Thinking of this, she thought of Mu Shuoqian, and how he embodies elegance and charm when he drinks.
"Just because we started later and have a shallow understanding of wine, we continue to learn and seek knowledge. You shouldn’t let your prejudice against a few affect your view of our country’s wine industry. In Africa, many people don’t wear shoes, but does that mean Africa shouldn’t produce shoes?

Gu Qili gave a slight nod, not letting his handsomeness affect her poor impression of him.
