Xia Yangyang instinctively glanced at Gu Qichen next to her.
Gu Qichen's face was cold, as if the temperature around him had dropped abruptly.
Xia Yangyang quickly averted her gaze.
Count Alexander and his wife greeted Xia Yangyang with a handshake, speaking to her in Chinese: "We always hear Mr. Li mention Miss Xia. Today, upon meeting you, you are indeed beautiful and charming. To use a Chinese saying, you can 'captivate fish and make birds fall, shut the moon and outshine flowers'."
The people around enthusiastically complimented the Count's proficiency in Chinese idioms.
Xia Yangyang confidently exchanged greetings with them.
The Countess, evidently, was very close to Xi Zijun and also introduced Li Zhiqian to her.
Xi Zijun wasn't familiar with Li Zhiqian, had heard before that there were eight wine merchants competing for the wine agency rights.
The other seven wine merchants were basically industry leaders in China, all with a long history.
