After being in the hospital until midnight, Ding Jiaqi was in a good mood on her way back to the winery.
"Brother Zhang, I have a holiday starting from Friday. I will be at the winery every day for a month."
"Is Christmas off?"
"Um."
"That's a good thing."
"What's good," Qu Xiaoqing, her head wrapped in gauze, said feebly from the back seat, "With Jiaqi here, will it affect your party?"
I sympathized with Qu Xiaoqing, but why didn't Wuhan University kill her?
Chatting all the way, it was already ten o'clock in the evening when we returned to the racecourse. I didn't dare to stay in the haunted house, so I slept in the stable.
Each stable is very clean, with some hay and quilts underneath, so you can sleep right away.
I was sleeping deeply in the second half of the night when my cell phone dinged.
Learning from the past, Zhang Jing was awakened and thought it was another night attack, but it turned out to be Xu Zehong.
"Zhang Jing," Xu Zehong complained because of the long distance and intermittent signal, "the Japanese people are very determined. They are weaving jade for the gold. They are pestering me endlessly, and some insiders are putting pressure on me."
At the end of the speech, Xu Zehong felt aggrieved, "If I don't comply, I will be suspended from school without pay."
In the past, Japanese people came to trouble Zhang Jing and Barbie. Zhang Jing diverted the trouble to the east and asked Xu Zehong to top the tank. He announced to the public that he owned gold and jade. Unexpectedly, the power of that machinery company was so huge.
Even the associate professor of the university can surpass him.
Considering that Xu Zehong has a chronically ill wife who takes expensive medicines that are not covered by medical insurance every day, and he is just an ordinary person, he can't stand up to others. If his work stops, his wife will not be far away from death.
"Forget it," Zhang Jing couldn't get angry, "Give me three days."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jing transferred 30,000 yuan to Xu Zehong. There was no reason. He was rich and willful, and he definitely did not sympathize with his wife's illness.
Important question: Xu Zehong can't stand it, but can Zhang Jing?
Regardless of whether he can withstand it or not, Zhang Jing must take over the responsibility and not let Xu Zehong lose his job.
The next day, Zhang Jing found Barbie. She was helping Cindy in the brewing workshop. Feilai and Jamie were also here.
The winery has 600 acres, including 300 acres of orchards, and a workshop of 800 square meters with a lot of equipment. Even if it is just for experimental wine making, Cindy still needs help.
Calling Barbie to the side, Zhang Jing explained, "I need to announce that the gold code is in my hands."
"It originally belonged to Little Matsubara," Barbie worried. "What if the police are attracted?"
Xiaosong is a renting customer and wants to rape Barbie, but Barbie kills him.
Barbie took away the gold and jade out of greed, and later worried about leaving evidence of murder, so she threw it into the lake.
"The police won't get any information from me." Zhang Jing assured Barbie, "You will always be safe."
"No, BOSS," Barbie begged, "I don't dare to bet. I can't sit here this year. I have a three-year-old son."
Looking at Barbie's pleading eyes, Zhang Jing had to consider her feelings.
Also, don't push others into a corner, otherwise you may end up like Matsubara.
After enough consideration, Zhang Jing decided to ask Wen Li for help. She has thick thighs, so she should be able to withstand the pressure of the Japanese, right?
To be honest, Zhang Jing didn't want to find Wen Li and was scared.
After changing into formal clothes, Zhang Jing appeared at the gate of Manor No. 1032 at 9:50.
Fifteen minutes later, Zhang Jing saw Wen Li in the manor's living room.
Wearing a beige sweater and black trousers, she looked elegant.
Wen Li asked slowly, "Is something wrong?"
Zhang Jing pretended to take out the gold and jade piece from his pocket and placed it gently on the coffee table in the middle.
"This is the seal of Date Munemasa, but it was made by Han craftsmen... Some people say that the Han craftsmen were afraid that they would not be able to find their way home, so they went to great lengths to leave a sea map on the seal."
After spending a few minutes, Zhang Jing introduced Jin Bianyu in detail.
Wen Li was moved and told assistant Li Xing who was waiting at the door of the living room, "Bring over a magnifying glass."
After a moment, the magnifying glass arrived.
Holding a magnifying glass, Wen Li looked at it slowly, and it was easy to find a wavy line similar to an electrocardiogram. Combined with the jade pattern and gold weaving, there were some small dark spots. It really looked like the sea route map from Mumbai to Japan.
As if appreciating a treasure, Wen Li looked at it for a long time before putting it down, as if saying to herself, "Isn't Date Munemasa the ancestor of that old ghost Date in Yokohama County?"
"It's him." Li Xing replied respectfully from the side.
"Ha~" Wen Li was in a good mood, "I didn't expect that his ancestor's things would come into my hands."
Half an hour later, Zhang Jing left Manor No. 1032, and Wen Li agreed to help, with only one small condition: a public exhibition in the Dragon Kingdom for one year.
Wen Li acted quickly and held a party the next day to show people the gold and jade she had obtained.
At the same time, in a Japanese-style izakaya near Pike City, six young and middle-aged men were sitting together drinking.
Looking at the seats, it was obvious that the young man in seat C had the highest status.
"Mr. Minister."
The minister is equivalent to the department manager of the company, responsible for one aspect of affairs.
The man who spoke was Shibasaki from Yokohama Sankui Co., Ltd., whom Zhang Jing had met before. He was thirty years old and wore only a white shirt and a suit jacket on a cold day.
Shibazaki bowed and introduced: "The gold and jade piece suddenly appeared in the hands of the owner of the manor at 1032 84th Avenue in Seattle."
"Isn't it in the western border of Dragon Kingdom?"
"Xu Zehong has posted many photos online, and there will be no fake ones." Shibazaki said with certainty.
"Then why did it suddenly run to Seattle?" Datedera interrupted and asked.
Shibazaki bowed ninety degrees as if he had made a huge mistake, "I have some speculations, but there is no definite evidence!"
It's not that Shibasaki is cowardly, but Dateji Narita is arrogant. He is the son of the president of Yokohama Miki Co., Ltd. and a descendant of Date Munemasa.
Working under him is a lot of money, but the requirements are very strict.
"What guess?"
"A treasure hunter named Zhang Jing just came to Seattle in August. He has no power behind him and is an ordinary person;
He has a chance of getting the gold seal. The important thing is that he knows Xu Zehong and the owner of Manor No. 1032. It is possible that he is causing trouble behind the scenes. "
"Haha!" Dateji Naru sneered twice, "You can't afford to offend the old lady No. 1032, but this person can. Find a way to teach him a lesson."
Shibazaki Hi I should be.
Zhang Jing didn't know that he had been splashed with water. At this moment, he and Ding Jiaqi were in the clean and tidy wine brewing workshop. In front of them stood the winemaker Cindy. She looked very excited.
“The orchard needs to be pruned, loosened, and fertilized, which requires ten temporary workers,” Cindy tried her best to explain to Zhang Jing. “If we don’t do this, the yield will be very low next fall and the quality of the grapes will be affected.”
Looking at Cindy, who had long dark brown hair, brown eyes, and a strong sense of justice, Zhang Jing couldn't help laughing.
"You don't have to worry about the orchards. Next year's grape yield and the quality of the grapes will be whatever happens."
"BOSS," Cindy urged, "if you don't manage the vineyard carefully, you won't get good grapes next year; without good grapes, it's impossible to make good wine."
"You're not even a winemaker, so why are you so serious?" Zhang Jing said mercilessly, "The business model of Rose Red Winery is to satisfy tourists checking in, so you just have to pretend to know how to make wine."
"But..."
"No buts," Zhang Jing interrupted Cindy, "What's the use of growing good grapes? Can you make good wine?"
Cindy lowered her head, naturally she couldn't, otherwise it would be impossible to only have a weekly salary of 600.
The business method of "Baixu Qi Nei" was Ding Jiaqi's idea. After all, it is not easy to make good wine. It is better to completely destroy it and save money.
"Brother Zhang," Ding Jiaqi advised, "you go outside and wait for me for a while while I chat with Miss Cindy for a while."
After Zhang Jing left, Ding Jiaqi asked in a soft voice, "Cindy, do you have any ideas?"
“I want to make good wine, but I’m afraid of living up to the BOSS’s expectations.”
Ding Jiaqi hit the nail on the head, "You want to learn and take a chance, right?"
Cindy nodded.
“Good wine needs to be aged in oak barrels, which takes three years, which requires a lot of money and energy;
It is also possible that after five, six or seven years, when you have mastered the technology, you will directly change jobs and leave. Can you understand Brother Zhang’s difficulties? Ding Jiaqi asked.
Cindy nodded while thinking. Can she understand that, after learning technology, she would be a fool not to change jobs?
"There is a slang saying in the Dragon Country, 'To untie a bell, you need someone to tie it.'" Ding Jiaqi enlightened Cindy, "If you want to get enough support, you need to be sincere enough. I'll go talk to Brother Zhang."
"My sincerity?" Cindy asked, pointing to herself.
Ding Jiaqi nodded, "You have met Katie, she is a tennis player, and Brother Zhang supports her playing, which requires an investment of more than 400,000 yuan in two years;
The price Katie paid was a fifteen-year contract, hard training, and a 19% share of the income. "
With one point, Cindy understood that only by surrendering all of herself could she be truly cultivated.
After thinking for a while, Cindy made up her mind, "I am willing to sign a fifteen-year contract and accept high penalties for liquidated damages; can the salary be increased appropriately? After all, 600 weekly salary is too low."
"The weekly salary is 800, and the weekly salary will be increased by 100 every two years. For every bottle of wine you make, you will get a commission of 0.5%."
Cindy was moved and stepped forward to hug Ding Jiaqi, "I will definitely become an excellent winemaker as soon as possible."
