After Being Forced To Kiss the Boss

Chapter 9 – “Say Good Afternoon”

It’s another day.

It was the harvest season, and apart from some permanent employees, Bixia would also specially hire some people to help.

Li Wanqiu arrived at the winery early in the morning, finished the morning’s work with Assistant An, had nothing to do, and subconsciously went to the French windows to look out.

Bixia’s vineyard covers about one-third of the entire winery. It is conceivable that the workload is huge. Looking around, the garden is full of hard-working figures, including men and women, of different ages .

Li Wanqiu leaned on the window to observe quietly, and saw that some were college students who had just graduated, some were healthy middle-aged people, and some were elderly people.

After watching for a while, Li Wanqiu turned to look at Assistant An: “Sister An, the harvesting work will last for a long time.”

“Yes.” Assistant An responded, “What’s more, in order to ensure the quality, a lot of work in the vineyard needs to be done by hand, which takes longer and requires more work.”

“Get busy and maybe work shifts around the clock.”

“That’s it.” Li Wanqiu nodded, paused, and continued, “Will the old people…”

“Oh, you’re worried about this.” Assistant An raised her lips and smiled, and raised her head to look at her, “It’s okay, many old people here come here every year, they are familiar with the harvesting process, and they do things properly. wear out your body.”

Li Wanqiu: “Every year?”

Assistant An: “Well, many of them live nearby. This is a remote area, not as good as the urban area. In addition, they are getting older, so it is really difficult to find a job. Some helpless old people can’t even make ends meet.”

“That’s why Bixia generally doesn’t limit her age when she hires, as long as she wants to come, she can.”

Assistant An smiled: “These are the rules set by Mr. Ji after he took over.”

It’s Ji Jinyan.

For some reason, when Li Wanqiu heard this name, she was not surprised. On the contrary, she felt that it made sense. Combined with the experience of visiting Mr. Liu together and sending her home that night, it really seemed like Ji Jinyan would make thing.

Recalling the experience of that night, Li Wanqiu coughed dryly.

— Unexpectedly, it was Ji Jinyan who carried her back.

It is very difficult to take care of a drunk, Li Wanqiu has a deep understanding of this, Yan Weiwei got drunk nine out of ten times in the past, she was a pretty thin girl, but when she got drunk she was as heavy as a piece of iron.

Li Wanqiu dragged her home, exhausting half her life every time.

I don’t know what happened that night.

Ji Jinyan didn’t mention it, and she was too embarrassed to ask, but the doubts in her heart didn’t diminish with time.

Just as he was lost in thought, Assistant An’s voice came from behind him: “Aqiu, there’s nothing to do right now, why don’t you go down and have a look.”

“Anyway, it’s almost lunch time.” She seemed to be mistaken, thinking that Li Wanqiu was interested in harvesting work, “It’s about relaxing and getting to know Bixia better.”

It’s not a bad idea.

“Okay.” Li Wanqiu nodded without refusing, exchanged some pleasantries with Assistant An, and trotted into the elevator with her mobile phone in her pocket.

Soon to the vineyard.

It has been more than a week since I joined the company, and Li Wanqiu just passed by a few times, and I have never had a deep understanding of this place. Before, I only thought that the vineyard was so big from upstairs, but when I got closer, I realized that it is not only big, but also magnificent.

With the last email exchange, the colleague in charge of harvesting quickly recognized her: “Xiao Li?”

“Hey.” Li Wanqiu nodded, and walked quickly to her, “Sister Wang.”

“Why are you here?” Sister Wang greeted her warmly, seeing that she was always staring at the vineyard, she quickly understood, “Want to experience it?”

Li Wanqiu was inexplicably moved, but also a little nervous: “Is it okay?”

“Of course.” Sister Wang nodded, raised her foot and led her straight forward, and pointed out to her the land closest to the two, “This is Chardonnay, which is usually used to make white wine.”

As she said, she raised her hand and took one off, wiped it clean and handed it to Li Wanqiu: “Try it.”

“Thank you.” Li Wanqiu nodded, carefully raised his hand to take it and tasted it, it was juicy and fragrant.

“Is it delicious?” Sister Wang asked.

Li Wanqiu laughed: “It’s delicious.”

“It’s also delicious when brewed into wine.” Sister Wang raised her hand and patted her. She got a sun hat from somewhere and put it on her head. “There are many other varieties over there. If you are interested, go and try it.” look.”

She said in a hearty voice: “We have a lot of grapes, it’s okay to eat as much as you want~”

The words arrogant and arrogant were written all over his body, and before he finished speaking, several colleagues around him responded together: “Yes, yes.”

This is Bixia’s working atmosphere, which makes people feel happy and warm.

Li Wanqiu pursed her lips and smiled, and responded softly, rolled up her trousers with lowered eyes, and walked inside little by little.

The mood is inexplicably good, the surrounding grapes exude a fragrance, the soil under the feet is very solid, step by step, making people feel happy and at ease.

Li Wanqiu walked and watched all the way, and stopped when she saw something she was interested in, imitating the harvesting method of others, picking grapes in bunches, and putting them into the small box that Sister Wang gave her.

A long time passed without knowing it, until it was interrupted by a phone ringing.

Li Wanqiu lowered her head and quickly wiped her hands, then quickly picked up the phone: “What’s wrong, Sister An?”

“Aqiu, are you still in the vineyard?” Assistant An asked her, “Mr. Ji should be in the brewing workshop now, and the phone should be turned off. I can’t contact her for the time being. There is a document that I need her to look at right now. “

“Yes.” Li Wanqiu nodded upon hearing this, “Then I’ll give it to her.”

“Then I’ll trouble you.” Sister An said, “I’ll send you the document right away.”

Then the phone was hung up, and a file was transferred immediately after.

Li Wanqiu walked back quickly with her mobile phone, afraid of delaying anything, she walked all the way in a hurry, so she hurriedly arrived at the workshop.

After asking, I found out that Ji Jinyan had just left.

“Mr. Ji stayed here all night last night, and he should go back to the dormitory to rest now.” A sister said, “She just left for a while, you can catch up.”

After speaking, I told her the room number.

—1303.

For some reason, when she heard this string of numbers, Li Wanqiu suddenly became a little nervous.

“…”

Li Wanqiu got off the elevator, found Room 1303, raised her hand and knocked on the door in front of her.

Except for special circumstances, Ji Jinyan generally would not stay in the winery. This dormitory is only used for her temporary rest. For the sake of quietness, this floor has been vacated.

Quiet, inexplicably flustered.

“President Ji?” Li Wanqiu knocked twice without getting a response, and continued to knock on the door, “Is anyone there, Ji…”

This time before he finished speaking, the door in front of him suddenly opened, and Ji Jinyan’s beautiful and moving face appeared in front of him.

And, there is a faint fragrance in the air.

She seemed to have just taken a shower, and she was only wearing a shirt and trousers. Her long hair was let down lazily on her shoulders, and the water droplets that hadn’t dried up glistened under the sun.

Li Wanqiu raised her eyes, just in time to catch a glimpse of the small mole on her neck.

“Li Wanqiu.” Ji Jinyan looked down at her, “Why do you…”

She suddenly stopped in the middle of the sentence, and she laughed for a while, and said softly: “Assistant An asked you to come?”

“…Well.” Li Wanqiu nodded, raised her hand and opened the file to signal her to read, the smell of Ji Jinyan drifted over with the wind, it was very fragrant, and made people’s cheeks feel hot for no reason, “She asked me to show you a document.”

“Come in first.” Ji Jinyan was not in a hurry to ask about the documents, but raised his lips, “Go to the bathroom and wash your face.”

“During lunch break, did you sneak off to play in the mud?”

“?” Li Wanqiu was taken aback.

Ji Jinyan didn’t say a word, and motioned her to look at the mirror next to her. Li Wanqiu turned her head to look at it, and then noticed the dirt on her face, presumably it was accidentally rubbed on it when picking in the vineyard.

This made her a little embarrassed, raised her hand to cover the mark, lowered her head and walked quickly into the bathroom.

When he came out again, Ji Jinyan had already started to look at the documents.

Recently, a hotel wanted to invite Bixia to settle in. Ji Jinyan chose to refuse after thinking about it. The other party thought that his sincerity was not enough, so he sent documents one after another. Not only did he promote the hotel’s culture, but the conditions he gave became more and more generous.

The fewer people who know about the matter before the conclusion is reached, the better. To be on the safe side, Li Wanqiu is the most suitable one.

Ji Jinyan looked down and browsed through all the content, and returned the phone to Li Wanqiu, then got up and called Assistant An back.

After the phone call, Li Wanqiu was still sitting on the sofa, her freshly washed face was fair and clear without makeup, making her look a little younger than usual, less mature and more cute.

Ji Jinyan pursed his lips, and deliberately teased her: “I brought back some newly brewed wine, do you want to try it?”

As soon as the words fell, Li Wanqiu looked over quickly, intending to agree, but thinking about what happened that night, she subconsciously shook her head: “Forget it.”

“Alright then.” Ji Jinyan nodded, sat down on the bed again, raised the corners of his lips to look at her, “Li Wanqiu, I’m going to sleep for a while.”

“Okay.” Li Wanqiu quickly understood what she meant, got up and picked up her mobile phone to leave, but stopped in front of the door.

As if suddenly remembering something, she lowered her head and took a deep breath, then turned her face away again: “Thank you for what happened that night.”

“I promised to treat you to dinner.” She said, she never liked to default on favors, “When are you free, Friday night…”

“Saturday.” Before he finished speaking, Ji Jinyan suddenly interrupted him.

As she spoke, she raised her eyes to meet Shang Li Wanqiu’s eyes, and said slowly: “I don’t have much work that day, and I have time all day long.”

The tone is very light, with a smile.

Li Wanqiu couldn’t help but paused, remained silent for a while, and finally nodded slowly, speaking inexplicably with difficulty: “Okay, then Saturday.”

After finishing speaking, he raised his foot and prepared to leave, but before he could act, Ji Jinyan stopped him again.

“Li Wanqiu.” As she said, the corners of her lips curled up in a beautiful arc.

“Why don’t you say good afternoon to me?”
