was Keith who spoke, but she didn't grasp Guan Peng's psychology well.

"I like both paintings and cultural relics, but these cultural relics should not be displayed here."

For a moment, Guan Peng had a bad idea and wanted to take some action; after all, these were his own country's things, and there seemed to be nothing wrong in taking them back; but after taking them back, how could he explain the origin of these things?

He has a petty-bourgeois mentality and is a little afraid of getting into trouble.

"I don't think you're a racist, but you can't deny that they are in the best possible protection because they are in the Louvre."

"Of course, no one could occupy the Louvre before France surrendered. It is indeed safe here."

Even though she was a vassal, Keith had her own ideas, which made Guan Peng happy. However, her reactionary remarks should still be criticized.

"You only know how to bully me. I originally wanted to give you a gift, but it seems I'd better forget it."

Keith muttered something, but Guan Peng didn't care.

"Yunyun, why aren't you talking? Did you not sleep well last night and are you feeling sleepy?"

Keith was the one making the introductions throughout the whole process, and Tang Yun said nothing. Guan Peng knew that she was feeling uncomfortable.

"No, Brother Peng, am I useless and can't help you with anything?"

"How could that be? Your happiness is the greatest help to me. Come on, little girl, smile for me."

It is not okay to favor one over the other. The right thing to do is to treat everyone equally. When it comes to cheating, Guan Peng is a professional.

Tang Yun did smile, but Keith was not happy. It turned out that having many wives was not so easy to enjoy.

Since you are in the Louvre, you must see the three national treasures: Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo and the Winged Victory of Samothrace.

To be honest, Guan Peng didn’t think these three sets were that awesome, he was mostly just following the crowd.

"Where do you want to go next?"

Seeing that Guan Peng was not very interested in the Louvre, the three of them chose to leave after walking and stopping for more than two hours.

"Just now you accompanied me, now I accompany you. If there is anywhere you want to go, come one by one."

Every scumbag is basically a warm-hearted man, so even if a woman is cheated on, she cannot help herself, and Guan Peng is one of the best.

Champs Elysees

The most beautiful street in Paris and a world-famous street for designer goods, the Champs-Elysées is composed of two words, "Champs" and "Elysées", so it is also known as "Elysées Pastoral Avenue" or "Champs-Elysées Pastoral Avenue". The beautiful and romantic name "Champs-Elysées" was given by Mr. Xu Zhimo when he stayed in France.

Two women with very different personalities chose this place. It seems that shopping is indeed a woman's nature.

"Honey, do I look good?"

In the Hermès store, Keith came out dressed up; the big sunglasses covered half of his face, and the beautiful short hair made him look more heroic and gave people a desire to conquer.

Keith is not tall, only about 1.7 meters; but when she wears high heels and matches them with the new Hermès clothes, she looks tall, and her curvy figure is perfectly highlighted.

Guan Peng felt that he must have been blind yesterday as he actually mistook her for a man.

"Brother Peng?"

Just then, Tang Yun also came out.

Different from Keith's imposing and heroic appearance, Tang Yun has the gentle beauty of a Jiangnan woman.

She came out of the dressing room in a purple evening dress, with long straight hair and light steps, looking like a goddess who had walked from the screen into reality; not to mention Guan Peng, even Keith was stunned.

No matter how beautiful Paris is, it is not as beautiful as the scenery in front of him, so Guan Peng decided to go home.

Chapter 40 Winery Trivia

Over the next few days, the three of them stayed in Xingchen Apartment; if it weren't for Wang Jie's call, Guan Peng would have forgotten the other purpose of his trip.

"Baby, I have things to do."

After answering the phone, Guan Peng patted Keith's butt, indicating that it was time to get up.

Tang Yun has gone to school. The pressure of schoolwork makes her dare not hang around any longer. Of course, she is also dissatisfied with Keith taking her place.

"If you have anything to do, I can accompany you."

Knowing that Guan Peng won't be staying in Paris for long, Keith has been a bit clingy these days.

"I bought a winery in Burgundy and it's being renovated these days. The local government seems to have some opinions, so I need to go on site to communicate."

Guan Peng didn't mind Keith's company, so he told her the situation directly.

"Then you should take me with you. My father is a senior official in the city government, and I have many ways to deal with those civil servants."

No wonder he dared to take advantage of students, it turned out he was a second-generation student. Guan Peng, who originally felt a little guilty, suddenly realized that he was just trying to get rid of harm for the people.

When talking about France's wine producing regions, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely Bordeaux.

In fact, the price of ordinary regional vineyards in Bordeaux is not high. For example, the average price of Entre Deux Mers is about 2 euros per hectare; the average price of vineyards in the Medoc appellation on the left bank is 4.5 euros per hectare; and the price of vineyards in relatively well-known production areas such as Margaux and Pomerol can easily reach 100 million euros per hectare.

Compared with Bordeaux, the vineyard planting area in Burgundy chosen by Guan Peng is generally much smaller. Coupled with Burgundy's unique grading system that divides vineyards into grades, the average price of the vineyards is destined to be much higher than that of Bordeaux.

Among the four levels of Burgundy vineyards, the average price of Grand Cru vineyards can reach 435 million euros per hectare, making it the most expensive vineyard in France.

Before traveling through time, Guan Pengcheng had seen a report that in 2012, French tycoon Francois Pinault bought one twelfth of a hectare of land in the famous Burgundy vineyard Batard-Montachet at a "sky-high price" of 2300 million euros per hectare, which shocked the world.

Compared to the sky-high prices of Grand Cru vineyards, the average price of Burgundy Premier Cru vineyards is 55 euros per hectare, while ordinary regional vineyards are around 3.4 euros per hectare.

The Wujiang Winery (now renamed) bought by Guan Peng is located in the Burgundy first-class vineyard, with 80 hectares of grape plantations, supporting winemaking equipment, and wine cellars with all kinds of facilities.

If you want to buy, buy the most expensive one, because expensive things are not only good, but most of them also retain their value; if there are not many special gardens for sale, Guan Peng might buy something more expensive.

The two drove there by themselves. The driver was Keith. Unlike ordinary female drivers, she drove very steadily.

Instead of going directly to the winery, the two people's first stop was the town government where the winery was located.

After parking the car in the parking lot, following a phone call from Case, a middle-aged man with a big belly came out in less than five minutes.

"Oh, Case, I didn't expect you to come and see me. I haven't seen you for almost two years. Is your father in good health?"

"It's been a long time since we last met. Uncle David is still as young and strong as before. My father is in good health, but he misses you all the time. He said that he hasn't found a useful assistant since you left."

A sedan chair is carried by everyone, even in France.

"Your father praised me. I learned a lot from following him, and I still benefit from it today. Is there anything you need me to do for you today?"

Foreigners can also be reserved, but David is obviously not one of them. He likes to get straight to the point.

"This is my boyfriend Guan. He bought a winery in Burgundy and recently ran into some trouble with the renovation. I hope you can help him solve it."

Keith was even more casual with David, a bit like Zhao Ruilong asking Liu Xinjian to do something for him.

"Boy friend?"

David was a little confused and it seemed that he knew Keith's orientation.

"Hello Uncle David, my name is Guan Peng and I'm from China."

Guan Peng should call Keith the same way he calls him. It is only natural for him to have a nice attitude when asking someone to do something for him.

"Oh, Guan, you are very good. Keith is a good girl. It proves that you are excellent to win her heart."

Guan Peng is tall and handsome, and his fluent French makes David feel a sense of kinship with him. He can understand why Keith fell for him.

"You're too flattering, but getting Keith is indeed my greatest luck."

Guan Peng started to flatter and sweeten the subject. As soon as he finished speaking, the smile on Keith's face never stopped.

"Can you tell me about the trouble Keith said you were having?"

As soon as David opened his mouth, Guan Peng knew it was a success. It wasn't like he was asking him to transfer 1 billion to his private account. It was just a small matter.

Sure enough, as soon as he heard what Guan Peng said, David immediately said that it was just a small matter and he could help to take care of it; because it was almost time for dinner, the three of them had lunch together again.

The drinking culture is not unique to China. Don't think that foreigners don't talk about business while eating. It just depends on whether there is a need. When David heard that Guan Peng spent 5000 million euros to buy the winery, he became more friendly. It turns out that big families are popular everywhere.

"So you come from a wealthy family in the Far East?"

David began to inquire about Guan Peng's background, and Keith also looked very interested.

"We don't have chaebols, but my grandfather did hold important positions, and even now, my uncle is a senior government official; my father had no interest in a career in government, he chose to go into business, and I made the same choice."

Guan Peng stops at the right point, which shows his strength while retaining a certain sense of mystery.

Capital society is essentially a profit group of collusion between officials and businessmen. As soon as Guan Peng finished speaking, David realized that he had met a fellow traveler; the person who could take out 5000 million euros in one go to play in France must be a high-end player.

In a word, both the host and the guests had a great time. Originally, he was just doing it for Keith's sake, but as the dinner was over, David said that Guan Peng was his friend.

After eating and drinking, David called his secretary and asked him to accompany Guan Peng and Keith to the winery to understand the specific situation and solve the problem.

The problem Guan Peng encountered was not a big deal; it was just that the locals couldn't stand the upstarts from outside showing off their power and wanted to make things difficult for him. With David's intervention, all the problems were resolved.

By the time everything was settled, it was already seven o'clock in the evening. As night fell, Guan Peng was not in a hurry to return to the apartment. He called Tang Yun and told her that he would not be going back today.

"Honey, let's spend the night here."

The decoration has not started yet, but the original facilities are all in place. Considering that Guan Peng might come to inspect, Wang Jie's assistant Judy made certain preparations.

"Okay, you did a good job today, let me reward you in the evening."

The moon was dim and the stars were dim. Under the grape tree, the figures of the two began to intersect...
