From city B to Paris, the plane at 2 o'clock in the afternoon will take ten and a half hours to arrive. Not long after getting on the plane, Sun Yan wears a blindfold and starts to sleep. His long legs are barely stretched straight in the first-class cabin. Yan Haian flips through magazines. Look, there is a column dedicated to introducing French attractions.
After finally getting off the plane, at 6 am local time, Yan Haian was so sleepy that he was dragged out by Sun Yan, who was a little more energetic.
They didn't bring any assistants with them this time, just the two of them, but the people from the winery had already rushed over and waited for them. As soon as they left the airport, they quickly picked them up and sent them to the nearby hotel.
After sitting on the plane for so long, I was so tired and flustered that no one was in the mood to do anything else, so I fell asleep with my head in my arms. Yan Hai'an didn't get up until noon the next day, but Sun Yan was used to jet lag and seemed very energetic. He took Yan Hai'an to a French dinner and then took the car to catch the plane.
The entire itinerary was organized by Sun Yan, and he didn't talk to Yan Hai'an. Yan Hai'an was at a loss and only knew to follow Sun Yan at this moment. He can barely communicate with people in English, but knows nothing of French, and he is unfamiliar with the surrounding environment.
Yan Haian got on the plane: "Where are we going?"
Sun Yan said: "The winery is in Bordeaux, let's go there first."
After hearing that he didn't want to introduce any more, Yan Hai'an didn't ask any more questions. Instead, Wang Yue, the deputy manager of the winery, said: "Bordeaux is the largest production area of high-quality wine in the world, and many famous wineries are located in the winery. here."
Yan Hai'an, who was looking out the window, said casually, "Did you say Lafite?"
"Yes, in Bordeaux's Bouillet village." Wang Yue introduced, "Although Lafite may be the most famous among the general public, there is a super winery above Lafite and several other first-level wineries." First-class winery, do you know?"
Yan Hai'an had done his homework on wine, and turned his head: "Lusalus Wine Castle."
Wang Yue said with a smile: "So you are also knowledgeable."
Only then did Sun Yan lazily say, "Is there a bar in the village? Let's try it then."
Wang Yue shut his mouth, but looked at Yan Hai'an with a little more curiosity.
This time it took just over an hour to land, and some people were waiting to pick them up early. Driving all the way, the scenery outside the window has become an idyllic scenery, full of exoticism in every detail, Yan Haian watched it with great interest, grapes are planted on the staggered hills, it is not ripe at this time, only grapes The vines are twined around the erected shelves.
The road gradually narrowed with the ups and downs around it. Yan Haian realized that he was approaching. The sign erected on the side of the road at the turn said the name of the manor in French. A few hundred meters behind it was a gate made of white iron, which was far away. can see.
He had already searched for photos of various wineries on the Internet, and Yan Haian was still a little shocked when he really saw the castle-like building covered with green vines. Men and women in human costumes stood at the gate to welcome them.
Fortunately, there was no such bloodshed, the driver parked the car outside the villa, and there was only one person who looked like a manager waiting outside, who greeted Sun Yan enthusiastically.
Sun Yan always had a cool look to the outside world, and he didn't care much about others. He walked in as if he was going back to his own home. Fortunately, the people around him were used to his domineering manner. Yan Haian followed behind and brought down the luggage. The manager took the time to say hello to him, and he smiled politely back.
The manager thought he was a follower, and didn't even think about helping to get it. Sun Yan reached out his hand naturally when he came to him, startled the manager, and hurried to show his courtesy.
The manager took the luggage and said, "I only said to arrange one room earlier, Mr. Sun, do you think you want to arrange another room?"
Sun Yan gave him a nosy look: "No need."
The manager was stunned for a moment, seeing that the two had already passed him, he hurriedly followed.
The bedroom is completely European-style aristocratic style. The Kingsize four-poster bed is hung with gorgeous hand-embroidered curtains and cashmere carpets. The whole is resplendent and resplendent.
Sun Yan, however, was very at ease. He fell down on the bed and let out a sigh of relief: "I'm so exhausted. Every time I come here, I've been tossing around like this."
Yan Hai'an walked to the balcony and looked out at the grape fields: "But it's beautiful."
"There's a lake and a swimming pool behind here, I'll take you there later." Sun Yan put his hands behind his head and closed his eyes, "Come here and give me a kiss."
Yan Haian smiled, walked back to the bed, bent over and kissed him on the lips: "You are too big, Sleeping Beauty."
Sun Yan didn't open his eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "If you want to eat tonight, you can call the chef and talk."
"Forget it, I don't know what I want to eat. I eat whatever other people cook." Yan Haian simply lay down beside him, squinting his eyes and sleeping for a while.
It was Wang Yuelai who ordered the dinner. Although it is not the grape picking season and it is not open to the public, there are quite a few staff here, and the staff lounge is full.
The appetizer was Dom Pérignon, and the after-dinner wine was the noble rot liqueur from Chateau Lusalus. Yan Haian didn't know how old it was, but he felt that the taste was indeed better than any white wine he had tasted before, with a little sugar Hanging on the side of the glass, it will make the whole wine glass sparkle with wonderful gold.
This meal was probably to please the boss, everything from the ingredients to the technique was exquisite, the taste was excellent, and it was paired with a variety of delicious wines, which made Yan Haian's belly full. He ate comfortably, and was dragged by Sun Yan to swim a few laps in the swimming pool behind the villa. The night air was still a bit chilly, but the two of them messed around and rubbed against each other and didn't feel cold.
There was nothing to do in the winery, but from Yan Haian's point of view, this place is so beautiful, not referring to the scenery, but the atmosphere, it is worth spending time here. He has not been so relaxed for many years, just like a long-distance traveler, he is used to being tired, and he doesn't feel tired when he doesn't sit down to rest.
It seemed that listening to Sun Yan's arrangement was right, and coming to such a trip was really cleansing the body and mind.
While doing nothing, Sun Yan's birthday came, and Sun Yan didn't tell anyone else. As far as he and Yan Hai'an knew, Sun Ling made a greeting call across the ocean. The two of them didn't even eat the cake. They ran to the wine cellar and opened a barrel of wine that Sun Yan had sealed by himself. They couldn't remember the taste after drinking it. They only remembered the smell of wine and oak barrels everywhere.
After the most important birthday, Sun Yan began to take Yan Haian on an official tour. They left Bordeaux, went to the Alps, then went to the Côte d'Azur and the Atlantic coast, and finally went to the Loire Valley. Because I was not in a hurry to conduct in-depth tours, it took a whole month.
Without an assistant, and Yan Hai'an didn't understand French, Sun Yan took care of this journey. It was only then that Yan Hai'an discovered that he could speak good French, and he was also very familiar with transportation and accommodation. He usually behaved like a giant baby who was not working hard, but now he put the food, accommodation, travel and play plans of the two of them together. Be organized.
Some people say that traveling is the best way to see a person clearly. Yan Hai'an feels that he has re-acquainted with Sun Yan. This person can not only enjoy a good life calmly, but also be responsible when necessary.
After returning to Bordeaux, Yan Hai'an had time to pay attention to the news of the competition. Before starting their tour de France, he would call Mo Yisheng every day to ask about the registration status, and he always replied that He Ling would handle it. Hearing this, Yan Hai'an was not relieved at all, so he asked for He Ling's phone call to ask for details.
Seeing that he was so annoyed, Sun Yan had no choice but to let Su Yin who stayed in the country run to serve Mo Yisheng, lest Yan Haian put too much thought on this.
After more than a month, the results should come out. Yan Hai'an first searched casually on the Internet and jumped out of the news.
"Chinese Young Painter He Ling Won the Excellence Award in the Ninth A Country Portrait Association Grand Prix"
Yan Haian: "...?!"
Yan Hai'an jumped up, and Sun Yan was taken aback by him: "What are you doing?"
Yan Hai'an didn't have the heart to reply to him at all, so he hurriedly clicked on the news and saw the award-winning painting, which was "Dinner" painted by Mo Yisheng with his own eyes.
"Damn it..." Yan Haian read on:
— (April 14, local time in country A) The judging committee of the 9th International Portrait Painting Association of Country A sent a congratulatory letter: announcing that the oil painting "Dinner" by young Chinese painter He Ling won the Excellence Award of this International Grand Prix.
This is the news from last week, Yan Haian's face turned pale, his hands trembled, and he muttered to himself: "What's going on..."
Sensing that his expression was wrong, Sun Yan frowned, "What happened?"
Yan Hai'an quickly turned on the mobile phone that had been shut down abroad, and frantically called Mo Yisheng.
No one answered.
Seeing that this man was going to be dumbfounded, Sun Yan held his shoulder and said in a low voice, "What's the matter? Calm down!"
"Yi Sheng's painting has been stolen, fuck it, I knew He Ling was not a good dog!" Yan Hai'an forced himself to calm down, and said to Sun Yan, "I can't get in touch with Yi Sheng, you can call Su Yin and ask Look, what's going on now?"
Sun Yan immediately called Su Yin when he heard the words, but Su Yin was also confused. He came to follow after signing up, and he didn't understand the way before. Mo Yisheng was with his good friend every day. He was obviously a light bulb, so he hid silently just like Yan Hai'anshi. Just wait for the service when you need it.
Who would have thought that such a mistake could be made
He told Su Yin to go to the studio and home to find someone immediately, and Sun Yan immediately booked a flight ticket back to China.
Yan Hai'an bowed and sat on the sofa, wringing his hands together: "...it's my fault."
Sun Yan strode over and sat down beside him, hugged him and said, "It's not your fault."
Yan Haian looked at him, the helplessness and remorse in his eyes made Sun Yan feel distressed: "I should have watched him."
I have always felt that He Ling is a person who cannot be handed over to, and I should not have entrusted Mo Yisheng's affairs to such a person by default. But Yan Hai'an never imagined that He Ling would have the guts to do such a shameless and risky thing.
"He is not your responsibility, nor should it be anyone's responsibility." Sun Yan put a hand on his too tight hand, "Mo Yisheng is an adult, he has long been responsible for everything about himself. "
Why didn't Mo Yisheng notify himself of such a big incident? Yan Hai'an closed his eyes in pain: "It's not just this time... It's my fault, I spoil him too much, and let him not know the sinister heart."
"It's okay." Sun Yan comforted him softly, letting him lean on his shoulder, "We'll go back right away."
Yan Hai'an calmed down a little because of his words, and Su Yin's call followed.
"President Sun, I can't find anyone."
