Seeing the look on Daniel's face, Ye Yun smiled easily and said, "If there's an opportunity, I hope to exchange winemaking techniques with your esteemed winery. What do you think, Mr. Daniel?"
Upon hearing this, Daniel's expression changed slightly, clearly intrigued by the idea.
Realizing Ye Yun was being sincere, Daniel felt much more at ease. He reached out to shake Ye Yun's hand and replied with a smile, "I would be delighted!"

…
The wine tasting competition concluded smoothly, but Rose Estate's stunning performance left a deep impression on everyone.
All ten wine judges unanimously awarded perfect scores—an incredibly high evaluation—and the positive feedback from the audience was overwhelming, leaving all other wineries in the shadows.
Even so, a few days later, the ranking released by Borsado Wine Magazine still managed to shock the world.
Rose Estate and its Rose Red Wine claimed the number one position, officially crowned as the King of Wine!
A winery and a red wine that had appeared less than six months ago had somehow become the ultimate dark horse of the competition, defeating dozens of established and powerful wineries to take the top spot.
No matter how one looked at it, it sounded like a fairy tale—yet it was real. And no one questioned the fairness or prestige of the wine tasting competition.
As a result, once the new rankings were released, the name Rose Red Wine quickly spread across the globe, with newspapers in various countries publishing stories about it.
Moreover, a buying frenzy for Rose Red Wine erupted within high society circles in many countries.
Since Ye Yun hadn't yet officially begun expanding production at the winery, the output of Rose Red Wine remained very limited—far lower than market demand.
So, if someone managed to buy a bottle and serve it to guests, it was an unparalleled display of prestige.
Additionally, it's worth noting that while Romanée-Conti remained a consistent runner-up, Lafite dropped all the way to seventh place—a massive blow to the Lafite Winery.
After the competition ended, Ye Yun politely declined Daniel's invitation and returned straight to Rose Estate to begin expanding production capacity.
There was plenty of land on the estate suitable for planting, though most of it had been used for other crops.
So, the first thing Ye Yun did upon returning was to remove all other crops and replace them entirely with grapevines, hiring specialists to manage them.
In short, everything was proceeding in an orderly and rapid fashion.
…
…
Hawaiian Waters.
Warm, gentle sunlight spilled across the deep blue sea. Although it wasn't peak tourist season, several yachts could still be seen scattered over the waves.
On one of the luxury yachts, a blonde beauty in a white swimsuit lounged on a sun chair, soaking up the sun.
She wore sunglasses, so her face was obscured, but judging from her Victoria's Secret model-tier figure, there was no doubt she was stunning.
Suddenly, a young man surfaced from the water and skillfully climbed onto the deck, clutching a large fish.
"Hahaha! Ivanka, look what I caught!"
The young man beamed proudly, holding the fish up for the blonde woman to see, clearly seeking praise.
The blonde woman took off her sunglasses to reveal a delicate, refined face. Rolling her eyes, she said, "You stayed in the water that long just to catch one fish?"
The blonde beauty was none other than Ivanka, and the young man, of course, was Ye Yun.
"You couldn't even catch one!"
Ye Yun replied smugly, then shouted toward the stern of the yacht, "Sebas! Fish soup tonight!"
"Yes, Young Master!"
Sebas's voice echoed from the back of the boat.
"Young Master, here—dry off."
Alya approached, took the fish from Ye Yun and placed it in a bucket, then handed him a towel.
Alya was also dressed in a swimsuit. Though her figure wasn't quite as perfect as Ivanka's, her long, shapely legs made her exceptionally eye-catching—a true beauty in her own right.
Ye Yun took the towel and dried himself off before casually sitting down next to Ivanka, smiling. "How does it feel to unwind a bit? Better than being cooped up in your office, right?"
"You practically dragged me here!"
Ivanka huffed, then turned serious as she looked at Ye Yun. "Have you thought about what I mentioned earlier? What's your plan? Right now, Hilton Hotel has a huge demand for Rose Red Wine."
Due to the wine's immense popularity, market demand had skyrocketed. Ivanka had specifically come to discuss expanding the partnership.
But upon arrival, Ye Yun had whisked her away to the sea for a leisure trip.
"I already told you—don't worry."
Ye Yun lay back on the chair, took a sip of chilled beer, stretched lazily, and said leisurely:
"Right after the wine competition ended two months ago, I began expanding the winery. The first batch of grapes has already been turned into wine—five thousand bottles in total, all reserved for Hilton Hotel. Satisfied now?"
"Five thousand bottles?!"
Ivanka gasped, her beautiful eyes wide with disbelief.
This single batch already surpassed the total production Rose Estate had ever released!
Then, suddenly thinking of something, she frowned and said, "Even with expansion, that's an unbelievable quantity. Don't tell me you boosted output by cutting quality?"
Her tone had turned serious.
"As if I'd do that…"
Ye Yun scoffed and replied, "I worked hard to earn the Wine King title. You think I'd ruin it myself? These wines are 100% authentic Rose Red Wine—no quality issues whatsoever, I guarantee it."
"As for how I achieved such high output… well, that's a trade secret. Not for public disclosure."
He added with mock mystery.
